" You might want to see this." Jack stood in the doorway of Nicola's room. Nicola nodded and slowly pulled away from Steve, she got up and gently helped Steve onto his feet.

"I'm coming." Nicola replied as Steve clinged onto her for support. She looked down at Steve and gave him a loving smile. "Would you like to stay here and rest?"

Steve silently nodded and - with Nicola's help - made his way over to her bed. With Nicola's help, he propped himself onto the bed and let Nicola tuck him in.

"Rest well." She leaned over his small body and kissed his forehead. Nicola then turned to Jack and held out her arm. "Shall we go?"

Jack smiled and took her arm. "We shall." He then lead her down to the throne room.

***

Jack opened the door to the throne room, inside King Aagney and Queen Azalia sat at their thrones speaking with people with cameras and microphones. Amar stood off to the side and glanced at Nicola and Jack as they entered the room.

"Is this you're doing?" Amar asked Jack politely. Jack looked confused at the advisor and walked over to him.

"I'm not sure I know what you mean." Jack responded to him as he leaned against the wall that Amar stood at.

"Did you draw the news here?" Amar stated sternly and annoyed.

"No." Jack replied coldly towards Amar. Nicola stepped in between the two males.

"Please don't fight." She mumbled before joining her parents at the throne. Amar and Hack just glared at each other. Nicola decided that they could be such babies at times.

The news reporters asked the royal family tons of questions. King Aagney and Queen Azalia seemed to handle it all well. There wasn't a question the king or queen could not answer without flaw. Nicola just sat back and watched her parents answer the questions. Every now and then she would glance over at Jack and Amar who seemed to be behaving themselves. Nicola smiled. The two seemed to not like each other one bit, but with her around, they at least pretended to be friends.

"Princess." One of the reporters caught Nicola's undivided attention. "What are your thoughts on today's society?" Nicola glanced at her parents for advice. Would she answer the way her parents would prefer or answer the way she wants to.

"Well..." Nicola began, still deciding how to respond to the question. "Today's society is perfect under my father's ruling. Now, if you'll excuse me. I need to go." Nicola stood up and headed for the door. She briefly turned back to look at Jack and Amar before heading back to her room. Moments after she left, the news reporters left leaving Jack, Amar, Aagney and Azalia in the throne room.

Nicola sat on the edge of her bed and watched Steve as he slept peacefully. She gently brushed Steve's hair, she found him so peaceful.

"What am I gonna do?" Nicola mumbled stroking Steve's head. Steve opened his eyes and looked at Nicola. Nicola had tears in her eyes and was mumbling about something that Steve did not understand. She would gently stroke his head in a circular motion.

"Be yourself." Steve mumbled catching Nicola's attention.

"How?" She looked at him. "Soon I'll be expected to rule, but I can't even stand up to my parents..."

"Believe in yourself, and you can do anything." Nicola smiled and he smiled back at her.

"Thank you Steve. And goodnight." She pat his head and laid back closing her eyes, slowly drifting off to sleep.

Steve wanted to help Nicola. Carefully, Steve slipped away from Nicola without disturbing her.

"Let's change the world...together."
