As I'm writing this chapter, I'm listening to the song from the movie Music and Lyrics, A Way Back Into Love. You should watch it, it's so good and the music is pretty good too! Anyway…thx for the reviews so far…here's some answers:

actingalexis13: you betcha!

Troypayrocks: Zeke…well maybe he isn't in the story, maybe he isn't. Maybe I'm bringing a character from another show. Maybe Zack thinks Sharpay is Maddie and is the evil wizard! Oh the thoughts going through my mind!

ceruleanblues: it is really different from what is normally updated right?

xamyxjx: Well will this be a good enough update for you?

AshelyZac4life: You bet it will be!

XxCharmedxX: I decided on this idea last minute…you'll find out if you read this chapter! Evil wizard…it seems like everyone's betting on Zeke!

Disclaimer: I don't own anything underneath this line other than the plot and my own personal opinions.

Previously on Not Your Ordinary Fairytale:

"Ryan! That prince, you said he disappeared a while ago?"

"Yes…that's right. Why are you so surprised?"

"I know where he disappeared off to."

"Where? Search parties were dispatched across the kingdoms! It's not possible that he went to Live!" (a/n: evil, get it! Hahahaha…'laughs awkwardly'…ok sorry, I'll stop.)

"Well, I guess they didn't search so well. You see, when I was still not aware that I was a princess, there was this boy our age. He had appeared mysteriously at our village at the exact same time you had noted. His name was Tory, very close to Troy's. Well of course I didn't know and we became fast friends. That prince looked strikingly familiar and when he looked at me, I knew it was him!"

"You do know that they are staying for a week or so right?"

"Of course I do father has already told me some details. He also told me to tell you that we are both wearing ocean blue to the supper tonight."

"Ocean blue? Of course he knows it's my favorite color!"

"Funny, when I lived in the village I was always and still am fond of ocean blue."

"Really? My tutor once taught me something called 'twin telepathy' since twins have some ability to think alike."

"What do they say? Great minds think alike!"

Ryan left and Sharpay went into her closet to lie out what she was going to wear. Surprisingly, she was able to find a beautiful ocean blue dress that had spaghetti straps and a thin baby blue ribbon wrapped a few inches above the waistline. The bottom half of the dress was slightly ruffled to give the dress a different tones of ocean blue here and there and was wide enough that when you ran it would flow behind you, would spin along with you and the length was long enough to have a few inches of it flow down to the floor. Satisfied, she chose a pair of blue heels that were somewhat detailed, but not detailed enough to outdo the dress.

She was walking through her closet exploring when she found some extra cabinets. Inside hung different pashminas in different colors. She found one that had different blues blending into each other like the ocean. She grabbed this and then opened another cabinet and gasped. Lights from an array of jewelry glared back at her. She stared at it for a while gathered herself and picked a sapphire studded choker of some sort that had a few diamonds to add to the brightness. There she also found earrings and a bracelet that matched the necklace. What she found also was a cabinet full of dog collars.

Dog collars? Why on earth would I need dog collars?

She read a note inside the cabinet. It told her to go see Ryan about this. When she went to Ryan, he gave her a very heavy box. He told her to open it. It was a dog! Sharpay decided to name it Blondie then fitted the matching sapphire collar onto Blondie. With all these new surprises and choices, Sharpay had totally forgotten about Troy until a maid arrived calling them for dinner. Sharpay forgot all the fun she was having with Ryan and Blondie, grabbed Ryan and froze. What if she was going to sit next to Troy?

"Ryan…"

"Relax Sharpay, there's a small chance that you're going to be sitting next to him!"

"You're right, what are the chances?"

Sharpay quietly ate. She stole a quick glance to the left of her and then looked back down at her food, closing her eyes and trying to remain calm. The chances were supposed to be slim! She looked again but then she caught onto a pair of blue eyes staring back at her. Both of them looked back down, clearly embarrassed. Ryan and Gabriella stared amusedly from across the table, fighting back laughter. Sharpay and Troy both glared at the same time at Ryan and Gabriella, who immediately straightened their faces and began whispering to each other from the corners of their mouths.

Troy looked at Sharpay. Sharpay looked at Troy. They caught each other's glances and then looked down embarrassed while trying to eat again. Ryan and Gabriella would be glared at after snickering. The evening basically was in a loop until supper ended and they all went back into their rooms. Ryan and Gabriella decided to take a walk while Sharpay excused herself and speed walk up the stairs to her room, collapsing onto her bed with Blondie beside her. She then took Blondie up in her arms and walked out onto her balcony. Troy secretly walked into her room and onto her balcony while Sharpay wasn't looking. He rested his arms on the verandah and sighed, which caused Sharpay to jump.

"Sorry for scaring you."

"What are you even doing in my room?"

"You seemed so scared of me during supper, I wanted to ask why."

"You're Tory aren't you?"

"Who's Tory?"

"Of course you must know that 'person' that appeared mysteriously at my village…"

Troy at this point freaked out, put a hand over her mouth and dragged her into the closet, quietly closing the door.

"Are you crazy? You're a prince, not a murderer, what are you planning to do?"

"Sorry. And yes, Tory was I. Don't say anything to your parents, mine or Gabriella's though."

"So I deserve an explanation."

"Yes you do. Well as you know now I am the prince of Wen Ocixem. My parents, in a marriage deal to unite kingdoms decided to put Gabriella and me together. We ended up being good friends until one day I realized that I was going to marry her but we were just friends. Gabriella of course, did not realize this and ended up falling in and eventually out of love with me. At the point when she was falling in love with me, I freaked out and traveled here, because it was a place they wouldn't look in. Of course I had to change my name so that no one would realize in the future or present who I was."

"So all that time I knew Tory, not Troy."

"Well, we have time to know each other. Tory was I truly. I didn't change my character."

"What way is there on earth that you are able to prove to me such words are true?"

"This."

Troy held out a pink handkerchief. SE was carefully embroidered onto the corner and the material, although cheap, was soft. (a/n: teehee, this would've been a sign of courting in the middle ages, and the handkerchief would have been a token of the lady supporting the knight lol)

"I kept this. Do you remember this? You gave it to me as a sign of your friendship when we first met. Would a stuck up prince without the same character do this? No. Would a prince that truly cares for that peasant turned princess that never changed since that experience keep this friendship token? Yes."

"I'm sorry for doubting you."

"It's ok. I would do the same in your perspective."

"So, how is your princess life so far?"

"Well, I thought at first everything would be weird, since I'm not used to being a princess but for some reason I was able to change easily. I guess it's because I was born a princess."

"True, true."

"Maybe having a life like this is good after all…"

Troy and Sharpay, being good friends already, talked endlessly until it was late in the night and Sharpay needed to rest. She found a nightgown made out of silk which she loved and a comfortable bed to sleep in. The next morning when she woke up she walked into her closet to pick out her clothes, brought it into the bath and showered. When she had dressed and come out, a maid had made her bed and was dusting some furniture. As soon as the maid realized Sharpay was there she stopped and curtsied.

"Good morning princess. My name is Kelsi; I am your head maid. I will be attending to you the most but you also have 10 other maids to assist you in various activities. As you see, the Queen cares for you very much."

"I've never had a maid before, let alone 10, but I shall get used to it. You shall be one of my friends, since you will be with me for a long time."

"I am very lucky to be a servant to you princess."

"Nonsense, and I think that if we're friends, we should refer to each other by our first names."

"Yes prin- I mean, Sharpay. But of course in the open public, I will still refer to you as princess."

"If it is fine with you."

Meanwhile…

"Taylor! At last you have arrived! How has the trip been?"

"Fine Gabriella. We had to travel with the prince's men though."

"Oh it's a shame that they didn't allow my friend to travel with me."

"It's ok, I am truly your maid after all."

"Nonsense, I don't treat you like a maid, in fact, I lend you maids to help yourself out!"

"I did meet someone kind of cute though."

"Really? Who?"

"I think it might be the prince's leading knight though. His armor was nicer than the other's and he rode his horse next to my carriage. I think his name was Chad."

"Chad!"

"Prince Troy!"

"It's a shame that they didn't let you ride with us earlier."

"It's ok, I rode beside this beautiful maiden's carriage. She was different from the other maids."

"I'm guessing that she was Gabriella's head maid. What a coincidence. Speaking of which, you, prince Ryan, his knight Jason and I will be going on a hunting trip in the forests over there."

"Jason!"

"Yes my King."

"I wish for you and Ryan to guide our two guests for a hunting trip. They have already been notified, as have Ryan."

"Yes my liege."

"And see to it that Sharpay's maid Kelsi is notified to tell her that she, Sharpay, Gabriella and her maid are going to be having a girl's night in Sharpay's quarters."

"I will get right to it sir."

Yay another chapter! Better get to those other stories soon huh? As you will see, the maids and the knights are quite close to the royal families and the four guys and girls will develop relationships. R&R!
