Disclaimer: Like mentioned in the 1st chapter. Short! I think. It's pretty much dialogs in this chapter, but I promise next chapter is going to actually have actions happening.

Chapter 2

Ouch. That hurts. I wonder what happened. I miss the pretty room- no, must focus!

Ms. "Tina", may I have your attention please?

I snap my head back, nearly breaking my neck, so freaked out by some old dude….wait! That old dude! The one that I'm pretty sure hit me on my head.

"You tell me exactly what-"

Satisfied with my unfinished exclamation, he continued on, clearly amused.

"Well, it seems to me as if your head is still in working order, I shall continue on with our little chat. I am Merlin, the future protector of our great majesties, King Arthur, and Queen Guinevere. Unfortunately, for both you and me, the young Guinevere has decided to fall in love with some...stable lad. Therefore, you have been chosen to replace her. Two days ago, Guinevere was asked to leave this century with her lover of course, and go somewhere else, that somewhere else just so happens to be your hometown, San Jose, California. So of course, you now find yourself and her switched."

"BUT, HOW CAN YOU DO THIS TO ME?"

"It's not your choice, if you choose not to do this; your entire bloodline would not have been created."

"So, you're saying that if I don't switch places with the um….Guinevere, the entire United States wouldn't be formed?

"No, not the United States, but we'll discuss that some other time. First off, you need to get rid of those hand gestures! Hands off your waist, my dear. Oh come on, you don't have to give that look!"

As he begins walking towards me, my face drops, along with my hands. He smiles in achievement, while I sadly, frown.

"I don't get it! Why, out of a zillion girls to choose from, did you pick me? Me! Unless you haven't noticed, I sit alone at lunch, with absolutely no life, or beauty for that matter. I'm not even smart! You could have chosen some girl that would actually want to be a princess, or more specifically Kate, the slut that sits next to me in 6th period. Seriously, I'll even give you her number."

A sigh comes out of "Merlin".

"Christina, have some confidence in you! If you stand up straight, oh come on now! That's it, excellent. And brush your mane of a hair more often; you'll be a real beauty to the eye. Believe me when I say this, you look like an absolute copy of the princess. So trust yourself!"

"But-"A mist appears where Merlin just stood. In his place, a dark brownish bag appears, with it a note.

Christina,

You may not believe when, but it is true. You are truly beautiful, and all of England will love you. Believe in yourself. I will help you to the best of my abilities, but take note: all that happens are from you. You created the chance, so make the best of it! Inside the bag is a dress, something more to your taste. Enjoy, and remember: King Arthur!

Merlin.

After reading the note he left me, it comforted me, and I let out a little smile. Somehow, this doesn't all seem like a dream anymore. Perhaps, this might not be as bad as I thought. Holding the note in my hands, I tore open the bag. Inside was definitely my dream dress.

Next chapter is when we meet the royal knights and of course the king. Of course something big is going to happen. Quick note: Some things that are going to happen are not what really happened in history.

The dress is sort of pearly peachy color. Floor length, and layered. I based it on a gown I found on the Internet.
