I walked over to Alina's house with her dress in my hand and jeez, it was a really long blue dress  and I was afraid that it might get dirty and at the same time I was afraid mine would get dirty too. While walking over to her house, I slipped and fell in the mud and both of our dresses got super dirty but then, I started to float off the ground slowly and the mud left both of our dresses and landed my safely in a clean area. 

"Wait. What? How did.. You know what? I'm not even gonna ask and walk away slowly in these terrible heels to my best friend's house. Calmly."

I arrived at my best friend's house with the dress as if nothing happened to it and I started to knock fiercely on the door till Alina came and answered:

"Whoa, Rose. What are you wearing?"

"Here. Wear this because we're going to the Galla"

"How did you even get this?"

"No, shush shush shush. Go change and put.. this.. make up thing or whatever."

"Oh you're putting make up too and a little bit of jewelry."

"What no."

Alina dragged me with her up into her room and gave me jewelry to put on while she changed. The jewelry box had two necklaces, one of them was in the shape of a butterfly and the other one had a shape of a heart and I chose the butterfly one, it also had a pair of ear rings and a golden hair clip. The ear ring was the shape of a glowing rose and the hair clip was a normal one except that I'd guess it was made of pure gold. Soon, Aline came out stunningly beautiful with her blue dress (Picture to the side) and she started to spray me with perfume and put on her jewelry.

"Ew, stop. I don't like perfume."

"We have the look, we have the jewelry and now we need the smell.. which we have now."

"Hey Alina, who's jewelry is this?" I asked her that question but then I wished that I've never asked it..

"Oh. Um. It's my mother's jewelry.. it was the only thing she left me before she died from illness. She told me to keep good care of them and I never wore them but I guess tonight would be the tonight for them." She said with a smile on her face and trying not to cry. "Well, come on. We better hurry so we won't miss the grande opening." and I responded with a smile. 

"Hey Alina.. before we go, I need to tell you something."

"Sure, anything. Go ahead."

"Whatever happens, I need to stay away from the prince. No matter what."

"I have an idea, wear a mask."

"This is not a masquerade."

"Well, if you don't want him to spot you.. you'll have to wear it. Even though I don't get why you don't want him to meet you but I have the perfect mask."

Alina went up to her room, grabbed a mask and came back down. The mask was two sided, it had a silver side and a pink side with a butterfly clip on the top (picture to the side) "Alina, you have everything." We both chuckled and set off to the Galla on a carriage and we soon arrived at the fancy decorated castle with fountains at the entrance and glowing lights (picture to the side)

"Wow." Me and Alina said in one voice.

"This is.."

"Amazing."

Seeing the royal castle simply amazed me and knowing that I maybe royal blood scared me.. and what gave me bad ideas is that I deny talking to my parents about it because I'm afraid they may just ditch me but all that didn't matter right now. I wanted to have good time with my best friend because the night is ours. Walking towards to the entrance, we found two big guards blocking the way as they said they 'wanted' the party invitations.

"Miss, where is your invitation?" Guard #1 said.

"Invitation..?"

"Uh, Rose? Don't you have them?"

"I do, I guess.. Yea. Uhm, give me a.. second." 

I started to act as if I'm looking for them, I literally looked everywhere in my dress till I can figure out something. After 5 minutes of continuous search, something magical happened; the invitations appeared in out of no where and they had our names on it. "Guards, here are your invitations. Now excuse us while we enter." I said in a sassy voice and flipped my hair in their faces which was kind of funny.

"You scared me there!" 

"I'm sorry Alina! I forgot where I've put them!"

-You're welcome- A voice in my head whispered to me and I shook my head in surprise then smirked.

We soon entered the castle where all royal and rich people were at, while we were just disguising which somehow made me uncomfortable but nothing could bother me at the moment.

"It's really weird that I'm the only one with a mask right now."

"Hey, either that or he'll see you. Could you explain to me now?"

"OK so I met the 'Prince' on my way home. He was hiding from his beloved fan club" I said sarcastically

"You met the prince?!" Alina said in a squeaky voice

"Shush! Do you want anyone to hear us?"

"It's time to dance!" A loud voice spoke in the hallway and a cute guy asked Alina for a dance, I told her to go as I didn't really mind and I went outside of the castle till the dance finished. 

"It's a beautiful night, isn't it?"

"Huh?' I said turning around and I saw the Prince.

"Why aren't you dancing? Don't you have a date?"

I shook my head saying no.

"Do you speak?" He said titling his head with a confused look on his face.

I shook my head saying yes this time.

"Then speak."

I moved my lips saying I'm too shy.

"I don't bite. Please let me have this dance with you."

and I shook my head saying no again but then he took my hand and grabbed me towards him, wrapped his arms around my waist and our hands met. It was the most amazing moment I've ever felt in my life and I didn't wanna snap out of it even though I should. We danced and danced and danced till Roseguard interrupted.

-Roseheart let go.-

-Roseheart let go, now!-

-Roseheart let go, now! NOW I SAY!"

I stopped dancing with him and moved my lips saying 'sorry' and then entered the castle again. When I did, the dance have ended and I started to look for Alina and I found her chit-chatting with the guy who she was dancing with.

"Hi, um. I'll borrow for a few."

"What now, Rose? I was having the most romantic moment ever!"

"I danced with the Prince outside. We have to leave."

"But.."

"Now, please!"

"Bring in the entertainment"  The King's voice echoed in the hallway as he ordered his men to bring in the 'entetainment'. I thought the entertainment would be a clown or something but it was a Troll. A giant being tortured for the King's entertainment. They were whipping him to dance for them but the giant refused and they whipped him more and more till he collapsed on the ground but all I can see was people laughing at it and I couldn't stand this.

"Enough!" I shouted out loud 

"Who dares to interrupt my entertainment?"

"I do."

"I know this voice.."

"This is not entertainment, this is torture! If this is your idea for entertainment, then you're wrong."

"Guards! Prison her! I want her dead or alive.. give me her head!"
