Page:(1)

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)

(Curtains close)

Time and Place

Outside the castle in the stables

Alicia: I was just went near the lake and shot some pebbles

Alicia: don't worry about me I'm fine

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

In the forest under the tree

(Its morning and Jason and Alicia are just waking up)

Jason: (wakes up) Alicia wake up we got to….. Alicia? Where are you?

Alicia: (enters stage right) wow sleeping beauty finally woke up

Jason: why were you up before me?

Alicia: well I decide to go ahead in the forest and try and find real shelter

Jason: well did you find anything

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)

Alicia: here it is

Jason: do you think anyone is in there

Alicia: Only one way to find out (Alicia goes toward the door and knocks on the door) sounds like Nobody's home (the door cracks opens a bit) and its unlocked come on

(They walk into the house and the curtains close)

(The curtains open and there in the house)

Alicia: See it looks like no one is here

Jason: well yea but isn't this breaking and entering

Alicia: I'm pretty sure they wouldn't mind

Mia: (Off stage) but yeah we do mind

Alicia: (draws out her sword) who said that?

Mia: I did

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

Mirror: and you're just not figuring this out

Arthur: if I kidnap Alicia then Jason will come running to try and save her, and when he does he'll be right in our little trap

Mirror: it's a perfect plan sire. Now what is your method of killing him machete, mace, your mighty sword?

Arthur: no I have something special in mind for Jason (Arthur walks to the table and opens a box and inside is an apple in which he picks it up in his hand and shows it to the audience)

Marsha: and you want us to make you look good

China: oh I love playing dress up in fact I just finished a new dress (the dress appears out of thin air) now honestly I think the dress should be pink

Mia: well I was thinking maybe it should be blue

China: au contraire I think it should be pink because it says she's flirty and fun

Mia: actually blue says she's more sophisticated and classy

China: It's not your fault. And I'm sorry dear but magic can't bring back the dead

Aria: wait I think I found something in my spell book.

Alicia: what's it say what's it say

Aria: It says that if one has been put under a spell by the dark one then the spell cannot be undone. However if a true hero come and defeats the dark one then all his spells will be undone
