Eddie
I was busy getting spiffed up, as I like to call it, by my friend Fabian. He's very classy, so he helped me dress for tonight. "Excited?" He asks.
"You could say that..." I chuckle. "What about you? I know you've got your eye on that one caramel-haired girl..." He begins to blush a bit.
"You mean Nina? She's very nice, and besides, we're just friends... From what she's told me she's a friend of Princess Patricia's..."
"And she's not a snob?" I ask.
"Uh-no! Jeesh Eddie, just because they're royals doesn't mean their snobs..." He scolds.
"Ugh, you sound like my father..." I groan.
"Yeah, well, could your father get you looking this nice?" He asks, turning me to face a mirror. My hair is combed to the side, looking a bit more brown then blonde. I am dressed in a black tux, with a navy undershirt, and a black tie. My leather dress shoes are shined, and I am ready to go.
"He-llo handsome!" I joke. "No, thanks man... Really, I appreciate it."
"It's alright. We better get going, anyways..." He suggests.
"Don't forget your mask." I remind him, as we both grab our masks. Mine black to match my suit, and his white to match his. I gulped nervously, taking a look in the mirror, and then following Fabian down outside, to the limousine.
Patricia
"So... Are you excited?" My stylist, Amber, asks. She's only about a year older than me, if that, but somehow still made it here.
"I guess... Nothing really to look forward too though..." I mutter.
"Oh come on, it's your birthday... There's always something to look forward to on your birthday." I roll my eyes and smile. I am dressed in a deep blue high-low dress, that flows at the bottom. It starts as navy at the top, and makes it way down to black. For jewelry I wear a black rose stud earring, and another small black pearl in my right ear. Left ear- nothing. Amber is doing my hair, as Nina, Piper's stylist, does hers.
"Not really... Just a bunch of snobby rich people."
"You know, some people consider you as one of those snobby rich people." She counters.
"Well they can think whatever they want. I honestly don't give a damn." I smirk, staring as Amber finishes up my hair. She then moves onto makeup, focusing more on my cheeks and lips. She does light mascara, then slips my mask over my head. A black mask, with deep blue to match my dress. "Let me guess, custom made?"
"Only for you." She smiles.
"You about ready Pipes?" I ask, turning to Piper. She is wearing a knee-length dark purple strapless dress. "You look great!" I exclaim.
"I could say the same Pattycakes." She teases, pulling a curl.
"I'm gonna go get my purse, and then we can all go..." Nina mutters, grabbing her ivory clutch, to match her green dress. Amber wears a bright pink, halter dress, and about 5-inch heels. I don't know how she doesn't trip... "Got it! We ready?"
"As I'll ever be..." I mutter, while Amber smirks.
"Is Joy coming?" She asks.
"Of course, she should be coming any-"
"Hey guys!" Joy chimes, walking through the doors.
"-now." I laugh. Nina smiles. "So... Nina... What's going on with you and Fabian then?" I tease. She blushes.
"Nothing-"
"As of right now." Joy jokes. She used to like Fabian, but moved on about last year. She now has a boyfriend- Jerome. He's nice, very tall. I told him if he hurt her he'd regret it. I smirk at the thought. (Even though he's one of my many bodyguards.)
"Yeah, I'm not sure... How about you and Alfie then?" She retorts, shooting a question at Amber. She just smiles.
"Oh my Alfie-boo? He's great!" She exclaims. Once again, another one of my bodyguards...
"Princessa! I hate to cut it short, but you are wanted!" A voice calls. One of my bodyguards, Mick. I sigh.
"We're coming!" I sigh. They look at me sympathetically. "Let's get this over with..." We walk out of my bedroom, and down to the great hall of the palace, where everyone awaits. As I walk past, everyone bows and curtsies. I walk up to where my mum and Piper are, taking a seat. We begin to eat, and my mum toast:
"I would like to thank you all for coming, and to dedicate this dinner to my much-loved daughters, Piper and Patrizia!" Everyone cheers, whilst I just roll my eyes. Always trying to brag about us. Of course, she calls Piper by her actual name...
Supper goes fairly well. As far as I'm concerned, I used my proper table manners, and no one did anything explicit. I play with the hem of my skirt, and sigh. "If only I could be normal for one day..." I sigh. A boy in a black mask and blue and black tux catches my eye, but then walks off. I sit there pondering, wondering what to do for the rest of the night.
Sorry if its a bit of a filler... But excitement happens next chapter! Spoiler: Eddie and Patricia meet!And no, Patricia does not like switch lives with a normal girl or anything... Warning: this story is like a major girly story! Just saying! I've always wanted to write one of these... Plus, it's AU which I think is great experience for me;) Let me know what ya think by reviewing :3
