Elegant orchestrated music played loudly throughout the long, wide ballroom. Guests from all over the kingdom, dressed either in flowy gowns or buttoned up suits. Lauren yawned for what seemed like the 4th time that evening, sitting in her throne next to her parents, as suitors came up to her and offered her birthday presents.

"Yes, yes, thank you. Just put that right with the others." She tells a suitor as he smiles at her with a nod and brings his rather large gift over to the gift table.

Her parents, the king and queen, planned this party just for her. Lauren appreciated the thought and love coming from the idea, but she wasn't really into big royal parties.

But as the good daughter she was, she stayed humble and assertive, letting her parents throw a royal ball for her yet again. The parties bored her however.

Same music played, same desserts served, same guests every year. In fact the guests, weren't even her personal friends.

Princess Lauren sighed but tries to keep her positive smile, as her parents look to her with happiness on their faces.

"Why don't you go and dance dear? There's a line of suitors waiting for you!" Her mother says happily. Lauren looks over to the line and sees a large number of young fellows her age waiting to get a waltz with the princess.

"O-oh, s-sure mum. Looks like fun." She says although feeling dead on the inside. She grabs the corners of her elegant blue and silver decaled dress, stepping down from the throne and going to the line of boys.

She sighs, not wanting to dance at all. Lauren freezes when she sees a familiar face pop out from behind the near door and smile at her.

Princess Lauren grins, knowing her chance to escape was now. She looks over to her parents and sighs in relief when they see them talking to each other in a serious conversation.

"Princess! Don't you wanna dance with me??" The suitor in front of her asks her with a proud and charming grin on his face.

"O-oh uh, in a few minutes sweetie, I have to freshen up in the ladies rest room! Yeah!" She says with a nervous smile and slips out, scurrying to the door that her friend, Mark was holding open for her.

"Thank God, I did not want to be stuck there for another who knows how many hours!!" She tells him as he chuckles and grabs her hand as they hurry quickly out of the castle.

"Hahaha you looked like you were dead on the inside!!" He jokes and she scoffs as they exit the castle interior and enter the castle exterior in the night of the castle gardens.

"Lets go down to the lake! If I hear one more string instrument I'm going to go crazy!"

"You sure that's a good idea princess? What if they start looking for ya?"

The princess shoots darts with her eyes at him and folds her arms, "You know well better than to call me that!! And you know my answer to that!"

The boy laughs, "Fine, fine haha I was joking anyways. C'mon down to the lake! We'll have your own birthday celebration!"
