I'm afraid that this Chapter isn't going to be very accurate as I am Welsh, not American and therefore have no knowledge about San Francisco and the best places to go for Picnics…even if there are any!

Clarisse was sitting behind her desk staring at her Granddaughter with her eyebrows raised. Her gaze shifted from Mia to Joseph and then back to Mia again;

"You seriously expect me to just drop all of this paper work in order to be taken to some 'unknown' destination?"

Mia stood up from where she was sitting and made her way round the desk until she was crouching next to the Queen

"Please Grandma! You can even take the paper work with you if you want but can you please just do this for me? Pretty soon you will be going back to Genovia and I'll be going to College so we won't see each other and I really have got used to seeing you every day…Please!"

Mia clasped her hands in front of her and gazed at Clarisse with her best puppy-dog eyes; the result was a lady like sigh and a surrender of the hands

"I'm really not going to win with this one am I Joseph?" the Queen asked of her Head of Security

"I'm afraid not Your Majesty and not to worry everything has been arranged by Mia with a little input from myself and Charlotte and Mia is correct you may bring the paper work with you if you wish, however I do felt hat you would have more fun if you left it behind"

Joseph said all of this with a small smile gracing his lips, he knew that the spontaneity of this little outing was killing the usually organized Queen but then again he also knew that she would do anything to spend time with the Granddaughter whose childhood she had missed out on.

Clarisse sighed once more and then began to smile

"Right let's do this and I AM taking the paperwork with me!"

Mia jumped up and gave a squeal of delight

"You won't regret this Grandma!" She yelled whilst flinging her arms around the older woman

"Let's hope not" Clarisse muttered under her breath.

Sorry this chapter is so short but I have been so busy lately! Once again reviews would be do welcome! Thanks Cat xx
