For any writers who are interested.... I have created an
Elimination Contest. I'd appreciate someone entering...
And now for more!
The week dragged on by, a blur of dinners in fancy dresses, hanging out in my room, walking through the palace gardens and courtyards, and attending to dress fittings.
Gulp.
I'd better remind you, J, as you've probably forgotten. It's my wedding tomorrow, and I'm extremely nervous. EXTREMELY.
The dress, what I've seen of it so far, is like crystal in dress-form, with flowers, 'lucky' four-leaf clovers, and a load of accessories so beautiful I can't describe them.
Dinner was two hours ago. It's dark now, and around ten o clock. But I can't sleep. I'm dreading tomorrow.
What am I going to do?
The preparations take all morning. Maids and tailors and others hurry around my room, trying to get me ready. First I bathe in a warm, honey-coloured liquid, and then I dry myself with the softest towel yet. When I come out, I'm dressed in transparent petticoats and socks and strung with beads and a heart ribbon and blue band adorn my hair. Then I'm told to close my eyes, and the dress is slipped on.
It's lightweight and soft, and when I open my eyes and glance in the mirror, I barley recognise the dog before me.

The dress is beautiful, like a rainbow. The accessories make a stunning effect.
I look perfect.
Tears prick my eyes as I remember what today is. I turn to the dressmaker, and put on my best smile.
It's beautiful! Thank you so much!Then Galaxy comes, takes my arm, and we proceed to the courtyard where the wedding is taking place. She's wearing a blue silk dress for the occasion, with white flowers adorning her hair.
You look beautiful.Thanks, Galaxy. Wish me luck!She turn to smile at me.
Good luck, Princess Lucky.As I exit the castle, I notice the cameras. My heart beats faster, and I blush furiously. Of course! I'm practically royalty now! There's bound to be people all over the world, their eyes fixed on me now.
The music starts, and I panic. Galaxy squeezes my hand reasuringly.
We'll do this together, she whispers. I nod.
Together.We walk slowly down the isle. Cindy, Kiya and Indy walk behind us. They look beautiful. People take their seats.
As I reach the alter, Cindy takes her place on Cody's side, and Indy and Kiya sit on mine. Galaxy steps back as I walk up onto the raised platform.
Cody is dressed in the royal robes they use for important ceremonies. As the person (not sure what they're called) drones on, he looks at me, and smiles.
You look beautiful. I blush even deeper.
Thank you.I do, Cody says suddenly, and the thingy turns to me, and asks the question.
I... I...I'm not sure what to say. This is so confusing! I'm only fifteen- ugh, fourteen- and so scared. But there's only one thing I can say as a nation leans towards their TV screens, waiting for an answer.
I do.
