Chapter 9


<At Madams Hearts' Dress Emporium>

Rosella finally finished sewing a dress.

Rosella: "There! This one is finish! Uh, sort of..."

The blue dress that Rosella wasn't right. One sleeve is longer than the other one.

Bertie: "Please, your highness. You don't have to do this."

Rosella: "I can't let you do it all by yourself!"

Rosella then continued to sew. This made Bertie smiled.

<Back in Rosella's bedroom>

Gigi yawned while Rose was pacing back and forth.

Rose: "How am I going to do this? Everyone will know I am a fake! They will throw me into the dungeon in two seconds flat!"

Rose walked over to Gigi.

Rose: "Oh Julien where are you? Where aren't you here?"

Suddenly, the door opened. Rose was shocked.

Preminger: "You are most beautiful, your highness!"

Preminger walked over to Rose. Gigi got off the bed and starting barking at Preminger.

Preminger: "What's this cat doing here?"

Rose: "He belongs to me!"

Preminger: "Oh, he's yours! What happened to the other one?"

Rose: "Uh, she's around here. Somewhere."

Preminger: "I see. So rare that you are apart..."

Rose smiled.

Preminger: "The Queen has sent me to escort you to meet the prince..."

Rose: "Uhhhh, thank you..."

Preminger walked while Rose followed behind. Gigi was getting more and more suspicious. He growled and decided to follow them.

<In the throne room>

Prince Hawk bowed.

Hawk: "I appreciate your understandings, your majesty."

The Queen: "Likewise, Prince Hawk. I apologise for my Daughter little delay in the wedding plans. But it's all sorted out now."

The doors opened.

Preminger: "May I announce! Princess Rosella..."

The Queen: "Oh hello darling, come come. I want to introduce to Prince Hawk. He has something he wants to tell you. Uh, where are my spectacles?"

Hawk and Rose walked towards each other. Hawk bowed.

Hawk: "I am honoured..."

Rose: "Uh. Uhh, *Clear throat*. The Honour is mine, Prince Hawk."

Hawk: "Please just can me, Hawk."

Rose: "Uh call me Rose- I mean! Rosella! Princess Rosella. Uh, That's my name..."

Gigi: "Woof! Woof!"

Hawk: "*Laughs* I hope his bark is bigger than his bite!"

Hawk bend down to pat him.

Rose: "He likes you..."

The Queen: "Prince Hawk, would you do the Honour in playing he piano? I know you love music!"

Rose: "You do?"

Hawk: "I will. If the princess agrees to sing with me."

Rose: "Sing with you...uh, no I couldn't..."

Hawk: "Something tells me you have a wonderful voice..."

Hawk sat down on the piano's bench and started playing.

The Queen: "Sing darling!"

Rose looked back at Hawk and smiled.

<Title of the song is, 'If you love me for me'>

Rose:

Once a lass met a lad

You're a gentle one, said she

In my heart I'd be glad

If you loved me for me

You say your love is true

And I hope that it will be!

Hawk:

I'd be sure, if I knew

That you loved me for me

Rose:

Could I be the one you're seeking?

Will I be the one you choose?

Can you tell my heart is speaking?

My eyes will give you clues!

Hawk:

What you see may be deceiving

Truth lies underneath the skin

Rose:

Hope will blossum by believing

Both:

The heart that lies within!

Hawk:

I'll be yours!

Together we shall always be as one

If you love me for me

Hawk:

I'll be yours!

Rose:

Who can say where we'll go

Hawk:

Together we shall always

Rose:

Who can promise that we'll be

Hawk:

Be as one

Rose:

But I'll stay by your side

Both:

If you love me for me

If you love me for me!

After a stroll in the garden, Hawk and Rose decided to sit by the balcony and watch the sunset.

Hawk: "Breathtaking!"

Rose: "The prettiest sunset I ever seen."

Rose turned to Hawk and she noticed he has been staring at her this whole time. Rose smiled shyly.

Hawk: "There's something about you. You're honest, no pretences. I like that."

Hawk stood up.

Hawk: "Until tomorrow, your highness."

Hawk gave a kiss on Rose's hand and then, left. Rose's face turned from bloom to gloom.

Gigi jumped onto the chair beside her.

Rose: "Honest? No pretences? Oh Gigi, Julien and the Princess are still missing! And I think I am falling in love with the Prince..."
