1792 A.D.

IT WAS A WINDY DAY.

            Twins Elizibeth and Ruby Adamson were walking down the shortest street in their neighborhood. They were ten houses from their house and they were convinced nothing would happen to them.

            Both girls had long hair. Ruby had black while Elizibeth had blonde. They always wore rags because their parents were dirt poor and the girls had to make their own clothes. Their one wish was that their parents get more money so they could get some what decent clothes and so they would finally stop working as slaves for rich people.

            They had no idea that their lives and everything about them was about to change forever.

            As the twins walked, a storm started to brew above them.

"We should hurry up and get home," Elizibeth said.

            Just as she said that, a bolt of lightning shot down from the sky and hit both of the twins. Then they both collapsed.

            When they woke up they were in a forrest.

"Wh-what happened?" Elizibeth asked.

            "I'm not sure. All I remember is being struck by lightning and then passing out," Ruby replied.

            "Never mind that," Elizibeth said. "Now that I've thought about, I don't really care how we got here. Whats really important is that we find a way out of here. Wherever 'here' is."

            Just then the girls heard the sound of a horse walking toward them. "What are you two ladies doing in the depths of the forest ?" a mans voice asked.

            Elizibeth and Ruby slowly turned to where the voice was coming from. What they saw was, in their perspective, the most beautiful man to ever walk the earth, or wherever they were now.

            Ruby wnt up to the man and curtsied. "Who are you, sir. I am Ruby and this is my twin Elizibeth."

            The man looked startled. "Wait, you don't know who I am?" he said.

Elizibeth and Ruby looked at him confused.

The man jumped of his horse. "I am Prince Edward. Heir to the throne of Dreamland."

"Really!" Elizibeth said as she curtsied. "Your Majesty."

The prince looked disgusted. "Please never do that again."

            The twins looked puzzled. "Why?"

"Because it's annoying. Everyday people come up to me and say, 'Would you like a chair, Your Majesty?' and 'Would you like some food, Your Majesty?' and 'Would you like me to feed you, Your Majesty?'"

            "Wow, and I thought I had it bad," Elizibeth said.

            "Yep, call me Edward," Edward told the twins.

            "So Edaward, what were you doing out in the woods, you know, being a prince and all?"

            "Oh, nothin' much. Just doing some hunting," Edward answered. "What were you doing?"

            "Well Eddie, can I call you Eddie?" Ruby asked.

"No."

            "Well Eddie, we were walking down a street in the real world when we were struck by lightning and were brought here." Ruby explained. "Does that seem weird?"

            "Huh? No! Typical thing anround here! Happens everyday!" the prince joked.

"Really!"

            Edward smacked himself on the head. "Of course not! Have you ever heard of sarcasem?"

"No."

"Whatever," Edward said as he got back on his horse. "Jump on, I'll take you to the palace."

The twins looked stuned. A real palace!

Elizibeth and Ruby got on the horse. Soon the three friends could see the palace in the distance.

"We're almost there!" Edward said.

"I'm so excited to be in an actual palce!" Ruby exclaimed.

"We're not their yet Ruby. We could still die now and never see the palace," Elizibeth said.

Edward chuckled. "The palace actually gets boring after a while," he said. "Sometimes I get lost even though I have lived there my whole life!"

They got off the horse and walked up to the palace doors. Elizibeth and Ruby were astonished at how beautiful the outside was.

"This place is really nice," Ruby said.

"Yeah. Just wait 'till you see the inside," Edward said.

As they got closer, they started passing gaurds. A lot of them nodded and Prince Edward and gave the twins funny looks. One guard said, "Good morning, Your Majesty." And Edward rolled his eyes in disgust.

"This is what I meant when I said that everyone calls me 'Your Majesty,'" he said.

But the girls weren't paying attention. They were too busy imagining their lifes if they were princesses.

They wouldn't have to be slaves. They woudn't have to do any of the work. They would get luxurious meals. They would wear beautiful gowns. It was everyting the twins always wanted.

"We're here," Edward said, bringing the twins back to reality. "Welcome to my home."

With that, he opened the doors.
