Then we can chat in private haha :) Anyway I don't even know where this came from (the story, not the reply haha) but here it is, hope you enjoy it…
Kim
As I walked to my room I couldn't help but feel like something was about to happen. I don't know why but I could just feel it. I kept getting the feeling I was being watched. I decided it was probably nothing and tried to ignore the feeling but through out my makeup session it would not go away.
"Kimberly, are you ready for tonight? This is a big deal; you need to be on your best behaviour. " Mother said derailing my train of thought.
"Yes mother, I will be on my best behaviour but I don't get why this is so special…"
My mother looked outraged at my comment "Kimberly! You are not getting this! We are meeting with the leaders of the countries that are in the commonwealth! Which is a lot of the countries! You have to understand that you have a duty, I know you don't like this much and neither did I when I first married your father, I don't blame you because you have no privacy and there are these events much like this one that you have to attend, I but think of it as your duty to your country. Some day you're going to have to run this country, so think of this as practice. Okay?"
"Okay." I said.
I had never really thought of it that way. Now watching my mothers retreating form I finally get it. No one wants to do this, but someone has to. You may not have choice all the time so it feels like people are forcing you to do it. I don't think I'll ever like my job but I think I can learn to deal with it.
"Princess Kimberly, it's time to put your dress on, I'll leave you here to get dressed. Good luck at the supper tonight." My makeup artist, Kaylee said.
"Why would I need luck, I mean it's just a supper…"
"Well, some of the country leaders can be a bit difficult sometimes and not all of them get along, plus sometimes the President of the untied states and his associates likes to make surprise visits and that can get difficult sometimes because a) They aren't part of the commonwealth and b) not all of the countries can put up with them sometimes because not all country leaders can put up with them for this short amount of time because they can get quite hard to handle…" ((A/N) I'm sorry if that offended any of you… please note that I don't mean this literally and not all of you are like this, please don't be offended… It would make me sad that I have offended you…) Kaylee said.
"Thanks for the warning, I'll be sure to be careful." I said. Then she walked away.
I got up and walked into my closet. In the middle of the room stood a mannequin. On the mannequin was a black dress with lace arms, a red clutch, and black heels. There were also several pieces of gold jewellery. My first thought was wow. My second thought was (keeping in mind that this was after I saw the heels.) she expects me to wear these? But overall it was actually pretty decent. I don't think I would wear it anywhere but to somewhere formal but I actually think that my mother was warming up to my sense of style.
I got dressed and took one last look in the mirror. The Kim Crawford I once was would probably have screamed on sight and would have said "WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!" but now, maybe it isn't so bad. I've been through so much these past few days that I don't even think that girl is here anymore.
I stood there for a while and then I walked away. I pushed open the doors and walked in the direction of the dining hall. I could hear the faint sound of people talking. I heard the sound of footsteps in the left corridor. When I got to the place where they met I smiled.
"Hey." Jack said. "You look great."
"You don't look to bad yourself." I said.
"I try." He said.
I laughed and said, "Your such an idiot." and then I linked my arm into his.
We walked into the dining hall and I was blown away with how many people were there. I guess Claira may have downsized the amount of people that were coming when she told me that I had to go to this.
We walked in the direction of our seats. I could see my Mom and Dad at the head of the table beside my grandmother, a.k.a the Queen of England. I waved politely and we took our seats beside them. We waited for a good 5 minutes before my grandmother stood up and said "Good evening every. Thank you for coming. Dinner will be served in about 10 minutes so I hope you don't mind if we talk about a few things. As you all know, we have recently recovered our lost princess, Kimberly." She pointed in my direction. I wave politely. She continued, "I want to talk about when she will be taking the throne. I've talked it over with my grandson, and we have decided that I will resign in 8 months time. After that her she will be taking the throne and her coronation will be held in the spring, March to be exact. Invitations will be sent out 1 month prior to the event. I look forward to seeing you all there."
What. How can she expect me to be ready for that in 8 months? 8 MONTHS! I can't take on the throne! I haven't even graduated high school yet! I shot a look in my mother's direction that said 'How can you expect to take on the throne in 8 months!' she gave me one that said 'Don't look at me! I didn't even know about this!". I was going to have serious chat with my Dad after this.
(A/N) How was that? I spent a good hour on this so I hope you enjoyed it. I really like getting reviews so keep them coming! Plus, reviews make me write faster :)
