Author's Note: Yes. A short one. Shocking? (Which rhymes with stocking!!!! Teehee!)Hmm, yes. Cuz I'm the Queen of Neverending Stress (and will be the Queen of the King ofNever Ending Story fans)will they or won't they get together stories. This is based on Princess Present, the short one AKA Princess Diaries 6 ½ ( we all know that 6 hasn't come out yet in the U.S. but they like to confuse us. And no, it doesn't give away any secrets. I read 6 and can honestly say that it gives away NOTHING)

What was Mr. Michael James (the name I think we have all adopted for him) Moscovitz thinking during this story? I'll tell you. (By The Way, I just wanna announce that Mia's first diary entry in said story is MY BIRTHDAY. Ten days of teenager-dom left. Send Presents. Or checks)

I would also like to give a big CONGRATS to my friend Lucie and her new husband, Mr. J. S. (I wouldn't post his name here!) Anyway, their wedding was BEAUTIFUL. The groom's brother's band even played! Gorgeous wedding, gorgeous couple. Join me in wishing them an eternity of bliss.

"Why do you get to wear semi normal clothes?" Lilly demanded from my doorway. I was home for winter break. Which actually lasts until the end on January. So I could, in a way, spend the entire time in Genovia trying to seduce my girlfriend of, get this, a year.

Yes. We have now officially been together for one year and two days. She left on our anniversary so we didn't get to do anything. Not that I really planned on it.

"Because I know how to dress myself for the public," I replied.

"Did you even get her anything for the big anniversary?" she asked, still not stepping into my room.

"She's still freaking out about my Hanukah present. She hasn't even thought about our anniversary."

"But you have, right?" Lilly asked skeptically. "Because you know she'll remember and then totally go crazy and over analyze why you never did anything."

I shrugged. "We'll do something special."

"Have you thought of anything?" she asked, crossing her arms.

"Maybe," I said with a devious smile.

"Sicko."

"Nympho."

SO okay. We are on the private jet that Mia's dad sent over. This is getting really real now. I am going to be spending the holidays (well, not my holidays, but hers) with my girlfriend's family. In a palace. Not too daunting, is it?

"Why do you look like you swallowed a sock?" Lilly asked as we started descending. "I mean, it's just Mia."

"And the rest of her family," I mumbled. "She said something about all the young royals being around? Lilly, I am going to be expected to act all normal around them."

"You act normal around her."

"She's different. I'm in love with her. Plus, she hasn't been voted by the populace as one of the most beautiful people alive."

"That was a shitty thing to say."

"Lilly, I mean, she's going to be surrounded by people who have been. Prince William for example? Hello. She could very well be swept off her feet by him."

She rolled her eyes. "Oh please. She's practically picked out your China."

I smiled and laughed. We wouldn't be married, at least not for a while. I wanna go to school and make sure she does as well. "I'm not looking that far in advance Lilly."

We stayed quiet until after landing. We stood up quietly and grabbed our bags. People grabbed them once we stepped off the plane. Lilly shot them dirty looks until they placed them in the trunk of the car that had been sent for us.

"It's going to be weird," Lilly said, watching the Genovian countryside pass us by.

"What is?" I asked, taking it all in.

"Seeing Mia in this kind of place. To see what she's like outside of New York. When we are the ones out of place and she is the one expected to be around. I dunno, I'm shutting up now."

I laughed, "It's a miracle. Lilly Moscovitz is shutting herself up!"

She punched my arm. "I hate you."

"Love you too," I replied.

"What is going on?" I asked, sticking my head out the window to see hoardes of people standing at the palace gates.

"Tourists, sir," the driver said, glancing in the rearview mirror. "Always around trying to get pictures of the young princess. Since she's not here very often.

We pulled into the property and drove a small distance before I saw her for the first time in four days. She looked…excited.

Lilly got out of the car first and tried not to look too impressed. "This is your house? You live in a house bigger than all the apartments in my building combined." Some guy tried grabbing her messenger bag and she went off on him until Mia calmly explained that it was his job to carry our things.

She hadn't acknowledged me yet. Then again I wasn't going ballistic over her house. So I went up behind her and turned her so I could kiss her. I didn't even care that people were taking our picture. The only people who would be mad knew we kissed. Had even caught us kissing before. Caught us doing a little more than kissing before.

She looked a little dazed after we pulled apart (only because Lilly started making gagging noises). I still got it.

She held my hand as she pointed out key features of the outside of her palace. "That is the Garden of the Virgin," she explained, then turned red. "Um, we won't go there though….right now," she said glancing sheepishly at me. "And over here…"

Yeah. She didn't like talking about anything virginal with me. It'd bring up a conversation that she didn't want to have with me. Unfortunately. But I'm a good boyfriend. A happy one. Just being with her will be fine. For now. But that's a different story all together. We'll talk about it when we planned, next month-ish.
