A/N: The picture above shows Americas maids.

My maids; Anne, Mary, Lucy, and Marlee, waited for me in my room.

Anne was my head maid and although she was working for me for 4 years, and Mary and Lucy for 3 years, and Marlee for only one, Marlee was my favorite.

Marlee was the type of person who just brightened your day up, after a day like today I needed her.

When I got into my room I asked my maids to run me a bath and lay out my pajamas.

They did as they were told, I dismissed them but as they were about to leave I asked Marlee to stay, and as I did a smile spread across her face, I knew she loved chatting with me as much as I did.

When I was finally finished with my bath, and had put my nightgown on we sat down to talk.

"So how are you?" She asked.

I considered telling her about the whole Davis situation but realized I was way too embarrassed to talk about it, so I decided to talk about the selection.

"Well as you know my selection is coming up, and honestly Marlee I'm really nervous." I started to fiddle with the song bird necklace my dad had given me, such along time ago. It always helped calm me down.

Marlee had a huge smile spread across her face she loved it when I confided in her with girly problems.

"Well honestly America, you'd probably be forced into this all at some point in time, and how bad could this really be having the chance to find true love?" She said.

"I don't want to go through all of this I just want to take my time or find a husband some other way, I mean what if a psycho comes into the palace." I replied.

"Well if they do they'll have to go through me first." Marlee said and tried to flex her arm to show me her small muscles.

We both giggled.

I told Marlee goodnight, and she curtsied and left the room.

Tomorrow even more applications for the selection would come in, and I would be twice as stressed as I am today, well that's what I get for being princess.
