AN: Okie dokie, it's time for another chapter. But first, I want to do some shout out's for some reviewers.

Shout Outs-

chidi- That's a really good guess. It's not exactly it, but you are really close! Thanks for reviewing!

thetroublewithloveis- You know, you still haven't told us what the trouble with love is. You really have a thing against John don't you? Well, I do too, but he is really nice. Thanks Deni!

Draco-FutureBF- Well, here's the next chapter, but I'm sorry I didn't update quicker. I do need to work on that. But thanks for reviewing!

Stemil Krowa- I'm very glad you've really enjoyed this story. I've really enjoyed writing it. And I will *salutes* try my very best to keep up the great work! ; )

SoCalSurferGirl- Yeah! You now get to find out what happens after the cliffhanger! Hopefully, it was worth the wait. Thanks for reading and reviewing!

lady gwinnagim- *Lowers head* I am very sorry for not be nice. I know that wasn't nice, defiantly to nice reviewers like yourself. This chapter I promise you, will not have a cliffhanger. Just for you. But thanks for reviewing anyway.

reesespeices88- Your review made me laugh. "I personally think he died." More power to you! We need more people like you to run for President. Rock on, and keep up the reading and reviewing!

fizzie-lizzie- Wow, that was a lot of ideas. But I loved your ideas! The one where Grandmere hold the president hostage is my favorite. But then again, if she held reesespeices88 hostage (I suggested that she should run for president), then I'd have a serious problem and she might have to "accidentally" die of a heart attack. Thanks fizzie-lizzie!

castra- I am, again, very sorry (but very honored) that I deprived you of sleep and made you stressed. You have every right to sue.....but then again, it might not to well with my parents. So, here's another chapter, and I hope you decide not to sue. Thanks!

saltytheseashorecrabshell- Ah, my beloved Salty (Can I call you Salty?). Your review almost made me die (Again, my parents might not like that though). But, I think Mia's Secret Lover Arnaldo still has to wait. But I might still add him in. ; ) Oh, and I'm very sorry about "humped"....stupid computer. Thanks though!

Wake-Robin- That is a really good guess, and I was thinking about using it, but then Mia's Dad and Grandmere might want to put a restraining order on Michael, and that wouldn't be good! Thanks so much for reviewing, and I'm glad you like it!

JeSsAnnaH- I really must stop with these cliffhangers if I keep on doing this to my reviewers! I'm sorry I didn't update now, but very much hope you like this chapter!

And for those of you who have reviewed but I didn't give a shout out to, you are still very appreciated. So thanks, and here's the chapter!

Chapter 8

Stay away from my friends

They're smooth operators

looking for a way in

Stay away from me tonight

I've made other plans

and you'll just be distracting me

in a good way

She doesn't know

That I love her

Yes I love her

Make a move on me baby

I cant be the one who's

always taking chances

See me down

so you get down

No you've got me all wrong

I just want to kiss your lips

and you kiss back

She doesn't know

That i love her

Yes i love her

Leave us alone

your friends

and my friends

should go

far away

Mia's POV

There were two very enlarged pictures on the front of the newspaper. One of me, and one of John. Then under them, it said in bold letters, "Is it really love?"

The article was all about yesterday when Tina, Lilly and I were talking. They even got the part about how I said that I don't love John and how I blushed when Lilly (Or the "One with the pug face" as the newspaper said) had asked if there was someone else.

But then the was a part at the end that wasn't familiar; it was about John.

"Some sources close to John say," The newspaper read, "That John never loved the Princess. That he was merely using her, and he was glad when he heard that the Princess didn't love him back. John is not available for comment."

Michael POV

"Mia?" I said, sitting down next to her. "Are you okay?"

I saw her eyes fill with tears, and before I could stop myself, I had put an arm around Mia.

And instead of pushing me away like I thought she would, she put her arms around me and started sobbing on my shoulder.

In front of me, and behind Mia, Lilly raised an eyebrow at me. I just gave her a confused look back.

"It's not that I don't like him." Mia sniffled, "I just don't love him. You understand right?"

"Of course." I said, trying to soothe her. "Maybe this isn't the best time to bring this up, but remember, John's coming today, and we're going to the Beauty and the Beast play."

"That's just what I need. More press thinking that I'm now going out with two guys. Not that your bad Michael, but, oh, you know."

It was weird seeing Mia like this. This might have been what she had been like before, but when I saw her on T.V., she always looked so confident.

"Mia," Lilly said, "I think it would be a good idea to go to this with Michael and John. It will show that you don't care about what the press thinks. And Michael can help hoard them off."

"You're right Lilly." Mia said, and got off my shoulder and stood up. Damn.

"Of course I am." Modest Lilly said, "Now, why don't you go get dresses."

Tina had come back from the kitchen where she had I guess been making Mia breakfast.

"Here," She said handing Mia a plate with pancakes, maple syrup and a glass of Orange juice. "First have something to eat."

Mia's POV

So after I had eaten and gotten dresses, I felt a lot better. When I came out of the bedroom, Lilly and Tina were waiting for me at the door.

"We're going to go get you ready for tonight. I've already booked appointments." Tina said and handed me my purse.

I looked over at Michael where he sat, looking kinda sad.

"I'll meet you and John at Time Square [AN: I'm just going to say that's where it is. I'm not sure, so if you know, let me know]." He said I nodded and we left.

When we got outside, the press attacked us.

"Princess Mia, are the rumors true? Do you not love John?" One said

"Mia! Mia! Do you plan on eloping with someone else?" Another said, and Lilly snorted

"Mia's friends! Do you have anything to say?" One man said as we climbed into the limo.

"Wow." Tina said when we had gotten in.

"Let's go Lars." I said, and Lars nodded and drove away from the crowd.

Michael's POV

I watched from the window as the press swarmed Mia.

I couldn't help but feel bad that this had to happen to Mia, who was the nicest, sweetest, most caring person I had ever met.

But it just had to be my luck, that this girl was not only the one I loved, but was also a princess and would soon be marrying a preppy rich boy.

Oh well, I'll just go do what I always do: Go sulk by writing love songs to Mia, but never singing them to anyone.

Mia's POV

I'm now having my nails being done while another person does my hair, and Tina and Lilly are picking my outfit.

"Okay Mia." Tina said, "We put some outfits we liked in the dressing rooms. So when you're done here, go try them on."

"Thanks guys. I really appreciate you guys trying to help me."

"It's no problem Mia." Tina said

"We're going to go get some smoothies, do you want one Mia?" Lilly asked

"Yeah. I'll have large strawberry smoothie. Thanks." I said as the lady plucked my eyebrows. "Ow!"

"Yeah, it's painful." Tina said sympathetically, "We'll be back in a couple of minutes."

While they were gone, my hair, manicure, pedicure, and make-up was complete. Now it was time to try on the clothes.

Tina and Lilly got back just in time to see my first outfit.

It was a black cropped shirt with a denim skirt and knee high boots.

"This was the most casual one we picked out." Tina explained when I came out. "But it looks great."

It was nice, but I kinda wanted it to be more formal.

The next one was a slip dress that was blue and had a white sash.

"I like this one." Tina said, but Lilly shook her head.

"It looks good, but trust me, the next one is the best one for Mia."

I knew what she meant when I tried it one.

It was a strapless pink dress. It wasn't like a ball gown and all puffy, it fit my body perfectly, and I had to admit: It looked amazing.

"See?" Lilly said when I came out, smiling.

"I get what you mean. It's perfect Mia." Tina gushed

"Now, it just needs one last thing." Lilly searched in her purse till she found what she was looking for. It was the necklace Mom had given me.

"Lilly, that's for the wedding." I told her

"I know." Lilly said, but started to put it on me anyways. "But it will look so good with this dress. And your grandmother might not let you wear it for the wedding."

I didn't say anything because I knew she was right.

"Now go look at yourself." Lilly commanded and pushed me toward the mirror.

"What about my smoothie?" I asked

"You can have it in a minute." Lilly said

When I saw what I looked like though, it was amazing. When I was younger, I would have never dreamed of looking like this.

"This is going to be hard to top." Tina said, meaning the wedding.

My cell phone rang and Lilly got it.

"Okay Lars." She said after a few moments

"Let's go. Lars said John's plane has just arrived, so it's time to go. Lars is waiting outside for us."

"Okay." Tina and I said and followed Lilly out the door.

Thank God there was no press or this would've been hard to explain.

But it's going to be even harder explaining it to Grandmere.

But for now, I'm just going to go and enjoy myself.

AN: There you go. The next chapter will be meeting John and then the play, so you'll just have to wait to see how that turns out.

I'm writing another PD fic, and it won't be up for awhile, but I wanted to give you an excerpt.

I heard her suck in some air and then burst out, "Guesswho'scomingtoNewYork?" It was smacked together, and I could only make out the last to words.

"What about guess and York?" I asked confused

"No, Mia." She said, exasperated, like I had worn her down. Then she got all jumpy again. "Guess who's coming to New York?"

I couldn't say I really cared then. Tina thought the circus coming to our city was exciting, so this couldn't possible be too good.

"Who?" I said, not even trying to cover up the bored tone in my voice. Tina must not of noticed (or cared) the tone, because she said, "Come on. Guess."

"Um...." I said, looking back at the computer screen where I was playing Solitaire. "I don't know."

"Well, I give you a hint. I already bought our tickets, so it means that you must like them. I mean really like them." She stressed "really" so hard, I thought she was trying to do it slow motion. She still hadn't captivated my interest.

"Do you want me to tell you?" Tina finally said

"Yes, that would help." I said sarcastically

"Rooney!" Tina yelled and my head screamed "Migraine!"

Then I processed what she had just said.

Rooney........... No way. She didn't, I mean she couldn't-
