Princess Protection Program Page #5

The people of Costa Luna

will never accept that.

The same was said for the people

of Costa Estrella 20 years ago,

and look what happened.

Hmm.

Take her back to her cell.

Oh, and bring me

my hair and makeup team.

We must touch up this gray

before I go on camera.

Yeah.

Sorry.

Wait,

where's everyone going?

Good morning, students.

The votes

for your three homecoming...

We must hurry, Carter.

Okay, you're way too

into this princess thing.

Now,

I'd like to announce the winners.

And your princesses are

Chelsea Barnes!

Thank you! Thank you!

Carter Mason!

"Carter Mason."

And your third and final princess is

Rosie Gonzalez!

Thank you. Thank you.

-What happened?

-I don't know!

We texted everyone in the school.

They were supposed to vote

for Carter instead of Rosie,

not Carter and Rosie.

-This is all your fault.

-How is it my fault?

If you were more popular,

you'd be the princess, not her.

I am popular!

This is not good, okay?

Me being a princess is not normal.

Hey, there.

Hey, Rosie, can I talk to you?

-Me?

-Her?

Yeah.

So, you know there's the homecoming

dance and everything, and...

Will you go to the dance

with me, Rosie?

-Me?

-Her?

Yeah. I want you to be my date

for the dance.

Donny, that is very kind of you, but no.

Will you excuse me?

Uh...

Sure.

That was the most humiliating thing

that has ever happened to me.

And I've been humiliated a lot.

What was I thinking? A guy like Donny

would never go out with me.

Then he is not worthy of you.

Yeah, you can say that

'cause you're all high and royal.

-But I'm just a girl who sells bait.

-No.

You are so much more.

You are a princess now.

Yeah. Trust me, I am not a princess.

Yes, you are.

You just do not feel like one yet.

When I came here, you taught me

how to act normal, not royal.

Now it is my turn to teach you.

You think that being a princess

is superficial.

Yeah, I guess.

That it is about what you wear,

and how you look.

Well, it is a little bit

about how you look.

But more importantly,

it is about what you have to offer

the world and who you are inside.

Come on, Carter.

Let's go find your inner princess.

You come from here

I come from there

You rock out in your room

I'd like a world premiere

We're more alike

than anybody could ever tell

Ever tell

Friday we're cool

Monday we're freaks

Sometimes we rule

Sometimes we can't even speak

But we kick it up

Let loose and LOL

LOL:

It may seem cliched for me

to want to say that you're not alone

Not alone

And you can call me uncool

But it's a simple fact I got your back

Yeah, yeah, yeah

'Cause we're one and the same

We're anything but ordinary

One and the same

I think we're almost legendary

You and me, the perfect team

Chasing down the dream

We're one and the same

One and the same

We're anything but ordinary

One and the same

I think we're almost legendary

You and me, the perfect team

Shaking up the scene

We're one and the same

You're just so good with everybody.

Kids, old people,

you're probably even good with dogs.

That is true.

You're so much more generous

than I thought you'd be.

It is a princess's job to help people.

I guess I never really thought about

what it really means to be a princess.

Like this.

I can't believe

you actually have to do this.

Oh, no, you don't.

-Wait, then, why am I doing it?

-Because it is funny.

What? I hate you!

-You do?

-No, no, no. No.

No, I didn't mean it that way.

I didn't mean "l hate you" I hate you.

I meant "l hate you," like,

you're my best friend.

Oh!

Well, then, I hate you, too.

And that dress is ugly.

-lt is?

-No!

It is beautiful. And so are you.

Look.

You're becoming a princess

on the inside.

And now you look like one, too.

Excuse me, I have this lame reading

assignment for Spanish class.

Do you think that you have

something that's really easy

with lots of pictures?

Oh! Cool.

"Princess Rosalinda"? No way!

It's Mason. What's going on?

General Kane's

announcement of his engagement

to dona Sophia Montoya

has popped up

in several tabloid magazines.

The story is contained so far,

but I would be lying to say

I was not concerned.

She'd never agree to marry him.

I was not suggesting

she would, Major.

General Kane's doing this

to draw Rosalinda out.

He knows she won't allow her mother

to be forced into marriage.

Absolutely.

So, it is imperative

that we keep this from Rosalinda.

Yes, ma'am. I agree.

Major, has she made any enemies?

Anyone who might want

to expose her identity?

Not that I know of.

Let's move that throne here.

No. No, actually, there.

Oh, I know. Up there.

And let's hang some lights

directly on it.

That might be too harsh

on my skin tone.

We should hire a lighting designer.

The budget's gone, Chelsea.

What you see is what you get.

Okay, okay. I know!

A follow-spot just on me.

Maybe light pink,

or golden like the sun.

It's great to be queen.

You're not queen yet. Carter could win,

-or Rosie.

-Can it, Muffy.

-My name's Margaret.

-Not anymore.

-Hey, Chels.

-Don't call me that.

You lost that right when you lost

your princess crown to Bait Girl

and her strangely formal cousin.

Well, what if we could get Rosie

to drop out of homecoming altogether?

-She would never do that.

-She might.

She's not who she says she is.

She's Princesa Rosalinda.

It's in Spanish.

-What does the article say?

-I'm not sure.

What? I'm pretty, not smart.

Okay, let me try.

It's about Rosie and her mom.

One of them has fled the country

and one of them is in prison

or a paper bag.

I get those two mixed up.

No biggie. Good work, Brookie.

Thanks, Chels.

I have the perfect plan.

-Hey, girls.

-Hi, Mr. Mason. Is Rosie home?

-Maybe. What's up?

-Up?

Well, we're planning

a little princess surprise for Carter.

-To congratulate her.

-Yeah. It was Rosie's idea.

She's in her room. Go on in.

I've never heard of Costa Luna.

Have you, Brookie?

No, Chels.

I do not know

what you are talking about.

We know all about you

and your mother. And the paper bag.

-What?

-Poor Princess Rosalinda.

Did you hear she's in hiding?

-You do not understand.

-I understand that you lied to us.

-Only to protect my mother.

-From the paper bag?

No.

Look, I will give you a reward

for keeping my secret.

-We know you will.

-You do?

And we already have it picked out.

-I don't understand.

-Yeah, me either.

You're gonna turn in

your crown, Princess.

You're going to tell everyone

that there is, and only will be,

one true homecoming queen,

and that's me.

-That's good.

-Fine.

You may take my crown,

but you will not take Carter's.

She's no threat to you, Chelsea.

Fine.

Let Bait Girl

play princess for one night.

She just won't look like one.

Have fun at the dance!

Look at what Chelsea and Brooke...

-What's wrong?

-I have to leave, Carter.

Leave? Leave where?

Back to my country.

General Kane is forcing my mother

into marriage.
