In response to Anj0921, it was mentioned in The Crown that America has tried to make them all pancakes but burnt them. That was my goal for that chapter. Still, thank you for your review.
Photo #23: Princess Josie
After Josie stole Eadlyn's three favorite tiaras, she had them hidden in a shelf in her closet, just behind her casual dresses. Josie was always the one who would snoop around here and there for something sparkly that Eadlyn owned for her own pleasure of pretending to be a princess. Josie never meant to break them, but Eadlyn still kept them disclosed.
Eadlyn looks at the next photo on the wall. Her eyes sparkle just like the jewels on the tiara in the picture. In the photo, Josie stands in the middle of America and Marlee, wearing Eadlyn's favorite tiara. The two women look down at Josie, estactic at the young girl.
Eadlyn wasn't in the photo, but she remembers exactly what she was doing and it wasn't photo worthy.

"Josie!" A sixteen-year-old Eadlyn screams, running through the palace. "Give me back my tiara!"
Eadlyn chases Josie through the palace, running past maids and guards. Thankfully, it was a pants day for her so the run was easier. Josie holds the tiara she stole down on her head before skipping down the stairs. Eadlyn holds her breath, hoping the tiara wouldn't break. When she reaches the bottom, Eadlyn continues the foot-chase.
"Josie!" She screams again.
Josie continues running, ignoring her.
Up ahead, Eadlyn sees her parents along with Josie's. She looks at which direction Josie is running and in her own favor, Josie will be passing their parents.
"Mr. Woodwork, stop her!" Eadlyn calls out.
Carter sees his daughter running in his direction and stands in a wrestler's ready stance. Josie tries to run past him, but Carter reaches out to his side and swoops Josie up in the air. Eadlyn jobs cautiously, worrying that her tiara will fall out of Josie's head and onto the ground, but luckily the tiara remains sitting on Josie's blonde locks. Carter slowly puts Josie on her two feet again as Eadlyn approaches them, catching her breath and holding her slightly-cramping sides.
"Thank you," Eadlyn says to him. "Now, Josie - "
"Josie!" Marlee exclaims at her daughter. Eadlyn thinks that Josie will be scolded for stealing her tiaras, but thinks otherwise when Marlee begins smiling. "You look beautiful!"
Eadlyn's jaw drops as Marlee fixes Josie's hair from all the running. Josie smiles and ruffles her skirt. America helps Josie make herself look better in Eadlyn's tiara. Eadlyn crosses her arms, leaving herself a sweating and panting mess. She hated that Josie could just get away with schemes like this or worse, get praised for it.
"You look just like a princess!" America exclaims.
Josie flashes a smile which Maxon snaps a picture of. What he fails to capture (and what everyone fails to notice) is Eadlyn rolling her eyes and taking a sharp breath. All four parents dote around Josie as Eadlyn stands behind them, now crossing her arms. All she wants is her tiara back in her room and on a shelf high enough and well-hidden to keep a Josie Woodwork away.
Guys, I am heading back to school tomorrow so my updates will be slower from this point on. I still have chapters planned and will post when I can, but I seriously have to get my shit together. Feel free to still leave me some ideas and I will write them when I get the time, I promise.
