Princess Protection Program Page #6

-Father's never gonna let you go back.

-He'll never know.

Yeah, but I know. And I'm not gonna

let you go back, either.

Carter, you have to stay out of this.

I have a duty to my people.

And this is something

that you'll never understand.

I've loved living here in Louisiana.

And I wish my life could be like this

every day.

But this is not reality.

I mean, you think

my life as a princess is some fairy tale?

This here is a fairy tale!

And I cannot hide here anymore.

Soon I will be Queen of Costa Luna.

My country needs me.

You're right. They do need you.

They need you to lead them,

and to protect them.

And that's something

you can't do from jail,

which is exactly where you'll end up

if you go back to Costa Luna.

No way am I letting this happen.

Hola, this is Elegante. Who is this?

That's not important.

All that matters

is I'm a friend of Princess Rosalinda,

and she's about to make

a very big mistake.

My princesa? What mistake is this?

She wants to come home.

No, no, no, no, no, she must not.

It's too dangerous.

I know. But I have a plan.

And I'm gonna need you

to listen very carefully.

I will do anything for the Princesa.

Anything.

Okay, to start with,

I'm gonna need two dresses.

You okay?

I'm going to miss this place.

I'm going to miss you, Carter.

I can't believe I'm saying this,

but I'm going to miss you, too.

Rosie, can you do me

a big favor before you go?

Anything.

You said it is a princess' job

to help others.

It is.

Well, the dance is on Friday night,

and there's some people

that I want to help.

I want to make this night

special for them, for all of us.

Will you please stay until then?

For them, please.

That's it,

keep your chin up.

What in the...

Okay, stay there,

that's perfect. Very good.

-Morning, Dad.

-Morning. What the...

What are you girls up to?

Just having some friends over

from school. Is that okay?

Yeah, yeah. It's fine. What's in the box?

Homecoming stuff. No biggie.

Hmm.

And you are sure about this

homecoming dance, Senor Elegante?

Absolutely.

I feel, in one way,

I'm betraying my queen,

but I thought

you should know, General.

It's for the good of Costa Luna.

You did the right thing

by coming to me, senor.

Fuel the jet!

Tell the pilot

we will be flying to Louisiana.

A lovely color. Lovely indeed.

Caribbean blue, General.

To complement

Princess Rosalinda's skin tone.

Well, back to work.

You have a dress to finish.

Two, actually.

Where did you get them?

Well, you said to call Mr. Elegante

if I had an emergency.

And I think

that this is a fashion emergency.

-Carter, you are brilliant.

-This one is yours.

He says you look best in pink.

And this one is mine.

It's Caribbean blue.

Thank you, Carter.

This is a night I'll always remember.

I hope so.

Are you guys ready?

'Cause it's getting kind of late.

Come on in, girls.

Helen's House of Beauty

is open for business.

Okay.

Oh, this is a great color on you.

How do I look, Dad?

I think we have a problem.

I may have to stop calling you "pal."

All right, I gotta grab this.

You girls gonna be okay?

-Yeah, we'll be fine. Go ahead.

-You sure?

Of course. We're not kids.

All right. Well, have a good time.

And be careful.

-Mason.

-Helen.

All right, Your Highnesses.

Time's a-wasting.

The dance starts in 1 0 minutes.

Masks? No one said anything

about masks.

Come on!

Hey! Hey!

I'm stuck!

Open the door, Donny. Hello?

Donny. Donny!

Come here, come here.

-You okay?

-Get off!

Okay, freshman,

I think I can take it from here.

-No.

-Carter, what's the problem?

I thought we had,

you know, something.

-Actually, we don't.

-Okay, what's up?

Isn't this what you've been waiting

for since, like, third grade?

Before I put on this dress,

you couldn't even remember my name.

I might be a princess tonight,

but I'll always be Bait Girl.

And I'm proud of that.

Carter, you're making a big mistake.

No, Donny. I don't think I am.

You deserve better than him, Carter.

I know.

Too bad it took this long to realize it.

Guys!

What happened to you?

Shut up and fix me.

-Did you get me a crown?

-Who cares?

In a few minutes,

it won't matter anyways.

I'll be named queen

and this will all be over.

I thought we were in this together.

We are. Lip gloss.

No.

-What?

-I said no.

You can't use my lip gloss anymore.

But I have to look pretty. I'm a princess.

Yeah, a terrible one.

A princess is supposed to be

a girl of exemplary character,

a role model. But you,

you're not even kind,

honest or charitable in any way.

You're not even nice.

I don't think

I want to be your friend anymore.

-Brookie...

-Don't call me that.

Carter, Rosie,

I just wanted to thank you for tonight.

I never thought I could look beautiful.

Or feel beautiful, for that matter.

Margaret, you are beautiful.

And thanks for not calling me Muffy.

No problem.

I love this song! Let's go dance!

Well, why don't you two go ahead?

Be princesses.

Okay!

There you are! Finally!

You don't understand, miss.

-I'm the...

-Security. I know. You're late.

And what is with the uniforms?

No one's wearing berets this year.

Just stay out here and make sure

no one gets in that dance,

unless they're students

from Lake Monroe. Got it?

Got it. Enjoy your evening.

Okay, everybody, he's about to

announce the winner.

Let's put on our masks.

Princesses everywhere.

Caribbean blue. Beautiful indeed.

Come with me now, Princesa,

and no harm will come to your friends.

Can I have your attention, please?

I hold here in my hand

the name of our 2008

Lake Monroe Homecoming Queen.

And the winner is

Princess Rosie Gonzalez.

Rosie, are you out there?

Thank you.

Since I've been here,

I've learned many wonderful things.

Most importantly,

I've learned about friendship

and loyalty and trust.

And that those are not things

that are just given,

but things we must earn.

So I want to thank Carter Mason

for teaching me these things.

And for being my friend.

Carter, where are you?

That was so beautiful, Rosie.

Thank you. But I need to find Carter.

Hold it right there, Princess.

My crown. Hand it over.

-Chelsea, please...

-You're not going anywhere

until I get that crown.

No!

Sorry.

I am so getting you back for this!

General Kane!

Well, it appears as if

everyone wants to be a princess.

Unfortunately, it is time

for the masquerade to end.

What are you doing?

The plan was working perfectly.

This was a very brave plan.

But this is my fight, not yours.

-You don't have to go with them.

-Enough!

As the Princesa

so eloquently pointed out,

this is not your fight.

General Kane.

-Good to see you again.

-What is the meaning of this?

You are interfering

with official business

of the sovereign land of Costa Luna.

Maybe this will fly in your country,

but, here, it's called kidnapping.

We're turning you over

to the international authorities.

-Get him.

-No, let me.

I'm going to enjoy this.

How does it feel to be brought to justice
