Later that day, Bella was in her room getting ready with Scarlett, Tabitha, and Hallie. She asked them to join her for tea and makeovers for the party. "I can't believe this is happening. In just a few hours, I'll be an official princess. It's probably crazy but, all I can think about is Jett. Scarlett, he asked me to be his girlfriend. I don't know about this long-distance thing, but I want to try. I'm really falling for him."
Scarlett's mother, Tabitha, looked at her with concern. Pulling out the motherly advice, she said, "Bella, sweetie, I want you and Jett to think about this. I can see you both are head-over-heels for each other, but once you take that crown, that will mean you can't be together if you ever wanted to marry. Are you willing to accept that?"
