Eris POV

"Sis! The limo has arrived. Get your butt down here!" My brother Galaxy called.

"Hold your horses you Galactic Prick!" I smiled knowing that my nickname for my brother always gets on his nerves. I got up from my desk which was scattered with papers from multiple investigations my brother and I have been solving. Our recent case involving the murder of our two neighbours the Geoffreys has really been my brother and I's main focus lately. The case was getting on our very last nerve. "Come on Chocola!" I called to my sly, chocolate brown cat. Chocola meowed and jumped into my arms.

"Take that back," Galaxy bellowed from downstairs. "You know, I'm considering sending that limo back now that I've thought about it Sis!"

"I think we both know you wouldn't do that Big Bro." I yelled back descending down the staircase.

"Are you doubting my capabilities dear sister?"

My eyes widened. Under no circumstances do you ever doubt Galaxy von Justice. My brother, also known as Sherlock Holmes II, is considered one of the most famous detectives of our time. He has saved the country from rebels multiplied times. My goal is to one day be just as famous and as good of a detective as him.

"Why, of course not." I smiled nervously. The limo honked again, signaling it was time to go. I ran up to my brother enveloping him into a hug.

"Meow!" Chocola hissed, letting us know that we were practically smushing her into a cat patty.

"Stay safe Eris. Let me know if you see anything suspicious in the palace, I need another case to work on. And if I hear word that the Prince ever made you cry, I won't hesitate to beat his Royal Ass." Galaxy threatened. I rolled my eyes.

"I love you Sis." My older brother told me.

I love you too Galaxy." I repeated. "And let me know if you find anymore information on the murder of Mr and Mrs Geoffrey." I told my brother.

"Hey, of course I will. We're a team Eris. You are the "Morning Star" and I am the "Night Sky." Anything information I find out will go directly to you. You know that."

"I know." I said with a smile. And with that I opened up the door with Chocola scampering behind me and stepped into the sunlight wondering what promises my future would hold.

"Wow." Was all I could fathom. I had no words for the beauty I saw up ahead. The view of the palace was quite magnificent. An enormous fountain spouted water in multiple directions and steps of gold led up to the humongous gold double doors which had white pillars on either side. The pure white palace was an example of excellence. Along with the four other girls, I stepped out of the limo that took us from the airport to the palace. Even though I was sad to get out of the limo, it was nice to spread my arms and legs out. I mean there was your own personal mini TV, multiple beverages and a candy compartment! Seeing that there were other girls filing into the palace, I figured it was time to get in. Thanking the limo driver, I placed Chocola in my purse and I sprinted up the steps to get out of the hot sun and entered the palace.

"My God." I whispered in awe. I was starstruck. The architecture surrounding me was astonishing. The marble pillars, the intricate diamond chandelier, and the painting on the ceiling left me again, in awe. Gold ornate decor was plastered on the walls and multiple glass windows were placed strategically allowing the sunlight to shine through. I was completely and utterly dumbfounded. Just then the rest of the girls from my plane entered the palace. Nixon, Amirah and Cassia all chattered excitedly behind me. After being with them on a plane and in the limo for a good two hours, I was seriously eager for some peace and quiet. I mean, don't get me wrong, they are really nice girls! They just don't know when to shut up!

"Ladies, if you could please quit talking for a second, I would greatly appreciate it." All of us immediately stopped talking and put our attention to the front of the room.

"Hello, I am Candace. I will be your instructor/supervisor for the next few months, or however long this may last. You may find me strict and stern but you are stuck with me for quite a long time so I would get used to it." She addressed. Clearly, Candace meant all business.

I looked over to my left to see Sabrina, one of the other Selected talking to Blair. "What a bitch." Sabrina told Blair. "That old hag can't tell me what to do." She stated. I rolled my eyes. I looked to my left and whispered into the girl's ear next to me.

"The sooner both those two spoiled brats get out of here, the better." I told her.

"Tell me about it. You haven't even seen the worst though. Try spending four hours on a plane with them. My morning was pretty crappy to say the least." I chuckled.

"Anyways, I'm Elizabeth. Elizabeth Faye. And you are?" The girl inquired.

"Eris, Eris von Justice." I replied with a smile.

"Well Eris, I'm thinking if we stick together, we are going to have a lot of fun here. Friends?" Elizabeth suggested.

"Friends."

"Ouch. Ouch. OUCH! What are you doing to my hair woman!" I squealed, turning around to look at my stylist, Robyn.

"Erin," Robyn started.

"Eris." I corrected her.

"Ah yes, Eris, anyway we would not be in this position if you had simply brushed your hair this morning." My stylisted scolded. I groaned realizing that she had a point.

"Could you please remind me why we have to get all gussied up? I do not see a point in this. We are not even seeing the Prince this afternoon!" I exclaimed.

"Ladies, for what might be the hundredth time, we are doing a before and after makeover if I must tell you. So please, listen to your hair and makeup artists." Candace told us, answering my previous question.

What seemed like years later, Robyn told me I was free to go. I jumped out of my chair practically leaving a trail of dust behind me as I ran over to Alaska who was admiring her nails.

"Elizabeth!" I yelled. "Wow, you look gorgeous." I blurted. She blushed at my statement. It was true though. She did look amazing. Her stylist, Bria, had curled her dark black hair, leaving loose curls down her back. Bria had also added some grey eyeliner and mascara to make her vibrant blue eyes pop even more if that was possible. She was wearing this flamboyant lavender, satin, chiffon one shouldered dress that had black jewels lining up the sides of the bodice. It hugged her curves perfectly.

"Darling, take a look at yourself!" Elizabeth shouted. Looking into the mirror, I still see the same girl I have always been, but with more of a feminine look. I actually looked pretty. My long, golden blonde hair was as straight as a pin and looked very sleek high up in the ponytail. Robyn had painted shimmering silver eyeshadow onto my eyelids but also lined my eyelashes with a thick coat of mascara. The eye makeup did my turquoise eyes justice. Robyn also fitted me into strapless, floor length light blue dress. It had a high neck halter bodice that was lined with silver lace.

"Dayummmm girl. We look hot!" I declared. And with that we strut out of the room, arms connected, hips swaying and grins plastered on our faces.
