(A/N) Hey guys! So yeah I had my birthday party over the weekend and I was planning on putting this up then because I couldn't because, birthday party and then we didn't get back from my cabin until like yesterday so yeah... Sorry and that's why this is late... Yeah so creepy thing that happened on my birthday party, these guys were like stalking me and my friends all around my little neighborhood of cabins and wherever we went... Like seriously when we went to the beach, they were there. When we went to the ice-cream shack, they were there. IT WAS SO CREEPY AND FRIGGIN SCARY! They were like fifteen but they were fat and ugly... I should probably stop ranting and get on with the story...

Jack

I was awoken by a woman screaming. So naturally I ran in the direction of where the scream came from to find out what happened. It turned out to be Kim's room. "Oh no!" I had thought. When I opened the door the sight I saw was not what I had expected. Kim was not in danger as I had originally thought. She was in fact perfectly fine. The problem was not a person and it didn't look at all like something that could hurt her. Well it may hurt her style.

Kim was standing there staring in horror at a mannequin with a pink floor length dress, diamond earrings, and a diamond necklace that had a flowery design, a matching tiara, and finally a pair of pale pink pumps sitting beside it. Her mother was standing next to the mannequin looking at Kim sternly.

"Kimberly you must wear this for your homecoming ball tonight. You cannot wear anything else. Absolutely not."

"Why? This is so... so... PINK! And poofy, and so not my style!"

"I don't care if it's your style or not but you have to wear it. How about we make a compromise, okay? You can wear anything you want from now on as long as it's not for a ball or a meeting with someone important or important events okay?"

Kim looked at her mom skeptically and then said "Okay, but one more thing."

"Yes?"

"You have to let me and Jack go explore London today and you have to let Jack be here just for the sake of me having one of my friends here and not as a bodyguard. I don't want him getting hurt."

"I suppose you could go sightseeing, we don't have to do anything until later. I guess we could do that. I will work on finding another bodyguard."

"Thank you!" Kim said and she ran over to her mother to engulf her in a hug. Kate looked a bit taken aback with this but hugged her back.

Then Kim turned to me and said "Go get ready, we are leaving as soon as I finish getting ready."

Line Break

I met Kim down at the main entrance where a limo was already waiting. I have to admit, I thought this was pretty risky considering what happened yesterday but I don't think that they will dare attack again so soon. They will probably wait until we're not expecting it, but I will always be expecting it. Always.

"Took you long enough" Kim said.

"Well excuse me, some of us just got up 15 minutes ago and weren't dressed already." I replied. She laughed. I couldn't help but laugh a bit to.

"C'mon we should get going so that we can actually see stuff before that stupid ball that I have to wear that stupid dress for."

I laughed and followed her to the limo. We sat in silence for a few minutes before I asked, "So, where are we going first?"

"I was thinking we could go see Big Ben first."

"Cool. What's next?"

"I wanna go see the London Eye next. Then after that I wanna hit the London mall." ((A/N) I don't know the names of London malls so just go with it...)

"Sweet." I said a little less enthusiastically. You see, I don't really like shopping. At all. So that just seemed like torture to me, but the London Eye is gonna be cool so I'm looking forward to that.

Line Break

Big Ben was pretty cool. We went to the London Eye after that. We got our own capsule which was pretty awesome. I guess Kim being a princess has its perks.

"So, what's it like being a princess Kim?" I asked jokingly.

She laughed and said "So far it's alright. It has its ups and downs. Like having to wear stupid dresses for stupid balls."

I laughed and said "Yeah and you're never going to have any privacy from now on, just look at all the paparazzi that's down there trying to get a good picture of you. You will probably be the hottest topic out there for months. Your probably gonna be in like, every magazine. I feel sorry for you."

"Oh, don't even remind me. Jack, I just thought I'd let you know that since you're staying here in London with me, your privacy is probably gonna get thrown out the window to."

"Ugh... That sucks! Now I feel sorry for both of us."

She laughed and said "Oh yeah, Jack you have to be my escort for the ball tonight."

"Really! Now I have to go to that stupid ball too!" I said trying to cover up my enthusiasm. Yes, that means I like Kim. I pretty much have ever since I caught her apple the day that I met her.

"Yeah. Now we both have to feel the torture." She said as she laughed.

We had been talking for so long that I didn't know our ride was over until I felt the wheel lurch to a stop. We got out of the capsule and started walking to the limo. Now the part I've been dreading the most. Shopping. Lord help me.

Line Break ((A/N) That seemed like the perfect time to end this but I won't because I'm in a particularly good mood right now.)

Okay so the shopping wasn't as bad as I thought. Once we got there we decided we should have lunch seeing as it was 3:00 o'clock and we were starving.

I got pizza and Kim got a sub. We sat down and started eating. Well, I almost started eating before I noticed a magazine rack which almost all the magazines had Kim on the cover. Some of them actually had both of us on the cover. I don't want to know what those articles are about, but at the same time I do. I pointed them out to Kim.

"Oh my gosh! I've been a princess for about a day and I'm already on the cover of this many magazines! I guess news travels fast."

"Do you want to read the articles as bad as I do?"

"Yes."

"Give me money and I'll go buy the ones that are most appealing."

She gave me a look that said Why-do-I-have-to-pay-for-them! I gave her a look back that said your-the-rich-princess-besides-I'm-broke!

"Fine."

I gave her a smile that stated that I was satisfied. She rolled her eyes as she gave me the money. I took it from her and walked over to the magazine rack and picked one with Kim and me on the cover and one with just Kim. I walked over to the clerk and paid for them.

When I got back to the table I said "Guess you're not the only one that's on the cover of a magazine are you?"

She rolled her eyes and said "Let me see that."

I handed her one of the magazines and I read the other. I had the one about her first. It said:

Today the world was shocked to find out that the lost princess of England was not in fact killed in a car crash like the Royals had originally said, but was living peacefully in San Jose, California completely unaware of her title. Princess Kimberly, or Kim Crawford as she insists that she be called made her appearance to the world earlier today with her best friend Jack Anderson.

As some of you may know it wasn't long before things took a terrible turn. You see they didn't just put the princess in hiding for no reason. There is a group of Chinese terrorists that want to take over the UK and after that, the world. To do that though they have to get rid of the royal family and to do that, they had to get rid of the princess. So naturally, they were waiting for her at the airport to eliminate her. But don't get worried now because she had her protector with her, Claira Martin. She covered Kim while she and Jack (who is a 2nd degree black belt in Karate) ran to their awaiting limo to make a quick escape. Yet the danger was not over for these two because when they were crossing the Westminster Bridge they were pushed off the bridge by the terrorist. Don't worry, because Jack was there to save the day. No one knows how but they escaped and were brought to the safety of Buckingham Palace. Is it just us or do they seem like the perfect couple? Well, we'll just have to wait and see what's in store for Kick.

My eyes pretty much bulged out of their sockets when I read the last line. Don't look at me like that, yours would too if you were in my position. I swapped magazines with Kim and read the next. It said:

Princess Kimberly and best friend, Jack Anderson were spotted at Big Ben and The London Eye today. Though we couldn't see what they were up to in Big Ben we're pretty sure it was similar to what they were doing on the London Eye. They were spotted holding hands and talking intently to one and other completely oblivious of the rest of the world. Rumor has it; Jack will be Kim's escort at her homecoming ball tonight. Can guys and girls be just best friends? You tell me. Best friends or lovers?

It showed a series of picturesof us at Big Ben and on The London Eye. I was about ready to faint after that and by the looks of things, so was Kim.

Line Break

So the rest of the day was pretty awkward after that but we kinda forgot about as soon as Kim got to go shopping. She was about to try on this dress that she said was "Just sooo cute! I have to get it!" when Claira came up to us and said "Jack, I see that you don't like shopping. Well I'll be your saving grace and tell you that it's time to go."

You do not know how glad I was to hear those words. Don't get me wrong, I so do not want to go to that ball but that's just how much I hate shopping. I mean, I never go shopping. Ever. My mom bought all my clothes for me. Yeah.

Anyways, I'm getting a little off topic so I'll just get on with it. I pretty much had to drag Kim out of that store. Even when we got back to Buckingham Palace she wouldn't walk. She said she was to depressed that she didn't get that dress to walk. So I had to drag her inside the castle. I didn't have to drag her for that long because once we got inside the castle she was whisked away by her attendants saying that she needed to get ready for the ball. Not long after that, I too was whisked away by attendants to get ready for the ball.

Line Break

After I was poked and prodded I was sent to wait for Kim outside this huge set of doors that I assumed she would be making her grand entrance. I sat there for a few minutes until heard the door open. I was going to say "Hey Kim, how was your torture treatment?" or something along those lines until I got a good look at her, it came out like this "Hey Ki—Wow."

"I know, I know. It's bad. I feel like a Barbie doll."

Truth is I thought she looked beautiful. That dress may not be her style but she looked really good in it. Her hair was up in a loose bun with a few pieces hanging loose and her crown sat perfectly on her head.

"I don't think it looks that bad. Pink's a good colour on you."

"Your just saying that." She said shyly.

"No, I'm not. I meant every word."

Before she could answer Claira came up to us and said "Alright, let's get this over with. I know you two really don't want to have to do this."

(A/N) How was that? This was by far the longest chapter I have ever written in my life! 2,035 WORDS AND 5 PAGES ON MICROSOFT WORD WITH OUT THE AUTHORS NOTE! SUCK ON THAT! I guess I should warn you that future chapters will probably decrease in size and the updates will probably resume to normal, like once a month. Yeah, it's depressing for all of us. The reason is that school starts on Tuesday. I'M SO SAD! I checked the weather for Tuesday, 16 degrees (Celsius) and rain. HOW IRONIC! Now we're all sad. I feel bad. Oh by the way, links to outfits are on my profile. Check it out!
