Marco studied the paintings on the walls as he walked through the halls of the huge castle with a servant. The servant was showing him where his parents, King River, Queen Moon, and Princess Janna were meeting. Marco was snapped out of his thoughts as the Servant began to talk.

"Here we are, Good Sir." The servant bows respectively, and leads Marco into the room where everyone else is already there. Janna pats a seat next to her and gives Marco the same flirty stare. Marco makes a mental note to avoid Janna at all costs!

"Good Morning Sonny! Did you sleep well?" King River asked happily to Marco, who smiled politely in return.

"Yeah, the beds are pretty comfortable." Marco said smiling.

"Let's get this meeting on a roll then!" Marco's father said.

"Oh um, could me and Marco please be excused, I wanted to show him around the castle." Janna said looking straight at Marco.

"What!? There's no need for that! I could explore it on my own. " Marco said quickly, hoping they would say no to Janna's offer.

"Sure, I don't see why not! You kids go have some fun, let us talk in privacy make sure your back at 1:00 though!" King River said with a grin on his face.

"Come on Marco! I want to show you something cool." The way Janna said cool sent shivers down Marco's spine. Before he could retaliate, Janna grabbed Marco's arm and practically dragged him out of the room. Janna checked to see if their parents noticed them, they didn't because they were just starting to discuss. Marco quickly pried his hand from Janna's.

"What the heck, Janna!?" Janna gave Marco a sly smile and shrugged her shoulders.

"What ,Marco? You can't tell me you actually wanted to stay in there and listen to their boring conversation. All they are talking about is that peace treaty, we'll be fine skipping out on it." She scooted next to Marco and lowered her eyelids. Marco slowly inched away from Janna.

"Uhhh...can I go to the bathroom?" Marco asked quickly, Janna ignored his question and grabbed his wrist .

"That can wait! I wanna show you this cool book We're not allowed to touch." Marco raised an eyebrow at Janna.

"Why are we going to see it if we can't touch it?" Janna gave a sly smirk.

"The adults are distracted, thus giving us the chance to read the book!" Marco shook his head rapidly.

"Nope, Uh uh, I am not going through with this." Janna smiled.

"Who said you had a choice in the matter?" Janna preceded to grab Marco's arm, she took off running until they reached a room.

"Here we are!" Marco read the text written on the door 'Keep Out! (That includes you Princess Janna)' .

"Janna that clearly says we can't go go in there, it specifically says you can't." Janna rolls her eyes.

"Whatever, let's go in!" Before Marco could stop Janna, she opened the door. In the center if the room their was a large brown book, it was protected by a glass case, in a way it sorta glowed. Janna's eyes grew wide as she looked at the book. She felt a strong urge to pick up the book and read it. It was a powerful feeling, it was an extremely strong urge.

"Come on Janna! Let's go!" Marco looked at the door, he could see a group of guards marching their way.

"I'll come in a minute, I just need to touch that book..." Janna continued her walk towards the book.

"Hey who's in there!?" They both could hear a guard yell. Janna snapped out of her trance as Marco grabbed her arm an ran out of the room.

They both ran different ways. Marco found himself in a dead-end. He knew that if they found out, he and Janna were in that room, the peace treaty would be off. He could hear guards coming, he looked out of the window and saw a huge cart filled with cholthes. He jumped and felt a rush of adrenaline as he fell. He lannded softly in the cholthes. He got up and looked up, he saw the guards looking for him and Janna.

"Phew! That was close!" Marco looked at his surroundings, he was obviously in the city.

"Maybe, I could explore this place." Marco looked down at his cholthing and shook his head.

"This is not gonna work though, I should probably change. I'm easily recognizable." Marco his behind a wall and snuck his way around the buildings until he found a cholthes line. He grabbed a red hoodie,some black pants and red sneakers. He quickly changed, he through his other cholthes in a basket so he could come back for them. Marco put his hands in the red hoodie and looked around, people were bustling all through out the place. He had to weave through the crowd just to get through.

'This is going to be fun.' Marco thought to himself. He wasn't looking were he was going ,however.

WAM!

"I'm so sorry!" Marco looked up to see a girl with long blonde hair and beautiful blue eyes. He recognized those eyes and hair because she was that girl in the crowd. Her face was creased with worry as she helped Marco up.

"Its okay, I should've been looking were I was going." Marco gave a crooked smile , in hopes to ease the girl's worry. It worked. The girl gave a wide grin in return.

"Thank goodness! Sometimes I don't look where I'm going and WAM! I'm on the ground with a headache." Both her and Marco laughed.

"Yeah, I understand." The girl then looked at Marco in confusion.

"Hey, you seem fimilar. Yet, I've never seen you around before. Did you just move here or something?" Marco quickly panicked, this girl could not know he was, she would defiantly freak out.

"Well we're not exactly moving here, we're just visiting. You've probably seen my dad, we look exactly alike." What he said was technically true. They were visiting and he did look alike his father.

"Oh cool,I'm Star! Maybe I could show you around while your here!" Star gave him a grin. Marco couldn't help but notice how it resembled King River's. In fact there was a lot about this girl that resembled King River and Queen Moon. Marco decided not to mention the resemble, in fear of bringing up him and his parents. Marco checked his watch, it was just 12:04. He had plenty of time to hang with Star.

"Well...Okay. Let's go!" Star squealed as she grabbed Marco's hand. Both her and Marco felt a little spark when their hands touched.

"I promise you won't regret it!" The two of them then ran into the crowd, beginning a new adventure.
