Disclaimers: I do not own any of these characters. Do not sue, for I am a poor woman, with only my computer for fun.
Author’s Note: This is an AU of sorts, and my first attempt at either of these fandoms. This will be based more on the movies than the novels, and I will be changing some things around to suit the purposes of the story. Reviews and constructive criticism are always welcome. Now for a little background information, before dumping you wonderful readers into the story. Andy Sachs is an alias used for the princess Mia Thermopolis of Genovia in order to go to college without all the publicity. Her grandmother wanted her to take the job at Runway because she felt that her granddaughter could benefit from observing Miranda’s management style.
While in Paris, her grandmother informed her that it was time for her to return to Genovia and take the throne. She did not return to New York, leaving Miranda extremely upset and perplexed. When Miranda returned to the office, Irv informed her, that the Dowager Princess Clarisse Marie Renaldi has requested her and Runway to cover the coronation of her granddaughter.
Upon arriving in Genovia, the Dowager Princess greets Miranda, and they discuss the details, one of which is that they will not meet or see the princess until after the coronation. At the said coronation, Miranda and crew are shocked to see that the princess, now new queen is none other than the missing Andrea Sachs.
Prologue:
Miranda looked around at the opulent settings where they were currently seated. The invitation to be at the coronation was a surprise, and she wondered why they had front row seats. Her critical eye picked apart the outfits of the VIP and royalty seated around her, and she made a mental note to incorporate some of the things in Runway’s next issue. The small orchestra had started to play and brought her attention from her mental meanderings to the event at hand.
Everyone stood as the princess entered, and Miranda was irritated at how long it was taking the girl to make her way down the isle to the awaiting officials. When the princess’ approach brought the girl close to her seat, a sense of foreboding overtook Miranda’s being, and when the girl came into view, she realized the reason why. The sharp breath from her left informed her that Nigel noticed what her brain was trying desperately to process. The fact that her ex-second assistant Andrea Sachs was standing on that dias, in front of a throne, next to the Dowager Princess Clarisse Marie Renaldi, waiting for the ceremony to end and be crowned Queen.
Miranda had almost convinced herself that it was one of those doppelganger situations, until the girl in question spoke, and she heard the voice that had been haunting her dreams, as well as her nightmares. She idly wondered in her shock if Emily’s book had Genovian queen as one of the bets in the pool. All of those thoughts then were pushed aside, when Andrea turned to face the crowd. The officiator had finished the ceremony and was holding the crown over her head, when the brown eyes scanning the crowd met hers. Those few seconds before the crown was placed, stretched for a small eternity, and then it was over. The crown was placed on Andrea’s head, and “May I present to you, Her Royal Highness Queen Amelia Mignonette Grimaldi Thermopolis Renaldi." was heard.
