Mike was not like your average prince. He was not allowed to go out without guards with him. He just wanted to play ball. One time, he was playing ball with his friends, but when the ball came at him from the pitcher on the mound one of the guards, who did not understand the rules, thought the kid on the mound was trying to kill the prince. Then, the boys heard a noise deep in the forest. They could hear someone yelling after each bounce of a ball and they went to investigate. They found an opening in the stone wall that was covered with vines and they saw a young girl (me) walk by. Two of the boys pushed Mike out of the vines. They wanted to see her reaction. Upon, seeing him out of the corner of my eye, turned around, ran to Mike, and hugged him. He then turned to his friends and said, "It's OK guys. This is my sister Roseanna."
"But I prefer to be called Rosie," I interjected. I curtsied to Mike's friends.
"I was just going to say that," Mike said.
"You paused so I spoke."
One of the guys said, "That's your SISTER?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? Why did you NOT tell us?"
Mike replied, "Sorry guys I had to go home right after I met her because dad wanted me. Trust me i wanted to but..."
"WHO ARE YOU TO BRING YOUR DAD INTO THIS CONVERSATION!!!!"
I yelled, "HOW DARE YOU TALK BAD ABOUT THE KING. WHO ARE YOU TO YELL AT A PRINCE you insolent peasant."
"Rosie!!!" said Mike.
"No Mike, I want to put this peasant in his place," I hissed. "I simply wish to inform your friends here that you are a Prince in high standing and even though you treat them as equals they must still realize their status is that of a simple commoner. Am I wrong?"
"No, but I pretended to be a peasant, so they kinda didn't know that I am royalty."
"That would explain the lack of guards, but still you are a prince and they are not."
As if on cue three guards came into view. Having heard everything they bowed to Mike and me then growled at the peasant boys.
"But they DO follow me to the games."
"Augh you are such an ignorant boy! I can't believe you are next. I should have been born first."
"Wait, let me get this straight. You wish you would have been born before me?"
"Yes, were you not paying attention?"
"I was, but you could have been."
"What do you mean?"
*"You could have everything you ever wanted- a family who loves you..."*
While this conservation was going on the others who were trying to listen in were not hearing English. Mike and Rosie were in fact speaking the royal language (Loran) proving that they were royalty.
*(Yrgf ddhaa ahev egeryhtin yrgf enrv vnated- a comta hgf dova yrgf...is what they heard)*
T-t-that's all folks!
