Willow glared at the canopy of her royal bed and sighed. Being the princess of an entire race was hard work and she missed her friends. Especially Lloyd. 

The two had barely started dating when Willow had been called away. It had broken her heart, but her people needed her. Leaving the team had hurt her too, but she missed Lloyd the most. 

"Princess Willow, is something wrong?" a servant asked. 

"Nothing," Willow lied. As much as she wished to tell someone about her problems, she wished she could tell them to Hope. 

Hope was Willow's best friend. At first, the pair didn't like each other but after Hope reached her true potential, they became good friends. Hope could listen for hours on end and still give advise that wasn't a riddle. 

"Princess Willow, Eric is here to see you," a guard said through the open door.

"Let him in," Willow said, standing and brushing off her dress.

"Princess, now that we have most of the invitations ready, would you like to invite your friends?" Eric asked.

 "Of course I would!" She shouted.

"Good. I will send the invitations immediately," Eric said and left the room. The maid followed him, leaving Willow along.

She would be seeing her friends! This was one of the best days in Willow's life! Right up there with her and Lloyd first kiss. 

Willow flopped down on her bed and giggled at the thought if seeing her boyfriend after a year away. She fell asleep like that and her dreams were filled with her favorite emerald green eyes.
