WARNING! THIS CHAPTER IS A FILL IN! IT WON'T BE VERY LONG!

We docked in Paris at around 10:00 that morning. Patricia, Mara, Amber, Piper, and I headed off the boat in the direction of the shops, ready for a much needed shopping spree.

"Oh mon dieu! C'est Amber Millington!" we heard Amber's name and our heads flipped to some red-headed girl dragging her friend over to us.

"J'aime vos robes! J'ai magasiné dans votre magasin quand j'ai visité Londres il ya quelques semaines! Vous êtes incroyable!" The girl looked like she was about to pee herself, but her friend quickly elaborated, muttering something to her friend.

"So-ry. She is just little excited." The friend said in a thick French accent, "She shop at your store in London. She love your dresses."

"Oh, merci!" Amber smiled, "This means a lot to me."

The girl's friend quickly translated and the girl smiled, "Merci! Au revoir!"

"That was strange…" I mutter as they walk away.

"I have a fan!" Amber smiles, "In France!"

"Yeah Amber!" Patricia chants.

Amber smiles happily and Patricia sends me a sly glance, "So, you seem to be warming up to Fabian."

"We're friends." I tell her, "And don't hit me with that soul mate crap again."

"Whatever!"

The shopping in Paris was fun, but getting back on the boat for dinner was nice too. Eddie made reservations at some fancy restaurant on the boat, so we had to get dressed up.

And as usual, Amber was prepared.

She tossed five dress cases on my bed, all with our names written on.

"You can thank me later," Amber said simply.

"Amber." Patricia said, holding her dress case but with kind of a scared expression on her face, "Please tell me they aren't as fancy as they were for the gala."

"Of course not, Patricia. They only thing worse than being underdressed, is being overdressed."

We rolled our eyes and unzipped the cases, revealing very nice dresses for the occasion.

Piper's was a dark red dress that was formfitting and fell to her knee. The halter top was decorated with sparkles, like the top of the dress which definitely made the dress stand out. Mara's dress was a bright yellow dress that had a bow on the side and flowed elegantly to a bit below her knees. It was covered with a floral tulle layer to give it a pattern. Patricia's dress was black and tight, with spaghetti straps and a long necklace with a silver rose pendant. Amber's was (for the very first time) bright pink. It had link-chains for straps and was tight until her waist, then elegantly flowed to her knees. Mine was purple and tight, with off the shoulder sleeves and reached above my knee. Piper, Mara, and Amber curled their hair while the rest of us straightened (mine was by force –Amber *cough cough*).

"Are we all ready?" Amber asked.

We nod and head out, but we reach the restaurant and they tell us that our reservation was for an hour later.

"That's Eddie for you." Patricia mutters.

"How about we just walk around for an hour until the reservation?" I offer, "I was gonna check out this book store so, I'll see you in an hour."

I was only half way to the book store when a girl stopped me.

"Excuse me." She says. I can tell by the smile on her face and the way she holds herself, that she was a good person. I'm a great judge of character.

"Yes?" I smile.

"I'm Joy Mercer. Can we talk?"

Told you it was short! And, because I want you to guess why Joy has shown up and is acting nice, you will not be getting a preview :( If I give you a preview this chap, it'll give too much away. So, here's a quiz instead.

Why do you think has shown up and seems to be a good person? What do you think her story is?

What will Nina's reaction be?

Which of the songs used for the chapter titles have you known so far? Which are your favorites?

So answer those, first person to do so is my next dedication!
