Part One

...

Once upon a time, in a far away kingdom, there lived a prosperous king who ruled over a renowned kingdom. King Chris, the king of Wawanakwa, was known for his sadist ways. Most Wawanakwans believed that without their queen, Queen Lena the Kind, the kingdom would have been subject to intolerable tortures. The king had two children, a set of twins. And though they were from the same mother, they were as different as day and night. One, Prince Trent, took after his mother and was kind, loving, and appreciative to the musical arts. The other, Princess Eva, was worse than her father, some claimed. The princess was temperamental, impatient and hotheaded. Prince Trent, the elder one, was protective of his sister, but there was no doubt in his mind that she could take her of herself. Trent and Eva, both of marrying age, began to see suitors. Trent took a fancy to one suitor, Lady Gwen, but wasn't sure if she was right for him. Princess Eva scared off every single suitor who came to visit her.

One day, there was a royal masquerade ball in the neighboring kingdom of Toronto. All the young royals from the region were attending. When Trent and Eva asked their parents if they could attend, King Chris hotly denied them.

"Why dad?" Trent asked.

"Come on, please?" Eva added.

"No!" King Chris answered.

"Why not?" Eva balled up her fists.

"Because I said so!" King Chris stuck his nose up in the air. Chris, along with Lena, was the only person not afraid of Princess Eva.

"Dad!" Trent cried.

"Chris," Queen Lena gently put a hand on his shoulder. "Maybe it's time you tell them..."

"Tell us what?" Eva asked.

King Chris sighed, "Fine... A long time ago, like before my grandparents were born, there was a war between several kingdoms in the region. The Torontans and Wawanakwans were allies in the war, but as it came to close and many of us saw that there was so definite winner, the Torontans backstabbed us and we lost thousands of soldiers. Along with our pride. Since then, Wawanakwans have hated Torontans. Neither of us will step foot in the other's kingdom."

"And both kings are too stupid to mend the patches between the two kingdoms," Queen Lena added.

...

"Dad said we can't go!" Trent told Eva.

"So?" Eva put on her mask. "I'm still going."

"I wanna come!" Trent cried.

"Then get ready," Eva fixed her mask as she looked into the mirror. "My carriage'll be here in a few minutes."

...

"Wow," Trent said in awe. "This place is so nice!"

"They even have a gym for the peasants," Eva added.

"Name, please," the man at the door said.

"Prince Tr-" Eva clamped a hand over Trent's mouth.

"They hate us, remember?" she said, teeth clenched.

"Oh yeah," Trent removed her hand from his face. "We're uh... That lord and lady from that place... With those animals... And the people... And we have, uh..."

"Lord Duncan and Lady Courtney? Why didn't you say so!" the man exclaimed. "Go on in!"

Trent and Eva smiled weakly before walking into the massive castle. The ballroom was full of people in fancy dresses and elaborate masks.

...

The king and queen of Toronto, King Hatchet and Queen Martha, were preparing for the ball as their two children walked into the throne room.

"Momma! Why do I have to go?"

"DJ," King Hatchet started. "You know why. You need a princess. And quick. You aren't getting any younger!"

"I'm only 22!" DJ cried.

Queen Martha looked at her husband, then son, "Just have fun, poopydoo. Okay?"

"And look after your little sister," King Hatchet added. "She's very... impressionable. I don't want her to be taken advantage of."

"I will," DJ nodded. He was about to leave when someone walked into the room.

"Daddy!" a beautiful blonde girl with blue eyes exclaimed.

"Yes, dear?" King Hatchet walked over to her.

"Is our gardener really from outer space?" she asked.

"No, honey, he's not. Who told you that?" Queen Martha asked.

"Why don't you get ready for the ball, Lindsay?" the king added.

"Okay," Lindsay smiled and walked off. DJ followed her.

DJ was very protective over his little sister. She was the apple of every man's eye and wasn't exactly the smartest woman around. Many people tried to take advantage of her, but DJ made sure they didn't. DJ was two years older than Lindsay and was one of her best friends. Though no one spoke of it, Lindsay wasn't DJ's real sister, nor was she royal blood. Someone had left her on the castle's doorstep when she was a few days old and Queen Martha brought her up as her own daughter. Since then, every Torontan has regarded Lindsay as their own princess.

"DJ..." Lindsay started. "Do you think I'll finally meet 'the one', tonight?"

"I don't know," DJ replied. "Maybe you will," he smiled.

...

"This is lame," Eva squashed her punch cup.

"I'm having fun," Trent replied. "This music is awesome."

"You would think so," Eva rolled her eyes.

"What's that supposed to-" Trent stopped mid-sentence, as all eyes, along with his, turned to the beautiful blonde woman with a mask walking down the spiral marble staircase. Behind her was a well-build, handsome man, also wearing a mask. Both looked regal enough to be royalty.

"Whoa..." Trent and Eva said at the same. Behind their masks, their eyes were wide.

The two stepped off the staircase and began to mingle with the crowd surrounding them.

"You think they're the king and queen?" Trent asked his twin.

"Nah," Eva replied. "Too young. Maybe their the prince and princess."

"Does Toronto even have a prince and princess?" Trent asked. Eva shrugged in response.

"There's only one way to find out," Eva started walking towards them.

"Wait! Eva!" Trent called after her.

Eva waited until the two were alone and making their way to the punch bowl. Trent followed her.

"What are we gonna say? Hi, we're the heirs to Wawanakwa. You can kill us if you want," Trent said sarcastically.

"Just follow my lead," Eva whispered.

She walked over to the man and woman and smiled. She curtsied.

"Is that you, your highness?" she asked sweetly.

"Yup! I'm Princess Lindsay," Lindsay replied. "You can't tell because I'm wearing a mask," she whispered.

"And you are?" Eva asked the man.

"Prince DJ... You?" DJ asked Eva.

"Does it really matter?" Eva answered.

"That's a long name!" Lindsay exclaimed.

Eva rolled her eyes.

"Princess Lindsay," Trent kissed her hand, "You look stunning tonight."

"Thanks," Lindsay giggled. "Who are you?"

"I'm her brother," he motioned to Eva.

"Are you two from around here?" DJ eyed Trent suspiciously.

"Nah," Eva answered. "We came a long way to be here tonight."

"So where exactly are you from?" DJ asked her.

"It's all relative, right?" Eva answered.

"I guess so," DJ shrugged.

"Where are you guys from?" Trent asked.

Eva face-palmed.

"Uh... here," DJ answered.

"Oh! You're Torontan!" Trent exclaimed.

DJ nodded, as did Lindsay once she stopped thinking about it.

"Princess Lindsay, may I have this dance?" Trent asked her with his hand out.

Lindsay giggled as she nodded and the two hit the dance floor.

"Wanna dance?" Eva asked as DJ.

"Uh... Sure," DJ answered, a little scared. He led her into a waltz.

As the music came to an end, the four stopped dancing and Trent realized the time.

Trent looked at the clock, "Sis, I think we should get going. It's getting late..."

"Yeah," Eva agreed.

"Wait, so you're leaving?" DJ asked her.

Eva nodded, "It was nice talking to you," she smiled uncharacteristically.

"Don't go!" Lindsay cried as she put a hand on Trent's shoulder. She softened, "Will I see you again?"

Trent sighed, "I don't know..."

The clock struck twelve.

"Wait! What's your name?" DJ asked Eva.

"Yeah, tell us," Lindsay added as she looked to Trent.

Trent sighed, "I don't think it'll hurt, sis."

"We'll tell you," Eva started. "If you promise you won't tell anyone else."

DJ and Lindsay nodded.

"Princess Eva and Prince Trent," Trent told them. He grabbed his sister and the two dashed out.

...

"Do you think I'll see Brent again?" Lindsay asked her brother.

"I don't know. And it was Trent, wasn't it?" DJ asked.

"Oh yeah," Lindsay giggled.

"They said they were a prince and princess..." DJ mused. "It shouldn't be too hard to find them. Just ask around for a set of royal twins named Trent and Eva."

"They're twins? And who would we ask?" Lindsay inquired as she twirled a strand of hair.

"I'm not sure," DJ answered. "I hope we can find them. I wish she left a shoe or something."

"She?" Lindsay's eyes widened. "You like Ava!"

"Yeah, a little," DJ blushed.

"OMG! That's so cool! We can like double date and stuff!" Lindsay exclaimed.

"We have to find them first..." DJ replied.

"Did you like anyone at the ball?" Queen Martha asked her son.

"Yeah," DJ said softly.

"Really? I'm so happy for you!" Queen Martha gushed.

"Is she royalty?" King Hatchet inquired.

"She's a princess," DJ answered.

"Where is she from?" Chef asked.

"I'm not really sure," DJ responded.

"What's she like?" the queen wondered.

"She's... short-tempered, and she's ambitious... And she's dangerous..."

"Dangerous?" Queen Martha asked. "Well, is she pretty?"

"Yup," DJ smiled.

"What happened to your sister?" King Hatchet asked.

"Uh..." DJ looked at his lovesick little sister and then at his father. "She's in love..."

"That's great!" Queen Martha said happily. "She met someone at the ball, too?"

"Yeah," DJ answered. "He's a nice guy," DJ told his father, who then smiled.

"Who is he?" King Hatchet asked.

"The twin brother of Ava," Lindsay replied.

"Ava?" Martha grinned.

"Yeah, her name's Eva, though," DJ corrected. "And her brother's name is Trent."

"When do we get to meet them?" King Hatchet asked.

"I have no idea..." DJ answered.

"We're going away for a few days, Daddy," Lindsay told King Hatchet.

"Where exactly?" he asked.

"Just going to see some friends," DJ answered.

"Don't go anywhere near Wawanakwa," King Hatchet warned.

"Why not?" Lindsay asked.

"Because Torontans hate Wawanakwans," King Hatchet said grimly. "Be careful. And have fun," King Hatchet told them.

...

"She was Princess Lindsay, right?" Trent asked his sister.

"Duh. She said that," Eva deadpanned.

"Well why don't we go back to see her?"

"Because there's a rule about Wawanakwans not being able to set foot in Toronto."

"Well what if we disguise ourselves as Tortontans? We've done it before, we can do it again," Trent replied.

"We'd have to dress up like servants, though," Eva cringed. "They'd spot us out if they knew we we're royalty."

"You wouldn't have to come, sis," Trent told her.

"I kinda wanna... I liked Prince DJ... But don't tell anyone!" Eva threatened.

"Don't worry," Trent assured her.

...

"Only a few days, okay?" Queen Lena told her children. "It's so lonely without you two."

"Okay, mom. We'll come back in a few days," Trent complied.

"I'll miss my babies," Queen Lena blubbered as she hugged Trent and Eva.

"We'll miss you too, mom," Eva sighed as she pulled herself out of the hug.

"Come back soon, okay?" King Chris said. "Your mom will go crazy if you don't."

Trent and Eva waved good-bye to their parents before setting off.

"We've got the castle all to ourselves," Chris grinned at Lena. "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"

Lena rolled her eyes, "Is that all you ever think about, Chris?"
