"C'mon Cait, we have to get you packed, we're leaving in less than twelve hours and you can't leave without clothes," Alice warned me. It was nearing eleven o'clock and I still haven't pack for our trip to the capital.

"How can I concentrate on packing, Alice? I just found out who my real parents are, and they're Cinderella and Prince Henry. The Prince and Princess from the most iconic fairytale ever. It's hard to even believe that," I said as Alice pulled a dark blue dress from my closet. "Do you know when I can at least meet them Alice? Like in person?"

"You'll most likely met them when we go to the Capital. They do live there."

"How could I, of all people, forget Cinderella's Castle is in Walt Disney World which is the capital?" I questioned aloud.

"I think you're losing it. You forget something about Disney, never. You sleep. I'll pack for you." Alice ordered pushing me down onto the mattress that was covered with a blue blanket.

"C'mon Cait! Hurry it up! The carriage is about to leave!" Someone yelled as their voice rang through my head. Footsteps could be heard stomping down the hall hardly on the floor. The wooden door slammed open and revealed Tiana with a frying pan in one hand and a spoon in the other.

Tiana was wearing a light yellow dress that reached right below her knees. The sleeves were rolled up right behind her elbows with a white apron tied around her waist.

She took the wooden spoon and banged it upon the pan creating a loud ringing noise throughout the room. I quickly sat up from the cloud-like mattress. "I'm awake! I'm awake!"

"Now get ya clothes on, girl!" Tiana yelled walking out of the room slamming the door again in the process.

I walked over to the wardrobe and opened the white painted doors attached. I picked a pale purple dress from the hanger.

The dress had sleeves that reached my forearm and the hem reached right below my knees. There was a lace covering over the skirt of the dress that caused the dress to flow more.

I changed into the dress and took a pair of white flats from the floor of the wardrobe and quickly slipped them onto my feet. I ran over to the bedside table and picked up the hairbrush and slide it through my brown hair with ease.

I walked over to the door to find Tiana leaning against Elsa's door across the hall. "Took ya long enough," Tiana spoke as I closed the door behind me.

"It's not everyday I have to wear gowns wherever I go," I whispered as I began to walk down the hall with Tiana to my right.

"Ya better get used to it Cait," Tiana looked over at me. "If you complete this mission, you get to stay here with these gowns wherever you go."

"I know that, but from wearing average modern-day American clothes to ball gowns only seen in movies... It's a big change."

"I can see wear you're comin' from, work clothes to gowns is somethin' difficult," Tiana looked back at me from where she was walking ahead.

Getting to know all of these characters-- I mean people, is going to be interesting.

The large wooden doors of the palace slowly opened as Tiana and I neared them. I could see the faded outline of Alice standing in the courtyard through the dawning sky. As we reached the outside, Alice swung her head around and looked at the two of us. She looked at us with her cold, blue eyes.
