Chapter 4: Welcome to Sweden
A/N: Thanks for the reviews guys I really appreciate it. Here's the next chapter and I hope everyone enjoys this one.
CeCe P.O.V.
Dear Diary, Hey it me again and I'm back with another dairy report. I hope you're ready for this one because it's big? I recently found out I was the crown princess of Sweden. Isn't that fantastic? Because I feel like I became the luckiest girl in the world. My father invited me to stay at the palace for the summer. He even booked me a private jet plane just to arrive into Sweden safely and now I'm on the plane on my way to Stockholm, Sweden. Yes of course I'm a little nervous, but that's not going to stop me from seeing my father and exploring the life I once was supposed to live. My best friends Rocky and Ty are coming with me to Sweden because I ask them to accompany me on this trip for the summer. I told my mom where I was going and she was completely shock at first, but then again she didn't try to stop me and that's what scared me. Reason why, because my mother would normally put her foot down, especially if I'm going to another country to see my father. As for the twins Gunther and Tinka, they've been teaching me everything I need to know about being a lady and a princess, well mostly Tinka for the most part. Gunther on the other hand, has been giving me the cold shoulder lately and he hasn't said much unless someone is speaking directly to him. I don't know what his problem is but he needs to seriously get a handle on his life. So you see diary, my life is a total bombshell and I'm love it. Into next time, from yours truly CeCe.
The Announcement, "Attention ladies and gentlemen, this plane will land at Stockholm, Sweden least then 10 minute. Please take your seat and wait patiently into the plane has landed. Thanks for riding and have a wonderful day."
"Oh god it's about time!" Rocky sigh. "It felt like we've been on this plane forever." She said.
"Rocky it's only been 9 hours and the plane ride wasn't even that long." I explained putting my diary away.
"I'm surprise your even up CeCe. You're usually the main one that would still be sleep by now." She explained.
"Thank god she not, CeCe sound like a monster truck when sleeps." Ty said in relief.
"For your information Ty, CeCe Jonasson does not snore." I argued.
"Yes you do!" Everyone shouted on the plane, including Gunther.
"Hey!" I yelled looking around at everyone.
"Aw…CeCe." Rocky sigh, putting her hand on my shoulder. "Don't be like that, the truth had to come out sooner or later." She grinned.
"Can it Rocky!" I shouted getting up. "I'm going to the bathroom." I tell her. I started to walk to the back of the plane, when the plane started to shake. I fell backwards into Gunther lap while he was sitting down in his seat. He held me tightly and stared at me in surprise. I stared into those beautiful eyes of his and to be honest, I never realize how blue his eyes were before into now.
Gunther clears his throat, "You do realize that you're not supposed to be out of your seat when the plane is landing right?" he asked corking his eyebrow at me.
I blink a couple of times before I answer, "Yeah, duh! I totally forgot." I replied getting up. "Any way's…I'm just going to go back to my seat now." I said pointing to the front.
Gunther nodded with a smirk, "You do that Cecelia." He said. I turn around and walk back over to my seat again.
"You know what, that was the quickies I ever seen you go to the bathroom CeCe. Any other day, you would say in the bathroom forever." Ty said.
"Yeah that was…too quick. Did you even go to the bathroom CeCe?" Rocky asked looking over at me.
"I sigh, "No I didn't, I'll just wait to we get to the palace."
"Did something happen between you and Gunther back there?" Rocky whispered.
"When the plane started to shake I fell back into Gunther and we kind of shared a moment or that's at least what I thought it was." I admitted.
Rocky squeals, "Are you serious?"
"Rocky keep it down and yes." I replied.
"So get to know him a little better, I mean he is the only prince of Sweden." Rocky said with a small smile.
"Oh no, differently not! Gunther and I will never workout, I can't even have a normal conversation without him getting an attitude or giving me the silent treatment. So the answer is no, I want nothing more to do with Gunther then he wants to do with me." I explained.
Rocky narrowed her eyes at me, "How do you know if he likes you or not?"
I glared at her, "Excuse me, what did you say?"
"You heard me CeCe, how do you know if he likes you or not, especially if you didn't even try?" She asked.
"I'm not having this conversation with you Rocky, the answer is still no and Gunther can kiss my kishka for all I care." I replied.
"Guys where here, we should probably get going." Ty explained getting up.
(Stockholm's Palace)
"Welcome to Sweden your highness and friends. My name is Aina and I will be your adviser for the rest of your stay. If you need anything at all, don't be afraid to give me a buzz." She explained.
"Thank you Aina, this place is very beautiful by the way." I said with a smile.
"Well of course it is your highness and it's also your home too." Aina explained. "Now if you excuse, David will now show you all to your room and Cecelia I will come get you to meet your father for lunch in a hour." She said.
I nodded, "Okay, I'll be waiting."
She nodded with a smile and walks away.
"So are you excited about finally meeting your father?" Rocky asked holding my arm.
I took a deep breath, "Yes I am, very excited and a little nervous."
"Guy's, this is my room." Ty said getting our attention. "I'm going to get unpack and I'll see you girls in a few alright."
"Alright Ty, see you in a few." Rocky replied weaving to him. He walks into his guest bedroom and we continued to follow David down the hall.
"Princess Cecelia, your room awaits." David said opening the doors for me. My room had to be one of the biggest rooms in the palace. I mean whoa, can you say fit for a princess because this is differently more than what I could wish for.
"Wow CeCe! Your room is amazing." Rocky said looking around with her mouth open.
"Yeah, tell me about it." I replied looking around.
"Madam, please let me take you to your room next." David tells Rocky.
"Oh you can call me Rocky." she said. The butler David just stared at her. "Or Miss Blue would be better." she blushed.
"Well Miss Blue, please let me escort you to your room." David said showing her the door.
"I guess I'll see you in a little while CeCe." Rocky explained leaving the room.
"Later Rocky!" I shouted to her.
I look around one more time before falling back into the bed feeling the fabric of my nice fluffy pillows. God only know how happy I am to be here right now. It's like a dream come true for every girl that ever wish to become a princess.
"Hello CeCe." Tinka said coming into my room.
I sit up on my bed looking over at her. "Oh hey Tinka." I replied.
"How are you adjusting to your new bedroom?" she asked with a smile.
"It's wonderful Tinka, god I love this place already." I said walking over to my closet and opening it. "Whoa!" I shouted. I glance over at Tinka in shock, "Dude, have you seen my closet?" I asked her.
"Of course I did, I'm the one that pick out your clothes. You see CeCe, designing is what I do for a living besides work at the castle. I even have my own clothing store in Stockholm." She explained with a smile.
"That's incredible Tinka." I tell her.
"Why thanks you." She said flipping her hair with a grin on her face.
"This closet is bigger than me and my mom room put together." I explained.
""That's because it's also your changing room and the place where we keep all your crowns and jewelry." Tinka said.
My eyes widen, "I –I own my very own crowns and Jewelry?"
"Yes you do, follow me." She said walking though the closet. She pulls out a remote and points it at a wall. The wall opens up and diamonds appears in front of my eyes. There had to be about 50 or more pieces of Jewelry there. I also saw the diamond crowns Tinka was talking about.
"Oh my god! I died and gone to heaven." I said in shock.
"I'm glad you like them CeCe." She said.
"I really do Tinka, thanks you." I said giving her a hug.
"What are you guys doing in here?" Gunther asked walking inside.
"Excuse me." I said getting Gunther attention. "Did I say you can just walk into my closet?" I asked.
Gunther bites his tongue, "No you didn't my apologies." He replied walking out of the closet.
"You know Gunther doesn't mean any harm right?" Tinka asked me.
"Please Tinka; Gunther has been nothing but a royal pain in the butt lately." I tell her.
Tinka was taking back by this, "Like you are right now?"
"I am not a pain in the butt." I argued.
Tinka rolls her eyes, "You could've fooled me because you and Gunther are exactly alike."
"Gunther and I have nothing in common!" I shouted. "Hold on, my phone is ringing Tinka." I said picking it up. "Hey Deuce!" I answered.
"Hey CeCe, where are you guys?" Deuce asked.
"Didn't Ty or Rocky tell you?" I asked.
"Tell me what?" he asked confused.
"Where in Sweden for the rest of the summer Deuce." I replied sadly.
"But –but I thought it was just you going there for the summer?" he asked stuttering.
"No…I asked Ty and Rocky to come with me and the only reason I didn't ask you is because you have to work." I explained.
"Oh okay, that makes since." He replied sadly.
"Are you okay Deuce?" I asked.
"Yeah I'm fine, I hope you guys enjoy your trip and tell Rocky I said hi." He explained.
"I will Deuce, just make sure you call me sometimes okay." I said.
"I will, anyways my uncle is making me run the business today so I'll talk to you soon." Deuce said.
"Okay then, bye." I said.
"Bye!" he said dryly hanging up the phone.
"Was that Rocky ex-boyfriend?" Tinka asked.
"Yea it was…wait how do you know about Deuce?" I asked narrowing my eyes at her.
"Well Rocky told me all about her break up with Deuce and I couldn't resist myself by helping her find someone new." She admitted.
I look at her sideway, "Are you hooking Rocky up with Gunther?"
"Yes! I mean no, that's not what I meant!" she shouted putting her hands out in defends.
I put on a fake smile, "Will you excuse me." I said walking out of my closet.
Tinka eyes lit up, "Oh goodness, what have I done. CeCe wait come back!" she yelled chasing after me.
I walk out of my room and see Gunther stand at the end of the hall talking to David the butler. So I marched over to him in my new Burberry designer heels. I can't believe Rocky is the reason why Gunther has been giving me the cold shoulder. Well you know what? I'm going to give Mr. So call popularity a piece of my mind. Obviously I got their attention with my ability to walk extremely fast in heels, because Gunther eyes widen in surprise and he looked at me with so much confusion.
"May I help you your highness?" David asked me.
"No thank you David." I replied smiling at him. I glared at Gunther and got in his face. "Gunther Hessenheffer, you are the most, sleaziest, manipulative, conceited, self-center guy I've ever met in my entire life and guess what?" I asked him.
He stared at me in anger, "What's that?" he replied gritting through his teeth.
"I loathed you Gunther Hessenheffer!" I shouted slapping him hard across the face. "Now good day!" I nodded then marched away. Gunther held his cheek in shock not understanding what he did wrong.
"Oh dear, your highness please wait!" David shouted after me.
Gunther P.O.V
I was looking at my red cheek in the mirror, not understanding what I did so wrong for CeCe to slap me like that. Yeah, I could be a pain in the butt sometime, but what gives her the right to put her hands on me. Does this have something to do with what I said to her on the plane? I was only trying to help her and tell her about the rules.
"Where did CeCe go?" Tinka asked out of breath.
"I turned around and glared at my sister, "What did you tell her Tinka?!" I yelled.
"I am so sorry Gunther; I made a mistake by telling her I was getting you together with her best friend Rocky, when I was really trying to say our cousin Bobchka." She explained.
I punch my fist against the wall, "You imbecile!"
"What! How dare you call me a retard Gunther? I am your sister twin and I am not an imbecile, so you will treat me with respect!" she shouted.
"Then why in holy goats would you tell her that rubbish?" I asked.
"She got me confused Gunther, she asked me who I was hooking Rocky up with and your name came out of her mouth. I said yes quickly without thinking and when I tried to change it up she already left." She explained.
"Oh, so she jealous?" I asked with a grin creeping up on my face.
"I guess so, if that's what you want to call it then yes." Tinka said. Her eyes lit up, "Wait just a second, CeCe is jealous and this is good news for the both of us."
"To right you are sister twin." I replied.
"You know what else Gunther, we should continue to make CeCe jealous and have her think you can have any girl you want." She said.
"But what about to lunch with king Jonasson in a half-hour, isn't he going to tell CeCe all about the engagement and becoming queen of our country?" I asked.
"Gunther dear brother of mine, don't worry your little head about that. We did what king Jonasson asked us to do and now things need to be handled in our own way. We might even need Ty and Rocky help on this." She replied.
"Rocky already knows the plan." I tell her.
"But Ty doesn't and he does know CeCe very well." She said.
"Oh yes, how could've I forgotten. They used to suck each other faces off." I said shaking my head.
"CeCe said they're nothing merely more than two friends who think of themselves as brother and sister just like us." She said.
I snorted, "Please, save it Tinka. I'm not in for CeCe and her lies."
Tinka crosses her arms and smirks at me. "Is this the reason why you've been giving CeCe the silent treatment?"
"No!" I lied. "Why would you ever think that? It's just most of the time CeCe could be slightly annoying." I explained.
"That's rubbish and you know it Gunther." She taunted.
I looked at my watch, "Well…look at the time, lunch start in 6 minute, we should get going chop-chop." I said walking out of my room.
(Brunch outside in Stockholm Garden)
"Hello Gunther." King Jonasson said shaking my hand.
"Good afternoon, your majesty." I said shaking his hand in return.
"Where is my lovely daughter Cecelia?" he asked.
"She should be on her now your majesty." Tinka replied.
"The good news and I'm honored that you two even got her to come up here." King Jonasson explained.
Tinka giggled, "Don't be silly J.J. you don't have to thank us."
I snorted, "Your majesty you don't even know the half of it."
"King Johnse." Aina said getting everyone attention. "I present to you, your highness Cecelia Alexandra Jonasson."
CeCe appears in front of us and her father gets up anxiously to see his daughter for the first time in 17 years. "My dearest beautiful Cecelia, my I have you grown." He said giving his daughter a hug.
"Hello father." CeCe said with a smile.
"Cecelia did you dye your hair? I could've sworn you were blond the last time I saw you yes." He said.
"Yeah, I dye it when I was 13, I hope that's not going to be a problem for you." she explained.
"Of course not darling, you look beautiful and you look like your mother." He said.
CeCe blushed.
"Come and take a seat." He said pulling out a chair next to me.
"Thank you your majesty." CeCe said glaring at me.
"Please darling, call me papa okay?" the king smiled.
CeCe nodded, "Okay."
"Cecelia I don't know if you know this, but do you know why you are here today?" the king asked.
"Well to meet you of course, at least that's what I thought." She replied.
"True, but there is more to that then what meets the eyes." He said.
"What do you mean father?" she asked.
"Cecelia, your papa is sick." He replied.
"How sick? You mean sick as in you got the flu sick or sick as in you'll be dead soon sick." CeCe asked.
"The second half of it." He replied sadly.
"I don't get it, why are you telling me this now?" she asked with tears in her eyes.
"Because I need you to take over as queen of Sweden before I die. I was always going to tell you, but during the course of years I got diagnose with kidney cancer and that's why I'm telling you now." He explained.
"I can't breathe, I can't believe you are doing this to me and most of all I can't believe you're dying and I just met you." She complained sobbing.
"I know sweetheart, this is hard on me too. I made a promise to myself and that see my daughter again before I die." He said. "And now you're here standing right in front of me. All I have of you is the pictures your mother sent to me over the years in memory of you. She stopped sending my pictures when you became a teenager and that broke my heart Cecelia."
CeCe glared at Tinka and I, "You guys new about this and didn't bother to tell me?"
"CeCe, it wasn't our place to tell you." Tinka replied.
"Tinka right, I asked them not to say anything because it was only right for me to tell you the truth." The king said.
"So you want me to run a country all by myself?" CeCe asked crossing her arms.
"No, I want you to run the country with someone that was born and raised here. Someone from the royal family and knows Sweden's history. Cecelia, ever since you were a baby, the king before me declared an arranged marriage between you and his grandson."
"And who is this grandson may I ask?" CeCe asked.
"You're sitting right next to him. Gunther Hessenheffer is your future husband and king of Sweden" He replied.
She glanced over at me in horror, "You two lied to me? You both had me believe that I could marry anyone I wanted, but it was just a big price piece for you guys."
"CeCe, if you're going to be mad at someone then blame me. Gunther didn't have anything to do with it. It was me that set you up to believe you can marry whoever you want." Tinka explained.
"Save it blonde!" she tells Tinka. "And you!" she yelled glaring at me again. "I will never marry you, so you can just go to hell!" she runs off.
"Cecelia wait!" I shouted chasing after her.
Tinka was about to get up and follow suit but the king stops her in track.
"Tinka, please let them work things out on their own, you did enough." The king explained.
Tinka nodded and takes her seat again.
"Cecelia will you please just slow down!" I shouted catching up to her.
"I can't believe you, the only reason you made me come out here was for your own purposes. You want to become king and rule the country and that's the only reason why you agreed to this." She said.
"Cecelia all I ever known my whole life was that I was supposed to be marrying this princess and that's you. As I got older I just when with the flow and continuing to fulfill my duties as future king." I explained.
"Well fulfill your duties somewhere else because you're not getting my crown." She said trying to walk away.
"What do you mean, we don't have a choice CeCe? I don't know about you but I'm willing to try this out for our country." I tell her.
"Gunther I don't know about you, but I think it would never work between you and I. All we ever did so far was argue, and for the past couple of days you've been giving me the cold shoulder. Now you want to go through with this arrangement? I think not." I taunted.
"Don't you mean a royal engagement?" I asked.
"Please Gunther." She snorted." I bet you don't even have a ring picked out."
At that moment I get down on one knee and take a small box out of my pocket. "Cecelia Alexandra Jonasson, I know we don't know each other well but I'm welcome to try it out. Will you do me the honors of becoming my queen?" I asked pulling out a 3 carat diamond engagement ring.
"No I can't, because I don't marry people who I don't love. You have a good day Gunther." She said walking away.
I stood there and watched her walk away from me down the corridor. This is going to be harder than I thought, CeCe is not an easy cookie to crack and I will get her to marry one way or another. She will become my queen.
A/N: That's it for now, sorry it took me so long, but I was really busy and over tired. I will be back soon with the next chapter. Let me know what you guys think, peace!
