Chapter 5

I made a delicious meal (with the help of Grandma). Everyone enjoyed it.

"Where did you learn to cook?" Aunt Jen asked me.

"Since I can't leave the palace grounds," I said. "I needed a hobby. The chef taught me."

"This is yummy," Cassie said.

I smiled at Cassie. Grandma smiled at me. Aunt Caroline and Aunt Jen did the dishes. I went to the guest room to send an email to my parents and JoJo.

Mama, Papa og JoJo,

I made it to Manitowoc. It was a long flight, but I slept most of the way. I just made a delicious meal (with the help of Grandma) and everyone loved it. I'm glad you granted me this wish, Papa. I love being a regular girl for once. Anyway, I just wanted to let you three know that I arrived safely.

Love,

Alexandrina.

I sent the email off then went to bed. When I got up the next morning, I got dressed and went downstairs. My grandparents were in the kitchen.

"Morning," I said. "Are we going into town today?"

"We sure are," Grandpa said. "Do you need something?"

"I wanted to go to the store for a new notebook," I said. "It's to write down my thoughts."

"We'll head into town after you eat," Grandma said.

I got my breakfast. I ate then put my dishes in the dishwasher. My grandparents and I headed into town. Grandma and I headed to the stationary of the general store. I bought a new notebook and some pens. We headed back to the truck. That's when I bumped into a really cute guy.
