CHAPTER 2
It was Saturday and the same day Lilly will be coming over. Mia was at her office speaking to her now grandfather, Joe. They were speaking about the wedding's details and how excited they are about it.
"I still cannot believe that I am getting married. And in Genovia- the country that I lead," Mia said as she looked at her engagement ring.
"As an amazing lady like yourself, it is no wonder that you should receive the best things this life can ever offer," Joe said as he kissed his granddaughter on the forehead.
The phone at her office suddenly rang. Joseph picked it up, "Yes? Ohh… Ok, the Queen will be there in a minute," Joe put down the phone and faced Mia.
"Who was it?" Mia asked
"Come, I'll show you," Joseph replied.
"Joe, why do you have to blindfold my eyes with your hands," Mia asked as they took one step at the stairs at a time.
"Shh… we're almost there," Joseph replied. Upon getting to the front door of the palace, Joe took off his hands from Mia's eyes and then,
"Oh my!" Two girls shrieked- the one, Queen Mia and the other, Lilly Moscovitz. Both girls ran towards each other and hugged instantly, obviously showing how much they missed each other.
"Lilly, I cannot believe that you are actually here! I missed you so much," Mia said as she faced her longtime best friend.
"Ahh… I cannot believe that you are the actually Queen of Genovia. Is this awesome or what?!" Lilly replied as she hugged her friend again.
"Oh, I have so many things to tell you. I think we should go inside and talk all day. Or at least until Lord Christopher of Spain comes to see me," Mia said with an ecstatic voice.
"Yeah, yeah, that'd be great! Oh, but wait, I have a surprise for you," Lilly said in excitement.
"Well, that's a very popular phrase recently," Mia said as she followed where Lilly lead her. Joseph went back inside the palace, leaving the two girls with their own business outside.
Lilly held at Mia's hand, taking her to her car. "Lilly, where are we headed," Mia asked.
When they got to the car, Mia saw a guy, leaning his back on the car's hood. He was playing with the keys and humming a familiar song played by Skinnerbox, Michael's now popular band.
"Oh my god, Lilly. Don't tell me you got a dude from Berksley," Mia said, emphasizing dude.
"No, silly. I just thought it'd be interesting if you saw this popular persona from before." Lilly went towards the brown-haired guy. She whispered something to him then the guy turned around.
"Michael?" Mia asked in the most shocked tone. Pleasantly shocked.
Michael smiled, "Hey Mia!"
