A/N: People this story does not follow the plot line of the musical Once Upon a Mattress that closely it's only about 30% the same.

I don't know how well you know this musical. I was in the cast when my school did this musical last month. I spent 4 days a week doing this play. I know almost every line. Therefore I know were all the differences are, even if you can't tell.

Ex. In the Musical the king is mute-in my story he can talk.

In the musical dauntless is a spoiled baby - in mine James is James.

Spanks to auroransheart, Melly, Daisie , singergurlusa , padfootgrim, and anyone else who read my story!!!

Sorry if I bored you or sounded really stuck-up. Not enough Tylenol.

******************** CHAPTER THREE ********************

James looked at Lily and wondered who she thought she was coming in here like she ruled the place.

"I would be Prince James, the who needs a true princess for a wife. You think your a true princess? Can I see your papers please?"

Lily pulled a scroll out of a wet bag laying at her feet. "Sir Sirius has the rest of my things, this bag fell in with me though." Lily handed the soaked, slightly damaged scroll to James.

James took the scroll, unrolled it, and red. "Princess Lily of Swampanada, guardian of the rare red lily."

The ladies and knights looked at each other as if trying to decide whether or not she was a true princess.

The Queen stood up. "You may be a true princess, I will test you and we will see. By the way, you will the 13th to fail my test!" The Queen stormed out (A/N she does that a lot) with her loyal wizard close behind.

"Just because I fell in the moat doesn't mean I'm not a true princess" Lily said her redhead anger starting to show.

James raised his eyebrow. "It might, a true princess would be perfect, unlike you"

Lily's eyes blazed. "I am a true princess, obviously, I'm much to good to be appreciated here"

The ladies in the court all started yelling for her to stay. The Ladies didn't care if she was a real princess if she could maybe pass the Queen's test"

Remus stepped forward. "Knights, lower the drawbridge for Sirius. Lily, you have a had a long journey please stay a while, let me show you to your room."

Lily looked at Remus skeptically. "And you are..?"

"Oh I'm Sir Remus"

"All right then Sir Remus, show me to my rooms." Lily accented the Sir Remus and accepted Remus' arm as they left the throne room.

Just then Sirius walked in with a lot of luggage. He dropped they bags as Lady Lia ran to him.

"Oh I missed you! Your finally back. Did you have fun? Did you....."Lia started.

"Umm.....look I'll talk to you later OK" Sirius said as he looked around the room for Lily.

"James I'm back! Miss me, of course you did. I........"Sirius started.

"That girl she's so....ahhh......why did you bring her...she can't be a real princess!" James yelled.

Sirius thought James was overreacting to the redhead slightly. He was nice and smart as Sirius had learned on their long journey.

"Sure she is, she's smart too." Sirius smirked.

James rolled his eyes and started to leave the room. The ladies and knights seemed to realize the fun was over and were leaving too.

"James wait" Sirius yelled as he ran out after James.

"Why? Lily is the most annoying person I have ever met. I want her out of here by dawn." James stormed towards his rooms.

"Give her a chance James. I didn't go that far for nothing. You two would be perfect together. Besides, she's hot" Sirius pointed out.

"Ya......fine it's not like she'll pass mother's test any ways"

"That's the spirit!" Sirius smirked.



*****************************************************

"James is really nice, you just have to get to know him." Remus pointed out as they arrived at a oak door. "This is your room, there is a ball tonight you are to attend and James will take you into town to buy a dress later."

"Sure" Lily rolled her eyes "I'll talk to you later then"

Remus opened Lily's door and she walked in. Lily loved the room. The bed was huge and had a canopy. The room was lavender and white. She walked out onto the balcony and saw the huge castle grounds. She loved the castle and wanted to stay here. Although she didn't like James or his mother.

Someone knocked in the door so Lily told them to come in.

It was Sirius.

"Lils! So do you like it here?" Sirius asked.

"It's gorgeous, although James isn't at all as you described him." Lily said.

"Ya well James is like that sometimes. Once you get to know him you'll like him. By the way he'll be here in 2 hours to take you shopping. Oh this is Lia, she'll be your lady in waiting." Sirius said.

Lady Lia walked forwards with a obvious smirk on her face. Sirius left and Lia started to talk.

"Sirius is mine so don't get any ideas. You don't look like a princess at all. I'm prettier than you. You will not last 5 min. in the Queen's test." Lia said with disgust.

"Sure" Lily said sweetly, she didn't like the girl at all. "Are you the one who's pregnant with..."

Lia started laughing. "That stupid boy actually believed me? He is hot and he will marry me. I'm not pregnant though, it was a good excuse to get him to marry me."

"Leave, I have to get ready to go shopping." Lily told the girl.

"Yes Madame" Lia sneered as she curtsied and left the room.

So, Lia really isn't going to have a baby. She's just messing with Sirius. Lily thought as she picked up a piece of paper.

******* Sirius,

Lia really isn't going to have a baby, she is just trying to get you to marry her. I don't like her. Don't marry her.

Lils

***********

Lily attached to letter and tied it to a owl and sent the owl to Sirius.

Then Lily started to get ready to go shopping with James.

No one here seemed to like her, if it weren't for Sirius and Remus she's leave.
