The Palace:

Edward POV:

I'm walking in my room, nervous for the moment when I meet the girls. I can't see them till tomorrow but I hear giggles as they float in the palace. I know they have makeovers today, at least they are far from me. I am a nervous wreck, even though I do not meet them today. But I worry, what will I say, do? What if I don't find the one for me? How did mom and grandpa find their soul mates?

"Ed," I turn to see my younger sister, Nazia peek in. "You scared?"

"No!" I laugh at the thought. "Just nervous."

"But why? You don't meet them till tomorrow," she says.

"Don't know."

"Go and talk to grandpa, maybe he'll help."

"Great idea sis, thanks," I say as I rush out of the room to meet grandfather.

Outside the Palace, in Angeles city

Josephine pov:

"Mother, the aid and guard are here," I yell as I rush down the stairs after looking out of the window and seeing them enter.

"Love you Jo," father says as he looks at me with happiness. "Do your best and be the victor."

"Take care Jo and know we are with you," mother says as she envelopes me in a hug.

I turn to them and wave good bye as I leave my house and enter the limo to take me to the Palace. Besides the uniform of selected, I have a Poppy in my hair. I am escorted till the limo and soon I arrive at the Palace. Since I've lived my whole life here, I've seen it before, but never been inside. Now, I was going in. The limo stopped and I got out to meet a young woman at the door.

"Lady Blakely, I am Rosita, your guide for the palace," she said and then took me on a tour till we reached the women's room.

Inside, I was rushed to a cubicle after my picture where my hair were dyed to vibrant blonde. Red nail polish was applied and soon I was done with my makeover. My red lipstick shone in the next picture and after my interview, I saw a pale skin colored girl with reddish gold hair and in a shimmery gold dress.

"Hi, I'm Jo," I went over to her.

"Hey, I'm Rowe," she said. It was Lady Rowena from Calgary. She wasn't much competition, but what's wrong in making friends. Soon we were talking about our lives and she turned out to be fun.

Rowena POV:

Jo seemed to be a great girl. A tough competition, but still fun.

"Hey," a voice came and we turned to see Lady Adara from Baffin. She had her hair in an elegant bun, her freckles showing of her face. "Mind if I join?"

"Not at all," Jo said as Adara joined us.

Adara POV:

I was nervous, but at least there were some good girls here. I recognized Lady Rowena from Calgary and Lady Josephine from Angeles. They seemed nice so I walked over to them. I felt beautiful as I walked towards them. While the makeover in-charge had suggested changing my freckles, I had declined. My hair was in a bun and the maids had done light makeup.

"Nice hairdo," Rowena said.

"I like her lipstick," Josephine or Jo said.

"Thnx, its a dark berry lipstick," I replied.

"Great, I'll try that out," she said. More girls entered the room just then and I looked at them. Some looked nice, but majority seemed like tough competition.

Edward POV:

"How are you grandpa?" I asked entering his room.

"Great, why are you here?" he asked.

"I have some questions..." I started saying.

"No doubt about the selection," he cut in. "Wondering what to do, who is right, who has some other reason for coming, scared of sending home anyone as it might be your soulmate?" Seeing me nod, he continued, "Your mother had the same worries. Even though she did not want a selection. Just do what your heart says and all will be fine. Even I was worried about it, but then I met your grandmother. Your mother met your father. You'll do great too."

"Thanks grandpa," I said, before turning to leave.

"You might want to work to get your mind of things. It has always worked," he called out before I left.

"Thanks grandpa, just going to work," I said and went to my room. Time to focus more on the girls.

Karma POV:

The door bell rang and I heard my little sister, Andima, yell to mom. They were here to take me to the palace, my life about to change. I kiss my siblings good bye and hug my parents, before leaving the house. The flight was short and soon I was entering the palace with the other girls. A woman introduced her self as Rosita, our tour guide. She led us through the palace, stopping at the women's room. Inside, many girls were already present, but I was rushed to a cubicle after a picture was taken. The maids took out the Anthurium flower from my head. After a soothing bath, my hair was braided in a crown formation and I was given a dark, emerald evening gown. Seeing myself in the mirror, I gasped. I looked breathtaking.

I walked out after my interview and joined Lady Shelby from Hondragua.

"Hi," I said as I approached her. She was wearing very less makeup, but still looked lovely.

"Hey," she said and we started talking about how we felt the competition was like. Lady Josephine was tough competition, according to her.

Shelby POV:

Karma looked lovely as she walked by. Her gown was lovely, but I preferred modern clothes. Ever since I arrived, a lot had happened.

My hair were trimmed and given a deep condition to treat my chloride-ridden hair. To treat the colour, the maids had dyed it with a warm chocolate brown, but it barely showed against my black hair. My eyebrows were plucked and I was given a full-body wax for the first time, as I usually shaved. Then, they gave me a full-body moisturization and a bit of makeup. My nails were painted with a thin coat of glistening pink, and my feet were given a full pedicure.

"So, how are the girls," Karma asked.

"Most are nice, but watch out for Jo."

"Why?"

"She's tough competition. She is friendly, true, but still has an air of determination around her."

"Thanks for the advice," she replied, before Lady Everly joined us with Lady Zoraya. Both of them looked great and already seemed like friends.

Everly POV:

My make over went great. I was given a floor length white gown with white heels. My hair were cut, curled and left open, covering my face. I loved it all. Zoraya was also looking beautiful and we resumed are talk walking towards a couch.

"So, I have only one sister, what about you?" I asked Zoraya as we sat with Ladies Shelby and Karma.

"Two older brothers, two younger sisters and one twin sister," she replied, going in a trance.

Zoraya POV:

At the mention of my twin, I started missing Amani. We both had applied, but I was selected. She had been happy for me, even though she had wanted to be selected. I might have been the same, if I had been in her place.

I was dressed in a sleeveless red gown, with my hair in a bun and golden heels. I loved it a lot, but wondered if my twin would have.

"So, what do you do back home?" I asked Everly.

"I'm a model, what about you?"

"I'm a dancer," I replied.

"Great," she said.

Theodosia POV:

The make over went great. My hair were dyed from brown to blonde and then straightened. A bit of blush, brown mascara, and pink lip gloss was applied to keep things natural. A tea-length, white, with multicolored butterflies dress was given and it was just beautiful. White heels paired it and cornflower blue nail polish was applied.

As soon as my makeover was complete, Rosita called all of us and took us to our rooms. Mine was great and three maids were already there. They introduced themselves as Cecile, Jules and Annamarie and helped me un-pack my things. Tired, I slept on the comfortable bed till dinner time, when I joined the others in the now changed women's room.

Some ones POV:

All the mirrors were gone and couches surrounded the room. I relaxed on one and quickly ate the dinner as I was hungry. The others were still eating and I wanted to be alone, so I left for my room. My maids - I did not even remember their names - helped me undress and then left me alone. Only my head maid - what was her name? - stayed behind as per some sort of custom. Tired, I fell asleep, dreaming of my family clapping as the crown was placed on my head. They were so proud, happy, contended. I had proved them all.

Only one thought remained in my head, after my dream ended...

I'll get there, I'll be the one, I'll be queen, everyone will see, I'll be the winner...

So here's the chapter. Hope none character was portrayed wrongly. Review and advice, see you after a while...

The last POV came from multiple ideas... Those who sent/will send OCs for crown and want this to be their character, pls pm even though I might not read soon. Decision is in my hand as to who this person is and it will be a surprise. To decide if you want this character, you have time till SYOC is closed. One day after, this also closes.

See you soon,

Rowena
