*Note, if they sing, it will be in Bold, if not, they are just talking.*
Long ago, far away in a village that was on a mountain top, something amazing was occurring. At the very same time, two identical baby girls were born. One a baby Princess, the King and Queen were overjoyed! Princess Amu would have only the finest! She had long pink bubble gum hair and golden honey eyes. Her dress was pink, with a ribbon on the front. It was a beautiful dress, really it was.
The second baby girl was named Ami Her hair was brown and long, she had golden eyes too. Her dress was the same as the princesses but blue. Her parents loved her as much as the King and Queen loved the Princess. But they were worried, they were so poor. How would they be able to care for their little daughter?
Many years have passed, and the Princess learned her royal duties, while Ami worked long and hard for the seamstress Madam Luna. With lives so different, it wasn't a surprise that the Princess and the Pauper would ever meet.
But fate decreed they would.
It all started at the Royal Mine when the miners informed the Queen that the gold had run out. The Queen was shocked, how was she going to take care of her people? When she returned to the palace she gazed at a portrait of her trusted advisor Kazuomi Hoshina. But he was away on a long journey. She needed to do something quickly to save the kingdom. But what? She glanced at her daughter, and a thought struck her. Nearby lived a rich young King, who was seeking a wife.
"Oh were late, late, late!" shouted the Royal Scheduler, Dia, coming in through the room. "Weve got 20 maximum 22 minutes, before your royal fitting! And than we've got to move, move, move, to the Historical Society! And than we've got to rush, and I mean RUSH, to the Hashiba Kingdom for tea! And then-…" she trailed off as Amu walked down from her stool. All her fitters looked at her. But Amu sighed and walked away.
"All my life I've always wanted, to have one day just for me. Nothing to do and for once no where I need to be. *walks over to her balcony*With no lessons lords or lunches, or to do list in the way, no one to say when to eat or read or leave or stay!" *she twirls in her spot* That would be the day.
*SCENE CHANGED TO 'MADAM LUNA's*
Ami ran towards the clothes running and picking them up as well,
All my life I've always wanted, to have one day for myself. Not waking up with a pile of work on every shelf. With no hems in need of pressing, and no sleeves to disarray, no wedding gowns with a thousand stitches to crotchet, and no debt to pay!
Yaya, the girl she worked with, gasped. "Madam Luna!"
Both their eyes fell to the staircase, and their stood Luna, dressed like she was 80 years old.
"What do you think I'm running here? A cabaret?" asked Luna snobbishly.
"I would've said a debtors prison." Ami said to Yaya.
"Keep laughing! You'll be working for me, for another 37 years!" said Luna scoffing.
"But I've already paid off more than half!" Ami shouted.
"Well theres an interest isn't there?" Luna stomped up the steps, "your parents should've thought of that before they borrowed so much!"
"They did it to feed me!"
"Their mistake!" shouted Luna, slamming the door behind her as she left.
Ami: What would it be like to be? (Amu: What would it be like to be free?) Free!
Amu twirls around in the ballroom, "Free to try, crazy things!"
Ami twirling around in her room, "Free from endless IOU's…"
Amu: Free to fly!
Ami: Free to sing!
Amu looks out her window to see Ikuto, a man who worked for her mother. He was tall and muscular with midnight blue hair and deep blue eyes, "And marry whom I choose…"
"Im sorry my darling," said Queen Midori, "But as you know, it is vital you marry king Sohma. It is the only way to take care of our people."
"I know, its my duty." Said Amu.
"And look! Another engagement gift!" said the queen, taking the package from the maid, Su.
Amu walks away, "You would think that I'm so lucky, that I have so many things, I'm realizing that every present comes with strings."
Ami walks to her window, "Though I know I have so little, my determinations strong, everyone will gather around the world to hear my song!" Ami skips through the room.
Yaya looks at her, "Can I come along?"
Amu: Now I know I'll never be!
Ami: Soon I will forever be!
Both: FREE!
Both open the balcony windows, "I close my eyes and feel myself fly a thousand miles away. I could take flight but would it be right? My conscious tells me stay!"
Amu: I'll remain forever royal!
Ami: I'll repay my parents debt!
Both: Duty means doing the things your heart may well regret!
Amu: But I'll never stop believing!
Ami: She can never stop my schemes!
Both: Theres more to living the gloves and gowns and threads and seems, in my dreams, I'll be free!
