about activities that you can do.

- Activities?

- We could go to the museum.

Or to the theater?

- Or there's this ball.

- A ball?

Yes.

There's dancing and music.

- You like that.

- Well, I suppose.

Oh, wonderful.

We should go then.

- Giselle?

- Yes?

- And then home to Andalasia?

- Of course.

The moment it's over.

Giselle! You're back!

You're back!

Oh, Morgan. Oh!

Morgan, I need your help.

I'm going to the ball, and I'm not sure

what to do, or what I should wear.

I don't know where to find

a fairy godmother at this late hour.

I have something better

than a fairy godmother.

Daddy says it's only for emergencies.

This is definitely an emergency.

Here you go,

you get to carry the bag.

- Bye.

- Bye.

Next.

- Miss?

- Oh. Thank you.

Have a good day.

And when you go out, you don't

want to wear too much makeup.

'Cause otherwise

the boys get the wrong idea.

And you know how they are.

They're only after one thing.

- What's that?

- I don't know.

Nobody will tell me.

Oh.

So is this what it's like?

- What, sweetie?

- Going shopping with your mother?

Oh, I don't know. I've never

been shopping with my mother.

Me either.

- But I like it.

- Me too.

And just think.

Soon, you'll have a new mother.

You mean stepmother.

It's not true what they say.

I have met so many kind

and wonderful stepmothers.

Edward has a stepmother.

I've never met her,

but I hear she's just lovely.

Mr. N is on the line telling us

his sweetie pie is acting distant.

You were saying, Mr. N?

I've always treated her like a queen,

but lately I'm starting to feel

there's this whole other side to her,

like I don't even know her anymore.

I think you need

to take her aside

and find out how she

really feels about you.

Hello, worthless.

Miss me?

Reperio lemma miha!

A-ha!

- What is she doing here?

- I have no idea.

- I'm surprised to see you here.

- I'm surprised.

- You said you couldn't dance.

- I said I didn't.

I never said I couldn't.

Oh. This is Edward.

He's my, um...

...prince.

- And this is Nancy.

She's... Well, she's...

- We're together.

- Yes.

And this beautiful lady is

Giselle, the love of my life.

- My heart's true desire.

- Wow.

- Is something wrong?

- Just the way you said that.

So straightforward.

Not a hint of irony.

It's very... romantic.

Well, thank you.

Well, folks,

it's that time of night.

I'd like to ask each gentleman

to invite a lady

he did not accompany this evening

to dance the King and Queen's Waltz.

- May I have the pleasure?

- Please.

Shall we?

# You're in my arms

# And all the world is gone

# The music playing on

# For only two

# So close together

# And when I'm with you

# So close to feeling alive

# A life goes by

# Romantic dreams must die

# So I bid mine goodbye

# And never knew

# So close was waiting

# Waiting here with you

# And now forever I know

# All that I want is

# To hold you

# So close

# So close to reaching

# That famous happy ending

# Almost believing

# This one's not pretend

# Now you're beside me

# And look how far we've come

# So far

# We are

# So close

Mind if I cut in?

No, of course.

# If I should lose you now

# We're so close

# To reaching

# That famous happy ending

# Almost believing

# This one's not pretend

- You're sad.

- Oh, no.

- I'm fine.

- I'll get your wrap.

# So close

# So close

# And still so far #

Child.

You! You sent me here.

I'm so glad to see you.

I was so very worried.

What a terrible accident that brought

you to this terrible place

with so much sadness

and so much pain.

Oh, yes.

To never be with the one you love.

Doomed to be with another

for eternity.

Oh! But it doesn't have to be that way.

Oh, no, no, no.

I can stop the hurt. Yes.

I can make all those

bad memories disappear.

Yes!

Just one bite, my love,

and all this will go away.

Your life here,

the people that you met.

You won't remember anything.

Just sweet dreams...

...and happy endings.

But you must hurry. You must hurry.

The magic will not work

unless you take a bite

before the clock strikes 12.

Hurry now. Hurry. Hurry.

Yes! Yes! Yes!

That's it. That's it.

Hurry. Hurry. Yes.

Out of my way!

How did she do that?

Speciosus, formosus,

praeclarus!

- Ah!

- Edward?

- Mother?

- Edward!

Yes. Oh, her.

I was taking her out for fresh air.

She seems to have swooned.

Oh, leave her, darling.

I think she's fine.

Just leave her. Slap her.

Give her some water.

She's fine.

- Someone help me, please!

- You're overreacting.

You needn't get so upset, dear.

Really.

Oh, no. Call 9-1-1.

Don't pay any attention.

Go back to your party.

- She's fine.

- Giselle.

Hello, we have a woman

here, she's unconscious.

I didn't see what happened.

- She fainted. But she'll be fine...

- No, she didn't.

Nathaniel, go back to the car.

I will not.

You poisoned her.

- She's the evil hag, sire!

- You did this?

She sent the girl here.

She poisoned her! With my help,

- I regret to say.

- Oh, he's lying, darling.

Why would I ever align myself with that

buffoon? I mean, think about it. Why...?

Silence!

You lying, murderous wretch!

When we return home, Andalasia

shall know of your treachery.

- Your days as queen will be over!

- Take my crown?

Don't you think that's

a bit melodramatic, dear?

I don't know

what "melodramatic" means,

but you'll be removed from the throne,

Narissa. I will see to it.

That's enough from you, you viper.

- We have to help her. What can we do?

- I don't know. What do we do?

There's no way of helping her.

She's done for.

True love's kiss.

What?

It's the most powerful thing

in the world.

Yes. Yes, of course.

I knew that.

It's not working!

You'll never save her now.

When the clock strikes 12...

...she'll be dead.

- Unless...

- Unless?

It's not possible.

It couldn't be me.

- Don't you see?

- I've only known her for a few days.

Kiss her, Robert. It's OK.

Please.

Don't leave me.

I knew it was you.

- What did you think?

- Wonderful.

Oh, much better

than last year's show.

No!

The most powerful thing

in the world.

Ha! I don't think so.

You have no idea

who you're dealing with.

You want a show?

I'll give you a show.

Back up and get ready

for the main event!

- You selfish, evil...

- Speciosus,

formosus, praeclarus!

All this nauseating talk of

"true love's kiss."

It really does bring out

the worst in me.

- Stay back.

- You know, I've been thinking.

If I'm going to remain queen,

I'm going to need

some sort of story

when I go back. Hmm.

What if a giant,

vicious beast showed up

and killed everyone?

And poor, defenseless

Queen Narissa,

she just couldn't save them.

Let's begin with the girl

who started it all, shall we?

- Over my dead body.

- All right.

- I'm flexible.

- Let me go!

Come along, Giselle. I don't

want you to miss this ending.

Let me go!

Ah! Put me down!

You're crazy!

No, spiteful, vindictive, very large.

But never crazy. Ah!
