Finally, one of the guards said, "Wake up Princess, we're there." I shook my head and stood up. I concentrated and changed my body to that of a human girl's. I walked out of the ship with my bags. It was still light outside, but no one was outside. The guards escorted me to Mr. Smith's house. "Ok, bye", I said waving them away. I watched as they flew off and then turned back to the door. I took a deep breath and knocked on the door. I looked down at my outfit. "Why didn't the advisor tell me I looked preppy", I said. I had on a tight, light blue vest with a white collar shirt and a light blue pleated skirt. I had on white tights and high top sneakers. I pulled my long, brown hair back into a ponytail. I looked back up as the door opened.
A short man opened it and I looked at him. He was up to my chest. "Hello, you're highness, Miantra", he said doing the Lothian royalty greeting. "No need for the greeting, I am going to live normally for the next three months and please call me Mia", I told him. "Ok, Miss Mia, step inside", he said moving to the side. I walked in with my two bags in tow. It was a large house with a lot of furniture. It was smaller than I was used to, but I liked it. "Your parents told me that no one is to know who you are so it's between you and me", he said. "Thank you, I appreciate that", I said. "Follow me to the room you will be staying in", he said as we walked upstairs. He led me to a room at the end of the hallway. It was decorated in a lot of pink. "You'll be sharing with my granddaughter, Cathy", he said. "Ok", I said putting my bags on the bed that had a white comforter. "You will have a fun stay until it is time for the peace conference", he told me. I nodded. "Let me take you to meet my granddaughter, Cathy and her friends", he said and we walked back downstairs.
Then he led me outside in his backyard. There was a little shed. When I saw his garden I told him, "Your garden is beautiful." "Why thank you, I have different plants from all over the galaxy", he said. "Do you have any Lothian plants", I asked. "Sadly no", he said. "You will now", I said handing him a seed. "A Lothian snoozlepuft", he said looking at the seed. "Yeah, I thought you might like it as a thank you", I said. "Yes, such a beautiful plant it will grow up to be", he said holding it up. I examined the exotic plants. They were all beautiful and full of color. Footsteps came into the backyard. "Grandpa, who is that", someone asked and I guessed it was Cathy. I heard someone mumble, "She's probably a nerd, and she's dressed like one."
I turned around to see four kids about my age. The boy with brown hair's jaw dropped and he stared at me. He was kind of cute. His green eyes had a mischievous look. "This is Mia, she's in town for a few months and she's staying with us", Mr. Smith told the blonde. I'm guessing she's Cathy. She ran up to me and shook my hand aggressively. "Hi, I'm Cathy, welcome Mia", she said. "Hi", I said. "You are going to love it in Single Town", she said. The other two came up. "I'm Samantha, but you can call me Sam", she said. "And I'm Christopher, but please call me Chris", he said. "Hi", I said. "What are you visiting for", Sam asked. "I'm going to represent my parents in a very important meeting", I told her. "Cool", she said. "Um, who is your friend that is drooling", I asked. They turned around to see the brown haired boy, with slobber coming out of his mouth as he drooled. "Danny, snap out of it", Chris said waving his hand in front of his face. He shook his head and stood up straight. He walked up to me trying to look cool. "The name's Daniel, but you can call me Danny", he said. "Ok", I said looking at him weirdly. "What", he said. I pointed to the drool hanging from his chin. Sam and Chris burst out laughing as he wiped it away and looked embarrassed.
"Why don't we show you around town", Chris said and I nodded. We walked out of the yard. There town was small, but I liked it. It was founded by Addison Single, but they left out that he's an alien. There was a lot they weren't telling me about this town. They did show me around the shops and where I would be going to school with them. The whole time, Danny tried to act cool, but he wasn't doing very well. It was obvious that Cathy was a Rhapsodian, she talks like it and acts like it. Chris was the brains; he was on top of a lot of things. Sam was the leader, even though they didn't acknowledge it, she was always telling them what to do and what to say. Danny was the show-off, he was always trying to get me to see whatever trick he was doing, but most of the time he would fall or trip and make me laugh. Cathy was kind of the comic relief; she was always saying weird things or doing weird things. They make a good team. The whole time they were showing me around, I felt like we were being watched. Suddenly their watches started beeping. They looked worried. "We have to go, can you find your way back", Sam asked. I nodded.
They ran away and I continued to walk. "Such a nice little town", I said as I walked past shops. "Very different from your palace, right Princess", someone said behind me. "What do you want, Kroner", I asked the assassin. "I am here to prevent you from going to that conference", he said. "You've been after me for some time, what makes you think that you'll get me now", I asked him. "Because, I know you wouldn't risk your cover", he said. "Just leave and I will make it easy for you when you are sentenced to Galactic Prison", I said. "That will never happen Princess", he said. I turned around to face the killer. "I swear by the time I am queen, you will be behind bars for the rest of your lives", I told him. "You have six years left, I will make sure you are dead by then", he said. "So cold Kroner, wanting to kill someone who has nothing to do with you", I said. "It is my duty to kill what shouldn't be born", he told me. He turned around and walked away. I walked in the opposite direction.
