1-Moving On
"How do you do that?" Arianna asked, leaning closer over the table. Courtney smiled back. Ever since Arianna had become Queen, the two had been getting on a lot better than before.
"Do what?" Courtney asked, not knowing what Arianna was talking about.
The two girls were sat outside in the palace garden. It was a bright, sunny day, once again, in the entire town. Arianna couldn't have been happier with her new role and Courtney was just glad to be out of the palace at long last. She never knew that living with her dad could have been so amazing. Well, compared to the palace, the last six weeks had been amazing for her.
"Get Duncan to listen to you." Arianna whined. Her and Eric were...Not a such a happy couple.
"Months of skill." Courtney joked. "Why?"
"I don't think me and Eric are going to be a couple for much longer." Arianna admitted. Their relationship was just going downhill, and fast. They weren't seeing eye-to-eye about things and being apart for so long, since they both had their own country to run, was having a strain on the two of them.
"It's okay, Arianna." Courtney assured her. "Some people just weren't meant to be together." But Arianna couldn't even smile back. The thought of her and Eric not being a couple did upset her. She did love him, but it wasn't going to work, plain and simple.
"You and Duncan were." The blonde said, giving a small smile.
"Yeah." Courtney replied, lowering her head so her dark brunette hair fell over her face, making sure Arianna couldn't see her blushing. "I guess so." Courtney sighed happily, and Arianna couldn't help but giggle at her. "Okay, well, this has been so much fun, but I need to help my dad and Duncan."
"I can't believe your moving." Arianna sighed, and not in a happy way.
"It's gonna be okay." Courtney told Arianna, seeing how upset she was. "We can still talk and I'll come visit." Arianna nodded her head solomly.
"But it won't be the same..." Courtney tried to smile as she placed her hand on top of Arianna's.
"No, it'll be better." She told her cousin. "We won't have arguments everyday over who'll set the table for dinner." Courtney persuaded and Arianna laughed at her.
Courtney and the rest of the gang had decided they had, had enough of Scarlatina. They were all moving back to Earth so that they could finish off their education in a normal place. They new the consequences, but all decided it would be best for everyone.
"I'm gonna miss you." She said, leaning closer to Courtney, pulling her into a tight hug.
"I'm gonna miss you, too." Courtney told her cousin. "But I'm not leaving yet, anyway."
"You're leaving now to go help your dad and fiancee, so shoo, shoo, go, go." Courtney laughed, jumping up from the table.
"I'll see you later." Courtney said, pulling Arianna into another hug, before running off down the garden, and disappearing at the gates.
Duncan and Mr. Black were supposed to be moving all the packed up boxes into the car, ready for the Journey back to Earth. However, when Courtney arrived at the house, Duncan was lying down, shirtless, on her garden wall.
"Where have you been?" He asked, not even openeing his eyes to look at Courtney.
"Keeping tabs on me now?" She asked, picking up a box and dropping it on Duncan's bare chest, one to cause pain and two so she wouldn't get distarcted from carrying the boxes from the house along side him.
"I wanted to know why I was made to do all the heavy lifting." He asked, taking the box in his hands and following Courtney over to the car.
"Wasn't my dad supposed to help you?" Courtney asked, climbing up so she was sitting on top of the car roof.
"Oh yeah, a load of help he's been." Duncan replied, placing the box in the back of the car. He wasn't sounding too happy about Nigel's help. "Yeah, he ditched me about an hour ago to go watch TV."
Courtney burst into a fit of laughter on top of the heap of metal, making a few passers by laugh at her. Although, ever since she had moved back in with her dad, people had been staring at her, anyway. Being an ex-Princess wasn't worth it in her mind, but as long as she was out of the palace, she didn't care.
"I told you we should have packed the TV first." Courtney told him. Duncan jumped from the floor onto the roof in one swift jump, making Courtney fall off the side because she hadn't been expecting it.
"And then how would I watch the football match tonight?" Duncn asked, jumping back to the floor, helping his fiancee up off of the floor. Courtney shot him a cold look, falling from the top of the car had hurt.
"Don't you have a TV in your own house?" She asked. Duncan hadn't moved in with Courtney and Mr. Black, he just spent all of his time there with the two. Nigel didn't mind, he was rarely home, anyway. And Courtney was glad she was finally getting some alone time with him.
"Probably..." Duncan replied, thinking if he actually did. "But Phoebe hogs it, so I've never noticed it before." Courtney smiled, nudging him in the shoulder as she walked back to the house to fetch another box.
"I can't believe we're doing this..." Bridgette said, thinking deeply about what she was getting herself into. It was a good thing her parents were letting her venture off back to Earth with only her friends, otherwise she would have been stuck in Scarlatina all alone.
"You want to, don't you?" Geoff asked, makig sure his girlfriend was up for it.
The two were in Bridgette's bedroom, packing up all of her things, ready for the move. They had spent the day packing up Geoff's things, and saying their goodbyes to his family. Ellie was quite upset that her big brother wasn't going to be around anymore, but he told her she was always welcome to visit, which had just made her jump up and down on the spot, squealing as loudly as she could.
"Yeah, I'd love to have done this ages ago." Bridgette admitted, selaing up the last box.
Geoff got up from the bed and wrapped his arms around Bridgette's waist from behind. He lightly bit down on her ear, making a bright smile emerge on her face.
"Then stop saying you can't believe it." He whispered. "This is a good dream to have in your mind, and we're putting it into action." Bridgette's smile lit up even more.
Leah and Taylor were up in Leah's bedroom, packing up her belongings before the big move. It had originally been Leah's idea to move to Earth. She was going back to Earth to be with her father. He was human, so he wasn't allowed in Scarlatina, and her mother thought the two needed some 'bonding time' together.
Once everyone had heard of Leah's plan, they all decided Earth was a much better place to be. Scarlatina was a fun place, but boring to stay in one place for so long. They would have all moved before, but they weren't prepared to leave Courtney behind, and she had been cooped up in the palace.
"Do you think we should be doing this?" Taylor asked. She wasn't one hundred percent set on the whole idea.
"Are you scared Taylor?" Leah questioned. Taylor was offended. Of course she wasn't scared. Taylor was afraid of nothing. NOTHING!
"NO!" Taylor yelled, looking up from her box that she was packing. "I am not afraid of anything!"
"Well, the Taylor I knew, when we first met, was fearless." Leah said, taking a step towards her best friend. It was true, though. When Taylor and Leah had first met, Taylor was fearless. She hadn't been afraid of anything. "I guess that's not the same Taylor I know, now."
"I AM FEARLESS!" Taylor shouted at Leah.
"Then yes, I think we should be doing this." Leah answered, going back to her packing. She knew that would have worked on Taylor.
