Summary: This story takes place after Mia gets home from Genovia. Michael broke up with her the day before she left. Now that she's home he's starting to realize that he made a mistake. Then he introduces Mia to his new friend Devin. This story switches back and forth from Michael and Mia's points of view. I decided to make Michael a year younger than what he is in the books, so instead of going to college he's a senior. Mia and Lilly are both sophmores.
A/N: Okay, before I decided to use Epiphany title for the story I looked it up, and here's the definition.
Epiphany- a flash of insight, an experiance that brings this about.

Epiphany
your words to me just a whisper
your face is so unclear
I tried to pay attention
your words just disappear
cuz it's always raining in my head
forget all those things
I should have said
So I speak to you in riddles
my words get in my way
I smoke the whole thing to my head
and feel it wash away
cuz I can't take any more of this
I wanna come apart
or dig myself a little hole
inside your presious heart
cuz it's always raining in my head
forget all those things I should have said
I'm nothing more than a little boy inside
that cries out for attention
thought I aways try to hide
and I talk to you like children
but I don' tknow how I feel
but I know I'll do the right thing
if the right thing is revealed
but it's always raining in my head
forget all the things I should have said
Chapter One: Epiphany
Mia's point of view:
I'm nervous! I'm on an airplane coming home from Genovia after my first summer since I found out I was a princess. That's not the reason I'm nervous, the reason that I'm nervous is probley sitting in the terminal right now, considering we should be landing in about fifteen minutes. The reason that I'm nervous is because when I get off this plane my Mom and Step-Dad Frank; my new brother Dalton Frank and my new sister Tatem Michelle (they are twins); my best friend Lilly; and her brother who just happens to be my ex-boyfriend, Michael who is the whole reason that I'm freaking out about coming home; will be waiting. See, I dated Michael for about 7 months then, the day before I went to Genvoia for the summer he broke up with me! Strangely, we got together the day before I went to Genovia before Christmas... I since a pattern. Still yet, I remeber that evening clearly.
Michael and I went to out to the movies, on Friday night...though I can remeber the evening clearly I don't remember what we went to see, maybe The New Guy? Anyway, we made out the whole time. Then like we usually did, we went to Round the Clock for pancakes, we both love pancakes. I thought that we had a great relationship and was completly oblivous to what was about to happen. Then, he told me, "Mia I've been thinking a lot lately."
"About what?" I asked, still not catching on.
"About our relationship, about the fact that you'll be going to Genovia soon and I'll be here. I just don't think things will work out." he said.
"What do you mean? I'm not going to Genovia forever." At that point I was starting to catch on to what was happening.
"I know that you'll be back, but two months is a long time. Long distant relationships never work." Michael said.
"Are you breaking up with me?" I said dumbfounded, I was also trying to fight back tears.
"Mia, I just don't think it will work out." he said. "I would rather break up now and possibly salvage our friendship, then break up later and us hate each other."
"Michael I love you." It's to late to hold the tears they are flowing like a waterfall.
"Mia, please don't cry, your breaking my heart." he said, I could see the pain in his eyes too.
"Well, it's to late to save my heart from breaking." I said. That's the last thing that I have actually said to him. I got a few e-mails from him. He sent me alot of e-cards that he made. I know that he too was trying to cheer me up.
The whole time I was in Genovia, Grandmere tried to cheer me up too. She had a bunch of balls, state dinners, she took me shopping and actually bought me some cool cloths. She even gave me time to lay on the beach and do yoga. I spent alot of time in my room (which is the size of the loft) crying. Theres a plus to this trip too, I no longer look like a qutip! I have alburn high-lights now. Then there's the fact that I'm now a 34 b...in bra size. Which that started to happen right before I went to Genovia. I'm actually beganing to feel good about myself.
The plane just landed...here goes nothing.
Michael's P.o.V:
Okay, here we are standing in the terminal of the airport. Mia's plane should be here anytime. I'm shaking, I don't know how to react to seeing her. The last time I seen her was the night I broke up with her and the last words we spoke was her reminding me that I had broken her heart. I was such an ass. I have been miserable since that night. I hardly sleep, when I do I dream about her. I actually have nightmares about how sad her eyes looked the last time I seen her. I begged Lilly not to make me come, she tried to phsyco-annalize me. She said that I'm afraid of confrontation. My sister has also told Mia the same thing...weird. Anway, she said that I'm afraid that Mia is going to get off the plane and be happy and have another boyfriend in Genovia. If Mia has a boyfriend then I think it's great. Who the hell am I kidding, I don't want her with anyone but me!
Oh My God! Here she comes and she looks beautiful! I almost didn't recongnize her. She's grew her hair out, it's long in the fount, well it hangs to about her chin, and the back is all spiky. She's got alburn high lites instead of blond. She's a hot red head! And more, she has on make up! She looks hot in what she's wearing too, I never thought I would see Mia dressed the way she is. She's wearing a pair of jeans with holes in the knees a white spaghetti straped tank top it's got a rubber duck on it, she has on flip-flops. Mia never would wear them before because they showed her feet, and she hates her feet. She must have had time to go to the beach she's got a tan. Then as she came closer to us, that's when I noticed it Mia's got a shaply figure. God she looks so hot....really....really hot! I noticed something silver flash as the lites hit it. When she came up to us I noticed that she was wearing a necklace I had given her. It was silver with a 'T' on it. 'T' ofcorse for Thermopolis.
Once she was done hugging her mom and shaking Mr. G's hand she came up to Lilly and me. Ofcourse she hugged Lilly before hugging her ex-asshole.
"Hey Thermopolis." I said. I still can't call her by her first name, to her face anyway.
"Hey Michael," she smiled. "I missed you." she hugged me. I could feel her soft skin against mine (I'm wearing a wifebeater) I could smell a light fragrence of lavender. She always smelt like it. I hope that she could feel me trembling.
"We missed you too." Lilly smiled, then hugged her again. "I love your hair."
"Thanks." Mia smiled.
Mia's P.o.V:
He keeps stairing at me. Could he feel me trembling when he hugged me? I hope he couldn't, cause if he felt me trembling then he can see straight through me and see the I'm still in love with him.
Michael looks so good, and he smelt so good. He's dressed in a pair of baggy Jinco jeans, and a black belt with those crome squares around it, black Converses, and a wifebeater. I can see his six pack through is shirt. Arhhhh! I want to scream so bad! It's all I can do do keep from kissing him. I want to kiss him soooo bad! "Do you have any plans for tonight?" Lilly asked.
"No, she doens't." Mom said for me. "And she can spend the night." Great! She's already trying to get read of me.
"I need to un-pack before I can do anything. Besides, I have gifts for all of you all." I smiled.
"Well, I'll help you un-pack...Michael can supervise." Lilly said.
"Okay." I smiled. I can handle a night at the Moscovitz's just as long as Michael can refrain from walking around half dressed. Which I know that won't happen.
After getting my suite cases and Lars's suite cases we got into the limo and headed back to the loft. As soon as we went in Fat Louie made a dash for me. We'll Fat Louie doesn't exactly dash because well, he's fat! So he made his way as fast as his chubby little legs would carry him. I picked him up and carried him up to my room. I was followed by Mr. G, and Michael who insisted on carrying my suite cases. Lilly helped mom with Tatem and Dalton. I was orignally going to do that but Lilly gave me that evil look and said she could manage.
"What do you have in there?" Michael asked. "Bricks?"
"Ofcourse, where would a girl be with out her bricks." I smiled.
"Be careful with that one. It has everyone's gifts in it." I said. I grabbed the handle of the bag. Michael's hand brushed against mine. It was like fire coursing up my arm. I could tell by the look in his eyes that he felt it too.
He let it go and I layed it on the bed. I opened the bag and began to search through them. "Here, this one is for you." I handed him his gift.
"You didn't have to." he said.
"Michael, we are still friends, we have been as long as I can remember. Just open it." I said.
You should have seen his face when he seen what it was he was like a kid in a candy store when he saw the entire second season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer on DvD. He was looking it over when, when he fliped it over he saw a recipt taped to the back. "What's this?" he asked pointing to it.
"Oh, that's the recepit to a Flying 'V' guitar. I was going to get you a Gibson Les Paul. The guy at the shop in Genovia said that Gibsons were hard to keep in tune and were extreamly heavy. He said that the Flying 'V' in his opinion was the best guitar." I explained. "It will be delivered to you house tommorow."
"I can't except it." he said.
"I insist that you keep it. Your guitar is cheap and you have had to have it fixed too many times. I wanted to get you something that would last you a while." I explained.
"Thermopolis, It's too much." he said.
"I bought it on sale, it can't be returned." I lied.
"Thanks Thermopolis." he hugged me tightly.
Lilly, who had just gotten finished helping Mom with the twins walked in. "Here, present." I said.
"Oh, thank you," Lilly opened it."blank video tapes, I needed those."
"Flip it over." I said. Taped to the other side was the recipt for a new camra. One that was nicer than the one she had. "Mia, you shouldn't have." Lilly hugged me.
"Yeah, well, I wanted too. You needed it, it's the lest I can contribute to Lilly Tells It Like It Is." I smiled.
Michael's P.o.V.
Why did I break up with her? Mia is so sweet a generous. She paid $2,000 dollars for me a guitar....a Flying 'V' to beat it all. That's like the best guitar ever made! I was horrible to her and broke up with her the day before she went to Genovia for the summer, and she bought me a Flying 'V' and the 2nd season of Buffy on DvD. I don't know why she does things like this. I don't deserve them, or to have her for a friend for that matter. I hate myself right now.
She looks so pretty, she and Lilly are unpacking her cloths. I'm setting in her rocking chair supervising. Of Course noting the new wardrobe she's brought back with her. I don't know what's changed about her. It's like she has this new found confidence in herself, but she's still the same Mia. Like her new cloths, she never would have wore a spaghetti straped shirt before, not without something over it. I counted seven that they hung up. Then, theres the fact that she's wearing flip-flops. She wouldn't wear them before because she hates her feet. Now she's baring her feet and even has a pedicure, her toe nails are blue with little pink hearts. It's so cute!
After she got all of her things put away she packed an over night back and we left. When we got back home Pavlov, excited to see Mia jumped all over her until she petted him. A few minutes after that someone knocked on the door. I went to answer it leaving Mia and Lilly to talk. It was Devin Shepard, his family just moved into the building at the begining of the summer and we became friends. "Hey, what's goin' on?" he asked.
"Nothing, much just got back from the airport." I said, "Lilly and I went to get Mia Thermopolis with her family." I said.
"That princess chick?" Devin asked.
"Yeah, " I said. "She's an awesome person. Come on, I'll introduce you."
Mia's P.o.V.
Lilly and I were setting in her room chatting. "I'm glad you and Boris are still together." I said.
"I wish you and Michael were. You too were so great together." Lilly said, I could tell she was disappointed.
"I wish we were still together too. If it was up to me, we still would be. He broke up with me, remember that." I said.
"I think he knows he made a mistake. He's been an insomniac this summer. Mom and Dad are worried about him. He barrly sleeps, he hardly ever leaves his room. He spends most of his time playing his guitar. He doens't stop until his fingers bleed, I swear his guitar strings and his pick guard (A/N: the white piece of plastic on the front of a guitar. It keeps the pick from scratching the guitar.) are blood stained. Every song he plays is sad." Lilly said.
"I missed him too. I nearly drove Grandmere crazy, any free moment I had I spent in the gardens, or on the beach. I also spent alot of time brooding in my bedroom. When I wasn't doing that, attempting to sleep, shoping, or doing yoga I had my royal duties to preform. There was so many royal balls and state dinners they nearly drove myself crazy. Then I had to go to mass on Sunday, and I had to go to confession." I said.
"Sounds like fun. Did you tell your Grandmere that you didn't support ogranized religion?"
"Yeah, I tried to explain that I belived in body and soul, she didn't buy it. That's one of the reasons that she started making me go to confession."
"Your kidding."
"No, and I'm still not completly forgive either. I mean you would think that going to confession every Sunday and Thrusday for two months you, would would get all of your sins out. I didn't, I guess that's what you can expect from a girl who dates a Jewish musician."
"So, you still have things in your closet huh?"
"Yeah, my closet's still pretty full actually. I didn't even get to get into the really interseting things." I laughed.
Before I could tell Lily anymore the door opened and Michael came in with some guy that I didn't know. He was cute, he had spiked brown hair with blond tips, blue eyes, he was tall and skinny. "Hey Thermopolis, this is Devin Shepard, Devin this is Mia Thermopolis." Michael introduced us.
"It's nice to meet you." I smiled.
"So, do the two of you wanna go with us and cause trouble at the park?" Michael asked.
"I don't know about causing trouble, but I would like to go lay under a tree and get some sun." I said, "I need to call Lars first though."
"Who's Lars? Your boyfriend?" Devin asked.
"No, Lars is her nearlly 300 bls, all muscle clad, Nortic bodyguard." Michael said. Devin's eyes got alittle big. "Don't worry, he's cool."
"You have to have a bodygaurd?" Devin asked.
"Yeah, only when I'm out in public though. Lars is cool thought, he lets me do pretty much anything I want." I said.
"Does he have to follow you on like, dates too?" Devin asked.
"Yeah, but he never sets with me and Mi-who ever I'm on the date with." okay Themopolis, that's not cool. Now Michael probley knows that I'm still in love with him.
"You have no privacy."
"That's old news, I haven't had any privacy in the past year. Just about everything I do is on the cover of a tabloid." I said.
I hope that Michael didn't notice that!

"So, you still have things in your closet huh?"
"Yeah, my closet's still pretty full actually. I didn't even get to get into the really interseting things." I laughed.
Before I could tell Lily anymore the door opened and Michael came in with some guy that I didn't know. He was cute, he had spiked brown hair with blond tips, blue eyes, he was tall and skinny. "Hey Thermopolis, this is Devin Shepard, Devin this is Mia Thermopolis." Michael introduced us.
"It's nice to meet you." I smiled.
"So, do the two of you wanna go with us and cause trouble at the park?" Michael asked.
"I don't know about causing trouble, but I would like to go lay under a tree and get some sun." I said, "I need to call Lars first though."
"Who's Lars? Your boyfriend?" Devin asked.
"No, Lars is her nearlly 300 bls, all muscle clad, Nortic bodyguard." Michael said. Devin's eyes got alittle big. "Don't worry, he's cool."
"You have to have a bodygaurd?" Devin asked.
"Yeah, only when I'm out in public though. Lars is cool thought, he lets me do pretty much anything I want." I said.
"Does he have to follow you on like, dates too?" Devin asked.
"Yeah, but he never sets with me and Mi-who ever I'm on the date with." okay Themopolis, that's not cool. Now Michael probley knows that I'm still in love with him.
"You have no privacy."
"That's old news, I haven't had any privacy in the past year. Just about everything I do is on the cover of a tabloid." I said.
I hope that Michael didn't notice that!
