Thanks Ella Lee and WarriorofAvalon for reviewing.  I redid this chapter and broke it up into smaller chapters.  I made a mistake the first time.  Kat.

  I awoke from a lovely dream with sunlight pouring into my emerald green eyes.  In my dream, I was no longer just Princess Jessica, but Queen Jessica, the most beloved ruler ever.  In my dream, I was handing out jewels to all the peasants of Balimare, where my father rules as king with my mother at his side.  I closed my eyes, savoring the image of me in the Royal Jewels and a silk, shiny dress. I rubbed my eyes and sat up.  Eloise, my favorite lady-in-waiting, rubbed her eyes, and seeing that I was awake, jumped up with a yawn.

"Need anything, Your Majesty?  I'll put on your clothes!" She trotted to my wardrobe and flung open the doors.  She began rifling through my silk dresses.

"No, just pick it out, please," I said with a silvery laugh.  "Oh, and you don't need to call me 'Majesty'.  Just plain Jessica is fine."  I bounced up to a sitting position and grabbed a silver comb and mirror from the bedside table.  I tried to run the comb through my long, golden hair, but got stuck on a big knot.  Eloise bustled over and snatched the comb from my hand.

"No, no, no, Your Majes-Jessica.  I'll comb it."  She sat down on my bed, and my terrier, Fritzy, woke at the sudden pressure.  He yawned, showing his little pink tongue, crawled over onto my lap and fell asleep again.  In this time, Eloise's nimble fingers had gotten out all the knots.   Eloise picked up the gown she had chosen off my dressing table and showed it to me.  It was a light, sky-blue color and would look well with my long hair tumbling down my back.   I dressed quickly and walked elegantly down the winding staircase to the kitchen.

Like it so far?  I do. I am writing on my spare time, so don't expect anything too soon.   I might stop if you all don't rewiew. Please, please, please  review!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Luv, Kat
