Your Crowning Glory
Prologue:
After School
I sighed tiredly to myself as Catherine and I walked home. It was late afternoon; the streets were busy with shopkeepers closing and other school kids from various schools walking past.
"I'm so bored!" I complained, tucking my hands behind my head and blowing a strand of hair from my face.
Catherine looked at me, her orange eyes full of concern. "What's up, Sabrina? What are you sighing for?" she asked, her southern accent thick in her words.
I shrugged my shoulders. "Life is just so boring right now. I mean, where are all the hot guys?" I asked her and she shook her head. "Hey! You know what I'm talking about. I just want some hot werewolf or a handsome prince to come along and whisk me away"
"I can't do much about the werewolf but maybe our school's got a prince" she suggested and I rolled my eyes.
"Really?" I asked sarcastically and she threw me a look as we walked past a candy store.
"What about Victor?" she suggested and I raised an eyebrow.
"Victor? As in the class clown Victor?" I asked and she nodded.
"Yeah! He's always running around and playing jokes on people. He's so cute! Somehow, you just can't stay mad at him" she squealed and I rolled my eyes.
"He's too immature" I muttered, shaking my head in disbelief. "Next!"
Catherine furrowed her eyebrows, thinking before snapping her fingers. "What about his polar opposite, Keith!"
"Keith, the cool/perfect student..." I shook my head. "He's always reading some hard-looking book and makes me feel incredibly stupid compared to him"
Catherine sighed.
"What about Carlos?" I joked and she giggled.
"That boy hits on anything with two legs!" she laughed and I grinned.
"He pulled a lame pick-up line on me the other day" I told her. "He was like 'Won't you dance the waltz of love with me?'"
We both threw our heads back and laughed.
"Okay, okay, what about Leon?" she asked and I thought about it.
I nodded. "He's so kind and considerate, watering the plants every day and stuff…"
"But he's more of a big brother figure" Catherine pointed out and I regretfully had to agree. "Oh! There's a boy we shouldn't forget, Sabrina…"
I had a feeling I knew where this way going and by the mischievous smile on Catherine's face, something told me I was right about it.
"Kyle!" she screamed and I slapped my hand over her mouth.
"You are one damn loud cowgirl!" I hissed at her and she laughed through my hand. "A hot guy like him would never give me the time of day so let's not ruin a girl's dream"
Catherine rolled her eyes as I removed my hand and we stopped walking.
"Doesn't one of your childhood friends live around here?" she asked, placing her hands on her hips and I nodded.
"Lucas?" I asked and she nodded.
"Yeah, Lucas! What about Lucas?"
I snorted. "Nice try but no. He may be cute but his sense of direction is shit. It's so bad that sometimes he forgets where his own house is. And there is no point on talking to him about it"
Catherine frowned. "What, is he like 'My sense of direction is perfect'?"
I nodded. "Bingo"
We giggled as I looked at the time on my IPhone 5. "I have to head home, I'll see you tomorrow!"
I ran the rest of the way home and dumped my shoes in front of the front door before bolting upstairs into my room to change. I yawned tiredly, stretching my arms over my head before heading to my closet.
"Better change before Mom throws a fit" I muttered and then fell silent when I heard a funny noise coming from it. I frowned and slowly extended my hand to open it. Suddenly, something shoots out of the closet, catching me off guard as I jumped back with a yelp.
"Hello" a flying pink creature wearing giant green fancy glasses greeted me happily as girl stepped out of the closet. My eyes widened in surprise since she looked exactly like me!
"W-What the fuck is going on?!" I practically scream and they shushed me.
"We did it, Princess! We made it to the other world in one piece!" the pink thing exclaimed happily.
The girl nodded. "Yeah, it looks like we made it" she paused and looked at me. "You must be the me of this world"
I frowned in confusion. "Huh?!"
She extended her hand. "Nice to meet you, what's your name?"
"Sabrina" I said slowly, looking her up and down while panicking at the similar features we shared.
"No way! We even have the same name!" she exclaimed, clapping her hands slightly. "I'm Sabrina too! I'm a princess!"
I raised an eyebrow. "Am I supposed to be impressed?" I asked sarcastically and she frowned, tilting her head in confusion. She opened her mouth to speak but the pink thing interrupted her.
"Hello! Kip Hamoon Stallon the 777th, at your service!" Kip greeted happily and I frowned.
"The 777th?" I asked, since it stood out to me the most. Kip sighed and scratched his chin slightly.
"Well, I suppose an explanation is in order. So, a long time ago, my grandfather—"
"Kip, it'll take all day to tell that story!" Sabrina interrupted, throwing Kip a stern look who laughed.
"Oh sorry! I just lose all sense of time when it comes to my name!" Kip laughed in embarrassment and I shook my head in disbelief.
"What's wrong? You seem a bit out of sorts" Sabrina asked, looking at me worriedly and my eye twitched in frustration.
"Maybe that because I have two strangers that just 'poof' from my closet and are talking about things I have no freakin clue about. WHO ARE YOU GUYS?!"
Sabrina frowned in confusion. "Huh? Didn't we just say? I'm Princess Sabrina and this is—"
"—Kip her tutor" Kip finished for her and I rolled my eyes, crossing my arms over my chest.
"Princess of what exactly? Where did you come from besides my closet?" I asked.
Sabrina smiled. "Why, another world of course!" she stated like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"And that's where you lost me" I muttered. "Another world? And where would that world be?"
"Just beyond that closet" Sabrina answered cheerfully and I was starting to get annoyed by all of this.
"Okkayy…and what are you doing here exactly?" I asked her and she laughed in embarrassment.
"Well, the thing is, our Kingdom hosts an annual dance party called the Ball in Saint-Lyon. I'm supposed to partner with some kingdom's prince for the dance" she explained and then sighed sadly. "But, I'm really bad at dancing so I ran away"
I was at a loss of words for her stupidity.
"So that's why we came here to this world!" Kip quickly, seeing I was about to make a comment. "We'd like you to take the Princess's place"
"No way!" I exclaimed, looking at them both bewildered that they would ask such a thing.
They looked at me surprised.
"W-What did you say?!" Sabrina asked, her own temper rising while Kip tried to calm her down.
"Why in the world do I have to do something like that?" I asked. "Ever heard of practicing?!"
Before either of them could get a word in, I continued my rant.
"Kingdoms and princesses, tutors and closet worlds!" I exclaimed and Sabrina held out her hand in a gesture of silencing me.
"It's not a closet world, it's a parallel world" she corrected and I glared daggers at her. She bit her bottom lip, instantly regretting what she did in trying to shut me up.
"I don't care what the hell it is! There's no such thing as parallel worlds!" I shouted at her.
Sabrina frowned. "So you don't believe us?" she asked and I gave her a look that said 'you're kidding right?'
"There's nothing but clothes in that closet" I told her and she sighed tiredly.
"This is a problem…" she broke off as Kip nodded in agreement. "But it's true! It really is!"
I rolled my eyes. "Well then if it's really true, then why don't you show me this 'other world' of yours?" I asked, sarcasm rolling off my tongue in waves. It didn't faze her as she smiled brightly.
"Really?! You'll go then?" she asked and I nodded.
"Yeah sure, whatever" I muttered. There's no way in hell this place is real!
Kip grinned. "I'll open the door!" he announced, opening the closet and my eyes widened slightly. Instead of the usual, familiar clothes inside, there was a giant purple vortex that swirled furiously.
"What the fuck is that thing?!" I exclaimed worriedly, taking a step back slightly.
Kip just smiled. "Don't worry! There's nothing to be scared of, just follow me" he said as he jumped into the vortex and disappeared into thin air. My mouth dropped open.
"This is a dream, nothing can hurt me" I whispered to myself, seeing as that was the most logical explanation. I was about to take a step forward when I felt a hand on my shoulder. I spun around and saw Sabrina look at me carefully.
"By the way, there's an emerald necklace in my room" she said and I frowned.
"And what does that have to do with anything?" I asked, crossing my arms over my chest and she narrowed her eyes.
"It's very important to me. So, whatever you do, don't touch it" she warned and I rolled my eyes.
"Emerald necklace equals no touchie. Noted. Anything else?" I asked sarcastically and she sighed, shaking her head.
"Are you always this sarcastic?"
"It's my speciality"
I turned my attention back to the vortex and took a deep breath before running and jumping into it. I was sucked in by a strong wind, knocking the wind out of me as I squeezed my eyes shut.
My body was spinning in an endless circle as I opened my eyes in wonder. It was some kind of night sky, except, it was violet with golden stars filling the air.
So beautiful I thought as I watched the stars fly around.
"Princess!" Kip called, floating towards me and grabbing my hand. I was too stunned to object when we climbed out of the closet, unharmed. "We're here!"
"Huh?" I frowned, walking over to the window and I stopped breathing at the sights before me. Outside, I could see hundreds or rather thousands of flowers in a flower garden. People dressed like they belonged in the Middle Ages walking along the roads. But the thing that caught my attention the most was the fact that the animals were dressed in human clothes.
"This is the Flower Kingdom. It lies on the Roserasia Continent of this world" Kip explained as I continued to stare out the window.
I turned away from the window and stared at Kip in disbelief. "'This world'? You mean…we really are in another world?"
Kip nodded as the reality of the situation finally sunk in.
"NO WAY! YOU'VE GOT TO BE FREAKIN' KIDDING ME!"
Kip winced at the sudden volume my voice took while I continued, my heart pounding hard in my chest.
"Take me back right now!" I demanded and Kip opened his mouth to say something when a knock at the door cut him off. Without a second later, a procession of strange-looking animals fill the room.
"Princess!" the older looking one with a beard exclaimed. It looked like a pink koala in a blue waist coat. "We've finally found you!"
"Princess?!" I repeated, confused and taking a step back from them. "Uh…"
A similar looking pink koala but this time, wearing an orange dress floated next to the old one. "Lord Crown has been worried about you!" she frowned and started picking at my school uniform with disgust. "What in the blazes are you wearing?"
I slapped her away, glaring. "Hey! I'm not fond of it either but there is no need to be hating on the uniform"
A light blue bear in a green waist coat appeared right in front of me, startling me as I let out a surprise yelp.
"Please, get changed quickly, Princess! The dinner party is scheduled to begin shortly" he demanded and my eyes widened as I looked at all of them.
"H-Hold on! Who are you people?!" I exclaimed in fear while Kip quickly flew to my ear.
"Have you forgotten, Princess? They're your servants" he whispered to me and I glared at him.
"Servants?! What do you mean? I don't have servants!" I told him sharply, causing confusion among the animal things.
"What is the princess talking about?" the old one asked, stroking his beard in confusion.
The female one shook her head. "I have no idea…"
I spun my attention at them when I realised something. "Wait just a damn minute! I'm not the princess!"
They all groaned.
"Oh no, not again…Her Highness tried to pull this last week" the light blue one sighed in disappointed.
Are you freakin' kidding me?! I have to convince them! I shook my head furiously. "No, no, no! I'm telling you, I'm really not the princess!"
When they all looked at me in unimpressed looks, I groaned, gripping my head as I felt it pounding furiously.
"I can't believe this is all happening…I feel like my head's been kicked by a horse" I muttered under my breath and then I glared at Kip. "Just let me go back to my own world!"
Kip laughed nervously and shuffled the other out of the room before turning to my with an apologetic look on his face.
"That's impossible. You can't go home unless you have the key to the door that connects the two worlds" Kip explained and I sighed in irritation, tapping my foot against the dark pink marble floor.
"Well, where the hell is it?" I asked.
Kip blinked. "The princess has it"
I groaned, slapping my forehead in irritation. "Of course…does that mean I'm stuck here?"
Kip nodded. "Just resign yourself to the fact that you're here for now"
"You do realise you're holding me here against my will? I never agreed to do this whole thing" I pointed out and Kip shrugged his shoulders before allowing the others back into the room.
"Come now!" the light blue one exclaimed. "That's not something a princess should wear!"
The female one agreed and handed me a silver tiara with an emerald in the middle. "Change with this"
I took it and looked at them as if they were all on crack. Kip saw this and chuckled lightly.
"Just put this on and you can transform" he explained and I sighed tiredly, lightly placing it on top of my head.
"Yeah, 'cause there's nothing else weirder than transforming" I muttered and then gasped as light pink, shining ribbons surrounded my body completely. "Kip! What's happening?!"
"Just relax! Everything is fine" Kip reassured me and the ribbons pressed tighter until they slowly formed into a beautiful pink dress. It covered my feet with white slippers and a pink ribbon turned into a bow near my neck, a single emerald in the middle of it. The ribbons then turned to my hair, tying some of it half up, half down.
When it stopped, I was left standing in the middle of the room, completely dumbfounded. "What the hell just happened?" was all I could muster out of my mouth.
The light blue one frowned. "You mean the tiara? It's a magical tiara! Isn't it obvious?"
I opened my mouth, a snarky comment at the ready when Kip slapped his paws over my mouth.
"We have to leave for the dinner party right away! If you'll excuse us!" Kip laughed nervously, shoving me out of the door and down a long corridor.
"Leave? Like now?" I asked, raising my eyebrow. "Considering I've been kidnapped, I thought you'd let me relax"
Kip's eye twitched. "No! There's no time for lollygagging! It's a very important dinner party!"
I rolled my eyes as we walked down some stairs and further down a long hallway.
"Come, we must hurry" Kip rushed ahead and I groaned.
"Wait up!" I growled as I lifted up the front of the dress, running after Kip. "I can't run in a dress!"
For those who like Sim Dating RPGs, such as My Candy Love and Sim Days from Pacthesis, then you'll like Princess Debut. As before, there's not many fan fics on this game and very few good ones so, here is my contribution. Of course, adding my own little sarcastic nature to it and dialogue along with the actual dialogue...enjoy!
Need more convincing? (What is this? An add break?) then if you like 'My Little Rebel' and currently like 'My Little President' then you can expect the same, romantic, humorous, sarcasm from them.
