Chapter 1: Jobs, friends, and letter from home
It was a cold winter day in the town of Fuchsia. A nice little town know for it's colors of fuchsia, purple, violet, lavender, and all that. And in the heart of this very nice town, we would find a big restaurant. Inside the restaurant was a few people, eating and listening to music of the holiday of Wassailia (This universe version of Christmas).
One of the residents was impatiently waiting for his food... which was for ten minutes. And boy was he very hungry right now. After waiting another five minutes, he slammed his fist on the table, now really irritated. "Come on, what's taking so long?!"
As if on cue, a blonde waitress walked over to the table with a plate of burgers and fries as well as a glass full of tea. She set the food down on the customers table, as he glared at her. "It's about time." The waitress glared back. "Do you know how long it takes to fry these patties. I apologize for the wait, but still."
But however, the customer just turned away as he bit into his burger. The waitress huffed as she walked away. Now, you would think this was just a regular waitress... but she wasn't just a waitress... she was also a princess... And this princess, was amazingly... Princess Amber of Enchancia.
Just then, as she went back to the kitchen, she began to think about things... her life... her choices... her job. She would have never expected for a princess like herself to choice such a difficult job. Especially is her job was serving people instead of being served. That just shows how different it felt. And it didn't help the fact that she was not wearing her tiara when she worked, so nobody in this town knew she was a princess.
Amber looked at her next order, and started cooking away. Fifteen minutes later, she carried the rather elegant dish to the customer... and she suddenly froze when she saw the person... someone she knew.
Damn it! I was hoping nobody would find me.
That certain person... was a long time friend of hers... her best friend from Royal Prep school... Princess Hildegard.
Now what was she going to do, with Hildegard here, she was bound to be recognized. Gulping, Amber set the food down on the table for the Freezenburg princess. "Here you are enjoy!" She said quickly before turning away to leave... but before she could.
"Amber... is that you?" Hildegard stopped her. Amber froze in her tracks, and let out a gulp. Shit! She recognized me... Sweating slightly, she turned back towards her friend. "Um... I think you have me confused with someone else, your highness. I don't know this Amber..."
But alas, the Freezenburg princess wasn't so fooled.
"Oh come on Amber, I know it's you."
The blonde princess/waiter sighed. "Fine, Hildy. You caught me."
Hildegard giggled a little before saying, "You know, I still didn't think I would run into you. What are you doing here anyway?" What was Amber going to say? That she ran away after a fight with her father? Sighing, she began to explain. "I felt that... I needed to get away from Enchancia... to start fresh... to see new things... to try something new..."
"Oh I see.. I guess that explains why your working here as a waitress."
"Yes... I know it doesn't seem very princess like, but it's the best I could find..."
Amber looked down to see a ring on Hildegard's finger. Could it be? "Hildy... are you... engaged?" She asked.
Hildegard looked down at her ring and smiled as she replied. "Yep, I sure am."
The princess squealed in excitement as she hugged her friend. She was sure happy for her. "Oh! Congratulations! Who's the lucky guy?"
Hildegard blushed a little as she replied, "Prince Zandar. Your brothers little friend." Amber actually felt a bit happy for her, but upon the mentioning of the word brother, she sighed, as it suddenly brought back memories of her family... painful memories. But she tried to ignore them as she then asked Hildegard. "So, when is the wedding?"
"It's taking place in Enchancia two weeks from now."
Two weeks from now...
A part of Amber wanted to attend the wedding, but another part of her didn't want to step foot in Enchancia ever again. Hildegard noticed the worried expression on Amber's face. "Is something wrong Amber?" She asked. The blonde princess sighed once again. Goodness, I'm sighing a lot today. "Oh... it's just that... I haven't been in Enchancia for five almost six years... and I wonder how my family's doing."
At the mention of her family, Hildegard remembered that she had to tell Amber something. "Oh yeah, speaking of your family. That reminds me, I hear that's there's suppose to be a special ceremony taking place in honor of King Roland very soon."
King Roland...
Amber growled slightly when she heard her father's name, but thankfully, it went unnoticed. So instead she asked. "Oh really... what's the special occasion?"
That's when Hildegard frowned. That can't be good. "Well... how can I explain this to ya." That's when she whispered something in Amber's ear.
"What?!" Amber shrieked. "He... had a stroke?"
Hildegard could only nod.
Well now. The bastard had a stroke. Maybe that'll teach him how to kill my mother...
However, Amber decided to sound sad. "Oh. Poor Daddy. I hope he's alright."
"I hope so to..." Hildegard replied.
With that, Amber continued to work. And as soon as she shift was over, she was called into her bosses office, for he had a very strict talk for her. The princess walked into the office, where her boss, Mr. Biggley, was waiting. And he did NOT look happy. "Plant a seat Amber!"
The princess flinched a bit, but obeyed. "Yes, sir." She took a seat in the chair in front of his desk.
"I've had reports on your performance card, And I have to say I am extremely disappointed with your progress as of late."
Amber began to twirl a lock of her hair nervously. "W-W-What do you mean? What did I do wrong?"
"Have a look see, especially all the ones highlighted in red."
The princess looked at her progress report, and gasped upon seeing what was highlighted in red. What was highlighted was, lack of satisfied customer, overdose of over cooked food, and failure to properly reading orders correctly. "But... these are just minor things-" She started to say, but her boss interrupted her. "Minor, my ass! These are major crisis situations in my restaurant."
"But I can do better-"
"You said that before, but you haven't done squat!"
"Please, Mr. Biggley. This time I mean it-"
"I don't want to hear it, you have fouled up for the last time."
"But-"
"No shut up, take your belongings and get out. YOU'RE FIRED!"
Amber was at a lost for words. She... was getting fired. No... this can't happen! I need this job! I need the money! The princess stood up and glared at her former boss. "Do you even know who I am?" She asked him, revealing her signature tiara. But Mr. Biggley continued to glare at her.
"I don't give a damn if you're the princess of a King, you get your ass out of my business now!"
After glaring at him for a few moments, Amber said these words. "You're acting just like my father!" With that, she stormed out of his office.
Later on... at Amber's small cottage of a home. But right now was still very angry after what happened earlier. She couldn't believe she had gotten fired. She knew that she did slack off at times, being that she had only been working at the restaurant for four months, but still. This didn't make any sense whatsoever. "I can't believe some people... firing their employees for some stupid reasons..." She grumbling as she walked out of the house to check the mail in the mailbox.
That's when she found something inside the box, it was a letter addressed to Amber. As she was about to read it, she noticed the stamp on it... she recognized that stamp anywhere... it was the Enchancia crest. That means that this letter came all the way from Enchancia. Amber was so close to ripping the letter to shreds, if not for the one who wrote it was from her stepsister, Sofia. She read the words carefully...
Dear Amber,
It's been a long time since I've last heard from you, I hope everything's going okay wherever you may be at right now. But hopefully will get a chance to see you again at your friend's wedding ceremony in two weeks. Cause I know Hildegard mentioned how she would be so happy if you were there to attend the biggest moment of her life. But while you were away, our Dad got struck with a stroke. But hopefully he'll make it through this, promise me that you'll pray for him, cause I know I will. Well, hope I hear from you soon, I really miss you!
Sincerely,
Sofia.
How did she even find out where I am?
That was the only thing strange about all this.
Amber sighed as she folded the letter and placed it in her pocket. This suddenly brought back memories... bad memories. Back to when she was a child, shortly before she ran away from home.
Amber paced in her room, so angry with her father. Especially with that occurred between her and him. They just had a huge fight about the king cutting Amber off of the royal family heritage, meaning that she would no longer be next in line as queen. And that truly made her angry in the process because of it. This anger was also mixed with the anger of having lost her biological mother.
Her mothers death was long ago... when she and James were four, almost five.
"Amber... are you okay?" Sofia asked as she quietly walked into her sister's room.
Suddenly, the blonde princess pulled out a elegant looking suitcase as she started to carefully place her favorite gowns, shoes, and tiaras in it. "Amber what are you doing?"
"I'm leaving this place, Sofia." Was Amber's bitter response.
Sofia gasped. "Leaving? But where will you go?"
"I don't know. But anywhere is better than here. I wanna get as far away from Daddy as possible."
"Why do you wanna get away from Dad?"
"It's... complicated, Sofia. But I need your help. You're my sister, so get me to the nearest flying coach! NOW!"
Sofia was a bit stunned by her sister's sudden outburst. But nonetheless, she helped Amber get away. But she was very reluctant about this decision.
Amber growled under her breath as she walked back into the house and into her room. She started to pack some things. She figured that if she must, she'll go back to Enchancia... mostly for Hildegards wedding... but she wanted nothing of her father. She didn't want to see him at all. But of course, that would leave the rest of her family. Especially Sofia.
Her little stepsister was very worried about her, judging by the letter she sent.
Then there's James...
Although he can be a bit troublesome, sometimes, he was still her brother... her twin... and they stick together through thick and thin.
But then there's Miranda...
She may be a very sweet person, just like a mother would. However, in Amber's opinion, she was no replacement for her birth mother, and never will be. What angered her the most was that Roland seemed to show so much love for Miranda than he ever did with his first wife. And that made Amber really disgusted. He acts like Miranda is the only woman he ever loved. Well, suppose I could show him that my real mother is just as good as Miranda...
As Amber continued to pack, she heard someone knocking on a door harshly, and calling her name. She groaned when she recognized that voice anywhere... It was Prince Hugo, her boyfriend... or rather, ex boyfriend. When she fled Enchancia, she met up with Hugo and they began dating for a while, for she has had a crush on him for a long time. They resigned in Fuchsia, in the cottage.
But soon, Hugo became abusive, which led to Amber dumping him... and kicking him out. So for him to come at the time like this really bothered Amber quite a lot. She sighed as he called her name once again and continued banging on the door.
"What do you want, Hugo?" She called.
"I just want to talk to you, is that a big deal?"
Amber knew that he wanted more than to talk... she then began to throw her suitcase out a back window. "Well, would you give me a minute. I'm not dressed!"
But he continued to knock on the door, now getting irritated. "I don't have time to wait, we need to talk now!"
"Just hold on, Hugo!"
Amber then began to climb out of the window, just as Hugo was close to kicking the door down. "If you don't come out in five seconds, I'm coming in myself!"
But Amber ignored him and jumped out the window, grabbed her suitcase, and ran towards the waiting coach for her. Once she got in, the coach soon takes off. Just as Hugo looked out the window to see her. And boy did he look both disappointed and angry because of it.
As for Amber though...
She was on her way to Enchancia, but one major thought was on her mind.
I'm coming back for you Daddy...
Well, Amber had a job as a waitress, she met up with Princess Hildegard, gets fired from her job, learns that her father had a stroke, and escaped Hugo's wrath. nect chaoter we'll see Amber arriving to Enchancia to reunite with her family. But will it be a sweet reunion. You'll have to read and find out later. I'll see you guys later. And don't forget to review, please. Thank you.
