Thank you for taking time to read my first ever story! I do not own any of the OHSHC characters, only the ones I've created for this story. I want to personally thank MadameMalfoy21 for boosting my self esteem and telling me that I should publish my story, it's thanks to her that I am posting this! THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!

Today was the day that she would leave London and the comfort of the mansion to pursue her own goals, to live up to her own expectations. The days started out like any other day would, she was awoke by her handmaid and told the time. Slowly she rose from her bed and got ready to take on the day.

"Olivia are you ready? You have a lot to do today before you leave." His voice was stern at her door.

"Yes, I'll be out in a moment Eugene! Can you go get breakfast started?"
"It's already underway. I told them to make eggs and hash browns."

Olivia smiled to herself; Eugene always knew what she wanted. He'd grown up with her; it was his sole purpose to protect her. Or at least, that is what everyone told them. She was a princess, in the most literal sense. Her family was the royal family on London, the Wellington family. She was known throughout London for being a kind hearted woman and she managed to get her mother and father to let her go to a school of, mostly, her choosing. Of coarse they had some say.

"What's the color for the day Eugene!"

He looked at his tie and smiled, "The color for today is pastel pink my lady."

"Perfect! It's my favorite color!" She opened the doors and he smiled at her, she was always so cheerful in the mornings. Especially if there was something that she was doing. She came out of her room in a soft pink skirt that flowed almost to her ankles, her shirt was black and white stripped and she had her hair up in a messy bun.

Today would be her last day in London for a few years, well minus the holidays of coarse. She would be traveling to Japan to attend school at Ouran Academy to study Astronomy and theatre. She took his hand in hers and practically pulled him through the house towards the kitchen.

"Are you going to be studying the same thing as me Eugene?"

She took her seat and folded a napkin over her lap. A maid brought her a cup of tea and a glass of milk. She smiled at her and turned back to Eugene who was taking his place across from her.

"I haven't decided yet. I am supposed to be in all of your classes, but if I choose to study something else it might affect our schedules."

"You study whatever you want! We will have our core classes together I'm sure! I also decided that I will be using my middle name while we are in school. I don't want to draw attention to myself while we are there."

"Maribelle? It's befitting. Shall I use mine as well?"

Olivia smiled, "Kristof? I think it is a cute name. But you don't look like a Kristof. I think you are okay as Eugene. Deal?"

He nodded and bowed his head respectfully when the lady of the house entered the room.

"Good morning mother! Today is the day!" Olivia chimed.

"Do you have to go all the way to Japan sweetheart? We are going to miss you here."

"I'll be back for holidays, and summer vacation as well! I won't be gone that long."

She smiled at her and kissed her cheek, she then looked at Eugene, "And you too! I will miss you as well. Thank you for offering to go with her."

"Where she goes, I go. She keeps good company for the most part."

He smiled and Olivia pointed at him, "Hey! You're the one that didn't want to play games with me that one time! Don't blame me because I'm more fun than you!"

Her mother laughed, "Eat up you two. It's going to be a long day."

She smiled and walked out of the room, she had to attend a press conference and make an appearance on TV. Olivia couldn't remember what the name of the show was called. She didn't watch a lot of television. She read, learned instruments and knew several languages. She just finished learning Japanese a few months ago. Eugene was on par with her in everything. He wasn't a noble by birth, but he was royalty to their family. The Wellington estate had employed his family for many years. He grew up with her, they treated them the same. There was no separating them once they got to a certain age and they rarely ever fought. They were a unit of sorts. She completed him and he completed her.

"Time to pack!" She declared as she finished off the rest of her breakfast.

"Eugene, what all should we bring? I know we can always get new clothes while we are there…"

He patted his mouth with his napkin and placed it on the table. The gestured for the maids to start cleaning up and they did so without hesitation.

"You should pack things that you cannot be without while we are there; photos, personal belongings, specific clothing items. We can replace the rest while we are there."

She smiled and nodded, "Sounds like a plan, lets go!"

She stood and smiled at the maids before briskly walking out of the room. A princess does not run from room to room. She told herself. She had to remember to keep poised, even in Japan. She wanted to live a few years of her life as someone that wasn't royal.

She went into her room and pulled out a few suitcases and weekender bags, she didn't want to take too much so she stood in her room and looked around for a bit before nodded and going back and forth from her closet and dresser pickup out her favorite clothes. She picked up a few photographs she had framed in her room and a teddy bear she kept on her bed. Once it was all put away in her bag she went to Eugene's room and knocked three times quickly and once after a short pause. It was their little secret knock. He opened the door and his bags were packed as well.

"Are you ready to go Lady Olivia?"

She smiled and nodded, "I am! Are you?"

He nodded and ruffled her hair, "I'll have the car pulled around. I've sent Roland to bring your bags down."

She nodded and went back to her room and took one last look around before making her way to the car. She smiled and gave farewell hugs before ducking her head and taking her seat. Her heart was pounding. This was her first step into becoming normal and she didn't have the slightest idea of how to do that.

They were driven to the airport and boarded first through a private entrance. She waited patiently for the plane to take off and once it did she sighed in relief. There is no going back now.

Eugene kept his eyes on her in between chapters. He was reading The Life of Pi as they flew, he knew she was nervous about this but thought it was a good character building experience. She watched the clouds and land below her. This was her first big step. As they began their decent into Japan, she never stopped looking out the window. Everything fascinated her.

Once the plane landed she was taken off and sent to a car.

"Would you like to be taken to school for your orientation and tour, or would you like to go to the house and wait until tomorrow?" The driver asked and she smiled.

"I would like to go to school. You can just put our bags on our beds, we will unpack when we get back later."

He nodded and took them to school. She was in awe, it was so cute and grand all at once. She stepped out and looked around, she took in everything around her. The sights and smells, the sounds and unfamiliar things fascinated her. She walked to the fountain and looked into it, there were lily pads floating and small fish swimming about.

"I am going to go get yours and my class information. Please wait for me here and we can go talk to Ouran's chairman, Mister Suoh."

She nodded and sat there, softly running her hand in the water. It was cold and the fish didn't seem to mind the movement at all. She smiled before she heard someone speak to her. She froze. No one had ever spoken to her openly, they were always formerly introduced.

"Hello, are you new here?" She turned and saw a boy with blonde hair and lavender eyes. He was smiling softly and he took a seat next to her.

Olivia's cheeks went slightly flush. She didn't know what to say or do at this point. Usually Eugene was there to help her and to tell her who the person was and where they came from, what they wanted to speak about. This time… she was alone.

Well that's chapter one! Let me know what you think about it! Please review and favorite! More to come soon!
