"Henry has a what?" Emma stared at her father
"He's got a crush on the Mad Hatter's daughter." James said again Emma tried to process this
"A crush?" she couldn't believe it
"Yeah Emma he's ten not four" James said
"I know it's just… he's pointed this girl out to me before she went to school with him but he never said anything about a crush" James rolled his eyes
"He's a ten year old boy Emma he's not going to share everything with you."
"Well there's only one thing to do." Emma said
"Way ahead of you" James said
Grace stared at her letter she read it again:
You, Grace daughter of the Jefferson are invited to join the court of Prince James and Snow White to be a lady in waiting to Princess Emma.
A lady in waiting to the princess? Grace's heart skipped a beat although she'd miss her father terribly her thoughts were of Prince Henry she'd had a crush on him for sometime now, maybe this was meant to be.
"Papa!" She cried running outside to were her father was chopping wood
"Yes Grace?" her father said wiping his brow with the back of his hand
"I've been asked to join the court as Princess Emma's lady in waiting!" Grace cried happily
"A lady in waiting?"
"Yes! Oh Papa isn't it wonderful?" Her father nodded
"When do you leave?" He asked her
"I don't know right away I should think" her father nodded
"You should start packing then" Grace smiled and hugged her father
"I love you Papa!"
"I love you too" and with that Grace ran to go pack.
A few days later Emma sat in her room trying to do something with her hair. There was going to be a ball and as much as she didn't want to she had to go.
"Princess Emma?" She turned and saw her new lady in waiting standing in the doorway in a simple yellow dress.
"Come in Grace you can help me" Emma smiled the girl was only ten but still she was a good friend. Grace braided Emma's hair into one long braid before twisting it into a bun at the nape of her neck Emma smiled to wisps of the curly blonde hair framed her face Grace then brushed her cheeks with red blush complimenting Emma's red dress.
"Thank you Grace" Emma smiled
"Your welcome your highness"
"Please call me Emma," she said
"Now, lets find you something to wear to the ball" Grace gasped
"Me go to the ball?"
"Why not?" Emma said rummaging through her closet before finding the empress waist dark blue gown she had maid for Grace
"Here put this on" she said Grace gawked for a moment before taking it timidly
"Well go on" Emma smiled before Grace went to go change.
