Barbie as the Princess and the Pauper Page #2

arrived with a gift for you.

The Ambassador?

He's here already?

On behalf of King Dominick...

I present this engagement gift to you.

Oh! Thank you, Ambassador! Princess

Anneliese will be quite pleased.

May I enquire, Your Excellency, if

you've set a date for the wedding?

Will a week from today do?

Ah! Next week?

A most wise and thoughtful

decision, Your Majesty.

Excellent.

I will... er, send for King Dominick,

so that he may meet his new bride.

So happy.

Free to do whatever they want.

What do you think King

Dominick will be like?

Oh I'm sure he'll be... suitable.

Oh, I know it's the right thing to marry

him, but sometimes I wish... well...

Apparently he's a lover of music.

He plays 3 different instruments.

The dulcimer, the

trumpet, and the piano.

Anneliese...

you're going to need your cape.

I am?

Why?

There's nothing like some fresh

air and a change of scenery.

I wish it were that simple.

Come on, Serafina.

Ah, it feels so good to be

outside the castle walls.

Nobody knows who I am.

So, which one was your house?

More of a room, really.

We couldn't afford a house.

- Oh, I didn't mean...

- I know.

Third floor on the left.

Did all my studies there.

A perfect example of 'rosa centifolia'.

My favorite!

But, you knew that.

Mmm, that smells delicous.

I'll be right back.

Like a bird that

flies in the morning light

Or a butterfly in the spring

When your spirit rides

on the wings of hope

You'll find your wings

Let's go listen, Serafina.

For you're

always free to begin again

And you're always free to believe

May you find your place

and your heart become...

G'day.

Madame Carp!

Wait, I earned that!

And you owe me. Did you really think

you could make a living as a singer?

Get back to work, girl,

or there'll be trouble.

- What a beautiful song.

- Thanks.

My Mom taught it... to... me.

Whoa.

We could be sisters.

- What's your name?

- What's your name?

- You first.

- Please, call me Anneliese.

Anneliese? You have the

same name as the Princess.

- Well...

- Oh.

I'm Erika, Your Highness.

Aren't you supposed to

be inside the castle?

I'm savoring a first and last taste of

freedom before getting married next week...

to a total stranger.

At least you're not an indentured servant.

Indentured servant?

If I'd like to have my breakfast hot

Madame Carp will make me pay

And I have to fetch the eggs myself

And the barn's a mile away

It's cold and wet and still I get

An omlette on my plate

But in my head I'm back in bed

Snuggled up and sleeping late.

- Really?

- Really, but it's alright.

I mean, I'm used to it.

And you?

- Well...

- Well?

If I want some eggs I ring the bell

And the maid comes running in.

And she serves them on a silver tray

And she brings a cookie tin.

And while I eat, she rubs my feet

And strolling minstrels play

But I'd rather be in my library

reading science books all day.

- I'm just like you

- You are?

You're just like me

There's somewhere else we'd rather be.

Somewhere that's ours

Somewhere that dreams come true

Yes, I am a girl like you.

You'd never think that it was so

But now I've met you and I know

It's plain as day, sure as the sky is blue

That I am a girl like you.

So! You're a singer?

No, I work at Madame

Carp's penitentiary.

- Uh, I mean Dress Emporium.

- I love Madame Carp's Dresses!

I made the one you're wearing.

You made this? It's my favorite.

- The design looks so complicated!

- Oh, but it isn't, really...

First I choose a fabric from the rack

And I pin the pattern down

And I stitch it in the front and back

And it turns into a gown.

I wear the gown, without my crown

And dance around my room.

And imagine life without the

strife of an unfamiliar groom.

But I'd never let my Mother know.

I wouldn't want to disappoint her.

I completely understand.

- I'm just like you

- I think that's true

- You're just like me

- Yes, I can see

We take responsibility.

We carry through/ We carry through

Do what we need to do

Yes, I am a girl like you

I'm just like you/I'm just like you

You're just like me/You're just like me

It's something anyone can see

- A heart that beats

- A heart that beats

A voice that speaks the truth

Yes, I am a girl like you.

It's amazing!

Except for our hair.

We could be twins!

What about this birthmark?

Hm, no, I guess not.

Here, Your Highness.

It's... uncanny.

Serafina!

Wolfie!

- Look who's a long way from the Palace!

- Don't get any ideas, Midas.

- I don't get these nails filed for nothing.

- I'll take my chances.

I'm warning you, leave her alone!

Heh! Or you'll do what?

Spit a hairball at me?

Quite a big bark you have there, Rover!

Uh, it's uh, Wolfie.

Not Rover.

Well, thank you Wolfie,

not Rover.

My name's Serafina.

Uh, I haven't seen

you around here before.

I don't think we run in

the same circles, but...

perhaps we can change that.

- There you are.

- There you are.

Did I just hear your cat bark?

He has a style all his own.

I'm sorry, Your Highness,

we should be getting back.

One day you must sing

for us at the Palace.

Really?

I'll send someone for you.

I'll be at Madame Carp's.

Goodbye, Erika!

I won't forget.

Goodbye!

Come on, Wolfie.

Wolfie?

Cat got your tongue?

Come on, boy.

I may be dainty, but I'm still a feline!

We did it!

Let's go.

Come here, Nick.

Our job is to capture the Princess...

not her cat!

Right.

What'd we get the cat for?

Allow me to demonstrate, dimwit.

Serafina?

Serafina, where are you?

Serafina, come here

girl, come here kitty!

Serafina?

Well! That certainly wasn't called for.

- Ooo, are you okay?

- No, I am not okay!

My Mistress is inside with two hooligans,

and I've got dirt... dirt on my bum!

Who are you?

Herve.

Nice to meet you, Herve.

I'm Serafina.

I command you to unlock this door!

- Yes, Your Highness!

- Yes, Your Highness!

We're in charge here!

Right.

I knew that!

I can't believe they won't let me in there.

My Princess needs me.

I'm sure the boss will let her out.

What boss?

That boss!

Signed, sealed, and

delivered Master Preminger!

Does she know I'm behind this?

- No idea.

- Good!

Keep her here until the wedding

to King Dominick is cancelled.

Then we'll see who the Princess marries!

Oh, he is nasty!

Just like his dog.

Think you could get me up to the roof?

I do not know. It is pretty high up.

You can do this!

Trust me, Herve.

Just count to 3.

1, 2, 3...

Thank you, Herve.

A girl's got to do

what a girl's got to do!

Serafina?

I am simply not going to look at myself.

Anneliese.

Anneliese, Darling?

Are you here?

Where could she be?

She wasn't at breakfast.

Is that something on

her desk, Your Majesty?

Oh, a letter to me.

It says she's run away, so she

won't have to marry King Dominick!

Well this is dreadful!

We have to find her.

She could be hurt!

Well I'll send out search parties

at once, Your Majesty. I'm sure she...

...couldn't have gotten far.
