Becky, Liam, Eleanor, Ophelia and their friends arrived to Monaco. "I'm getting the masters" Eleanor said.

"Bagsy" Liam sighed and Eleanor rolled her eyes. Becky laughed quietly.

"Shut up, Becky" Eleanor sighed.

Becky and her friends was in her room, while the eldest were playing poker. Becky was drawing in her sketchbook, Violet was reading and Dana was doing social media. Then someone knocked on the door and a person entered. "Hey guys". Becky stopped drawing and her mouth was wide open.

"Ethan" Dana and Violet smiled and hugged him.

"We miss you" Violet smiled.

"Becky" Dana looked at the princess. "Anything you want to say?"

"Liam!" Becky screamed, making Ethan, Dana and violet cover their ears.

"What?!" Liam ran in taking breaths. "I ran here...as fast as I could....What happened?" Liam turned around and saw Ethan.

"Ethan. You made it. Your brother Beck is downstairs with Len".

"That's cool" Ethan said and saw that Becky was angry.

"We'll leave you two" Dana said and the three of them left.

"You invited him?"

"Yeah. And Beck".

"What was Len's reaction?"

"She hit my head" Liam shrugged.

"Did she now?" Becky walked up to her brother.

"Oh no" Liam sighed and his sister slapped him in the face. "Ow. What's your problem with Ethan? You two dated".

"You said 'dated'. That's past tense. It was an ugly break up brother."

"But you two started as friends. Why not be friendly with him?"

"Like I said. Ugly break up".

Becky was at the swimming pool with her friends. Dana and Violet was telling her to talk to Ethan. "Girl, just talk to him. It's been 3 years. He probably matured" Dana said.

"Dana, Violet" Ethan walked up to the three girls.

"Talk to him" Violet whispered to Becky and she and Dana left.

Ethan watched Becky drinking her wine bottle and he sighed and sat down beside her. "Remember, this is the place we had our first kiss?" Ethan asked. Becky didn't answer. "Becky, all the years I wish you happiness. And I'm sorry I didn't give you that happiness''.

''Ethan'' Becky looked at him.

''That day, I regretted it. I regretted everything''.

''Why did you do it?'' she asked. Ethan shrugged. Becky stared at him for a while, sighed and left. She went to Liam who was sitting down, drinking. ''Can I join you?'' Becky asked him. Liam nodded and Becky sat down beside her brother. ''It's so hard'' she cried. ''I can't do it'' Becky sniffed and Liam put an arm around her sister.

The next day, Becky was swimming. Then she stopped when Dana and Violet came shouting for her name. ''Becky!''

''What?'' Becky swam towards them.

''Your brother is going to play darts against the dude who took Ahsok's car''.

***

Everyone was gathered around Liam and the opponent, Omar. ''The game is 501. First person who scores 501 without going over wins'' Ahsok informed them. ''Out is double and inner ring counts triple.''

''Three darts per turn and did I mention I love my car?'' Omar threw his darts and Ahsok sighed. ''triple 20, triple 20 and 20..we're screwed.''

***

''343 for Liam and 469 for Omar'' Ahsok sighed in disappointment.

''Double 16'' Omar said and threw the dart. ''So close''.

''Funny thing about pressure is that when you have weight on your shoulders'' Liam said and threw a dart. ''The rest comes easy''. He threw a dart again. Becky smiled.

''That's 120, you need double 19'' Becky told Liam.

''Ahsok, do you love your car?'' Liam asked.

''I love my car'' Ahsok replied.

''It's yours'' Liam smiled, throwing the dart at double 19.

''You know the thing I said...I lied'' Omar smiled. ''I'm keeping the car''. He started to leave but Ahsok and Liam tried to stop him, but his guards were pushing Liam and Ahsok away.

''Give him the keys!'' Ophelia yelled, holding a bow. ''I was raised in America where they decided guns were bad but a bow and arrow is honorable. So don't think I won't use this''.

''I'm not thinking!'' Omar exclaimed.

''It's slipping'' Ophelia sighed. ''It's slipping!''

''Alright! Take the car'' Omar gave the keys back to Ahsok. ''Crazy bitch'' Omar and his guards left. Ophelia sighed in relief but she accidentally shot Ahsok's leg.

''Ahsok'' Ophelia and everyone else gasped. Except for Becky and her friends. They started to laugh.

Later that night, Becky was watching her friends and brother and his friends watch the video of Ahsok. Becky looked at her left and saw Ethan with his brother Beck. Becky went over to them. ''Beck, is it ok if I talk to your brother?''

''You sure can'' Beck smiled at the young princess and left the two alone. ''You saw the video of Ahsok?'' she asked smiling and Ethan nodded. ''Ethan, it's been three years. We matured. We can still be friends right? I mean, we friends first before we became boyfriend and girlfriend'' Ethan looked at her and Becky put her hand out. ''Friends?''

''Friends'' Ethan shook her hand.

''Awww!'' Ethan and Becky turned around and saw Dana and Violet. Becky shook her head.

***

The next day, everyone was on the plane. Becky went to Ethan. ''Now that we're friends again, visit the palace'' Becky said.

''I'll try'' Ethan chuckled.

''Try? Please come'' Becky pleaded.

''Fine. Tomorrow?'' Becky smiled and hugged him. They let go of each other and stared at each other for a while. Then they kissed. Becky pulled back. ''We're still friends right?''

''Yeah. Friends'' Becky assured him.
