Um hi? This is the author's sister. Since the author was being lazy and didn't feel like updating, I decided to do it for her. So, all the contents in this chapter is written by me!

Yay...

Anyways, I hope my writing reaches your guys standards and that I didn't completely butcher the two characters I wrote about.

Miss Emmeline Auron, Denbeigh, 6

I was currently in my living room wringing my hands together nervously. My mother had tried to calm me down, but I was anxious to see if I was selected or not. Getting selected would be an amazing opportunity for me, especially since the money would help with our financial issues. There was also that small part of me that sighed dreamily at the thought of being wooed by a prince. Not that I would ever admit it.

As the Report finally came on the TV my family also gathered into the living room. My mother smiled reassuringly at me once more, while my father just sat down without giving me a glance. Kyle, my younger brother, sat himself to my immediate left. He was practically bouncing in excitement, causing a small smile to form on my lips.

"If you don't get selected Em, then the prince must be crazy! I'll go up to the castle and kick his butt for not choosing you!" Kyle exclaimed with a conviction that only a 10-year old could have.

I chuckled lightly at his attempt to cheer me up, "Thanks Kyle, if I don't get selected at least I know that you'll always be there for me."

I turned my attention back to the TV, just in time for the Royal's speeches. The King, Prince, and Princess were all charming but it was the queen's words that struck me as the most powerful. Finally, it was time for them to announce who the Selected were.

As they finished announcing the girl for Dakota, my breath caught in my throat. On the screen was a picture of me, seashell necklace and all. I couldn't believe what I saw until my name also left the announcer's lips, sounding both wonderful and foreign at the same time.

"Miss Emmeline Auron of Denbeigh, 6"

I almost had a heart attack when I saw the prince smile at my picture. Was this really happening to me?

Kyle gave me a cheeky grin, "Well, looks like the prince isn't crazy after all!"

Miss Jenieva Lucile Smith, Paloma, 3

I was sprawled out on my bed with my best friend Melinda beside me. The Report would be on soon and I was starting to get anxious. What if I didn't get selected? Would my family be disappointed in me? My nerves were all over the place and it probably showed since Melinda glared at me. She got off the bed and she stood in front of me, hands on her hips.

"Jenieva Lucile Smith. You need to stop doubting yourself so much! Why in the world would you not be selected?"

"Well, what if I'm not pretty enough? Or, I look too shy?" I replied back unsure.

Melinda's fierce glare softened into a more subdued look. She sighed tiredly before looking at me with a determined glint in her eyes.

"Jenny, you are beautiful and the sweetest girl I know. You're also crazy smart that it scares me sometimes. If you don't get selected then screw the selection! They'd be idiots not to choose you!"

I stared at her in shock, not believing that those words came out of her mouth. Tears pricked the corner of my eyes as I gave Melinda a grateful smile. She beamed at me back.

Our moment was ruined by a knock from the door. My older brother poked his head through the door an excited expression on his face.

"Jenny, why didn't you come downstairs? You missed it, they called your name!"

What?

Um, hi again. This is the author's sister again. That's kind of a mouthful to say, so if you guys need to refer to me for some weird reason I'll go by Anon. You know, because I'm anonymous.

Haha.

Sorry, I've never written a fanfic before so this is kinda awkward for me.

I don't know if I'll ever write another chapter for this story, because to be honest I'm not a huge fan of the Selection. I prefer fantasy and science fiction novels over romance. I'm also usually busy doing other things like homework. The perks of being in high school...

I mostly decided to write this chapter because I was bored. Anyways, hope you at least somewhat liked my writing. I at least thought it was better than my sisters. She has seriously bad grammar and spelling.

Um, please support the story?
