Tv News live from the royal castle :

"Princess Sofia Carter has in fact gone missing and her country is currently missing their future leader. When will she come home or is she even alive? Her step-mother says that 'the last she saw her was after lunch, but she never showed up for dinner' More coming up after the break".

Far away from the royal palace in Tulsa, Oklahoma 7 boys were preparing to eat dinner while watching the news about Princes Sofia's mysterious disappearance...

"Hey Ponyboy, what's this about a princess?" Two-bit asked.

"I don't know, she's missing and no one can find her and in 6 months she's supposed to be crowned Queen or somethin'."

"So this is a big thing, eh?" Sodapop said, but before Ponyboy could answer, the oldest of the Curtis family yelled "Dinner!", and everyone scrambled to the table to get some food.

It was about 4:30 and the boys were still eating when there was a knock at the door.

"I'll get it" Darry said.

When he opened the door an old man, maybe in his late 60's, wearing fancy clothing was standing there, and next to him was a girl with brown hair pulled up in a bun and had a suit case by her right side. Her head was down like she was looking at her shoes.

"Can I help you?" Darry asked.

"Yeah, this girl, she can't speak, got no voice, no money and is new around here. She needs a place to livenand her profession is a house maid. Congratulations, you've got yourself a new maid", the man said, he looked around the inside of the house and added "you could use her".

"Um, that's nice, but I can't affor-"

"She works for free" the man said, then grabbing the girls arm pulling her closer to him, whispering something in her ear. The girl looked up at Darry and the look on her face showed fear. She was pretty cute he thought. No! Snap out of it! You don't have time for girls, focus on your brothers, don't go saving her and getting your heart broken like last time! Besides, you don't even know why she's here. Darry scolded himself.

"Her name's Alexandria, but most call her Alex", the man said curtly and left in his fancy car leaving a terrified Alex behind.

Great! What are the social workers gonna say! What about the boys! Alex. Darry thought. That's a nice name. This is strange, this is so strange it didn't even make sense to him.

"Come on in and make yourself comfortable", he said. Alex was hesitant at first, in fact she didn't want to come in, but Darry held out his hand and gave a little smile and she got this feeling that she could trust him. She looked him in the eyes and noticed his eyes were ice cold, he was strong, well-built and smelled a bit like after shave and some other sent.

Alex smiled and said, "I have a voice, but that old man just scars me I've never bothered to talk."

"Oh, um. I don't know what to say. Maid?"

"Yes, I work for free in exchange for a place to stay…" Alex trailed off.

"Well, um, do come in" Alex took Darry's hand and walked in the house, it was neat and cozy, it gave you the feeling of being home.

All the boys had finished their dinner and put their plates in the sink and came out into the living room to see what the commotion was. They saw Darry standing next to a pretty girl, in a yellow sun dress wearing black heels.

"Are you his girlfriend, is she a soc!?" A boy with hair so blonde it was almost white asked.

Alex just looked at Darry confused as heck.

"Guys" Darry Said, "This is Alexandria, but you may call her Alex. She is, ahh, our new maid…."

"MAID!" all the boys shouted.
