The Big Announcement

A/N: This is it, the first chapter...

Luke's P.O.V

As I'm walking down the halls of the palace I end up in the portrait room. One of the places I go to clear my head. All the paintings with my mom in them have been covered. I don't know why it happened, since I was young when my mom the late Queen died. I asked my dad about it and each time he says it helps him focus on "kingly duties" but we both know that's when he cheats in golf with the kings from our neighboring kingdoms. God, he is so annoying.

After clearing my head I walk to the meeting room where he's making an announcement. Knowing my father he is probably taking another vacation. When I get there I notice Alex from the Rowena Kingdom and Reggie from the Elsinore Kingdom and their parents, the Kings and Queens. Did I mention they're my best buds, and they are always here. Probably more than their own palaces so thats why we have special suites for them. It must be a big announcement since almost everyone who works in the palace is here.

My father begins saying "Ah, Lucas your finally here. Now for the big announcement, everyone, I will be stepping down from my position as King of the Azure kingdom in a few months." WHAT. THE. HELL. When did he decide this? I look around the room and everyone is as shocked as I am. Well except Caleb has a little smirk on his face. He's my dads most loyal assistant and is very sketchy. That's probably because he is more annoying my dad is. My father continues "To prepare for my retirement I am promoting the one and only Caleb Covington to be my royal advisor!" Ugh you have to be kidding me! Just Another reason for Caleb to be on my back. "This means Lucas, you must become king and find yourself a Queen." Alex and Reggie snicker, they know I have been avoiding this. I see their mothers smack them in the back of the head and now I'm holding back a laugh.

"Princess Carrie you may come in now."I roll my eyes. The one person I hoped my father wouldn't say.

Carrie comes in wearing her signature pink color. "Thank you Your Majesty, this is an honor to get to know your son further!" Carrie exclaims. I put up a fake smile, I have to be on my best behavior or I won't be able to get out of this hell-hole later.

"Well now that that is settled, lets play some golf!"My father says. Ugh, I hate my life.

Julie's P.O.V

(julie is sleeping right now)

"Mom, mom! Is that you!" I scream. She is sitting at the piano and her eyes are closed but she's not doing anything. "Mom? Momma! what are you doing? Can you hear me? Say something! Please..." I am at her side holding her hand, but she is still not doing anything. Suddenly she looks at me with a warm smile and nods. Then she turns into dust and vanishes... "NO MOM! Please don't GO!"

(Damn, momma Rose pulled a Peter Parker)

I find a single dahlia on the piano bench.

(dream over)

I sit straight up, head throbbing and tears on my face. I have had the same dream for a year now since my mom died. No one knows about it, well not including Flynn of course. If other people did know they would think I'm mentally unstable and that I need some help.

I look at the clock and its already 11:00. Shoot. I'm late! I was supposed to meet flynn at the marketplace an hour ago!I quickly freshen up and sprint towards the door.

"Well good morning to you too!" My annoying little brother Carlos says.

"Shut up I'm not in the mood"

"Well you have to be, since you are taking me to the marketplace"

"WHAT! Since when" I stressed. I was really not in the mood for this.

"Since dad left for work early today and I'm not allowed to stay home alone" Great. Just what I need.

"Fine, you have 3 minutes to get ready"

"I am ready"

"haha very funny. Now go brush your hair."

30 minutes later we finally left the house. Good thing the marketplace is only a 5 minute walk.

The marketplace is truly a magical place. A bunch of people come and set up their tents and tables and sell anything you can imagine.

My mom used to tell a story of how she and my dad met here. And they even bought their house here too.

"Finally your here!"Flynn exclaimed as Carlos and I approached her. "I was left alone for so long people thought I was homeless...well I did earn 20 bucks but still."
I chuckled. "Ok. Jules, I have a big announcement"
"Hold that thought" I said "Where's Carlos?"
Of course that little devil had to get lost and we haven't even been here for 5 minutes.

Me and Flynn searched row after row, we may have taken a couple detours to check out some candles and butterfly barrettes but finally after 15 minutes of searching we finally found him. At the trading card table.

"Carlos! Where have you been! I have been looking all over for you. I was almost worried about you."I shouted at him. "Sorry I heard there was new cards for trade and I went running"

"Whatever. Let's go."
"But what is dad going to say he finds out you almost lost me"
"Nothing because you won't tell him"
"Yeah sure, I won't tell him but you know what sounds good right now.....a triple scoop ice cream cone."
"You are despicable. Fine let's go to the ice cream cart then you stay by my side at all times"

2 hours later we were finally done shopping. Three bags full, almost a new record.

When we got back home Flynn decided to stay the night, fine by me.

"Julieeee" Flynn whined
"Yes Flynn"
"Can I tell you my news now"
"Duhh, now spill"
"Okay, I got us tickets to.....drumroll please"
I rolled my eyes and started stomping

"I got us tickets to see Sunset Curve at the hottest club in town"
"What Flynn! How did you get those, I've been looking for them everywhere"

Sunset Curve was this mysterious new band everyones been talking about. No one has seen them anywhere but some people say they look familiar. And its at the club! That's the place to go if you want to earn recognition.

"I have my ways, and magicians never reveal their secrets"
"First, your not a magician, second I could probably get them to tell me everything"
"Ok, bet next time we go into town I dare you to get the magician/clown/mime/juggler to tell you how he does his tricks"

This went on for the rest of the night and early in the morning. We could not go to sleep we were so excited.

I wonder who Sunset Curve is...

So that's the first chapter, I hope you like it please tell me what you think and vote. See you next chapter!
