Thanks to everyone who has read the story. The offer to use Becky in your own stories is still on the table, just tell me. Other than that here chapter 3.

Chapter 3

We are walking down the outside hall, the VKs and I, Jay points to a group a girls who look at him dreamily.

"Why do you torture them?" Carlos asks. "Just pick someone to take to Cotillion already."

"I'm going solo. That way, I can dance with all of them." Jay grins patting Carlos on the back.

"Ah, you're the expert," says Carlos. "Let's say that you were going to ask someone… What's the best way to go?"

"Listen." Jay stops and then all of us have to stop. "All you got to do…is look like me." Jay laughs.

"Oh, ha-ha." Carlos roles his eyes. Evie and I chuckle, I mean come on, it is kind of funny.

"Mal!" says Jane. Jane came running up holing a tablet.

Carlos tries to talk to her. "Hey, Jane," he says.

"Hey," says Jane with a smile.

"Uh, I was wondering…if you…uh…liked the carrot cake last night," Carlos says.

"I had the pumpkin pie," Jane says sweetly.

"Oh. Cool." Carlos stares at her, thinking.

"Smooth," Jay says dragging Carlos away.

Then Evie jumps in. "I have an opening at three! Who wants it?"

"Me!" Lonnie leaps in front of Jane. "Sorry," she adds.

"Okay, so I'll see you later," Evie tells Jane pulling Lonnie aside. I stand by Evie.

"Mal! I hate to keep bugging you, but the Cotillion decorating committee needs more answers. So as much as I hate to…uh…to…uh—" Jane says.

"Bug me," says Mal.

"Right." Jane nods.

"Yeah. Uh, no. Totally. I—I just have to get to class." Mal replies.

"you know what? Just nod if you like it." Jane show Mal her tablet.

"Okay," says Mal.

Jane swipes through some photos. "Chair swags. Entry banner. Twinkle lights. Uh, let's see. Napkin design. Table bunting…" Jane goes through more photos. Mal nods at each photo, now that would make me dizzy and sick. "And you still haven't picked the party favors yet," Jane adds.

"Jane, whatever you want to go with, I totally trust you—" Mal gets cut off.

"I mean, we could do chains, key charms, pen toppers, I kind of love the pen toppers," Jane interrupts. Mal looks really overwhelmed by this all, I get it though, Jane does keep asking her questions. When I have to help plan my fourth birthday party, which is in two months, it gets kind of really stressful from all the choices I have to make. Anyway…"I mean, we could do all three if you want to…" Jane continues.

"You know—" Mal's eyes flash green, she breaths and goes on. "I say pen toppers," she says.

"Uh-huh?" asks Jane.

"Yeah," says Mal. "Yeah."

"Okay! You won't regret it!" Jane beams.

Evie, Lonnie, and I walk over to Mal and Jane. "I can hardly wait to see what your wedding will look like!" Lonnie exclaims.

"Oh yeah, me too," says Mal. Does she not relies what was just said? "Wait, what?"

"Yeah!" says Jane. "The Royal Cotillion is like getting engaged to be engaged to be engaged!"

"I knew it!" Evie claps her hands together seemingly delighted.

"Everyone knows it," says Lonnie.

Mal looks like she just had the goodness knocked out of her. "I didn't know it!" She says. "How come nobody told me that? Is my entire life just planed out in front of me and no one was—" I didn't know that either though.

Ben came up from behind Mal. "Hi, Mal!"

"Hiiii, Ben," Evie, Jane and Lonnie sing together. That was weird.

Jane grabs Ben by the arm. "Oh, a quick moment!"

"I'm going to be with Ben, I will see you later most likely." I tell Evie. She nods and I go over to Ben.

"All right, the surprise is almost finished for Mal's big night," Jane whispers, showing Ben something on her tablet. I'm too short to see what it is.

"Make sure her eyes are green," Ben tells Jane.

Ben turns to Mal. "I'll see you later," he then turns back to Jane.

"Which green should they use?" Jane asks.

"Uh…" Ben takes three pieces of glass out of Jane's hands. He looks at the darkest one, "this one." My time with Ben was really short because I soon end up in Evie's dorm room again with Doug and Chad. Chad is having a cape made for Cotillion.

"Oooh! What about peacock feathers?" Chad asks. "I betcha nobody's going to have those at Cotillion!"

Evie clears her throat. "You know what, Chad? When I look at you, all I can think of is…king." Chad gasps happy with Evie's words. "And fake fur…Fake fur says it all,"

"Loud and clear," says Doug spinning around.

Jay pops his head in. "In the amphitheater in five," he shouts.

"Amphitheater in five," Chad mocks. "Why did coach make him captain instead of me? I'm obviously the better player." Chad whines. "King Chad, though. Don't mind the sound of that… You know who else would like that?"

"Who?" Asks Evie, faking interest.

"Audrey," says Chad.

"Hmmm, she would," says Evie, going along with Chad.

"Chad!" Jay yells. "Let's go!"

"Chad frowns. "I'm coming!" Chad gets off the platform as Evie takes the cape and drops it on a chair.

Evie and Doug laugh. "Not a lot of there there," the two say.

"Someone's obviously having some serious trouble dealing with his brake up with Audrey," Evie comments.

"Hey, I've been doing the numbers." Doug begins to type.

"Yeah?" Evie questions.

"And after we collect from all the girls for their gowns and Chad's cape…" Doug taps some more buttons.

"Uh-huh?" Evie looks at the computer. She stares in awe of the screen. "No wonder people work! Wow…" She looks at Doug. "What am I going to do with all that money?" She looks back to the computer.

Doug taps a few more keys. "In a few years, you could buy that castle you've always wanted." He looks at Evie. "That way, you wouldn't need a prince."

Evie takes Doug's hand. "You're right. I don't. Because I have you." She looks over her shoulder at me. "Becky come on up here, I have started making you an outfit,"

"Really?" I ask very happily.

"Yeah." Evie answers.

I hop up on the platform. "So Becky, what's been going on?" Evie questions.

"Evie, I want to have a sibling." I tell her.

"But you have one," Evie points out.

"No I don't," I say.

"What about Ben?" Evie asks.

"He's not a sibling anymore, he too busy." I answer.

"Well, he is king." Evie says.

"Daddy was king and he still spent time with me." I explain. "I'm supposed to be with Ben right now, not you and Doug, not that I don't want to be with you two, I just want to be with Ben."

"I see," Evie sighs. "Someone really misses her big brother." We talk for a little bit more while Evie makes me a outfit. Evie is right I do really miss being with my big brother.
