Contributed by Alice W.~ July 29, 1998


....."Lets go to a night club or a really cool resturant." Serena said with a exciting smile. William hesitated, and then replied, "Do you know a place where I have absolutely no chance of being recognised?" Serena was sort of puzzled, and thought to herself, if this guy has been on the news and everywhere, who's not going to recognise him? "geeh, your royal highness, why don't you tell me?" Serena said rather rudely. "Well how am I suppose to know? The places I go, people will know me." said William. "No.... really?" replied Serena sarcastically.
.....A pause between the two occured, and they both seemed a little mad at each other.
....."You know what? Lets just forget about this, I want to go home now. I want to crawl back onto that stage. I want to re-enter this British soap opera, as it has been called, and play my part like a little Sesame Street puppet controled by the Establishment! I am going to live my life every year with the next year planned for me in advance just like my father, my grandmother, my great grandfather, my great-grand uncle (Duke of Windsor, the one who abdicated his throne.), and my great-great grandparents beyond for the last one thousand years!" William said this in a rage of candidness.
.....Serena was struck dumb with that outburst. She couldn't believe what she heard. After all, Prince William was just talking about going out for dinner momments before, and now he's suddenly shifted into this really stressed teenager.
.....Finally, she started in a calming voice, "Your Highness, I am sorry, I didn't mean to be sarcastic, or unsupportive of your plans to go out and be a normal person. I guess I must have been superficial and quick to judge your personality. And now, thats going to be even harder to say. I guess I thought you were just really stuffed up, and wanted to escape. I had no idea that you had such a pesimistic view of your life."
....."Pesimistic view? I think of it as a realistic view, and just now, i must have been too excited to go out. That, for the moment, swung this feeling to the back of my head. It felt great for the time being, but now, I feel ashamed that I was so unrestrained that i wanted to just go and live the easy life."
....."Are you unhappy about your life?" asked Serena.
....."No, I am not. God placed me in this position, and I should be thankful that he did. Even though that belief is quite contrary to the implications of that out burst i just had. Its the ever lasting confict that goes on in me." ....."Well your Highness, I don't know what to say. What do you want to do now? Do you still want to go for dinner, or should we take a cab for Buckingham Palace?"
.....William stood in thought for a while. "Well, normal people wouldn't really understand right now. I guess you truely have to be me, to know me. I don't know, I think I should go home, the longer I stay out here, the more trouble I'll face when I do go back."
....."Wait a minute, do you remember everything now? Like EVERYTHING? Including your past, your present standing, and what happend?" asked Serena.
....."I can't remember what happend with the wrech, but i do remember driving out for a spin. I think i had temporary amnesia. I do remember everything about me though." Said William, feeling a slight dased as he tried to remember the wrech. The Serena spoke. " Oh God, what am I going to do now? Can you just go home and tell them you were just wandering around and suddenly remembered when you saw yourself on the TV? I don't want to be included in any of this ok?"
....."Of course you don't, the last thing I or you want to do is have you be pushed into the limelight. I would be better off just telling them what you wanted me to say than try to explain the truth." Then the doorbell rang again.
....."Oh my God! Who is it now?" cried Serena in terror.
....."Open the door please, this is the MI5 (the Scotland Yard version of the Secret Service)," a voice from the other side claimed. Serena was frozen still. Are these the same guys they saw at the park, or are these the real MI5?
....."What should I do?" asked Serena.
....."Let me see" said Prince William as he peaked through the door hole. Then he turned to her and said "oh thats my body guard. Open the door for him." Serena did as she was told. three men walked in and several stood outside the door.
....."Oh my goodness, thank God you are alright. Who is this young lady?" inquired the man. Prince William stood in thought for a few seconds and then he decided to tell the truth.
....."Well, after the car wrech, i had amensia and she recognised me and told me. Then she took care of me. By the way, did you guys send some people to look after me already?" asked the Prince. To this the MI5 replied, "No, we haven't. We tracked you down by your locator. You know, the tiny chip on the back of your neck? Don't tell me that amnesia hasen't worn off yet."
....."Oh yeah, i didn't think about that." replied Prince William."Yeah you did, we even checked your ankel," Serena said. "We did?" asked Prince William.
....."Come on your Highness, lets bring you home," said the MI5 officer. "and as for you, young lady, I think we are going to have to notify your parents. So please come with us."
.....Serena felt like she was going to faint. Whats going to happen to her?
.....They walked outside her house and there was like a million cameras and TV reporters waiting to get a chance to talk to her. The MI5 people helped to get both into the car and they drove back to Buckingham Palace.
....."Whats going to happen to me now? Iam nothing but a commoner, and what are they going to say? Can you have a commoner as a friend? Will I still be a friend or will I be called the Prince William kidnapper?" asked Serena.
