It was the holiday season and everyone was going home for a week. Gilly however, was staying at school. Of course she loved her family, but it was heartbreaking to be home with Anna not there. 

Gilly had gone to Jax's room the day Maxine was packing. She felt jealous that her friend got to go home to a full family. As she walked in, she noticed her best friend was already packed. 

"So, are you excited to go home?" she asked, a hint of sourness to her voice.

Jax noticed, "I guess. I'm really going to miss you thief." then an idea struck him. "You should come tho the castle with me! It would be so much fun, I could show you around and you could meet every one, we could do anything we wanted! Oh Gilly, pleaseeeee come!"

Gilly smiled, "Of course! Jax that sounds amazing! But, would i even be allowed? I remember Ollie wasn't allowed to go home with you that one weekend."

Jax furrowed his brow, "Oh right... Hey! What if we just pretended we were dating? Then you'd be allowed to come! Raz already thinks we're dating so it wouldn't be too far fetched... unless you'd be uncomfortable."

"I think we could pull it off! This is going to be so fun!" 

Jax smiled. He kind of felt bad, since he had a huge crush on Gilly, but she did agree. He sighed as she left the room to go pack her bags. He wondered how much trouble he'd get in if his father found out he wasn't actually dating Gilly. He'd always been a bad liar...

Gilly grabbed Jax's hand as the carriage landed to add affect. They planned to ask Jax's father to try to keep their "relationship" a secret so a false word wouldn't get out to the press. They stepped out and a footman led them to the entry hall. As they walked in, they were greeted by a long (really long) haired princess, as well as a tall man with sandy blonde hair.

"Gilly? What are you doing-" Raz's eyes trailed down to the two's intertwined hands.Then a huge smile was plastered onto her face. "Gilly, Jax, lovely to see you too."

Jax's father took a step towards Gilly. "So, you're the famous Gilly. I've seen you in the papers, and Jax talks about you all the time, it feels like I already know you. Although it is good to finally meet you in person. I take it Jax has been well to you?" 

Jax turned a deep shade of red and stared at the floor. Gilly giggled, "Oh, of course! He's always been so very charming." She grinned widely and pretended to steal a glance of her "boyfriend." Well Jax thought she was pretending.

"That's wonderful to hear! I suppose you two could share a room, Jax if you'd like to show her around, I'll be in the study with your sister." He walked away, the princess close behind him. 

"Oh this'll be so cool! Last time I was in a royal castle, we were almost toasted to smithereens. C'mon show me around!" Gilly could feel the excitement rushing through her as Jax led her through endless hallways. She was fascinated about almost everything, and only thought about swiping something twice.

They finally reached their last stop after about an hour long castle tour. When they stepped into Jax's room Gilly's breath was taken away. The room was huge for starters. It even had it's own full bathroom. The walls were a sky blue, with classic fairy tales painted on them. The bed was large enough for three people to be sprawled out and was made from mahogany. 

Jax laughed awkwardly, "So, this is my room..."

"It's... wow."

Jax grabbed Gilly's hand and took her too the bed. When she sat down, she could feel herself sinking into what she concluded to be memory foam. Jax took his shoes off and stood on the bed. Gilly stared at him until he urged her to do the same. She cautiously stood up and he grabbed her waist when she seemed to lose her balance, causing both of them to blush.
