"May, I am so sorry," Dawn said with sympathy as May was in her room, brushing her hair. May was wearing a dark maid dress with a black bow on the back and white apron. She had on her black socks and black shoes. Her hair was up in a ponytail.
May looks down and sigh. "I wish things are not like this," she whispers with sad eyes. Her sparkles have died.
"I know! We should plan for your escape! I will plan it all out for you! You just have to do what you want to do! Then, you can be with your prince charming!" Dawn exclaimed with her eyes sparkling.
"What about you, Dawn? If I was gone, then you have to marry Brendan! I don't want you to leave your knight!" May exclaimed.
"Don't worry, things will work out perfect. Paul will understands. Or maybe when you become the Queen you can help me!" Dawn replied.
"Oh thank you, Dawn!" May said as she give Dawn a big hug.
"Now, let's help you survive today and get into planning," Dawn said as she help May with with her hair.
In the castle, Prince Drew is still walking, or more like pacing around the room. His servants all stare at him and watch him walk around with Ash and Misty sitting on the chair, sharing a bag of popcorn and watch Drew like they are watching a movie.
"How dares that Birch gets into my own business. Oh and now he is acting like he is the boss just because he is going to get married to a maid!" Drew exclaimed.
"The maid is from the Maples family. Her name is May. I think that it is quite similar to your Maybelle since if you delete the Belle, it will be May," Gary said as he looking back into the invitation Drew gets that morning for Brendan's wedding next month.
"Oh really," Drew exclaimed. He have notice that way before and is wondering if the May Brandon is engaged to is the same person he had met that night at the ball.
"I can ask Dawn, if you want, Your Highness. This May is from her family after all," Paul said.
"I don't know. I really don't know anymore. This is all mix up. I think I am going to explode," Drew said.
"Well, you do have her bracelet, right?" Ash asked.
"Yea! I mean, if I would go around everywhere and asking for the owner of it then all the girls will claim that it is theirs!" Drew said.
"But it is quite small for a teenager. This girl you have fallen for sure have the smallest pair of hands. Even I can't put it on," Leaf commented as she tries to put on the bracelet but it gets stuck in the middle. Everyone look at her. Leaf is right, she have the smallest pair of hands anyone have ever known in the kingdom and she can't fit in.
"Maybe we should have another ball? I mean, she did come to that ball before but never the earlier balls. Maybe she is a servant, not a noble, that is why she goes to the nobles and servants ball not the nobles only ball. Base from what you told me, this girl had good manners, so she must be a top maid for a family. So why don't we make our last ball the same thing and hopes that she come. If you see her, you can make sure by the bracelet. She has to know what is hers, right?" Gary suggested.
"That is a good idea! Why haven't think of it before!" Drew exclaimed as he stops pacing around.
"But the last dance of the season is in two months, after Brendan's wedding. If the girl Brendan is marrying to is your girl, then you are a bit late," Paul pointed out.
"Yea right. Than what should I do?" Drew exclaimed. Misty walk over and hit him on the head with her mallet.
"Prince Drew. You are the prince and you need clear mind. Calm down! I am telling you, let's ask Dawn to see if she can delay the wedding until after the last ball of the season," Misty said with her arms folded and looking at Drew.
"I know, but it is very dangerous. Dawn may get hurt. After all, she is Paul's" Drew cried.
"We will see," Gary said.
In the family, May was in Dawn's room, getting ready for the afternoon. Her meeting with Brandon was the usual. She was still shocked that Brendan agreed to marry to her and even paid for it. She is helping Dawn to do her hair for her secret meeting with Paul.
"May, I have a perfect plan! We are going to escape. You and I! I don't want to leave Paul and I want to help you too. I have planned that we will leave at night. Tomorrow night. We are going to get out of here and change our identities. All we need is outfits. I can get them ready. All you need to do is to at normal. I will meet you tomorrow night at midnight in your room," Dawn explained.
"Dawn! You don't have too! You are leaving your perfect life!" May exclaimed.
"Don't worry, I will be fine. I don't like someone watching over me anyways and to hide my relationship with Paul. You know how many times I have close calls with Mother? It is like every time! If she ever finds out, we are dead," Dawn explained as she touch the purple stone she wears around her neck all the time.
"Thank you, Dawn. I will listen to you," May said.
"Now that is my little sister! Now, help me pick out my outfit! I want to do some shopping with you today!" Dawn exclaimed as she has already forgotten the sadness.
"Of course, my Princess," May giggles as she helps Dawn pick out a dress and go to the market to shop, with Lady Trancy and Brianna.
