By: Newsgirl29

Date: Tuesday, December 21 Happy Birthday to Me! (0 days to my birthday, 4 days till Christmas, 11 days till the New Year)

Place: In the air over Genovia, on Genovia One

Dear Diary

This is the first dairy I have ever kept; it was an early birthday gift from my Great Aunt Clarisse Renaldi former Queen of Genovia. I guess I should put my name in here, but as of today my name has changed from Lady Katherine Astrid Misaloe to Katherine Astrid Renaldi Misaloe Grand Duchess of Genovia. Since my first cousin Phillipe died in a car crash six years ago with my parents, then my first cousin Pierre joined the church, that's when my second cousin Mia became heir to the thrown of Genovia. Me being her nearest blood relative, which had not ruled Genovia, of noble birth I came in line to be the next Grand Duchess of Genovia I hope you caught all of that.

As of tonight I will officially take on the tile, when I enter the ballroom at winter palace on my cousin Pierre's arm. The ball tonight is to celebrate my 21 birthday.

Will be landing shortly in the capital city. I should be looking foreword to being home, seeing my friends and family, but I'm not.

The thing is, the last time I was home was for my cousin Mia's "almost" wedding and coronation as Queen. I was one her bridesmaids in her "almost" wedding. Well before when we were in the bride's chamber, I sorta let my mouth get away from me and let her know what I thought of her breaking my best friend' Lord Nicholas (A.K.A. Nicky, but I'm the only person he lets call him that.) Devereaux's heart, to put it simply I did not use a lot of "G" rated words. I felt really bad after words because she did not end up marring duke whats his face and had the laws changed so she could rule with out a husband and did end with Nicholas.

I haven't spoken with her since, I hope she's not mad at me.

Well were about to land, so I need go.

Same Day

Place: The Winter palace

Dear Diary

Wonderful things have happened seance I landed in Genovia.

First when I arrived at the airport. Instead of just the normal bodyguards meeting me. Nicky scared the living day lights out of me when he jumped out from behind the limo and picked me up in to a big hug.

I asked him why does he always have to scare me as a greeting.

He answered Kitten (his nickname for me) I simply loved to hear me scream. Not that I'm shocked or anything that's always been his way. But even still I was very happy to see him it had been over six months since I had see him (even thou we talk at lest once a day ether by cell, vid phone or Instant massager) I missed him.

As we were drove to the winter palace (that is an hour away) Nicky told me that he was going to ask Mia to marry him on Christmas Eve. I told him that was romantic and asked if he had talked to Aunt Clarisse and Mia's mother yet. That was silly, knowing he most likely had. He told me that not only had he talk to them but also to cousin Pierre, Uncle Jo and Mia's step father.

I guess I should tell you how I know Nicky and why he is one of my best friends.

I have know him all my life, we met when I was six months old and he was twenty months old (Just so you'll know that means he is one year older then me.) Are mothers went to school together and when they end up marring men that had neighboring estates. It was a given that their children would earthier marry or kill each other, well as you can tell we have done niter. When his dad died of cancer when Nicky was six and I was five. We did not under stand what was happing, only that we would not see his father again.

Things did change and we grew up as the years went on we became closer. Thou his uncle tried to set us up till are last year of high school.

When my parents died in the car crash with my cousin Phillipe. Nicky was the one who stayed up with me when I could not sleep for two nights. To put in simple terms, he has been the brother I never had or wanted in some cases, but I would never give him up.

When we got to the palace I was nerves to say the lest on how Queen Mia was going to greet me. I ended have nothing to worry about. She even end up thanking me, she said that she would have almost gone threw with it if I hadn't told her that she was brakin his heart and that he did care about her and it was not in him to do anything like that.

Well it's time for me to go down to the ballroom.
