Mitchie's POV

I jumped on my bed the moment we came home from the graduation party, spreading my body over my king sized bed. The party took not only mine but Max's energy as well. After the entire food fight fiasco, Maria had offered help of cleaning up the mess everyone made to Dean Miller even though we did not partake in the incident. The idea of cleaning an entire ballroom displeased me and Max. But I was at least glad we had plenty of help from the workers and a few friends of Raphael and Andrew to clean the mayhem.

Most people would be shock to see or even hear about royalties actually cleaning, or doing any kind of housework. But this royalty is definitely different in most ways you would think royalties would do and are.

And Max, she fell asleep on the ride home. I knew she was tired, I mean she flew here from Serenea very early in the morning, and Serenea is about eight hours away by jet. I know I would get jet lagged easily after that long ride. One of the body guards carried Max upstairs to my room and laid her down on the new bed that was moved in to my room for her earlier this afternoon.

Feeling no energy to change, and exhaustion drowning me slowly by the second. I fell into a deep sleep as my droopy eyes closed. I know that I really need a lot of sleep for tomorrow's busy schedule.

I felt hands shaking my shoulders to wake me up but I shoved them off and rolled to my side, pulling the blankets to cover me. I heard two voices talking, barely understanding any words at all through my sleepy state. In an instant, I felt cold air hit my body, trying to find and reach for my blanket subconsciously but felt it no where near me. Sighing, I groggily sat up, rubbing the sleep off my eyes. Once I was fully awake, I saw Max from the entrance of my walk-in closet holding black sweats with a matching black tank top,a black jacket and a pair of black converse. Then I heard movements at my left and found Maria opening my phone and taking it's SIM card out then putting it in another phone, an LG Dare. I was so confused on what's happening.

"What's going on?" I asked as Max walked over and gave me the black clothes attire she chose from my closet.

"Go change into that." she said, ignoring my question, walking to my desk and grabbing my yellow lyric book filled with songs and my music player, placing them both in my messenger bag that was hanging on my desk chair, and then throwing the bag to me. I caught it, and looked at her with confusion written on my face.

"Will someone please tell me what's going on?" I asked loudly enough to get Maria's attention.

"Good, you're awake. Change into those clothes quickly." she said, nervousness detected from her voice, Maria looked at her watch," Hurry Michelle, we are going to leave in about ten minutes."

I nodded, though confused. Why are they avoiding my question? I sighed but walked in the bathroom to change in the black attire Max gave me. After changing, I walked out of the bathroom and noticed one of the guards from downstairs is in my room having a what looked like a private conversation because of the hushed tones with Maria. I looked over at Max who was sitting on my bed, a grim expression on her face. I finally noticed that she was wearing the same attire as I was wearing, all black. I walked over to my bed and grabbed my messenger bag and checked the items that Max placed inside. My music folder filled with music sheets and songs, iPod, lyric books, and my sketch pad and pencil case set complete with sharpened drawing pencils, a sharpener, and a white eraser, and a couple of journals. Now the only item that was missing was my cellphone.

"Alright! Are you both ready?" asks Maria hurriedly walking towards me and handing me the new phone. I looked at her, why can't I just use my previous phone? She saw the question in my eyes, "You'll have to use this from now on. I transferred all the memory from the SIM card to another, and you'll have a new phone number. Only your parents, Max and I know your phone number. You will not be allowed to call or have any contact in any way with anyone here in Roselia or Serenea. And be careful."

Now, I am completely baffled. Everything is just coming so fast and unexpected. I don't know what's happening because neither Max or Maria will tell me anything. What in the world is happening?! Someone have got to tell me the situation before I actually lose my mind worrying about something that I don't even know if it's dangerous or not! Okay, deep breaths, deep breaths. Now, I'm calm.

Before I knew it, Max, Maria and I were at the airport, rushing through gates and scanners. I was glad that there were no paparazzi around, usually they were around to see any I still have no idea what's happening, Max looks like she's going to cry and Maria is worried and in a hurry. We arrived at Gate 1074, Flight to Los Angeles, California, USA. Why are we standing in front of the gate for the flight to USA?

"Why are we here?" I asked for the millionth time today. I wouldn't have to ask so many times if someone just answer my simple question.

"No time for questions and answers. Listen girls, when you arrive at LAX airport, a woman will pick you both up, you don't know her but she knows the both of you." Maria took out a brown manila envelope from her purse and handed it to Max."Everything you need to know is inside this envelope. Read it when you're both in private." She hugged us tightly. I felt tears through my thin jacket. I pulled away to see both Max and Maria in tears, and so was I.

The plane ride was cramped and long. We're not use to riding public transportation such as this plane to California, but at the least, we got First Class Flights. Right now, I'm sitting between Max and a strawberry-blond haired woman, the woman who retrieved us from the airport . Her name is Ms. Kelly Jones, an agent to a secret organization called the Princess Protection Program, the same organization Maria secretly worked with a few guards from the palace. I just learned about Maria's other occupation by the envelope she gave us. Fortunately, we had enough privacy at the plane, and both Max and I agreed to read the information inside the envelope. And I finally attained the answers I needed.

Where was I? Oh yeah, I was sitting in between Max and Ms. Jones. Ms. Jones was explaining to us about the problem back at Roselia and Serenea. Apparently the Ambassador of Wales, Ambassador Cedric Mason has been planning to take the King and Queen Of Wales hostage, gain control of the country and then try and get control of Roselia as well by kidnapping either me or Max, and just engaged his plan during the twins' graduation party. The twins, Andrew and Raphael, I wonder how they're taking this. I feel, no, I know that both teenage boys are safe, and probably confused and worried about the situation at hand.

Max and I were silent throughout her explanation, I don't know about Max but for me, I actually had nothing to say. I was too stunned about this entire problem.

"Now, the both of you are getting new names, looks and will be living under one of our agents. Basically, you will be getting new temporary identities while you're both in danger." Ms. Jones gave us a piece of paper with information about our new identities,"Right now, we're on our way to a salon to get you girls a whole new look."

I nodded at her plan then read the piece of paper containing my new identity.

Name: Mitchie Torres

Age: 15

Date of Birth: July 4, 1994

Birth Place: Dallas, Texas

Parents/ Occupation: Connie Torres: Cook & Caterer, Steven Torres: Owner of a hardware store

Sibling(s): Max Torres

Relations to the Santiago Family: Family friends, met when the Torres family moved to San Diego, California in 1999.

Mitchie Torres. Not bad, other than Mitchie being my nick name, I liked it. Ms. Jones caught my attention when she started talking about some camp. "Wait, what? Sorry Ms. Jones, I didn't catch the part about some camp."

"Oh, sweetie, please call me Kelly. And the camp, well it seems that Agent Santiago's children are going to some music camp. Luckily, he was able to apply you both to the camp." Ms. Jo- I mean, Kelly said, smiling at me.

Wow! I wonder which camp are we going to attend?

"Do you know what camp is it?" asked Max, while eying me. She knows that I had been dreaming of going to a music camp.

Kelly went through her bag again, taking out a piece of paper. "It doesn't say on the list that Agent Santiago sent me. Oh yes, after the getting your hair cut, we'll be heading to the mall to buy you both some clothes and other necessities you'll both need at camp.

The next thing I knew, I was getting my hair washed, my nails getting cleaned and repainted, and my face covered in some kind of face cream by many people around me.

"What kind of hair style?" asks the hairstylist.

I thought about it, I always wanted to get my hair cut to almost shoulder length and bangs, but Maria and mom always say that it'd be a waste to cut my long thigh length hair, and bangs would just get in my face. "Ummm...can it be a little below the shoulder," I said pointing to my left arm, showing just how long my hair should be, "Oh, and can I get bangs, too."

After I was done, I looked at my new look. I barely recognize myself, my new hair style looks so awesome. I turned to my left and looked at Max, she looked beautiful. Her hair straight in layers, her skin covered in light make-up making her hazel eyes pop.

"Okay, now to the mall!" exclaimed Kelly while paying the hairstylists. "After buying your clothes, we'll head to the nearest music store to get you both some instruments. It said on the list that it's optional but I presume you both play?"

We nodded, "Yeah, I can play the piano, violin, and guitar smoothly, while Max can play the violin, saxophone and a little bit on the guitar. And I plan to bring a guitar to camp. What about you Max?" I asked, looking at Max who was deep in thought.

"I'll get the violin, I could always borrow your guitar, right?" I nodded.

"Good! Girls with many talents, impressive." Kelly said, taking out her cellphone, "I'm calling Steilberg String Instruments to get your instruments ready after buying your clothes for camp. And then by two forty-five, your flight to San Diego leaves. So by two thirty, we should be at the airport."

We took a cab to the mall, and entered almost every women's clothing store such as Banana Republic, Hot Topic, Forever 21, Victoria's Secret and more. Shopping for normal clothes with no bodyguards around is so much fun. I've never had this kind of freedom, and I love it. So did Max, ever since we left Roselia, she's been quiet and on alert, but now she's relax and carefree.

The rest of the day went by faster than I thought, after buying our clothes and a few suitcases for camp, we all went out to lunch then fetch our instruments from the store, then to Kelly's apartment to get ready for the flight.

Kelly's apartment was awesome, small but big enough for her. I was sitting with Max at her kitchen eating the cake that we bought at the mall, we just finished packing and changed into new clothes. Kelly was getting ready for the flight, not minding if Kelly cared that I opened the T.V. I grabbed the remote and turned on the T.V. Lucky enough, the channel I was looking for popped up, Hot Tunes.

"Oh! Hot Tunes! Turn it up!" squealed Max. I obliged, silently laughing at her reaction. Looking up at the T.V. the theme song of Hot Tunes played. I was hoping something good and new would come on, but unfortunately it was another report about the pop star Shane Grey who has been acting like the world revolved around him.

"The phenomenon pop star Shane Grey," reported the television reporter, "May have gone too far this time when he stormed off the set of Connect 3's new music video. No official report on why, but word is that he stormed off the set after someone accidentally gave him the wrong coffee order."

Oh my, I can't believe him! Well actually, I could believe him doing that. Just because he got the wrong coffee that doesn't mean he can storm off his new music video. I bet it cost the Label thousands of dollars. That's why I dislike people like that, he's just like Elizabeth, maybe worse. Thinking that the world revolves around them just because their famous and rich.

"Word is that the other band members of Connect 3, are fed up! This stunt cost the label thousands of dollars, but it may cost the band the rest of their record deal." The reporter said.

"What's wrong with him? I mean he has everything anyone would want." Max said.

I shrugged, "Except a clue." showing the disgust in my voice.

"The message is clear, Shane Grey has to clan up his act! And in order to do so, the Connect 3 summer tour has been canceled," Was what the reporter said before I turned off the T.V. I didn't want to watch anymore that has got to do with him.

After finishing the cake, I took our plates then placed them in the sink and washed them. Another thing about me is that I could actually work and do chores like normal kids. I learned it from Maria and the palace chef, Chef Sami.

Kelly finally finished and we were ready to leave.

We were on the plane to San Diego. Max fell asleep the minute the plane was in the air, and Kelly was on her laptop. She said it was a part of her job to do some paperwork, like a regular cop. And me, I was listening to the songs I recorded and downloaded into my iPod, trying to pass by the time. I also sketched some of the sceneries I've seen in the city like the beach.

Drawing or sketching is another passion of mine. Other than musical talent, I also have my artistic ability.

In a couple of hours, we're going to land and meet the family we'd be staying with. Kelly mentioned that Agent Santiago has two children, fifteen year old twins actually. A boy named Xander and his sister, Alex. I hope they're not mad because they have to chaperon us at camp, I also hope they like us. And hopefully while at camp, I wouldn't accidentally blow our cover. I don't know what I'd do if that would happen.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please buckle your seatbelts and prepare for landing." said a voice through the intercom.

I woke Max up from her peaceful sleep and helped her buckle up. Kelly was ready and buckled up as well. A few more minutes till we finally land.

"Agent Santiago is meeting us at the airport and you'll both go with him back to his house to get acquainted with his family," Kelly said in a hush tone, "I know you're both scared and not used to this kind of situation, but for the time being, relax and don't worry too much. And have fun at camp, it's not every day you get to attend a famous music camp!"

Well, it's not every day we get to be in the Princess Protection Program either.

Alex's POV

"What! Mom, it's not fair! Why do we have to look after two bratty princesses?" I complained, sitting down beside mom. I don't want to look after some princesses from some small country that I've never even heard of. At first I was pretty excited, but since dad will be away all summer and Xander, mom and I will be going to Camp Rock, they can't just stay home. So, mom and dad decided that they both join us to Camp Rock, and since they're both girls, I'm the one stuck looking after them at camp.

"Alexandra Marie Santiago!," mom scolded me, "Don't say such rude things. You don't even know them! There's nothing that we can do. If they warned us sooner, I wouldn't have planned on accompanying you both at camp. And besides, this was a last minute alert situation at the organization, everyone else had their jobs and problems to do while your father just finished his and he was the only one left that could take care of last minute problems."

"Yeah, sis!" said Xander who was sitting on the couch with his phone in his hands, probably texting Caitlyn.

I took a couch pillow and threw it at him. "Shut it, Xander!" I turned to mom again, "Well, you could just call Brown now and tell him you're not going!"

Mom looked at me with a serious face, "Alex! You know that I can't, this week is the week before camp starts, and you expect me to call Brown on the last minute and tell him I changed my mind and won't be working this summer. What do you think?"

"Fine, alright! I'll look after them." I said, giving up. All I have to do is to make sure that they don't blow their cover and keep them from hurting themselves, and everything should be fine. I mean, how hard could that be?

I just hope they're not like Tess Tyler who thinks that everyone would just bow down at her feet because she's rich and is the daughter of famous singer TJ Tyler.

"Alex, I'm sorry for making you do this, but these girls are far away from home, can't have any contact with their family, and doesn't know anyone here. I don't want you giving them a hard time or act like you expect to already know things. And if I hear any complaints, I won't buy you that camcorder that you've been asking for camp." Mom threatened.

"No! Don't worry, I'll be good to them! Just please, buy me the camcorder! I want to record all the fun memories I'll have at camp, please mom!" I pleaded, already on my knees beside her on the couch.

"Good!" Mom said before getting up and walking towards the kitchen.

I sighed and slumped back on the couch. I looked over at Xander who was doubled over laughing so hard on the ground. "Oh, shut it Xander!" I yelled at him before running up the stairs to my room.

Right now, I'm hating dad's job. Before, it was really amazing of him to travel around the world and save many people's lives, but this time, he's mission is not to my liking.

I think this chapter is pretty long, I'll post the next chapter maybe in a few days.

Hope you like it!
