A Gathering With Friends Part 1

Previously in From Villager To Princess:

"Ready for a ride, Jade?" Skywind asked.

"I can't today," Jade told Skywind. "I have to help Liesl hang clean laundry including diapers on the line."

"Oh, I see." Skywind said to Jade.

Skywind took off for Wildwing Valley.

I'm sorry, Skywind. Jade thought.

Emma came outside with Yue Lan in her arms.

"Jade, why don't you go have some fun with your friends," Emma said. "I'll handle things from here."

Jade looked at Emma, "Are you sure, Mom?" she asked.

"Of course I'm sure," Emma said to Jade. "you've earned it."

"Thanks, Mom," Jade said. "I think I'll go over to Ruby's."

"Have fun, Jade!" Emma called.

"I will, see you and Dad later, Mom!" Jade called.

Over at the Hanshaw residence, Dorrie, Candice, Lucinda, Ruby, and Sofia were in Ruby's bedroom helping Ruby get her old clothes ready to be donated to the local orphanage.

When Helen entered Ruby's doorway with Jade at her side.

"Ruby," Helen said. "Jade's here."

"Excellent!" Ruby exclaimed.

Jade entered Ruby's bedroom.

"What are you guys doing, Lucinda?" Jade asked as Lucinda put one of Ruby's old dresses into one of the big boxes on Ruby's bed.

"We're helping Ruby get things ready to be donated to the orphanage." Lucinda answered Jade.

"May I help too?" Jade asked.

"The more the merrier." Sofia said to Jade.

Jade entered and began to help out too.

Now in From Villager To Princess:

It had been two weeks since Jade helped Ruby take her donations to the village orphanage with the rest of her friends.

It was now Tuesday morning at the Embassy of Satu as Jade was getting ready to go to school at Royal Prep.

When her father came into her bedroom.

"Jade," Liang said seriously. "when you get home from Royal Prep, your mother and I have some news for you."

"Okay." Jade said, putting her glasses on, then, putting her cherry blossom comb in her hair.

"Have a good day at school." Liang said to Jade.

"I will! Skywind is waiting for me, he's taking me to school." Jade said to her father.

Jade raced out of her bedroom to meet up with her wild horse friend.

Skywind met Jade outside near the embassy's front porch.

"Are you ready to go, Jade?" Skywind asked.

"Yes, Skywind, I am ready to go." Jade said.

"Then, climb on." Skywind said to Jade earnestly.
