a/n: This is the last chapter of Part I, also known as the introduction. Part II has all the action in it, so I may be rushing to finish this chapter, so don't worry if it's a bit short or if it's written like I rushed it.

Tommy had a hard time sleeping that night. His royal canopy bed seemed cold and hard compared to the bed he slept in last night. Maybe it was the fact that he was speaking with Lil last night. Or maybe not...

Tommy looked under the bed. "Lil? What are you doing here?"

From her uncomfortable position under the bed, she answered, "Long story. I'll tell you in the morning."

(the next morning)

Angelica woke up. There was only one week left until her cousin's wedding. She opened her closet and was immediately drowned by all the stuff she jammed in there to make her room look more presentable. After getting dressed, she looked out her window. In one of the trees, Angelica saw two people. One was Kimi, but the other one could never have been Tommy. She smiled to herself, knowing that the other one was Kimi's servant.

Tommy finally got out of bed that morning, although he wished he could've slept longer. Lil had promised to meet him outside near the apple tree near his room.

Lil leaned against the tree outside, waiting for Tommy to come out. She heard a faint sound up in the tree, but thought nothing of it, assuming it was the wind. Lil finally saw Tommy come out of the castle.

"Sorry I'm late," he said as he ran up to her. "What'd you want to tell me?"

Lil took a deep breath. "Well, last night, I saw Phil come in late. I supposed that he'd brought the Princess with her, so I gave up my bed. Since there were no extra ones, I decided to sleep under your bed."

"Wouldn't that be more uncomfortable than anywhere else?"

"Yes, it was a stupid decision, wasn't it?" she answered, blushing. The noise Lil had heard earlier got louder. Finally, Phil fell out of the tree. Lil motioned Tommy to hide and see who else was there. A voice came out of the tree.

"AAAGH! I'm stuck!" It was Kimi.

Phil, being totally unaware of the other two people (Lil and Tommy) watching him, said, "It's all right, Kimi...just fall out of the tree, I'll catch you."

"Fine," she said, falling out of the tree. As Phil promised, he caught her before she hit the ground.

After an awkward silence, Kimi said, "You can put me down now."

(meanwhile)

In her room, Angelica watched all that was happening. A knock came to the door. "Come in," she said to whoever knocked. Susie entered the room. Angelica motioned her to look out the window. Susie said, "It's strange how they act like there wasn't going to be a wedding in one week. All of them act as if they hadn't a care in the world." She was right. But if Angelica could help it, the wedding wouldn't take place.

a/n: And that wraps up Part I. Look for Part II soon!
