What's Meant To Be

by 4Love4Love4

Prince Carter Schreave has spent his whole life being told that he's special, that he'll do great things for his country. Almost nothing has ever made him nervous, for he believes there's no obstacle that he can't tackle. His Selection shouldn't be any different, right? But with the threat of another world war, and girls of all sorts, will he find the one who's meant to be? Hiatus

10. If They Would Be Right

HOW WAS YOUR LABOR DAY

Outfits on my Polyvore!

"Wait, why are you wearing that?" We were supposed to wear a white top and black skinny jeans…. I'm sure of it! It got sent to us and everything! But nevertheless, Kaitlyn Owens stands in front of me in the inverted colors: white jeans and a black top.

Kaitlyn gives me a look. "Um, because I want to?" She pulls a fashion magazine from the pile and flips through it. Avangeline had already done so, and Chance did it after, just not knowing what to do. I pick up one as well, just for the heck of it.

The 10 Girls Most Likely To Make It To The Elite

By India King

It's that time of year everybody, the Selection has arrived! The 35 beautiful girls will soon be coming to stay with the wonderful extended royal family of Illéa! They'll make friends among themselves and the royals, but enemies as well. And some of them will fall in love. But lets hope it's with only Prince Carter *insert wink*. (We're looking at you Princess Anna) But before they even meet him, why don't we place some bets? Here are our picks for the 10 girls WE think will make it to the Elite!

10) Lady Kaitlyn Owens Not only is Lady Kaitlyn –or Kaiti how she's used to being called, according to her YouTube channel- very beautiful, but from a very respected family of Illéa. She's the daughter of Governor of Sumner, Peter Owens, and the ever-gorgeous socialite Roseanne Owens. Her household is one held in high respect, and we expect Lady Kaiti to ooze the same poise and sociality that her parents do. On top of that, her weekly fashion vlogs showcase only the highest fashion, and her social media pages are chocked full of great outfits! Her beauty looks we absolutely swear by! We'll definitely have to keep an eye on Lady Kaiti, and we feel safe to guess a fashion line could be soon in her future! The millions on her fan base are sure pulling for her!

I was surprised to find myself as the next person. Me! Some nobody 4, a pastry chef! And they thought I would make it to the Elite. I was all too eager to read what they said about me.

9) Lady Xia Macbeth Lady Xia's cupcakes aren't the only sweet thing about her! We interviewed customers at her family's bakery and they've all agreed upon one thing: Lady Xia is always all smiles! And she makes some of the best deserts in Sota, but never mind that. Her constant optimism and brightness every morning as been so encouraging for customers everywhere, and her kindness has had a wonderful impact on everyone's lives! Her peaceful nature is very soothing, and she's known to strike up a conversation with anybody and everybody! Plus, her ties to New Asia can't hurt! We did make peace with them a generation back, but there are rumors of spats with the Indian Emirates! Maybe Lady Xia can use her calming nature (and connections) to smooth this all out?

I blush. I didn't know people said all of these things about me! And then I flush, when it gets to rumors of fights. Fights? Since when have there been fights? I can't wait to read on, hoping to distract myself, and eager to learn a bit about the other girls.

8) Lady Kalissa Lindenberg Lady Kalissa is the epitome of poise and grace, being the prima ballerina she is. Graceful and refined, Lady Kalissa has won her past four consecutive dancing seasons, what an accomplishment! We spoke with Lady Kalissa's dance coach, Coach Abigail Hawthorne of the prestigious Abigail Hawthorne Institution of Dance, in Dakota. "Kal's an inspiration to everyone." says Hawthorne. "She's always pumped and excited to dance her heart out. Her enthusiasm is always known to pump up the other dancers. But when she's on that stage, she just oozes grace!"

7) Lady Chance Huntley Wow. How much more Queen America can you get? Lady Chance not only has her features: fiery red hair, cobalt eyes, and dark freckles, but her caste too! True, she isn't a five, but a seven! The bar girl from Sonage must know about survival from the world around her, and we think that she could be a great leader. There are many reports of her being flanked everywhere she goes, even before the Selection! We aren't sure what about the redheaded beauty is so alluring, but we're determined to find out! In her Selected photo, Lady Chance struck a dramatic pose; capturing the eye of everyone and leaving us begging for more! She stands out in a crowd, and we think that Prince Carter will agree!

6) Lady Ainsley Reynolds This novelist is a definite contender in this contest! Easily one of the most beautiful girls in the Selection, she's known to be very humble. Her writing shows her flawless technique, creativity and perfectionism. Lady Ainsley's a girl who will accept nothing but perfection, and that's a trait that we very much need in a future queen! From her book tours around the country, she's known to be very personable and kind. She has fans all around the country, and we know that them and all of us are rooting for her! Her newest novel The Sound of Silence is on our top list of books! See page 62 for a chance to win a signed copy!

5) Lady Laney Watson This beauty from Lakedon has been planning her own woman's revolution, as it seems! She ahs encouraged the women of her province to stop-stop everything. They've walked out on their homes, work, everything! And very quickly, the entire province is beginning to crash. When interviewed on the Nightly News earlier this month, she reported "My goal is equal pay for women. In 99.6% of all occupations, women still only make 83 cents for every man's dollar! This is no longer 2015! It's time to wake up and realize: we are a vital part of society and deserve to be treated as equals!" Lady Laney's drive and ambition is one that we truly admire, and we hope that girls everywhere take from her example and fight for what you believe in!

4) Lady Avangeline Astor This gorgeous advisor-in-training would be a big asset to the royal family! Coming from a great family, one of the three ones of this contest has many national and global connections! She seems alluring and sexy in every interview and picture taken from her, with a calm nature. This could certainly help, should there be a war soon! The one recently graduated from the Academy of Greece, and we wonder if she'll have anything to say about the ancient city! We would love to see her wear some sexy Grecian inspired looks! Do I smell a trend coming? Illéa would be in great hands with Lady Avangeline holding the reins!

3) Lady Ryseline White Lady Ryseline –commonly known as Riley- holds many cards, being the daughter of our Advisor of State, Gareth White. Reportedly, she's on her gap year from diplomacy with her brother Jeremie and Aunt Astrid, author of many travel and culture books. Lady Ryseline seems to be a bit of a rebel-dying her once light brown hair a cotton candy-periwinkle Ombre. We're dreading the possibility of her being forced to die it back in the makeovers, and we're glad she's true to who she is. That's a trait that's very admirable (as long as it doesn't ruin the country!), and we hope that she never loses it!

2) Lady Waverly Bennett Though it's all up for debate, we say that Lady Waverly Bennett is the most beautiful girl in this entire contest! The brunette is a four and a Maître D. She works at her family's restaurant in West Paloma, former California Peninsula. Reportedly, Lady Waverly loves to surf and would love to do so professionally! We asked her (hot!) older brother Wesley, and he claimed to have taught her everything she knows! Make sure to sign up for surfing lessons with that beach babe, he'll teach you a thing or too! We're all excited for Lady Waverly's makeover, see if she'll change anything about her overall appearance. You don't need to, Lady Waverly! We think you're stunning exactly how you are!

1) Lady Blanca Van Buren We highly doubt that her sister, Duchess Diana Marie Claire Van Buren Ravenna of Italy, will be the only Van Buren marrying a royal! Lady Blanca is a stunner, and stands out in her family as the only blonde (are you into blondes, Prince Carter?). Lady Blanca is an ancestor of the winner of the very first Selection: Grace Abbot. Her many-times-great grandmother, Charlotte Diana Marcella Abbot Revelman, was the sister of former Queen Grace, and they've done well to maintain their caste over the years! With this beauty's connections, and clear poise, we think she's a shoe-in for this contest!

Agree? Disagree? What do you think of our list? Tell us your favorite using the form on page 43!

I sat down, a bit shocked. I looked around. Everyone of the girls on this plane ride with me-Kaiti, Avangeline, and Chance, had a feature here. And I did too? How was this possible?

At the same time, I guess this was educational. I didn't know that Kaiti was a YouTuber, or that Avangeline went to school in Greece. I wondered how many sides of these girls I would see, what I would learn about each of them. I wondered if they would be right.

Whelp, that's done. I wrote out one more plane ride chap because I decided I wanted to put the magazine bit in. India was submitted to me by N.M.E Agent.

Xia was written by x-ultalicious

Avangeline is the work of Princess Swim

Kaiti you should already know

And Chance you should also know.

THE END!

Now will be makeovers. How many do you want? And how many per chapter do you think I should do?

Tell me what you think guys!
