Prologue

16 year old Elizabeth Wakefield sat in her favorite chair looking out at the bright moon. Her thoughts weren't on her boyfriend Todd Wilkins, or even in Sweet Valley, her only known home. No, her thoughts had crossed the ocean of time to that fateful moment when she turned down her love, Prince Laurent de Sainte-Marie's proposal. Even at that moment when the words escaped her mouth she knew she made a horrible mistake by telling the wonderful man that turned her heart upside down she wouldn't marry him. The thought was confirmed when she got back together with Todd Wilkins, the boyfriend that broke up with her before she left with her twin sister Jessica to be live in au pairs for the royal family. The feeling of closeness that she once shared with Todd was completely gone, only the feeling of longing that she had denied her self.
Sighing Elizabeth got out of the chair and over to her stereo and turned on a pop station. Annoyed with the car commerical that was on she turned it off. She went into the bathroom that divided her and Jessica's room then looked into the mirror. A sad blonde teenager looked back out at her, with a heart shaped face and upset blue-green eyes. She knocked on the door to Jess' room then pushed the door open. The room looked liked a tornado hit it, but it always looked like that.
"Jess, I made a mistake." She said after moving a mountian of clothes off the desk chair. Jessica looked at her sad identical twin. "Dating Todd, has always been a mistake. I've told you that many times."
"No, its about Laurent, I shouldn't have said no." The Wakefield twins met eyes in the mirror.
"You're right you shouldn't, but second chances are once in a life time. Who knows you might get yours."
