I wake up the day of the dance feeling nauseous, and nervous. I look down at my hands shaking, my voice was shaky too. I put on my robe and go out to the living room, wondering if today was just getting ready for the Ball or I have the last of the lessons.

" What am I doing today?" I ask aloud to anyone who wants to answer.

" You will get ready for the Ball, you can wear anything that you want but you will be changing into a gown, for the night. The maids will pick one out of the few the Prince picked out for you. After you get ready, The ball will begin. You would need one of us to walk you in, or you can walk in alone. As you should know not just the Adults will be there the whole Royal family will be there. So stay aware of children and peeping teenagers." Brown and Brian say switching off sentences.

" Okay, just one question at the moment... Will they give me issues? Oh, will they mind if a Butler brings me in wouldn't that be suspicious if I didn't want to be noticed?" I ask fiddling with my hands to stay calm.

" No one should be giving you issues because  Prince Baba personally invited you. Would you rather have Dimitri escort you?" Norman says.

" Dimitri, has he healed properly?" I ask getting off subject. " He's fine, just fine. Okay, I don't know about the escort thing." I answer my own question.

" Okay, Dimitri will escort then." Brown's says.

" No! Um... Sorry I mean no, I just don't know like, doesn't he have a date or somethings." I ask.

" No, it is Dimitri, one of us or The Prince himself..." Norman starts to say.

" There is no way in Living hell, excuse my language, the Prince will bring me to his family Ball. Um... One of you guys...? Geez, I don't like picking between Men.." I say starting to pace back and forth thinking about each Butler's Personality. " Who wants to escort me to the Ball take two steps forward, if you seriously want to do it and not just for your job..." I add stopping in front of them. They all take two steps forward, I look up wondering why.

" Why? Explain." I ask and they all give fabulous reasons why it was touching that they all care. " B- no... N- no... E- no... I don't know. How about, I'll be right back." I start to say then rush back into my room. I remember when I was little how my Father put all of the options onto a jar and just let fair help, it was that or Iny Meany Minny Mow. So that is what I did, I wrought their names on separate pieces of paper and placed them in a jar. I pick a name out, and it was Brown. I go back out to the living room giving a curtsy to Brown.

" So, that's that.." Brian says faintly.

" Why do you always get the lady's?" Edgar moans.

" I told all of y'all that there was something behind those glasses," Norman says.

" Yeah, Bad eyesight," Brown says, we all laugh at his comment.

" I like when you guys relax, we have loads of fun... I really am going to miss y'all. Can't you stay longer..? No, don't be stupid they only stayed for the lessons...." I answer my own question. " What?!? I only answered my own question. Don't you do it sometimes?" I say answering their questioning expressions.

"No." They all say.

" Okay, let's get ready to go, wear the blue silk dress, the color suits you," Brian says, I nod at his comment. I feel my nerve calm, as I look at all of them. I go in the back after a minute and put on the dress with a pair of black heels. We all head outside to the limousine, after locking the door, I turn around looking at the vehicle.

" Can I really do this?" I ask looking at all of them. " I mean, what if I make a mistake and I embarrass myself or someone else? " I say with a slow calm voice, I'm not scared or anxious but worried.

"You were already a well mannered-' beautiful-' kind-' respectful-' young woman-' You will be amazed out there-' just don't forget who you are." They all say one after another completing the generous sentence.

" Thank you, okay let's go," I say walking towards them. We all gather up in the limousine making our usual conversation. We pull up to the enormous mansion's stairwell climbing to the big French doors.

" Ma'am shall we?" Brown says as everyone gets out before me. I give a shall nod and take his hand and climb out.

" It is not starting yet, everyone has to get ready, shall we take to your room?" Norman says as we start to climb the stairs.

" Wait for a room, I don't want to take up too much space I don't need or want a room," I say as my heart starts to speed up a bit.

" How will you chan.." Edgar starts to say when I interrupt him.

" Cut the manners really quick, please. Talk to me normally please..?" I say sheepishly.

" You have to change that's the only reason you have a room, to store your clothes and luggage," Edgar says from behind me. I nod when we get to the top the doors open to a large area, like a hotel lounge. We go to 'my room' where maids were waiting.

" Well wait outside till you get ready." Norman stays.

" No, you will wait in the room, you guys are going to be my judges," I say pulling them in the big room. The maids bring me into a mother room where 5 beautiful dresses hand on the wall. I take both gray lace dresses off the wall and hand them to the blond.

" Would you please take these in the other room and put them where I can't see them, thanks," I said as she looks at me in surprise, but she does what I say. I have a hard time choosing between two of the three, the leave me alone and they join the butlers as I get dressed. As soon as I am about to open the door so they can judge, I hear them talking about me.

Voice one: I heard she slept with someone to be here, she only wants popularity.

Voice two: I don't know what that slut is doing here.

Brown: Don't say such things, they are just rumors. It's probably not true.

Voice one: Why are you saying that, did she sleep with you?

Brown: Don't you dare suspect such things.

Voice three: Shh, she could probably here you guys.

I hear their conversation through the door, I knew this wasn't a good idea.
I calm myself and put the blue dress back on. I made sure I had all of my stuff before opening the door. I look at all of them, then in silence I walk to the door, leaving. After I reach the bottom step, I hear a familiar voice.

" Good Morning Miss, are you leaving?" The Prince says as I turn around facing him.

" Your Majesty, I'm sorry but I don't belong here. I have to go excuse me." I say then a bow. As I leave and reach for the handle of the door of the Limousine, another voice yells behind me. I ignore the voice and gets in the limousine, I tell the driver to take me home and he does. On the way back I stop at an atm before getting our, giving the driver some money as gas money. I gather up all of the dresses and the supplies they let me use and I pack them in a box, with $2000. Leaving a note and the box in the living room. Locking myself in my room. I hear the front door open and multiple feet walk in, I don't want to face them. But I hear the footsteps come closer.

" You still have time, it starts in an hour... We're sorry." I hear one say.

'Baby...' I hear in the faint background, it sounded just like Max, I rush to the door swinging it open, finding only the Butlers. I slam the door back closed without saying anything. The door open when I plop back on the bed.

" I told you guys don't come into my room..." Those few words escaping from my mouth I bust out in tears.

" I'm sorry." They all say and sitting on the end of the bed.

" She called me a slut... (Sniff) they thought I slept with the p-Prince! " I start to say until I looked up staring at The Prince standing in my room. I was shocked that I jump and fall off the opposite side of the bed. " I'm so sorry your Majesty!" I say loudly from the floor.

" Ma'am are you okay?" He says.

" Yes, Your Majesty!" I say squirming on the under the bed grabbing a mirror I didn't bare to pick up. Fixing my hair and eyes before jumping up.

" You know I can pull strings, I can stop those rumors I never heard of. You are very important, you saved my brother's life." The Prince says.

" No need for that, getting to know your dearest butlers was enough of a payback Your Majesty. " I say stopping him from saying any more.

" Please, I wanted to introduce you to my mother. Come with me." The Prince says.

" I meet the Queen... You've gotta be joking. Don't answer that, of course, your not joking. What if she doesn't like me, what is I like burp in front of her how embarrassing. What if.," I start to get really nervous. The next thing I know my mind goes blank then Edmond is holding my shoulders.

" Calm down, you here? You stopped talking, hello?!?" Edmond says looking into my eyes.

" Sorry, nervous... How long was I out?" I ask looking at everyone.

" three minutes.." He says back.

" I want to go ahead with the ball," I say, looking at everyone shocks face.

" Okay, let's go... Can someone explain what just happened?" The Prince says as we start to leave the room. We all laugh at his question and explain what happened on the way back to the mansion.
