Ellie
I knew they were desperate when they called me. I wasn’t
anyone’s definition of a princess. No matter how much
makeup I applied or which wig I was forced to wear, I
could never get it right. It was going to be a role I’d struggled
to play.

So to be here, hustling down the long hotel hallway with
my arms full of tulle, bags of fabric and fake hair, was really
saying something. Blowing a fluffy scarf away from my
sweaty face, I strained to see over my collection of stuff. I
was hoping to hear the chaos of the other party princesses,
but the floor was absurdly quiet.
Maybe I was the first one to arrive? Seemed a bit strange,
but I did like to be punctual.
This party was a big deal—or so I had been told
repeatedly by my friend Tallie. This was a princess party for
an actual princess. It was mind-blowing…and a little weird.
When I thought of a princess having a birthday party, I
didn’t imagine them surrounded by happy, singsong,
cartoon-inspired, pastel-wearing women. But then again,
kids are kids, and they’re going to like whatever the heck
they like.
I’m beyond thrilled that singing isn’t part of my role here
today. I was called in only because half of Tallie’s staff had
come down with a spring flu thanks to a Moana-themed
party last weekend.
Turning the last corner, I give a sigh of relief when I see a
man in a black suit standing at the end of the hallway. I’ve
finally arrived. Thank goodness. My arms were about to give
out under the weight of this costume.
I was under strict instructions from Tallie to get to the
suite that had been booked for us, get dressed and wait for
my prince to show up. Well, not my prince per se. But the
prince who was hired for today’s birthday. I would be one of
three (fake) princesses at the party but there would be only
one charming prince.
This is not my first stint at being a fake princess—Tallie
has blackmailed me in to two previous parties last year. Her
confidence in me is nice, but misplaced.
“Hey. Hi. Hello,
” I say to the man-statue by the door as I
approach. “I’m Ellie. I’m here for the prince and to get ready
for the party.”
His eyes flick to me. I get the oddest sensation from the
slight incline of his brow that I’ve somehow surprised this
man, but the feeling quickly passes. We stand, staring at
each other, neither one of us backing down or blinking.
Unsure if I’m waiting for him to grant me approval or if
he’s waiting for me to carry on, I continue to stare up at him.
When our silence goes from funny to awkward, and I’m
about to burst, the man puts me out of my misery and nods.
I’m a sweaty mess by this point, and he continues to take
pity on me by turning and opening the door. I give him a
strained smile and a little curtsy—I’m getting into character!
