Hey everyone, this story is actually written by two people (me and my best friend) We just wanted to let you know, also if we get 25 reviews we will do a special POV for Graham!

Chapter 2

***Elizabeth's POV***

"Hello!" She sang and I instantly knew we'd be the best of friends.

"Hi!" I responded, "you are winter, right?"

"Yes! Winter Benton 5 from Ottaro. And you must be Elizabeth and Kelly and..."

"It's Evelyn, get it right!" Evelyn snapped at us.

"Oh sorry!" Winter replied, "I haven't learned everyone yet!"

"So Winter," I said shooting a questionable glare at Evelyn, why would she snap like that? " what do you do?"

"Oh! I'm a dancer. Wait Elizabeth is your mother Emma Herrmann?"

"Oh yes!" I replied some people know my mother because she sings at a lot of fancy places.

"Wow! That is amazing! I love her work!"

"Thank you!" I was probably blushing like mad.

Ten minutes later the last lady showed up it was Rosie Peterson 2 from Labrador.

It was quite loud on the plane, with all of us chatting.

"So Elizabeth!" Winter exclaimed, "Do you have any nicknames? Elizabeth is such a beautiful name, but I was just wondering..."

" yes!," I replied, "my best friend back home, Marta, used to call me Liz and my father calls me Eliza. You can call me whatever you want."

"Oh I wish I had as many nicknames as you!" Rosie chimed in, she was sitting with me and Winter, while Kelly and Evelyn were feverishly whispering in the back.

"I agree!" Winter whined, "so is it okay if we call you Beth?"

"I love that!" Rosie smiled

"Yes of course!" I responded booming. I had never made friends this quickly.

All the girls arrived at the palace three days later.

"Okay Ladies! Congratulations on making it into the selection! My name is Jenna and I will be your guide throughout the process. We will meet Prince Damon and the royal family tomorrow." Some girls sighed at the thought, "but until then you will be prepped. So please follow me into the women's room. This is where you will spend most of your free time. No men are allowed in here and sometimes Queen America will sit in." I was awed at the thought of meeting our queen. She had done so much for this country. "Now please we will give you your stations, where your maids will get you ready."

She called off the names of all of the selected and station numbers. I was station number eighteen next to Winter and another girl I didn't know.

"Hello Lady Elizabeth!" My maids cried in unison.

"we will be your maids throughout the whole selection process! I am your head maid Amelia."

"I am Jennie."

"And I'm Pippa."

"Oh wow! It's wonderful to meet you! Please call me Elizabeth."

"Okay Ms. Elizabeth!" Pippa responded. I laughed.

"No no! You can call me Elizabeth, you don't have to call me Lady Elizabeth or Ms. Elizabeth!"

"Are you sure?" Jennie asked looking confused

"Of course! I will be spending most of my time with you lovely ladies, may as well be friends!"

I told my maids to go easy on all the makeup and stuff I've seen too many girls with makeup caked all over their faces. It looks so fake!

"Okay... Elizabeth... We're finished!" Amelia exclaimed. They wheeled around my chair to face the mirror.

"Oh! Thank you!" I was overjoyed I never thought I could actually look like this! "It's wonderful!"

"Yay! I'm so glad you like it!" Pippa squeaked. "Time to get your picture taken then go to bed it's getting late!"

I was in bed an hour later.

Finally! The morning I've been waiting for my whole life! I was going to talk to and meet Prince Damon Schreave. My maids quickly made some adjustments to a stunning mint green dress. It flowed to the floor gracefully. The lace on the hem gently kissed the floor. My maids also added a simple diamond necklace that basically floated on my skin. My maids picked out small earrings, and diamond heels to match.

I headed into the dining room, and stood behind my chair, as directed.

And then he came in Prince Damion Schreave. My heart melted. All the girls had huge eyes as he walked in smiling gorgeously. Next came in the King And Queen, then Rose who was holding hands with the twin toddlers Cecelia and Ruby. While everyone was still gushing over Damon the last member of the royal family walked in. No one noticed. But I noticed. Prince Graham Schreave. Wow. He looks different in person. He has dirty blonde hair and deep brown eyes. What is happening to me? I am here for Damon! I shook away the thought of Graham and ate my delicious breakfast.

***Winter's POV***

"Hello" I said in a kind of sing song voice. A girl named umm...Elizabeth responded and said hi and asked if my name was Winter...well I mean I am Winter you know? Well maybe she doesn't but I do...so...yeah.

Anyways I being polite and I respond, "yes and you must be Elizabeth, Kelly and...Ah..."

The other girl yells at me and tells me that her name is Evelyn, no way am I going to forget her name again!

"Oh sorry, I haven't learned everyone's names yet!"

Then Elizabeth asks me what I do, and I tell her I'm a dancer, and then I think...wait...is Elizabeth's mom Emma Hermann, the Emma Hermann, who is an amazing singer who my dad gushes about 24/7 and how he would love to play with her one day, and it turns out she is! We get on the plane and it is so loud with all of us talking. We come up with a nickname for Elizabeth- Beth and I think that Beth and I are going to become best of friends and I can't wait for her to become queen! we all arrive at the place soon after and and we, meet a lady named Jenna who is our guide/teacher throughout the selection for now though, she is going to give us a tour first we see the dining room and some other random rooms for when royal dignitaries arrive and other things like that. Then we see the woman's room. This is where we will spend most of our days here and only woman are allowed here and sometimes the queen and princesses will be in here. Wow that is a lot to learn. We then were assigned to rooms, I was next to Beth and a lady named Claire squires. As I walked into my room I was greeted by my maids who were overjoyed to see me. Their names were: Annie, Jordan and Ryan. I talked with them a little and finally got them to call me Winter just Winter. After they helped me get settled into bed, I told them they could leave and have the rest of the night to themselves, since it was only 9:45. At around 10:30, I got really hungry and decided I would go down to the kitchens and get a little snack. I started to head downstairs mindlessly walking around. I did not expect anyone to be up since the selected was supposed to be in the living area of the selected by 9:30 and by 10:00 in their own rooms. I was walking staring at the ground until I hit something hard, well, not really hard, but well, a person. As you can see, I am, kind of clueless and all over the place but can hold myself together when needed. I kind of stumble and fall on the floor. I look up and realize its prince Damon! He helps me up and well...

"Hello, what are you doing wandering around the palace at this hour?" He asks me.
"Well, umm, ah, well, I was hungry." I reply, god, I am an idiot.
"You're not in trouble, are you lost?" He asks me
"Oh, good, yeah kind of where am I?" I ask
"You are actually pretty close to the kitchens so you weren't completely lost" he chuckles after saying that. "Would you like to come to the kitchens with me I was actually just there getting a snack"
I was starting to warm up to Damon, he seems really cool.
We went to the kitchen to get a snack. When we got there he went into a pantry, got a loaf of bread and went into one of the fridges and got some butter. He cut a couple slices and I spread some butter on them. We started talking about life and other random stuff. And by the end he knew my name and I was just calling him Damon and we were joking and laughing around. When we are at my door, I didn't want to say good bye to Damon. He then leans in and gives me the lightest touch of a kiss making me feel all warm and fuzzy inside and then walks away.

The next morning I wake up and find my maids already in there preparing a bath for me. It was the nicest bath I had ever gotten. When I dried off my maids revealed a stunning light purple dress that came to my knees with a sweetheart neckline. They put on some light makeup just to bring out my lips and eyes more and put my hair into a side bun. I wore some simple diamond studs and a silver chain around my neck. I walked down to breakfast standing behind my chair as I was told to. I was standing next to Elizabeth, and I would have talked to her, but, I was too afraid I would get in trouble. Minutes later, Prince Damon walked in, my heart felt like it was flopping around in my chest not knowing what to do! (A/n romantic right?) Then came in the King and Queen, Princess Rose with the two toddlers Cecelia and Ruby. I could see that every girl was going crazy about Damon, no one knew that I had already met him last night AND that I had kissed him…I wonder if it was his first kiss. I'll have to ask him later. And I could see the younger Prince walk in, Graham, right? Finally we were allowed to sit down and eat our breakfast. The food is amazing and it could feed our family for a whole month there was so much of it! Some girls were called over to Damon to talk to him It was my turn next. I walked over to him and said hi.

How was this chapter? The next one will be interesting! We will try to post it later this evening!

Love ya!
