Anne POV

You know those friends you just instantly hit it off with? That was Marcy for Anne. They hit it off instantly. It was like fate.

Anne flopped onto Marcy's bed. They had just finished the tour and they had a blast. They tried on dumb frilly dresses, sang till their voices hurt, painted on the portraits, just getting up to all sorts of shenanigans. "Wow, that was so much fun!" Anne exclaims.

"I know! Wow I feel so alive. Like, it's so nice to have someone my age around. Don't get me wrong, my moms are wonderful but I just always wanted a friend."

"Well I'm glad I met you," Anne says, sitting up and smiling at Marcy.

"Hey, me too," Marcy said.

Anne could still hardly believe she was best friends with a princess. WOW. Things changed so fast. She could hardly wait for Sprig, Polly, and HopPop to meet her. "So, how are you feeling?"

"What?"

"Well, I mean you're going to be ruling a literal kingdom," Anne says. "That's so crazy. I mean you're like 15?"

"Almost 16, but yeah."

"Must be feeling nervous huh?"

"Yeah," Marcy whispered. "It's really nerve wrecking. My mom, Lady Olivia, is such an amazing newt. I mean, she's elegant, smart, confident. I still feel like I have to match up to her to prove I'm ready, but frog, I don't even know if I'm ready."

"It sounds hard," Anne says. "But I'll help you. I'll be at your ceremony thing, and we can even be pen pals!"

     "Pen pals?" Marcy asks, softly. Anne saw her expression turn sad.

     "I mean, once I figure things out... I'm going home to my family of course. And you can rule Newtopia. And we can write, and maybe even visit each other. It'll be okay."

     Marcy nodded. "Right. I don't even want to think about ruling Newtopia to be honest. It's making my head hurt."

     "Haha, I bet."

     "I do want to talk to Akana though.. she seemed upset, I just really hope I didn't offend her."

     Anne nervously bit her lip. It really hurt her to lie to Marcy but Sasha wasn't comfortable with anyone knowing her name just yet. It still felt wrong.. "Maybe you should go talk to her.."

     "Yeah, maybe I should! You know, make amends."

     "Yeah! Here I'll even go with you."

     And with that, the two girls walked off to Sasha's room.
