3.7 ARRESTED

Note: From here on out..when I refer to the Berjsen's family So that Daupin  Harley's great-grandparents were Emperor and Empress Consort (which is the same thing as Queen Consort), Kelly is an Empresses Regnant (same as a Queen Regnant) Dauphin/Dauphin (is the heir to the throne of Windenburg but this will change at the end of Gen 5)

 Dec 31st 1966- Jan 1st 1967

Dear diary,  why did I fall AGAIN for Empress Kelly's lies? This time I'm in some jail cell for supposedly stealing the Cursed Diamond of Al Simhara. I don't even know what that IS and even if I did know why the f- would I do with it?  I should start at the beginning.

Well on Dec 28th Empress Kelly sat me down on a couch and said "Well since you did so well, I think we should get you a make-over to make you more appropriate dress in the status of Dauphin Harley's future Empresses Consort" I asked "Does that mean I wouldn't have to do all the housework anymore?"  Kelly said "That's right" So I went with her to a Beauty Salon and she talked to one of the owners I didn't hear what she said.  The first stylist took me into the room and dressed me up in a very weird way- a red vest and red jeans which showed a little of my tummy. Then after Kelly approved of that outfit- the other owner took me and changed my hair into this ponytail style.

On Dec 31st Dauphin Harley took me out on our first date in two years. Then we went clubbing I don't remember much very well.. I got very drunk on the wines he kept giving me.  I remember throwing up in the toilet, but I don't remember anything else until I woke up in Magnolia Blossom in Willow Creek and I was tussled up like some kind of animal.  With a bit of difficultly I was able to get out of the ropes- I then found a payphone and called the Berjsens but they didn't answer the phone.  I found my way back to Windenburg-hopefully the Goths don't mind having to pay my train and plane fare to get back to Windenburg-I put it on their tab

I went to Cousin Darwin's house, the homeless shelter which I heard my  my grandma Clarissa  as a young woman frequented, until she got tricked by Harley's great-grandma, Empress Consort Clara, into having the lot our house is currently on.  I just was getting some food into my stomach when an Officer, Officer Fogel, marched into the shelter and said "America Swanson, You're under arrest for the stealing of the Cursed Diamond of Al Simhara!"  I knew it was pointless to argue, since everyone in the world, know I'm a mutt so they think I'm some kind of thief.

Across the World in Oasis Springs, Prince David woke up to his second dream about America is in trouble. His twin sister  Princess Haylee heard him scream as he woke up so she came in and said "You had another dream about America Swanson didn't you?" David couldn't speak so Haylee just sat on the bed with him.  I have a copy of today's newspaper somehow Dad got an early one and  once again you're right..and America Swanson is in really big trouble at the moment" 

3.4 Isolation Part 2

1965

Dear diarry.., you're my only friend at the moment.  I been such a fool but I was so blinded by the love that Harley was showing that I refused to see when he behaved badly.   I should start at the beginning?

Because I was spending so much time at the Berjsens' that Queen Kelly  encouraged me and Prince Harley to date. I was so blind to Harley's behaviour I didn't realize he was getting me to steal some stuff like at the beginning it was just was books..and as young as we were he made me steal a rabbit item from a motel we were vacationing before having some woohoo time.   After Opa Bai died,  Harley comforted me.. and he was my date to Opa's funeral.  Sometimes I wonder if he just liked to woohoo with me.    

About three month ago he told me to try to see a display tray of items in a Coffee house  but I didn't  because the employee  told me to get out of the employee-only area so I did.  Despite us being in broad public Harley started yelling at me saying "I can't do anything right" and "Mother's right you're a dirty mutt"  but then he embraced me and then asked me to be his GF and I accepted.  But after I got home  Lucy yelled at me 'BECAUSE OF YOU I'M NOT WELCOME IN MY FAVOURITE STORES ANYMORE! EITHER THAT OR I'M FOLLOWED AROUND LIKE CRIMINAL!!"

Then about two months ago that Harley wanted me to steal a precious kind of gnome.. he didn't tell me what the big deal was.  But he said "If you don't do this I'm dumping you..you have to make sure no one sees you ok? "  I tried collecting the said gnome but I got confronted by the owner and I guess some employees had called the cops so there I am running and I'm knocked down by this cop and he said "You're under arrest for repeated shop lifting attempts.. being trying to get at you for months"  I had to sleep overnight at the jail

Prince Harley then came to the jail in the early hours of the morning and told the cop on duty "I'm here to bail out America Swanson."  and the cop let me out.  As we were getting read to leave Prince David Landgrabbie came into the society.   Prince Harley said to David "I thought if you were any slower you would be here next WEDNESDAY!!"  and "I thought it was your SISTER who was the slow one not YOU."   and "She's my property, not yours.. our parents insisted for us to get married when we're older."   David and my eyes caught each other as I left.. like they were saying he's going to wait for me.

But  it got WORSE  after school.. and after Mom got home from work.. Mom was furious about what was in the newspaper.  "MY OWN DAUGHTER A THIEF?  DO YOU KNOW WHAT ITS LIKE HAVING TO HEAR IT FROM MY NIECES ABOUT THIS? SEE THIS NEWSPAPER ARTICLE" and she added "AFTER YOU READ THIS GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!!"

I read the article and then went to the Rex's homeless shelter nearby to use their phone to call the Berjsens.  Prince Harley answer  and said "Hello,  this is Prince Harley how may I help you?"  I said "It's me America, my Mom kicked me out of my house.. can I stay with your family?"  He was silent for a couple of mintues (I guess checking with his Mom?) and he said "Mom's says you can."

I then went over to the royal place and Queen Kelley meet me and she told me that "I am allowing you in this home but only under one condition. you do some chores I assign for you. Is that fair?"  I agreed with it.  Then she told me she had some nieces waiting for me upstairs.  They forced me into a chair took off all my make-up and then took my clothes for themselves and forced me into a sort of Cinderella outfit.  When I came back I realized I had been tricked because the chores was basically what you expect Cinderella to do. Basically EVERYTHING and I also had to keep the grades up as well.  I don't even get a bed!! I have to sleep on the couch!!

By the end of the week I was exhausted..   and I can't complain.... or else it means the streets for me. I don't have a choice
