I woke up from my deep sleep and looked at a hole I digged with a spoon through time in the bricks to tell what time it was. I saw the baby blue sky and knew it was morning. Time for school. I took off my clothes and put them in the water and soap filled bucket a few feet away from me. I looked at the pile of clothes I folded that was on the floor and Saw a roach on one of my holister jackets. I bent down to the roach.

"hey" I whispered to it, "can you get off of my jacket please? I think I have a few bits of crackers in my book bag I can give you if your hungry." I said trying not to scare it. I must seem crazy but last time I talked to a bug it talked to me. I know i'm not crazy but of course me telling someone would result in them making me think I am.

I saw that the roach was still in the same spot as it was so I assumed it was waiting for me to give it some food. I like different living things. I think they are nice if you dont harm them. I remember when my father saw a plant outside and it was a beautiful flower that sprouted really long. Too long for his liking. It came to his knee, so he stomped on it and I felt a pain inside my heart and I don't know why but I cried for the life of that plant.

I got up and walked over to my bookbag getting one of my Ritz crackers.  about to walk over, I turned and saw the roach right behind me and in my surprise, waiting its its cracker that I promised. "here" I said, and put it on the floor.  I smiled and walked around getting my jacket and a top with some jeans all back, and slipped them on. I waved bye to the roach and it went out the hole I worked on for a few years. I opened the door slowly and stepped out, careful not to make much noise. I put my hair in a ponytail and put my hood on my head. I creeped down the stairs and found my dad still asleep.

Well this is rare. Why is he still asleep? Well I'm not complaining but he should be up like he always is. Well, whatever. I walked normally to the door and turned the knob, creaking it a little bit.

"fuck you", I whispered and smiled.

I stepped out the door and walked down to the sidewalk. I walked further while looking on the floor. I saw some movement ahead of me and looked up. Coming the opposite of my on the road was  black car with gray colored windows, making it very hard for me to see who was inside. I decided to let it go because its just some car going by, nobody special. I continued walking until the car stopped next to me. I looked up and tried to look through the window but I couldn't see inside at all. There was no need anyway, because the driver started rolling it down. It was a man with black glasses. His color style I like, since that's my favorite color.

"Get in" he said, with his hand still on the wheel. What? No! he Doesn't just expect me to just get in a car with him and he doesn't know me, and I dont know him. "Huh? Nah You must be mistaken me for someone else sorry, plus I have school to attend to. Sorry to waste your time?" I waved awkwardly and continued walking. The guy with the black sunglasses put his car in reverse and backed up.

"I said get in. I was sent to inform you of this information and give you two choices."

"The hell with that. You can go tell your prank buddies their plan did not work. Thank you. Bye."

"But hold on a minute." he took his glasses off and turned to me again annoyed," Are you sure you want to proceed?" he asked.

"Hey! Arent you that same man in that black suit from last night that got in my way on purpose?"

"Um" he cleared his throat, "That was not my question miss."

"Why are you so proper? Here, say, aye cuuhhhh wassuuuuuup"

"Um,  do not know wh-"

"JUST SAY IT" I yelled.

"Aye cun whatsuuuup."

"We'll work on it"

"So are you going to get in?"

"Hmm, where are you going to take me?

"To a palace."

"Your kidding."

"Miss, not to be rude, but do your really think I, of all people, would be making any type of unnecessary jokes such as that?"

"No not really. But hey, what do I have to loose."

"That is more like it. Would you like me to escort you into the car?"

"No thanks. eh, I um, didn't catch your name."

"Oh yes, I am Juice"

"Seriously?"

"Ha ha, no not really, I just wanted to try one of the jokes. Was it not funny?"

"It was funny but I thought you were serious so I didn't  really want to offend you by laughing."

"Get in and ill tell you."

I slid my hand under the black car door handle and pulled it open. I climbed in and saw a chocolate bar on the seat. I moved it, sat down, and shut the car door.

"Chocolate bar is for you, it is the richest chocolate bar ever made. That one bar was eight thousand dollars to round it up. Don't believe me? Look at the receipt I left under it."

I lifted the chocolate bar and saw there was a receipt under it just like he had told me. I picked it up and saw the price. Which was exactly $7,999.99

"But what about taxes?" I asked.

"I didn't buy it, but the prince did. Our kind dont pay what you call 'taxes'. It is absolutely ridiculous."

Our kind? What was he talking about? I never really understand his lingo anyway, he could be meaning something else.

"Oh right, my name is Ucile."

"Never heard of that kind of name before"

"I presume that is why my parents have chosen that unique name for me. Although you did not say it right."

"Okay, how do I say it then?"

"It is pronounced, (You-si-eel)"

"That is what I said! Ucile."

"It is not. You are not accenting it like I do."

"Ucile. Ucile. Ucile. That is how I pronounce it. Don't like it? Then ill call you bob. How do you like bob?"

"That is utterly beyond the worst name you could possibly give a person."

"I know right."

I looked in the mirror and saw him smiling.

"Have you eaten your chocolate yet? It is very good."

"No not yet. I'm not really hungry right now."

"Oh I see. Eat it whenever you feel so."

I looked ahead and saw we were in the middle of nowhere.

"We're here!" Ucile exclaimed.

"But we're in the middle of nowhere."

"The place is not visible precisely because it is enchanted, wait a few moments and hold onto something."

"Wh-" I was cut off by an enormous wind whipping in my face pushing me back. I couldn't move nor talk. I looked over at ucile and saw he was unfazed. I looked ahead and then I saw indeed, a palace.
