As we walked into the beautiful castle I couldn't help but take my time as I looked around. I had never seen anything like this before; let alone actually being able to go inside a castle. Although I was at the tail end of the line I made sure to keep up with everyone. Who knows, if I were to get lost in this building, I'd probably never find my way out.

"Oh you look so exhausted," Susan said after she had turned to look back at me. "How about Lucy and I show Rose, Colt, and Chippy to their room while you boys go get washed up for dinner?" she suggested to Peter and the other two guys. Peter gave me a reassuring smile before speaking.

"Alright, but don't lose her," he warned Susan, half joking, half serious. Susan rolled her eyes with a smile while Lucy let out a giggle.

"This way," Lucy said cheerfully as she grabbed my hand and began leading the way.

"Your home is beautiful," I told the two girls as we walked to my room. "Thank you," Susan said politely in return.

Silence…

I could tell the girls really didn't know what to talk to me about.

"So, where are you from exactly?" Susan asked with a friendly smile. At least they were trying to make me feel comfortable.

"America," I said hesitantly. I wasn't sure if she would know where or even what America was.

"America…hmm" Susan thought to herself, but it wasn't long until she remembered. "Oh my," Susan said once she realized where I was actually from.

"How did you get here?" Lucy piped in.

"Well I was walking Colt," I patted his head gently as I spoke, "and then he saw that one," I stopped and pointed at Chippy, "and so Colt took off running, dragging me along and somehow I ended up here," I said simply.

I had finally accepted the fact that I had no idea how I got where I was, but might as well try to enjoy it because there was no use in stressing now.

"Hmm, that's strange," Susan said lost in thought. I only nodded in agreement.

"This is it," Lucy said excitedly as we reached a door in the middle of a long hallway.

"Over there is Lucy's room, mine is next door, Edmund's is on the other side of mine, and Peter's is across from yours," Susan informed me before opening the door.

I gasped at the sight. A huge bedroom, fully furnished with the fanciest furniture I'd ever seen. The two girls walked in first, both holding on to one of my hands.

"Do you like it?" Lucy asked. I walked around in amazement until I saw a beautiful glass door that made me stop in my tracks; it was surrounded by windows and could be opened, leading to a balcony with a full view of the beach. I was in heaven.

"Like it? I love it!" I exclaimed. Both the girl's broke out into a smile. "Good we're glad," Susan said kindly.

I hadn't noticed but Colt and Chippy had walked in and were standing right next to me. Colt made his presence known by gently nudging my hand with his nose. "Oh hey boy," I said as I gently rubbed his head, "isn't this beautiful?" I asked him. He just nodded.

"Um excuse me," the familiar squeaky voice of Chippy spoke up, "where will I be sleeping?" he asked as he raised his tiny arm. I couldn't help but smile.

"Chippy, you and Colt will be bunking together at the foot of my bed," I said with a smile as I winked at my dog; I had always shared my bed with Colt. I could hear the two girls giggle at my answer.

"Now," Susan started, "let's get you cleaned up for dinner, shall we?" she asked with her soft smile. I looked down at my clothes to see my dirty jeans and flannel t-shirt. I mentally grimaced at how I looked. I could only imagine what my hair and day old make up looked like.

"Oh, um, I'm sorry, but I don't have anything to wear," I said shamefully.

"Of course you don't!" Lucy said like it was the most obvious thing in the world, "but we do," she finished with a grin.

That was the first time that I actually stopped to look at what they were wearing. Susan was wearing a deep crimson colored dress with gold accents, while Lucy was wearing a soft forest green colored dress.

I did my best to put on a fake smile. I was truly grateful that they would let me borrow their clothing, but man I hated dresses so much.

"Wait here and I'll go get one of my dresses for you," Susan said excitedly. I sighed softly to myself.

Great, this is all I needed; to be someone's personal Barbie.

I sat down on my new bed and nervously played with my fingers for a couple minutes until I noticed the silence. I looked up to see Colt quietly playing with Lucy. I could feel my heart starting to melt, and despite how badly I hated dresses I would give it a shot for these people. They just seemed so genuinely sweet.

"Here you go," Susan said as she rushed through the door in her excitement. She laid the dress down on the bed and handed me a wet washrag. I instantly started wiping my face with it.

"We'll give you some privacy while you change, and clean up," Susan said.

"Thank you so much," I told her sincerely before sending Colt and Chippy out the door with the two girls.

The dress wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be. It was actually quite nice. It was a blue full length dress with silver accents and from what I could tell it fit pretty well. I instantly felt better now that I was cleaner and had a fresh change of clothes.

I opened the door for the girls to get a look at me. "Well, how does it look?" I asked a little self consciously. Both the girls broke out into their familiar smiles.

"Rose, that looks great!" Lucy said. "It really does," Susan agreed.

"Now, let's go get some food in your stomach," Lucy said with a smile as she grabbed my arm and started to lead me back towards the great hall.
