Mairin's POV:
I walked over to the girls after they finished and the crowd cleared up.

"20 dollars and 18 cents!"
The honey-colored hair girl exclaimed.
"That's the highest we've ever gotten this week!" The other girl exclaimed.

"Wow guys, that was amazing!!" I clapped my hands. "Gee thanks!" The girls blushed.

"Say, I haven't seen you around..." The girl with brown hair studied my face. "Mal! Give her space! She's probably new" The honey-colored girl said.

"Uhhhh....I actually live here, I just never been outside.." My voice trailed off. "Never?!?" The girls said, shocked.

I shook my head and told the girls everything about my life....

"That's terrible...." The girl who went by 'Mal' covered her mouth. "How do you survive?!" The honey-colored girl asked. I shrugged my shoulders "Probably cause my brother" I said and told them everything about Steven...

"THE HOENN CHAMPION IS YOUR BROTHER?!?!" The girls yelled. I nodded.

"I should introduce myself, I'm Serena Yvoone, and this is my little sister, Mal" Serena said and Mal waved shyly.

"Nice to meet you! I'm Mairin!" I said "What a beautiful name...." A voice said. All of us looked over. I know that face anywhere.....

Prince Alain Jackson.........

"Alain!" The girls said and hugged him. My jaw dropped open. "You're the.....the A-Aal-ain the Alain Jackson!!!" I shrieked. "Sssssshhhhhh!" He covered my mouth "I don't want anyone to know!" I blushed. "I'm sorry!" I said.

He sighed "It's alright."

"Alain is our cousin" Mal said. Serena nodded.

"SERIOUSLY?!?!" I gasped "Yup" they all said. "I'm. So. Jelous!" I said. "Everybody is!" Mal put her hands on her hips. "SERIOUSLY" Serena and Alain shouted.

"So why are you even down here anyways, Prince Alain?" I kinda blushed when I said his name.

"Okay 1. Don't call me prince Alain just say Alain! 2. I'm upset and when I'm upset or stressed I walk around the village" Alain explained.

"He's mad because he's forced to marry someone he doesn't want to...." Serena said. "That's stupid!" I said. Alain sighed "At least 4 of you agree..."

"Who's the fourth?" Mal asked. "My little sister Lily. She thinks it's wrong for people to be forced to be married." Alain explained. "She's got a point" I said. Alain nodded.

"How old is she?" I asked "17" Alain mumbled. "Wow. A year younger than me" I said. "You're 18" Alain's cheeks turned a little pink. "Yep. I'll be 19 next week" I said. "Oh, cool, I'm 20. I just turned actually." Alain said. "Yeah, I know" I answered.

"You should invite Mairin to the ball!" Mal suggested. "The whole village is coming, remember?" Alain groaned. "Oh, oops...." Mal crossed her arms.

"I might not be able to go...." I teared up, but I didn't let them out.

"Why?" Alain asked. I took a deep breath and told him everything.

"I'm so sorry!" He hugged me. I blushed. I-I-Is t-the P-Prince hugging.....me?!?!

I blushed and looked at the watch Steven gave to me, on my 11th birthday.

5:39

OH *BEEP* I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE HOME AT 5:00!!!!!!!

"I-I-I've Gotta go home!" I quickly said and ran away. "WAIT!!!" Alain called but I was already gone.

~~~~~~~~~~

Alain's POV:
It was time for me to go anyways. Dinner started at 6:00 and Britt is gonna be there too. =_=

"I gotta go, don't wanna be late for dinner. With you-know-who...." I whispered the last part.

My cousins shuttered. "Good luck" they said. I nodded and walked away.

~~~~~~~~

"LILY!!!!!" I ran into her room. Of course she was singing in the mirror, with her brush as a microphone. "HEY LEARN TO KNOCK!!!!!!" She shouted. "Sorry...." I said. She sighed "So, what's up?" She asked.

"I meet this really beautiful, amazing, and awesome girl!" I said. "Really?!" Cool! Tell me everything!" Lily is the best!!

I told her everything Mairin have ever told me about herself......
