Decorations were set up. The music was being rehearsed. Everyone's outfits were being fitted with the final touches. Tomorrow was the big day everyone had been waiting for. The big coronation ceremony of the year.

One boy in particular had been looking forward to this day for months. For so long, he felt it would be his one chance to shine like the rest of his magical family back when he was powerless and seen only as the one adopted child in the royal family. But now, he was starting to have doubts.

Boba felt scared.

He wasn't sure he could do this. This was the biggest day of his life. His official royal debut. And he wasn't doing it alone like originally anticipated. Now, he was doing it with his twin sister who was adopted into the royal family just a couple months ago.

Boba wasn't under as much pressure as the rest of his family because he was adopted, and because he didn't have his crown yet. But he was under pressure when it came to learning to be a prince, as well as set an example for the younger kids as a big brother and an older cousin.

Boba looked on different social media sites, finding a bunch of posts, videos, and livestreams counting down for the big day. In a number of hours, Boba and Omega would be officially crowned prince and princess of Solaris.

"I don't know about this." Boba said to his lion plushie. "This is what I was waiting for, but now I'm not so sure how to feel about it."

Naturally, as a toy, Fuzzy didn't answer. He just sat there, staring up at Boba with those cute black button eyes.

"Pfft! Look at me! Turning thirteen tomorrow, and I'm still talking to a stuffed animal." Boba sighed.

Boba looked at the japor snippet bracelet his parents gave him before they sent him away to protect the family's magic. He never took that bracelet off. It was a wonderful gift of love, and much like Gabby's necklace, it was the third birthday present he'd ever received from his parents. The japor snippet was said to bring good fortune, and he did face a lot of it after receiving it.

He saved his family, found his sister, discovered his hidden talent as a cheerleader, and was now going to a great school with a great new life in the royal palace on Naboo. He'd even gotten magic of his own, which he was still learning about. But still, he was worried.

Would people treat him any differently than they did before? If they did, would they treat him better? More like he was part of the family? But even if they did, would it be just because he had a crown and magic? Or would people see the real him?

Sighing, Boba exited his room and walked down the halls for a bit. He could see some of the Jedi in their rooms, packing their things so they would be ready to move back into the Temple. They had a lot of faith that Gabby would be able to restore their home, as she promised to officially commence spell casting after the twins' birthday party.

Boba went to the corral and rode around on Remix for a while.

"So... it's your big day tomorrow." Remix said. "it's gotta be exciting. You're getting your crown tomorrow."

"Yeah. Exciting."

Remix could definitely sense his rider was feeling doubtful.

"Boba, if you're nervous about the ceremony, you're gonna do great."

"It's not that." Boba said. "It's... it's the way things are gonna change once I am officially a prince. What if after I get my crown, people treat me the way Gabby was at school?"

"Like you're royalty?" Remix sounded confused now.

"Like they only care about my title and it becomes impossible to find any new friends or know if I actually earned things like gifts, scholarships to prestigious high schools or colleges. Or people just give me those things because I'm royalty."
