Zareena unfolded the envelope from Bloom it had been taken out of Bloom's letter collection
It was labeled Day 1 of life in the palace.

Dear Mirta,
I hope you will never tell anyone this. It's just I'm not cut out for palace life. It's was never my dream to ever be the Princess I am right here and now. Everyone is so hard on me even Sky and Erendor and the maids in waiting for Domino palace suites are all so very picky.

Life on Earth was so much easier. Mike and Vanessa Peters were strict out of unconditional love. Vanessa would always take me to the pizza place once every month and let me get whatever kind I wanted never judging by appearance or trying to keep my appetite in check or that my weight was down. Each summer she made me forget that I was even that different because she embraced me with her unexpressable unconditional love. Mike when he got days off he never forgot to send us surprise flowers before we arrived home or wrapped chocolates in heart shaped boxes. He'd help us clean up and we would sometimes go out to the movie theaters too. When we went there or anywhere else he was always there to the hold that door for us till we passed through without getting whacked. Andy saw that and he said to me. "My parents hardly treat me as well as your Dad and Mom do, Bloom. They give quadruple much love as mine take to help me. My sister is the only who is there to help me. Don't hate on your Foster parents so much. I wish I had parents as good as them, Bloom. I wish I was in your shoes. Unconditional love is so much better than good grades and a plastic kingly crown. The love you've been raised in the idealism you've been taught is richer and pure than what most rich kids get. Be grateful for what you have, and appreciate it, before it's gone. Tell them show them how much you love them. Thank your Dad and Mom for showing you how a tried and true married couple act like in difficult times. The way they are so nice to you around other people is the exact same way others will want to treat you, Bloom. They treat you like their little princess, opening doors for you getting you and your mother flowers and chocolates on random days just to see you smile and you're tears of sorrow fade to into joy upon your face. Remember this Bloom promise that okay, bestie."

"I promise Andy, I will remember this and thank you." said Bloom. "You're sister's here."

"Hey, Bloom, nice to see you again congratulations on the Horseback Riding Championships at the Gardenia Equestrian Academy you and Sally make wonderful riding partners."

"Thanks, Miss Handler."

"Miss Peters how many times must I tell you please call me Eva. I got your both presents 🎁."

"Eva you shouldn't have," exclaims Andy. "It's not our birthdays."

"Do I need a special reason to love my little brother and his best friend?" She asked.

"Oh, Eva my new riding uniform thank you so much for this it's gorgeous. Andy's lucky to have a sister like you."

Andy opened his gift, and gasped. "You got me a new blue concert jacket, Eva, big sister you're the best."

"I know leather imitation is your favorite style and I got to put in a good wood with one of the Family Music Bars The Fruitti Music Bar they want you to play for them."

"Only if you promise both to come and listen."

"We're in," says Bloom. "As long as you come to the Next International Horseback Riding Competition, Eva needs your support. I'll be your plus one Andy."

"Fine, you had me at being your plus one, Bloom."
