Wow! Thanks for all the great reviews! I really want to break 10 so I hope this chapter is up to it. I really like writing both characters and I hope that I'm capturing Mia right. It's hard; I'm not the author so I don't really know how it all should go. I hope you guys like it and if you guys have any ideas for another story (I really need some ideas) feel free to give me them!

Disclaimer: As usual, nothing that you recognise belongs to me. I own Madison and a few other characters that will be coming up in the story!

The Loft

When I saw Madison at the airport only one word came to mind: plastic.

Her hair was that honey blond color that I hate, her nails were acrylic and totally overdone, her clothes screamed 'California'. Her entire aura was that of someone who is too cool.

Of course my entire family (all who completely adore her) practically died at her feet. Mom and Mr G ran over to her and started to question her about the flight leaving Rocky with me. At least I have Rocky; he's gotta be with me on this one.

Oh God, and Grandmere. When she heard that my cousin from California was coming she suddenly got that 'Amelia, tell me about this cousin' thing going. She completely fell in love with her, I am so sure.

Everybody always falls in love with Madison. I remember going somewhere with her and like, everyone totally fell at her feet. They looked at me like I was a freak but oh no, for Madison, lay out the red carpet and buy the best of the best.

Suddenly I hear Lilly choking. With laughter that is although one day I wish she would choke. She's been bugging me about a new proposal for the school council deal.

'What?' I said irritated.

'That's your cousin?' she laughed, turning like a shade of Lana Weinberger pink.

'Yes, that is my cousin,' I turned to face her. 'Have we not been through this?'

'Amelia!'

Grandmere. Damn, I forgot about her.

'Yes Grandmere?'

'Are you not going to introduce me to your charming cousin?'

Why yes, in a minute Grandmere, I'm busy right now…dying.

'Amelia!'

The tone of her voice told me meet 'n' greet started now.

We walked over to her. Well, Lilly, Grandmere and I did; Rocky was being carried by Lilly.

'Mia!' Madison shrieked. 'Thank you so much for letting me stay with you and your gorgeous family. Oh my gosh, this must be Rocky,' she cooed grabbing him off Lilly.

Lilly gave me her patented incredulous look.

Yup, that's my cousin. She may look sweet but underneath all that makeup lays an interior of steel and quite possibly gold as well.

'Mia, maybe we should take Maddie back, it's been a long day I'm sure…'

But Mom never got to finish that sentence because Grandmere interrupted.

'Madison charmed to meet you. I am the Dowager Princess of Genovia, Clarisse Renaldo.'

'Your highness, please to meet you,' Madison simpers. God how I hate her!

'How was your flight? First class I presume?'

'Of course your highness. Daddy simply won't let me fly by anything else.

'Wise man, my dear. And please, call me Clarisse.'

And with that they walk off, oblivious to anybody else.

Mom and Mr G (Frank) pick up the million and one suitcases Madison had with her and made their way with Rocky out the airport leaving Lilly and I.

'So,' Lilly says, 'That's the famous Madison.'

'Hollywood it-girl in the flesh. I am so screwed.'

And now, as I sit in my room watching Madison through me the dirtiest of looks while she's on the phone to Shelley I think I'm right. I can see the Black & Decker from her.

Great.
