AN: Sorry I took so long, I had three exams and still have one coming up. And writing tests I have to do for next years Honor's class, which I'm trying to get into.

So thanks to the people who reviewed, and here's the next chapter.

Chapter 7

"My head in spinning,

I don't know what to think,

To say the least, I'm really confused,

Your wonder and just being with you,

Has really warped my mind,

You're all I think about,

But it's not that easy,

Oh, I am so confused,

Those nights, when I dream about you,

And suddenly, reality kicks in,

And it's not you by my side,

But I really don't want to be drawn from you,

Your wonder and just bring with you,

Has really warped my mind,

You're all I think about,

But it's not that easy,

Oh, I am so confused,

Then, dream meets reality,

And you both think you have got me,

But honestly, I can't quite decided,

Until I know what's true,

Your wonder and just being with you,

Has really warped my mind,

You're all I think about,

But it's not that easy,

Oh, I am so confused,

Oh, I am so confused."

Michael's POV

When Lilly, Mia and Tina had left to go shopping, I ventured out of my room in search of food.

I found some leftover cold pizza in the fridge and poured the rest of the Mountain Dew, which wasn't much, into a glass. I grabbed the local paper and sat down at the table.

Half way through his "meal" I noticed an ad in the paper that got my attention and I put down the glass that I had just been drinking from.

It was an ad for the Beauty and the Beast play that Mia had loved so much when she was here. And just my luck, they were selling tickets for tomorrow's showing.

I grabbed the phone and dialed the number that was in the newspaper.

I learned from having a...nice...conversation with what sounded like a girl maybe just a couple years younger then me, that there was in fact still tickets left for tomorrow's showing. I gave her my credit card number (I was a little worried she would use the number to go get some more tattoos, which she had described to me), and she said to give my name at the ticket place, and they'd give me the tickets.

So, now all I have to do is convince Lilly that I'm not trying to win Mia back, and that it is just a friendly gesture and outing. But, knowing Lilly, she won't buy it.

Oh well, her problem, not mine.

Mia's POV

I love shopping!! Well, at least with my friends, and not Grandmere. And I have to make sure not to buy anything that's from animals.

We're mostly done with our shopping, but we still haven't found the right dress yet. We've picked out the bride's maid's dresses (Light blue with a blue sash), the flowers, the caterer, the DJ (Yes, I actually convinced Grandmere to let me have a DJ and not an old people's group), and so much more.

We're sitting at one of the newer café's, having coffee and tea, and discussing more ideas for my dress.

"It should by really detailed." Tina was saying, "With flower prints maybe and beads, everything!"

"No," Lilly disagreed, like always. "It should stay more simple, but have one key spot of the dress where everyone's eye looks first."

"Mia, what do you think?" Tina asked, taking a sip from her herbal tea.

I looked at her and blinked. "What?" I said

Tina giggled, and Lilly shook her head.

"What are you really thinking about Mia?" Lilly asked, giving me a weird look. I think she was trying to psychoanalyze me.

"Nothing." I lied, and tried to turn my head so Lilly wouldn't see my nose flaring.

"Yeah right Mia." Lilly said

"Yeah, Lilly's right Mia," Tina agreed, "You've been sort of off in your little world today. No wonder you said no to every dress we picked out."

"Well that was just my opinion, but I'm just thinking, do you think it's too early to get married? I mean I've only known John for a couple of months [AN: I'm not exactly sure how long they've been engaged, so if I wrote something else earlier, trust the other one] and just don't want to rush ahead." I explained

Lilly and Tina were quiet for a second, then Lilly said, "But isn't it more your Grandmother's choice then yours?"

"Yes, but I get the final say." I told her, "But she was firm about the date. That's why I have such a free will about the actually wedding. Grandmere didn't really care, she just wanted it as soon as possible."

"Humm." Lilly said

Tina had been thinking for a while and finally said with a little smile, "You don't love him."

I blushed bright red and stumbled for words, "Well, I...I mean, well, um..." But I just gave up when Lilly raised her eyebrow at me. "No," I said, "I mean, he's a good, great actually friend, but no, I don't love him. But that doesn't matter when you're a princess, you marry who your family chooses, I was just lucky that they choice someone nice."

"But Mia, that's awful!" Tina said, "You should love who you want to love."

"Is there someone else?" Lilly asked, moving in a little closer.

"No." I said blushing, and again, turned my head.

"Well, it's getting late. We should probably head home. We'll look later." Lilly said, almost as if she were mad for some reason, and got out of her chair.

When Lilly had gone to throw the trash away, Tina leaned over to me.

"I'm on your side Mia. Even if you don't love anyone now, they should give you time." She said, and patted my hand.

"Come on guys!" Lilly hollered as a taxi pulled up the curb.

"Thanks Tina." I said, and we walked over to the taxi and got in.

Michael's POV

When the girls came back, I tried to get to talk to Mia alone, but whenever I had the chance, Lilly always popped up out of no where. So I finally I told Lilly to go away, and she humped, but left.

Mia looked at me oddly.

"Is there something you'd like to ask me Michael?" She asked

"Yeah, um, you know when you were still here. What was your favorite play?" I asked her.

She just continued to stare at me, but soon as smiled and exclaimed, "Oh, the Beauty and the Beast!"

I showed her the ad in the newspaper, and she flipped out.

"There's a show tomorrow? There still doing it?"

"Yeah, and guess what?" I paused for a dramatic effect. "I got you, me and Lars tickets." And I am not lying her when I say she actually jumped up, and gave me a hug. I am not kidding.

I was in heaven. Well, until Lilly came in and noticed what Mia was doing and gave me a 'What do you think you're doing?' look.

But I merely smiled, and returned Mia's hug.

Mia's POV

Michael got tickets to Beauty and the Beast! This is great! I am so glad I decided to come back to New York. Maybe I can convince John to stay here for our honeymoon, but I think he wouldn't like that too much.

Wait....I just remembered...John is coming tomorrow.

I'll call Lars and ask what time his planes coming in.

"Hey Lars," I said when Lars picked up. "Can you tell me what time John's plane comes in?"

"Yes, he comes in at 6:13, so I'm picking him up at a quarter to 7." Lars answered

"Shit." I mumbled under my breath, and Lars must of heard me because he sort of laughed and said, "Other plans Princess?"

"Well, yes, Michael invited us to Beauty and the Beast tomorrow." I explained

"Why doesn't John have my ticket, that way John can get to know Michael and see some New York entertainment." Lars suggested

[I know you guys are hating me for this, but don't worry, I have a plan.]

"Okay," I said, not quite sure. "I guess that'll work. Let me go tell Michael."

"All right, call me if you need anything Princess."

"For the last time it's Mia Lars." I told him but he just chuckled and put the phone down.

Michael POV

And my fairy tale stops...now.

Mia has just informed me that she forgot about John (the good thing), but Lars has offered to give up his ticket, and now it's going to be me, Mia, and John going to the play (the bad part).

Oh well, I guess I always sort of knew this was never going to work out.

(The Next Morning)

Mia POV

I can't say I'm too hungry. This whole John and Michael thing has really got me worried. And I just can't seem to forget what Tina said yesterday.

"You don't love him." It haunts me in a way.

But I should probably at least go have some toast so Lilly doesn't think I'm anorexic.

When I got into the kitchen though, Lilly, Tina and Michael were all standing over the table looking at something with big eyes and a 'what the crap?' look on all there faces.

"What's going on?" I asked

"Oh Mia," Tina said looking up, then shot a nervous glance at Lilly.

"Mia, you might not want to look at the paper." Lilly advised me

"What are you talking about Lilly? What's wrong?" And before they could protest I grabbed the paper, and looked in horror at the front page.

It read............

AN: Dun, dun, dun. Yeah, I'm sure you guys both and me and love me for this chapter, but review and tell me what you think. Or guess about what you think the paper's about.
