Last time...

And, she just listened, nodding occasionally. It never felt so good to get it off my chest and at the end I was definitely ready to learn the princess stuff, maybe today wouldn't be as bad of a day as I thought it would be.

B POV.

I smiled as I walked down the stairs and followed Piper from the room. I smiled at her as we walked down the stairs. I brushed off a small piece of dust from my jeans and walked down the final stairs. Paige and Phoebe where sitting on one of the leather couches waiting for us, smiling slightly.

"Good morning." Paige said warmly.

"Hi." I said with a smile.

"How did you sleep?" Phoebe asked.

"Pretty good, although I'll never be okay with these times." I joked with a smile.

"Trust me, it will get easier." Paige said.

I smiled at her and sat down.

"Well dear, I suppose it's time to start your princess training. I'm guessing they don't teach you how to be a princess in school huh?" Piper said with a smile.

"Well unless I totally missed my Princess 101, I know nothing about being a princess." I said with a sigh.

"Don't worry dear, we didn't either." Paige said softly.

"Okay well first, let's work on the walk." Phoebe said.

I gulped and stared at her, she looked me over and walked over.

"Okay, so here is what you need to do. Princesses never slouch, so you need to push your shoulder's up and keep your head held high." Phoebe said, pushing my shoulder's back and moving my chin a little bit.

"Easier said than done." I mumbled.

"No Bella, you should not talk back. Sorry but it's not proper." Paige said warmly but forcefully.

I nodded and looked at Phoebe.

"Okay so know you've got the posture, but you need to walk. So right this way. Remember to give your feet a lot of room so you don't hit one and trip." Phoebe explained.

I looked at Paige before I started walking towards her. I gasped as I fell flat on my face.

"No no no, you can't have your feet miles away." Phoebe scolded, but helped me up from the floor.

"Okay try again dear." Piper added warmly.

I took a deep breath and placed my feet closer, but still farther away then normal.

"Good job Bella!" Phoebe said with a smile.

I smiled at her.

"Alright now we can work on your welcoming for guests. First if you are coming down the stairs, you will simply, yet very gracefully place your hand on the handrail and take the stairs slowly, that's if it's a ball or something, but if it is welcoming someone to the palace, you will walk, at a fast pace but not too fast." Piper said, walking down the stairs to prove her point.

I nodded and followed her movements.

"Good job dear. After you've made it to the bottom of the stairs, you of course take their hand..." She said taking Phoebe's softly.

I nodded and grabbed Paige's hand.

"No, gently." Piper explained.

I sighed and gently grabbed Paige's hand.

"And you thank them for being here." Piper said.

"Thanks for coming." I said.

"No dear, thank you for being here." Piper said.

I rolled my eyes.

"Thank you for being here today." I said.

Piper smiled at me.

"And there you go. That's how you welcome people to the palace. Now come on." Piper said as we walked back to the living room.

"Okay, next is of course the dancing. Especially with the Royal Ball coming up, that's when we are going to be announcing that you have come back. So Leo can you come here?!" Paige asked, standing up.

A middle aged man walked into the room smiling, he glanced at Piper with a smile and looked at Paige. He had on black dress pants and a white dress shirt complete with black dress shoes.

"A Royal Ball! Oh no! I can't dance! This is a bad idea! A very bad idea!" I gasped turning around.

"Bella, you're a princess, you can do anything." Piper promised.

"No! I can't! Not dancing! I could hurt someone!" I whispered.

"Bella, I want to give you something, something that has been passed down from generation to generation, Melinda Warren herself was the first to wear it." Paige said as she walked over to the coffee table and picked up a black box.

"Well anyway, it's yours now. Of course it's not you're only one, we'll give you you're real one at the Royal Ball, but still it always helped us with our nerves." Paige said as she gently opened the lid.

I gasped as I looked into it. A gorgeous tiara sat nestled into the dark blue velvet. It was pure silver with silver lily's that housed beautiful diamonds all around it. I placed my finger to the cold metal and looked at it in aw. I smiled and looked at Paige.

"It is your first tiara, it's beautiful isn't it?" Paige asked with a smile.

I nodded, speechless.

"Here let me put it on." Piper said with a smile.

I grinned as she picked it up, being careful with it. She moved a strand of my brown hair from my face and placed the tiara on my head. She grinned at me.

"You look beautiful." Phoebe said with a smile.

"Just remember Bella, you're a princess. You can do anything." Phoebe said.

"Now, shall we?" Leo asked holding his hand out.

"Now, a princess dances with grace and poise, with style and dignity. When you dance, your feet do all the work. Lucky for most of us, the guy almost always leads." Paige explained with a smile.

I grinned a little at her as Leo began to lead.

"Now when you spin, your hand needs to be out away from your body. Keep your finger's together though because this is not time for Jazz hands." Paige said with a smile.

I blushed and shut my fingers. It took me a while to realize I was actually dancing! I can't believe it! I grinned at Leo before I lost concentration and slammed into him on the spin. He groaned and bent over a bit.

"Oh I am so sorry!" I gasped.

He smiled a little and sat up more as Piper rushed to him.

"Paige I think she should have had jazz hands, there would have been less of a point." Leo complained.

"Oh be a man Leo." Phoebe teased.

He glared at her but stood up.

"You did good for your first time." Leo said with a smile.

"Are you insane?! I think I just caused you internal bleeding!" I yelled.

"That's it I'm never dancing again." I said, slumping to the couch.

"Dear, it really wasn't that bad." Paige said sliding next to me.

I sighed and slumped into the couch. I heard a giggled and turned as Myra and Jem ran into the room and launched themselves at Piper and Paige.

"Mr. Henry said that the guest would be arriving soon. He said to tell you to get dressed." Myra told Piper.

"Yep, he said that this is the time when Bella can prove her grace, at least with walking and welcoming." Jem said.

"Of course, Bella dear, there is a dress hanging in your room with matching shoes and accessories in your closet." Paige said with a smile.

I gulped, great this was just great. Now I was going to have to dress up and show someone my welcoming skills, amazing. Oh I have a bad feeling, this is not going to end well.
