As night broke, Prince Joshua was on his own, on the road back his home, with Jim at his side. When they were about to approach the gates of the castle, Josh called his dog close to him.

"Come here, Jimmy."

Jim snuggled next to his master, then they were at the front gate.

The guard was informed of the supposed Prince's return, but he did not recognize the real Prince in front of him.

"Who goes there?" He said.

"Prince Joshua Dun." He replied.

The guard scoffed; not buying it.

"If you're the Prince, then I'm the king."

"But, I am the Prince."

"Really? Then, how come I just saw the Prince eating dinner with the Queen?"

Josh was confused.

"W-What Prince?"

"Now, move along before I lose my temper."

"You are speaking to Prince Joshua Dun!" The man shouted. "Let me through!-"

"I said, move along! Now!"

Josh felt helpless, and knew there was nothing he could do, so he drove away.

After driving around for a while, the Prince found himself going into the village, and remembered Tyler at Madame Colleen's dress shop.

Hedwig stopped at the entrance, and Josh got off the carriage.

"We'll find help in here."

As he helped his dog off the carriage, Madame Colleen opened the door. Josh had expected a royal welcome, but instead was meant with cruelty.

"What the hell are you doing here?"

"I beg your pardon!" Josh replied. "I demand you watch your tone!"

"Not another word! You're coming with me!"

Madame Colleen pulled the helpless Prince into her dress shop. Jim followed, not wanting to be left behind.

When they got inside, Madame Colleen became angry with her other seamstress, Bernadette.

"Not done yet?"

"N-No, Madame Colleen." The girl replied.

"Well, if you weren't such a lazy cow, those dresses would be finished by now."

Josh could not believe how the wicked woman spoke to her.

"How dare you speak to her that way!"

When she heard this, she was flabbergasted.

"How dare I? H-How dare I? Just, who the hell do you think you are?"

Joshua removed his hood.

"I am Prince Joshua Dun."

He had hoped that maybe she could apologize for her actions, but instead, she laughed.

"That's bullshit! You've got to change a lot more than your hair to look like the Prince. Why, me and the Prince are close, personal friends."

"Oh, really?"

"Now, shut the fuck up, and get back to work!"

Josh was livid.

"I'm warning you, Colleen, if you're going to treat your seamstresses this way, we'll take our royal business elsewhere."

"You're warning me? Well, we'll see your attitude change by morning!"

"Oh yeah, you'll answer to my mother for this!"

"Of course I will, Tyler Joseph, you're not coming out until every dress is finished!"

The wicked woman slammed the door; locking him and Bernadette inside.

Josh leaned his head against the door.

"Damn it! Locked in again!"

"T-Tyler?"

Josh turned to look at Bernadette.

"T-That is you, is it?"

The Prince smiled.

"I wish I could say that I'm him."

Together, they forged a plan to get a message into the Castle, and the source was Jim.

Josh took a label and started preparing it.

"If Jason can slip in and out, I'm sure your pretty little Jimmy can do it too." Bernadette said; smiling.

Then, Josh tied the label to Jim's collar.

"It's up to you now, Jimmy. Take this to the Castle. When somebody reads the label, it'll lead them here."

Just as his master instructed, Jim slipped into the night to go to the Castle to find help.

The next morning, Tyler, disguised as the Prince, awoke from a dreamless sleep in the bed of the Prince's chambers.

Even though it had only been for a day, he still couldn't believe he was actually there.

"I thought I was dreaming, but I'm not."

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. Jason rose to his feet and started barking.

"Shh, Jason!" Tyler whispered. "We gotta act like we live here. We can't give ourselves away."

The boy took a deep breaths.

"Be a Prince. Be a Prince."

Then, he spoke as Prince Joshua would.

"Come in."

The royal maid walked in.

"Did I hear a dog, your majesty? Should I call the royal dog catcher?"

"Ah, no, no dog."

Tyler chuckled.

"Everything is fine."

The maid revealed a silver trey of breakfast, and laid it on Tyler's lap.

"Your breakfast, your highness."

Tyler was astonished.

"Really? In bed?!"

"As always." The maid replied.

Tyler had to correct himself again.

"Oh, yes. Of course. Thank you."

The boy looked down at the breakfast food in front of him.

"Look at all this food!"

He looked to the maid.

"You want some?"

"Oh, I-I couldn't, your highness."

"But there's enough to feed an army!"

Tyler handed out a piece of toast.

"Come on, take some."

The maid kindly agreed and took the toast.

"I, uh, thank you, my dear."

Tyler smiled.

"I'm gonna go ahead and draw your bath." The maid said. "Would you like bubbles, mineral salts, or lavender oil?"

"Everything!" Tyler replied.

The boy happily ate while the maid prepared his bath.

Outside his chambers, Queen Jenna has revealed to ambassador Black that she intends to go ahead and meet with the Prince, despite the fact she disguised herself.

"You're going to just tell him that you disguised yourself as a page? Are you sure that's wise, Queen Jenna?"

"No, I'm not sure." The young Queen replied. "But, I have to be honest. I think he'll understand. I didn't want to marry a stranger any more than he did."

Meanwhile, Tyler sat in the bathtub; pondering his soon to be new life.

"I may never get out."

Jason sat next to him, trying not to bark. He was trying to utter a strange sound.

"Mehh-"

Tyler quickly took notice.

(Start song)

"What's wrong, Jason? Are you sick? Is something in your throat?"

"Mehh-"

"Wait a minute. Are you trying to meow?"

Jason immediately tried.

"Mehh- woof!"

Tyler chuckled.

"Oh, my fella."

(Tyler)
I can see it when you're feeling low
You can't hide that from me
You're no status quo Calico
So why keep trying to be?
'Cause you're more than that
You're a doggish cat
I wish you could see the you I see

Once again, Jason tried again with no success.

"No."

I say...
If you bark, celebrate it
Make your mark, serenade it
Noah's ark should've had a cat like you!

And if what you are is a strange you
Doesn't mean you can change you
Only means you should change your point of view!

Outside the chambers, Queen Jenna made an attempt to see the Prince.

"P-Prince J-Joshua?"

However, she decided to stay outside and listen to his beautiful voice.

(Tyler)
Hey, feline, you fetch just fine
To thine own self be true
Your bow wow's the cat's meow
It's how I know you're you!

You don't need the bows or tiara
Bid your woes sayonara
Trust your nose 'cause it knows the way to go!

When you chase your tail, you're enchanting
Spirits sail when you're panting
When you wail, you're a rover Romeo!

There is not one hair of you
That I would rearrange
I love you the way you are
And that will never change!

That will never change!

At last, Jason embraced his bark, and Tyler smiled; embracing his cat.

"That's my boy!"
