Author's Note: I totally planned on updating this weekend but wouldn't let me. Blame them for your suspense.

And surprisingly he did. I grabbed my bags and looked at my watch. In California it was only nine o'clock at night. Here it is three in the morning. "Did you need a ride somewhere young man?" my plane buddy asked me. "You are staying in a hotel over night I assume?"

I rubbed my eyes. "No. My sister is getting me."

"Your sister lives here?"

"No…"I started to say she was in the wedding. But I had lied before and said that I didn't know about it. How would I be able to pull this off? "She's been travelling since she is on break from school."

"You going to watch the big show later?" he asked, lighting up a cigarette. He offered one to me.

I shook my head, "I don't think so. I'll probably sleep it off."

"Well, good luck," he said with a wink.

The United States of America sent their FBI to investigate me, this is as much I am sure of. Why hadn't we thought of that? I mean, the U.S. has always worked closely with Genovia to ensure the safety of Mia. She is both an American and Genovian citizen. But why didn't he ever say anything? Why didn't anyone say anything?

Lilly got me. "Hey assface," she said with a yawn.

"Hey Pudgy. Grandmere let you out?" I asked. "I would think she'd want one of her lead players to be fresh faced to the world."

"Easy breezy covergirl," she deadpanned, looking to see if she could pull out. "I have the fucking Genovian flags on my God damn car! Why won't these assholes let me go!"

"Don't forget, I'm staying in the city."

She nodded and pulled out quickly.

"Did you do what I asked you to do?" I asked as we pulled into the night traffic.

"The flowers? Yes. They'll be delivered to her door with her wake up call at nine."

I got about three hours of sleep that night. I had to be up at six to get to the cathedral on time. I had to meet with the priest beforehand and to get dressed and mike'd up.

"This is rather immoral," the priest commented. "Would you like to catch some sleep?" he offered.

I nodded. I needed some.

"I feel like the friar in Romeo and Juliet," he said as I closed my eyes. He was very talkative. Too talkative.

"Yeah, I guess."

"But I wouldn't have her pretend to be dead…"

"Yeah, I know."

"But anyways I'll let you get some sleep. I'll get you when you need to go out there."

He had shown me where I would be waiting for Mia. There was this chamber where I could see out there, but no one could see me. I would come out when everyone's back was toward the altar and were facing Mia coming down the aisle.

Five hours later I woke up to hear loud chatter in the cathedral. "Father?" I asked.

"You can go into your chamber now," he said directing me hastily. "Evan has arrived with the dowager princess. Hide."

I hid.

I heard the dowager princess talking to Evan about his new responsibilities.
"Clarisse, I know what they are. May I please be alone before I go in front of all those people?"

"Don't be rude, Boy."

With that she left.

I poked my head out, "You are lucky you don't have to deal with her for the rest of your life."

He turned, startled. "Oh, hey man! Didn't know you were there! Nervous?"

"What, of hundreds of people out there? Nah. Of Clarisse having me killed? Yes."

He laughed. "She can't do a damn thing. And she hates me too so no matter what Mia would be marrying someone her grandmother detested. Why not have it be her husband?"

I laughed. "I think I better get back in the chamber so I can spy on the guests. When are you leaving for Miami?"

"Once the ceremony starts. I have a change of clothes underneath my suit here and a car waiting for me to leave. I wish I could see the reaction. Make sure to get a copy of the video."

We hugged (in a very manly way of course), and said good bye and wished one another the best of luck.

I still had forty five minutes before everything was going to start. The church was filling up with dignitaries I'd seen on TV thousands of times. Her grandmother is going to kill us.

"Michael," a voice hissed from behind me.

I considered ignoring it. To keep up my ploy of being Evan, but I slowly turned and saw Lilly. "Oh, hey."

"Here, Mia wanted you to have this," she said, handing me a card and a rectangular box.

"Thanks."

"Good luck big brother."

I winked at her and pushed her out of the chamber. I opened the card first.

To my darling Husband-

It's finally here! In only a few hours we are going to be giving my family…and yours, the shock of a lifetime. It's scary and exciting at the same time. I can't wait. Chances are our families are going to be really mad…mine more than yours, but still mad all the same. I can't believe that I'll be able to fall asleep with you tonight!

Having you holding me in your arms again has been a dream for me…the only thing that has kept me going the past few years. We'll finally have a proper honeymoon! A short one though, I want to get acquainted with our daughter. I cannot get over how grown up she really is! We really should work on getting her a little brother or sister, don't you think?

We can talk about all that later. I love you and can't wait to be your wife in front of the whole world. Enclosed are my journals from the past three years, starting from our wedding night. There are some spots that may be a little sad for you to read, but there's nothing you don't already know about. There are more books to this, but there's not much room in the box for them. You can have them later.

Love, Mia

I opened the box and found three books. She titled them all. I guess each was how she felt during that time. What was going on in her life then. The first was pink and titled 'The Princess Diary', then a green one called 'Princess in the Spotlight', then a red one called 'Princess in love' (I skimmed that one, it was her pregnancy with Ella). She was too creative for her own good at times.

My thoughts were interrupted because I heard the music playing in the church. I watched from my secret spot as the wedding march started. Her grandmother was escorted up the aisle by Mia's cousin Rene. Her other bridesmaids were escorted by men I had recognized, but not very well.

Wow. This is finally happening.
