Dear Diary

Well I am going to try to tell this in a story format for future generations of Genovia. (This will be

Cheesy)

The bells rang out from the chapel telling the court of Genovia that it was Christmas day and the Christ child was born.

The Queen Mia went to center of the ballroom to invite her court and guest to Mass.

"We would like to invite the court and are honored guest to join my family and myself in midnight Mass." As the servants came in with coats and cloaks, for warmth on the walk to the chapel.

When all were ready the doors of the ballroom were opened to the path to the chapel. The Mass was beautiful as a Christmas Mass should be, but unknots to the Queen a plot was in suit to change her life forever.

The Grand Duchess Katherine Misaloe, Princess Asana, Lilly Moscovitz were in league with Lord Nicholas Devereaux so he could win her hand in marriage.

When the Mass had ended and the guest and the court had gone to their rooms. The Royal family was to go their private living room for the first gift that they always got after the ball and Mass.

Only in the path was Lord Nicholas Devereaux for the Queen was not to see him till it was time. Grand Duchess Katherine saw that her oldest friend was in the way singled Princess Asana and Lilly Moscovitz, to distract the Queen as the Grand Duchess Katherine ran to take care of LordNicholas Devereaux.

"Your back just in time Nick, but a little to soon. We need to hide you and fasted." Katherine said as grabbed his hand dragged him to the other side of the hall. "Now you come to the door of the living room in thirty minuets, got that Nick." She whispered and the joined the rest of the family in the living room.

As was tradition in the royal family that the Queen gave everyone a small gift and watched them open it. But when Grand Duchess Katherine asked.

"Mia I have a special gift for you, now would you please set down and hold out your left hand." She asked and when the Queen sat down and had done as she was asked. Lord Nicholas Devereaux came in and got on one knee and placed a purple diamond ring on her finger. When the Queens eyes opened to see the man she loved with all her heart on one knee and a ring on her finger, she cried.

"Please, my sweet Mia do me the honor and marry me?" Lord Nicholas Devereaux asked.

"Yes!" The Queen answered.

Well what do think diary not a masterwork, but not bad if I do say so my self. Here is the rest of it, the crazy parts that history of Genovia does not need to know, but the history of the Renaldi family should never forget.

I'm not going to put this in story format.

Well the night started like all, the Christmas Ball I have been to. (Only for me being the Duchess part.) Dancing, sing of carols and a ton of food and me in a dress that I can't breathe in.

When an hour had gone by Stavros came and asked me to dance.

I don't think I touched the floor and when we stopped we were under the mistletoe. I'll write this word for word. (WFW)

"Katherine, I did not plan this." He said as looked up at the mistletoe.

"It's fine I under stand." I told him as I started to walk away.

"Katherine, weight." He said to me as pulled me in to his strong arms and kissed me. I could have melted right then; I'm blushing just thinking of the kiss. (To be kissed like that ever day I would marry that man.)

"Call me Kat." I told him.

"Then please call me Stav." He answered and the kissed me again.

(It was even sweeter then the last.)

Well excepted for me blushing, the rest of the night, it went well till right after Mass when we got back to the palace and said Good nights to the court.

We were about to go on are way to the living room. When I spotted Nick right in are way. (Thankfully, Lilly and Asana saw him to and Mia did not.)

They grabbed Mia and started to lead her the other way. I went to Nick grabbed him and dragged him to the other side of the hallway where if Mia did not look behind her, she would not see him. I told him that I was glad that he made but he had bad timing.

But Mia still kept coming forwards us so I pushed Nick down to the floor and hid him with my skirt. (I knew this thing would come in handy.)

Mia asked if something was wrong, I told her no that there wasn't anything wrong, I just tripped (12 acts of treason).

That did not work to well, because Stav came over to see if I was all right and with Nicky right behind me on the floor. It did not look very good.

(WFW)

"Would you mind tell me what is going on?" Stav quietly asked me.

I could tell was mad, but what hurt more was the pain could see forming in his eyes and miss trust.

"It's not what it looks like." I told him. "Mia, you and everyone ells go on Stavros will help me." Thank fully she bought that and lead everyone on to the living room.

"Nick can I tell him what is going on?" I asked Nick who was getting up off the floor.

"I'll tell him, I'm going to ask Queen Mia to marry me tonight." Nicky told Stav.

"And, my guess is Her Majesty does not know about it." Stav answered starting to blush.

"Yes, so it not what you think, I hope you are not mad." I ask him.

"No, I think we should go in to the living room." He told me.

"How long will it take for the gifts." Nick told me.

"Well it should take about thirty minuets for the gifts be handed out. If you are right outside I can come and get you." I answered Nick.

"That sounds like it will work, we to go now Kat before were missed."

Stav said as took my arm and lead me to the living room.

When we got to the living room everyone was seated and weighting on us. Well as said it took thirty minuets and every member of the Renaldi, Dashiell and honoree members of the families that were present had opened a gift. I got up and ask to Mia. "Mia I believe there is a gift for you just out side the door, but I need you to sit down, close your eyes and hold out your left hand."

Mia said all right and did what I asked. I went to get Nicky.

He saw me and knew just what to do. He came in and got down on one knee and placed ring on Mia's left ring finger and asked.

"Please, my sweet Mia do me the honor and marry me?"

To put Mia cried, laughed, jumped up and down, and kissed Nicky and some how got out the word yes.

When Nick and Mia stopped kissing, my ladies maids brought in champagne and sparkly cider on ice.

Well we toasted then Lilly's boy friend (the captain of the royal guard) walked in with Lilly's brother Michael.

Then Mia told Michael what was going on, then Nicky kissed her again and Stav kissed me. From what I found out everyone who had some one to kiss did. (What I thought was funny Asana who standing next to Michael, said 'This not fear, Oh well you'll do' and kissed Michael, full on the lips.) Then Elisa said that what grown up champagne does to them I don't want any ever. I just had to laugh, then Swann shouted it was snowing and everyone had to see.

That's about it. I have to go and sleep now.
