Sorry i haven't updated in a while I've had tests these past few weeks and homework to complete too. But i'll try and update as soon as possible. Enjoy Chapter 11.

3rd PERSON POV

Today was the day of the ball and the time was nearing. It was already 3pm and the ball was at 5. Macey and Lila didn't realise but they were both quite similar in a lot of ways. Well when it came to fashion they were. Macey was kind enough to buy them all dresses and tuxes for this occasion.

The dresses were quite simple. All a different colour but some strapless or some with a slit. Each girl with her hair in curls and light makeup. The guys wearing a black tux.

Bex was wearing a black strapless dress. Liz a light pink gown, Macey a green dress with a slit mid thigh down. Cammie a red gown with a slit like Macey but with silver sequins across the middle. Grace wore a sea blue strapless dress. And Lila's similar to Bex's but in navy. They walked out looking like the 'princesses' they are.

CAM POV

5pm. Right on time. Even though Macey and Lila both insisted on being fashionably late. The guys insisted on waiting for us but we made them go with Joe. So they haven't seen us yet. Thank god that i wasn't wearing a strapless dress. Don't want the same incident to happen again and i definitely don't want to be left alone by someone and then have to face an adult by myself, not saying any names.

The palace doors opened and the ballroom looked almost like Madame Dabney's Tearoom but bigger.

" Wow, this room is almost like an exact replica of Gallagher's Tearoom." Bex said voicing my thoughts. All the other girls nodded in agreement.

I was walking around looking at all my friends dancing with their boyfriends whereas i didn't even know where mine had disappeared to. Suddenly I felt someone's presence behind me and two familiar arms went around me from behind. Zach.

" You know i've never seen any of them this happy before, not since i've known them." He whispered. His breath hot on my neck.

" They all bring out the good in each other. And they have a new look in their eyes. It's nice to know that they each have someone who understands them and gets them." I said, leaning my head on his chest. I looked at how Bex and Grant were trying their best not to stand on each others feet and started laughing softly.

" Why you laughing?" Zach asked me confused. I turned in his arms so i was looking at him.

" Look at Bex and Grant." i told him. He looked over my shoulder at Grant and Bex and started laughing too.

Without realising we were both dancing to the soft music that was playing in the background. It was like it was just the two of us in the overly packed Ballroom. In our own little world.

GRACE POV

The last time i was in this place, Jamie had blood dripping down his body. But now things had changed quite a lot actually. No more Anne. Which meant a happy life on Embassy Row, with the people i love.

As i stood by the one of the large pillars in the room i looked at all my friends. I mean my real friends. Lila & Jamie, Megan & Noah and even Rosie and Thomas. They all looked so happy together. Alexei came and stood by me and looked around.

"Things have changed around here since we've been gone. Quite a lot of things actually." He said to me. I looked at him. How he looked so much more older than before. He stuck his arm out.

" Lets dance." i nodded and took his arm. We walked to the middle of the ballroom and started slowly swaying to the music. As i looked into his eyes i realized how perfect our lives were now and i wouldn't have it any other way.

3rd PERSON POV

What happened next was a surprise to everyone. Even the best spies that were in the room at time. First gunshots were fired. Then a small part of the balcony fell almost hitting a group of people. The undercover CIA Agents and US Secret Service Agents tried to round up the Royal Family and evacuate the Palace. Men in black fell from the ceiling. But nobody knew who or where they were from.

The Gallagher Girls and Blackthorne Boys were fighting together.

Now the Palace Ballroom was empty. Except from the group of teenagers doing what they do best. Maybe it was The Circle. Maybe it was people who were fighting against The Society. No one knew and that's what made it worse.

All of a sudden someone shouted,"STOP OR WE'LL SHOOT THEM!" Everyone stopped and looked at the two men who were holding guns to the heads of two girls.

"NO!" Two boys shouted at the same time. They both ran forward but stopped abruptly when the men clicked the safety off.

"Move another step, either of you and i'll shoot. I am not afraid to. These girls lives mean nothing to me." One of them said. With a heavy British accent.

"Cammie you ok?" One of the two boys asked. She looked at him and nodded her head slightly.

"Gracie?" The other one asked. The other girl nodded too. Their friends looked terrified because they knew that if their friends were shot they would just have to stand there and watch.

The lights then chose to flicker at that time. It gave an advantage to the Chameleon and Princess(AN- Princess is Grace's Codename) to try and save themselves. Cammie lifted her head up hitting the man in the chin making him release his hold on her. In shock the man dropped his gun on the floor and Cammie grabbed it and hit him on the temple making him drift into unconsciousness. Grace did the exact same but the man didn't release his hold. So Cammie helped her out a bit by round-house kicking the man from behind making him stumble forward. Grace grabbed his gun and hit him on the head and slapped a napotine patch on both of them. Their friends staring at them both. Alexei and Zach ran up to their girlfriends pulling them both into hugs. Joe and Abby ran up to the gang and started 'interrogating' them before calling in the other CIA Agents to take the two men into custody.

AN- So the Ball didn't go exactly as planned but now everyone is going to be wondering who sent the men in the first place. Which of our favourite characters are in danger and which will need to watch their backs in order to not be dragged into this mess?

AnneWessler76- Thanks for giving this story a go! xxx

Dreamer0704- Thanks for the songs. I will definitely try and use them in a new GG Fanfic that i'm currently planning. But it won't be out till this one is completed. Also i know most of this had been Grace's POV but i just wanted Grace to get to Gallagher and then try and vary the POV's between the two. But I'm glad you like it. xxx

Guest- I will try and update as much as i can but sometimes i don't get enough time to. But i will try harder. xxx

Miss. L 2002- Long comment. I liked that line too. I tried my best to make Abby a bit like she is in the books but it's just Abby's character that i find is different all the time. Since they are on Grace's turf now things are and will be a lot different to what they would've expected. I am actually a Zammie fan at heart too but Gralexei is my no.2. xxx
