Misty was so excited that she was going to go see the mortal realm. She was half mortal anyway, but no one knew that in Halloweentown. She had learned everything about how to act like a mortal, so she guessed she was ready for this. It was her first day in junior high, the name of the school was East Side Junior High in Albuquerque, and she had big dreams. She just wore a simple outfit to go to school in, and was at the bus stop, waiting for the bus.

Another girl came, she looked familiar, but Misty brushed it off, until the girl said, "Hi, I'm Brenda, you must be Misty." Misty looked at her, how did she know her name, but then she remembered that her mother said other magical people could be here. A locket just like her's was strung around her neck, and Misty knew she was never to open those lockets. Then another girl rounded the corner, and said, "Hi Brenda. Did you meet Misty?" Brenda nodded, and said, "Misty, this is Hilary." Hilary also had the same locket.

Misty said, "Nice to meet you. I think the bus is coming." Sure enough, the bus came about a minute after she said that, and they looked at her surprised. They boarded the bus, and Misty looked around, and asked George Piper, not knowing who he was, "May I sit here?" He looked at her, about to refuse, but after looking at her, he smiled and said, "Sure." Sally just glared at her, mad, but she knew Misty wasn't someone to be messed with, even though she never had been to Halloweentown, only heard about it from her mother.

She filed her nails and said to Monica, "I ask him last stop if I could sit there and he said no! That prince so doesn't know what he's missing!" Monica nodded; she was in a very deep conversation with Corbin. Jack was just looking around, not really sure about what to do, even though as captain of the basketball team, you would think he would have a girlfriend by now. He looked at Mary for a moment and then just decided to enjoy the ride, even though that new girl did take a good spot that some other girls wanted.

Misty said to George, "I'm Misty, can I ask you what your name is?" He looked at her, wondering why she wouldn't know who the prince of England was, and he said, "I'm Prince George, well, not a prince anymore, since I'm in America, but it is nice meet you." Misty smiled, and George was starting to blush, and she said, "You were a prince? Who's running your country now?" George smiled; she seemed really interested in current events, unlike those cheerleaders who were now discussing the importance of having good nails.

"My brother is running England now. He has to be doing a good job, or we would have already had a war by now," said George. Misty looked at him and said, "Well, was it hard to run a large land like England?" George smiled and said, "Well, it isn't as big as America, but it is pretty large. It wasn't all that hard, since we don't really do much except attend state and country functions." Misty smiled again, she liked him already. She didn't know why, he just seemed so nice. "Well, what was it like living inside a palace?" George knew this question; she seemed truly interested, however, unlike some girls, so he answered honestly, "Most girls think that it's all glamour, but to be truthful, it's not as good as it once was once you have it. Also, I got lost several times because there are so many unnecessary rooms."

Misty nodded, and said, "Well, that makes sense. Everyone thinks something is good until they have it, and my mother would always say how she didn't like what she had so she decided to give it all up. She also said that lots of things may seem like a good idea until they actually happen to you." Misty was actually very smart, mostly due the magic inside her blood, which gave her more potential to succeed at whatever she wants. George was surprised that there were actually some American girls who actually care about things other than what's happening in Hollywood (A/N: this I will admit: I too am obsessed with what's going on in Hollywood. And other American girls should not deny this, because I know you!).

a/n This is just the beginning of the prequel. So stay tuned!
