The Next Princess Diaries NOVEMBER PART ONE
November 1, Tuesday Grandpere's
I am really starting to not like my Grandpere in such a short time. I still haven't been able to get to Mass today in honor of All Saints Day and All Souls Day. All I can say Grandpere if I miss Mass today because of you I'm not going to be a happy camper at all. He made my Mom let him give me my princess lessons today. WHY ME? WHY ME? Oh yes I got a call from Rachel today. She wanted to get to know me better because we had never really gotten to talk in all fifteen years of our lives. Rachel is involved in a couple of after school activities at La Cresta High. This is the school were she used to go. She had her last day of school at La Cresta last Friday because she would need to pack and buy stuff so she could come and live with Mom and Dad. She won't be getting my room either thankfully. It's not that I'm greedy. Okay well it's a tiny bit of greed and some meaning to the room that make me thankfull to the fact that she is staying in another room that is conected with Grandpere's suite. Once she gets here she is too soon going to learn about Grandpere's bad ways and poor treatment towards his granddaughter. Mark said that once I call him on his cell phone he will bring and go with me to Mass. Thank you for good hearted boyfriends! Thank you I worship the land that you walk on. Not that I didn't do that before I was his girlfriend and all. But now I do it twice as much. Today at princess lessons Grandpere took me down to the hotel coffee shop. He said we should start out small and work our way up to bigger more expensive places. He checked me on which fork I used to eat certain things. Grandpere used to be this man I used to know who sent me a card with money in it every birthday and holiday. Now I know better he is a tyrant ready to destroy my life. Maybe tyrant is a strong word but something close to that is what my Grandpere is. I wish I didn't seem to dislike Grandpere so much I just saw him for the first time yesterday and already I'm also hating him. I don't want to hate my Grandpere after only one day. But then again HE was the one that said I looked horrible yesterday and made our first meeting a horrible one. Today he thinks I look better because he says that with my drill team uniform tennis shoes are acceptable with nylons. I spent this morning after a three hour sleep brushing my hair nicely. I then put on the "right" makeup. Today we had a drill team practice. Maybe that is one reason why I look presentable. Diana, Willa, and Shellia helped me with my makeup and hair today. Sim and Frank let me have my privacy during practice. They went to a store across the street from S.B.A.P.H.S and spent an amazing two hours there. Thankfully we aren't going to have any big performances soon. Oh yes we do have one but it is for our own school. It is for a November Spirit Assembly. Thanfully we don't put as much pressure on ourselfs if the thing we have is for our own school. Once the excruciating two hour long practice was done Diana and her passe helped me with my makeup and hair as I have said before. They told me all the right colors to choose and shades. For once I have to be thankful to Diana for her help. This time Grandpere said I looked much better. Mom went out to buy uniform stuff for Rachel. Rachel I found out that day is going to be going to school with me. So I'm waiting here for Mark to show up. I just had Frank call him. He said he'd be here soon. I'm going to clean up again. I'm going to brush my hair out and re-apply some makeup right now.
November 2, 2a.m. Wednesday Grandmother's
Grandmother just found out that Mark is now my boyfriend and she wants to talk about him and me. I told her not to worry which I shouldn't have said. She is now worrying about me even more. She says that I shouldn't be involved in such a serious relationship until I turn sixteen. I explained it to her that I loved Mark and that he loves me. She said that I could never be sure if Mark will ever hurt me. I responded to this remark that Mark in the past two days has more than enough opportiunity to hurt me which he hasn't. She says she'll have a talk with Mom about this. Hopefully Mom will see eye to eye with me and accept Mark. After all her and Dad are still happy and it is almost the same thing that is going on with Mark and I. After Mass today Mark gave me back the uniform that Sara borrowed from me yesterday. Oops! Grandmother is now coming in I have to write off.
Wednesday Study Hall
So Mom wants me to go shopping for a gift for Aunt Lilly who will be spending the upcoming weekend with us so she can get Rachel settled in. Carrie and Nina told me today that before I got to school that Diana made another pass at Mark. I'll be in Diana's debt for sometime so I can't get that furious over what she did. She just has to learn that Mark and I are boyfriend and girlfriend now. At break today Frank and Sim protected me. It was pretty odd today to have them come with me to school. They don't need any guest passes thankfully. But I was wondering if Mrs. Capra was disapointed Sim is pretty good looking for his age. Not that Frank isn't but Sim stands out more I guess. Reporters were in front of our school today. It was totally embarrassing to know that they were there for me. Principal Evans kicked them off the property. So they are waiting on the sidewalk waiting for school to let out. They are in for a joke because I won't be coming out right after school. Thank you drill team practices. Today also practice is going to be inside the gym so they can't spy on me from the outside. Sara reminded me that I had promised her that I would sit with her, Carrie, Nina, Jason, Heather, and Calvin today at lunch. When ever a student asks me about what club I'm in today I first mention that I'm Vice President of Creative Writting. They then say that they will consider joining Creative Writting. Mark gave me a special gift today in honor of our becoming boyfriend and girlfriend. He got me a diamond ring. Honestly the diamond wasn't fake. I asked him if he got from the same place were he got my pearl necklace. He said that was his little secret. He's so romantic. I should get working on something Mrs. Richer is looking at me oddly.
Wednesday English
Okay I now know why Mrs. Richer is looking at me oddly. Besides the fact that I'm a princess she wants me to write something for the paper which she also is the moderator for. I told her that I wasn't sure if I'm comfortable writting something so soon after everyone knows that I'm a princess and all. Okay so I am Princess Ellisabeth Amelia Mignonette Grimaldi Helen Moscovitz Renalod just because I developed four extra names and the title Princess Ellisabeth everyone doesn't have to treat me differently. But they still do. I personally don't understand it. One day you know something like your a prince or a princess and the next day everyone else knows it and they treat you like your a Goddess or something. Sara's mother who is a pshycaratist told me that this is something called self image or something like that. Sara's dad is a teen and pediatrics doctor. I see him some times when I get sick like the time my throat got so swollen that I could barely talk last year. He ended up having my anoids removed last year because they had been infected four times in the previous month. Now I feel better because those anoids are gone from my mouth not causing me to get much more swollen throats.
Later Wednesday Grandmother's place 11:30
Okay after princess lessons today which were with Mom today I started to not feel so hot. Once I got home I definatly was getting feverish. Grandmother took my temprateture. It was pretty high. I'm keeping a chart of the temprateture. Grandmother says that if it rises or stays the same I won't be able to go to school tommorow.
Temprature Chart:
6:30 pm: 101.9
8:00 pm: 102.3
10:00 pm:102.5
Okay so it's apparent that I'm not getting better. I can barely stay up and write right now at this moment. I'm taking my temprature again.
11:30 pm:102.6
Ohh great I'm not going to school tommorow. Tired Mom just came an hour ago to be with me and take care of me. I have to go now.
November 3 Thursday Mom's
So I was forced to come here because Grandmother had to go shopping for some canvases and stuff. Therefor my Mom didn't want me to be alone because some one might possibly abuct me and hold me for a big randsome. As you could see from the last time I wrote I'm pretty delirious. This morning Grandmother took my temprature guess what?
6:30 am: 102.7
My fever is getting higher and higher. Grandmother wants to take me to Dr.Fisher(Sara's Dad) so he can take a look at me. Oh great so I'm going to my best friends' and my boyfriends' Dad so he can see me all delirous. No wait, I'm not going through with this no matter how much Grandmother bribs me. So I might go if Grandmother bribes me with a hundred dollar bill. Grandpere just came in he wants me to get a checkup too, he bribed me with guess what? He bribed me with five hundred dollars. I guess I'm going to see Dr. Fisher for a measly five hundred dollars. Grandpere also was kinda nice to me in the Grandfatherly way. Grandpere just took my temp. Yup higher
10:30 am: 102.8
Mom, Dad, and him are brining me to Dr. Fishers'. I hope I can give them the right directions in my physical state right now of weakness.
Thursday Santa Monica Hospital
Yup that's right I'm in the hospital my fever got to high. By the time we reached Dr. Fisher's which took about two and half hours because I kept on messing up with giving directions to Dr. Fisher's. My fever reached a high peak point of 104.3. Gosh I was doing major burning. So Dr. Fisher wants me to stay in the hospital here for the next three days. He says that possibly I contracted a bactrial infection that has spread through my body. So they now have me on an I.V. with medicine. My last temprature was 104.4. It's going up still even with the medicine. I asked the nurse about this and she said it would take about two hours for the medicine to show big results and that at first the medicine's natural reaction is to make your temprature go up by two deggres. Sara and Mark are going to visit me after school. I hope that they don't tip off the reporters to were I am and cause them to come here and take pictures of me in my night gown. Right now I'm freazing but if I put on my heavy blanket I get to hot and I burn. Sim and Frank are in my room watching to make sure that no evil spy comes in and captures me. It was kind of embarrassing having them see me in this nighty I'm wearing right now. It's one that Mom changed me into so it wouldn't be able to be coinsidered a night gown. She could fool me, it is so sluty it showes off what little chest I own and it is sheer at the bottom. WHY ME? WHY ME? WHY ME?
Thursday in my hospital room
I can barely be up to write. I can't belive Grandpere let one reporter up to take my picture here in the hospital. I honestly can't. The nurse says that it's time for me to take a nap. She says that I have to nap or my medicine won't work as well as it should. My temprature thankfully actually stayed at 104.4. But I have to start getting sleep or it could be worse. Frank went out to get a capachino. Sim also went out to get a copy of the newspaper from the gift shop. Mom and Dad decided that they were hungry too and left the hospital to go have lunch. Grandpere thought that he was getting tired so he left for the hotel to call Grandmother and tell her that I'm in the hospital. The nurse just came in she isn't too thirlled about having someone like me,
Princess Ellisabeth Amelia Mignonette Grimaldi Helen Moscovitz Renalod as one of her patients she thinks I'm snobby. She ended up delivering my lunch for me. I haven't eaten anything since last night. This morning I couldn't eat I was so feverish. I'm still not hungry but she's forcing me to eat so I can get better. But before I had my ew ick hospital lunch she took my temprature. It went up to 104.6. I can't belive it. She says that I'm in the right place now because at least they can do something about it. So in three hours if my temprature doesn't go down they are going to give me a stronger medicine in my I.V. tube. Did I mention that it is a pain in the butt to go to the restroom with this I.V.?
Later Thursday
Mark and Sara just visited me after I had a two hour nap. My temprature is still 104.6 but it hasn't gone terribly up. Mark says that if they put a stronger medicine in that I'll get better quicker. I'm just about ready to pass out here. Sara being the genius she is brought me all my assignments for my class. Thanks Sara for putting my school work in front of my mental state. Grandmother knew the right thing to bring me. She brought me a couple of issues of SEVENTEEN that I own. She told me that I should read the girl's worst days and then think which is worse my day or theirs. This suggestion wasn't too helpfull I wasn't in the mood for jokes. Grandpere came back he keeps on hitting on the nurses that help me out. In all honesty I'm thanful to the fact that the first nurse is gone. She was relived of her duties when another nurse came who is much more Grandmother type material. Mom and Dad came back while I was asleep. Dad bought me a GET WELL card and balloon. Mom bought me a crystal necklace. It was really pretty but I couldn't accept it. I told Mom to return it. But she forced me to keep it. Now I have a whole collection of jewlry. Before Mark got me that diamond necklace Sunday I had no interest whatsoever in jewlry now I have a bunch of pricless pieces of jewlry I found out that the crystals that are on the braclet are really rare and valuable. Why is Mom buying me stuff like this she knows that I don't like jewlry. Okay I just had my temprature taken again. OH GOD! It went up to 104.7. They are trying to find a stronger medicine now. WHY ME? WHY ME? WHY ME? WHY ME?
Thursday 7 p.m.
I finally got a roomate around fourish. It is a girl named Domnique. She's cool. She's here cause she just had her apendix removed. It was totally embarrassing when she first got here. Sim and Frank had to check her out to see if she was a spy or something just for my own safety and the safety of Genovia. Domnique was really cool about it though. She says that it is way cool to be sharing a hospital room with a celebrity like me. She wanted my autograph. Also she asked it I would call her Domi. Domi is her nickname she says you say it not like dumby but Do me. Grandmother brought me pictures of us all so I can put them by my bed. I showed Domi a picture of Mark. She thought that he was hot. She wished she had a boyfriend. I told her that I personally thought that she was too cool to need a boyfriend. Guess what? She actually likes the same articels in SEVENTEEN. We laughed at the embarrassing moments. Domi kept on staring at Sim. Sim was playing with the buttons on his shirt which exposed his chest sometimes. At these moments Domi would blush and get all girlish on me. Okay I just got my temprature taken AGAIN for like the fifteenth time this day. Well it didn't go down is all I can say yes it went up to 104.8. The doctors are now seeing if they put the wrong medicine in my I.V. tube. They better not have screwed up because I will have to get a new pack put on and that would be bad. Geez I just noticed that today when Mark came to visit I didn't get embarrassed about him seeing me in my sultry nightgown thanks to Mom. Grandmother is bringing my favorite night gown tommorow. This hospital food stinks. For lunch I had broth, tea, and jello. For dinner just an hour ago I had dried and over cooked vegtables. This came along with a limp salad. I told them about my vegtarianism and they at least respected this. The only good thing was desert which was ice cream. They only gave me ice cream so that hopefull they can bring my fever down naturally. Good luck on this one Drs. Oops! Dr. Fisher is here. He wants to see what medicine I have more latter.
Thursday 11:00
I can't sleep here in the hospital even at night. It's too noisey. They are constantly making annoucments for doctors on the P.A. system at night and they are also coming in constantly to talk to you to see if you are okay. Especially the younger nurses who want to see a certain princess' body guard who happens to be on the fairly hot side for his age. Also some of the older yet not too old nurses come in to take a peak at Frank. Frank and Sim kind of liking the attention that the nurses are giving them. I have to keep on asking them along with Domi to take conversations with the nurses outside so we can get a couple of hours worth of sleep. Dr. Fisher said that it indead is the wrong medicine. Guess what? They don't have the proper medicine right now. They are going to have to specially order it for me. It could take two days for it to come in. But for the time being they are going to put me on a dose a day of Tyenol to bring my fever down to at least 104.5. I can wish them good luck on this. Last night Mom tried to give me Tyenol to bring my fever down. It didn't work at all as you can see. Domi just said that she's going to go and sneak down the hall for a walk. She says that she hates being in bed for long periods of time. I told her to tell me what is going on(It would be to hard to sneak out with my IV attached to me actually Domi has an IV hooked up to her too. I wonder how she's going to sneak out. I'm really curious so I'll go with her. Heck if I do get caught I'll have Grandpere give them a hundred bucks for the inconvince. After all what does it mean to be a princess and not use the benifits of being one? I Princess Ellisabeth Amelia Mignonette Grimaldi Helen Moscovitz Renalod am going to try to get some sleep after Domi and I sneak out.
November 4, Friday
I'm getting a tiny bit better. My fever went from 104.8 to 104.7. It's like I don't know six in the morning. Thank you God for letting this happen. The nurses are now sad that Sim and Frank had to leave around eleven thirty. They are begging me to ask them to come back. Grandmother came around five thirty. She brought me a new better nightgown. Now I'm not fully exposed to the human world. Domi is going home in three days. I won't be going home now until three days after my medicine packet comes in. The recent update in the medicine delivery is that it's going to come late tommorow. Domi says that we should go to the playroom and get out of our boring room. Grandmother wants me to stay in bed though. I just found out that Grandpere came in around tweleve thirty and left around five o'clock. I didn't think my Grandpere would be that nice to me after I've been a snot. Ohh great I get to cancel going to Diana's sleepover tonight. I just told Grandmother this and she says she'll call Diana and explain everything. I'm tired again signing off.
Later Friday 8 a.m.
I guess I don't have to explain it to Diana. The reporter's picture that he took of me yesterday while I was laying here in agony is on the cover of the L.A. Times. I'm so lame. The articel explained that I had caught some deadly virus that could kill me. That is a bunch of garbage. The articel went on to explain that the whole Genovian Royality Line is in danger. Oh please someone shoot me. I think I'm going to be sicker than I am already. My temprature is asteady 104.7 still. Mom and Dad came back around seven while I was sleeping off my fever. Mom apologized for the photo. She said she'd have a talk with Grandpere about taking pictures of me while I'm in a weak phsyical state like this. Go Mom! Dad bought me a box of choclates. He said that I can have them instead of having the hospital food. I'm getting tired again.
Friday 4:00 p.m.
Mark and Sara are supposed to show up soon. Mom and Dad are still here. Grandmother came back but only stayed for about two hours. I think she has confrotational issues regarding hospitals. I don't know why though. Sim and Frank came back also. My temprature is back up to 104.8 even with the Tyenol. Grandmother and Grandpere who also came back bullied the doctors about when the medicine is going to come in. Mom is too rational for this. I got a call around lunchtime. It was Diana, Shellia, Willa and the rest of the group. They were wishing me a fast and smooth recovery. Sara, Mark, Heather, and Nina also called. Sara gave me my homework assignments that I'm missing so far. Thank you Sara for putting homework before my health. Carrie called me on her cell phone. She wanted to know how I was doing and if I am getting any better. I told her not really and she got really scared. She's coming over tommorow she says. Nina and Heather are going to come over Sunday. I also noticed that I'm going to miss Mass and Confirmation classes this week. This is a big bummer because I like both. Mark gave me a special call this morning after I woke up from my ten minute nap. School doesn't start until like eight thirty at S.B.A.P.H.S I was really happy he said to check my email around ten. I asked Dad if he would go back and get my laptop for me. He was being really nice and aggreed to get it for me. Domi was stunned at the fact I owned a laptop. I told her that it was a gift. I explained the situation to her. She understood. After an hour Dad came back with my laptop. Domi and I got bored around nine o'clock so we hooked the modem up to my laptop. We got online through her account which was DieHardGirl. We checked her email first. She has a lot of guys that like her. Why wouldn't they? She's got a size C cup, she's thin, not anorexic, pretty faced, and cool. Apparently at her school they are having a Thanksgiving dance event and five guys were asking her if they could go out with her. Once we were done with that she got an Instant Message from someone called ShesAllThat. Here's how the conversation went:
DieHardGirl: Hey Laura! Guess who I'm sharing a room with here?
SHESALLTHAT:Who?
DieHardGirl:Princess Ellisabeth Amelia Mignonette Grimaldi Helen Moscovitz Renalod.
ShesAllThat:No you are so kidding me aren't you?
DieHardGirl:Yes Ellisa say hi.
DieHardGirl(As my own voice): Hi yup it's me Princess Ellisabeth Amelia Mignonette Grimaldi Helen Moscovitz Renalod. Ellisa for short. I came
down with a really high fever and I now have to stay in the hospital
untill it goes down.
ShesAllThat:Cool! Domi can I tell her the news at our school.
DieHardGirl:I guess so. Ellisa just don't get a swelled head from this.
ShesAllThat: Well all the guys at our school want to date you. They
think you'r totally hot.
Me hot? Really who is she kidding? Wait maybe guys outside of Mark really think I'm truly hot. Or maybe all the guys at Domi and Laura's school are nuts or something. I know I'm not hot. This converstation went on until Laura had to log off because her study hall was ending. It turns out that all the guys that go to Laura and Domi's school want to find out my email account and ask me out to the Festive Dance(the thing they were all asking Domi out to). Grandpere stoped bulling the doctors along with Grandmother after this converstation and left. I couldn't blame them without my laptop the hospital is pretty boring. Frank left Sim on duty to guard me. Mom left. Dad stayed with Sim. He offered to buy me some more choclate. The last box he gave me I had finished up in seconds of reciving it. I told him that I wanted actual food but I said thank you for offering to buy me choclate. But after looking at Domi I knew what I wanted to do. I had Sim get a camera from the gift shop downstairs. It was a disposabel one. Once he got the camera I asked Dad to take a picture of Domi and I by one another. I also ripped a page from this book out and autographed it for Domi. This would prove to a even a non beliver that Domi had shared a room with me. At Domi's school I guess word gets around fast because the next thing I knew the nurses were rationing the ammount of visitors Domi had more than 3/4 of them were boys who came and started flirting with me. But they stoped after I told them about Mark. Before that happend though I went on to my account around ten and I got an email with a link on it. It opend up to a digital get well card that had a ten dollar gift certificate to Borders. A message was on the gift certificate that asked once I was better if I would go with Mark to Borders and spend the gift. I emailed back to him yes I would love to. Some of the guys from Domi's school are still terribly bold. They kept on hitting on me, especially Saven. Apparently Saven is the popularest boy in Domi's school. But after Sim and Frank made a gesture that sent out to Saven that he was close to getting kicked out he stoped and left us. Apparently at Marshall(Domi's school) they have scheduals were you can leave campus for sometime. I personally wish that I could do this at S.B.A.P.H.S but no they won't it's a private school. They have to live up to higher expectations in their students. They can't be like the public schools. Sevan still emailed me though later after lunch. I forward the message to Mark having him take care of the problem. Mark would solve the problem for me. Mark is extremely atheltic even if he isn't on the track or sports teams. Aunt Lilly called me today. She is terribly sorry that she won't be able to be with me as much as she planned for us to be togther because of my stay in the hospital. Stupid, stupid fever. Oh about fevers a nurse is here.
Saturday Morning 9 a.m.
Great this is just great. Guess what? No, I won't keep you guessing; my fever went up. It went way up. It went up to 105.4. I'm not kidding. Whatever I got it is strong and it won't go away. God please help me get over this. It sucks feeling sick enough to be in the hospital. Mark came today with a bunch of roses. All togther there where five big ones with four tiny ones. It was so sweet. He said that each big one stood for 105. Then the four small ones stood for the 4 deggress. He is so romantic. Grandmother and Grandpere bought us all a nice fancy dinner. It was cool having such a nice dinner in the hospital. Saven came in to start flirting with me when Mark was there. When he learned that Mark was my boyfriend he shut up and started flirting with Domi. He is such a player. Mark stayed with me until like six thirty that is when visitors that are not family have to leave the hospital. Mom and Dad aggreed with Sim and Frank that they would stay with me tonight. Sim and Frank got the night off finally after having to spend the past two days with me. I think that they are glad to be having a night off from supervising me. It was hard for me to fall asleep I kept on having bizarre and odd dreams but everytime Mom sang to me. Dad had some warm milk brought in for me. That put me out for some time. But I woke up at about four in the morning. I was terribly hot and pushed off my covers. Mom and Dad were sleeping in a sitting postion. Domi was sleeping also. So I got my laptop and started web surfing. I was terribly delirious the doctors think that my temprature was at an all time high of 106 when I did this but I typed in my name on a search engine of some sort and all of a sudden I saw a thousand fan pages up. I wish I was delrious but I wasn't half of them were guys. They were making collections so that they could send me a big present. I actually signed the guest books. I wrote that thank you for the present collections and to add proof I did something that only I could do which is copy the royal sign of Genovia and pasted it to my signatures. Boy I wonder what these people are going to think once they see their guest books. I started feeling tired again and fell asleep I didn't wake up till six thirty. Mom and Dad were up they had placed my laptop by my bed and moved it out of the way. I needed to use the bathroom and Mom helped me wheel my I.V. into the rest room. This was on one scale embarrassing. But why should I worry it's my Mom after all. And thankfully I'm wearing a night gown that covers up my body. I took a good look at myself in the mirror. Help me! I looked like a wreak. My hair was very, very, very messy. I was very, very, very, very, pale. I had extremely puffy red eyes. Dr. Fisher came in once I had time to put some makeup on. He thought that maybe I'd have to have a surgery because he thinks that something is totally inflamed and infected. He says he'll run tests later today. Mark came in after him. Mark offerred to get me breakfast. I told him I wasn't feeling really especially hungry at that moment. He understood. He had to leave for a meeting with Father Glen the pastor at our church. Mark is now applying to run the Confirmation program with Sister Gwenth. I think that Mark will be a great teacher. Oops! I have to go Dr. Fisher is back and wants to run the tests right now.
Saturday After Tests
The tests didn't go so well. Dr. Fisher now knows that it's an infected spleen. Oh great I now have an infected spleen. He says that I can do perfectly well without my spleen but that we'll have to have the operation tonight or else it could burst and cause infection to all my important body parts. Dear God please let me get through this. I know that it won't be to terrible. I know that this is a light surgery and that I probably won't die but there is still a chance that I might wake up in the middle of the surgery and have so much pain that I won't be able to take it all. I now have a lot to live for. My boyfriend the people that truly care and have concern for me.
Saturday Later
So I'm going into surgery in four hours. It's like twelve o' clock. The doctors are going to put me under the antestia soon. Dr. Fisher said that the doctor that deals with antestia has never messed up once in his whole ten years of dealing with the stuff. Grandmother came to visit right as I got the news. She's now in histerics. She thinks she'll loose me. Thanks alot Grandmother just the comfort and support I need right now. Mom and Dad are taking it pretty well. Mom says that I shouldn't worry and that they won't do anything wrong. Dad says to pray and God will protect me. Dad is Jewish so he belives in at least a God and praying. Grandpere says that if I get out of it he'll take me to Disneyland soon. Thanks Grandpere for the same confidence as Grandmother, really thanks. Ohh no. A guy is here in a white coat his name on the coat says Dr. Erins. Dr. Erins is the antestia doctor that Dr. Fisher was telling me about. I know that I got my anoids out perfectly okay but this is different they have to and cut open my stomach. I pray unto you God grant me protection during this time.
Mia Thermopolis- Moscovitz
Saturday Later
Hello Ellisa's diary or journal. It's very odd to write like this again. I used to keep a diary when I was Ellisa's age. Ellisa asked me to write for her because right now she's under antestia. Oh my God my daughter is going to be operated on! But I can't let her know I worry. She's pretty scared herself. A mother is supposed to be supportive of her child. Mom and my dad are being over protective of Ellisa. Especially Mom. She keeps on bugging me asking me things like on how I raise Ellisa right now. I raised my mom for most of my life. If I wasn't there for her she would have completely forgoten to buy stuff like toliet paper. So now she's having doubts about the fact that I raise Ellisa. This means that I have to be doublly responsible right now. Michael is being so supportive to Ellisa. I wonder at times if he wanted a boy. I keep on asking him this and he keeps on saying that he is thirlled that we had a girl. But he orginally wanted to name her Cassandra. I don't know why he wanted this in the first place. Oh my God I had to push back Lilly and Rachel's arrival. But it is for the best. Until Ellisa's out of the hospital I can't be responsible for having guests. My dad keeps on nagging me to let the press take pictures of Ellisa and me togther while she's here looking sickly. He thinks it will boost and support this family closness and good parenting idea into the media. My God this would totally top the cake about the whole princess thing. I don't want Ellisa to go through with this. She's in the hospital right now under antestia, my dad has no respect for the current situation. Thankfully I now am able to take a stand against him and my fellow beings. The doctor I think it's Dr. Fisher is here. He says that they are ready to opperate on Ellisa.
Ellisa Moscovitz
November 6, Sunday The Recovery Room
Mom brought this to me in the Recovery Room. I just am coming out of the antestia. My surgery went okay aparently. The Recovery Room is a big room with a couple of other people in it with me. A nurse named Matthew is standing guard over me. He's not happy that Mom brought this to me. He wants me to rest right now. My last temprature which Matthew just took is 104.5. Yes! It's going down a lot. Matthew says that I'll probably have to spend three to four more days here in the hospital. This is just great. I just saw Grandpere at the window from the main hall. Guess who was with him? Two photographers from the media. He was speaking with them about something. Thank you Grandpere for making this a big event. I can see the headline coming from this: The Genovian Throne Preserved Princess Ellisabeth Amelia Mignonette Grimaldi Helen Moscovitz Renalod Recovering. Er maybe something more calm and tame could be the title. Who am I kidding? With Grandpere feeding them the facts they could get the whole story at a bigger more dramatic point of view. I was just noticing how many new names have I gotten now? Four yup four new names complementary of me being a princess. I think I was totally delirous just a couple of minutes ago. I told Matthew that if I wasn't dating Mark that I'd go out with him sometime. I could guess that he was looking at me really oddly. I know what he was thinking when I told him this (Crazy nut case princess) ohh yes that is deffinately what he's probably thinking right now. I just wish that Mom would have another kid so I wouldn't have to be a princess. If I wasn't a princess I could have just been another regular girl in the hospital not Princess Ellisabeth in the hospital. No I would have just been regular plain Jane and not have to have a single worry about being in the hospital.
Later Sunday
I am truly thankfull to Mark. He brought me Communion. Yes I was really touched. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to recive Communion today because I'm here. But Mark solved that problem for me. After Mass he asked me the priest if he could bring me a host and the rest of the blood. He's so romantic. Domi felt kind of odd when I recived Communion today. Domi says that she'll probably be going home the day after tommorow or late tommorow. She's so lucky. I'd switch places with her any day of the week. Domi says that she would want to be me. I wonder if she would want to be in my shoes having her picture taken while she's in the hospital. Okay maybe I'm being to mean or something like that to her. She's not the one who's having the media do this to her. So Mom told me today that she put off Rachel's arrival because of me being sick and in the hospital. This was not the news I wanted to hear. I want Rachel to come. I want some one who is family that I can talk about things with. I know that Sara's my best friend and all but there are just somethings you leave up to the family you have. In my situation Rachel is now going to become that family. I'm getting tired again. My temprature has gone down to 104.2! Yes!!!! I'm going home in three days! More yes cries.
November 7, Monday Night
Sara came today. Mark couldn't come because he had to do studying. Sim and Frank are also back well only one of them at a time. Saven just happend to drop by today.

November 8, Tuesday Night
Domi left very, very, very, very, early this morning around four. I was really sad. I'm going to miss her alot. At least we have eachother's email address. Frank and Sim also were kind of sad to see Domi leave. Domi's a good person, honestly she is. I also think in Frank and Sim's case they did think she was kind of hot for her age. I want to go home too. I wasn't abel to finish all my homework from yesterday and today I've got another whole load to add to the load I allready have on my back. Time went very, very, very slowly without Domi before Sara and Mark came to visit again. Mark brought me some good food for today. He brought me KFC. When Grandpere came to visit me today along with Mom, Dad, and Grandmother I reminded him of his promise to take me to Disneyland. When I reminded him of this he looked at my Mom with a crest fallen look. I knew something was wrong.
"Mom what's wrong?" I asked my Mom.
"Well Ellisa this is going to be hard telling you this," Mom said in a sad kind of voice.
"Dad do you know what's going on?" I took a quick peak at him and Grandmother for answers to this mystery.
"Well Ellisa now that you are offically a princess who needs to be protected when you do go to Disneyland the whole park will be closed down and only twenty of your close friends can come along not including Sim, Frank, Grandpere, your Dad, your Grandmother, and I. I'm really sorry honey but this is the way it is when you are a princess," Mom said sadly. Oh great I can't go to Disneyland like a normal kid anymore.
"Ellisabeth, I have a wonderful suggestion for you on the day we go to Disneyland. How about you save two spots and you give them as grand prizes to the local or national media centers so that people can win a chance to go with you to Disneyland for a day. It will be a wonderfull prize," Grandpere said. Oh yes Grandpere let's just boost up my fame. This realy has given me some confidence. Only I could ever get this lucky to be able to offer such a wonderfull prize to the nation. -Ellisa
Hello readers. I know this sounds like I'm copying what is going on in Mia's life but I try to have some creativity. If you flame or mist do it gently. Author's Note: About the whole Mia having a half sibling, I just figured that it would be complicated to add it here so just think that the baby had a miscariage or something like that. I haven't seen any reviews go up yet but thanks for any reviews that will come. I'm not the world's greatest speller and grammar person but I try. -Thanx!
November 1, Tuesday Grandpere's
I am really starting to not like my Grandpere in such a short time. I still haven't been able to get to Mass today in honor of All Saints Day and All Souls Day. All I can say Grandpere if I miss Mass today because of you I'm not going to be a happy camper at all. He made my Mom let him give me my princess lessons today. WHY ME? WHY ME? Oh yes I got a call from Rachel today. She wanted to get to know me better because we had never really gotten to talk in all fifteen years of our lives. Rachel is involved in a couple of after school activities at La Cresta High. This is the school were she used to go. She had her last day of school at La Cresta last Friday because she would need to pack and buy stuff so she could come and live with Mom and Dad. She won't be getting my room either thankfully. It's not that I'm greedy. Okay well it's a tiny bit of greed and some meaning to the room that make me thankfull to the fact that she is staying in another room that is conected with Grandpere's suite. Once she gets here she is too soon going to learn about Grandpere's bad ways and poor treatment towards his granddaughter. Mark said that once I call him on his cell phone he will bring and go with me to Mass. Thank you for good hearted boyfriends! Thank you I worship the land that you walk on. Not that I didn't do that before I was his girlfriend and all. But now I do it twice as much. Today at princess lessons Grandpere took me down to the hotel coffee shop. He said we should start out small and work our way up to bigger more expensive places. He checked me on which fork I used to eat certain things. Grandpere used to be this man I used to know who sent me a card with money in it every birthday and holiday. Now I know better he is a tyrant ready to destroy my life. Maybe tyrant is a strong word but something close to that is what my Grandpere is. I wish I didn't seem to dislike Grandpere so much I just saw him for the first time yesterday and already I'm also hating him. I don't want to hate my Grandpere after only one day. But then again HE was the one that said I looked horrible yesterday and made our first meeting a horrible one. Today he thinks I look better because he says that with my drill team uniform tennis shoes are acceptable with nylons. I spent this morning after a three hour sleep brushing my hair nicely. I then put on the "right" makeup. Today we had a drill team practice. Maybe that is one reason why I look presentable. Diana, Willa, and Shellia helped me with my makeup and hair today. Sim and Frank let me have my privacy during practice. They went to a store across the street from S.B.A.P.H.S and spent an amazing two hours there. Thankfully we aren't going to have any big performances soon. Oh yes we do have one but it is for our own school. It is for a November Spirit Assembly. Thanfully we don't put as much pressure on ourselfs if the thing we have is for our own school. Once the excruciating two hour long practice was done Diana and her passe helped me with my makeup and hair as I have said before. They told me all the right colors to choose and shades. For once I have to be thankful to Diana for her help. This time Grandpere said I looked much better. Mom went out to buy uniform stuff for Rachel. Rachel I found out that day is going to be going to school with me. So I'm waiting here for Mark to show up. I just had Frank call him. He said he'd be here soon. I'm going to clean up again. I'm going to brush my hair out and re-apply some makeup right now.
November 2, 2a.m. Wednesday Grandmother's
Grandmother just found out that Mark is now my boyfriend and she wants to talk about him and me. I told her not to worry which I shouldn't have said. She is now worrying about me even more. She says that I shouldn't be involved in such a serious relationship until I turn sixteen. I explained it to her that I loved Mark and that he loves me. She said that I could never be sure if Mark will ever hurt me. I responded to this remark that Mark in the past two days has more than enough opportiunity to hurt me which he hasn't. She says she'll have a talk with Mom about this. Hopefully Mom will see eye to eye with me and accept Mark. After all her and Dad are still happy and it is almost the same thing that is going on with Mark and I. After Mass today Mark gave me back the uniform that Sara borrowed from me yesterday. Oops! Grandmother is now coming in I have to write off.
Wednesday Study Hall
So Mom wants me to go shopping for a gift for Aunt Lilly who will be spending the upcoming weekend with us so she can get Rachel settled in. Carrie and Nina told me today that before I got to school that Diana made another pass at Mark. I'll be in Diana's debt for sometime so I can't get that furious over what she did. She just has to learn that Mark and I are boyfriend and girlfriend now. At break today Frank and Sim protected me. It was pretty odd today to have them come with me to school. They don't need any guest passes thankfully. But I was wondering if Mrs. Capra was disapointed Sim is pretty good looking for his age. Not that Frank isn't but Sim stands out more I guess. Reporters were in front of our school today. It was totally embarrassing to know that they were there for me. Principal Evans kicked them off the property. So they are waiting on the sidewalk waiting for school to let out. They are in for a joke because I won't be coming out right after school. Thank you drill team practices. Today also practice is going to be inside the gym so they can't spy on me from the outside. Sara reminded me that I had promised her that I would sit with her, Carrie, Nina, Jason, Heather, and Calvin today at lunch. When ever a student asks me about what club I'm in today I first mention that I'm Vice President of Creative Writting. They then say that they will consider joining Creative Writting. Mark gave me a special gift today in honor of our becoming boyfriend and girlfriend. He got me a diamond ring. Honestly the diamond wasn't fake. I asked him if he got from the same place were he got my pearl necklace. He said that was his little secret. He's so romantic. I should get working on something Mrs. Richer is looking at me oddly.
Wednesday English
Okay I now know why Mrs. Richer is looking at me oddly. Besides the fact that I'm a princess she wants me to write something for the paper which she also is the moderator for. I told her that I wasn't sure if I'm comfortable writting something so soon after everyone knows that I'm a princess and all. Okay so I am Princess Ellisabeth Amelia Mignonette Grimaldi Helen Moscovitz Renalod just because I developed four extra names and the title Princess Ellisabeth everyone doesn't have to treat me differently. But they still do. I personally don't understand it. One day you know something like your a prince or a princess and the next day everyone else knows it and they treat you like your a Goddess or something. Sara's mother who is a pshycaratist told me that this is something called self image or something like that. Sara's dad is a teen and pediatrics doctor. I see him some times when I get sick like the time my throat got so swollen that I could barely talk last year. He ended up having my anoids removed last year because they had been infected four times in the previous month. Now I feel better because those anoids are gone from my mouth not causing me to get much more swollen throats.
Later Wednesday Grandmother's place 11:30
Okay after princess lessons today which were with Mom today I started to not feel so hot. Once I got home I definatly was getting feverish. Grandmother took my temprateture. It was pretty high. I'm keeping a chart of the temprateture. Grandmother says that if it rises or stays the same I won't be able to go to school tommorow.
Temprature Chart:
6:30 pm: 101.9
8:00 pm: 102.3
10:00 pm:102.5
Okay so it's apparent that I'm not getting better. I can barely stay up and write right now at this moment. I'm taking my temprature again.
11:30 pm:102.6
Ohh great I'm not going to school tommorow. Tired Mom just came an hour ago to be with me and take care of me. I have to go now.
November 3 Thursday Mom's
So I was forced to come here because Grandmother had to go shopping for some canvases and stuff. Therefor my Mom didn't want me to be alone because some one might possibly abuct me and hold me for a big randsome. As you could see from the last time I wrote I'm pretty delirious. This morning Grandmother took my temprature guess what?
6:30 am: 102.7
My fever is getting higher and higher. Grandmother wants to take me to Dr.Fisher(Sara's Dad) so he can take a look at me. Oh great so I'm going to my best friends' and my boyfriends' Dad so he can see me all delirous. No wait, I'm not going through with this no matter how much Grandmother bribs me. So I might go if Grandmother bribes me with a hundred dollar bill. Grandpere just came in he wants me to get a checkup too, he bribed me with guess what? He bribed me with five hundred dollars. I guess I'm going to see Dr. Fisher for a measly five hundred dollars. Grandpere also was kinda nice to me in the Grandfatherly way. Grandpere just took my temp. Yup higher
10:30 am: 102.8
Mom, Dad, and him are brining me to Dr. Fishers'. I hope I can give them the right directions in my physical state right now of weakness.
Thursday Santa Monica Hospital
Yup that's right I'm in the hospital my fever got to high. By the time we reached Dr. Fisher's which took about two and half hours because I kept on messing up with giving directions to Dr. Fisher's. My fever reached a high peak point of 104.3. Gosh I was doing major burning. So Dr. Fisher wants me to stay in the hospital here for the next three days. He says that possibly I contracted a bactrial infection that has spread through my body. So they now have me on an I.V. with medicine. My last temprature was 104.4. It's going up still even with the medicine. I asked the nurse about this and she said it would take about two hours for the medicine to show big results and that at first the medicine's natural reaction is to make your temprature go up by two deggres. Sara and Mark are going to visit me after school. I hope that they don't tip off the reporters to were I am and cause them to come here and take pictures of me in my night gown. Right now I'm freazing but if I put on my heavy blanket I get to hot and I burn. Sim and Frank are in my room watching to make sure that no evil spy comes in and captures me. It was kind of embarrassing having them see me in this nighty I'm wearing right now. It's one that Mom changed me into so it wouldn't be able to be coinsidered a night gown. She could fool me, it is so sluty it showes off what little chest I own and it is sheer at the bottom. WHY ME? WHY ME? WHY ME?
Thursday in my hospital room
I can barely be up to write. I can't belive Grandpere let one reporter up to take my picture here in the hospital. I honestly can't. The nurse says that it's time for me to take a nap. She says that I have to nap or my medicine won't work as well as it should. My temprature thankfully actually stayed at 104.4. But I have to start getting sleep or it could be worse. Frank went out to get a capachino. Sim also went out to get a copy of the newspaper from the gift shop. Mom and Dad decided that they were hungry too and left the hospital to go have lunch. Grandpere thought that he was getting tired so he left for the hotel to call Grandmother and tell her that I'm in the hospital. The nurse just came in she isn't too thirlled about having someone like me,
Princess Ellisabeth Amelia Mignonette Grimaldi Helen Moscovitz Renalod as one of her patients she thinks I'm snobby. She ended up delivering my lunch for me. I haven't eaten anything since last night. This morning I couldn't eat I was so feverish. I'm still not hungry but she's forcing me to eat so I can get better. But before I had my ew ick hospital lunch she took my temprature. It went up to 104.6. I can't belive it. She says that I'm in the right place now because at least they can do something about it. So in three hours if my temprature doesn't go down they are going to give me a stronger medicine in my I.V. tube. Did I mention that it is a pain in the butt to go to the restroom with this I.V.?
Later Thursday
Mark and Sara just visited me after I had a two hour nap. My temprature is still 104.6 but it hasn't gone terribly up. Mark says that if they put a stronger medicine in that I'll get better quicker. I'm just about ready to pass out here. Sara being the genius she is brought me all my assignments for my class. Thanks Sara for putting my school work in front of my mental state. Grandmother knew the right thing to bring me. She brought me a couple of issues of SEVENTEEN that I own. She told me that I should read the girl's worst days and then think which is worse my day or theirs. This suggestion wasn't too helpfull I wasn't in the mood for jokes. Grandpere came back he keeps on hitting on the nurses that help me out. In all honesty I'm thanful to the fact that the first nurse is gone. She was relived of her duties when another nurse came who is much more Grandmother type material. Mom and Dad came back while I was asleep. Dad bought me a GET WELL card and balloon. Mom bought me a crystal necklace. It was really pretty but I couldn't accept it. I told Mom to return it. But she forced me to keep it. Now I have a whole collection of jewlry. Before Mark got me that diamond necklace Sunday I had no interest whatsoever in jewlry now I have a bunch of pricless pieces of jewlry I found out that the crystals that are on the braclet are really rare and valuable. Why is Mom buying me stuff like this she knows that I don't like jewlry. Okay I just had my temprature taken again. OH GOD! It went up to 104.7. They are trying to find a stronger medicine now. WHY ME? WHY ME? WHY ME? WHY ME?
Thursday 7 p.m.
I finally got a roomate around fourish. It is a girl named Domnique. She's cool. She's here cause she just had her apendix removed. It was totally embarrassing when she first got here. Sim and Frank had to check her out to see if she was a spy or something just for my own safety and the safety of Genovia. Domnique was really cool about it though. She says that it is way cool to be sharing a hospital room with a celebrity like me. She wanted my autograph. Also she asked it I would call her Domi. Domi is her nickname she says you say it not like dumby but Do me. Grandmother brought me pictures of us all so I can put them by my bed. I showed Domi a picture of Mark. She thought that he was hot. She wished she had a boyfriend. I told her that I personally thought that she was too cool to need a boyfriend. Guess what? She actually likes the same articels in SEVENTEEN. We laughed at the embarrassing moments. Domi kept on staring at Sim. Sim was playing with the buttons on his shirt which exposed his chest sometimes. At these moments Domi would blush and get all girlish on me. Okay I just got my temprature taken AGAIN for like the fifteenth time this day. Well it didn't go down is all I can say yes it went up to 104.8. The doctors are now seeing if they put the wrong medicine in my I.V. tube. They better not have screwed up because I will have to get a new pack put on and that would be bad. Geez I just noticed that today when Mark came to visit I didn't get embarrassed about him seeing me in my sultry nightgown thanks to Mom. Grandmother is bringing my favorite night gown tommorow. This hospital food stinks. For lunch I had broth, tea, and jello. For dinner just an hour ago I had dried and over cooked vegtables. This came along with a limp salad. I told them about my vegtarianism and they at least respected this. The only good thing was desert which was ice cream. They only gave me ice cream so that hopefull they can bring my fever down naturally. Good luck on this one Drs. Oops! Dr. Fisher is here. He wants to see what medicine I have more latter.
Thursday 11:00
I can't sleep here in the hospital even at night. It's too noisey. They are constantly making annoucments for doctors on the P.A. system at night and they are also coming in constantly to talk to you to see if you are okay. Especially the younger nurses who want to see a certain princess' body guard who happens to be on the fairly hot side for his age. Also some of the older yet not too old nurses come in to take a peak at Frank. Frank and Sim kind of liking the attention that the nurses are giving them. I have to keep on asking them along with Domi to take conversations with the nurses outside so we can get a couple of hours worth of sleep. Dr. Fisher said that it indead is the wrong medicine. Guess what? They don't have the proper medicine right now. They are going to have to specially order it for me. It could take two days for it to come in. But for the time being they are going to put me on a dose a day of Tyenol to bring my fever down to at least 104.5. I can wish them good luck on this. Last night Mom tried to give me Tyenol to bring my fever down. It didn't work at all as you can see. Domi just said that she's going to go and sneak down the hall for a walk. She says that she hates being in bed for long periods of time. I told her to tell me what is going on(It would be to hard to sneak out with my IV attached to me actually Domi has an IV hooked up to her too. I wonder how she's going to sneak out. I'm really curious so I'll go with her. Heck if I do get caught I'll have Grandpere give them a hundred bucks for the inconvince. After all what does it mean to be a princess and not use the benifits of being one? I Princess Ellisabeth Amelia Mignonette Grimaldi Helen Moscovitz Renalod am going to try to get some sleep after Domi and I sneak out.
November 4, Friday
I'm getting a tiny bit better. My fever went from 104.8 to 104.7. It's like I don't know six in the morning. Thank you God for letting this happen. The nurses are now sad that Sim and Frank had to leave around eleven thirty. They are begging me to ask them to come back. Grandmother came around five thirty. She brought me a new better nightgown. Now I'm not fully exposed to the human world. Domi is going home in three days. I won't be going home now until three days after my medicine packet comes in. The recent update in the medicine delivery is that it's going to come late tommorow. Domi says that we should go to the playroom and get out of our boring room. Grandmother wants me to stay in bed though. I just found out that Grandpere came in around tweleve thirty and left around five o'clock. I didn't think my Grandpere would be that nice to me after I've been a snot. Ohh great I get to cancel going to Diana's sleepover tonight. I just told Grandmother this and she says she'll call Diana and explain everything. I'm tired again signing off.
Later Friday 8 a.m.
I guess I don't have to explain it to Diana. The reporter's picture that he took of me yesterday while I was laying here in agony is on the cover of the L.A. Times. I'm so lame. The articel explained that I had caught some deadly virus that could kill me. That is a bunch of garbage. The articel went on to explain that the whole Genovian Royality Line is in danger. Oh please someone shoot me. I think I'm going to be sicker than I am already. My temprature is asteady 104.7 still. Mom and Dad came back around seven while I was sleeping off my fever. Mom apologized for the photo. She said she'd have a talk with Grandpere about taking pictures of me while I'm in a weak phsyical state like this. Go Mom! Dad bought me a box of choclates. He said that I can have them instead of having the hospital food. I'm getting tired again.
Friday 4:00 p.m.
Mark and Sara are supposed to show up soon. Mom and Dad are still here. Grandmother came back but only stayed for about two hours. I think she has confrotational issues regarding hospitals. I don't know why though. Sim and Frank came back also. My temprature is back up to 104.8 even with the Tyenol. Grandmother and Grandpere who also came back bullied the doctors about when the medicine is going to come in. Mom is too rational for this. I got a call around lunchtime. It was Diana, Shellia, Willa and the rest of the group. They were wishing me a fast and smooth recovery. Sara, Mark, Heather, and Nina also called. Sara gave me my homework assignments that I'm missing so far. Thank you Sara for putting homework before my health. Carrie called me on her cell phone. She wanted to know how I was doing and if I am getting any better. I told her not really and she got really scared. She's coming over tommorow she says. Nina and Heather are going to come over Sunday. I also noticed that I'm going to miss Mass and Confirmation classes this week. This is a big bummer because I like both. Mark gave me a special call this morning after I woke up from my ten minute nap. School doesn't start until like eight thirty at S.B.A.P.H.S I was really happy he said to check my email around ten. I asked Dad if he would go back and get my laptop for me. He was being really nice and aggreed to get it for me. Domi was stunned at the fact I owned a laptop. I told her that it was a gift. I explained the situation to her. She understood. After an hour Dad came back with my laptop. Domi and I got bored around nine o'clock so we hooked the modem up to my laptop. We got online through her account which was DieHardGirl. We checked her email first. She has a lot of guys that like her. Why wouldn't they? She's got a size C cup, she's thin, not anorexic, pretty faced, and cool. Apparently at her school they are having a Thanksgiving dance event and five guys were asking her if they could go out with her. Once we were done with that she got an Instant Message from someone called ShesAllThat. Here's how the conversation went:
DieHardGirl: Hey Laura! Guess who I'm sharing a room with here?
SHESALLTHAT:Who?
DieHardGirl:Princess Ellisabeth Amelia Mignonette Grimaldi Helen Moscovitz Renalod.
ShesAllThat:No you are so kidding me aren't you?
DieHardGirl:Yes Ellisa say hi.
DieHardGirl(As my own voice): Hi yup it's me Princess Ellisabeth Amelia Mignonette Grimaldi Helen Moscovitz Renalod. Ellisa for short. I came
down with a really high fever and I now have to stay in the hospital
untill it goes down.
ShesAllThat:Cool! Domi can I tell her the news at our school.
DieHardGirl:I guess so. Ellisa just don't get a swelled head from this.
ShesAllThat: Well all the guys at our school want to date you. They
think you'r totally hot.
Me hot? Really who is she kidding? Wait maybe guys outside of Mark really think I'm truly hot. Or maybe all the guys at Domi and Laura's school are nuts or something. I know I'm not hot. This converstation went on until Laura had to log off because her study hall was ending. It turns out that all the guys that go to Laura and Domi's school want to find out my email account and ask me out to the Festive Dance(the thing they were all asking Domi out to). Grandpere stoped bulling the doctors along with Grandmother after this converstation and left. I couldn't blame them without my laptop the hospital is pretty boring. Frank left Sim on duty to guard me. Mom left. Dad stayed with Sim. He offered to buy me some more choclate. The last box he gave me I had finished up in seconds of reciving it. I told him that I wanted actual food but I said thank you for offering to buy me choclate. But after looking at Domi I knew what I wanted to do. I had Sim get a camera from the gift shop downstairs. It was a disposabel one. Once he got the camera I asked Dad to take a picture of Domi and I by one another. I also ripped a page from this book out and autographed it for Domi. This would prove to a even a non beliver that Domi had shared a room with me. At Domi's school I guess word gets around fast because the next thing I knew the nurses were rationing the ammount of visitors Domi had more than 3/4 of them were boys who came and started flirting with me. But they stoped after I told them about Mark. Before that happend though I went on to my account around ten and I got an email with a link on it. It opend up to a digital get well card that had a ten dollar gift certificate to Borders. A message was on the gift certificate that asked once I was better if I would go with Mark to Borders and spend the gift. I emailed back to him yes I would love to. Some of the guys from Domi's school are still terribly bold. They kept on hitting on me, especially Saven. Apparently Saven is the popularest boy in Domi's school. But after Sim and Frank made a gesture that sent out to Saven that he was close to getting kicked out he stoped and left us. Apparently at Marshall(Domi's school) they have scheduals were you can leave campus for sometime. I personally wish that I could do this at S.B.A.P.H.S but no they won't it's a private school. They have to live up to higher expectations in their students. They can't be like the public schools. Sevan still emailed me though later after lunch. I forward the message to Mark having him take care of the problem. Mark would solve the problem for me. Mark is extremely atheltic even if he isn't on the track or sports teams. Aunt Lilly called me today. She is terribly sorry that she won't be able to be with me as much as she planned for us to be togther because of my stay in the hospital. Stupid, stupid fever. Oh about fevers a nurse is here.
Saturday Morning 9 a.m.
Great this is just great. Guess what? No, I won't keep you guessing; my fever went up. It went way up. It went up to 105.4. I'm not kidding. Whatever I got it is strong and it won't go away. God please help me get over this. It sucks feeling sick enough to be in the hospital. Mark came today with a bunch of roses. All togther there where five big ones with four tiny ones. It was so sweet. He said that each big one stood for 105. Then the four small ones stood for the 4 deggress. He is so romantic. Grandmother and Grandpere bought us all a nice fancy dinner. It was cool having such a nice dinner in the hospital. Saven came in to start flirting with me when Mark was there. When he learned that Mark was my boyfriend he shut up and started flirting with Domi. He is such a player. Mark stayed with me until like six thirty that is when visitors that are not family have to leave the hospital. Mom and Dad aggreed with Sim and Frank that they would stay with me tonight. Sim and Frank got the night off finally after having to spend the past two days with me. I think that they are glad to be having a night off from supervising me. It was hard for me to fall asleep I kept on having bizarre and odd dreams but everytime Mom sang to me. Dad had some warm milk brought in for me. That put me out for some time. But I woke up at about four in the morning. I was terribly hot and pushed off my covers. Mom and Dad were sleeping in a sitting postion. Domi was sleeping also. So I got my laptop and started web surfing. I was terribly delirious the doctors think that my temprature was at an all time high of 106 when I did this but I typed in my name on a search engine of some sort and all of a sudden I saw a thousand fan pages up. I wish I was delrious but I wasn't half of them were guys. They were making collections so that they could send me a big present. I actually signed the guest books. I wrote that thank you for the present collections and to add proof I did something that only I could do which is copy the royal sign of Genovia and pasted it to my signatures. Boy I wonder what these people are going to think once they see their guest books. I started feeling tired again and fell asleep I didn't wake up till six thirty. Mom and Dad were up they had placed my laptop by my bed and moved it out of the way. I needed to use the bathroom and Mom helped me wheel my I.V. into the rest room. This was on one scale embarrassing. But why should I worry it's my Mom after all. And thankfully I'm wearing a night gown that covers up my body. I took a good look at myself in the mirror. Help me! I looked like a wreak. My hair was very, very, very messy. I was very, very, very, very, pale. I had extremely puffy red eyes. Dr. Fisher came in once I had time to put some makeup on. He thought that maybe I'd have to have a surgery because he thinks that something is totally inflamed and infected. He says he'll run tests later today. Mark came in after him. Mark offerred to get me breakfast. I told him I wasn't feeling really especially hungry at that moment. He understood. He had to leave for a meeting with Father Glen the pastor at our church. Mark is now applying to run the Confirmation program with Sister Gwenth. I think that Mark will be a great teacher. Oops! I have to go Dr. Fisher is back and wants to run the tests right now.
Saturday After Tests
The tests didn't go so well. Dr. Fisher now knows that it's an infected spleen. Oh great I now have an infected spleen. He says that I can do perfectly well without my spleen but that we'll have to have the operation tonight or else it could burst and cause infection to all my important body parts. Dear God please let me get through this. I know that it won't be to terrible. I know that this is a light surgery and that I probably won't die but there is still a chance that I might wake up in the middle of the surgery and have so much pain that I won't be able to take it all. I now have a lot to live for. My boyfriend the people that truly care and have concern for me.
Saturday Later
So I'm going into surgery in four hours. It's like twelve o' clock. The doctors are going to put me under the antestia soon. Dr. Fisher said that the doctor that deals with antestia has never messed up once in his whole ten years of dealing with the stuff. Grandmother came to visit right as I got the news. She's now in histerics. She thinks she'll loose me. Thanks alot Grandmother just the comfort and support I need right now. Mom and Dad are taking it pretty well. Mom says that I shouldn't worry and that they won't do anything wrong. Dad says to pray and God will protect me. Dad is Jewish so he belives in at least a God and praying. Grandpere says that if I get out of it he'll take me to Disneyland soon. Thanks Grandpere for the same confidence as Grandmother, really thanks. Ohh no. A guy is here in a white coat his name on the coat says Dr. Erins. Dr. Erins is the antestia doctor that Dr. Fisher was telling me about. I know that I got my anoids out perfectly okay but this is different they have to and cut open my stomach. I pray unto you God grant me protection during this time.

Saturday Later
Hello Ellisa's diary or journal. It's very odd to write like this again. I used to keep a diary when I was Ellisa's age. Ellisa asked me to write for her because right now she's under antestia. Oh my God my daughter is going to be operated on! But I can't let her know I worry. She's pretty scared herself. A mother is supposed to be supportive of her child. Mom and my dad are being over protective of Ellisa. Especially Mom. She keeps on bugging me asking me things like on how I raise Ellisa right now. I raised my mom for most of my life. If I wasn't there for her she would have completely forgoten to buy stuff like toliet paper. So now she's having doubts about the fact that I raise Ellisa. This means that I have to be doublly responsible right now. Michael is being so supportive to Ellisa. I wonder at times if he wanted a boy. I keep on asking him this and he keeps on saying that he is thirlled that we had a girl. But he orginally wanted to name her Cassandra. I don't know why he wanted this in the first place. Oh my God I had to push back Lilly and Rachel's arrival. But it is for the best. Until Ellisa's out of the hospital I can't be responsible for having guests. My dad keeps on nagging me to let the press take pictures of Ellisa and me togther while she's here looking sickly. He thinks it will boost and support this family closness and good parenting idea into the media. My God this would totally top the cake about the whole princess thing. I don't want Ellisa to go through with this. She's in the hospital right now under antestia, my dad has no respect for the current situation. Thankfully I now am able to take a stand against him and my fellow beings. The doctor I think it's Dr. Fisher is here. He says that they are ready to opperate on Ellisa.

November 6, Sunday The Recovery Room
Mom brought this to me in the Recovery Room. I just am coming out of the antestia. My surgery went okay aparently. The Recovery Room is a big room with a couple of other people in it with me. A nurse named Matthew is standing guard over me. He's not happy that Mom brought this to me. He wants me to rest right now. My last temprature which Matthew just took is 104.5. Yes! It's going down a lot. Matthew says that I'll probably have to spend three to four more days here in the hospital. This is just great. I just saw Grandpere at the window from the main hall. Guess who was with him? Two photographers from the media. He was speaking with them about something. Thank you Grandpere for making this a big event. I can see the headline coming from this: The Genovian Throne Preserved Princess Ellisabeth Amelia Mignonette Grimaldi Helen Moscovitz Renalod Recovering. Er maybe something more calm and tame could be the title. Who am I kidding? With Grandpere feeding them the facts they could get the whole story at a bigger more dramatic point of view. I was just noticing how many new names have I gotten now? Four yup four new names complementary of me being a princess. I think I was totally delirous just a couple of minutes ago. I told Matthew that if I wasn't dating Mark that I'd go out with him sometime. I could guess that he was looking at me really oddly. I know what he was thinking when I told him this (Crazy nut case princess) ohh yes that is deffinately what he's probably thinking right now. I just wish that Mom would have another kid so I wouldn't have to be a princess. If I wasn't a princess I could have just been another regular girl in the hospital not Princess Ellisabeth in the hospital. No I would have just been regular plain Jane and not have to have a single worry about being in the hospital.
Later Sunday
I am truly thankfull to Mark. He brought me Communion. Yes I was really touched. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to recive Communion today because I'm here. But Mark solved that problem for me. After Mass he asked me the priest if he could bring me a host and the rest of the blood. He's so romantic. Domi felt kind of odd when I recived Communion today. Domi says that she'll probably be going home the day after tommorow or late tommorow. She's so lucky. I'd switch places with her any day of the week. Domi says that she would want to be me. I wonder if she would want to be in my shoes having her picture taken while she's in the hospital. Okay maybe I'm being to mean or something like that to her. She's not the one who's having the media do this to her. So Mom told me today that she put off Rachel's arrival because of me being sick and in the hospital. This was not the news I wanted to hear. I want Rachel to come. I want some one who is family that I can talk about things with. I know that Sara's my best friend and all but there are just somethings you leave up to the family you have. In my situation Rachel is now going to become that family. I'm getting tired again. My temprature has gone down to 104.2! Yes!!!! I'm going home in three days! More yes cries.

November 8, Tuesday Night
Domi left very, very, very, very, early this morning around four. I was really sad. I'm going to miss her alot. At least we have eachother's email address. Frank and Sim also were kind of sad to see Domi leave. Domi's a good person, honestly she is. I also think in Frank and Sim's case they did think she was kind of hot for her age. I want to go home too. I wasn't abel to finish all my homework from yesterday and today I've got another whole load to add to the load I allready have on my back. Time went very, very, very slowly without Domi before Sara and Mark came to visit again. Mark brought me some good food for today. He brought me KFC. When Grandpere came to visit me today along with Mom, Dad, and Grandmother I reminded him of his promise to take me to Disneyland. When I reminded him of this he looked at my Mom with a crest fallen look. I knew something was wrong.
"Mom what's wrong?" I asked my Mom.
"Well Ellisa this is going to be hard telling you this," Mom said in a sad kind of voice.
"Dad do you know what's going on?" I took a quick peak at him and Grandmother for answers to this mystery.
"Well Ellisa now that you are offically a princess who needs to be protected when you do go to Disneyland the whole park will be closed down and only twenty of your close friends can come along not including Sim, Frank, Grandpere, your Dad, your Grandmother, and I. I'm really sorry honey but this is the way it is when you are a princess," Mom said sadly. Oh great I can't go to Disneyland like a normal kid anymore.
"Ellisabeth, I have a wonderful suggestion for you on the day we go to Disneyland. How about you save two spots and you give them as grand prizes to the local or national media centers so that people can win a chance to go with you to Disneyland for a day. It will be a wonderfull prize," Grandpere said. Oh yes Grandpere let's just boost up my fame. This realy has given me some confidence. Only I could ever get this lucky to be able to offer such a wonderfull prize to the nation. -Ellisa
Hello readers. I know this sounds like I'm copying what is going on in Mia's life but I try to have some creativity. If you flame or mist do it gently. Author's Note: About the whole Mia having a half sibling, I just figured that it would be complicated to add it here so just think that the baby had a miscariage or something like that. I haven't seen any reviews go up yet but thanks for any reviews that will come. I'm not the world's greatest speller and grammar person but I try. -Thanx!
