The plane ride there was boring, but Bonnie couldn't help noticing that Damon was still with them on the plane. He honestly didn't care, or didn't realize they had removed the curtain separating Coach from First Class. They'd done so for the sake of the movie, which no one was watching anyways, but the Teachers asked because it was in Italian, a great learning experience.

If only she could pay attention to the movie, and not Damon. But she didn't care, all she cared about was getting off the plane. The teacher even assigned them places on the plane! And she was stuck with Meredith's first boyfriend. The one she had a crush on for almost a year. And now she wondered why she ever liked him.

"And then, I told her that she should go blow her nose, 'cause there was this huge boogie hanging from it. And she went, like, totally hysterical and ran to the bath room. And then, when someone went to see if she was OK, she wasn't there!" he started laughing and Bonnie got angry.

She didn't care that some chick had snot in her nose. She got her head set and put it on to listen so something other than him rambling on about his summer pool party in Miami. As exciting as it sounds, it wasn't very exciting the way he described it.

She looked over at Damon for the hundredth time, and saw that he was happily chatting with Lisa about something. She watched on in amazement as she touched his arm and laughed, they were actually flirting. She almost hated her new friend then, but she reminded herself that Damon didn't belong to her, probably didn't and wouldn't belong to anyone, so he was free to be flirted with until she died young and still beautiful.

She put on her head phones and turned on her small radio. It crackled a little while she found any sort of radio station until she gave up and put in her mixed CD. The first song that started out was Nsync, a song from McDonalds. She was surprised she still had it, after buying it she'd dubbed it retarded, but as she listened to the lyrics she found that they matched how she felt very well.

"If I'm not the one you want... Then who's she? Take your time to figure out... And you'll see if I'm not the one you want... Then maybe... I'll be the one you need."

As she listened to the song, she found that it felt very true. He obviously didn't want her, but he still stayed with her. Her mind told her to give up and go with the Ryan guy that was already there and wanted to meet her.

But her heart was telling her to simply wait for him.

*~~*~~*

Once they got there, it was straight to the Castle, no shopping or dinning out or anything. The place, as the teacher told everyone repeatedly, was more than one hundred miles from the airport, and it was already mid day. The roads were OK, until about fifty miles had gone by, then they were little more than dirt patches that were probably used back when the Castle had been first built.

Then when they were about five miles from the castle, they switched to carriage. It was very cool that they would treat them like it was back then, but very hard on Bonnie's bottom. She was regretting that she chose to wear her tightest jeans. She looked good, but she felt horrible, and didn't know how much longer she would last before she killed the boy sitting next to her, who had his arm around her as if it was helping to ease the pain.

But when they got to the castle all the pain and oddities were worth it.

As they came over the small hill that led up to the giant structure it slowly came into view, as if they were watching a movie about it. Starting with the tallest peaks of the walls around it to the Castle itself, at the least four stories high, maybe even more. It was very beautiful with the different shades of gray rocks that gave it a final light gray color. Tall windows looked out from the bottom floor, ones that looked as if they would be floor to ceiling, a few decorated with stained glass that depicted a princess with beautiful white wings over her servants.

Higher up the rooms had balconies that had potted plants around the sides. The place even had the classic moat from the story books, but cleaner. As they got closer Bonnie could see that the water was crystal blue and that small fish swam through the waters instead of the scary alligators that dominate the waters in fairy tales. Wild flowers grew all along the banks on either side, and there were lots of guards on the top floors and around the gates.

The Castle itself was magnificent, but as Bonnie looked around the grounds she found that there was a pond with a few benches around it to the left, surrounded by weeping willows all around it. And a beautiful garden to the right. Actually the garden looked more like a maze, but a simple one because she saw a lot of different entrances and exits. The whole place was surrounded by a forest, which gave it that middle of nowhere feel. There were even adult servants and guards at the opening of the Castle to help them get inside and settled.

She loved it already.

There was one little problem with being there though.

"Where is my stuff?!" Lisa screamed once they were in and waiting for their rooms to be assigned to them. They were in the entrance hall, looking around. Bonnie thought that the entrance hall was as big as her house, it was so big with the tall ceiling and carpets. There was a large stair case in the back of the hall, and several doors that were opened that led to different rooms or other hallways.

"Yea, where are my bags?" Matt called after her, looking for someone who would be in charge. So far the only people who had any authority were the teachers and head servants.

"Calm down everyone." Someone said from behind Bonnie, making her jump and turn around quickly. "There was a slight problem getting your things here, we promise that we will try and get them here, but it seems someone has robbed us of the carriages that carried them with you." The guy said. He didn't look very bad. Tall, about six two, with brown hair and a very thin muscular body.

"Until they get here though, you will find clothes in your rooms, once I give them to you of course." He smiled. "I am Sir Charles Lionworth. But you may all call me Charles, or Charlie, I've heard that one a few times." They laughed at how typically adult he was being.

"We want to welcome you to Castle Angel. We hope that you enjoy your stay, and that you learn a lot about our culture." A woman said from beside him. She looked a little older, but still very much in shape. At least she still had the hint of her old curves.

"We have decided that we would make this like the last family that lived here, and hope that you would like to play it as a game sort of." the boy explained. Groans came from all the people around her, and she smiled. "You will get your rooms soon, I assure you. We both know it is a long way here from the city, but first we would like to sort you out into your proper places. This will be mainly for looks, if you look the part of a King, you will be a King, and such. But it will also be from drawings out of this hat." she produced a hat from behind her. "And from others suggestions."

"We can start with Princess Angel." the girl suggested, shaking up the hat. "This will be a drawing, so if we draw a boy I apologize in advance." there were laughs as she reached in, and drew three boys before finally getting a girl.

"Bonnie McCullough." she read slowly, her thick accent making it sound slightly foreign. Her head snapped up, startled. "Come forward and greet all your friends. You are the most important person in this game."

It took her a moment before she could get her legs to move her, of course with the help of her overly happy friends. As she moved forward she saw others coming from the rooms to watch, a few looking about her age. They were probably others who wanted to study this place. As she got towards the front, both their hosts looked at each other as if they'd seen a ghost, and then a faint smile spread across the woman's lips as she curtsied politely. "From now on, Miss Bonnie, you will be referred to as Angel. Princess Angel to those below you." Everyone laughed at how red she became.

"All right, how about we do the five Princes that will be trying for your heart later on in the game." Charles said, smiling at Bonnie and making a lot of the guys nervous.

"These will mostly be for looks, these boys were the finest of all the land her father owned." the girl explained. "One of the guys that most thought she had a crush on had dark hair, would all the guys with dark hair come forward." About 20 guys came forward, with looks ranging from drop dead gorgeous to downright scary.

"All right, again, we'll cut it down some more. This prince was rather tall for the time period, so everyone under, um five foot five, please step back." The guy said, and saw that only seven backed off. Bonnie looked over the guys, and was surprised to see Damon watching her with a guarded look. "OK." Charles said. "How about he was very slender, all the guys with a big body should back away." Five big guys backed off.

"And had straight hair that went down almost to his ears!" the woman called, smiling as four backed off, hands running through their curly hair or short hair.

"He wasn't too tall, so everyone over about… six foot two, please back away." Two guys backed off.

"And finally his eyes were black." Only one backed off, the two left were Damon, smiling lazily at the other guys, and Orion, who was African American so of course he'd have black eyes.

"He was very pale, it looked as though he didn't eat enough maybe." The woman said softly, and Orion backed off, mumbling angrily. "Here is Prince number one." She said with another funny look but still sounding cheerful. "You will play Prince Damien Smith." She said, and was surprised when Meredith and Matt laughed out.

"How about the other fellow she was believed to like. He had Blonde hair, so would all the guys with blonde hair come forward." Charles asked. And about 40 guys came forward. "Wow, a lot of guys here. How about we quickly cut this down so you can all get to your rooms. He had silver eyes?" all guys but one backed off, mumbling about how no one had silver eyes.

"Here is our other Prince. You will play Prince Brian Salator." She said, looking at him funnily too. She took in the features of this boy, the one who'd called her. He was playing a part that was his actual name, maybe he was named after a family member? He was very hot though, spiky blonde hair, glittery silver eyes, slender like Damon, but not as dark. It was probably the blonde hair though.

"The other Princes were chosen because they were masters at their own trades. Do any of you want to volunteer to play the part of a Prince?" Charles asked, after hearing the teacher grumble about wearing the kids out.

"How about Matt!" Meredith called out, laughter in her voice for the first time in months. Then she was saying, "Ow, what was that for?"

"All right, Matt, please come forward so that we can see if your good enough to become a Prince." the girl said, looking Matt over in a way that made him blush. "Anyone else?" she asked, happy with what she'd gotten. Bonnie was feeling overwhelmed. First she had the two boys she couldn't get off her mind competing after her, now she had Matt trying to win.

"How about Scott!" Lisa called, also saying, "Ouch! What was that for?!" not long after her outburst.

"All right," the girl said, eyeing Scott as well. "One more…"

"I'll do it." A voice called from the back of the group. A smile playing on his lips, his dark hair falling into his forest green eyes. He was standing there lazily, like Damon only it seemed more natural on Damon. It was way too much for Bonnie.

"And what is your name sir?" the woman asked, smiling broadly as if she'd just been given a huge prize.

"Stefan Smith." He said proudly.

Bonnie fainted.
