Arthur: (Yells) Jason Get in here!
Jason: (Enters stage right) yes Uncle Arthur
Arthur: I told you not to call me that it makes me sound like an old man.
Jason: Sorry
Arthur: Besides I am the king of Avalon
Jason: Yes your majesty, so what did you want to see me about
Arthur: My spies have informed me that you have been outside palace walls. Frolicking around with these common folk again
Jason: But they are subjects of your own kingdom.
Arthur: Arth-dom my dear son. They are my subjects Jason not yours, and I suggest you learn your place here.
Jason: But I thought my place was being prince.
Arthur: It is and as a prince it is your job to stay within the castle walls.
Jason: But how will I get to know the people, or travel or meet a girl.
Arthur: I'm sorry my son I didn't hear that last part I thought you said meet a girl.
Jason: You heard correctly I did.
Arthur: (Laughs) Oh my dear boy you don't need to be thinking about meeting a girls.
Jason: But I thought I was….
Arthur: (Yells) listen Jason White if you can't act like a prince then you will not be one (Arthur snatches Jason's necklace and throws it on the floor then pushes Jason on the
Page: (2)
ground in anger) from now on you will cook, clean , and, scrub for me. You will be my servant boy.
Jason: Servant boy? But that not fair what about my self-defense classes.
Arthur: You will quit them. It's about time you learn some responsibility around here. And besides not everything is fair in this world and besides I am your Guardian until you are married.
Jason: (Jason stands back up) But you're also my uncle.
Arthur: How dare you. Guards!
(Two guards enter stage right behind Jason)
Guard 1: Yes your majesty.
Arthur: Get this servant boy out my sight.
Guard 2: Yes your majesty.
(The Guards grab Jason by the arms and drag him off stage)
Arthur: alone at last (Arthur walks toward the mirror) Mirror, Mirror in my presents please tell what king is the bestest.
Mirror: For you my king you're great but soon Jason White will steal your fate.
Arthur: (Angrily) What! That little brat will still take my thunder in the future! this cannot be, I've put up with that little brat for sixteen years, and now he's going to steal my crown just like his low life father and now look at where he is DEAD! Deader than dead why he's so dead that….
Mirror: ok we get it
Arthur: I have to do something about this but what.
Mirror: Well my king instead of sending out people to kill the boy for you why don't you just kill him yourself instead.
Arthur: Mirror that is the most heinous, idiotic, most…ingenious plan you have ever come up with.
Mirror: But I was just kidding.
Arthur: No it's brilliant if those worthless hunters after all those traps I had them set can't kill him…. then why not me it as easy as apple pie.
Mirror: but your highness that's cruel to just up and kill him what will your people think and plus you will get caught
Arthur: who cares what the people think as far as they will come to find out jack white died in his sleep. (Arthur smiles evilly while the curtains close)
-Act 1 Scene 2-
Time and Place
Inside the woman Scullery
(Casey, Lacey and Macy are sitting around talking about Prince Jason)
Macy: I honestly don't even know why you even think that Prince jack is the one for you when I'm clearly his type.
Casey: you're crazy I'm clearly the one for him I took a quiz in Knightly Beat that proves it.
Lacey: both of you are wrong me and him have way more in common than the both of you.
Macy: Oh really like what?
Lacey: like…umm let me get back to you on that.
(Alicia enters stage left)
Macy: oh look girls if it's isn't the boy-girl freak.
Alicia: look Macy I don't have time for your drama today.
Macy: why do you have some pigs to wrestle out of the barn?
Alicia: Look Macy it isn't my fault I'd rather learn how to defend myself from danger than sit around and talk about some stuck up, pretty boy prince all day.
Lacy: first of all he is not stuck up or a pretty boy. Second of all he's the most handsome boy in Lakefield.
Alicia: Well do you like him because he's cute or do you like him because of his personality
Macy: Alicia I don't know why you are lying to yourself
Alicia: what are you talking about?
Macy: It's so obvious you like Prince Jason
Alicia: that's preposterous
Lacy: oh please I saw you talking to him yesterday
Alicia: First of all he came up to me, and second he was asking me where his Uncle the king was
Macy: Lacy don't waste your breathe Alicia is probably right
Alicia: I am?
Macy: Yeah I mean why would the prince fall a for a worthless, poor, peasant girl who thinks she's so tough when really she is just scared little troll
Alicia: Look here Macy I suggest that you stop or else I will make you eat those words, literality
Macy: bring it on barn girl!
(They start arguing and getting in each other faces)
Margret: (Comes in stage left) what is going on here?
(The girls stop fighting and look at Margret)
Margret: this is place of business not a drama corner
Macy: tell that to Alicia she's the one who started it
Lacy: Yeah all Alicia's fault
Casey: yeah Alicia is always creating a quarrel
Margret: I highly doubt that, now everyone except Alicia outside the king's sheet are not going to fold themselves.
Macy: fine. Hey girl's maybe if we're lucky maybe Jason might be out there flexing
(They scream in excitement as they exit stage right)
Margret: and as for you
Alicia: look Auntie I didn't do anything to those girls they started it you know they always do
Margret: I'm not worried about that I need to talk to you about something in private
Alicia: what is it?
Margret: well you know how your mother told the queen that you would one day protect her son from King Arthur when you were trained enough and ready
Alicia: Please tell me you're joking
Margret: ok I'm joking
Alicia: really?
Margret: No I just said that to spare your feelings love
Alicia: You have to be kidding me. Sixteen years of knights training and learning every form of self-defense imaginable all wasted just babysit some prince.
Margret: Hey you need to stop with that and buck up young lady. Your mother made a promise do you want let her down now do you
Alicia: Well….
Margret: Alicia!
Alicia: No, She would want me to do this on her behalf
Margret: Now that's what I like to hear. Now you have to get pack we are planning a cast-away wagon that will take you and Jason to a safe cabin where you will protect him until further notice
Alicia: ok, speaking of his royal highness how is he taking the news that his uncle wants to kill him.
Margret: he's actually taking it pretty well
Alicia: really now
Margret: if by well you mean pacing back and forth in complete and utter disturbance
Alicia: ouch
Margret: yeah, but what do you expect it's not like the old chap was expecting this to happen and acted accordingly
Alicia: well maybe he saw it coming I mean if my uncle was trying to kill me I would have saw some signs
Margret: well you better get packing remember eight o' clock and not a moment later.
Alicia: yes, Aunt Margret
(Margret exits stage left)
Alicia: I still can't believe it, me, watching over a prince as if I'm some royal body-guard. I just don't understand it but I must do this for my mother's sake she would have done the same. But I just don't get it he's a prince what does he need saving for he can take care of himself. Well no matter it my job to protect him so off I go… but why me of all the people in this kingdom they pick me to do some guards dirty work well I have no choice but for once I like to be the hero fight my battles not watch over the wealthy. But maybe that all I'm destined to be and nothing else. (sighs)
(Alicia exits stage right)
(Guard 1 and 2 enter stage left)
Guard 1: did you hear that
Guard 2: yeah that girl has some serious issues with the prince
Guard 1: no you nimrod (hits him over the head) that girl and her aunt are planning something to help protect prince Jason when Arthur said to his mirror that he was going to kill him tonight in his sleep.
Guard 2: so you think we should tell the king there plan
Guard 1: we should if we want to keep our heads
Guard 2: I like my head on my body
Guard 1: then we better go tell him
(The two guards exit stage left and the curtains close)
-Act 1 Scene 3-
Time and Place
Inside Arthur's chambers
Arthur: Its simply perfect plan mirror while our dear prince is asleep I shall sneak into his room and cut his throat then I will leave one of servant gloves on his bed and they will think that one of the servants did and not me. Isn't it a marvelous idea don't you think so mirror?
Mirror: marvelous indeed your highness (mumbles) even though it was my idea
Arthur: what was that mirror
Mirror: nothing your majesty
Arthur: that's what I thought
(The two guardsenters stage right)
Guard 1: your highness we bring you some interesting news
Arthur: not now I'm busy glorifying myself
Guard 2: but you're excellently its very important
Arthur: more important than myself in my finest hour
Guard 1: well equally important your highness
Arthur: well, what is it
Guard 2: well, you see you excellently you know Maiden Margret
Arthur: yes, head of the lower scullery clan
Guard 2: we overheard her talking to some girl about protecting the prince and him running away to a safe cabin tonight at eight
Arthur: Impossible, how did they find out my plan.
Guard 2: I don't know you're excellently
Arthur: you mention a girl was involved, did you catch her name?
Guard 2: well I think her name was umm… Moesha, No Victoria, no, that's not it…. I got Alicia you're highness
Arthur: Alicia huh? Why does that name sound so familiar?
Mirror: your highness if I may Alicia is the name of the girl whose parents you had killed because the mother was hatching a plan with your late wife to not only protect young Jason but to dethrone you. You also sent the young child to work as a low scullery maid for the rest of her life.
Arthur: oh right, I've done so many killing and sentencing I can't even keep up.
Guard 1: what do you want us to do about it sire
Arthur: I want you and the other guards to capture Jason white and Alicia before they get off castle grounds tonight.
Guard 2: what about Maiden Margret?
Arthur: I shall deal with her later
Guard 1: and what do you want us to do with them once we capture them sire
Arthur: kill the girl yourself but bring Jason to me
Guard 1&2: yes your majesty
Arthur: now be-gone I have some very important things to attend to.
(Both guards exit stage right)
Mirror: sire might I suggest that you are going a little overboard with this, I mean killing your nephew out of pure envy is bad enough, but killing a young innocent girl caught in the cross fire is just insane.
Arthur: first of all the girl seems more than innocent if she is going to protect the prince, and second of all when you get to be ruler for as long as I have you learn that even the little people are trying to knock you off your throne therefore you have to be on your guard.
Mirror: but your highness if I may….
Arthur: listen here this is my kingdom and I decide who lives and who dies in this kingdom and if some scullery maid wants to try and de-throne me then she must die do I make myself clear
Mirror: but your highness I really think that…
Arthur: look mirror if you question my authority one more time I' m going to smash you into a thousand pieces with a stone
Mirror: wow you are really evil
Arthur: oh mirror complements, won't get you everywhere
Mirror: (mumbles) neither will murder
Arthur: (Arthur picks a rock off the floor and puts in throwing motion) what did I tell you mirror
Mirror: wait your highness are you sure you want to do this
Think of all the things we have been through
Arthur: you mean all the sarcastic comments you make every time I come up with a plan
Mirror: well there that
(Arthur starts to throw the rock)
Mirror: wait don't you want me to tell you where Jason is now
Arthur: ok I won't smash you
Mirror: great
Arthur: now tell me where is Jason now
Mirror: I see he is outside near the wishing well
Arthur: oh well then it won't matter anyway in a few hours Jason white will be no more and then I shall rain fairest in the land
(laughs evilly)

Jason: I see (looks doubtfully)
Alicia: look can we get ready and go
Margret: yes you two should really get going
(Jason and Alicia get into the wagon)
Margret: now you better hurry up and go before…..
(The guards show up and grab Margret)
Margret: Arthur's guards show up
Guard 1: Jason White and Alicia you are under arrest. under the orders of King Arthur now put your hands up and do not move
(Jason and Alicia put their hands up)
Alicia: ok no need to be drastic….PUNCH IT DRIVER!
(the wagon drives off while the guards chase after it on horse-back as a result as each guard jump on the back of the wagon and attack while Jason and Alicia defend themselves. While the battle is progressing one guard stabs Alicia in the arm and throws the knife in wheel of the wagon causing the wagon to lose control and steer into a tree making Jason and Alicia crash while the guards retreat back exit stage right)
Alicia: whoa! That was some crash
Jason: you're telling me. That was some nice fighting skills back there
Alicia: why thank you your highness
Jason: you know you're good for a you know
Alicia: a girl
Jason: well yeah
Alicia: typical
Jason what's that suppose to mean
Alicia: it's so typical that any male royal thinks that a women can't do more things outside of cooking and cleaning
Jason: And it's so typical that someone who doesn't know royals or men that much would say that
Alicia: oh I'm sorry did I insult you lord prissy pants
Jason: look all I know is that we're lost and it's getting darker by the minute
Alicia: you're right we should go find shelter (they look around the stage but find nothing)
Jason: why don't we just sleep under this tree here?
Alicia: good idea Ow! (hold her arm in pain)
Jason: what's wrong with your arm?
Alicia: nothing let's just…
Jason: (Jason grabs her arm and pushes up her sleeve) you have a cut
Alicia: it's just a little cut I'll be fine
Jason: no you won't you got stabbed in the arm and if we do not heal it soon it will either get infected or you will bleed to death.
Alicia: yeah I guess your right
(they walk over toward the tree)
Jason: (Jason gets a tiny bottle and healing gauze from his pocket) this should fix you right up
Alicia: thanks. Your pretty good at healing for a
Jason: a guy
Alicia: well yeah.
Jason: so you think that all Royals don't care for the well being of others
Alicia: well I ….. Now you're just putting words in my mouth
Jason: ok I'm sorry but you started it
Alicia: look let's just get some sleep because tomorrow we have to find real shelter now that our plans have gone south literally
Jason: agreed besides (yawns) I'm tired any way after all that fighting to save your life
Alicia: You saved my life that will be the day goodnight wonder-boy
Jason goodnight

Alicia: yes I saw a cottage that's across from a stream just up a head
Jason: well then let's go
Alicia: slow you're road you got have to eat something first or you will pass out. So I filled my canteen with water from the stream (tosses her canteen to him) and grabbed a couple of bananas and berries to eat
Jason: are you sure those berries aren't poisonous
Alicia: I know they aren't because I know they red ones are poison and the blues are good to eat
Jason: how do you know that? In fact how do you know all about survival in the forest?
Alicia: Margret taught me everything I need to know about surviving on my own from telling berries apart to shooting an arrows to making a bear trap
Jason: why?
Alicia: look do you want to keep asking questions or do want to eat and get going
Jason: sorry I just want to know a little bit more about the girl who's protecting me
Alicia: and you probably won't not because I'm not an open book
Jason: well fine then (swallows his food) I'm ready when you are. Lead the way
Alicia: Gladly
(They walk for a while across the stage until they stop in the middle of there tracks)

Jason: (draws out his sword) show yourself
(Mia and the other fairies enter stage right)
Alicia: umm… you guys are
Mia: Fairies we know thanks for the tip captain obvious
China: Mia don't be rude we have guest
Mia: Guest? More like trespassers
Kara: yeah they could be like cat watchers or something
Aria: I think you mean cat burglars
Kara: oh right (laughs)
Aisha: well the way they dress they look homeless
Lola: Aww that so sad (cries)
China: that enough all of you don't you think we should at lest ask them who they are and what are they doing here before we start accusing them
Mia: I guess that's the best idea
China: may I ask who are you
Jason: I'm Jason white
All: the Prince
China: I knew you looked familiar
Marsha: yes and he's more handsome in person
China: and who is the girl
Jason: this is my friend and protector Alicia
Marsha: Now why would a big, strong, handsome guy like you need protection by a girl.
Jason: we are fugitives to King Arthur and he wants to kill me so we ran away from his kingdom and found you're cottage
All: Awww
Alicia: And we were wondering if we could stay here until this whole thing blows over
Mia: I don't know, how do we know that she's isn't working for Arthur
China: ignore her she just doesn't want share the house with others. But we would be delighted for you to stay with us. Beside we need some help around the house any way
Alicia: Awesome, what can we help you with first?
China: Well if it's not too much trouble could you gather fire wood it's suppose to be cold tonight
Jason: sure we don't mind
Alicia: by the way we introduced ourselves to you but you didn't quiet tell us who you are
China: oh, where are my manners? I'm China
Kara: I'm Kara
Mia: I'm Mia
Aisha: I'm Aisha
Aria: I'm Aria
Lola: I'm Lola
Marsha: and I'm Marsha
ALL: And we are the seven fairies of the cottage
Alicia: yes that good to know
(They walk outside and the fairies exits stage right)
Alicia: Must you always have to sound like your own pity party in front of people
Jason: well excuse me if my own uncle wants to not only me killed but you as well and I can't help but feel terrified
Alicia: Whatever
Jason: what is your problem, ever since you met me you act as if there is some type of unidentified tension between you and me
Alicia: Tension what tension?
Jason: look whatever my Uncle did I apologize for it and is there any way I can make it better please let me know
Alicia: It's not that simple
Jason: well maybe it might help if you tell me about it I can help
Alicia: I told I'm not too keen on talking about my past
Jason: then don't think of it as talking about you're past think of it as telling me who the real Alicia is as a friend
Alicia: Well I guess I better tell somebody. When I was five years old my mother was good friends with your mother the queen and she always talked to you're mom about raising me to become this fierce warrior to one day defeat Arthur and take back the kingdom for you to rule (starts to tear up). But I guess one of Arthur's Hench-men over herd and told Arthur because after my mom met with the queen and she came home about six guards barged right into our house and chopped my moms head off a killed her and then they took my dad chopped his head off and killed him too and then they took me to king Arthur and he sentenced me to work as a scullery maid for the rest of my life. And that's why to this day I hate royals
Jason: wow I'm really sorry I swear I'll…..
Alicia: no, don't feel sorry for me what's done is done
Jason: no, Arthur should pay for his crimes and once I'm king I shall give Arthur the punishment he deserves
Alicia: that's sweet (wipes tears) but it wasn't all bad I met my aunt Margret and she taught me everything I need to know about fighting, self-defense and wilderness survival, that's why I know so much about it.
Jason: well if I had to be protected by anyone I'm glad it's you
Alicia: thanks. Ok I told you my baggage now answer me this why does your uncle want to kill you?
Jason: well when my father was king he banished Arthur out of the kingdom after repeated attempts of stealing the crown for himself. But Arthur was pissed and wanted revenge so he snuck into the castle later that night and then put arsenic into his wine and later that day when he was giving a toast he drank his wine a died right there in front of his people. Then Arthur stepped in as king, and I hear he has this magic mirror that know all and sees all and usually it says that he is fairest in the land but is said that I was so I guess he's jealous.
Alicia: and now he wants to kill you for it so you don't take over as king and he can keep his crown
Jason: right
Alicia: wow talk about family drama
Jason: but I'm not too discouraged I know I'm going to get out of here and then take back my kingdom
Alicia: well until then we are stuck getting fire wood for a bunch of fairies (grabs the fire wood) I'm going to go inside (starts walking away to stage right)
Jason: Alicia wait!
Alicia: (turns around) yeah
Jason: what are you doing tonight?
Alicia: Umm nothing really, why?
Jason: well when we were walking toward the cottage I saw a water fall and I was wondering if you would like to have a picnic under the water fall
Alicia: I'd love to
Jason: great it's a date
Alicia: umm… yeah a date (turns toward the door)
Jason: do you want me to walk you in
Alicia: No, No I'm fine Jason you stay outside and grab a banana
