The good old days

                                    

                                          
In the past
(5 year old Mari) 
                          
I was running through the castle garden trying to get away from someone or more like someone's 
                          
"I'm going to get you Mari"
                          
"No your not. I'm gonna wun as fast as possible" I yelled back 
                          
You see I'm running away from my 3 best friends. Carson, who has blonde hair and blue eyes. He is a bit taller then me.Next we have Lane, shes korean, but they moved here because of her dads job. She has short black hair and dark brown eyes. She also wears glasses. She is the youngest of all of us since her brithday is after all of ours, me and Lane are the same height. Then finally we have James. He is older then all of us since he is 6. He is like the protective older brother to all of us specially Lane. He has short brown hair with green eyes. He is also taller than everyone. We were playing hide and seek tag. Carson was the seeker, he found Lane first, then he found James. Now he was after me, he found my hiding spot but I got away in time so I ran, now they are all chasing me to try and tag me. I turned the corner but I guess I went to fast and fell down. Carson fell on me, and then Lane and James followed. We all laughed our heads off
                          
"Got you Mari" Carson said 
                          
"Yeah yeah you got me car" I said while sitting up. We all sat in a circle
                          
"Hey we should have nicknames for each other, so that way we can talk about each other but our parents won't know who we are talking to" Lane said 
                          
"That's a great idea, but how will we choose" James asked 
                          
"How about this Mari what's your favorite flower" Carson asked 
                          
"Ummm.... I like bluebells" 
                          
"Ok what about your favorite Berry" Carson asked  
                          
"That's easy blueberrys"
                          
"Then it's settle your new name is Bluebell blueberry" James said 
                          
"I like it, ok so what about you guys" I yelled exited 
                          
"James your favourite animal" Lane asked
                          
"Mmm... Fox" James said while tapping his chin
                          
"Ok now your favorite game" I asked
                          
"Mm.dont really have one but I have watched my older brother play fable and it looks cool, so that one"
                          
"Your new name is fox fable now" Carson said 
                          
"Sounds cool, ok Lane your turn" James said
                          
"Ok favorite band" Carson asked
                          
"Metallica" Lane said proudly 
                          
"Ok one animal that you don't like" James asked 
                          
"Mice, those things are creepy" 
                          
"Awesome your new name is Metallica mice" I said. Have to Amit it was a cool name
                          
"Ok time for Carson to get a name" Lane said 
                          
"Mmm.. Favorite mythical animal" I asked 
                          
"Dragons"
                          
"K favorite time of day" James asked 
                          
"Dusk" Carson said 
                          
"K your new name is dragon dusk" Lane said 
                          
Those were the names that we called each other from now on. The only time we actually used our real names was if we were talking to other people or at a big party thing. Oh did I forget to say that I'm the princess of China, well I am. Lane, James, and Carson aren't princess or princes. I actually meet them in school, my parents decided to have me go to regular preschool so that I would meet people. At first they didn't know I was the princess until we had a play date at my palace, they said they wouldn't tell and they haven't even though we are only 5 and 6.
                          
(15 year old Mari) 
                          
Me and the gang have been through a lot, Carson lost his aunt. Lanes parents seperated, I lost my grandma, James is really the only one that didn't have something bad happen to him,but we are still really close, we are by each other sides like super glue was holding us. Sure we all went to public school but us 4 mostly hung out together with no one else. We all got matching bracelets with our nicknames on them. To be honest I've had a crush on Carson for while. I can tell that Lane and James like each other to, none of us want to say anything incase it ruins our friendship. We were all walking to my place to hang out after school like we usually do. We were all laughing when we walked in to the main part of the palace. That is until we saw luggage and lots of it
                          
"Hey guys, go and head up to Marinettes room I need to talk to her alone" Mom said 
                          
All of my friends headed up to room after giving me a pat on the back
                          
"What's going on mom" I asked after I couldn't see my friends anymore 
                          
"Honey, hear us out before you flip out ok. So there is someone out to steal your place in being crowned and they have threatened to kill you, so for your safety, you are moving to pairs" 
                          
I just stood there in shock. I can't move what about my friends, family and school. And to Paris that is so far away. Will I be able to talk to my friends after we leave
                          
"PARIS!!! we can't move, I don't want to leave grandpa, or aunts and uncles and what about my friends I can't leave them. Will I even be able to talk to them. What about China how will it be ok if we all move to pairs you guys are the queen and king" I yelled 
                          
My mom just sighed and put her hands on my shoulders
                          
"Honey only you will be moving to Paris for your own safety, me and your dad will be staying here. You have the choice of living with your God-father, or you can go live with your cousin Bridgette, it's your choice. Yes you can still talk to your friends you just can't say anything about you being a princess, other than that you can video chat all the time. You will be going to school there, all of your records have already been sent over, you already know the language so you will be fine. I'm sorry honey but you have no choice of you move or not, this is for your own safety" Mom said

Seeing as I knew there was no way getting out of this I hung my head so my mom couldn't see my tears
                          
"I'll live with Bridgette, how much time do I have before I move" I asked quietly
                          
"Ok sounds good, you have two day before you leave, since it's the weekend your friends can spend the night" 
                          
I only nod as I go to my room, when I walked into my room Carson and James were on my bed, Lane was in my hanging chair. Tikki was sleeping next to Carson on the bed, oh god am I allowed to take my cat with me. My friends looked up at me and that's when the dam gate gave way. I started to sob. My friends were by my side hugging me in a instant as I just sobbed 
                          
"What wrong bluebell blueberry" Carson asked 
                          
"I.... I ha... Have to move.... To... Paris" 
I finally chocked out
