"Whoa."
Even as a two, the magnificent sight of the palace was beautiful. Angeles was majestic- compared to Calgary. On the plane, Zoe got back with Esmeralda almost immediately- I basically slept the whole way.
A woman with tiny glasses stopped in front of the all the girls crowded in front of the palace gates.
"Follow me," she said waving her hands, "I'll give the introduction while we walk."
I exchange glances with Esmeralda.

"First, you selected will be cleaned and polished to extreme, to the beauty standards of our beloved queen. And-"
"Wait!" Exclaimed a short girl with a short brown bob at fierce blue eyes, "Why should we have to be up to the Queen's standards?"
"Name?" The woman squinted her eyes at the girl.
"Freya." She looked back at the woman, "You?"
The women removed her glasses and polished them. "I happen to be the head maid of our beloved Queen Divine, Wendy." She smiled proudly.
Freya rolled her eyes. "More like Queen of Stupidity's stupid maid." She muttered, her mousy brown blob bobbed.
Wendy sniffed, oblivious to Freya's comment, "Anyway, go to the stations that have your name on them." She turned around and floated away.
"Astrella..." I looked around for my station.
"Miss Astrella?" I heard a smooth voice.
I turned toward the voice.
A man twirling his mustache was standing in front of me. "Ahh, Lady Astrella." He gave a mischievous smirk.

He snapped his fingers a few times in front of me. "Rude!"
I blinked, "Sorry."
He motioned gracefully for me to sit.
I did.
"You look absolutely stunning!"
"Thank you," I beamed.
"Not." He added bluntly, an obvious smirk on his face.
I nodded, "Hmm," I said nothing after that.
"Now, now." He twirled a strand of my hair around his index.
He snapped his fingers and someone put a blindfold on me.
I reached up blindly.
"Shush," he grabbed my hands, "Let me work."
I nodded and dropped my hands.
I felt hands on my hair. Then, a pair of hands wet my hair, while another pair of hands seemed to work on my nails.
Than, a pair of delicate hands put earphones in my ears, and soon, a feel asleep.
