Barbie as the Island Princess Page #3

---

Consider our home your home.

Oh, I already do.

(LAUGHS)

Did I mention that my darling Luciana

is an accomplished harpist?

I started her as soon as she could sit up.

Mother.

Stop slouching.

Ow!

(WHISPERING) Watch me.

Thank you.

Ro grew up on an island in the South Seas.

Really, you could hardly tell.

Look how charming your little monkey is.

Such wonderful manners.

And she's a monkey!

Sweetheart, tell Prince Antonio

about your watercolors.

Perhaps another time, Mother.

Don't be modest.

Go on, you love to paint.

I do.

The colors seem to come to life on the page.

MAN:
Whoa!

Oh my! So sorry, Miss.

I... I should go.

Ro, wait.

Antonio. Let her go.

She needs a moment to herself.

You look the way I feel.

Everything I do here is wrong.

It's magic when you are here beside me

Close your eyes and let me hold you tight

Everything that I could ever need is

Right here in my arms tonight

Oh, pardon me.

Tallulah! Hello.

I didn't mean to intrude.

Want one?

Without a knife and fork?

Don't be ridiculous.

Just one bite?

Well, if you insist. Just one.

Oh, mmm!

My brother and I used to climb trees

to pick these.

See the ripe one on the top branch?

It's all yours.

You mean climb up there?

I'll hold your tiara so it won't fall off.

Thank you but, well,

it's just, I've forgotten how.

Forgotten how to climb?

We can fix that.

What do you enjoy most

on your travels, Your Highness?

Everything.

Following the wind.

Discovering something new

around the next bay.

Don't you miss the comforts of home?

No, not when I can sleep under the open sky.

The Royal Stable.

Oh! Pigs! Nasty little things.

Get away! Get away!

I'm so sorry.

Don't worry about a thing. I'm fine.

Where's that well?

Oh! Look what they've done.

The only good pig is one on a plate.

Let me help, Mother.

Odd, isn't it?

Queen Ariana knew exactly

where to find the well,

even though she's never been here before.

It is a bit odd.

(TALLULAH CHATTERING)

I forgot how fun this is!

(LAUGHS)

Looking good, Tallulah.

You're a natural.

Not another word against Queen Ariana.

You're marrying Princess Luciana

and that's final.

RO:
I told you it was fun.

(RO LAUGHING)

You look beautiful.

What about your tiara?

(RITA LAUGHS)

Now you're ready for the Ball.

I wish we could take you, Tika.

We'll come visit you tomorrow.

SOFIA:
Bye.

GINA:
Bye, Tika.

Look at you.

The little princesses dressed me up

for the Royal Engagement Ball.

What's that?

Everybody knows a Royal Ball

is big and round like a coconut.

Are you certain, Your Highness?

AZUL:
Absolutely.

Then we know what it isn't.

I resent that.

It's a big dance to congratulate

Prince Antonio and Princess Luciana.

AZUL:
Ro should never go to that.

On the contrary...

No, Sagi. No ball.

Why not?

I've been embarrassed enough.

You know what the King and Queen think.

The strange island girl.

You just need to show them

you're every bit as royal as they are.

I can promise that the ball

will be a lot of fun.

I can teach you everything you need to know.

And that includes what I should wear?

BOTH:
Leave that to me!

Skirts that billow, sleeves that tie

Are the only things to wear at the Ball

Tease your hair up three feet high

If you want to show your flair

at the Ball

Why wear what those

stuffy girls are wearing?

I think seaweed wraps

are quite the height of style

Pineapple is naturally daring

Wear a fruit cup and a smile

Hmm:
That's it!

Something satin, throw a hat in

And a purple parasol

That's how to make an entrance

at the Ball

In a panic think organic

Look at this

One size fits all!

Now you can be the beauty at the Ball

I think you should lose the

silly nest thing

No way

I'm the one who's been to these before

I know orange taffeta's the best thing

Yes

The best thing to ignore!

Skirt!

Dress!

Loose!

Tight!

More!

Less!

Drab!

Bright!

No! Black!

Yes! White!

RO:
Stop!

There is something good

in what you're saying

I know if I go I want to look my best

And you're right,

my choices should reflect me

But I can't be underdressed

I look nice in Island blue

I can find you some of that by the wall!

Vine designs all curlicue

I will sketch you all the

shapes I recall!

Something pink is fun to try

You can use this as a wrap or a shawl

Sparkle like the evening sky!

And with this you're guaranteed

to enthrall

Perfect.

Well, almost.

There's something missing.

Ro, please accept these

Do you think they'll do?

Azul, your gift makes this

a dream come true

Now you'll take their breath away

We can see you'll be the jewel

of them all

Last of all a rose bouquet

You're going to have a great time at

I'm going to have a great time at

You're going to have a great

time at the ball

Tell me...

Do you...

What else do you enjoy,

besides the harp, Your Highness?

Well, I love opera.

Do you?

Not exactly.

How do you spend your spare time?

When you're not sailing, of course.

Outdoors if I can. Do you like to ride? Hike?

Not exactly.

Oh! Such a striking couple.

No one can take their eyes off of you.

Their eyes must be

for your beautiful daughter.

If you'll excuse me.

(LAUGHING)

Whoa, whoa. Don't I get my dance?

(LAUGHING)

Oh.

Wow.

(ALL GASPING)

Is that Ro?

That's the prettiest dress I've ever seen.

I'm so glad you're here.

May I have this dance?

No. No. Look at all these people.

They've seen dancing before.

I have no idea what I'm doing.

Any girl who faces down crocodiles

can handle a dance with me.

Just follow your instincts.

It's going even better than I hoped!

With those feathers, who could resist her?

Ro sure looks happy.

Where are you going, Sagi?

To check on something. I'll only be a minute.

Goodness me. Is that the island girl?

Such a beautiful ball gown.

I thought we had an arrangement,

Your Highness.

We do.

My mother always told me

never put off till tomorrow

what can be done today.

We should move up the wedding

to prevent any distractions.

I see your point.

Ro. I want you to stay with me.

I...

I can't. Princess Luciana...

She's very nice, but...

You belong together.

I shouldn't have come.

Goodbye, Antonio.

You don't understand.

Please don't make this any harder.

Why is everything so complicated?

SAGl:
Life is full of change.

Most of it good. But not always easy.

I need to know who I am.

Where I belong.

Why I can't remember anything

before I came to the island.

I found something tonight.

See that flag, there.

RO:
With the rose?

Yes. Azul and I found a similar flag

washed ashore

when you came from the sea.

I never knew that.

I didn't know it mattered until tonight.

It could be from the ship I sailed on.

Excuse me, this flag, where's it from?

The proud kingdom of Paladia.

And how far away is that?

A two day's ride,

including the river crossing

and that rocky path to the north...

You can actually understand me?

Yes. Whom did you bring tonight?

The Duke and Duchess.

Do you know...
