(In the palace)

Gilbert: Okay. I'll go.
Matilda: One other thing, no one must know who you really are, except the woman you choose as your bride, until we announce it.
Gilbert: Okay. As you wish.
(At Gigi's house)
Anne: Please Gigi, please let me go to school.
Gigi: All right.
Anne: Thank you, Gigi.
(Next day at school)
Teacher: Class, today we have two new students. Anne and Gilbert.
Anne: Hello.
(Gilbert walks in)
Gilbert: Sorry I'm late.
Teacher: That's quite alright Gilbert. As I was saying, this is Anne Shirley and Gilbert.
Brenda: Teacher, how come you did not tell us Gilbert's last name?
Gilbert: Because my parents are related to the king, queen, and prince and so am I but the king and queen don't want me to reveal my last name so nobody except our close friends, knows we're related to the king and queen.
Brenda: If you want we could go out and see if we have sparks since you're Gilbert Blythe, the prince of our country.
Gilbert: I am not the prince. I am merely his friend.
Brenda: Yeah right. My room is full of posters of you and your parents. I think I'd know who you are.
Gilbert: Fine, I am Gilbert Blythe, but if ANY of you treat me different because I'm the prince, you will be banished and never welcomed again.
(Gilbert looks over at a very scared and beat up Anne, realizes he loves her and wonders why she gets beat up)
(After school)
Gilbert: Hey Anne, can I talk to you for a second?
Anne: Sure. I-
Leah: Have to come home and do chores for our mom, Gigi.
Anne: No. I'm going to talk to Gilbert. Gigi will beat me up but I don't really care.
(Walking down Lover's Lane)
Gilbert: So you get beat up by your mom?
Anne: Step-mom.
Gilbert: Huh?
Anne: She's my step-mom. My mom and dad died in the war. My mom was a nurse and my dad was a soldier.
Gilbert: Then how is she your step-mom?
Anne: She said, when she took me in, that I had to tell everyone she was my step-mom or she'd kill me. Please don't tell anyone about this.
Gilbert: Of course not. Do you know why I'm in regular school?
Anne: No. Why?
Gilbert: I will be twenty-one in two weeks. I have to have chosen a bride by then. How old are you?
Anne: Twenty-one in two weeks.
Gilbert: What day is your birthday?
Anne: Monday.
Gilbert: So is mine.
Anne: That's very strange. We don't look alike though so we can't be twins.
Gilbert: Anne, can I ask you a question?
Anne: Sure.
Gilbert: I had a motive for singling you out. I wanted to ask you if for two weeks you'd date me, then on our birthday, if you realize you love me, I will propose. Okay?
Anne: How do you know you love me?
Gilbert: When I first saw you, I knew I loved you. When I found out your step-mom Gigi was beating you up, I had to force myself not to banish your step-mother and step-sisters.
Anne: Okay. Yes.
Gilbert: Yes?
Anne: Yes, I'll date you for two weeks, even though it was love at first sight for me too.
Gilbert: You loved me as soon as you saw me?
Anne: Yes.
Gilbert: Wait. Did you love me before or after you realized I was a prince?
Anne: Before. I knew I loved you when I saw you come inside the classroom. When I found out you were a prince, I figured that you would never love me back so I blocked love from my heart, unless by some weird happenings, you loved me too.
Gilbert: Whoa. I was thinking the same thing.
Anne: Really?
Gilbert: Yeah.
Anne: How about we get married sooner then?
Gilbert: When will I propose?
Anne: You'll take me to dinner with your parents on our 21st birthday and you'll propose then.
Gilbert: Okay. Let's seal the deal with a kiss.
Anne: Okay.
(Anne and Gilbert kiss as Gigi, Leah, and Brenda come out of the shadows)
Gigi: Anne, you are coming home with us. Right now. You're also never seeing that boy again. EVER!
Anne: But Gigi, I love him.
Gigi: He's just doing this to take advantage of you.
Anne: No he's not.
Gilbert: I'm going to give you a choice, Gigi, either Anne stays with me in the palace and I don't banish you or, you don't let her come and you will always be a stranger to everyone in the world. What's your choice?
Gigi: I'll let Anne stay in the palace with you.
Anne: Thank you Gigi.
Gilbert: Let's go Anne.
Anne: Okay.
(Anne and Gilbert leave)
(At the palace)
Gilbert: Anne, would you rather stay here for a minute and I'll come get you as soon as I tell my parents about you or come with me?
Anne: I'll come with you.
Gilbert: Okay.
(Julien and Matilda come into room)
Gilbert: Mom, Dad, I'd like you to meet Anne Shirley.
Julien: So gorgeous. She will make a great wife for you my son.
Matilda: I agree with your father, Gilbert.
Gilbert: Mom, Dad, I can't go back to that school.
Matilda: Why?
Gilbert: One girl figured out I was the prince and told everyone.
Julien: WHAT?
Gilbert: One other thing. Anne gets beaten up by her step-sisters, Brenda and Leah so can you send a moving van to go get her stuff, so she can stay here.
Matilda: Why would she stay here?
Gilbert: I told you. She gets beaten up by her step-mother and step-sisters.
Anne: I'm actually afraid of my step-mom and step-sisters.
Matilda: Oh. Okay. We'll send for a moving van to get your stuff. Anne, do you want everything in your room?
Anne: Yes, please.
Matilda: I'll go take care of that, then.
Anne: Thank you Queen Matilda.
Matilda: Just call me Matilda.
Anne: Okay.
Gilbert: Thanks mom.
Matilda: You're welcome, Gilbert.
(Matilda and Julien exit)
Anne: Thank you Gilbert.
Gilbert: If you want, I can take you on a tour of the palace.
Anne: I'll bet it'll be fun with you as the tour guide.
Gilbert: And you'll have fun with me, I guarantee it.
