As the bright rays shone through the skylight, waking me up to a new Paris morning, I felt both excited and apprehensive. I breathed in the Paris air. The fresh smell of baguettes made my stomach grumble.

Last night had been weird, to say the least. Parading about like royalty, being introduced to a bunch of strangers, all while wearing a tiara. Bizarre. My evening with Luna had obviously been slightly different from the one that Simla and Justin had spent with Madison and Olivier. That was evident from the gear they were both wearing when they arrived at the reception. Justin had been less than forthcoming about what they’d been through. All he’d said was that he’d gone and worked out! That explained the gear. Anyway, it was time to find out exactly what they’d been up to.

I got up and wrapped myself in the oversized white terry bathrobe hanging on the hook in the bathroom and walked over and banged on Justin’s door. There was no reply, so I opened it and peered inside. He was clearly gone, his bed neatly made. I found the situation to be the same in Simla’s room. She was gone as well. I walked into her room and checked her wardrobe. It was full of clothes; I hoped that they were coming back. I had to know what was going on with them. So, for now, I was alone in this big apartment. I went over to the kitchen and gulped down some cereal–even though a basket of fresh, warm baguette slices had been left out–before I went back to my room to get dressed. Since I had no idea what the day would bring, I’d no idea what to wear. Was I expected to do the royal thing again?

I walked into a tidied bedroom. The bed had been made up, the heavy auburn velvet coverlet neatly covered the mattress again. The pillows had been plumped and placed neatly against the headboard. My conundrum about what to wear was instantly dissipated when I saw the selected outfit carefully placed on the bed for me. I jumped into the space-age shower and lingered there for a while, enjoying the warm spray of water against my skin. When I finally decided to end my water relaxation time, I wrapped myself in a thick, warmed towel and went back into the bedroom to get dressed. The clothes were simple–a pair of black yoga pants, a plain red t-shirt and a black zip-top hoodie. I put them on and stepped into the black MTBs waiting for me by the door. A workout day? That would suit me just fine. Hopefully I’d run into Simla and Justin at some point.

The door to my bedroom opened and Luna peeked in. “May I come in, Your Highness?”

“Luna, you promised to call me Arizona in private. Remember? And yeah, come on in,” I said, plunking myself on the bed. “So, what are we doing today? Any chance I can go home now?”

“I have an exciting day planned for you.
