15 years later- Genovia's Palace

'Angela, arrange an appointment with France's Finance Minister. We need to discuss on the repercussions of the European economy.' Mia ordered as she brushed her soft hair in front of a golden framed mirror.

'Yes, Your Highness.' Angela nodded in approval at Mia's efficiency.

'Have you heard from Grandmere?' Mia asked as she moved across the room gracefully and descended down the flight of stairs while Angela, her secretary followed her.

'I received a call from her yesterday. She wants me to inform you that she is currently in Switzerland with her new beau, Duke Winston.' Angela smiled, consulting her PDA.

'Wow. Looks like Grandmere is popular. ' Mia giggled. Mia was still her old self after all, except that she had become more mature, refined and responsible. Grandmere had abandoned her for all time vacation after she was reassured that Mia could handle all the state affairs by herself.

'My father?' Mia asked.

'With Carrie in France.' Angela laughed. Mia smiled at the thought of her soon-to-be-born stepsister. Mia's retired father had met her current wife, a Hollywood actress- Carrie Sasca while travelling in America. Mia had met her thrice before and she seemed nice and friendly. That was one of the main reasons Mia had given her approval for her dad's marriage.

'I hope Carrie rests well. After all, the baby will be born in two months' Mia sighed with worry.

'Yes, your Highness. By the way, Mr and Mrs Gianini have arranged for you to attend Rockey's graduation ceremony next week.'

' Wow.' Mia smiled fondly at the thought of her other step-brother. ' He's a big boy now. Graduating from high school. I sure hope he doesn't get into trouble.'

Flashback- Brief Telephone Conversation between Mia and Rockey

Rockey: Hey sister. Wassup?

Mia: What's up with your language? Are you doing well nowadays? Got into any trouble?

Rockey: Just the same old thing.

Mia: Now, don't you go around cheating innocent girls.

Rockey: So not my fault if they throw themselves at me.

Mia: You remind me so much of that jer-

Rockey: That jerk, Josh what-is-his-name back in your youth? Cool it sister, your story gets boring after a while.

Mia: Mum said you got detention. Is that true?

Rockey: Right but it wasn't my fault. Halloween is supposed to be a legal day for pranks.

'Oh Angela, I forgot to ask you.' Mia frowned. 'Why did Michael ask me to meet him in the private dining room? We rarely eat there unless during special occasions.'

Angela stifled her smile and said, 'Your Majesty wants to give a surprise to Your Highness'

Mia gazed at her puzzled and emerged slowly into the private dining room. It was all dark.

' Michael? Michael?' Mia frowned in puzzlement. Suddenly, the lights went on and Mia blinked in surprise.

There was a whole group of people there- familiar but slightly fuzzy faces to her.

' Oh my gosh ! You guys !' Mia gasped when recognition dawned on her.

Everyone screamed. 'I miss you people so much !'

'Glad you recognise us,' Boris rolled his eyes. He was wearing a casual attire of a t-shirt and jeans. Frankly, he looked much better than ever. His braces were gone and he looked tanned.

'Yea, we thought you might need CPR soon.' Tina grinned. Her olive skinned shone brightly under the bright chandelier lights and Mia noticed that she was clutching Boris' arm.

' You- Boris-' Mia started, pointing at them.

'Oh don't make us blush. We are married of course.' Tina announced proudly.

'Kids?' Mia asked, squinting her eyes.

'Three. All adopted. Come forward my little ones.' Tina cooed and pushed forward three young adolescents who gazed shyly up at Mia. All three were Caucasians but their features were fairly different- blonde hair, brown hair, red hair.

' Hi.' Mia sighed fondly at them. 'Why did you choose to adopt?' She tickled their cheeks while they giggled loudly.

'Boris' idea of saving the world.' Tina rolled her eyes.

' Where's Perin?' Mia looked around.

'She couldn't make it. She's in South Korea, teaching in an orphanage.' Lilly interjected.

' Wow, such a noble cause. I knew she would be a teacher.' Mia nodded approvingly.

' Don't forget about me!' Parisa swaggered as she hugged Mia.

' Of course. Oh great Van-Gogh-to-be!' Mia chuckled, teasing her slightly.

' Don't blame me. My works were fantastic. That's just a cliché name from the media.' Parisa shrugged, beaming with pride. Her eyes sparkled and Mia pried, ' Anyone in your love life?'

' No…' Parisa blushed.

' Speak!' Lilly wagged her finger at her. ' Or torture shall come.'

' Oh. He's just the New York Museum's art curator. Sweet, charming…' Parisa giggled.

' Congratulations. I expect wedding bells will be ringing soon.' Boris smirked. ' To think you actually got hitched.

Parisa slapped him playfully. ' What's that supposed to mean?'

' What about you Lilly?' Tina asked.

' What? What about me?' Lilly asked innocently, examining her nails.

' Throw it out. ' Parisa said menacingly.

' Oh all right. I'm working as a Professor of Psychology in Columbia.' Lilly said reluctantly.

'Love life? ' Mia asked, her eyebrows puckering up in concentration.

'He's a fellow colleague working as the Departmental Head of Environmental Science.' Lilly could not suppress the lighted smile on her face.

' Dating? For how many months?'

' Actually… we are married.' Lilly cringed away.

' What? WHY DID YOU NOT INVITE US TO YOUR WEDDING?' Mia screamed in frustration

' Hey, we wanted a small private ceremony.' Lilly raised her hands defensively. ' Only my parents and Michael came.'

' Michael?' Mia wondered out loud. Come to think of it, she hasn't heard him speak up yet.

' I'm here.' Michael's low voice sounded out from the corner.

He was wearing a tuxedo and he snapped his fingers. ' Music.'

A soft, calming tune flowed into the room as partners hitched up for a dance. Boris and Tina danced in the rhythm of the waltz while Parisa and Lilly made fun by doing weird moves at each other.

' It seems as if everything hasn't changed.' Mia murmured softly as she danced in pace to Michael.

' Yes. So you have enjoyed yourself?' Michael's eyes twinkled.

' Yes. Thank-you for everything.' Mia leant against his chest.

' It seems like a perfect reunion for everyone.' Michael smiled.

' Michael, I love you.'

' I love you too my Princess.'

The End – Happily Forever After
