:sob: You love me, you REALLY love me. Wow, I didn't know I could get so many reviewers in one chapter. Thank you so much for all of your kindness and support. But I come bearing news. My school's exams are right around the corner, and I have been promised a trip to Cedar Point if I do well on all of them. So, in the next couple of weeks, updates may be a little slow. Please forgive me, I don't mean to make you wait. Send me emails if you get bored of waiting. I check my email all the time, at least once every day. But that's if I'm not super, super busy, which doesn't happen often. Also, I would like to forewarn you that I may be turning the sap factor up a little over the course of the next few chapters. Mia is putting phase two of "Get Molly and Rick together"; though Mia MIGHT have her hands full with a certain inventor. Heh…:cough:
Oh, and before I answer reviews, I must say something.
A lot of you have been asking if Mia and Thomas get married. I would like to point out that I did write that it was a rumor, and anyway, I can't tell you if they do get married or not. It would spoil the fic! So, here are the reviewer answers;
To LaughingRanna: Yay, another new reviewer! Welcome to my humble fic :bows: As to your question, like it said, it's only a rumor…
To Juzblue: Hmmmmmmm, I wonder too…
To Wingedrider: Don't worry, he is. I unfortunately, cannot control Mia's actions. I am a puppet in her big schemes, merely the hands that type her words. You see, Mia is real. She lives in the right hand corner of the right side of my brain. She tells me all the mysteries of the universe and- :guys in white coats appear: HEY I already told you, the jackets are too tight, I won't wear one, and white is so last century:growls:
To Bambolieblue: Another new reviewer. Cool! Two in one chapter! I also welcome you to my humble fic. I hope the accommodations are to your liking. Strange how fate can bring young lovers together isn't it? But I must again mention that it is only a rumor…
To TheRhythmOfLife: Yeah you were. Even the authoress didn't notice! I am shocked at her! But you saved the day and for that, I am eternally grateful.
Okie tan, so I was anxious to write chapter eleven and couldn't wait for 80 reviews. But this time, I promise. 80 reviews, and then you get chapter 12. No sooner, no later. Sorry guys, I know I sound mean, but I really want some constructive criticism for my writing. I plan to be a professional author some day, so I need to know if my writing is any good. Thanks for your patience, and tell your friends! Here's chapter 11;
Thomas paced the floor outside of Princess Amelia's room. He was muttering to himself
"Hello, Princess Amelia, I just wanted to thank you for saving my inventing career. The way you rode my most recent invention was amazing! Tell me, how did you do it? NO, that's not right…"
He stopped pacing and listened at the door again. Prince Rick had walked inside a few moments before. However, Thomas had been unable to work up the courage to walk up to him and ask him to ask Princess Amelia if he could speak with her. As he pressed his ear closer, he heard the quiet murmur of voices from behind the door. He sighed and thought back to the day's events. When Amelia had come out of the crowd and defended him like that, he had been utterly shocked that a high class person would even bother to look his way. He was even more shocked as he watched her ride his invention three times around the castle grounds.
Thomas smiled at this memory. The way Amelia had shamelessly insulted the head council member was a sight he dearly wished he could have put on paper. But he had been more worried about his invention at the moment to write it down. So he would have to be glad with the memory, which he was sure that he would look back on fondly.
Thomas sighed and leaned against the door. He wondered why Princess Amelia had been so willing to defend him. He had heard rumors that she and her two companions had great powers, that their Gifts were so powerful that there was a chance that they could possibly rival the greatest mage of the Age, Numair. He had heard that Rick was getting training from Numair, and that Amelia was getting training for Daine. He wondered what kinds of powers the three companions had.
Thomas suddenly felt the door underneath him begin to move. With speed he hadn't known that he possessed, he threw himself off the door, and to the other side of the hall. He turned to see Princess Molly staring at him. She smiled and turned inside her room and said
"Hey, Mia, that inventor is here."
"Umm, no it isn't necessary to disturb her-" Thomas began to say, but Amelia was already at the door.
She smiled brightly at him and said
"Did you want to see me?"
"Umm yes, yes I did, I uh, I uh wanted to, to thank you for um, saving my invention from ridicule, and um…yes." Thomas stuttered.
Mia smiled again and said
"You're very welcome, um I'm sorry, I never caught your name." She said with a frown.
"Thomas, your majesty."
"Ah, Thomas. Well, Thomas, you're very welcome. Is that all?"
"Yes, good day, your majesty." Thomas said and bowed. Then he turned and walked away down the corridor as fast as he could without actually running.
When he had turned the corner at the end of the hall, Thomas leaned against the wall and put his hands over his eyes.
"Smooth, Thom, very smooth." He muttered.
He got up and continued on to his rooms.
When Mia closed the door, she broke out into a big grin.
"Well, he was very nice, wasn't he?"
"He must have been so nervous, the poor thing." Molly agreed, a sympathetic expression crossing her face.
Rick smiled and muttered
"Wish I had half as much courage as he did when it came to talking to girls."
But only Mia heard him. She stared at him for a moment and then continued
"Well, what should we do with ourselves today? I need to go to classes, but that's a few hours from now."
"Hmmmm, shall we go practice some more?" Molly suggested
"I've always wanted to try jousting." Rick said perkily.
Mia smiled at her two friends, and then glanced at her watch. Her eyes widened in shock.
"Guys, Look at the time!" She said, and held out her watch for them to see.
It was a quarter past nine in the morning on Sunday. Mia said franticly
"We have to go home!"
Rick smiled and said
"I went home last night and told your parents that we were hanging at my house. My parents went away on a trip on Friday, so don't worry so much. Though I do agree, we should go home."
"Aww, do we have to?" Molly whined.
Mia grinned and rooted around her trunk for her tee shirt, sweatshirt, socks, and shoes. She piled them together on the bed. As she did this, she said
"Molls, you know I don't want to go home either; this world is much more fun than ours. But we have to pass our exams. I for one would like to go to college next year."
Mia finally found her other sock and sighed. Then she picked up the pile of clothes and went into her room. She said on an afterthought
"We really do have to go home. But should we leave a note for the king?"
Then she closed her door. Rick and Molly then proceeded to find their clothes and get dressed in their rooms. Mia came out first, and while she waited for the other two, she took out a quill, ink and parchment and wrote the following note to the king;
To the king Jonathan,
I regret to inform his majesty that Prince Rick, Princess Molly, and I have been briefly called to our world for urgent business. We will return in few days time. We will send word if we are delayed any longer than a week or so.
Yours,
Princess Mia
As Mia was blowing on the ink to make it dry faster, Molly came out of her room fully dressed, and then Rick came out a few minutes later. Mia called a servant to bring the note to Jon, and after
