Jacque walked over to the girls a few minutes later. "There you two are, we were wondering if you were coming back to the pool."

"Sure," Becky said, standing up, "you coming, Amy?"

"Sure," Amelia nodded. Jacque held out his hand and helped Amelia up, then tucking an arm about her waist, he led her back to the pool.

The prince was not in the pool anymore, much to Amy's disappointment.

"Where's Ashton?" Becky asked.

"His mother needed him," Ellis said.

"Probably trying to plan his wedding," Victor chuckled, "poor guy."

Amelia suddenly smirked.

"Uh oh, I know that look," Becky snickered.

"What look?" Jacque asked.

"Her scheming look," Becky grinned.

"Do tell," Ellis chuckled.

"You know how much you three love Serena," Amelia grinned.

"Yes, so much," Victor grumbled.

"I was thinking that maybe we could make her stay a bit more welcoming?"

"What do you have in mind?" Jacque grinned.

"Where does she stay?"

"In the royal wing."

"Of course she does. Are any of you good friends with the staff, so that they can sneak into her room?"

"We are allowed there," Jacque said, "We go and visit Ashton in his room all the time."

"So, how come Becky isn't allowed there?" Amelia asked.

"She's a girl," Victor shrugged.

"But so is the Ho," Amelia pointed out.

"Yes, but she is the Queen's Ho," Ellis chuckled.

Amelia laughed. "True, so here is what I think we should do," she said, pulling the boys and Becky into a huddle in the middle of the pool.

The boys snickered as Amy laid out her plan.

"I love it," Jacque chuckled.

"What are you five scheming?" Ashton asked, walking back outside. He was dressed in a suit, and Amelia tried not to ogle him too much.

"Nothing, cousin," Jacque chuckled.

"Sure, because I believe you," Ashton smirked. "Just leave me out of it."

"That is not a problem," Ellis assured.

"Ashton, how much do you like Serena?" Victor asked.

"I don't."

"Not at all?" he pushed.

"Not at all."

"Good."

"Why?"

"Oh, no reason," Victor chuckled. "Where are you headed off to?"

"I have to go and distribute that food I promised the people."

"Oh, yeah, cool," Ellis said.

"Hope you have a lot of guards," Jacque said. "I have a feeling that even though you are handing out food, people still won't be happy."

"I am taking plenty of men," Ashton assured him.

"Good. You aren't taking Serena with you, are you?"
