Chapter 1

"Princess? Miss? It's time to get up." A maid of the palace gently shook the girl's shoulder. The light blue eyes of the royal Princess slowly opened. The maid was taken back when the girl instantly shot up! Her eyes her wide, "It's the day!" She hopped up then down off of the bed, her feet landing on the floor with a thud. She was running toward the doors of her giant bedroom, "Wait Mistress!" the maid called after her, holding a small dress. But the girl swung the doors open, then darted out. The maid close at hand. The young Princess ran with her little legs not paying much attention to the direction she was heading, for she suddenly slammed into somebody. She looked up to see a woman with white hair and a big, warm, smile.

"Mommy!" cried the Princess happily. The Queen laughed lovingly.

"Oh my dear Olvia what brings you up and running around the palace?" asked the Queen.

"Tonight is the ball so I want to be ready! I want to help!" The child beamed. Her mother bent down too see face to face with her daughter, "Well, what do you say if we head back into your room and put on a nice dress. You can help with the preparations for tonight... And then, you will get to wear a beautiful ball gown, and dance with all the little boys of the kingdom." Little Princess Olvia nodded, and took her mother's hand.

The Princess got to do all the things she was promised. And, as you know, had the privilege of wearing a dress fit for a princess and a ball. When she stepped out with the maids close behind, the King and Queen greeted her in their arms and kissed her.

"You are most beautiful," her father complimented her.

"You will be the jewel of the ball my dear," added her mother. The Princess took their hands as they led her to the gigantic ball room, where a hundred guest waited to see the royal family. Where a hundred guest waited to see their lovely eight year old Princess. Where a hundred guest waited for the ball to start.

The heavy doors opened and a roar of applauses echoed throughout the ballroom. The royals waved at the many guests.

Soon the ball started and they danced the night away. The King danced with his Queen. But most of the attention was on the little Princess who had never been to a ball before, and was enjoying every moment of it. Some said, "She must be having the time of her life!" or, "Oh the young Princess is such a wonderful dancer for her age!" The night lasted forever, or at least that is what little Olvia believed.

It was well past midnight and so the ball drew to a close. The royal family put their precious daughter to bed. She had fallen asleep hours ago. Her father blew out the candle, and they closed the door behind them.

A/N: Yeah the first chapters are always short... sorry! XD
