CHAPTER TWO IS HERE FOR YOU!
"Elizabella, pick up the pace!" Scarlett ordered as she and the other three females scurried about the busy town; weaving through different people who constantly stopped and gave Elizabella dirty looks while others gave her slightly sympathetic glances.
In her arms, Elizabella carried three large colorful boxes. One was purple, another was red, and the last one was a pea green color. Elizabella wore Giselle's pink hat on her head and she tried to balance Estrella's heavy tan colored bag that had her new expensive outfits in them. "I'm moving as fast I can, Stepmother." She answered the eldest of the ladies.
"Well, fast enough isn't good enough, faster! We have a few more stops before we head home." Scarlett wore a long red dress that dragged slightly on the ground. Her face was coated with makeup and she only carried her scarlet colored handbag. Giselle wore a Forest Green gown that also tapped on the ground. Her face was coated with a light appliance of makeup that made her skin shimmer in the afternoon sunlight. Estrella wore a Cerulean colored dress that did drag on the ground. Her face was clean with a smidge of Rosy Red blush that accented her cheeks. Altogether, they each looked and walked as though they were the richest women in all of the England and you could hear their heels CLICK-CLICK-CLACKING against the pavement.
On the other hand, Elizabella simply wore a dingy white dress that reached her shins and her tan apron. She simply wore her favorite black slippers that had a small hole forming right in the spot where her big toe was. Her face was plain as day and she had a little dirt stain on her left cheek from when she tripped over a nearby rock. She had also cut her hair just as Stepmother had demanded for her to do; it now was no longer down to her mid section, it was now down to her shoulders. As her feet quickened their pace on catching up to the others, she stumbled slightly and almost ran into Estrella.
Once the three were at the new shop that was simply called "Hats", Scarlett was the first to go, followed by Estrella and Elizabella while Giselle walked next door to the candy shop.
"Tell me, Mother, what do you think of this one?" Estrella asked her mother once she had a large frilly burgundy hat placed atop her head. It sprouted out like and umbrella and had a long pink feather on the brim, in which it hung down the left side of her face.
Scarlett took in the appearance of how the material looked on her eldest daughter. To be truthful, Estrella wasn't meant to really wear hats. Well, no, she's able to wear hats; it's just that they don't suite her well. Scarlett finally shook her head 'no'. "Estrella, take it off. You look more ridiculous than the sick Cockatoo that we saw on our way here." Then, she turned back to checking out the new purple scarf that she was previously examining. She didn't have to turn around to see Estrella glaring intently at her though and Elizabella tried to stifle a chuckle and smiled amusedly behind her hand.
Just then, Giselle ran into the shop while holding a large rainbow lollipop. "Mother, Mother! Estrella, Estrella! You won't believe who's here!"
"Who?" Scarlett asked.
"Prince William! He's here, he's here; right by the fruit stand!"
"Well then, let's go!" Estrella squealed. They all ran out of the store and headed to the fruit stand.
Prince William Oliver Turner stood at the fruit stand, examining a few grapes and cantaloupes that his mother would probably need in the fruit dish that would be at the upcoming ball in order to help him choose a wife. Beside him stood his friend and assistant, Jack Sparrow.
"Tell me, Jack, does this seem ripe to you?" William asked the other man. Sparrow looked up from his previous task of jotting down a few events in the daily log and looked at the cantaloupe that the prince held in his hand. He took it from Will and began to test it. Once through, he handed it back to Will.
"Yes, Your Highness; perfectly fit for cutting." He stated and then began to finish jotting down in the log. Will nodded before facing the wrinkled face of the manager and handing him a few coins to pay for the fruit. Both Will and his loyal assistant then left the stand and shopped around some more just as four women were heading to the fruit stand. The prince saw a coin and bent to pick it up, just as he was in the middle of standing up, he bumped into someone and all of his or her stuff fell onto the ground.
"Oh, I'm sorry." He apologized and looked up at the person. It was a woman who looked to be about twenty or so. She wore dingy clothes and her hair was a little bit of a mess; but underneath all of the grime, she was very beautiful. "I wasn't paying attention."
"No, no, it isn't your fault. It n "I wasn't paying attention."
"No, no, it isn't your fault. It was I who wasn't watching were I was going. I was too busy trying to catch up to my mother and sisters." She bent down to pick up her things and Prince William helped her. Once almost everything was picked up, they both noticed that they had missed the circular green box. The woman reached over to get at the same time Will did and his hand ended up resting on hers for a brief second before they both jerked their hands back fast, almost as if they had just been burned by a scorching fire. "I-I'm sorry." They blushed furiously.
"It's all right." Will said as he got up on his feet and helped her up as well. "I'm Prince William but I prefer if you call me Will."
The woman smiled sweetly and did her best curtsy, in which she had practiced from when she was a little girl, still trying to imitate Queen Natalie.
"May I ask yours, ma'am?" He asked and the woman blushed at being so naïve when she knew she was tougher than this and smiled at him again.
"My name is…uh…um…" She stumbled over her words and Prince William seemed slightly amused.
He really is a handsome man. She thought. "It's uh…um…" Come on, girlie, why are you acting like this? All he asked you was what your name was, not the exact coordinates to the moon! You can do it, c'mon and say it: E-liz-a-bell-a! "It's Elizabella." See, now was that so hard? Oh wait, it was.
Prince William smirked at her. "Elizabella. That's beautiful. Well, Miss Elizabella, I really must be going. It was a pleasure to meet you." He kissed her hand and walked off, leaving a stunned Elizabella to stand and stare at his disappearing figure just as Giselle, Estrella, and Scarlett were walking over to her.
