Just so it's out in the clear, my inspiration for this story was from 'What a Girl Wants' however, it's not the same story. you'll see why. Also, just pretend that Doyle was never on Angel, and he's normal. He's not a half demon vision type guy. I also don't really know anything about English politics, so if i get something totally wrong, just pretend that it's an alternate reality, okay? Finally, a big thanks to all the reviewers, for both of my stories.
"This isn't good, not at all." Complained Lisa later that night. She was pacing around the drawing room, her father and James advisor, Ben, was sitting in a chair. "She is going to ruin all of our plans. Now that she's here, James won't run for prime minister. He'll want to spend time with her." She turned to face Ben, "I thought the divorce agreement was that none of those Americans could interact with James. You put that in the divorce agreement."
Ben stroked his small graying beard, "Yes, but I didn't make it so Elizabeth couldn't see him." "Why not?" screeched Lisa. "Because my dear," said Ben, "she isn't a threat to James career. Actually, here arrival is wonderful. I couldn't have planned it better myself." Lisa looked at him like he was crazy.
Ben smiled at her and clasped his hands together as he leaned forward, "Before the divorce, I was training Elizabeth to take over her father's place. She always showed a talent for politics. She could charm over anyone. If she had stayed here, she would already be running parliament, I'm sure. She also sees me as the perfect mentor and advisor, just like her father and grandfather. She won't get rid of me, and she will take over her father's place when he becomes minister, thereby securing our political power. The Foxes will be the most politically powerful family in England, next to the queen." He finished with an evil glint in his eye.
Before Lisa could reply to that, Buffy walked into the room with a grin on her face. "Hey Ben, Lisa." Said Buffy as she plopped down onto a chair. "How are you Elizabeth? Is everything as you remember?" asked Ben as he sat back in his chair. "Everything is wonderful, Ben. It's great. I just got done talking to Dad and being fed fruitcake by Grandmother. So, I came looking for you."
"Why would you be looking for me, dear girl?" asked Ben. "I was wondering, uh, what the plan is now. I mean, you were always the one who really planned and ran everything. So, now that I'm in the mix, I thought that uh..." "I would have your schedule." Finished Ben with a smile. Buffy nodded.
"Well, of course Elizabeth. Your return will be talked about, and I assume that you will be uh, following the path you started." Buffy nodded again, her face becoming serious, "Of course I'll be taking my place in the family, Ben. There was never any question about that." Ben nodded and began to stroke his beard, "Of course you will, Elizabeth. You are a Fox. It's in your blood. Well than, your schedule. Tomorrow I have arranged for you to be fitted for some proper attire. The day after is Lady Cox's garden party. You will be reintroduced there. That's about as far as I got."
"At least that's something. I'll be contacting some of my old friends, if that's alright. I wish both of you a goodnight." She did a slight bow and winked at Ben, "I'll have to be working on my manners again. It's been awhile since I've had to use them."
