Ooooo!! Cass is adorable!!
*Cass and Ginger see their parents to the door. The Queen gives Ginger a hug and smiles*
Queen: You be good, dear...
Ginger: I will, mother. You two have fun!
Cass: Just out of curiosity...when will you two be home?
King: In about a month or so, we're taking a tour of Europe after France.
*Cass and Ginger look to each other and smirk, then wave their parents off. They walk back inside and think it over*
Ginger: Okay, so Abe will come here...and you--you could be in replace of a farmer!
Cass: ...A farmer?
Ginger: Do you want to see Greer or not?
Cass: Of course I do!!
Ginger: Then this is the only way to do it!
Cass: *Sighs* All right...
Ginger: I'll make up the announcement and you have James gather up some of the guards and post it all over the kingdom.
Cass: Will do!
Ginger: Go get me some paper and a quill...
Cass: Why do I have to do it?
Ginger: You're gonna be a farmer, Cass...you have to get used to hard labor.
*Cass looks down and walks off. Later, Ginger finishes the announcement and hands it to Cass*
Cass: *Reading* Looks good! Now what?
Ginger: Now we hand it to James and he'll give it to the guards to spread it around.
*The next day the whole men of the town are ablaze with thoughts of becoming the next Prince for a month. A line forms from the Castle door to the market about 4 miles away.*
***Greer and Abe***
*Greer walks out to the field where Abe's cutting logs, she runs up to him with the announcement in her hands*
Greer: Abe! Look!
*Abe throws down his ax on the stump and looks at the piece of paper. He reads it through and shrugs*
Abe: So?
Greer: I thought you said you wanted to be Prince!
Abe: Oh, these people aren't serious, Greer, it's just a joke...
Greer: Nope, there's a line all the way to the castle! This is real, Abe! Now's your chance! Show them how a real Prince is supposed to act!
*Abe hesitates for a moment then smiles, taking the paper*
Abe: Maybe I will...then when the Royal Family comes back they'll notice how perfect their kingdom is and I'--
Greer: Hurry, Abe! You haven't much time!
*Abe runs into his barn and leaps on his horse, racing to the castle.*
***Cass and Ginger***
Ginger: I feel bad having to turn everyone down but Abe's not showing up!
Cass: He'll be here soon; I heard him talking about showing the Royal Family a thing or two so I know this will catch his eye. He'll see how difficult it really is.
Ginger: So will you, dear brother. Farming isn't easy...
Cass: How would you know? It's easier than being a Prince!
*Abe arrives at the castle but gets turned down by one of the guards*
Guard: You must get to the end of the line like everyone else.
Abe: But you don't understand, I have to be Prince! I'm going to change this kingdo--
Guard: End of the line.
*Abe goes to leave when Ginger sees him on his horse; she calls out to him. Abe looks to her and rides up. She tries to hide her face just a bit, but remembers she looks completely different with the makeup and gown.*
Abe: I'm here to be Prince...
*Ginger smiles weakly and walks him in.*

*Ginger walks Abe to his room, which used to be Cass's, and opens the closet*
Ginger: You can find all your clothes in here.
*She swings the bathroom door open and points, almost machine-like and tired*
Ginger: There's the bathroom. You'll have to be up tomorrow morning by 8 so we c--
Abe: So I can sleep in, hmm?
*He scoffs.*
Ginger: What time do you usually wake up?
Abe: Earlier than 8; by 8 o'clock I'd have already eatten breakfast, fed the cows, chopped the wood, seeded the grass and been in town looking for horseshoes.
Ginger: Wow, you don't waste any time, do you?
Abe: No, unlike some people.
*Never having seen this side of Abe before, Ginger snaps back angrily*
Ginger: We're not monsters, you know; we work just as hard as you do...
Abe: No kidding? What, do you chip your nails while you peck at that diamond ring of yours?
Ginger: My grandmother gave me this ring when I was a teenager; I have to wear it.
Abe: Oh is that so? Are you forced to take a bath in pearls, too? Gosh, that must be tough.
Ginger: Stop it! Just stop it!
*Ginger storms out and runs into her room, slamming the door behind her. Abe watches her storm out, feeling bad, but trying to stay strong*
Abe: Well, she does have it easy! Why should I give her any special treatments? She's been treated like Royalty her entire life! Now's the time she should get a taste for reality!
*Abe slams the closet door and shakes his head*
Abe: There's no way their gonna get me in those fashion rags; no sir. I'm comfortable just the way I am.
*Abe sits back and stretches out on the bed. The butler comes in and closes the door behind him. Abe sits up*
Abe: Who are you?
Butler: I'm your butler, sir; I've come to dress you.
Abe: Dress me? I've got two hands, haven't I? I can dress myself.
Butler: Very well, sir.
*The butler opens up the closet and picks out a dashing outfit, laying it on the bed next to Abe*
Abe: I'm not wearing that.
Butler: You have to, sir; it's castle rules.
Abe: Castle rules? A man can choose what he wants to wear, can't he?
Butler: No, sir; you must wear what's instructed for you on each day. You must look presentable for your people.
Abe: My people? I thought--
Butler: You must go through the Kingdom and bless each person (I know, stupid, but I really couldn't think of anything else!)
Abe: Bless them? This is crazy!
Butler: Castle rules, sir.
Abe: Well, I guess it's not too difficult, just have to dress in this silly looking thing and go around town blessing people. All right, I'll do it. Now will you leave me alone? I'd like to take a nap.
Butler: No sir, you must go to training now.
Abe: Training? For what?!
Butler: Come with me, sir.
*The butler leads Abe down a long hall and into a rather large sitting room; the butler opens the doors and directs Abe to the long table.*
Man: Sit down, please.
*Abe sits down and squints to see the man*
Abe: Who are you?
Man: My name is Fernando DiGastone. I will teach you proper manners as Prince.
Abe: Nah, I don't want that stuff, just--
Man: It is--
Abe: Castle rules? *Sighs*
***Greer and Cass***
*Cass lays on the couch and relaxes as Greer walks in and clears her throat loudly. Cass looks up and smiles, pulling her gently by the arm and sitting her next to him*
Cass: Hello...
Greer: *Giggles* Cass, those horses need you...
Cass: But I need you darling...the horses can wait...
*Greer pulls him up by the arm.*
Cass: Gosh, you're mighty strong! ....For a woman.
*He smiles teasingly*
Greer: Cass, I hired you as a farmer in Abe's place, you need to pull your weight around here...
*Cass gazes into her eyes and realizes how serious she is*
Cass: All right, I'll start working...but every minute I'm out there...know that only thoughts of you are running through my head.
*He bends down and smiles, kissing her temple*
Cass: I hate to be away from you for so long...I'm going to miss you.
*He wals out the door. Greer leans up against the door and takes a deep sigh*
Arrrg! I can't modify! Dad's gonna pull the plug any minute! If there are any mistakes I'll modify them tomorrow!

greer:now that's a man*leaning up against the door*
cass walks out the door wondering around looking for the stable
greer looks outside to watch him
greer: *peeking out the door* the stables are that way silly
cass: oh right*he smiles faintly*
he walks to them and see the horses heads sticking out of their little boxed cells.
cass:*talking to himself out loud* okay now i need the feed i think
greer followed him out there bc she knew he would have trouble but wanted to see him try.
he looks around and finally finds the feed on top of a tall hay stack about to his stomack....around greer's height for reaching.
he grabs the bag and takes a hand full.
cass: here horsey horsey, here horsey horsey*with his hand clinched closed*
he throws the feed on the ground and the horse just looks at it.
cass: you're suppose to eat it horsey not stare at it
greer is hiding right behind cass in the hay snickering
cass:*turning around* hey i thought you were suppose to be inside
greer: thats not the way to feed a horse*she snickers more*
cass stands and watches her carefully
greer: you do it like this*she says calmly taking a handful of the feed*
greer: you lay your hand out flat up to the horse's mouth....and the horse eats it right off your hand
greer: now you do it
cass: but you do it so much better
greer: come on, take a handfull
cass: *takes a handfull* okay
he hesitates to go too close to the horses mouth
greer: he wont bite your hand off cass
greer takes his arm and guides him closer with cass looking back at her into her eyes
greer: go ahead*looking into his eyes* put your hand under his mouth
cass: hey look, it works!
greer giggles and strokes the horse's neck
greer: see, youre a natural
cass: what do i do next?
greer: well you need to brush the horses now
cass: okay, wheres the brush?
abe
fernando: first you need to sit up straight if you want to be a prince. i will teach you to eat properly-
abe: but i do eat prop-
fernando: not to interup people, sit, stand...
abe frowns as his face turns red, loosing his patience.
fernando: i will also teach you how to talk properly, and above all you need to act like royalty, like a prince should. you need the manners of a person with high descendance
abe: ...of high descendance?
fernando: oh you know...
abe: no i dont know

Greer: Now, brushing is easy; all you have to do is put your hand over the brush like this...
*She puts her hand over his and starts to brush the horse gently. Cass gazes into Greer's eyes and studies her face. Greer continues to brush the horse.*
Cass: You have beautiful eyes, did you know that?
*She looks to him and smiles, then looks to the ground and releases her hand from the brush*
Greer: You're very kind, Cass...but I think I better get inside.
*She gets up quickly and walks back to the house, closing the door.*
Greer: Why am I so shy around this man? I like him so much but I just get strange butterflies in my stomach whenever he looks at me like that. It just feels like...well, like he's staring into my heart.
***Abe and Fernando***
*After about 8 hours later, Abe walks to his room exhausted. He throws himself on the bed and takes a deep sigh. Ginger walks in*
Ginger: Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't know you were in here...
*She goes to walk out but he speaks up*
Abe: No, it's all right, I'm just resting.
Ginger: I just have to get one thing from the drawer and I'll be out of your way.
*She quickly reaches into the drawer and takes something out, placing it into her pocket and walking out. After she leaves Abe gazes out the window, thinking about the Ginger he knows.*
Maybe I should go see her tonight...I don't think it's too late.
*He looks at the clock*
9:15
Abe: I'll have enough time, besides, with my busy schedule who knows when I'll ever be able to see her again.
*He walks past Gingers room and down to the front door. Ginger hears him leaving and runs to the stairs to inquire*
Ginger: Where are you going?
Abe: I'm going to go see my girl.
*Gingers' heart flutters when she hears those words, but she has to stay strong*
Ginger: Castle rules say you can't leave after 9.
Abe: You must be joking. Isn't there any way?
*Tired of being hated by him and wanting just to see the Abe she knows and misses, she breaks down and nods*
Ginger: I won't tell anyone, but be back before midnight.
*Abe smiles and quickly runs out of the castle. Ginger dashes to her room to get herself ready. She looks over her dresses and throws on the most ragged one she can find then throws some more dirt on her face and sneaks out the back door. Knowing a faster route to beat him before he gets to his farm, Ginger quickly makes a detour and arrives at his house just in time. But to make it look as though she was coming to see him, she hides behind a tree and walks up behind him*
Abe: Ginger?
Ginger: Oh Abe!
*She throws her arms around his neck and almost begins to sob.*
Abe: What's wrong? Are you okay?
*She quickly wipes a tear and smiles, gazing into his eyes*
Ginger: I'm just so glad to see you, that's all.
*He smiles and takes her by the hand, leading her to his special spot in the mountains. The two lay under the moonlight and just relish in each others presence. Abe looks down and runs his finger along the outline of her face.*
Abe: I've really missed you.
Ginger: I've missed you, too...
*Abe bends down and kisses her forehead*
Ginger: Abe...
Abe: Yeah?
Ginger: What's it like living with the princess?
Abe: Oh, I'd rather not talk about he--
Ginger: No, I'd like to know.
*He smirks and brushes a strand of hair from her eyes*
Abe: Are you jealous?
Ginger: Well, kind of. Is she really as mean as everyone says she is?
Abe: *Sighs* Well...no, I guess not. But she is spoiled.
Ginger: Oohh. ...Do you think I'm spoiled?
*Abe gazes into her eyes and shakes his head*
Abe: No, you're perfect.
*Ginger lays her head in his lap and gazes at the moon*
If only you knew...

ginger lifts her head off his lap and looks intensely into ab's eyes.
abe: ginger....
ginger: yes
abe: you just looked at me as though you afraid of something. do you have anything on your mind?
ginger: have you thought for a......moment that you could be prince forever
abe: what?...i.....well....
ginger: nevermind, no not at all do i have a lot on my mind
abe: you know you can tell me anything...anything at all ginger.
ginger thinks to herself
if only i could tell you my darling, but i am afraid you will be sore with me, maybe i ought to wait a little longer, so i can have every moment with you i can without you thinking differently about me.
ginger: its getting late and my family will start to worry.
abe: youre going already?
ginger: yes, goodbye my darling!
as she halls off so she can get to castle before him.
abe stays there for a about a half an hour more dreaming about the future with his eyes shut.
greer and cass
cass comes inside from a long day outside working so hard
cass: pphhhewww! its been a long day* as he wipes out on the couch*
greer, rocking back and forth on her rocking chair, sees him fall on the couch
greer: *whispers* my poor darling
she then drapes a blanket over his tired out body relaxed and spred out on the entire couch with his feet sticking out. she takes off his shoes and socks and throws a smaller blanket on top of them.

*Abe walks back to the castle slowly, replaying her voice and smile over and over in his head. He walks in through the front door and looks around; getting disoriented he can't find his room and asks one of the maids if she knows where he could take a bath. Not liking Abe at all and knowing he's just a country bumpkin, she directs him to the butler's quarters. He walks in and turns on the water to the tub. He jumps in and starts to scrub his legs when he hears a faint knock on the door. He listens intently for a moment but hearing nothing he continues to scrub. Ginger walks in and lays down James, the butler's, shoes down by his bed but gasps when she sees Abe in James' tub.* img79.imageshack.us/my.php?image=pdvd006qf8.jpgGinger: What are you doing in here?! Abe: The maid said this was the only tub in the house! *Ginger starts laughing hysterically, wanting to remember this image for the rest of her life* Ginger: We have 6 others in the house! *She continues to laugh hysterically as he growls and demands for a towel. Ginger continues to chuckle as he wraps the towel around himself.He storm into the lobby and hesitates, then spins around and looks to Ginger* Abe: Where...where's my room? *Ginger breaks down laughing once more. Feeling absolutely embrassed and mocked, Abe demands, once again for her to tell him* Ginger: Come on...I'll show you. *She walks him up to his room and opens the door giggling.* Abe: You're a very mean woman, do you know that? Ginger: Oh am I? Well, very rarely, sir do I ever find the Prince-to-be in the Butler's tub at 1 in the morning! *She nods her head and smiles, trying to surpress the urge to giggle.* Ginger: Good night. *She walks out, leaving him to sit on the bed alone. His angry face begins to turn into a smile, then he begins to laugh. Ginger, listening in through the crack in the door, begins to giggle and walks back to her room with a bright smile on her face.* ***Greer and Cass****Cass pulls Greer down next to him and pins her down.* Greer: Oh Cass, stop it! *She begins to giggle wildly. He starts to laugh and tries to plant kisses on her lips but she keeps tilting her head from side to side* Greer: Cass, no! I have to go to bed! Oh, you silly man! *She tries to pull herself up but he stops abruptly and gazes into her eyes. She gazes into his and smiles. He then leans in for a kiss right when she's about to turn her head and object, but she melts into his arms and smiles* Greer: Oh Cass... *He releases her arms and looks down at her. She opens her eyes slowly and giggles* Greer: Now I really have to go to bed, Cass. Cass: Awww, can't you keep me company just a while longer? Greer: I wish I could but I have to get up early in the morning. *Greer stands up and heads off to bed when Cass leaps up and starts chasing her. The two go running around the house and laughing hysterically. Greer runs up behind the table, trying to shield herself from him.*

Seven Days' Leave! *The next morning Ginger wakes to find Cass sitting at the breakfast table alone down in the dining room, fussing with his spoon and fork. She stands by and watches giggling. He looks at them both and takes a deep sigh, trying to jab his egg with the fork. He gets it onto his fork like a corndog and starts licking it. Ginger walks out shaking her head and laughs, helping him along.* Ginger: You have to use your spoon for this one. *He shakes his head frustrated* Abe: This Prince stuff is murder! How do they expect someone to eat an egg like this?! Ginger: It's been done before, sweethea--I mean, Abe... *She smiles weakly and covers her mistake by changing the subject* Ginger: Will you be ready by this afternoon? Abe: This afternoon? What for? Ginger: Well, you have to announce the opening of the new carnival. Abe: Oh, well that's sounds easy enough. Ginger: Yes, but you also have to stay there until 8 o'clock tonight, sitting uptop on the balcony to let the people know that you enjoy it just as much as they do. Because if the Prince is enjoying himself then that will make for a better carnival! *Abe gets up and throws down his napkin, walking off to his room* Abe: I'm not making a bit of difference here...how can I?! My whole schedule is wrapped up in just stuff! I don't see how Prince Casanova could keep his sanity! *Once up the stairs and into his bedroom, Ginger sits back in the chair and smiles* He's finally realizing how difficult being a Prince can really be...*She chews on his leftover toast and chuckles to herself. Once dressed and ready to start the day, Abe sits near his window and gazes at his cottage across the kingdom. He looks at his watch and decides to invite Ginger, his girl, to the carnival with him. He bounds out the door without saying anything to 'Ginny'. * Ginger: I know that look....he's planning on seeing me down at the stream! *She rushes into her room and does her daily routine, rushing down by the stream to meet up with Abe. Once there she finds him sitting by the water, running his finger along the ripples. He looks up once he hears the rustle of leaves under her feet* Abe: Ginger! *He runs up to her and gives her a big hug, kissing her cheek and smiling* Abe: Gosh, I've missed you... Ginger: Well, you see me nearly once week at midnight...I was afraid you would have forgotten what I looked like! *He pulls her close and brushes a strand of hair from her eyes* Abe: I could never forget your face, Ginger... *The two kiss and lay in each others' embrace for a while until Abe looks at his watch and gasps* Abe: Oh! I'm late! *Ginger looks up, alarmed, but tries to act calm* Ginger: Why, what time is it? Abe: Almost 10:40! I have to be at the carnival in 20 minutes! Ginger: Oh, you're going to the carnival? *She says sweetly, as if never knowing about it* Abe: Yeah, gosh, that's the whole reason why I came down here; I was wondering if you wanted to go with me... Ginger: I'd love to!--But oh, no, I can't, I'm sorry Abe, but...my sisters have no one to care for them and I'd-- Abe: Bring them along, too! Ginger: Oh, no, I just couldn't! Linda...well...she's sick and so is Mary-Sue... Abe: Oh.... Ginger: I'm sorry, I really would love to, though... *He smiles and kisses her hands* Abe: I'll come and see you tonight after it's over. *She smiles sweetly, noticing she hadn't taken the diamond ring off her finger and pulls away quickly. He tips his hat without noticing and dashes off back to the castle. Ginger leans up against a tree and takes a deep sigh of relief* ***Greer and Cass****The next morning Greer bounds up at the break of dawn and runs to Cass, pulling him out of bed* Greer: Cass, Cass! I totally forgot, today is the opening of the new carnival! *Cass groans* Cass: I don't want to oversee any more carnivals...go away. *Greer laughs and continues to pull him up* Greer: You're not going to oversee it, silly, we're gonna go on the rides, come on!

No, I don't mind at all! I love reading your posts!!!
*Abe gets himself ready for the carnival and sits in the royal buggy, waiting for 'Ginny'. He sits back in the carriage,replaying images of Ginger in his head. In the castle Ginger lays on her bed sobbing, knowing she can't continue lying to the man she loves but having no other option she decides she must stop seeing him and act as though nothing ever happened. One of the maids walks in to push her along but Ginger wipes her tears and takes a deep sigh, gazing out her window and hugging her pillow. She looks to the maid and smiles weakly*
Ginger: Tell him to go on without me.
*The maid nods and walks off to tell Abe to head out without her. He happily agrees and arrives at the carnival in less than 20 minutes. He gets directed to the throne that sits above the carnival overlay, looking out over the people and smiling at all the happy faces. About 4 hours later one of the peasant boys walks over to Abe and shouts up to him. Abe looks down, trying to act as royal as possible, and nods to the young man*
Abe: What do you need, kind sir?
Peasant boy: Where is Princess Ginger today, my lord?
Abe: Who?
*He inches his ear toward the boy*
Peasant boy: Princess Ginger, where is she, my lord?
*Immediately the words ring in his ears and shakes his head in disbelief*
Abe: Ginger? The Princess' name is Ginny, silly boy.
*He hesitates for a minute, hoping and praying that the boy made a mistake*
Peasant boy: No sir, Princess Ginger.
Abe: Do you live near this area, boy?
Peasant boy: Yes, my lord.
Abe: Do you know of another Ginger who has a family of 6 sisters?
Peasant boy: No, my lord. The only ginger in this whole kingdom is Princess Ginger; no other woman is worthy enough for such a royal name.
*Struck with the truth, Abe freezes, unsure of what to do or say. He thanks the boy and dashes off onto his horse. While riding the whole way to the castle he burns with anger and hate*
How could she lie to me? How could she be such a coward in not telling me her real identity? And taking me for such a fool as to race back and forth! What kind of fool was I to have fallen for such a woman?!
*In the castle Ginger, dressed in her ragged clothes, packs her things and leaves a goodbye note for both Cass and her parents. She looks at her diamond ring and smiles weakly, a small tear trickles down her cheek and falls onto the diamond. She removes it from her finger and sets it on her pillow gently. She asks the butler and her personal maid to take down her baggage and set it near the front door. Abe arrives in front of the castle and leaps off his horse, bursting into the castle doors, looking around at the bags. He calls for her.*
Abe: Ginger!
*No answer. He looks in the kitchen area but finds no one. She walks over to the tall staircase and looks down at him*
Ginger: Abe? Aren't you supposed to be at the carnival?
*He bounds up the stairs and stands in front of her with all seriousness then a smile cracks upon his lips and he begins to smile. She searches his eyes and studies his face*
Ginger: Abe, what's wrong?
Abe: I love you, Ginger; marry me.
*In shock, Ginger takes a step back and looks at her clothes*
Ginger: Abe, you don't know who I really am.
*He smiles, eyes bright and heart pounding*
Abe: Yes, I do...
Ginger: I'm just a Princess, Abe; a show horse. A woman who isn't good for anything except for looking pretty; you said so yourself.
Abe: You're wrong, though, Ginger. You're far from a show horse; I thought I had everything figured out when I said that, but you proved me wrong. I'm so glad you did...
*Ginger looks down and surpresses the sobs. She inhales deeply and looks at him in the eyes*
Ginger: I made up my mind this morning; I'm leaving here, Abe, and I won't be coming back. I've done too much damage here, I've caused you so much trouble--I just can't continue--
*Abe leans in and kisses her passionately.*
Abe: The only trouble you've caused me are many sleepless nights with hopes that your answer to my one question would be, "yes".
Ginger: But Abe, I'm a liar and a fake; besides, I don't want to be a princess anymore; I want to be normal!
Abe: You may want to be normal, but you'll always be the Princess of my heart....
*Ginger begins to sob and collapses in his arms*
Ginger: Oh Ab!

Oh, that's all right, pally, I'm not knowing where to take your character as well, lol, but I've run out of ideas completely for myself, too!
*Abe grabs hold of her shoulders and looks her in the eyes*
Abe: Will you make me the happiest man on earth and become Mrs. Abe Lee?
*She smiles and leaps in his arms, kissing his cheek*
Ginger: Yes!
*He lifts her up excitedly but then sets her down and holds her hands*
Abe: I'll be right back...
*He bounds down the stairs and back onto his horse; not more than a minute after Abe leaves the castle, the King and Queen arrive in their carriage...early. Ginger slowly walks back to her room but hears the doors open again; thinking it's Abe, Ginger walks back out and giggles*
Ginger: Abe, I thought you said y--Oh, mother...father...what are you doing home so early?
*The King and Queen look around to find Ginger's bags by the front door*
Queen: What is the meaning of this?
Ginger: Mother, I can expl--
Queen: Are you running away?
Ginger: No, mother, I'm going to g--
Queen: Ginger, I want to speak with you alone; get up to your room and I will meet you there in a moment.
*Ginger goes to speak up but her mother quiets her once more. Ginger obeys and walks back to her room.*
Queen: I can't believe she's doing this to us; she knows what the rules are.
King: I think she has something to tell you, my dear.
*The queen takes a sharp sigh and shakes her head disapprovingly at all the bags then walks upstairs to speak with Ginger. She walks into the room to find Ginger sitting at the window, gazing out at the cottage she's so fond of*
Queen: *Ahem*
Ginger: Oh, hello mother, you wanted to speak to me?
Queen: What goes on here?
Ginger: What do you mean?
Queen: Why are your bags downstairs and why on earth are you wearing such a filthy rag?
Ginger: Because I'm in love, mother.
Queen: You can wear beautiful gowns and keep all your things in your room even if you're in love...who is he?
Ginger: He's amazing, mother, you and father would love him.
Queen: Is he a Prince?
*Ginger hesitates and gazes back down at the cottage*
Ginger: No...
Queen: Then I forbid you to see him again.
Ginger: Forbid?! But mother, I love him!
Queen: Love or not, I don't care; you must continue the role of the Princess and set aside your feelings.
Ginger: Set aside my feelings?! You must be a machine! How can you say such a thing? I love Abe, and he loves me--
*The Queen scoffs*
Ginger: You may think that's just downright impossible, mother, but it's true. I'd never wish royalty on my worst enemy! It's a terrible lifestyle and I swear I'll never come back to it!
Queen: Come back to it? You can never leave it.
Ginger: *Smirks* Yes I can.
Queen: Oh no, my dear, you cannot.
*Ginger walks to her drawer and pulls out the rule book*
Queen: Where did you get that?
Ginger: I snuck into your quarters and took it.
*She thumbs through it to find the correct page*
Ginger: *Reading* If a member of the royal family leaves the castle for good, the said member will never be able to return and will not inherit any money to his or her future/present family members which were disassociated with the royal family.
*The Queen sits back and smiles*
Queen: See?
Ginger: But mother...I have no intentions on returning here...and above all...I wish never to bring my child into such a world with this kind of teaching; I don't want the money.
***Greer and Cass***
*Greer and Cass sit next to the fireplace and eat oranges from the orchid outside. Abe bursts in through the door and immediately goes to his room. Greer and Cass look to each other, puzzled. Hearing the rustling around of drawers and boxes, Greer calls out to Abe*
Greer: Abe, what are you doing?
Abe: I'm looking for something...
Greer: What is it that you're looking for?
*No answer. Greer looks to Cass and chuckles, shrugging her shoulders. Abe shrieks and laughs*
Abe: Ah HAH! I found it!
*He slams the drawers and runs back to the front door.*
Greer: Hold it! What's going on?
*Abe turns around and smiles proudly*
Abe: Ginger said yes.
*Silence.*
Greer: .....Yes to....what?
Abe: She said yes to marrying me!
*Greer jumps up and runs over to Abe, giving him a huge hug*
Greer: Oh Abe, that's wonderful! Congratulations!
Cass: Congratulations, Abe!
Abe: Thanks!
Greer: What were you looking for?
*Abe reaches into his pocket to reveal a gold ring; a bit small, but a humble ring with a tiny diamond in the middle shaped as a heart. Cass, having seen quite a bit of big diamonds in his time smiles approvingly and pats Abe on the back, knowing it's the love that's put into the ring, than the diamond itself that makes it worth anything.*
Cass: It's beautiful, Abe, she'll love it.
*Abe smiles and thanks the two then dashes off toward the castle. Greer walks back to her spot next to the fire as Cass continues to stand at the door*
Greer: Cass...come over here.
*Cass turns around slowly and gazes at Greer*
Cass: Greer...I have something I've been meaning to ask you...

greer: yes cass?
cass kneals down in front of her sitting next to the fire.
greer loks into his eyes moving closer to her
cass:*takes a deep breath* i know we have only known each other for a short period of time, but when i first ran into you, i looked into those sparkling eyes and knew you were the most perfect girl in the world for me. will you marry me?
greer:do you want to?*she says anxiously happy*
cass: do i ever!
greer:oh cass! i love you. yes! yes!*she clings her arms around his neck since hes low enough to be her height while kneeling*
cass: i love you too darling!*they lean in for a passionate embrace for a kiss*
cass is ashamed of himself because he hasnt told his true love the truth about who he is. he doesnt know quite how to tell her.
