Chapter 1

Mia Thermopolis, the invisible girl who had grown up in San Francisco had now been Queen Amelia of Genovia for 6 months, as the days had gone by she had become less apprehensive about the role and all that it entails. She loved the people and they loved her, which kind of made it hard when she wanted to be alone. It was those moments that she sometimes wished she was still that invisible teenager that lived in a converted firehouse with her crazy and unique artist mother.

Soon after the non-wedding, Lily had had to return to the US to finish up her commitments there, because, Mia had offered her the position of being her Royal Advisor, she needed one now that Charlotte was a member of the Genovian Parliament. She had a temporary one, Katie, she was nice enough, but Mia couldn't wait until Lily was back, she missed her friend.

Then there was her grandmother and now Step-grandfather as well as her mom, stepdad and brother, the former two spent a lot of time travelling around Europe, London, Paris, Rome, where ever they went they always sent a postcard. Mia's mom and brother as Mr O'Connell (she still found it strange to call him Patrick) had, like Lily gone back to the US, she skyped them regularly but found it hard that she was missing her little brother's milestones.

Finally there was Nicholas, the two of them had agreed that they wanted to take things slowly, that they didn't want to rush anything. So, whenever Mia didn't have a royal duty to attend to they spent time together, getting to know each other properly. They'd walk through the many gardens together or go for a gentle ride on the lake, anything they did, they did with the knowledge that they were happy together, while also being followed at a distance by Mia's security detail.

One day, 6 months into her reign, Mia woke up with excitement, for today Lily was back, she'd tied up all her loose ends in America and was finally coming to Genovia to be Mia's better paid P.A. (as Lily put it). Soon after her wakeup call of 9:00 A.M. Mia's two maid's Brigitte and Brigitta entered the room, one of the them carrying Mia's breakfast, which was gently set down on the table.

"Good morning your majesty"

"Good morning Brigitte, good morning Brigitta" replied Mia, who got out of bed, stretched a little and put on her silken dressing gown before going over to sit down at the table.

"Today is the day, I bet you can't wait can you?"

"No, I've missed Lily so much, I can't wait to see her again, I'm even going to meet her off the plane"

"Oh, when does it land?"

"11 I think, Katie will know, speaking of, do you know where she is?"

"I'm right here your majesty and Miss Moscovitz' plane does indeed land at 11" answered Katie who walked into the room carrying her notepad.

"Thank you Katie, you've been a great help to me these last 6 months, and I'm sure your new boss in Paris will appreciate you as much as I have"

"Thank you your majesty, that's very kind of you".

"You're welcome back here any time".

"I may take you up on that offer, anyway, I hope you enjoy your breakfast and I shall be back at 09:45 to escort you down to the car, because of the fair going on in the town, your driver Oliver says that there might be a little traffic, so we leave at 10".

"Okay, thank you for telling me, I'll see you later"

"Goodbye for now"

Katie then left the room and Mia started on her breakfast while Brigitte and Brigitta started cleaning, singing while they did so. After she had eaten it took Mia a while to decide on what to wear, eventually she decided on a capped sleeve pastel pink midi length dress and as Katie had said the car left at 10:00, arriving at Genovia's only airport (which wasn't really an airport, just a control tower and one airstrip) just before 11. Not long after arriving at the airport Mia saw the Genovian Royal Plane (which she had sent to pick up Lily) in the distance, after a few short minutes it landed and Lily stepped off the plane.

"There she is, Queen Amelia 'tis a pleasure to see you again" said Lily who curtsied infront of her old friend once she had walked down the stairs.

"Oh Lily I've missed you so much" acknowledged Mia who hugged her friend.

"I've missed you to, oh and I'm under strict instructions to give you a big hug from your mom"

Lily then hugs her friend and the two of them chat for a few moments, catching up on various things. When Lily's bag's had been loaded into the car Katie (who had come along) walked over and introduced herself to Lily.

"I suppose these are now yours" said Katie who handed over her earpiece and notebook to Lily.

"Thank you, and thank you also for looking after this one, she can be a bit of a handful, trust me, I grew up with her".

"Hey!"

"Your majesty"

"Yes Katie"

"Oliver said that he's ready to go when you are"

"Thank you, so Lily, are you ready for a new life?"

"Hell to the yeah, bring it on"

"Let's go"

Then Lily and Mia got into the car with Oliver while Katie joined the guys in the security car, which Lionel was driving.

While going through the town on the way back to the palace they were stopped by the fair.

"Oliver, what's going on?" asked Mia through the car's partition.

"There is a parade your majesty, we may be a while"

"Oh, well, if that's the case, why don't we go check out some of this fair, that ok with you Lily?"

"Yeah sure"

After a moment of no one moving or saying anything Mia turned to Lily and said "Well go tell Lionel the plan".

"Huh, what?!"

"Your job, go tell Lionel we want to go the fair"

"Oh right, back in a sec"

Lily then left the car and a few minutes later she opened the door for Mia and the two of them went around to see various bits of the fair while being followed by Lionel. They did all sorts, ate candyfloss, played games and talked about what had happened in each of their lives in the last 6 months. Of course, Mia also signed autographs for anyone who asked, not wanting to disappoint any of her people.

An hour later, after the parade had dissipated they made their way back to cars and then on up to the palace.
