offense to Brendon." We laughed again God I really hope my parents choose him.

After about an hour there really wasn't much to talk about. I broke the silence by asking," Are there any movies we can watch on this flight?" Brandon answered by getting up and walking towards a bookshelf I hadn't noticed. I looked at all the movies in awe," O MY GOD my parents have every monster movie I've ever seen and more. Ooooh can we watch “Interview With a Vampire”?" A huge smile came across his lips," I can't believe it. Is there anything we don't have in common. I have never heard of a girl who likes that movie so of course we can watch it." I follow him to the TV and thought of how weird this all was, how weird he is. At that moment of weirdness I prayed he would be chosen.
Meeting My Family

It was around midnight when I was awoken by Brandon shaking me. "What?", I asked sleepily." I thought you might want to know that we are here." I immediately woke up to see the jet landing by a huge castle, no wait it can't be a castle it's way too big I'm gonna make a new word for it. Ok we had landed next to heaven, yeah that sounds right. As soon as we got off the jet I knew I was home. I then realized we were being watched so I turned around only to be face to chest with a really buff man. I then ask kind of cruelly," Who the heck is this?" My response was the man laughing and hugging me. "No seriously who is this dude hugging me." The man just laughed harder and I got angrier. He finally introduced himself," Sorry I just haven't seen you in so many years. I'm your father."

"OMG! I can't believe I'm meeting you for the first time.” was Sonya's response. I laughed at her cruel attempt to be happy about this," Sonya I think it's fine to miss our foster parents." "Tonya be quiet. At least I try." Our father stepped into this argument, big mistake," Sonya what do you mean by ' at least I try'?”” Oh, what I mean is that with every foster home we go to she ruins it by not even trying." “Tonya is this true?" "Oh my gosh yes ok I didn't try. For good reason though." Sonya replies sarcastically," And what would be that reason Tonya?" "The reason, Sonya, is that I didn't want to get attached knowing that our parents would one day want us back." "We never wanted to leave you,” said someone new to the conversation walking up to our dad.

I looked at this stranger in awe, it didn’t take me long to realize this beautiful woman was my mother. She had long curly black hair and blue eyes. I ran up and hugged her so tight that if she were a doll her eyes would have popped out. She laughed when I finally let go, “It’s good to see you too, and I’m guessing you are Tonya.” “Yeah, I’m Tonya. I always knew you guys would come back for us,” at this point I was almost crying.

The Announcement

After that we all walked inside the castle, our parents gave us both our own rooms and let us rest until dinner. I decided to take a nap in my giant king sized bed (no pun intended). I was awoken around 5p.m., to someone knocking on my door,” Come in!” An old looking man walks into my room holding a black and white gown,” Mrs. Tonya this is the dress you will wear to tonight’s dinner. I suggest you get ready, dinner will be done in ten minutes.” I thank him and he walked out.

Ten minutes later I walked into the dining room only to be greeted by almost twenty people. My mother walks up to me and I ask,” Mom who are all of these people?” “Honey these are your family and the people of your kingdom.” I look at her and say,” My kingdom?” “Sweetie everything will be clear soon.” She then brought me to the end of the table near Dad ,her ,Brandon ,Brendon , and Sonya. Once we all had drinks my father stood,” Let’s drink a toast to the return of my two beautiful daughters.” Everyone cheered and smiled towards Sonya and I. My father cleared his throat,” I would like to make an announcement. My wife and I have found our replacement king and queen. They will be my daughter Tonya and prince Brandon. May they be great rulers.” I looked at Brandon who was beaming, he stood and said,” Your daughter and I will not disgrace you in our kingdom’s time of need!” My mother than stood and said,” King and Queen Nightmare, our sister kingdom, have also found replacements. They will be prince Brendon and my daughter Sonya. May your kingdom be happy and prosperous.” After that the servants brought in a huge feast and we all talked.

After the feast Brandon and I were brought to our own room,” Tonya I hope you aren’t disappointed that I will be ruling by your side.” “Brandon I’m happy it’s you and me, as long as you don’t get in my way I’ll be fine with you.” He chuckled and walked towards a huge wardrobe,” That makes two of us. Our wedding is in two months in-between that we will be learning how to be great rulers and a lot of other boring stuff.” I walk to the wardrobe to get out my night clothes and went to take a bath.

Preparing For The Wedding

Those two months passed in a blur, I had classes every day to learn how to be a good queen. After classes I would go to dress fittings and meet up with Brandon to look over wedding plans. Every day was the same and Brandon noticed my boredom,” Hey I know how bored you feel but this stuff is important.” I smiled,” I know it is but I’d like a change of my schedule for once.” He smiled,” We have two days left, I think you can live.” Wow two days, I’m only eighteen this is too much. The last thing I wanted to do was freak out at the wedding and leave Brandon standing hurt, and alone at the altar.

It was now one day till the wedding and I was sent to stay with my sister in our sister kingdom. I was happy to see my sister for once and to also be out of those classes. We didn’t have to do anything so we just talked all day. “ Sonya, do you really love Brendon?” She looked at me shocked for a moment,” Truthfully, no. I’m frightened by this wedding and I actually want out. Do you love Brandon?” I smiled,” Yeah actually I do. I know it sounds cheesy but I think it was love at first sight.” Sonya laughed,” Do you love him or is he just a rebound from Tyler?” Shaking my head I say,” No he is not a rebound. Sonya I truly love Brandon with all of my heart, and I am hurt that you would think otherwise.” She shrugged not affected,” I’m just saying you went straight from Tyler to Brandon. It just seems like a practical rebound.” After that I stormed off to my room and thought, a lot.

Sonya and I met about an hour later for our final dress fitting. My dress was long, elegant and beautiful. It was mostly white except for the flares of red here and there, it was sleeveless and didn’t have a train. Sonya’s dress was like mine except it was fully red and had a long train. We admired each other in the mirror and smiled. Everything was done, all that was left was the wedding.

The Wedding Day

Everything was crazy when I returned to the palace, people were running all over the place with decorations. My mother grabbed my arm and brought me to a dressing room,” Tonya here is your dress. Some people will be here in a moment to help prepare you.” She was about to leave when I stopped her,” Mom I’m frightened, I don’t think I am ready for this.” Looking in my eyes she gave me a broken smile,” Honey you may feel like you aren’t ready but you are. Everything will be okay and I will stay here with you it helps.” I nodded and smiled at her,” I’d love for you to stay with me, were you this scared on your wedding day?” Nodding she replied,” I was even more scared because it was also the first day I met your father. I will be right back I
