So this is my newest story, 'Something Like Cinderella'. It takes place in a 21st century kingdom with a King, Queen, and princess. Hope you like it! I don't own HOA.

Every one member of the Rutter masion staff was running around like crazy trying to prepare for the arrival of Princess Nina Marten. Fabian Rutter was among the throng of servants trying to make things perfect for her. "Get up you worthless piece of trash!" screamed Natasha Rutter, Fabian's step mother. She was screaming at him because he had fallen over, dropping several books. "Yes mother dearest." he said threw gritted teeth. "And may you die." he had muttered the last part.

"What did you say to me?" screamed Mrs. Rutter.

"Nothing mother dearest."

"Good now I expect you to go and pick up the princess in 10 minuets from the airport. Now go and get your self presentable." and he ran off to his small dank room. Quickly throwing off his shirt he pulled on a less messed up one and a good pair of jeans. He ran out off his room to the ever present whine on his 3 step brothers, Jerome, Eddie, and Mick. The one whine that wasn't from them was from his adoptive brother Alfie. "But mum! Why can't WE go and get the princess? Why does it have to be him!" whined Jerome.

"Ya! He's not good looking!" whined Eddie.

"He'll never get the attention of the princess!" whined Mick.

"Why can't I have a cookie!" whined Alfie. Alfie didn't care about the princess because he already had a girlfriend and wasn't planing to cheat any time soon. "Alfie! I will give you a cookie if you shut up and go to your room!" sighed Mrs. Rutter.

Soon Fabian was walking out of the door, and driving up to the airport. He wasn't sure what to expect. A party of people surrounding a girl in the most elaborate dresses? When he stopped he didn't see any of that. He got out of the car and stood waiting. Soon a very ordinary girl about 18, the same age as him, walked up to him. "Hi are you Fabian Rutter?" she asked in an American accent.

"Ya. Who are you?"

"Nina Marten. PATRICIA! I FOUND HIM! Sorry, we've been waiting here for about 2 hours." Fabian looked at the girl in disbelief. He looked her over a again. He started from the bottom up, for he was already looking down at the ground. She was wearing black flats and, as he moved his head up a bit more, skinny jeans with small rips going up the front. He moved his head up even more to see a white t-shirt covered by a green jacket, that looked really cute on her. Then he focused on her face. She had tan-ish skin and beautiful green eyes. She had dirty blond hair that was hanging down loosely. She had a small smile playing on her lips, and the only thought that registered in his head was, Whoa. This girl is hot. "What are you looking at?"she asked.

"Neen's! Are you already flirting again?" asked a very annoying person coming up to Nina.

"No!" said the princess, blushing a bit.

"I'm not riding with him! Just give me the address and I'll get a cab." she said and Fabian handed her a slip of paper with the address of his house on it. Patricia leaned in and whispered something to her that Fabian couldn't hear. Nina looked flustered and started stuttering, but Patricia turned to Fabian. "Lay one hand on her and I will personally cut it off." she hissed and then went to go and get a cab.

"Sorry 'bout Trix. She's the closest thing I would let dad get me to be a bodyguard. And as much as I lover her, she can be a little over protective." said Nina getting into the passengers seat. Fabian got in and started driving.

"Um sorry if this is awkward, but do you mind letting me change in the back seat? Apparently I have to look more 'princessy' than what I'm wearing now." she explained and Fabian let her go into the back seat. He tried really hard not to look but was really unsuccessful. First went the shirt, then the jeans. Nina noticed him watching and smiled. "Like the show? Just keep your eyes on the road." she laughed and then blushed. Why is she blushing when I was the one watching her strip? thought Fabian, but he did what he was told.

After about 10 seconds she was back and in a knee length dress that was the deepest blue with golden threads in small flowers. "So did you enjoy the show back there?" she asked smiling and it made Fabian laugh.

"If I were to tell you the truth, then my step mother would have my head." he told her truthfully.

"Why?" she asked.

"Because apparently I'm of a lower class of my family. Its first my step mother, then my 3 step brothers, Jerome, Mick, and Eddie. Then even my idiot adoptive brother, Alfie, is a higher station than me. My sour faced step mother thinks of me as a servant, a servant who she is making help you with anything you want." Fabian explained. "No one would even think about going out with me, much less talk to me."

"I would go out with you." she said. Did I really just say that? Well its true. He's not like any other boy's I've ever met. I like him! thought Nina.

"Um we're here. Welcome to the torture that is my life." said Fabian ushering Princess Nina in. Once they were both in Mrs. Rutter came up and did one of those rich cheek kiss things and started talking ridiculously fast. "How was the ride over here? Was it to your liking? Did this worthless piece of nothing do ok? Would you like to meet the ones I'm proud of? Of course you would! Mick! Jerome! Eddie! The princess is here!" screamed Mrs. Rutter and her 3 boys came running down.

"Hello." said Nina board. What she really wanted to do was go and talk to Fabian more.

"Your even more beautiful than the pictures." said Eddie and Jerome and Mick nodded.

"Ya I bet you'd think that. You 3 are the ones to tack up pictures of her, in everything even close to nothing, up in your rooms." said Alfie, appearing from the kitchen with a cookie in his hands.

"Shut it!" all 3 screeched. Nina, Fabian, and Alfie all started laughing. Nina grabbed Fabian's wrist and pulled him, hoping he would show her to her room. Fabian got the hint and took her to it.

"Thanks. Hey what are you doing after dinner?" asked Nina once they got to her room.

"Cleaning." shrugged Fabian.

"After that, you wouldn't mind helping me unpack right?" she asked.

"Sure ok. Bye." and he left the princess alone.
