A/N This is my very experimental story idea. I have been kicking around the idea of retelling the original three-part story arc that introduced us to the romance between Elizabeth and Laurent. This means that the story is going to follow the books quite closely. I am hoping to explore the sexual undertones of this story, so there will be sex in the story in not so distant chapters. So this story will become rated "R" in the second chapters and beyond. So please read, review and enjoy

A/N This story is focused completely on the Elizabeth/ Laurent part of the story. I am writing in the first person for Elizabeth and in the third person for Laurent. So hopefully I won't confuse people too much.

Chapter 1

I laid my head against the plane's window and watched the town I grew up quickly disappear before my very eyes. I still can't believe that Todd would break up with me like that, no warning obviously giving no thought to my feelings. I felt the tears starting to burn behind my eyes.

"Liz, please don't start crying on me again." Jessica begged me. I sniffed and brushed my hand over my eyes. "Here," she handed me a tissue.

"Thanks, Jess. I can't help it. He was such an asshole to me. Do you want to know what his last words were to me?"

"What did the jerk say?"

"He wanted to break for the summer and then reevaluate our relationship at the end of the summer. I told him, what if I don't come back to Sweet Valley? His answer? Well, then that's a risk I'm just going to take. "

"Liz the best thing to do is to just try and forget about him. We are beginning a new adventure. Now, when the hotties in France look in our direction, you will have nothing holding you back. Now just forget Mr. Todd Wilkins."

I cracked a weak smile. "Todd who?"

Jessica had finally fallen asleep, allowing me the peace and quiet to stare absently out of the window. I sighed. It wasn't doing me any good to dwell on Todd. I pulled out my copy of "The Babysitter's Guide to Children", yawning I opened the book to the chapter that was on six year olds. Six year olds can be a handful... The words blurred together and I gave up all chances of reading and gave into the sleep.

Flowers, I was surrounded by flowers, nothing but forest and wildflowers. I walked through the field enjoying the fragrance and the warm sunshine caressing my skin. I stopped walking and glanced around, I realized that I was lost in flowers. I glanced up at the sky and saw that the sunshine was rapidly fading and gray storm clouds came quickly upon me. I turned around and out of the forest this gorgeous guy with jet black hair and deep blue eyes on a white horse, rode up to be, the look in his eyes made me feel things that I had never felt before. He lifted me up onto his horse and wrapped arms around me....

I awoke to Jessica digging through my backpack. Jessica looked up at me with an apologetic smile. "Sorry for waking you Liz, I was just getting your French-English dictionary."

"It's fine." I sighed. The guy with the amazing eyes faded into the back of my mind. Unfortunately I already found out that my prince was really a frog in disguise.
