A/N: Ok, I'm going to go straight to the point - I got really lazy and didn't work on this story for about 3 days after the last update. I'm sorry! I didn't think it would take this long since I did pretty well on updates before. /sigh/ Well, I tried making this a bit long. Key word: TRIED. I don't know if it reaches your standards but I hope it does. T^T I really am sorry! OTL

I do not own Hetalia.

"Elizabeta! Can you help me?" I heard someone call my name and I guessed it was Princess Felinciana. Princess Lovina wouldn't ask without at least one cuss word. "Yes Princess, I'm coming." I rushed down the hallway and entered Princess Felinciana's room. It was a nice, large room with large windows, a large canopy bed, a canvas with paints in a corner and also near the window, and lots of stuffed animals. Her walls were painted a soft pink, the same color as her sheets, and there were paintings all over them.

Princess Felinciana was on her bed, cross legged, trying to tie a bow for her dress. That's right! Later was the ball for her 15th birthday. "You called Princess?" I asked her politely. She frowned. "We're alone here Elizabeta. Just call me Feli." I sighed. This girl really hated formality. "Ok then Feli. What's wrong?" She smiled and pointed to her bow. "I can't tie this. Can you help me, please?" I had to stifle a giggle. She acts so much like a child even tough she's a teenager. "Of course." She turned around so I could tie it. When I finished I was about to leave when she grabbed my sleeve."Will you help me finish getting ready? I like it when you do my hair and make-up. Please?"

Oh no. Not the puppy dog eyes. Anything but the puppy dog eyes. "Fine then. Only to help you finish up though. Got it?" She smiled and nodded. I helped her fix her hair into a high ponytail with her bangs framing her face. I had to be extra careful about her curl. When that was finished I put blush on her cheeks and applied a soft pink colored lipstick and mascara.

I stepped back to observe her. She looked gorgeous. Her ponytail swayed back and forth as she walked and her bangs framed her face. Her dress was orange with a darker orange ribbon tied into a bow around her waist. The sleeves were short and slightly wavy and her dress was layered down to her knees with intricate swirls all over it. Around her neck was a simple, silver diamond necklace. She wore silver, open-toed sandals that wrapped around her ankles and glittered brightly in the light.

"You look lovely, Feli." She ran up and hugged me. When she let go she asked a maid to bring up her father, King Ceaser. Even though her grandfather, Remutas Vargas was still alive, he decided to pass the title to his son. He was a kind man and had a large sense of humor. Even thought the title was passed to his son, most people would still call him King Remutas, or King Remmy, but when it comes to royal affajirs and politics you would depend on King Ceaser.

After about five minutes both Kings came and asked the Princess what happened. "Would it be alright if Elizabeta attended the ball?" I looked up at her in shock completely forgetting that servants must keep their eyes downcast and not look directly at royalty. King Ceaser shook his head. "I'm sorry sweetie but-"

"I don't see why not."

We all turned to look at King Remutas. He walked up to me with his usual smile on his face and put his hands on my shoulders. "Eli, look at me." I looked him in the eye. "You have been taking care of my granddaughters for 7 years. You started as our stable boy, taking care of the animals. Whenever Feli and Lovi came with me to check on them, they got along with you quite well. After another year both of them requested you as their personal servant. I don't think I've seen them happier than the time they've spent with you. I've seen you when you work. You give it your all. I want to return the favor of having you as one of my most dedicated servants.
"By order of me, Elizabeta Hédeváry, you will attend Princess Felinciana's ball celebrating her 15th birthday. This is an order, not a request."

I was shocked. I have to go to the ball?! Looking back at King Remutas I saw his usual kind-natured smile. I then realized what he had said. "YAY!~ Liza's gonna go to the ball with me and sorella! Come on, let's get you ready for the ball!"

I found myself being pulled by Feli who now had a huge grin on her face. "Will we have enough time though?" Looking at the clock I saw that there was only an hour until the ball starts. "Don't worry! We';; have you fixed up by then, ok?" Her enthusiasm was contagious. I soon found myself smiling. "Ok. What do I have to do?" Her smile grew bigger, if that was possible. She dragged me to her bathroom. "Bath real quick, then come see me." I nodded and she left.

After a quick bath, which only took 15 minutes, I walked back to Feli's room wearing a simple, white dress she had someone bring me. When I entered I was ambushed by both Feli and Lovi, dragging me by the arms to their wardrobe. "Ok, like, let's see what I can, like, do!" I looked up and saw Feliks, the royal tailor.

He took my measurements and, for 10 minutes, raided the princesses' wardrobes. They didn't seem to mind, though. They were talking excitedly to me and each other about the ball. It seems like there would be a lot of people coming. Feli was excited but Lovi seemed really nervous. Poor girl. She's hated being around big crowds ever since she was little. I gave her a hug and said "Don't worry, Lovi. You'll be fine. After all, I'll be there if you need me!" I held her out at arms' length to make sure she still looked presentable.

Just like her sister, she looked gorgeous. Her dress was a dark red color that ended at her knees. It was very wavy and her sleeves ended halfway between her shoulders and her elbows. There was a simple spiral pattern on the dress and had a square neck, lacy bodice. Around her neck was an equally simple, gold heart pendant. It was a present from me and Feli for her 16th birthday. She wore dark red flats with a bow. Her hair was loose and flowed a little past her shoulders with her curl sticking out and a dark red headband fitted on her head. Her only make up was minimal blush, mascara, and lip gloss.

Feli and Lovi were very different from each other. Lovina was a tomboy, like me, and hated wearing dresses. She preferred wearing boys' tunics and would only wear dresses when necessary such as balls, like this, or political meetings with the other countries. She often had us sneak out so I could teach her how to use a sword or ride on a horse. It was really fun to act like a boy again. It was even more fun with Lovi.

Felinciana was calmer than her sister but more energetic. She was more of a girl and enjoyed wearing skirts and dresses. Whenever I went shopping in town she always comes along with me to shop at the stalls. Being with Feli brought out that little girl in me. During those times, I talk with her about clothes, shopping, and other girly stuff. I love hanging out with both of them. Sometimes, they felt like my sisters.

I hugged Lovi. "You look gorgeous Lovi." Feli came up behind us and we group hugged much to Lovi's dismay. "Like, here. Try this on. I'm sure you'll look fab in it!" We broke up and I saw Feliks holding out a light green dress. I stood up, up got it from him, and walked back to the bathroom to change.

When I got there I looked at the dress and gasped. It was beautiful. The dress was a shimmering, light green, strapless dress. It glowed softly and had a, not-too-low, v-neck. When I put it on it ended around my ankles and it seemed to hug me a bit. I walked back to the room and was instantly met with 'oohs' and 'ahhs' from the girls and Feliks. Feli and Lovi ran up to me but Feliks held them back. "I'm not, like, done yet."

They sat back down and he went around the room, looking at stuff or either throwing them into a pile. When he was done he put a translucent, light green shawl over my shoulders, a pink flower in my hair, quickly sewed a gold trimming to the ends of the dress and on the straps and v-neck, and had me wear light green high-heeled shoes with ribbons lacing up my ankles. When he was done he stepped back to look at me. While Feliks circled around me, Feli and Lovi looked very excited, like they wanted to hug me.

"Ok! I knew you would look fab, Liza. Have a good time at the ball!" He started cleaning up and the girls took that as a sign to try and squeeze the life out of me. "I can't go to the ball if I can't breath, can I?" We laughed and they let go of me. Feli started jumping up and down. "Now let's do some make up!" Lovi left to read a book. She was never good with make up. Feli only put some mascara and blush on me. "Liza's pretty with and without make up." She once told me.

"Now that you're ready, LET'S GO TO THE BALL!" Feli grabbed mine and Lovi's hands and started running toward the ballroom. I saw a clock as we ran (were dragged) through the hallway. It was already 6:30! "Feli! We're already 30 minutes late!" She continued to run. "Ve~ It's alright. We'll just be fashionably late!" I sighed.

We arrived at the ballroom a minute later, panting and out of breath. Well, Lovi and were. Feli didn't break a sweat and continued to smile. Both kings were already at the indoor balcony, King Remutas was pacing back and forth, mumbling to himself. When he saw us he ran up and gave Feli and Lovi a hug. "Thank god you're both here. Let's go, everyone's waiting." He led Feli out to be introduced as Lovi and I tried to catch our breath. When we did, we went down to the foyer. "I'll go keep and eye on Feli. Go enjoy yourself. Ok, Liza?" Lovi told me as were walking. I nodded. "Thanks, Lovi. You enjoy yourself, too. Alright?" She rolled her eyes and walked off.

I walked around the room looking at the decorations. It was beautiful with the banners of the family crest displayed proudly and a golden chandelier hanging from the ceiling that illuminated the room. After walking around the room once I was going to go watch the princesses. It was my job after all.

I found Feli and started walking towards her when i saw him. Platinum blonde hair and red eyes as vivid as they were 10 years ago. It felt hard for me to breath but I got over it moments later. He left them and started walking in the opposite direction of me. I went up to Feli and whispered into her ear "I'm going to go to my room for a bit, Do you think you'll be alright?" She nodded and I curtsied before walking away. I hope he didn't see me.

When I got to my room I closed it shut and locked the door and closed the curtains. I couldn't risk anyone seeing me. I went to my dresser and opened the middle drawer. I moved all my knick-knacks and lifted the fake bottom. There it was. I picked up the picture. He might not remember but when we met we had someone take a picture of us. 'You can keep it. The awesome me will still remember you without the picture.' I can still remember his arrogant smirk as he handed me the photo. I looked at it a little longer and sighed. After placing everything exactly as it was before, I smoothed out the dress. I looked at the clock and saw that it was 7:20. About another 3 hours left of this ball. I hope nothing too dramatic happens.

A/N: I'M FINALLY DONE! Well, yeah, here you go. I hope you guys like it. I should really stop procrastinating with everything. -_-"
