Dream land

Chapter 4

I heard the announcer, Jack of Edgewood Forest, then Pat of Edgewood Forest, then it was my turn

Katerina of Edgewood Forest. I walked in as the door opened and saw a huge crowd clapping and smiling, I instantly felt out of place, I'm used to my crew and forests, not strangers and ballrooms but I put on my best poker face and walked in smiling and found my way to Ashley, when she saw me she smiled and waved then turned to the small crowd in front of her and said this is my friend Katerina of Edgewood Forest, Katerina this is the Janette queen of wuzzle world. she pointed to a girl who liked like Jhenna, from school then she pointed to a girl who looked like Allyson and this is Allisa my Governess for the southern Haven, then she pointed to a guy who looked like Adam and said and this is King Joe Hobo of hobo island. I asked her to talk privately

What?

Let's see, I saw Jhenna, Allyson, and Adam today.

Really? Where?

you just introduced them to me.

What!?

Yea, Janette is Jhenna, Allisa is Allyson, and Hobo Joe is Adam.

How didn't I notice?

cos you've only really known about this place for a short time.

Oh that makes a lot of sense, I was thinking cos I didn't think I guess, I don't know.

So how are we going to tell them?

I don't know, uh how about hmm we invite them to a small gathering for your birthday and that's when we tell them.

Good idea but my birthday isn't unfilled March, and its May.

Good point, uh how about just a fun dinner party next week and that's when we tell them.

Good, can't wait. (insert squeals) so we went back to dancing (well she danced I just sat at the snack table and ate, watching) then I saw Ashley walk over to a guy, but I couldn't see his face, and start talking to him, so I started walking around and ran into someone.

Oh crap, I'm so sorry. I said looking mortified, I'm not used to these heals.

it's ok, I'm fine. he said getting up

What's your name. I guessed I should probably be polite, this isn't school where you can bump into someone and say sorry and run away.

I'm Michael, what is you name mi'lady. he gave a slight bow, I actually blushed and said I'm Katerina, it's a pleasure to meet you.

The pleasures all mine Miss Katerina. That made me blush more, stop blushing! I mentally yelled at myself, I'm not one to blush (unless I'm mad), and feeling even slightly attracted towards a guy is not usual for me, I'm Katerina, the queen of barbarians, dutchess of muggers, lady of all things like that, and I do not "crush" on boys, unless I'm crushing their skull.

May I have this dance. he said knocking me out of my thoughts and practically on to my butt.

Uh sure, of uh course. Stop stuttering I told myself mentally and tried with all my might to let him take the lead. As we danced I kept stepping on his toes making me laugh, then after I kind of got used to not being in charge, we had small talk, I found out that he was a duke of Hobo island

so you know Joe then.

More or less, he's my uncle.

Wow, did not see that coming.

So how do you know Queen Ashlen?

She's an old friend, we met at tutoring, her mom tutored all kids, rich or poor, and if someone who wanted to learn was sick she set up a 3d video chat and that kid learned with all the rest of us, bless queen Stacys soul.
