A Ball for Her Highness (Serena)

[HALEY MARIE WILLIAMS]

Haley's Ball Outfit

The night was about to get more nervous and interesting, as Haley typed an invitation to a friend on her pink Mac Book sitting on her lap. After all, her family was European Royalty and socialites, so she had to make a good impression. Haley sighted as she looked down at her French manicure hands and just ran her hand through her hair. She stood up from her four post bed and looked at vanity mirror; she was in no condition of going to the Ball in her honor tonight. A Victory Secret’s Pink sweat pants covered her long pale legs and pink sport bra covered her upper body. Haley just sighted, she did not know how this night was going be but she hoped it would be fine. Haley smiled as she looked at her pictures from party and made mental note to upload them to her picture .account later on.

And the dress, she was wearing tonight, she had just arrived from Monaco, it was one of a kind made to Haley’s specifications. Haley walked to her closet and looked at her brand new dress still in its covers. She did not know now what shoes to wear; she had three closets full of shoes and she was being indecisive. Haley looked at her grey Marc Jacobson’s heels and they matched perfectly with her dress. She looked at the chat box, she had lost interested already, and she was not in the mood for drama. There was going enough drama tonight, she did not know what to expect from her blue-blooded family. All sort of questions ran through Haley mind, she just hoped she would be fine for tonight.

Letting big sight, she looked at the invitation and her dress once more. She smiled for moment and walking to her bathroom and just stripping out of her clothes. Feeling the warmth of water bubbles was relaxing, she just needed happy thoughts, everything was going be alright. After 20 minutes, she stepped out, her hair smelling like peaches and spring bloom and her body smelling like an expensive European Soap. Haley blew her aromatic candles out and walk to her bedroom as she wrapped her hair into her towel. She smiled as she saw the message her friend sent her about an idea for Pearls and Skirts party. Haley walked to her Vanity and just looked herself in the mirror, she looked good. She grabbed her 1 inch straighter and proceeded to straitening her long blonde hair. The straighter pressed her hair into shine and she just blow dry it as she just looked at her mirror.

She unwrapped towel from her body and put on light color strapless bra and panties. Haley grabbed her intercom and called her Maid up to her room, she needed help getting dress. She then looked at the dress and smiled as she walked towards it slowly and picked it up, her maid walked in and unzipped for Haley and helped her put it on. The dress was perfect for her, she looked stunning, and she was going be Dame of the Ball tonight. Nobody was going look better than her, she was looking stunning. She slipped on her shoes as she heard her limousine pulled up. Haley slipped on her diamond necklace that her Grandparent’s had given her for 12th birthday and diamond bracelet her Father had given her. Now the transformation was complete, she had gone from girl to a Princess in less than an hour. Haley grabbed Versace purse and make sure to put her pink I-phone and her digital camera inside, just in case she wanted to take pictures. Her maid came in and told her, her limousine was ready for her.

Haley walked to the elevator holding her dress as not to get the expensive dress dirty. Walking down the hallway her heels clicked against marble floor, as she pressed button for the elevator to take her to the first floor. The limousine was the family one, she had used a lot of times before, but this was first time she was taking to her to the ball. It was going be interesting, what people were going say when she arrived on it. Haley stepped into the limousine and put her seat belt and driver shut the door fully after she was seated. She just looked at around as the limousine drove off. Haley looked at the city around as she pondered her thoughts. The girl looked behind her and just noticed the police escort and police motorcycles surrounded her limousine.

She took the champagne out of the chiller and poured herself a glass; she needed a drink before the night started. Haley sipped on it slowly as she stared out of the window as the limousine cruised through the city. She just sat back on her chair and just relaxed as she sipped on her drink. As the limousine pulled up, to the Plaza Hotel,the girl took big breath as she waited. Her driver open the door and she walked out. The girl entered the hotel and accompanied by her security team, she was nervous.As she entered the ball room,a man announced,
"Her Royal Highness Princess Haley of Monaco". As she walk down a line people bow as she passed them by. Haley took seat at a throne at the end of the long line, her bodyguard placed her tiara on her head and she looked around. The girl just smiled at the people at the ball as her bodyguards surround her.

[SERENA VAN DER WOODSEN]

When Serena Van der Woodsen received the invitation to the Royal Ball celebrated in honor to the princess Haley William she almost couldn’t believe her eyes and was very tempted to take her phone out and call her that very moment. But she had urgent things to do now, like finding a dress to wear to the ball. She had met Haley when she was in Paris in one of her many holidays and they clicked quite well, they became friend quite easily and spent a lot of time together shopping and partying and chatting, but she had never told her about being a princess. When Serena met her she thought she was quite normal, as rich as her, of course, a member of the elite, but apart from that nothing different from the rest. The day of the ball Serena was getting ready and worrying about the evening, she hated those kind of things and most if she didn’t know people on them. If they were official things like this then they were guarantee to be quite boring and formal, nothing like the parties she attended and more like boring events and meetings. She had her dress ready on her bed and she was looking at it deciding between going or fake sickness and call Blair to spend the rest of the day at home.

She sighed getting into the shower and then took her time to dry herself, maybe if she ran late… but that would look even worse than call in sickness at the last minute and she had decided she couldn’t turn down the invitation. She put on her red Alexander McQueen velvet scarf detailed gown she had picked for the ball along with her So Private Two-Tone Slingbacks heels and Borse Dior in gold and rock and with a natural makeup except for red rouge on her lips she was absolutely ready for the ball to come. She didn’t know how she was supposed to behave now that she knew her friend was a princess but Serena wasn’t one of faking behavior and she knew she will treat her the same way she always did. She typed Blair telling her to met the following morning at her house for breakfast and a movie and then got down to get into her car and go to the Plaza hotel. Serena smiled, that hotel brought her a lot of memories taking into account she had been living there for months when her parents divorced until they got the penthouse. Living in a hotel was strange but it got her things though she hadn’t noticed the difference when moving to the penthouse. She still had the same comfort and people still did things for her, she was so used to it she couldn’t imagine to live different, the way Dan lived, for example.

Her mother started to talk to her about no sense things she didn’t even try to heard, she was quite upset for her marrying Rufus making her relationship with Dan even more complicated than it already was. She couldn’t blame her though but she needed to blame someone for her misery in her love life. She put her hair out of her face while taking a glass of champagne to calm down her nerves, no one will ever know she was nervous but inside she was trying to fight the feeling that everything would go to hell the same second she set her feet into the hotel. By the time the car stopped and the usual door man opened the door for her and helped her get down of the car she had drank three glasses of champagne and was feeling considerable better. More people was arriving at the same time than them and she observed their outfits, some of them she knew from the Upper East side and some of them were friends of her mother, others she didn’t have a clue of who they were and she wasn’t feeling like knowing anyway. Her mother went to greet some of her friends and she followed along her observing everyone with cautious eyes. At least she had picked her dress right, and she smiled to herself feeling more comfortable as the minutes ticked by.

When they got finally inside because it was too cold to chat outside she barely recognized the hotel she had been living in. Everything was ready for the ball but it was the most exquisite thing she had ever seen in her life, the flowers were amazing and the decoration was just perfect, she had to make an effort to not have her mouth hanging open in surprise. She went along with the rest of people and eat the food some waitress were offering and took another glass of champagne, there was no sign of her friend but she found herself chatting with some people and more comfortable than she ever thought, she even laughed a few times and relaxed. Then the room was called to attention and her friend made her entry, everything was very… dramatic, there wasn’t any other word; the tiara thing and the throne and all those bodyguards surrounding her. She had to bit her tongue so she wouldn’t laugh. Her friend looked amazing in her gown and this time she looked like a princess and not like any other normal girl her age, she was quite young taking into account Serena was eighteen and Haley was fifteen but she was quite mature for he age and now she understood why. Watching as other people clapped the entry of her friend she set her glass aside so she could do the same and smiled along, she was ready to shot one hundred questions to her friend the same moment they were having a minute alone.

[HALEY MARIE WILLIAMS]

Haley was nervous about being here,it was not that she was not flatter by all the festivities but in her eyes,she was just normal teenage girl. A girl who dealt with same problem any other normal girls dealt like her period,boys, acne, friends,etc.. but there was one big difference she had the title Princess attach to her name.And there was no way to get around it, no matter where she went, the girl would always be known as Her Royal Highness. Haley had that kind of pressure on her,it was hard being teenager at times. She found it more stressful than dealing with acne and her period,there was time she did not feel like prim and proper and she had to be. The girl could not just go out of her Upper East Side Penthouse in sweats and without make up,she had to look her best always.

The girl looked around the room,there was not many people that she knew personally.Most of the people attending the ball were friends of her family or some Upper East Side socialites that saw the event as good photo op. If she could Haley probably would headed out of town already but she didn't, she had to stay for after-party and other events the following days. She could have gone crying to her grandfather and he would had probably let her bring her friends but her Father would have gotten mad.And the last thing,she needed was to get her Father mad, she did not need that drama in her life right now.

At times,the girl just wanted to pass under the radar undetected but there was no such luck ever for Haley. There was always somebody coming up to her whether be for photos or autographs and tonight was not exception. Before the start of the Ball,the girl had been shuffle between interviews and photo-ops, that she was tired already of the publicity.But Haley was not willing to give up the lime light if this was the price to pay so be it,she was joining it. And she was continued to enjoy no matter how aggressive press got with her.

There was breath of fresh air,when she spotted a face that she recognized on the crowd. It was her friend from Paris, Haley was glad that she had made to the ball,it would be somebody talk. The girl was already bored just sitting there and exchanging pleasantries with people that came up with her. It was time to live up, the ball a little of course,Haley was still going be prim and proper. She had to be or her parents would kill her but she had to get out of the gown dress,it was killing her. Haley whispered something to the Royal secretary about fetching Serena as she excused herself out of the room.


Haley took a private elevator to the pent house suite of the Plaza Hotel,she needed to change. As the doors open,she walked out of the elevator as she looked around the hall there was nothing but men dress in dark suits and sunglasses with ear pieces patrolling the hall. The girl wonder why did she needed so much security in a private penthouse suite, where she was alone with nobody else. Haley walked into her suite and just locked her door, her two lady in waiting where accompanied her. She just stood there as they unzip the dress and help her out of it,the girl took off her heels and strapless bra and just sat in front of the mirror in her panties. Haley just took big sight as one of her helper re-touched her hair and make-up.

[SERENA VAN DER WOODSEN]

She could only wish she was somewhere else, she had been talking with bored people and being introduced to dozen more people in the damned ball and she hadn’t got the chance to talk to Haley, she was always surrounded by people. She wished she was with Blair, sitting her couch watching some film or gossiping in her bed with candies, or with Dan, spending the night somewhere and just being happy together, or even with Chuck, out clubbing and having fun with the group and spending a spending New York night, but no, she was stuck in a ball where everyone was posh and serious and boring and she had nothing to do but smile back and answer the stupid bored questions they asked. Not everything was lost, because short after she had drowned down her fifth or six glass of champagne Haley spotted her in the crow and talked to someone by her side that went to her. He told her to follow him and she excused herself and did it as she was told. She didn’t ask where they were heading, probably to Haley’s place; she had disappeared after talking to the guy who now was guiding Serena. They go on the lift, the guy never talking to her as they got to the suite she was staying and opened the door for her, after some talk she was allowed to enter the room.

As soon as Serena set her foot on the room a rush of memories came back to her of the time she was living there. She missed it though, it had been good times, different times, happier times and now everything looked like a mess and so complicated. She smiled as she went to Haley’s bedroom remembering how she used to go to hers in her own suite and knocked on the door before opening it and entering the room. The girl was sitting in the bad, braless and only in her panties, she was just fifteen, Serena could understand she was tired of it, of course when she was fifteen she had to endure balls like this all the time and wasn’t allowed to sneak, she always managed to do so and she ended the night wasted with the rest of her friends. She walked toward her and sat beside her on her bed smiling. Now that they were not surrounded by posh people it was time to get all her questions answered. Serena could guess why she had never told her she was a princess; she just wanted to feel like a teen, like a normal girl with a normal friend spending her time together doing normal things. Maybe Serena should leave it at that and not question her about her motives or pressing her to tell her about everything. I thought would never get the chance to talk down there. She joked not knowing exactly what to say. I didn’t know you were coming to town! You should have said it.

Serena still wanted to be somewhere else, didn’t matter they were in the suite of the girl alone they were still forced to come back down and do what they were expected to. She wasn’t
feeling like being pleasant with them or just being there for more than five minutes, she was very tempted of calling Dan to pick her up and get out of the place and change and spend the night doing something else completely different. But that wouldn’t be fair for poor Haley who looked as much bored as she did and Serena had the feeling she didn’t know half of the people who was down there drinking champagne doing business and talking about ships. What you been up to since you left Paris? Asking her about the rest of her holidays was awkward but it was something a normal friend would do, ask her friend where did she spend the rest of her holidays and if she did something excited. The rest of the holidays had been quite calm for her, apart from the normal fights between Dan and her and the normal Gossip and the drama it created around. She wished GG had something better to do than ruin other people lives but the last time she had tried to bring her down everything went the wrong way. She didn’t know what to do to make her disappear and now that Haley was on town she was sure going to include her on her blog, not even royal people was out of GG radar if there was good Gossip on it.

When she finally could rest and sit she wasn’t expecting things will feel so strange with her and it maybe it had to do with the fact that she was a princess or with the fact that they had little contact since she left Paris. An occasional text message or a call and that would be all the talks they had during that time; she didn’t even know she was coming to town until she received the invitation for the ball. She wished at least another member of her circle in the Upper East Side had been invited to it, then she would at least have something to do there, and not spend the evening with a half naked girl a room feeling awkward and bored and tired. She would have to make a big effort to bring back the easiness of their friendship or maybe it was because the occasion was feeling so serious and she was feeling down. She should be happy, she was back with Dan and she felt good about that but she had the feeling things were about to get even more complicated with Dan on the picture, dating her would make him go back to GG blog though he already was now he was going to be even more critiqued because of their relationship… she shook her head trying to remember where she was and smiled to Haley waiting for her answer, she needed one more glass of champagne… or maybe two or three more.

[HALEY MARIE WILLIAMS]

Haley's new outfit

The girl was nervous as she could be, she did not like this all attention surrounding her. Haley was not comfortable with a whole security team of guys following her to the entrance of the bathroom, she felt every minute of her privacy was invaded. But there was nothing she could do but just try to relax and live with it, she was not normal girl after all. The girl was the heir to the throne of Monaco if something happen to the heiress,there would be international trouble. Sure, not to the effect of what happen with Austrian-Hungarians before World War I but there would be hell raised especially by her Father. That is why,she abide by the rules even if she did not feel comfortable around them, to her feeling safe was primary.

Haley felt more comfortable living alone in Manhattan than she did in Monte Carlo with her parents. In New York, she could try to be Haley even though that was not really possible but she could lead as normal as life as a princess could. But in Monte Carlo,there was not such thing as normalcy, the press and gossip magazines were all over constantly. There were always questions why was she not dating, the girl did not care what they though about her love life,it was her problem. Haley did not want date at the moment, she was fine with that. And also any boy that came into her life faced added scrutnity not only from her parents but also from the press, she did not want submit any boys through that.

She smiled at Serena as she stood up for her ladies in waiting to help her get dress. Haley gave look at them as they put on her bra then a green Juicy Couture low cut dress, she just looked around the room rather uncomfortably. She did not like being dresses, she preferred doing by herself but that was one thing as a royal child that she had to do accept the fact that she had helpers everywhere. Haley put on her gold Jimmy Choo flats then one of her helpers put on her diamond necklace and earrings. The girl smiled on the mirror as she took Serena hand and just walked into private bathroom, she locked the door.It was the only place,they could have some privacy without prying eyes of her security team and her ladies in waiting.

"Nothing really, I came to Manhattan last year to start school in Constance Billards School for girls. Then I spent the summer in the island of Capri on my parent's private Villa.I tried contacted you but you always seemed busy."Haley took deep breath as she looked at herself in the mirror and fixed her tiara, she was still nervous and there was so much she had to do tonight. "I though you knew I lived in the Upper-East Side,my parent's have penthouse. Of course not many people know for security concerns,not even the people at the school.If I need anything deliver,it's delivery to Monaco's embassy then given to me."There was no way,Haley could explain her life to Serena it was too hard to even start to comprehend. She was trying to make her friend as comfortable as possible, she did not want Serena to think of her as Her Royal Highness but rather as just Haley. Her title was just that a title, a formality that she had been born with.

She just looked around the bathroom and then back to Serena, the girl knew there was question that she had to answer the girl. "I must apologize that I never told you who I really was. I did not tell you first out of privacy and security concerns and second because I did not want be treated different. I'm treated differently already in my life, I don't need my friends to treat me differently too.I'm sorry, I should have told you that I was princess and a heir to a throne."The girl just smiled as she just looked at Serena, she was definitively nervous at the moment. Haley opened her clutch bag and took a piece of paper,scribble something,quickly opened the door and handed to member of her security team. She just nodded when he informed that she was needed in twenty minutes at the main room. Haley just smiled at Serena,
"Well,what you say that you sit with me at the royal table?I truly need friends at the table,not just my lady in waiting who are just daughter of aristocrats that sucked up to my Father to get the position of being confidants and my helpers.We got be back in the main room in 20 minutes."Haley smiled as she sat on top of the toilet and just look down.

[SERENA VAN DER WOODSEN]

Serena know how it felt to try to be a normal girl, maybe she wasn’t wearing such a big title like Haley was but still she knew how difficult was being different from the rest. She was trying hard to make this situation as any other in her life but how could she? It got even more awkward when Haley took her hand and guided her to the bathroom. It seemed the only private site to talk around because the maids and the security guys won’t be around her there. She started to talk Serena about her summer, the question she had asked, and it seemed quite a pretty normal summer, so she tried to hang on that, to hang onto normal things to try to remember she was talking to a normal girl just like her, with the same likes and dislikes and that they had been friends during the time they both spent in Paris. You are right, once I got back home I had a lot of things to do, you know, typical Upper social things like balls, meetings, parties, cocktails and brunches and of course I had a lot to catch up with my friends. When Serena left town she always regretted coming back, there was always so much to catch up with and of course that makes you target of gossips you are not able to stop when you are away, and your friends fight and you can go fix it or help them so everything was a mess. I didn’t know.

If Serena knew Haley was living in the Upper East side she would have paid some visit, or maybe not, but she was the kind of girl who would paid a visit and try to make things go on, but she didn’t know because no one had told her, of course there was no one how could tell her if people didn’t know she was friends with her, which was, coming to think of it, awkward because she was followed by the press everywhere she went and she was surprised pics of the two of them around Paris didn’t show up in the magazines. With the life style Haley had she couldn’t make out how she could live surrounded by such security, but she guessed when you are born like that you will be used to all the things around her. But after hearing you say that I’m not surprised I didn’t, I would be surprised if I did know. She was trying to make things easier for both of them, that was Serena, always trying to make things good for the people around her, she should really stop doing that. But then Haley starting apologizing for not telling her she was a princess and for not telling her about her living there and all that and Serena had to laugh, she understood being a princess wasn’t like being and Elite or an Upper East sider, she understood why she couldn’t tell and even why she wouldn’t like to tell even if she could, if Serena was on her place she wouldn’t like being treated different, in fact she had been doing all her efforts to be normal.

Serena invited Dan that day they met because she wanted to be a normal girl and tried to know how a normal girl would feel, she hoped Dan would treat her like a normal girl but he didn’t get the point at first. Look, you don’t have to apologize for being who you are, I understand everything. Serena thought sharing her own experience at trying to being normal would make everything felt more relaxed, and it was a good story to tell anyway, that way she would know she didn’t have to explain things to her. I tried myself with the normal thing once, when I started dating Dan? I was quite sick of Elite life. Coming back at those times, the time they got together, and the confusion she made the day Dan prepared a date for her and she thought he was taking her on a Vespa when he had rented a limousine. Those all were good times, he was so nervous and so cute, and more important, he was different and an outsider. I tried to make everything normal with him, he is just middle class, his father doesn’t have much money and he is… different, so I tried but in the end, you can’t stop being who you are. And that was the main reason they had all those problems, Serena couldn’t help being an Elite, doesn’t matter how much she tried to get out of the circle she ended back there; it was her life after all.

When she was asked to get on the royal table with her, she knew all the stares would be on her, her mother would be so proud and her picture would be all over town in magazines and newspapers, Blair would probably throw a fit about it and Dan will have another one. But to hell if she was going to say no to her friend Haley just because of what people will think of it, if she was allowed to get in such position, not even caring having it or not, then she was going to make her friend company, it has to feel lonely being at the top all by yourself with no one to catch your back of you fall down. She was going to be that someone just because she was like that. I will feel very awkward and uncomfortable but I’ll do it. She tried to get her makeup right and her dress in place and taking care of looking as perfect as possible to get the best impression. They were have to get down in twenty minutes and then Serena will have to walkup the royal table with her friend, a princess. All seemed so surreal, like that time Blair had been dating an English duke without knowing it and just to make Chuck jealous, it had been one of those times in life you can barely believe what your eyes are showing you, and then they had the pleasure to know Nate and duke’s sister were having an affair. That had been one of a kind summer in the Hamptons. So getting those memories out of her head she nodded to her friend and tried to look as perfect as possible for what she was about to do.

[HALEY MARIE WILLIAMS]

In her life security was so complicated that after she had chosen her high school in Upper East Side of Manhattan, her Father had the security do a background check on the school.Haley did not understand why her life had to be so complicated, it was just a school and nothing else. She just could not be normal girl even if she tried,there was always something that got in the way. The girl did not know but she imagined that the life for the Elite of the Upper East Side was the same as her but just not as bad. Haley tried her hardest to be down earth, it was impossible when she came where she came but she tried. There was no need to flaunt her wealth or royal title, she did not need everybody to know, it could put her life in jeopardy easily.

Haley did not let many people around her, only her closest of friends were in her inner-circle. She did not know how many people just wanted be friends because of the perks of being associated with her or they were just truly unique about their friendships. That is why, she guarded herself so well and did not tell anybody who she truly was because she wanted to see how people treat her before she told them truth.If they changed after she told them,the truth then she knew that they did not really care about her, just her wealth and perks. But she knew that things with Serena were different,the girl truly cared about her that is why Haley trusted her so much."Everybody is keeping me so guarded that is hard at times meeting with friends. I wish I could have the freedom to move around that I have in Monte Carlo.But I guess you got sacrifice some things."She sighted as she looked in the mirror for a minute.

There were things not even if she tried to explain them,Serena would never understand. As much as Haley wanted her to understand what was like being her,it was hard without living it. The girl tried her best to make it as comfortable as possible when she was around Serena,so the girl would not feel awkward. She just thought it best that if she included Serena and other Elite Upper-East Siders in her daily life, so they could get feel what was like being a Princess."Normal is not a word in my vocabulary,just simple task of going to Starbucks to get coffee is a hard task.There is display of security and people going in with me, that is why I just sent somebody to go get me coffee because I can't not go anywhere without being surrounded.I understand they doing their job but it so hard being teenage girl with so much people around you."

Haley stood from the toilet and just smiled at Serena as she took her hand, just looked around. She opened the door and just walked out with Serena and headed to the elevator. Haley just gave her security team look and just rolled her eyes as she entered the elevator with Serena and headed back to the ball room.It was not place,she wanted to return but the girl had to return because people were expecting her to make an appearance. If it was up to her,she would take her limo and headed back to her Upper-East Side Penthouse. But she couldn't,there were formality that the girl had to do even if she did not feel like it.

As the door opens, she walked out with Serena, a man again announced,
"Her Royal Highness Haley of Monaco and Lady Serena Van Der Woodsen."Haley just walk with Serena and smiled as she took seat in the center of the table and just whisper to Serena to seat next to her. The girl felt less nervous having her friend next to her, it would make the evening seem less tense. Haley stood up and just clicked her glass once and smiled,
"In the name of my Father Prince Adam of Monaco, I would like thank y'all for coming tonight to my welcoming ball. It is an honor y'all could grace me with your presence,I want thank you for coming, I feel truly welcome."She smiled as she took seat back down and just heard claps around the room.Haley whisper at Serena,
"How did I do?"

[SERENA VAN DER WOODSEN]

She couldn’t understand it even she tried, but her life wasn’t easy either so there was no way Serena was judging Haley for being a princess and being surrounded by people all the time, people who did everything for her. Serena couldn’t imagine how would be like being always with people around, when she wanted privacy she didn’t have to get into a bathroom to get it, she will just tell people to leave her the fuck alone and then she will just be in her room or go take a walk around town. But Haley had said she couldn’t even buy coffee without someone going with her, so what did she do when she needed some time alone? Go to the bathroom, and that was so sad Serena couldn’t help but feel bad for her. Well, she was determinate to make her feel as normal as possible, she wasn’t a normal girl either but at least she could talk with her about girly stuff, normal things… and that made her think about who Haley would date a guy, that would felt uncomfortable for both of them and everyone will know what they were doing or where they were all the time, no surprises or romantic moments for them. She sighed… Serena didn’t have an idea of how hard her life was.

We will have a normal friendship, or as normal as a friendship can be with you, we had it in Paris remember? That doesn’t have to change. It would be good for a fifteen years old like Haley to have a normal life, Serena saw her more like a little sister than a friend, she was three years younger than her and she still had to learnt a lot of things, Serena liked to think she would be there to help Haley out on her problems while she grew up. She could try to smooth her path, make her live as normal as a life as possible and at least try to not make her feel alone on the top. They stood up and walked outside the bathroom, Serena had time to get the idea in her brain, the idea that she was about to jump into the royal world without a warn, she was going to sit with them in the royal table and that was going to make her life change forever, but as Haley said, sometimes you have to sacrifice things to get what you want and what she wanted was protecting Haley from harm and help her to have a life. If she became a target because of it, so let it be. She walked with her toward the lift and then when the doors opened to the main room Serena’s nerves were about to explode. Their names were announced to the people inside who turned to look at them.

Serena felt the eyes of everyone on her and she had to control herself, she was about to shake, so much worried she was and so nervous she had to force a smile in order to not look like an idiot. She had to concentrate on not tripping in front of all those people who was watching her, studying her with their eyes and she could even see envy in some of them. She wasn’t sure why people would love to have that kind of life, everyone envied it but they didn’t know how much being one implied. If someone ever got the chance to get into the circle then they will complain about how they lost their privacy. They sat at the table, Serena smiling at everyone and feeling uncomfortable because she didn’t know any of them and she was sitting with the royal family. Haley stood up and gave a little speech then sat to ask her how she had been. You had been great. She said watching at everyone clapping and waiting for her to sit and give the nod so everyone could start eating. I think we should just eat, we are starving over here. She joked to make the air less tense, she had the feeling the people who was sitting with her in the table weren’t too much happy to have there. She remembered what Haley had said about them trying to get into a higher position in the family and Serena thought they were watching at her like an enemy, someone who was trying to steal their work from them and get the starts, which wasn’t at all the case, she was there just for Haley, she liked to have a normal life without so much complications, she wasn’t after that at all, but the people who was sitting with her didn’t think the same and that made her more uncomfortable.

[HALEY MARIE WILLIAMS]

In her world things revolved slowly most of the time except parties and social functions. Those things did not revolve slowly at all,they were happening every minute of the day,it was Haley's job to show up to most of them. Yeah,that is how she was become more famous everyday for being a party girl. She loved it, the last couple days she was in St.Barts and now she was in partying and living in large with her friends. It was sort of habit of the girl to be going from party to party or just going to her mansions around the world, it was something that Haley could get use to. And the last thing, the girl needed it was to get pregnant and her partying life stop, but for now she did not need to worry about that. Because she did not have boyfriend, when she did have sex, Haley make sure it was safe that no mistake was happen, she did not need little Hales running around. A little mistake like that could throw her A-lister life out of sync, she did not need that at least for now.

And she loved the spotlight,there was no place she would not go that she did not want be notice. Sure,sometimes the tabloid wrote crap about her,but she was used to it. They usually wrote crap about everybody even if it was not true,it was their way to keep float. The only thing,the girl detested was when the press hounded and camped out to glimpse of her, when she did not want be seen. The girl needed her private life,it was not everything about the glitz and glamor even the magazines though so.And she detested all the cameras in her face, as she tried to walk in,she was here for ball not publicity.

Haley whisper to Serena, "Eating would be good."The girl just smiled as she grabbed asparagus with her fork and took a bite. She hate the formalities of the dinner, she just wished it could be less informal and she could just eat some of her food with her hands. The girl put her asparagus down and took sip of her champagne,the girl was extremely nervous right now. Haley felt cramps on her stomach as she stood up,grabbed her clutch bag and just rushed out of the room to the bathroom.Her securities scrambled after her,Haley ran to the ladies room and just slammed the door,she wanted be alone. The girl just ran to stall and the cramps just got worse.As she look down her legs,there was blood coming,this was the last thing she needed.Haley took out her I-Phone and just texted Serena,
"Bathroom,911.bring monthly supplies.XOXO."She just sat there and just cried.

[SERENA VAN DER WOODSEN]

Serena was so nervous she didn’t know how she would eat, she wasn’t hungry. Haley told her it would be good to have something to eat so she picked her fork and forced herself to pick something from her dish without even looking at it and pop it into her mouth. She couldn’t believe she was eating dinner with the royal family. Serena wasn’t the type of girl a royalty will set his eyes on, just because she was a party girl and a crazy one. She had got into a lot of troubles when she got out and such, she had a reputation of sleeping with a lot of guys and taking drugs… since the time she had gone to broad school rumors about her had come around and most of them didn’t left. She wasn’t the best of the choices, at least that was what people thought, but Serena worked as hard as she could to get the rumors out her way and she had demonstrate she was worth it regardless of what people thought of her. I’m just not hungry at the moment. She whispered back.

Suddenly Haley got up and ran outside. Serena was startled not to say the rest of the people in the room, she didn’t know what to do, maybe she should excuse herself and go after her to know what was happening. The answer came in the form of a txt, she searched for it in her bag and flipped it open, it was a text from Haley telling her to go to the bathroom and bring with her some monthly supplies. Serena was surprised Haley wasn’t ready for that, in a ball like that, making that sort of mistake that could ruin the clothes, it was just confusing. Serena excused herself and walked calmly out of the hall, when she was out of sight she ran to the ladies room after Haley and knocked on the door, opening it a crack. She heard softly cries and walked toward the sound. Haley? I’m here, with what you need. She was feeling so uncomfortable hearing her crying. This wasn’t the first time she was doing that, for crying out loud; Serena had a lot of practice so she didn’t know why she was feeling so strange. Maybe it was because when it happened, it happened to Blair.

Are you alright? Serena couldn’t think of a reason why Haley wasn’t alright, unless… unless it was her first time and that was the reason she was crying and she wasn’t ready. Now that was a first for Serena, the only sibling she had was a boy so obviously she had never got on that with him. What to do? She wouldn’t have an idea of what was happening, or how to use what Serena had brought… The only way she could help was getting in and help her with that, try to explain her to not being scared and how to use things, for sure the rest of the things were quite known to her? Like the 28 days thing and shit… she wasn’t ready to have that talk and much less in the bathroom while people were waiting for them because they were in the middle of a royal ball and dinner. Can I come in?. Taking a breath she waited for the girl to answer while thinking what to say to her. By golly she couldn’t imagine this situation was going to happen right now… But a lot of things were happening that night, and she hadn’t planned any of them like having her dinner on the royal table or going to the ball in the first place. It seemed everything with her happened in the bathroom, this was the second time she was on one that night and with her.

[HALEY MARIE WILLIAMS]

The girl did not mind having royal responsabilities, even it was stressful at times.Haley enjoyed being the central of attention and having people following her life.Sure,it was not fun all the time but most of the time,it was something that she enjoyed. Even though her life was stressful,most of the time she did not see her Mother or Father,she did not mind it.It was actually fascade, she actually missed them especially her Mother,she was just entering puberty and things were confusing.Sure, Haley had access to her Mother but it was not same thing to call or text her than just talk face to face with her. The girl was just confused,it was good thing she had not done anything crazy yet.

This moment was one,she was dreading that would happen especially in an event like this.Sure,the gossip news would not know because she would keep it under wraps but the people in attendance would know. Haley was embarrassed, she had read about this before but she did not expect it to be in her Royal Ball. She did not understand why her body could not wait until she was alone in her room or in her penthouse.But at least,she had her close friend Serena with her here,she could confide on her what was happening. Haley knew she would have to call her Mother later on tonight but that could wait.

Haley stood up and just opened the door and let Serena and just closed it again.She did not know how to explain this moment to her friend. The girl continued sobbing,she grabbed her clutch bag and took out compact, just looked at herself in the mirror. Haley noticed her mascara was running but she did not care at the moment,there were bigger problems at the moment. She sobbed as she looked at Serena,
"There is something,I must tell you and I trust you more than my ladies in waiting."She paused and took big breath,
"I did not know this was happening,I was not prepare at all, I can't talk to my Mother because she is in Switzerland with my Father and my lady in waiting,I don't really involve them in my private life.This is my first period,I did not even notice it was coming until we were at dinner table.Sure,I had been feeling crappy all day long but I did not think it was my period but rather just nerves.Please don't tell anybody,I be embarrased if people find out the heiress of throne of Monaco did not know her first period was coming."She sighted as she hugged Serena and just continued sobbing.

[SERENA VAN DER WOODSEN]

What to do in a situation like this? Run and hide, that was the first thought Serena had when she read the text and ran to the bathroom with what she had asked for. When she opened the door and heard Haley crying she wanted to just disappear of the place. Serena wasn’t ready for this; she wasn’t ready to give the talk to a fifteen years old girl in the middle of a royal ball. But she couldn’t just ran and disappear, call Dan and tell him to wait for her with ice-cream and movies. So when Haley opened the door she got in and she was welcomed with words followed by sobs and hug. She tried to calm Haley down but she really didn’t know what to say or do, she could explain her it was normal and what she had to do and that you normally don’t get a warn about what is coming. Haley, well… It’s pretty normal, you never know when it’s coming until it comes, you don’t have to be scared or freak out. She wished Haley was Blair and used to it instead of her first period, and not because she couldn’t handle this, which was pretty much the main reason, but because she couldn’t do it just now. Of course, those things never give a sign until they just decided to come and they always do in the worst moments possible.

Serena waited for Haley to calm down so she could explain to her how to use the things and when she did, she told Haley everything she needed to know. Well, now all you need to do is relax, with everything I explained to you, it would be fine, now go clean yourself, use them how I told you and no one will ever know. Serena exited the bathroom, cleaned her face and sighed, one big thing done, now she text Dan and tell him to wait for her next morning with a big hot chocolate and candies. It was just a few days since they had got back together and Serena was determinate to spend as much time with him as she could but now all she could think of was Haley and her problem in the bathroom. Are you doing it okay? Do you need something? She picked a towel from the racks they got there to dry your hands and spreading some water on it she gave it to Haley. That will help you with the cleaning, it’s very important you know, to keep yourself clean while you got your period.

Haley would feel uncomfortable for a while, but they had to get back to the Ball room or they would think something was happening and they will send someone to see what it was, which would send to hell the idea of keeping everything in secret. . I know you are uncomfortable and that you don’t feel well, but we need to get back to the room. Serena looked herself in the mirror and used the time to clean her face and re-do her makeup, she combed her hair to left it as perfect as it was before and smoothed her dress. Getting back to the royal table would be an awkward situation especially when both of them left the room in such a hurry and without giving a serious explanation. Of course Serena could say she went to the bathroom to make herself look decent and such but Haley had left running without even excusing herself from the table and Serena had left short behind, no one will ever believe that one. She couldn’t think anything to say, but she couldn’t just leave Haley to look for something to say even if she was the one leaving the room in such a hurry.

[HALEY MARIE WILLIAMS]

Life could not get harder for the heiress to be, things like this were just starting to happen. She barely saw her Mother,this was time that she needed more than ever. Things were confusing,it was not the same reading it from a book than talking to your mother about it. But Haley had to just resort reading from books or magazines then just skypeing or even just texting her Mother and asking her question. The girl could not afford missing school to just go over Monaco to have chat with her Mother,even though she had always plane fuel and ready to go any time that she wanted. But Haley could not do it,school was too important to her to just blow it to go Monaco. If she did blow it,she probably could make everything up but she did not want do it,it was not how she worked.

Haley was truly embarrased by this episode tonight, the ball had not turned out like she wanted. Her body had started acting up and started it's transition from young girl to young woman, the girl was not looking forward to it.She just nodded at what Serena said and just started cleaning herself up. There was no way,that she could disappeared for the night and give the excuse that she was not feeling herself. It was not the way, a future princess to be of Monaco acted, she carried on like nothing happened. Even if she was not feeling good, the girl had to carry on. The night and the success of the ball depended on her.

She smiled as she exited the stall and just looked at Serena. Haley just grabbed the girl and just walked out of the bathroom, she was relieved that everything was slightly better. Haley whispered to Serena, "Thank you,Lady Serena." She walked into the ballroom and smiled as she walked in again accompanied by Serena,she took seat the table and just looked around.Haley grabbed her fork and started eating again."You save me from an embarrassment.Thank you."

[SERENA VAN DER WOODSEN]

What a weird situation she was living there, but at least it was one easy to fix and after explaining to the girl what was going on she pretty much calmed down. Serena waited for her outside while fixing herself, if it was Jenny, or whoever, it would have been easier, but she didn’t have all that much of confidence with Haley, or she didn’t until now. They had met in Paris and spent some of their holidays together and that was about all, she had been truly surprised to hear from her with the Ball invitation. It wasn’t as if they stopped talking when she left to get back home, but they weren’t best friends either. Now living her first period with her would bring the two of them back together and with this one will come the talks about sex, body changes, and such, and since Haley’s mother wasn’t here and Serena had been, it was up to her to give them to Haley. Suddenly she felt old, like a mother giving the talks to her little girl who was growing up, and that made her felt weird, at least she will have some practice for the future. Haley got out of the bathroom and grabbing her she took her to the ball room. Don’t call me Lady. Serena laughed, it was just what she needed to feel even older, being called Lady, the way someone will call her grandma or a girl from the court.


They entered the room, everyone watching them as they sat again in their sits and started to get back to their food. It was the strangest event she had attended to in all her life, and not because it was a royal ball, but could things got even worst after that? Serena seriously doubted it but it was better to not tempt the luck. It’s okay, but you will have to give them some sort of explanation for getting out of the room so suddenly. At least she was grateful that wasn’t up to her, she would have messed up for sure and well, she had excused herself, she could have been going anywhere for all they knew. But it was obvious the two of them were together and they were waiting for them to say something about what had happened. They couldn’t possibly go and tell them she had gotten her first period in the worst time possible and that she had to run to her rescue. No, that wouldn’t be the best even if it was the pure truth; she will have a lot to tell Blair next morning when they got together for her usual breakfast and film thing. We better think of something, and we better do it quick. If she could sum up the things that had happened to her… she took her phone out and texted Dan, she was wishing to see him soon, she just needed him now, she wanted to cuddle with him and watch an old film while kissing.



Instead of that she got a girl with her first period who needed some guidance during a royal ball in which she was sitting at the royal table surrounded by people she didn’t know with the eyes of her mother fixed on her so she won’t mess up their chance to get related with the royal family. Next day this will be in the press, the magazines, all over town, model Serena Van der Woodsen sitting with Princess Haley Williams during her ball at Plaza hotel, her mother will die of pleasure, for once she was getting in the press not for her work or what she did during a party night she could barely remember but for something good and that will give them more popularity, as if Serena gave a damn about her fame, she thought that was clear when she decided to date Dan. Of course, and thinking of it, she couldn’t live without her money or her clothes or everything she had, she couldn’t really think what being a normal was because truth be told, she wanted to be one with all the comfortable things she had when she got back home.

[HALEY MARIE WILLIAMS]

If she could Haley probably would headed out of town already but she didn't, she had to stay for after-party and other events the following days. She could have gone crying to her grandfather and he would had probably let her bring her friends but her Father would have gotten mad.And the last thing,she needed was to get her Father mad, she did not need that drama in her life right now.

Being the Prince's daughter had its perks, she could be anywhere she wanted without having to announce it. Even though,she was thinking of being in Monaco,she did not know when. Her busy schedule kept her in New York most of the time and she did not have time to be in Monaco and do publicity.Unless, she could convince her Father to do a publicity in New Yorks,she was not going be active on Royal social life.



At times,the girl just wanted to pass under the radar undetected but there was no such luck ever for Haley. There was always somebody coming up to her whether be for photos or autographs and tonight was not exception. Before the start of the show,the girl had been shuffle between interviews and photo-ops, that she was tired already of the publicity.But Haley was not willing to give up the lime light if this was the price to pay so be it,she was joining it. And she was continued to enjoy no matter how aggressive press got with her.


The girl took big breath as she stood up and just looked around the room.Haley could lie and just said,she had an emergency but she was not like that. She was taught to be truthful even in the most uncomfortable social situations. Haley smiled as she looked around,
"I'm deeply sorry,we had to interrupt our meal and ball so abruptly.I experience some female emergency for the first time in my life, I needed to take care of them.But now that has been taken care of,let's continue to eat and have fun."The girl just smiled as she sat back down and continue to eat.
