So this is the first chapter of the story, I hope you enjoy. Please review and give any scenarios that you might like to see happen.

Chapter 1

BANG! The door slammed as Matt stomped into my room with his blonde hair flopping. People have always said that he is an exact replica of my father. I am almost a replica of my mother, except the fact that my hair is strawberry-blonde instead of fiery red. He had just gotten back from a meeting with my parents and I'm assuming it did not go well.

'Matt what is it' I asked. I was actually worried, my brother did not anger easily.

'They want me to have a Selection' Matt huffed.

"This shouldn't be a surprise. Dad had one when he was 19, you are 21. You should have seen this coming' I replied calmly.

"I know, I know. Are you gonna help me out? I really gonna need my little sis. Charlie, I haven't even ever had a girlfriend before! I don't really talk to most of the princess when they come here or we go to their homes. If I do it is always light and/or political.'

'Of course I'm going to help you out. Hey! I'm gonna ask if Ty can come. He can help you out, and I haven't seen him in a year, I miss him. And he can help both of us with stress. Yours being picking a lifelong partner, and mine being teaching these girls.'

'Wait! You knew about this.'

'Well yeah, Mom and Dad had to ask me.'

'Why didn't you tell me?'

'Because they were going to tell you soon enough.'

'Ugh', Matt huffed. 'If Ty is available then he can come.'

I ran over to him and gave him a bear hug. I ran out the door and to my office to call Ty. Even though I wasn't a King, Queen or Crown Princess, I still got an office since I helped Matt with his work. I also had my own philosophy projects that I worked on by myself and with my mom.

Once I got to the phone, I dialed one of the numbers I knew by heart. After 2 rings, I heard Ty's assistant pick up.

'His Royal Highness, Crown Prince Tyler of Italy's Office. How may I help you?'

'Helen! How are you?'

'Charlie! I'm doing great. You haven't called in a few days where have you been?'

'I've been busy working, I wish I could have called but working on my projects has been taking my free time away'

'Awww that's too bad. Would you like to talk to Tyler?' Helen, Ty and I go through this so much that titles have been removed from me and Ty's names.

'Of course.'

After about 30 seconds, I heard Ty pick up,'Charlie?'

'Ty! Hey! Sorry I haven't been able to talk lately, I've been busy and I know you have too. But I wanted to see if you could take about 2 months off of working and come here and spend time with me and Matt. He is going to have a Selection and we would both like you here to help us out, I'm teaching the girls etiquette lessons. UGH!' I started to ramble.

'Charlie slow down of course I would. I haven't seen you in so long. Do you want me to ask if Bella wants to come around to spend time with Eli.'

At that, as if by magic, Eli appeared in my office. We had started calling Elliot, Eli when he was 2. He became best friends with Ty's little sister, Arabella or Bella, when they were 4.

'Hey are you talking with Ty?' Eli asked.

'Of course. Come here' My 10 year old little brother came over and sat on my lap.

I put the phone on speaker so we could both talk with him. 'Hey Ty the phone is on speaker. I'm with Eli right now.'

'Hey little buddy, Charlie here just asked if I wanted to come visit your family for a couple of months. I had the idea of bringing Bella with me for a little bit. Would you like that?' Eli jumped at that.

'YESYESYES OF COURSE!' Eli hadn't seen Bella in a while, not as long as Ty and I, but still long.

'Hey why don't you run along. I want to talk to Ty a bit okay?'

'Okay, bye Ty' With that Eli ran off.

'Ty, I really miss you. I can't wait for you to get here.'

'Me too, when should I come?'

'Well they are announcing the Selection on Friday, so the Selected will be announced next Friday and arriving in 2 weeks. So maybe next Wednesday?'

'That sounds great! Don't forget to tell your mom this time that I am coming, instead of my mom telling your mom over the phone an hour before I arrived.'

'Fine. Hey have you talked to Cass lately'

'No how is she?'

'Oh you know, still in the honeymoon stage of her relationship with Andrew' I made a gag sound into the phone. I love Cass but Andrew is such a fake and a snob. Andrew is the second in line for the Spanish throne after his older sister.

'You still hate that guy?'

'Yeah but I fake it for Cass. Well I have to go, bye Ty. I can't wait to see you. Love you'

'Love you too, bye Charlie'

I walked into my mom's office, but stopped quickly when I saw that my parents were making out.

'Ugh guys really' at that they stopped and blushed. 'I wanted to tell you that Ty is gonna come and stay with us and help Matt and I with the Selection. He's coming next Wednesday and bringing Bella for a little while so Eli can see her.'

My mom looked at my dad, smiled and said,'Wow Maxon she is getting better at telling us when her best friend is coming'

'She sure is. Our little girl is growing up' My dad replied and I could sense the sarcasm.

'Well since we will be preparing for the Selected to be coming, they will have to stay on this floor'

I think I blew my parents eardrums out when I screamed. Ty had only been able to stay on the third floor with my family once. And him being on the third floor means that he is closer and I get to annoy him more.

'Well somebody is excited' My dad smirked.

'Of course I am! I haven't seen Ty in forever and he is staying on the third floor.'

'Okay bean, go get ready for lunch' Bean was my dad's nickname for me.

'Bye Dad, bye Mom'

After lunch, I went back to my room and started a card game with my maids. There is my head maid Ava, who my mom refers to as 'the Anne', then there is Sophia, 'the Mary',and last but not least Emma,'the Lucy'. They are all so close and started working for me since they were each 16. Even though they are older than I, we get along great. They are all a year apart from each other.

'So Ty is finally coming' Emma says dealing out the cards.

'Yeah, I can't wait to see him it has been too long, and guess what… he gets to stay on the third floor since the Selected are going to take up most of the second and we don't want him and Bella to have to run into them all the time and possibly fangirl over him.'

'That makes sense. Speaking of the Selection, do you have your eyes on anyone?'

'No there isn't anyone. The only boys I get to be around are Princes and Sons of Politicians. And all of the sons talk about politics all the time. The Princes that are available are either too young or Luke. I am NOT going to go out with Luke. I love Cass but I cannot stand Luke. He is such a flirt.'

'So… no one…?'

'Yeah… why?' The three of them smirked at each other with side glances.

'No reason.' They said in unison.

Two days later was the Report.

I was late as always. I was running out of my room as my maids made sure everything was there.

'YOUR TIARA' Sophia yelled down the hall. I made a quick stop, turned around and got my tiara and started sprinting again.

I finally made it and sat in my throne. I straightened my simple, long, navy blue dress with a sweetheart neckline with diamond beading on the top. A crew member came over fast to fix my strawberry blonde hair that was in a messy, low side bun with a few curls out.

As the crew member ran away I heard Gavril Fadaye say his opening line,

'Hello Illea and welcome to the weekly Report. Today our very own Prince Matthew has an announcement. Please welcome Prince Matthew to the stage everybody.'

The audience clapped as Matt walked up to the podium.

'Hello Illea, today I would like to announce that I will be having a Selection!' The audience went crazy. 'Any eligible young lady from between the ages of 21 and 18 are allowed to enter. You will have til next Thursday to get your entry forms into the providence offices. The letters will be out tomorrow morning. The ladies that will partake in my Selection will be announced next Friday on the Report. Goodnight'

Matt waved his hand as he walked back to his throne next to mine. The Report went on with announcements and updates from the advisors and my parents. Right after it ended, I went back to my room and fell asleep, like I always do after the Report.

That Tuesday I was walking down to lunch when I saw him...

Just think about what I said before the chapter.
