When Lily arrived at the ball, it was already in full swing. On the other side of the room was where the King and Queen sat. The current song had just ended.
The Prince noticed Lily almost immediately, and walked over to her.
"I did not see you earlier, did you just arrive?" asked Prince James.
"Yes, I did your Highness," replied Lily shyly.
"That's needless, please call me James," he said with a smile.
"Okay James," she said. It was strange because Lily had never called him anything without adding Highness or Prince.
"Would you like to dance?" James asked, offering Lily his hand. He was intrigued by this lady he had never seen before, and her stunning green eyes.
"I would love to," Lily answered.
While they danced, they continued to talk. "What do you like to do in your free time?" James asked.
Lily responded, "When I get the chance, I love to ride horses."
"Really? Me too. If I do say so myself, my friends and I ride pretty well. I'll have to introduce you later," James said excitedly. He hated it when girls wouldn't do a thing for fear it of mussing their hair or breaking a nail.
The song ended, and Petunia came waltzing up to the Prince. "May I have this dance?" she asked, fluttering her eyes.
Not wanting to be rude, the Prince agreed. Lily started to walk away when he said, "I'll catch up with you later. I must introduce you to my friends."

Lily danced with some other people that night, but didn't enjoy dancing with any of them as much as she did with the Prince.
She was sitting down near the refreshments table when the Prince came up to her again.
"I think I've danced with everyone now, so I can start repeats," he said with a smile.
"Okay," Lily said as she nearly jumped out of the chair.
James seemed to be looking around for someone. "Actually, wait right here for a minute. I'll be right back," he said. He returned with two other guys. "This," James said, pointing to the one on the left, "is Sirius Black. And this is Remus Lupin." He turned to face his friends and said, "This is the girl I told you about. She loves to ride horses."
Both Remus and Sirius said, "Hello."
Lily curtsied and said, "Hello," shyly. James had not only remembered he promised to introduced her, but had followed through on it. That had to be good.
"We should all go riding sometime," suggested Remus.
"Yes, I think bareback would be the most fun," said Sirius with a glint of mischief visibly in his eyes. He expected Lily to say something like, "Oh, I only ride sidesaddle," or whatnot.
"Bareback is quite fun, as long as you don't have a bony horse," Lily said with a smile. She expected him to be surprised at this; most boys thought girls were all scared of doing anything that could harm them in any way.
The orchestra started a new song. "Well, I shall see you two later," James said. "I have a lovely lady to dance with."

Lily really enjoyed the ball, she was so glad Faerie Godmother had been able to help her come. James had danced with her most of all the girls in the room, and he was so kind. She really enjoyed dancing with him, as they were now.
All the sudden Lily heard the clock start to chime. She saw that it was midnight. "Oh no, I must go," Lily stammered, as she broke away from James. She started running out the door and towards her carriage.
"Wait!" James called after her. "I never even got your name!"
Lily heard James, and wanted to stop and tell him, but knew she was in danger of all the items changing back any moment. As she was running down the steps, one of her glass slippers fell off. She almost started crying. Lily wanted to go back and retrieve it, especially since it had been her mother's, but again, kept running on.

When Lily arrived home, her Faerie Godmother was there waiting for her.
"I lost one of the glass slippers," she sobbed as she fell into Faerie Godmother's arms.
"I know, I'm sorry child. I don't know if I can get it, but I will try. If it's still there after everyone leaves, I'll fetch it," said Faerie Godmother.
Lily got into her nightgown, deciding not to wait up for Janine and Petunia. Faerie Godmother sang to her until Lily fell asleep.

Again, I know this is a short chapter, but most will probably be like this. There won't be too many more, this is going to be a short story. R&R por favor.
