A/N: Hello! this is a story that iv'e had in my head for a while ever since I head about the movie. Please review! Also the title for this chapter comes from nick Jonas's song ( introducing me) from camp rock 2. Hope you enjoy! :)
Lily was laying in the soft grass as she looked up at the stars curled up against her oldest and dearest companion Orion. If it wasn't for his bright white markings he too would blend into the darkness that surrounded them. The young princess found solace in the night sky, it was moments like this that truly made her happy. Free of the ties that the morning sun would soon bring.
"Orion, I sometimes wish that I could be someone else. Someone free of a royal life, of responsibilities, of having to be good all the time. Not that I really live up to those standards in the first place. I just hate feeling trapped. I need something different, something new!" Orion neighs in response causing her to laugh. A few moments of silence pass as Lily gazes up at the sky above her realizing just how vast the world really was. Lily sighs as she looks up at the moon; she begins to softly sing.
"I want much more than this highborn life. I want adventure in the great wide somewhere, I want it more than I can tell and for once it might be grand to have someone understand. I want so much more than they've got planned" shaking her head to rid it of impossible dreams.
"I think it's about time to head back to reality what you think boy?" Orion nudges the princess in agreement nearly knocking her over.
"Okay, okay I get it … come on then let's go home"
She could begin to make out the spires over the tree tops she starts to pull back on the reins
"Whoa boy we have to sneaky remember?" She hops off and making sure no one was around.
"Shhh" she leads Orion to the stables behind the castle "that's a good boy" Orion nudges her pocket.
"Well aren't you a greedy little bugger" Orion snorts in annoyance "ok here" Lily removes a glistening sugar cube from her pocket. Orion eyes it eagerly as she places it on her open palm.
"Good night boy" giving everything one last once over before she returned to the castle with a smile. Lily quickly walks back to the window that she left ajar thankfully no one had noticed. Slinking in like a cat she made her way back to her room. Just as lily was about the turn into her wing of the castle a voice rang out stopping her head in her tracks.
"Princess Liliana!" Damn she thought she almost made it this time. Plastering a huge smile on her face she turns around.
"Hildegard what a surprise seeing you here" said Lily who was trying to act as innocent as possible.
"I should be saying that to you your highness, you know you shouldn't be out at this hour" she voice stern with her hand on her hips.
"Who said I was out? Maybe I was just getting a midnight snack"
"Dressed like that and covered in grass stains?" Lily could feel Hildegard's eyes boring into her. She looks down noting that she was in fact cover in grass stains. Nothing could get passed her former nurse maid.
"It's not like anything bad was going to happen" Lily turns to walk down the elegant hallway Hildegard right at her heels
"That's not the point!" replies flustered her face getting red.
"I don't get the big deal" Liliana retorts as she finally reaches her room she's almost free!
"You broke curfew!"
"Hildy you can yell at me in the morning alright? It late" and with that the next thing Hildegard saw was the wood panel of the young princess's door.
"That princess will be the death of me!" Hildegard huffs knowing that this wouldn't be the last time she would catch the young princess sneaking out. If only she could be a bit more like her brother and respect rules and order. The truth of the matter was that Lily had the capabilities to do just that, but she found that life was a bit more fun with a little bit of chaos. She believed in this perfect world it was her duty to provide just that.
The next morning began like any other ….. with a little chaos.
"Princess Liliana, Princess" a frazzled handmaiden rushed through the palace halls with the remnants of a nearly florescent pink dress in her hands. Waving it madly. The princess in question could be found darting in between the servants her auburn hair dancing like fire in the morning sunlight. She turns the corner only to be met with the one person that could make her stop in her tracks.
"Mother!" skidded to a stop and began to pat flatten her clothes of any creases.
"Darling are you evading your handmaiden again?"
"Maybe" the Queen gives her daughter a pointed look Lily hangs her head as the pattern in the carpet suddenly looks really interesting.
"You know how much of a fright that gives her, and aren't you supposed to be at the opening for the new children's center in an hour" Lily's head shoots up
"Yes, we just had some…um… fashion differences" really Lily just wanted a reason to mess with the new girl. It also helped that the dress was horrid.
"Your Highness… please just try it on…"Jenny finally caught up completely out of breath "oh my! Your majesty, I am so sorry" the young woman quickly curtsies Queen Belle put up a hand to interject.
"It is perfectly alright Jenny" politely smiles at the young girl seeing her visible distress.
"Yes your highness" the flustered young woman curtsies. The horrid pink dress still in her hands.
"Now Lily darling finish getting ready. We do not need any more mishaps"
"Yes mother" she said brightly
The exasperated young hand maiden hands the dress over to Hildegard who appeared as always just when she is needed most.
"That will be all Jenny" Hildegard dismisses the young woman turning the dress over in her hands
"Yes miss… your highness" turns to each respectfully before she departs.
"If you think I'm going to wear that you have another thing coming" changing behind "it's too … what's the word…Audrey-like" snaps her fingers
"What do you have against princess Audrey in first place miss?"
"She gives us princesses a bad name masquerading like she does"
"She seems alright to me miss"
"That's exactly what she wants you to think."
"It also doesn't help that she's dating my brother" Lily grumbles in annoyance.
"Of course …your highness need I remind you that if you continue at this pace you will be late?"
"I have an hour!"
"Yes but that was 30 minutes ago and you still haven't eaten and we have to take the actual travel time into consideration"
"Great" Lily rushed toward the vanity trying to make herself as presentable as possible thanking the stars that she wasn't next in line. The press loved her because no matter how hard she tried something always managed to go wrong. Her brother on the other hand was the perfect prince what else would you expect from Auradon's next king. Little did she know that, that very same brother was about to stir things up in Auradon for good.
