Chapter 6
Lilly walked Mia up to her appartment. "So, what's goin' on with you and Bo?" Lilly smiled.
"I don't know, he's nice. I'm tired of waiting on a certian someone to wake up and ask me out." Mia said.
"But going after the first guy who payed attention to you. I heard alot of bad things about him." Lilly was concered.
"I'm a big girl." Mia assured her.
"Your my bestfriend. I just don't wanna have to kick some guy's ass." Lilly hugged Mia.
A few mintues later Lilly showed her self out of Mia's appartment building and met Michael on the street. Bo was still out their and he and Michael were fighting...we'll, Michael was about to throw his fist in Bo's face. "Okay boys break it up. Michael you come with me. Bo, you can go to hell!" Lilly smiled.
"YOu two are the strangest people I have met." Bo said walking away.
"What did she say?" Michael asked as him and Lilly began to walk to their place.
"Well, she said that she was tired of waiting for you to ask her out." Lilly said.
"So that means I still have a chance." Michael was beaming.
"Yeah." Lilly smiled.
"Mia set down in thie living room and turned on the t.v. Infortunitly there was nothing on which ment Mia had to start on her algebra. About half was into it the phone rang. "Hello?" Mia asked.
"Yes, can I speak to Amelia Thermopolis?" a man speaking with a French accent asked.
"THis is she, may I ask who this is?" Mia was confused.
"This is Phillipee Renaldo....your father."
Mia felt like a knife was being plunged into her. She couldn't speak, she nearly dropped the phone. After a second she said. "What do you want?"
"I was calling to let you know that I was at the Plaza." he replied.
"You wasn't suppose to come until Saturday."
"I couldn't wait, I wanted to see you."
"Oh." Mia said.
"Can you come see me tonight." he asked.
"I don't know." Mia replied.
"I know that you are afraid to meet me. I deserve a second chance Mia. There's so much I need to tell you."
"I'll be there in about a hour or so." Mia hung up the phone without saying good-bye.
Mia put on her jacket and combat boots, wrote a note for her mother than ran out the door. She ran all the way to Michael and Lilly's appartment building. After being buzzed up, Mia went strait to the appartment. Michael answered the door. "Mia what's wrong." he ushered her to his room.
"My.....father.....called.....he's.....at.....the......Plaza." Mia was pacing back and forth and was extreamly out of breath.
"Mia, calm down, come set by me." Michael said.
"I told him.......I would.......be over in....an hour....." Mia said.
"Look, don't talk, just breath." Michael said.
Once Mia calmed down she explained what was going on. "I was setting in the living room doing my algebra. The phone rings, I expected it to be mom or Bo." Michael cringed at the mention of his name. "So I picked the phone up and this guy who spoke with a French accent was on the line. He asked for me. It turns out to be my dad. He said he couldn't wait until this weekend, he wasnted to see me now. It told him I would meet him at the Plaza in an hour. Then, I came straite here. Michael your the only person I can talk to about this. What should I do?" Mia explained.
"Well, Mia I can't tell you what to do." Michael said.
"I know, but I need some advice." Mia said.
"Well, I think you should go."
"I'm scared, I don't know what to do, or say." Mia started pacing again.
"Don't worry, if it makes you feel any better. I could come with you." Michael suggested.
"You would do that for me." Mia stopped pacing
"Yeah, I would do anything for you." Michael looked solumly at her.
"Thank you Michael, your such a good friend." Mia hugged Michael.
'Friend! Just a Friend! After all the hints that I have dropped I just a Friend! I guess you have to be a stoner with long greasy hair to be something more than a friend to her!' Michael was alittle disapointed.
After Michael pit his shoes on and told his parents where he would be, and he also got the keys to their car. The trip seemed to take forever. They ended up getting stuck in rush hour, so they were 45 mintues late getting to the Plaza. The Phillipee for got to mention that kids weren't allowedf in the plaza with out adult supervision. It was wierd though, once Mia mentioned they were there to see Phillipee Renaldo. THe door man freaked out and apologing and offering them gifts, all of which they refused.
They stepped onto the elevator, Michael told the operator what floor to go to, Mia was too nervous. "Mia calmo down. Everythings going to be okay." Michael rubbed Mia's arms.
"What would I do with out you?" Mia asked as the elevator doors opend. Mia tightly held Michael's hand in hers as they walked to her father's suite.
'Maybe I still have a chance.' Michael thought.
Mia knocked on the door. It was quickly opened by a guy dressed in black. Without saying a word he frisked Michael and Mia then showed them to the setting room. A few seconds later a man dressed in a Polo shirt and a pair of kakkis came in the room. Even though he was alittle older, and a lot balder she recognized him. "Dad?" Mia asked.
"Hello Amelia." he smiled, "You look lovely."
"Thank-you, I go by Mia." she knewn her father was moving in for a hug. Instead she held her hand out. A little disappointed, Phillipee shock it. "Um...this is Michael Moscovitz."
"Your boyfriend?" her father asked.
'I wish!' Mia thought, 'Bad thought Mia! You kinda...sorta....already have a boyfriend.'
"No, he'e just a friend." Mia smiled.
"Well, it's nice to meet you Mr. Renaldo." Michael smiled.
"It's nice to meet you too." Phillipee smiled. There was an akward silence. Then, "Mia, there's something I need to tell you, I was kinda hoping that you would come alone."
"I can go." Michael stated to stand up.
"No! Stay!" Mia pulled him back down. "Dad anything you have to say to me, you can say in frount of Michael."
"Well, I knew that cominginto your life when your 15 dones' make me much of a father. There's so much about my life, and your life that you don't know." Phillipee began to explain.
"I'm beganing to realize that, your have told me several times now. Would you please hurry, I'm expecting a phone call." Mia said.
'There she goes, another Bo refrence.' Michael thought.
"Amelia-Mia, I'm not just a politician in Genovia, I'm the Crowned Prince." Phillipee said.
"Excuse me?" Mia asked in shock. "Your kidding!"
Michael was also in shock. 'I knew there was something specail about her, but a Princess! I'm in love with a Princess.....a real Princess!' Michael thought.
"No, I'm not kidding. I'm Prince of Genovia and as my only child you are heir to the throne, you are Princess of Genovia."
"Does Mom know aobu this?" Mia asked.
"Ofcorse," Phillipee said. "She knew that I was Prince before you were born. We agreed that we would not tell you until you were 18. Then I got testicular caner and can't have anymore children. You will be taught to dress, walk, and talk like a princess. Once you have finished your college education you will move to Genovia where you will one day rule."
"Hold up, I have my own plan for me life and it doesn't envolve ruling a country! Besides I have just met you, you don't even quilfy for having say in my life! I want to join Greenpeace! I don't want to wear poofy dresses, and tiarras! I wnt to have a slightly normal life!" Mia excliamed.
"Amelia! Calm down!" Phillipee yelled.
"Look, I don't want to be a Princess! I 'm not moving to Genvoia! I have hated you my whole life! YOu have never been there for me! When all the other dads took their daughters to campfire girls where were you at? I was made fun of because Mom took me!" Mia was crying.
"Mia I want us to start over." Phillipee said.
"We haven't even began! You have had 15 years to spend with me. YOu waited until it was too late! I don't want to have anything to do with you!" Mia ran out of the room.
"Well, that went well!" Phillipee grumbled.
"Doesn't it bother you that you have hurt your own daugther. Mia is the nicest...most specail person I have ever met. For as long as I can remember all she has wanted was a father, she use to pretend that she was part of my family because of that. Everytime she wrote you and got no response, my sister and I were the people that she came crying too. I don't blame her for running out on you....you ran out on her a long time ago." Michael said walking out the door.
Mia was standing out on the street, tears streaming down her cheeks. A few minutes later Michael came out. "Are you okay?" he pulled her tightly into his arms and held her close.
"He never had anything to do with me, the only reason he wants to spend time with me is because I'm a stupid princess and he can't have anymore kids."
"Shh....it's gonna be okay." Michael assured her.
Michael took Mia back to her appartment, and walked her to the door where they were met by Helen. "Mia are you okay?" her mother asked.
"I'll be fine. Why didn't you tell me that dad was Prince of Genovia?" Mia asked.
"He told me not to. We agreed when you were 18 we would tell you. YOu father was suppose to find a woman in Genovia and have kids with her. You were suppose to be mine. Then when he found out he had cancer that changed everything. " Helen explained.
"I wish you would have told me." Mia said.
"I'm sorry. I just wanted what was best for you." Helen hugged her. "By the way, a boy named Bo Willis called for you." she handed Mia a piece of paper.
"I have to go." Michael said.
"Thank you for everything Michael." Mia smiled at him.
"Your welcome." he hugged Mia and kissed her on the cheek. "I'll see you tommorow. IF you need me before then, call me." Michael walked out of the apparment.
