So, I'm back. Just one or two more chapters till the start of competition-meaning that story is on hiatus till Mid June. I'll be checking reviews and pms so do continue sending OCs
Two weeks later:
Calgary, Rowena POV:
"Have a safe trip Robin," I said as he left to go back to the palace. His vacation had ended. Even though I was sad, I knew I would meet him just after one day.
"See you soon sis," he said as he left the house. It was so silent after he left that Sofia started bouncing on her chair to attract attention. She succeeded as mother turned towards her.
"Who will come now mom?" she asked. Ever since my name was announced in the selected, calls and visits from officials had started. Even today, one had come to go over the rules.
"No one, I hope," I said, really tired out. I went to bed early, knowing that I had to wake early the next day. As I slept, I thought I heard voices, but soon I was in the world of dreams.
The next day, I got up early and got dressed in white shirt and black pants. It was uniform for all selected. I did my hair in a bun and fixed a rose flower in my hair, the flower of my province. Going down, I got a surprise when I saw Robin sitting on the table. However he was dressed in his uniform, which meant that he must be visiting officially.
"How come you're here?" I asked him.
"He came back last night and we wanted to give you a surprise, dear," mom said.
Few hours after Robin left the house:
Robin's POV:
"When will the plane come?" I wondered out loud. I had been waiting for a long time, but no plane had arrived to take me back to Angeles. Just at that moment, I received a call from the Queen.
"Your Majesty," I spoke, after I accepted the call. "Officer Russell speaking."
"Officer Russell," she started to say, "you are still in Calgary?"
"Yes," I replied to her question.
"Good, why don't you stay another night and come tomorrow along with the selected from Calgary," she suggested. "Every selected is to be received by an aid and a guard. We won't have to send a guard here and you can spend one more night with your family."
"Great idea, thank you, Your Majesty," I replied.
"I'll send you the address of the selected..." she started saying.
"Forgive me for interrupting, Your Majesty, but there will be no such need. My twin sister is the one who is selected from Calgary, it will be easy," I interrupted before she could continue.
"That's wonderful. See you tomorrow," she said before ending the call.
Now:
Rowena POV:
After Robin had told us of his conversation with the queen, I was happy. After breakfast, I gave myself a once over before swinging my bag over my shoulder and leaving the house. My friends were already there and they wished me luck before saying good bye. My aid soon arrived and the mayor gave a speech before sending me off. I hugged my parents good bye and kissed my sister on her cheek.
"Be good and don't trouble mom," I said before turning to Derek.
"Good luck sis, see you soon," he said. "There's another meeting coming and I'll be coming, see you then."
"Good bye Derek," I said before turning to Robin. He looked at me and signaled that it was time to go. Waving, I got in the limo and left for the airport. As Calgary was near Angeles, no other selected would be accompanying me, so I could easily talk to Robin.
"Well, we're off," he said after the plane had taken off.
"Right," I said. "Want to play a game?"
"Sure," he replied and I took out the cards that I had packed. We played till the plane landed and then he told me what was to happen next.
Outside the airport, there were many people holding signs with names of the selected. I waved at them and entered another limo, which took me to the palace.
"See you later Rowe," Robin said before leaving to report his return. I saw a young woman at the top of stairs who came down and introduced herself as Rosita, she was supposed to guide us.
"Lady Russell, please follow me. Your things will go to your room," she said. She led me through the palace, pointing out rooms. I had once visited the palace with my family when I was young, so I remembered most of the things. "And this room is..." Rosita stopped in front of a huge room.
"The Women's Room," I spoke before she could say anything. "I've been here before," I explained as she looked confused.
"Right, lets go in," she said, opening the doors. Inside, I saw many mirrors. Someone took my 'before' picture and then I was rushed to have a makeover.
"Ok, so your hair color seems great, we'll just give them a wave and volume," the makeup in-charge said.
I was led by maids to a tub where I was scrubbed till I shone and then my hair was styled. Pink nail polish was applied and then a shimmery gold dress was brought. I gasped as I saw it. The maids helped me get it on and then I chose a Rose perfume. My 'after' picture was taken. After that, I had an interview.
"Lady Russell, right?" the interviewer asked.
"Yes," I replied.
"So what happened since you came?" she asked.
"My hair was given volume and waves and nails painted, otherwise nothing much," I replied.
"Ok, how has the competition been so far?"
"I haven't met any girls as yet and there are none here. I am the first to arrive," I replied.
"Thank you for your time," she said before the interview ended.
Rosita soon came and guided me to my room. It was right in the middle of the floor.
Inside, I gasped as I looked at my room. It was completely green and light blue. Three maid were there and introduced them selves as Cora, Liza and Jane. Cora was my head maid. I looked and saw my bag was already there, so I started unpacking it. I heard chatter and realized more girls had arrived. I left the room to go to the women's room and sat on a couch as the new girls were rushed to the stations. I wondered what was next as I looked around me.
Ok, so I forgot to mention this earlier, those who are wanting there girls pov in next chapter, pls suggest how the makeover should go. What hair colour, dress colour nail polish etc...
