"Hello Maria how was your day?" Liz asked as she walked into Maria's room. Liz looked up and almost fell to the floor laughing. Maria was lying face down on the bed,over and under a mountain of clothes with a dress stuck around her head. Maria looked up sharply and the dress fell on her face. Liz laughed.
"Huh-wha?" Maria asked disoriented.
"My goodness Maria what on earth happened in here. It seems like a hurricane hit in this room!" Liz exlaimed with a smile. Maria frowned for a inute then a panicked look spread across her face and she ran to Liz, grabbing her shoulders.
"Oh my Liz! What am i going to wear what am i going to wear. I have nothing. Absolutely nothing! I need to wear something!!!" Maria shrieked.
"Calm down Maria!! now slow down and tell me what this is all about" Liz told her and lead her to sit at the edge of the bed.
"Alright.....When you were in town today i decided to meet with Michael and oh my Liz his lips ended up on mine and now we're going to the ball together and i am absolutely terribly nervous!" Maria started to shriek again and this time Liz joined her.
"Maria this is fabulous! i am so happy for you" Liz said and gave her a brief hug.
"Yes i know...and what about you? what did you do today?" Maria asked her with a smile.
"Me?..well umm....I went to visit an old friend of mine, it's not important" Liz informed her. Maria raised an eyebrow in suspicion but decided to drop it. There were much more important things to deal with.
"Oh...has my dear brother asked you to the ball yet?" Maria asked suddenly.
"Uh...no he has not but that is alright" Liz replied and gave her a reassuring smile. Maria shook her head.
"No no no...my brother will ask you to the ball you will accept you two will dance the night away and everyone will be happy!" Maria declared. Liz couldn't help but nod in agreement.
"Well back to business..you still have not told me why your room looks like it's ben ravished, but now am i guessing why" Liz pointed to the pile and laughed again.
"Oh Liz what am i going to wear?! It's hopeless!" Maria threw herself back on the bed and sighed heavily.
"Don't worry, we'll find something to suit the elegant princess of England..if it's the last thing we do!" Liz pledged with a laugh and Maria gave her a mock glare.

"Sir a letter has arrived for you" a man entered a room with a snow white letter ,wrapped in a red ribbon.
"Who is it from?" Another man sitting behind an oak desk asked. The messenger approached him and dropped the envelope on his wooden desk.
"I don't know sir. It was annonymous" he answered and retreated to the door.
"Very well" the man answered and took the letter within his fingers and opened it. After a few minutes of reading the elegant handwriting he gave an amused grin. ' Tonight it is then my lady' he thought and threw the letter in the fire burning behind him to erase all evidence.
*************
After hours of deciding Maria had finally settled on a white dress that was embroided with small flowers. It was a a long dress that came up just above her ankles. The front and the back were both unrevealing and the sleeves were long.
"You look beautiful Maria" Liz commented as they both stared into the tall mirror.
" I suppose it's alright" Maria replied with a not so sure voice. Liz glared.
"Oh no don't you DARE! You are going to wear this dress to the ball and if you think about changing one more time it will be over my dead body!" Liz exlaimed.
"THAT can be arranged!...i am the princess after all" Maria replied with a smirk. Liz huffed. Maria rolled her eyes.
"Oh very well. This dress it is!"
"Excellent!" Liz smiled and began walking back to the door.
"Where are you going?" Maria asked.
"I am going to change" Liz announced and was out the door before Maria could say another word. Maria had really worked her up and she was so tired.
"My sister giving you trouble?" a voice asked behind her. Liz was startled at first but then turned and recognized the voice.
"Max! you scared me!" Liz jumped but was smiling.
"Forgive me but i couldn't help but stay closeby" Max replied quietly and blushed, as did Liz.
"Is there something you wante-" Liz started to ask but before she could finish Max was already crushing her against him in a feverent kiss. He pulled away slowly.
"Just this" he answered her half asked question breathlessly.
"Oh" she could only manage to say.
"and.....I wanted to ask you to the ball ofcourse" Max continued .
"Well i-"
"and if you say no i'm going to keep asking relentlessly until my voice can no longer voice my question and even then i will find other ways to convince you attend it with me" Max interrupted her again.
Liz laughed lightly " Well if you would have allowed me to finish....i was just about to accept your invitation" Liz assured him. Max smiled and leaned in for another kiss.
"You taste so sweet" he whispered against her lips "Tell me where you've been all my life"
"Oh...somewhere..out there " Liz whispered back and kissed him back.
"Well i must go" Liz suddenly announced and detached herself from his arms. Max frowned.
"Why? do you know who long i have been aching to be with you?" Max argued. Liz gave him a sympathetic look.
"Oh i am sorry. I promise i will make it up to you tonight at the ball....and after" Liz whispered in his ear. Max swallowed hard. He looked into her eyes.
"You better" he warned with a raised eyebrow. Liz chuckled and gave him one last passionate kiss before disentagling herself from him and retreating to her room. Max reluctantly allowed her to leave and watched her disappear around the corner.
He would see her at the ball tonight and it will be the most magical night ever, for tonight he shall pledge his love for her infront of the entire country.
