Thanks for your comments! It is my first ever book and I am not quite sure what I want to happen at the ball. So tell my what you think! Give lots of ideas! (Sorry the chapters are short, but I make them up as I go and am usually in school when I write them).

DISCLAIMER: I do not own any of Ella Enchanted characters or anything.

The only thing that I could think about was when I would be getting home, where Hattie would be the boss of me again and make me undress her and get her situated for bed.

As the carriage approached the castle, my breath was taken away. It was beautiful. It had giant welcoming windows, with a grand door, made of oak I decided. It must have been a foot thick because it took several men to open such a huge door.

Once inside, I felt a sense of power. Such nobility and strength. I gasped and Hattie glared at me. She quickly took me to the side to tell me if I got in the way of her plan to marry the prince, that I'd be very sorry. I didn't doubt it. She also told me to stay far away from her; I had no problem with that.

After we were announced, Hattie got in line to meet that prince. I could tell the ball wasn't the prince's idea of having a good time. He was gazing past all the faces, as if to see a speck of dust, instead of all the eligible young maidens in the country.

I decided that it would be a good idea to go outside and listen to the music far away from Hattie and her precious prince. It was a lovely night, with the stars out and the fountain in the middle of the garden, beautiful.

After looking around carefully, making sure that no one could see me, I laid down in the grass. I know, not the most lady like thing in the world, but hey, who could judge me if no one could see me?

I didn't realize that I had fallen asleep, but when I woke, there was man walking over to me. I wasn't expecting anyone important, so I didn't get up.
