I slept like a baby last night. I woke up to the smell of blueberry and chocolate pancakes. I got out of bed and I got changed into a pair of denim short shorts and a blood red cami. I walked to the kitchen and I saw Adrian sitting on the island watching Marc, my chef make breakfast. They both looked up and smiled at me when I pulled a pear syzmo energy drink . Yeah I know that they aren't good for me but they keep me awake. I chugged one and reached over to grab a pancake when Marc pulled the tray away. He put 6 more on the stack. He walked over to the dining table and put it down. The table had a ton of friut and breakfast stuff on it. Just looking at it made my mouth water.

"Well its good to know that she hasn't lost that appitite yet" Adrian had his smirk on his face and his drink in his hand.

"Well you still haven't layed off the sauce. So I think we are even"

"This isn't alcohol. It's a smoothie that your chef made. Do you want to try?" he held out his cup to me and I took a drink. It was really good and it had a slightly sweet flavor to it.

In my trademark Rose whine I said "No Fair! Marc! I want one!!!!" I saw Marc smile and walk over with a cup in his hand, He gave me the cup and walked back into the kitchen. I looked at Adrian as I took a drink and saw an absolutly gorgeus smile on his face… God ROSE STOP THINKING ABOUT HIM!

Just then the door bell rang and I sprinted to get it. I opened the door to see Queen Tatiana and my mother. I invited them in and we all went down and we had started to eat breakfast. That is until my mom spoke up.

"Umm Rose, I need to ask you something?"

"Yeah sure." I took another bite of my food and looked at her expectantly.

"Have you thought about the queens offer?" I wasn't expecting her to ask that so I was a little surprised.

"Well I have. I just have a few questions to ask the queen if that is okay?" I was asking my mom and the queen at the same time. They both nodded and looked at me with their full attention. I had to wonder what had happened to the notion that Lissa was next in line for the throne.

"What about Lissa. I thought she was next in line. Not…" I was cut off when I was sucked into Lissa's head. Excitement, Nervousness, fear, and love had hit me all at once. I soon got over that, I saw where she was. To my astonishment, her and Christian were pulling up my private road. I pulled out of my head to see everyone looking at me in concern. I heard the door bell ring and I dashed to the door pushing everyone out of my way. I could hear my mom right behind me. I got to the door and swung it open. I saw Lissa and Christian standing there. I had tears running down my eyes when I pulled Lissa in for a hug. We both stood there for a minute just hugging each other when chase dashes up the driveway. He took the hummer. UH OH. Chase opened the garage and pulled the car in. Christian was staring in awe at the car that was in the garage and at chase. He looked back at me and he smirked.

"I see you haven't changed very much." Christian hadn't changed one bit. He was still Sparky in my eyes.

"well you certainly haven't." I looked from Christian to Lissa and saw her looking at Chase. "Guys, you might have heard of him. This is Chase Montage." After I said his name I cleared my throat.

Christian stared at him with wide eyes. "Chase Montage. THE Chase Montage?! The Dhampir Tattooist?" Chase nodded and shook Christians hand.

Lissa looked at me and thought "Rose! Don't be impolite" while she had her regal smile on.

"Chase. This is Vasilisa Dragomir Aka Lissa and Christian Ozera aka my royal pain in the ass." I said the last part laughing. Christian just stood there and was still gaping at Chase. Chase took Lissa's hand and gave it a kiss. Lissa smiled and Chase looked at me like he wanted to be out of this situation forever.

"Chase, Can you go ask Marc if he can make anymore of those wonderful smoothies, Please. Oh and make sure Adrian isn't into the stuff." He smiled and bid me Adu. OKAY there is something wrong with him today. As he left I invited Christian and Lissa in. When I turned around I heard lissa gasp. I got sucked into her head and I felt sorrow and denial when she saw the tattoo that chase had done for my Molnija marks. I pulled myself out of her head and told her it was alright and that I would tell her in a minute. I lead them into the dining room where everyone was. Lissa smiled at everyone and sat down at the table. I told Lissa and Christian the story that I had told everyone else. Lissa Cried at some parts and smiled at others. Talking with everyone made me realize that I really had missed everyone. The only two that were missing was Eddie and Mia. I asked Lissa about them and figured out that they had gotten married. Who knew those two would get together. It was all good until my mom had brought up the conversation that we were having before they had arrived.

"Rose what was your question, again?" I sighed looked at lissa. She seemed truly interested in what I had to ask.

"well , What does lissa think of all of this? I mean she was in line for the throne when I left." I looked at the queen for the response but surprisingly Lissa was the one who responded.

"Rose, I had a conversation with the queen about a month ago. She was talking about how she wanted to break the cycle and tradition of who was to rule. Christian would have been King and I would have been queen if I hadn't said anything. But you were always in my mind as the one who took control of things and how much power you could have when you talked to someone. You, to me and Christian" Christian took over at this point and what he said next stunned me speechless. "should have been queen. Rose, people listen to you and you have had an impact on things, even after you left." Lissa was smiling radiantly and Christian looked so regal in what he had said. I looked at Tatiana and she had a smile, while my mom had a smile and tear had run down her face at the moment. Thinking about it, Could I really be queen and take on that much responcibility? I was absolutely scare for what would lay ahead if I had accepted. How would the Moroi and the Dhampir community accept me? Who cares! If they don't like me, they can deal with it. Then something popped into my mind and this kinda scared me.

"Who would be king?" I said this with wide eyes Everyone busted up laughing at me and then I felt like a 5 year old who felt out of the loop. So to act on how I felt I huffed, scrunched up my face and crossed my arms. My mom started laughing even harder and said in between laughs "Rose, I haven't seen you do that since you were 3!" Once everyone had calmed down, I looked at everyone and I asked the question again.

"Rose you can have whoever you want as the king. I'm sure Adrian would like that a lot if he was" Tatiana responded with a smirk on her face and Adrian looked at her in horror and blushed. At the moment She was done, Lissa decided to ask the question I didn't want to answer yet but had to. " Rose soooooo.. What have you decided?" I looked at Chase and got an idea.

"Chase, I just thought of something. Can you tattoo Queen Hathaway on my tattoo somewhere?" as soon as I was done saying that I was tackled by Lissa with congrats and a huge hug. I looked up at everyone and they all had smiles on their faces. What had I gotten myself into.

"Rose. I still need to do your tattoos. Can we go to the study in about an hour to do them. Im sure everyone wants a tour of Mansion La Hathaway." Everyone nodded when chase said that I should give them a tour of the house. I motioned for everyone to come with. I took them to the garage first and watched as Christian's eyes almost pop out of his head. ( A/N I expanded the garage from a 3 car to about a 7 car garage plus a little space) He saw the hummer, aston martin, Farrari, Mercedes, and the jet skis, the boat, the 2 sports motorcycles, and my baby the Volvo. On one wall I had my winter gear and summer toys, as I liked to call them. On another wall I had tools for the staff that took care of the engines. Then he layed his eyes on the ATVs. I personally didn't want these but Chase had one and he brought it over and I had fun so I bought a few…. 6 of them. "Christian…. Christian…" lissa was trying to get his attention but wasn't having any success so I did what I did to chase when I first got them. I went and stood in front of him and said " you know f you keep standing here and don't get moving, I won't let you play." He immediately snapped out of it and blushed. After this I lead them on the tour spending a little longer than nessary in the game room, the range, the spa room and of course my closets.

After about an hour, they followed me to the study where everyone else was.
