Dear Readers,
I decided to finish the story before I grew tired of it and post crap I don't even think is attention-grabbing any more. This is why the last chapters have been slow and about a couple months wait. First I just gave up at the story all together. Then yesterday I was looking through the stuff on my documents, and realized how raw the story still was. To all attentive readers, thanks a ton for your patience and now all the chapters will flow together once again.
DISCLAMIER- I own nothing that will be relevant to the actual Princess Diaries.
That belongs to Meg Cabot. I do however own Cara. Oh and the song wasn't
mine. The first song in the last chapter belonged to Maroon5 and the second the
Blink182.
Now that all the lawsuits are out of the way, Onto the Chapter
The attention-grabbing shit I live for
;)
Last Chapter
By the time I got home, all I wanted to do is sleep. And I did. For about 7 hours… but was awoken by the squealing of girls in our kitchen. As usual…
Michael's
POV (obviously)
"Oh
My God!!"
Was the annoying sound that woke me from my sleep. Obviously Lilly had some
guests over. It sounded a lot like Lilly's friend, Tina. She was always happy
and perky like that.
"It's not that big of a deal…" said the next voice. That sounded a lot like
Mia's. I could distinctly pick out her voice even if she was miles away… shut
up, Moscovitz.
"Yes
it is!!" squealed Tina. "It's soo romantic…" she trailed off. What? What are
they talking about?
I got out of my bed and walked to the door of my bedroom. I leaned my ear up
against it for perfect spying technique. I read all about this stuff. They
should make me a secret agent. I wouldn't even need that much training. All the
tricks on spying on your little sister, her friend and your true love are
casually rolled up my sleeve.
I
did not just say that.
Fortunately, I did not have to deal with these feelings long. Because, being
the master spy I am, I forgot the door was already open and after pressing my
weight against the door I realized that I may need more training then I
thought, because my door flung open and I fell out of my room onto my face.
Silence…
"Wow. That was smooth." Lilly cackled. And then they went off. Tina started giggling and some girl with red hair I've never seen before smiled and chuckled. But Mia didn't smile. She just looked up from her diary to see a red faced me standing up.
"Okay.
So we definitely know now what gravity is, girls? Yes, okay. Well, I'm going
to… um… sink back into my room to call Judith now…" then I saluted and started
to run back into my room Lilly called my name.
"Michael… Don't you want to meet my friend Cara?" Lilly asked mischievously. I
knew she was up to something, so I wittily answered,
"Why of co- Wait... you have friends?"
Lilly rolled her eyes at me. "Get over
yourself for one minute and come down here." She demanded. Did I ever mention
Lilly's scary? Well, she is. Some would even go as far to say she's terrifying.
So I walked down the stairway to the kitchen to find a pretty attractive girl
sitting in my kitchen. And no, it wasn't Mia this time.
"Michael," Lilly began. "This," she gestured to the red head whom was now staring at me. "Is my friend Cara. We met at Mia's press conference this afternoon." She explained.
"Uh-huh…"
I said noticing that Cara looked in a word: cool. I'm not one to base
stereotypes, but I mean, c'mon. She had an eyebrow ring!
"Hey." She said to me sticking out her hand.
"Hi. I'm Michael." I said confidently. Yep. Go me. I can remember my own name.
"Wait… Michael… Michael Moscovitz? From Loose Ties?" She asked wide-eyed.
"Um… Yes." I said.
"Oh my gosh!!" Cara said standing up. "I've seen at least three of your shows!"
She said.
I was totally bewildered. "Really?" I said in an interested tone. This is so
cool. I've never had a fan before. Wait till I tell Felix.
"How many shows have you played?" Tina asked.
"About… five?" I said. Hey, I'm proud of it! That's five more then I played
when I was in that great band Computers Rock. None of us even ever really
played instruments. We just liked Blink182 to the point where we pretended to
have drums and a base and I played guitar and sang while the other guys
screamed…. Good times.
"Well excuse me, Mr. Rock Star." Lilly said annoyingly. "But I'm trying to
conduct a show here. And now that you've met Cara, I suggest you leave before I
make you in it."
I was about to make a snide, sarcastic comment before the phone rang. Our
kitchen has this weird café layout, so I had to push pass Mia to answer the
phone. I kind of "accidentally" brushed against her shoulder and lingered my
hand on the chair.
I was happy to see Felix's name glow onto our caller-ID. Now I can tell him
about our fan and how "cool" she really is.
"Hey Felix." I said picking up the phone.
"How'd you know it was me?" he answered sounding amazed. He's not so technology
coordinated.
"I'm a telekinetic super genius." Which is half true…
"SERIOUSLY?" I felt my head throbbing with Felix's stupidity.
"No! I used the Caller-ID button."
"Oh. OH! Sorry, Moscovitz. I'm a little out of it." He answered truthfully. As
much of a greatly musically talented guy he is, I must admit he can be a bit
dim. (A/N: I must dedicate this line to Chrissy Isola, as I was thinking of
you as I wrote this line.)
"Yeah you always are. Anyway, guess who's sitting in my kitchen?" I said.
"Hmm… Paul Zimmer?" I was astonished.
"Felix, how do you know who Paul Zimmer is?" I asked.
"Well, gee he's only one of the greatest legendary authors ever known." He said
like what I asked was a stupid question.
"Yes…"
"I read his books like three times!" He said.
"Really?"
"Yeah!"
"Wow…" I said.
"What?" he said. "The guys, like, a fricken genius. What, do you think I
wouldn't read his books?" He asked.
"No, no that's not it. I just didn't know you could read…" I said.
"Very Funny." He said. I laughed loudly into the mouthpiece.
"Yes," I said confidently. "Yes I am. But enough about me, and back to my
kitchen." I turned to see Lilly, Tina and Cara laughing over the magazine. But
Mia was watching over the shoulders of Tina, not laughing. In fact, she looked
extremely upset. I didn't want to say anything though, in front of Lilly so I
just gave her a smile and turned back to my phone conversation.
"DUDE!!" was the word the lost me out of my Mia trance. "Who's in your kitchen
already!?" Felix demanded. Whoops.
"…Huh? Oh! Felix, you're not going to believe this, but we have a DETICATED
FAN!!" I practically squealed into the phone. Real manly, huh?
"Whoa….
DUUUUUUUUDE! And he's at your house? Let me talk to him!" He said sounding very
exultant.
"Her."
"Then I must talk to HER. Please? I've dreamed of having fans my whole life!"
He said pleadingly.
"Yeah sure hang on." I covered the
mouthpiece and perceived over to Cara.
"Hey Cara. Felix wants to talk to you."
Was all that needed to be said before she jumped out of her seat and
rushed to the phone. She gracefully curtsied to me after I handed her the
phone. I laughed lightly as to not interrupt their conversation.
Heading over back to my room I passed Mia and brushed her shoulder gently. But that's all I could do considering she has a boyfriend and I have a girlfriend. But who knows. Maybe some day my fingers won't have to linger and they can take their time.
"Michael
James Moscovitz just tell me already!" Judith squealed into the phone. I told
her I had a surprise waiting for her and that she should come over right away
to see what it is.
"Nope." I protested. "You have to come over and look for yourself." I told her.
"Michael you know I hate surprises!! Just tell me!" she squeaked.
"Nope. See you in ten minutes." I said and hung up. Heh heh. Here comes the
shock of her month.
Judith
arrived looking flushed. Her cheeks were pink and her long, brunette hair was
wind-blown all over her black coat.
I opened the door to see her standing there with a grin. I kissed her on the
check and invited her in. She looked around as she took off her gloves.
"Well," she said to me once her gloves were safely tucked away in her coat
pocket, "At least I know nothing's going to blow up on me!" she said with a
smile. I took her coat from her and told her to wait by my bedroom door.
After hanging up her coat, I rushed over to my bedroom door. I saw her standing by my door in her jeans
and purple sweater. Fit her perfectly. I kissed her one last time before
heading inside my bedroom to light the candles I had set up.
A few little burns later and a light dim I was ready for Judith.
"C'mon in." I yelled nervously. My hands felt sweaty around the box in my
pocket. I prayed she accepted.
Judith's brunette locks swiveled around the door and I heard her announce, "Ready or not here I come." Then the doorknob turned. My heart rate increased and decreased at the same time. I grasped the box once more and then she entered.
JUDITH'S POV(first and only time)
There
was Michael standing in the center of a candle-lit room. He looked absolutely
strikingly good-looking as he was standing in the middle of the room with a tee
shirt that read "NIRVANA. FOREVER AND TOMORROW" and black pants. His
hair was gently falling in his eyes as it always does. Suddenly he spoke to me
in a nervous-yet sexy- voice.
"Judith," he said taking a step towards me and closing the door behind me, "I
know you're thinking I'd forget, but I wouldn't do that to you. I mean, I'm not
that stupid." He took my hand and sat me down on his bed. Then he took a
small box out from his side pocket. He handed me the box and with a small kiss
he said, "Happy Anniversary."
I opened the box and gasped. It was a beautiful silver necklace with my
birthstone in the center. I felt a tear in my eye. "Oh gosh." I said to him
with a small smile, "Michael, it's beautiful. I love it." And then I kissed
him. Longer then he had intended I guess by the way afterward he just brushed
my hair away from my eye.
"Open the bottom." He said to me and pointed back to the box. I lifted the box
cover and saw two concert tickets. To what show, I had no idea. I held the
ticket near the candle and read the top.
MAROON5
[opening act- No Good Reason New Jersey]
MADISON SQUARE GARDEN
SEAT AA7
I gasped again. Maroon5 was my all time favorite band. "Michael! THESE ARE INCREDIBLE!!" I kissed him again. "You're amazing." I said.
[ please don't hate me. O:-) ]
Mucho love
