They had finally landed and it had been a twenty hour flight, so the entire gang was pretty on edge, fights had started to break out nothing serious just petty squabbles from being in the air too long.
They had ridden a horse and carriage from the airport, through the outer city through the inner city and finally to the place they were staying at…or should I say palace they were staying at. It was huge, quite literally a palace out of a fairytale, with turrets, pointy towers and absolutely gorgeous.
The only one out of the four who had never been before who wasn't surprised was Cece, who's elaborate studying had prepared her for this. She was able to speak and converse with the carriage driver fairly successfully, to the point where he had during the two hour trip taken to calling her lady Cecelia…despite her endearing protests, the others only understood because the twins were translating, the others not knowing that Cece's study of the language had began a lot earlier than six months ago when she found out about the trip
When they finally arrived at the castle, a team of bell boys ran to take their things, the twins instantly transferred back to organised royalty and began instructing the staff where to take each suitcase and bags and stuff, Cece politely thanking the staff who fussed round them…or more specifically her. Tipping each one with some funny looking coins, which she quickly informed the others were the currency of the country. Tipping the carriage driver generously, whilst still chatting fluently, until Gunther called her away, promising to continue the conversation with Franco (the driver) later on.
They stepped inside and Gunther explained that they each had their own room, on the same floor as him and Tinka, that they would freshen up then be led down to the main parlour to meet their grandparents, leading the way, they dropped Ty off first, then Deuce who's rooms were next door to each others, then Rocky and Tinka, who's rooms were also next to each others…before Gunther dropped Cece of at her room, which was next to his…opening the door to her room, he smiled as she stared in amazement "its incredible" she gushed happily running in to explore whilst he sat on the sofa. In reality her room was more like a suite, the door opened to a living room, which had 3 separate doors one leading to a bedroom which had a balcony which overlooked the gardens, another which led to a en suite bathroom and another which led to the biggest walk in wardrobe ever. She ran over to sit next to him on the couch, cheeks pink and eyes shining. Gushing about how brilliant it was. "Yeah Tinka was sad to see it go", her expression looked somewhat guilty "you sure she don't want it back?", she questioned. "I'm sure, she wouldn't take it back if you offered…besides my grandma would throw a fit if Tinka even attempted too" he smiled charmingly, then stood smiling at her sweetly
"I've gotta go get cleaned up, so do you…its you my grandma wants to meet anyway, after all. You're the guest of honour". She giggled, slightly blushing making Gunther chuckle before telling her he was right next door if she needed one tiny little thing, remembering their conversation on the plane, telling himself that she was ready and that it had been at least two years coming. Despite her qualms about being ready and prepared well enough.
She nodded and turned to get ready, smiling at the maid who swept in twenty minutes later announcing that she had been instructed to work for Cece as her personal ladies maid for the next two months of her trip, talking fluently and laughing with the maid, quickly asking if her friends were settled in yet, glad when the answer was positive and that they were all like her getting ready…awe struck when she saw the dress that the queen had had made for her. Thrilled at how it looked on her small lithe body, enjoying the feeling of luxury as her maid Mary arranged her hair and make up…deciding that her and Mary would be a brilliant combination. As she got ready for what was to come.
Authors note. In this they are all sixteen except Ty who's seventeen
