Ash got home to see her father's house very loud! her friends crashed in the basement, and her father didn't look to happy about the loud music! She went downstairs to find Beth in a little makeout session! She could hardly believe the shy girl in the group was sitting there making out with some guy! Ashee was just talking to Ali, goofing off like they normally do, and Katie wasn't there. "Where's Katie?", Ash asked. "Um, she never showed up! She and Alistar went to do something, I assume." "Oh lord, if we lose Katie, I'll never be able to bring you guys here again!" "Chill!", Beth said, taking a breath from her snog session. "She told me she wanted to get something to eat in the cafe across the street." "Oh, just make sure she is back and alright, or this may be my last trip to England!" Beth didn't hear her, she got into the snog session again. "Ok, I've been invited to the palace for dinner. I'm sorry that I can't invite you! Just ask my dad for a few pounds, go shopping, and be back by 11 sharp!" "Ah yeah! Harrods! Here comes Alllliiiiii!!" "Hey Ash, have a great time!", Ashee said. "Thanks, I hope I will!" Ash bounced up the stairs to change and do her hair.
As the cab pulled up to Buckingham Palace, Ash started to get some major butterflies in her stomach. It was so bad, it almost hurt to walk. Oh man, she was in a lot of pain! Well, she knew she had to settle down, she didn't want to alarm the rest of the family. Well, William will help her through it. She had to enter an access code and a way to verify her id before she could even go through the palace doors! Then when she did, she had to do a major security check. She got majorly mad about that, but she knew security was tight, so she just kind of overlooked it. She came upon a huge staircase, and she saw the man of the night, William. He was dress in a tux, and Ash saw him, and imediately blushed. William looked at her and started blushing himself! She knew from then on the night would go perfectly fine. "Well, my lady, I'll escourt you to the dining area." "Why, thank you kind gentleman!" , Ash said immitating his tone of voice. William just started laughing.
William and Ash walked into the ballroom. The room was as big as her house in the states! She was completely shocked. "Hello, Ash", Harry said. Ash still was upset about the way he had acted before. "Why, hello Harry! Were's your date?" "Why, she's right her." Harry pointed to the girl about 3 feet away from her and was shocked. "Ashee?! What are you doing here?", Ash said in total shock. "Harry invited me to come.", Ashee said. "Um, Ashee, could I see you in the ladies room?" "Sure." Then Ash and Ashee were off. William turned to his brother, "I think I'm really falling for her, Harry." "How splendid", Harry said coldly. William knew that Harry really like Laura as a friend, and she was crushed when William broke it off with her. "Harry, please give her a chance. I really think she's the one!" "Isn't that what you said about Laura? Laura was sweet and she didn't do anything to you, and you just left her like the snap of a finger. How dumb of a bloke are you?" "Harry, for the last time, she wasn't my type! She was quiet and when she talked to me or anyone she was extremely rude!", William's voice raised. "Listen, this isn't the time to discuss this. I have feelings for Ash now, please accept it." "Fine then, dear brother.", Harry snapped again and immediately left the room, with an evil grin on his face.
Ash went to the bathroom with Ashee and didn't know what the deal was. Ashee was acting very odd, and Ash couldn't seem to figure out why. "Ashee, what's wrong? Why are you acting so odd?", Ash questioned. "It's nothing, really." "Then why did you tell me to come in here?" "I just thought Wills and Harry could us some time to talk...", Ashee said. "Girl, you're not giving me details. Why would they need to talk?" "It's about William's ex, Laura. It turns out she's really tight with Harry, and is crushed because of William dumping her." "That's it. I'm having a talk with Harry." Ash stormed out of the restroom, not knowing what was really going on in Ashee's mind. "Harry, could I have a talk with you?", Ash asked. "Um, sure." Harry and Ash went into another room. "Look, I know about Laura and how great a friend she was to you. Please don't take it out on me. I figured out that's why you've been acting very cold towards me since the minute I met you." Harry didn't have much to say except, "You should be sorry. My Laura is crushed, and now you're making her life more hell."
