When we arrived, they escorted us to a room filled with other girls getting their hair and makeup done. That meant one thing. Makeovers.

I was pulled away from Mer and Punzie and shoved into a dressing room. They took off my clothes, dispite my protest, and pushed me into a bath where they scrubbed. I was given a gown that they helped me pull on and I was set...for hair and makeup.

They told me I was gorgeous so after blushing for a while they applied light makeup and and french braided my hair. They put in little diamond Snowflake pins making me feel ten times more expensive.

I looked over and saw Punzie getting her hair dyed brown. I didn't see why though, the blond fit her so well. Although, when they were done, Rapunzel looked like a natural brunette. Her dress was purple and gorgeous. It suited her perfectly.

Merida had five different people trying to tame her hair. There were murmurs coming from the hair tamers such as: Why did they pick this one. She has such bushy hair! I can't believe we got stuck with this job. The entire time Mer held a smirk on her face which she was quickly told was unlady like. She just scoffed and said, "You sound like my mother." I giggled slightly trying not to be noticed.

After ten minute they had done it. Merida's hair was shoulder length and they put chemicals in it to tame the curls. After they turned her around, she was even more stunning than before. Some girls were amazed, others were jealous.

"Now all of you must go through a short interview speaking about your Makeovers. This is your first chance to connect with the people of Burgess. Don't blow it!" The head woman annouced. Her name was on the tip of my tongue. I ignored that and stood up. I got in line behind a few other girls as we made our way towards the cameras. When I got in the area, I was spoken to by Genie Agra the host of the Report.

"So you are Lady Elsa? Your are even more beautiful in person." I blushed and looked at the ground.

"Thank you." I spoke as gracefully as I could.

"And you have the voice of an angel. So tell me about your makeover." He instructed calmly. There wasn't much to tell.

"They didn't do much. Since my hair is an unusual colour they just pulled it back. They applied light makeup and dressed me in this beautiful gown. They did an amazing job none the less." Genie nodded.

"Well Lady Elsa that's all we need. You can go." I sat in the Womens room with Punzie while we waited for Mer to finish her interview.

She came out with a huge smile on her face and a crazed look in her eyes.

"Uhhh Mer are you ok?" I asked slowly scooting away as she sat on the couch.

"My face is stuck like this!" She whined. Punzie laughed a little to loud and was immediately yelled at by the lady in charge.

"Ladies should keep their voices at a polite volume." She snapped. Punzie gulped and nodded. Merida and I giggled quietly as Punzies face grew bright red.

After all of the other girls finished with their interviews, the lady gave us our next instructions.

"We will all be going to the great hall to eat dinner. After I will take you to on a tour of the castle and drop you off at your rooms." We all nodded and followed her to the great hall.

After a quick etiquette lesson we had plates of steak placed in front of us. I dove in. I was trying as well as I could to be ladylike. I failed. But it was the first time I had eaten real food in a while.

After dinner we walked around the castle. She pointed out the rooms we couldn't go in. Then we got to the rooms. She dropped us off at our own rooms before reminding us one last time that we would be meeting the prince in the morning
