Chapter 1: The Dungeon

Queen ... well ex-queen Ariana spent three weeks in the Apollonian Castle Dungeon. Her schemes failed epicly, trying to poison the royal family with sunset herb. Trying to get rid of Ro, because Prince Antonio, was falling in love with her instead of her daughter, Princess Luciana. Paying someone to make sure she didn't come back, and end up having dolphins save them. She hated that Ro ... or as she called her The Island Girl could tall with animals.

Ariana hated that her plains were foiled because of a uncivilized island girl. She hated now, Princess Rosella, she hated Antonio. She hated her daughter for helping them and turning on her. She hated the king and queen for banishing her and her family to a pig farm. She hated everyone that stood in her way of ruling! She wished them all dead!

Now she was stuck in a wet, dark, dirty dungeon for treason, attempted murder and bribes. She was thinking on how to get out and eliminate them once and for all. But, how? She couldn't get out, she needed help. But from who?

Everyone knew who she was and what she did! No one, except a another villain would free her, but as far as she knew all the villains were in the dungeon themselves. So who was going to help her?

She thought back to what she could have done different. She could've been sneaker in putting the sunset herb. She could have to not told her daughter not to eat. That was the icing on the cake. She could have got rid of Ro herself.

Ariana wanted to be ruler of two kingdoms. More power. More alliances. More of everything. And no one could have stopped her. It was foolproof, until Ro came along.

This time she had something special for Ro. Something that would be a statement to her and everyone else. And something special for Queen Danielle and King Peter. Prince Antonio.

Her pet rats, Nat, Pat, Mat came jumping down the dungeon stairs. They tried to get cheese, but they almost got killed by the chef. But, thanks to a naive little bird, gave them rose tonic, so now they were going to help their mistress get out.

The rats came down the stairwell and right up to Ariana's cell. She turned and saw them.

"Oh, my pet rats have you come to help me?" She asked them as nodded. "Good, now go find someone who will help me out. And you will be repaid with cheese."

Nat looked at the others. "Is she serious? Come on, the last time she said that all we got a few tiny pieces of cheese."

Pat crossed his arm. "No way! I ain't doing it! I vowed to be only used for good.

Mat put his hand on Pat and Nat the motioned him eating cheese. As far as anyone knew, Mat didn't talk, he just pantomimed everything.

"No Mat! Don't you see! It's trap!" Pat told him.

Ariana relized that maybe they didn't want to do it because of last time. Even though she sounded crazy, it was a high possibility. "Come one my pets, this time I will give you all the cheese you can eat!"

Mat jumped up and down then clapped his paws. He wanted to help, he wanted food! And if it met trusting her, then so be it. They all said okay.

The rats saluted her and ran off to find someone to help. They were going to get their mistress out, even if it met getting their paws dirty.

Ariana was grinning ear to ear. She gave a evil laugh. Now, all she ad to do was think up a evil way. She was going to be free and soon rule.

Way above the dungeon, in the conference room. King Peter, Queen Danielle, Prince Antonio, Princess Rosella, Queen Marissa, Princess Luciana and her beau Henry, and the triple princesses Rita, Gina and Sophia. Talking about an invite to Prussia to make them an alliance in the small kingdom.

"Oh Antonio, this is wonderful." Danielle beamed with joy. "Having another alliance to a small yet strong empire. Their very powerful."

"Prussia? Where is that?" Rosella whispered to her husband.

"Prussia is a small sea front kingdom wedged in between Russia and Germany." Antonio told her.

"Isn't Prussia cold?" Marissa asked shuttering at the thought.

"No this time, the czar and czarina asked us to go." Peter stated sitting down.

"Prussia is so wonderful." Luciana added as Henry held her hand. Henry and Luciana have been dating since the wedding.

"Yes, I was their one time on business. It's bigger than it appears on the map." Henry said with a smile. "The people are warm and nice. Your greeted by everyone no matter how you were.?

"So, what will we be doing in Prussia?" Rosella asked messing with a small azure blue island flower necklace, that her Father gave her when she was younger. Her mother gave it to her when she came back from their honeymoon.

"Well, we'll be meeting the czar and czarina. They want us to get to know them and hopefully decide to be alliances with them. And for their oldest son's wedding too." Antonio explained to them.

"Can I bring Tika, Azul and Sagi too?" Rosella whispered to Antonio. He nodded.

"I don't see why not, Mother's being Tallulah along." Antonio smiled at his wife.

"Oh, but Peter, who's going to hold down the kingdom?" Danielle asked the king.

Peter thought about it for a minute. "I'll have Viscount William and Viscountess Leona watch over the kingdom."

"Will they be trust worthy? I don't want something happening again like it did with my Mother." Luciana implied smoothing at her dress.

"Yes, I've had them do it before when Antonio was younger." Peter reassured her.

"I wonder who else will be there to?" Asked Marissa.

Danielle smiled. "Well, I know your cousin once removed will be there. He got his letter before us and he sent a letter. That's all I know will be there."

Antonio thought back to the time they'd play together. Adventure by ship and fly ... er fly as in kites. Reading books and acting like kids do.

"And Ro, I think you'll get along with the czarevna. You to have a lot in common." Peter said. He was growing fonder and fonder of Rosella every week. He saw even though she could tall to animals she was all right.

"Really? Like what?" Rosella asked puzzled.

Danielle smiled at her daughter-in-law. "You'll find out when we go. If only we both would have thought about her when we met you, we wouldn't have been so quick to judge."

"Daddy? Will their be kids of our age their too!" Rita asked as Gina and Sophia nodded their heads.

Peter looked at his daughters. "Yes there are, why wouldn't their be. I mean, they're a big family."

Now Ro was even more confused. More like her? What could that mean? She grew up on and island? She could tall to animals? Whatever it is she'd just have to wait and find out.

"Well be leaving first thing in the morning, so get bags packed tonight so we can get their before lunch. Who doesn't want a delicious Prussian meal." Peter said walked out of the room, followed by Danielle and the three little princesses.

Luciana and Henry took off right after them. Henry had a special date prepared for Luciana and him. He loved her with all his heart. And she loved him with all her heart. It didn't matter if he wasn't royalty, as long as he was her true love and cared for her.

Queen Marissa got up and kissed her daughter on the head. "Thanks goodness in all packed up. I'll see you later at super. Love you." Marissa smiled at her daughter.

"Love you Mom." Ro got up out of her chair. "Antonio?" She asked in her quite polite tone.

Antonio looked at his wife. "Yes, Ro." He replied with a smile.

"What does the czarevna have in common with me?" Antonio looked at Ro when she asked her question.

He put his at around her. "Ro, if I were to tell you there wouldn't be any surprise about it." Antonio kissed her. "But, its something good about you."

They went off to start packing for the journey to Prussia. It was going to be a long boat ride to Prussia.

First off I would like to dedicate this story to Imagee. Thanks to her for giving my song fic, Ever Ever After Diamond Castle a wonderful review and cheering me up when I was going to stop. A true friend. So, this is dedicated to you. Hope you like it.

1: Can anyone guess who the mystery once removed cousin is?

2: Can anyone guess what the czarevna and Ro have in common?

3: Can anyone else guess who else is going to be there from the other Barbie movies?

And please label you answers with 1, 2, and 3 so I can decipher between them.

I hoped you like it. I had fun writing it. So please review. That's just the first part of this fan fic. I will have many more coming soon, I was thinking 25 or so, but of course many Barbie movies will be crossing over. Ain't gonna tell you what they are, so you'll have to find out.

And yes, I will have my own characters in the empire of Prussia. And I know its not historical accurate, i know Prussia was ruled by kings, but i like Czars much better. Even thought it is on the boarded of Russia. And I think it suits the story. And who cares anyway, its just a story met to be enjoyed.

So I hope you really liked it! I will make Ariana a villain you'll love to hate (as some say). She's going to be real wicked *evil laughes*. And don't worry, there'll be a new villain and old ones combining.

AND PLEASE REVIEW! NO FLAMES PLEASE! I WANT TO KNOW WHAT YOU THINKS.
