Mia was really glad that she had gone with Alex that
night. She had been living with him and his friends
since. They lived at a commune in the woods. All their
power came from the sun, their heat from wood stoves.
She found it refreshingly fun to go to a Laundromat to
do her laundry, and she loved to go to the library to
use the computers.
The Genovian Government had covered her disappearance very well. Her father had said that they were planning on her going and traveling for a little while, before she got married. He told the press that she wanted to spend some more time with out the pressures of the parliament hanging over her head all the time. She would be back to take over her duties when her father was ready to go. No, he could not say where she was, he wanted to respect her privacy and so should the press. Mia knew this was a lie at first, but wasn't so sure now. She had a felling that at least Lars knew where she was, and he would tell her if something happened to her father and she had to come back. Mia had planned on going to New York and see her friends and family. She wanted to see her mom, Mr. G and Rocky. Before she had left Genovia she had gotten a letter from Lilly said that Tina was with some rich guy and Shemmeka was a model in Paris. Mia also wanted to see Michael. They had broken up when he turned 18, so he wouldn't get in trouble with the law. He had sort of faded out of her life as he tried to get his band off the ground. She was wondering what they were all up and so had hopped a train that was heading out east with Alex. That was a disaster. They had gotten trains to California many times before, and had never gotten caught. But on the trip across country they got caught and were made to stay in jail. When the rail yard bull asked them their names Mia had to say her real name. Thankful they were in the middle of no where and the many had never heard of her before.
"Wasn't there a princess called Mia Thempoles?" Alex asked her. He had grown up in Vermont and so would of definitely of heard of her.
"Yeah, I think there was, I was always getting mistaked for her when I lived in New York, but its not too odd for two people to have the same name in a city the size of New York," Mia lied.
"Yeah, I guess not... Isn't she missing or something? I don't pay attention much... She was going to married someone though... I remember seeing his photo when i was in Genovia, man was he ugly." Alex drifted off. Mia though to her self, Ugly, what an understatement! If only he knew. I can't believe that Grandmere would do that to me. Its her reason I left, she made me leave.
Flash back to Genovia, a week before Mia ran away: "Amelia, your father and I are not getting any younger, and you have not found your self an appropriate suitor, I have taken the challenge upon my self, with great success. Now here is a photo of him, his name is-"
"What!! Why, I'm fine single, I will find someone!" Mia gasped at her grandmere, appalled.
"Well, you are the only heir to the thrown, and well, we all know how you love to go galavanting off to Africa, who knows what you can get in those shanty towns! Ebloa, AIDs, god knows what! And well, you father and I are worried, you need to produce a heir. And so we have found you a nice young man by the name of Albert Kingship. His father is a very important member of the British Parliament, and if the elections go the way they are, he might be the next Prime Minister! Albert is..."
Mia droned out Grandmere as she looked at his photo. He was very short and stalky, he looked to be 5' 6" or 5' 7". His eyes were a creepy, shilling blue, that didn't seem to be focused on anything. His hair was a plain color, not brown and not blond, it was short cut and just kinda.. there. His eyebrows seem to converge in a center point above his crooked nose. Mia was horrified by this photo.
"-and well, your wedding is in a couple of months, the 16th of December in fact-" this got Mia's attention back.
"What, wedding!? But I haven't even met the guy!" Mia was practically screaming by now, her panic over taking her.
"Ah, but you are tonight. He and his father have so graciously agreed to have dinner with us, and Amelia, be sure to be on you best behavior, first appearances are everything." Grandmere got up and left Mia in shock.
Apparently no one had ever told Albert Kingship about first appearances. His manners were appalling, but Grandmere, in her old age, appeared not to notice... or was at least letting it slip. His every move grossed Mia out.
For the next week Mia tried everything to convince Grandmere it was a terrible idea.
"But I'm taller than him!"
"That is the new fashion, Amelia"
"But, Grandmere, I am perfectly capable of finding someone!"
"So I had though too, but you always lose the good ones, your father and I had high hopes for that Michael, so good at languages and so bright, but of course, you had to brake up with him ,and crush his heart, and so you father and I were forced to make the decision our selves," Grandmere replied smartly. Mia realized her efforts were useless and so decided to run away.
A/N Sorry about the delay, I hope this story isn't too confusing, if it is tell me and I will try to fix it. This is my first try at writing anything of length, not that the chapters are too long. Thanks for the reviews, they're awesome. Oh and, Teg? Fix my summary that is on the main page, would ya? And the chapter names are cool. Thanks for posting this for me!
Editors Note: Pha. I can't believe Mia broke up with Michael! But alas, this Alex fellow seems cool. I don't even know what to change the summary to, but I'll try. (:
