"Shh...Roman, you don't have to worry about that. Its just a poem i learnt from a movie...." Nova pulled Roman close and gave him a soft kiss.
"I love you Novalie, today, i wanna announce publicly that we are dating." Roman told her as she gasped.
"Really??? Yay!! Yay!! I can't wait! I love you so much!" She started crying.
"Oh Nova, you're so funny. Am so glad life is finally being good to you, giving you a loving boyfriend like me.' Roman bragged jokingly as Nova cackled. They finally got out of bed, and put on something nice.
"I...i should go out of the country soon...i miss home..." Nova said.
"Let me get you something nice to wear." Roman opened another closet and took out a short but corporate dress.
"i love this." Nova smiled and went to try it on.
"It looks amazing on you Novalie." The President made them announce he would be giving a speech in the evening. They worked so hard on packages all afternoon, and soon, evening came.
"Good evening y'all...ministers, secretaries, and some other workers, first and foremost, i wanna address on something. I wanna know why there are so many girls anytime i wanna give a speech. Am sorry to all the girls that are here, looking breathtaking but this is not a strip party, so any girl half naked, or wearing strange clothing, maybe a slut or a gangster, please leave.' There were murmurs and they all left. The hall was still filled with people.
"So, Am here to announce that....my PA over here, Novalie Greens, is officially my girlfriend." There were some more murmurs, but most people started cheering, and yelling that she could make a good first lady.
Novalie smiled at all the comments by the people, as the President got off the stage with her for more ministers to discuss politics.
As the speech was going on by the Minister, Novalie started dozing.
"Nova....nova....nova..." Roman tried to keep her eyes open, with some boring jokes about more politics.
"SHUT UP!" Nova suddenly stood up and ordered the Minister. Mouths were open, including Roman. This silence, was PIN-DROP!
"Politics ought to be the part-time profession of every citizen who would protect the rights and privileges of free men. Political power intoxicates the best hearts. No man is wise enough, nor good enough, to be trusted with much political power. Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun. Political power does not rest with those who cast votes; political power rests with those who count votes. Good government is one of the most important factors in economic growth and social well-being. The essence of good government is trust. A good government may, indeed, redress the grievances of an injured people; but a strong people can alone build up a great nation." Novalie said confidently and there was another short silence before a round of applause.
"Wow Miss Nova Greens. You have proved that you can be a great First Lady. President Roman, please marry Novalie as soon as possible, for a better country.' One of the board members suggested. For the first time, Roman was so proud of Nova. He rose up, and smashed his lips against hers, as they felt the whole world watching them.

"WOAH, WOAH, WOAH! Headline: PRESIDENT ROMAN ANNOUNCES HIS PERSONAL ASSISTANT, NOVALIE GREENS AS HIS GIRLFRIEND." Lindsay read out and Wendy burst into laughter.
"Another headline: TODAY NOVALIE GREENS PROVED SHE CAN BE A FIRST LADY." Wendy read.
"We don't need these newspapers to tell us what's up with them in Washington DC." Lindsay threw it away.
"I know right, Amanda is really doing a good job."
"TELL ME ABOUT IT!!! I can't count how many times they've kissed already." Lindsay cackled.
"Poor guy. He doesn't know its Amanda...." Someone barged in and the girls fell from their chairs on seeing Maya's scary glare.
"ARE YOU SCARED?" Maya asked with a dark voice.
"i am never scared of anything, little miss Amaya."
"WHAT IS THAT AMANDA DOING?? WINNING ROMAN OVER AND EVEN EVERYONE IN WASHINGTON??? SHE'LL PAY FOR IT!"
"Save it, Amaya. We all know Roman doesn't love you." Wendy snapped as Amaya stormed off.
"I think she's going to do something idiotic again..." Maya walked to the court. Her mother Maurine wasn't there.
"Amanda is just a maid's daughter! I am the Princess!" She thought angrily, but not able to concentrate. Ten different people were talking in her head. As soon as she set her eyes on unconscious Nova, the people in her head died.
"Novalie....." She put on a smug smile as she walked towards her.
"Novalie Greens...isn't it..." She touched her, as she closed her eyes and started chanting some words. Soon, the cold left her body, and her numb hands started to move, she slowly opened her eyes.
"R...R....Roman...is that you?" Novalie got up, unable to recall anything. She held Amaya's hand. They were cold and soft.
"Who are you? Why is everything colored black? I..." She stared at the ceiling, and then Amaya's eyes.
"Hi Nova. Am sure you woke up earlier, but you can't remember right?" Maya asked.
"Oh yeah, i do remember. Am...am confused." Nova sat up and folded her arms.
"Okay. I'll make everything clear. You see, no one here is normal. We have psychic abilities, a bunch of brain problems, that you might not understand. My name is Princess Maya. Am Queen Maurine's best friends' daughter."
"Ohhh, that woman..."
"Yup. Queen Maurine has five children; Princess Wendy, Princess Lindsay, Princess Lola, Prince Connor and Prince Roman. ah....Prince roman the love of my life. My prince...my world...without him, am incomplete. I'll die without Prince roman in my life...ah...i remember when he kissed me...ah..."
"STOP! WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU SAYING? WHEN DID ROMAN KISS YOU? WE ATTENDED THE SAME FREAKING HIGH SCHOOL!" Novalie yelled at her.
"Didn't you say you were confused? Listen. Amanda here, is just a maid's daughter who was taken in by queen Maurine because of her beauty. I loved Prince roman first. We were dating. But then Amanda came out of the blue and took him away from me."
"Yeah, so?? Okay, you guys dated, and he attended our high school at the same time by strange psychic abilities?" Nova asked.
"You got that right, angel."
"But wait...who is Stacie? And how did Stacie become Amanda's cousin? Is Stacie a psychic?"
"Stacie...stacie...stacie.. Stacie was born into a rich family, the woman of the house, was actually Amanda's mother's sister which made them cousins. Father and mother were psychics, but Stacie didn't seem to have any psychic abilities. Instead she was dumb, silly and clumsy. She never really had friends, but they flew off to the country, where they had a fresh life of business opportunities, and school life, they never really thought about their daughter's future as an unusual person. Then, she met you, and life became the best."
"hm." Nova sighed.
"so Nova, i want you to help me." Nova tried her best not to sigh but ended up sighing again.
