Coming back, to see those faces, I missed,

Coming back, coming back, coming back
Mia's POV
I looked out of my window of the plane. It was weird to be leaving Genovia, and going back to New York.
I had lived in New York until the end of 6th grade. Then I found out I was the heir to the throne, and Grandmere thought it would be better to move to Genovia to have Princess Lessons.
It's been twelve years since I left. My mom, Mr. G, and Matthew visit every Christmas.
The reason I'm back in New York? My wedding. I found out a month ago that I'm set to marry the son of the wealthiest family in Genovia.
I haven't met John, but have talked to him on the phone. He's very nice. Grandmere says he's tall with dark brown hair. He sounds like Michael.
Oh, god! I promised myself I wouldn't think of him. Well, so much for that. Just like all the other things I vowed never to do, but did.
It will be nice to see Lilly and Michael again. Lilly visited a couple times after I got to Genovia, but we've kinda lost touch since then. Mom promised to tell her, but with Matthew, who's 9, running around, she probably forgot.
Oh well, I guess it's better they didn't know I was there. I'd rather not like to see Michael again. You see, I had the biggest crush on Michael. Even though he was a year older, he was always really nice to me. But that's probably because I was his sisters best friend.
Well, about the wedding, it's going to be in about a month. I decided that since New York was my true home, that's where I wanted to get married. I had talked to John about it, and he said that was fine.
So Lars and I are going now, and Grandmere and dad are coming next week. We've come early to decided about where it should be held, the food, the dress, and all that stuff.
Mom was so excited when I told her on the phone, that she jumped off the chair, and I heard Matthew, who was on her lap, fall off.
I thought about all of this, until Lars interrupted me.
"Um, princess?" He said. I had tried to convince him to call me Mia, but he always addressed me royally.
"Yes Lars?" I asked, waking up from my thoughts
"We'll be landing in about 5 minutes, and your grandmother just called to make sure you'd check your hair and make-up before we get off the plane."
That's Grandmere all right. Always thinking about what's important.
"Clothing, make-up, and hair are the first things people see when they meet you." She had said at our first princess lesson. "Not your personality."
Well, she might be right on one account. The Genovian public hasn't noticed yet that a crabby old woman is ruling their country.
I opened my Gucci purse that Grandmere had given me for the trip, and took out my mirror. Make-up, hair; check, check
As I put the mirror back, I heard Lars say,
"Welcome back Princess, to New York."
Michael's POV
So guess who's coming back to New York after being away for twelve years?
Princess Amelia Mignonette Grimaldi Thermopolis Renaldo of Genovia.
Or just Mia as I had known her.
Who knew Mia could be a princess? Not that she can't be. But, I've never known a princess to be tall, large shoe size, yield sign hair (as Mia called it), a vegetarian, Greenpeace lover, and has a fat cat named Louie.
At least not any princess I know.
But you know, all of that could have changed. I don't know, I've never watched her on t.v., on talk shows, or when they talk about Mia's newest "love" or whatever.
That because the person I'd see on t.v. wouldn't be the Mia I'd known since the end of 6th grade. It would be the princess her crazy old grandmother tries to make her be. As Lilly told me.
And defiantly not the Mia I had a crush on. Yes, let's all laugh are heads off. I had a crush on Mia. I mean, come on, it wasn't even that big..okay, understatement of the world. I had a BIG crush on Mia.
And somehow, Lilly always knew. That's why she's dragging me off with her to meet Mia when she gets off the plane.
And Mia's mom, Ms. Thermopolis (or Mrs. G, whatever), invited us over for dinner.
So, right now I'm standing in front of my mirror, trying to decide what to wear.
I decide on a black tee shirt, and jeans. As I walk out, smoothing down my hair, Lilly grabs me by the wrist and drags me out of the door.
[AN: Just to clarify, Lilly and Michael don't actually live together. They're just staying at their parent's apartment over the summer. ]
Mia's POV
Oh, god, we're just about to get off the plane. I look down at my clothing choice. Since Grandmere isn't here to nag at my clothing, I wore my 'Save the Whales' tee, jeans, and flip-flops. I would have worn my combat boots, but Lars checked the weather, and said it would be too hot.
I could hear the press even before I got into the airport. There they were, in their own little section, taking pictures. How fun.
As I looked around, the first person I saw was Lilly. Guess mom did tell her.
She ran up to me, and almost suffocated me, hugging me so tight.
"Oh, Mia!" She squealed "It's great to see you again!"
"Hi Lilly" I croaked, not being able to talk very well.
Someone laughed behind me.
"Lilly, you're going to suffocate her." They chuckled.
It was Michael.
Lilly took her arms out from around me, and blushed.
"Sorry." She said
Michael came up beside her, and stuck out his hand.
"Hi Mia." He said, and smiled.
Oh, no. His smiles are even better then I remember.
Michael's POV
God, she's more beautiful then before. If that's even possible. She's wearing her 'Save the Whales' shirt.
I said hi, and gave her a smile. She turned pale.
Great, now I'm making her sick. Way to go Michael. I wonder who that big thug is behind her. I just know I wouldn't want to get on his bad side. That would be deadly.
Well, I guess I don't have to wonder for long. Mia just introduced him.
"This is Lars. He's my bodyguard." She explained
Ah, a bodyguard. Great, know how am I going to get to know Mia if he's always around?
Defiantly when he's got those guns, and pepper spray.
Mia's POV
Michael seems scared of Lars. Which is funny because Lars wouldn't hurt a fly. Except if someone was trying to kidnap me or if they liked anime, like my old boyfriend did. Thank god Grandmere finally figured out that we didn't go together.
I looked around for mom. She wasn't there.
"Hey Lilly? Where's my mom?" I asked
"Oh," Lilly said, "She thought we should pick you up, and then we all go to her house for dinner." Then she got a nervous expression "Unless, you don't want us, because we could just go home, and-"
I cut her off
"Lilly, how could you even think that I wouldn't want you guys to come over? And knowing you guys, you took a cab, so we can bring you over there." I told her
Michael shook his head and smiled.
"You haven't changed a bit Mia."
Boy, after twelve years of princess lessons, Grandmere, and dad, it was sure nice to hear that.
