We've been panning our party for the past few days and almost everything is perfect! I think Ashley and I are in good terms now and she's put a lot of her problems behind her. I think it's good!

I look down at my dress smiling. It's a dark green colour that fades to white at the ends. It's truly beautiful! I don't know how Penny makes these dresses!

I look in the mirror quickly smiling at my reflection.

When I first entered the selection I thought I would be changed and if I ever made it this far I wouldn't be able to recognize myself. That's what I was afraid of. Now I know I just have to be myself. I've been through a lot.

As I turn towards the door I wave to my maid. I walk down the marble stairs leading to the ballroom where the King and Queen of Spain's welcoming party is going to be held.

I know it's going to be great because Dawn and Eve were in charge of it and it's all the maids and guards around the castle have been talking about!

As I arrive at the big wooden doors a guard pushes it open for me and I'm taken into the world of classy black and white themes.

It's truly beautiful! All the tables are covers in black table cloths with white plates and silverware. The chairs are covered with matching covers and there's a checkered dance floor in the middle. Off by the side long tables of food and refreshments stand untouched except for the occasional guest who walks up.

Most of the guests are dancing on the dance floor as graceful music plays and a lot of guests are sitting down visiting.

"Ivy your here!" Dawn says excitedly grabbing my elbow and walking with me.

"I'm here," I say grinning at Dawn'a giddiness.

"Although your late I would still like to welcome you to the King and Queen of Spain's welcome party! What do you think?" Dawn asks happily.

"I think it's truly beautiful," I say honestly.

"Oh goody!" She says as Peince Zachary walks up to us.

"You don't mind if I steal Lady Ivy here away from you, do you?" He asks politely.

"Not at all!" Dawn says backing away slowly and giving me the thumbs up before running off to welcome other guests.

"It's lovely to see you talking again Ivy! Would you do me this dance?" Prince Zach asks smiling as a slow song comes on.

"I would love too!" I exclaim as he leads me to the dance floor. As I look into his eyes I try and hide my blush, but I fail terribly.

"Is my dear girl blushing?" Zach asks jokingly.

"No!" I say in denial.

"I'm sure I saw it!" He says grinning.

"You did not!" I say pushing him lightly in the arm.

"Ouch! That hurt!" He says grabbing his arm as if he's in pain.

"Your such a wimp," I say laughing.

"Oh really? I'm a wimp?" He says not believing it for a second.

"Yep," I say trying to hold back my laughter.

"Well then, I guess you'll just have to come with me then," he says pulling me  into the hallway leading out of the ballroom.

"Where are we going?" I ask giggling.

"It's a surprise!" He says pulling me into a door on the left that I've never been into before.

It's a very small room and it takes me a moment, but it's designed like a hideout under the stairs that go up to the second floor. As I look around I start to laugh uncontrollably.

"Your a Harry Potter fan?" I ask not believing it myself even though the room is designed just like Harry Potter's room under the stairs as a reading nook. As I look at the walls I see sayings, phrases and posters from Harry Potter.

"What's wrong with Harry Potter?" He asks sounding slightly offended.

"Nothing, I actually love Harry Potter. I just never expected this," I say not believing my eyes.

As I turn back to Prince Zach I realize how close he is to me and the next thing I know he's kissing me and I'm kissing him back.

It's goes on like that for a few minutes before he puts his mouth near my ear and whispers, "still think I'm a wimp?"

As I turn back to answer him he's already gone and I'm stuck thinking about that kiss and what it meant.
