Ella Enchanted Page #2

until they ripped your father to shreds.

And I promised your father,

should anything happen to him,

I would take care of you and the kingdom.

And, well, I've kept my promise, haven't l?

Whoa!

Likewise, you must keep

your promise to the people.

Now, let's put on a smile.

Remember, image is everything.

Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you.

It's wonderful to be here

in your charming town of... Frell.

Prince Charmont and l...

We want Char! We want Char!

We want Char! We want Char!

We want Char!

Now it is my great pleasure to welcome

my nephew, Prince Charmont.

- Say no to ogrecide!

- Stop the giant land grab!

- Say no to ogrecide!

- Stop the giant land grab!

- Say no to ogrecide!

- Stop the giant land grab!

- Say no to ogrecide!

- Ella! You are embarrassing us!

Go home now.

I have to go. I'm sorry.

I love you, Prince Char!

Hey! Prince Char!

- Are you a fast runner?

- Not particularly, no. Why?

Get him!

- Ow!

- Shush, shush, shush!

- Prince Charmont.

- Please, call me... call me Char.

Sorry about that.

Occupational hazard.

- Allow me.

- I don't need your chivalry, thanks.

And I've no intention of curtsying,

either, so forget it.

You can curtsy or not. That's your choice.

There's really nothing I can do about it.

Except have you beheaded,

but that seems a bit extreme.

Charming. Why don't you do

what your people usually do?

Steal my land and destroy my livelihood.

If you'll excuse me...

Wait a second. Come back here.

Hm?

What is your name?

Ella of Frell.

Well, Ella of Frell,

you're the first maiden I've met

who hasn't swooned at the sight of me.

Then maybe I've done you some good.

Look, I've never stolen

anyone's land or livelihood.

I want peace in the kingdom

as much as anyone.

So you have a new plan

once you take the crown?

Well...

Sort of. Of course,

I couldn't reveal it to a subject.

That's what I thought.

You're all just the same.

You care more about your fan club

and your next jousting tournament.

No, actually, I've never been comfortable

with the whole adoring fan club thing.

Perhaps that's why I find

your obvious disdain for me so refreshing.

Obvious? And I was trying

so hard to hide it.

Where's my purse? It's back there.

Wait right there. I will get it.

Prince Charmont!

Prince Charmont!

Your Highness.

Are you crazy? Why didn't you move?

I would have... were it not for your apparent

fascination with knocking me to the ground.

That's the second time today, you realize.

I'll try and be more considerate

next time I'm saving you.

Next time? What makes you think

we'll see each other again?

Well, won't we?

No.

Ella of Frell, you are not like other girls.

You have no idea.

Ella, come here.

Shouldn't you be at home

cleaning the fireplace, huh?

Stop flirting with him.

It's me he's going to have at his coronation.

Yeah, in the middle of the table

with an apple in your mouth.

Go back to the mall with Olive.

- Ella.

- Oh.

Don't bother with her. Ugh.

I'm the one you want.

I know everything about you.

I've got posters of you, and pictures.

And when we used to live in Lamia,

I used to stand outside your castle and

watch you turn your lights on and off.

Tell Ella I'll be in touch.

Right. I'll see to that.

- Where were you?

- Oh.

- I met the prince.

- You met the prince?

I don't wanna talk about it.

Olive and Hattie were there.

Hattie. Why do you always do

what Hattie tells you to do?

- I don't.

- Yes, you do.

- I don't.

- Tell the truth.

Oh, I do.

Olive, have you noticed

anything strange about Ella?

No, not really.

Have you noticed it gets darker at night,

then lighter when the sun comes up?

- That's because of Ella?

- Never mind.

- You've been acting odd, even for you.

- What do you mean?

- Oh... Don't let her see me.

- That's what I mean.

Aha.

- Areida, no!

- Ella, come here.

I have to go.

- What?

- I need you to do me a little favor.

Take that.

Cool! Let me try! Take that.

And that potion bottle.

OK! OK, that's enough.

I think that's for me to say, Ella.

We need one more thing.

Take those.

- Please don't make me do this.

- Well, since you said please...

No. Take them. Take them!

Run!

Stop that girl!

Buy a squirrel sandwich.

Get 'em while they're hot.

Here. Keep the change.

Excuse me.

Excuse me. Coming through.

Try our new perfume.

Thanks.

Get out of the way! Get out of the way!

Ella, bravo!

Freeze!

Put your hands together.

You're under arrest.

A felon in my own family.

I could die from embarrassment.

Promises, promises.

- You are a disgrace.

- Maybe she was put up to it.

Mandy's right, Mother. We were there.

It really wasn't poor Ella's fault at all.

She was forced to do it.

So, Ella, who put you up to it?

- Tell her it was Areida.

- Ar...

I'm waiting. Tell me who's to blame.

Areida.

Areida! I might have guessed it.

- You are forbidden ever to see her again.

- What?

Ella?

How dare she come here now?

Answer the door and tell her

that you never want to see her again.

And tell her you could never be friends

with an Ayorthian.

- Dame Olga, there must be some mistake.

- Please, Dame Olga.

Don't argue. Just do it.

Thank goodness you're all right.

What's wrong?

I never wanna see you again.

Ha-ha. Very funny.

I don't understand.

We're best friends.

I could never be friends with an Ayorthian.

Just go.

I've done terrible things before, Mandy,

but this is the worst thing

the curse has ever made me do.

I've gotta do it.

I have got to find Lucinda

and get her to take back the curse.

You're right.

I have something to show you.

This is gonna help you find her.

I should have told you

about this years ago.

- But I was a little embarrassed.

- Embarrassed? How?

Well, as you know,

I'm not the most talented fairy.

Anyway, this book...

is my boyfriend, Benny.

Hey.

Pleased to meet you.

Pleased to meet anyone, quite frankly.

You're the first introduction

I've had in 20 years.

- I've never seen anything like this.

- I know. No one has.

And I don't want them to,

cos then they might take him away.

It was an accident. I was just trying a spell

to trim his hair, and it went a little askew.

I would have left her ages ago,

except I love her so darn much.

Plus, I have no legs.

I love you, too, my little Pooky Pages.

Not as much as I love you, Cuddlebuns.

- I love you more.

- OK.

Lots of love. Moving on.

Well, I want you to take him with you.

You mean I'm getting out of here?

Beyond these four walls?

There are so many places in my pages

I've been wanting to visit.

Wow. What is all this?

- He knows everything.

- Thanks, sweetie, but not everything.

If I did, I'd be a lot thicker.

Can he show me anything about Lucinda?

- Can I show you anything about Lucinda?

- Watch this.

Show me Lucinda.

Ta-da!

Cool trick.

Now, which Crockery Barn?

They're all over the kingdom.

Ah.

That's the glitch. He can't tell you where

a person is. He can just show you pictures.
