Back at Swan Lake, Speed, Jean-Bob, Kermit and Fozzie kept a look-out for Gonzo, Odette and Puffin. The sun had already set and Kermit was starting to get worried.

"Any sign of them?" he asked Speed, who replied. "Nope."

"I hope that petty Puffin knows what he's doing." said Jean-Bob.

"Look!" exclaimed Fozzie. "Up in the sky!"

Sure enough, they could see Puffin, Gonzo and Odette flying back towards Swan Lake.

Jean-Bob plucked a few fireflies with his hand and began waving them.

"Ha ha! There they are!" said Puffin upon seeing the light.

The three birds landed in front of their friends as Puffin said. "It's almost time, Odette. Look."

From their perch, they could see the moon rising out of the far mountains.

Odette started to hesitate. "I can't do it."

Puffin was stunned by her words. "Well, you have to!"

"He'll kill me, Puffin!" reminded Odette.

"If you don't do it now, Odette," said Puffin. "You'll lose your chance for life."

Odette turned to her friends, who nodded their heads yes, then turned back to Puffin. "All right, I'll do it."

She gracefully flew down to the water just as Derek arrived at the scene.

But as soon as Odette landed on the water, the clouds covered up the moon to her dismay

Once again, Derek aimed his bow and arrow at Odette, but Gonzo flew by, hitting him on the head.

Derek prepared to shoot Gonzo, but just then, a gold light loomed behind him. He turned around to see Odette transform back to her human self.

For a minute, Derek just stood there, completely speechless.

"Hello, Derek." said Odette.

Derek dropped his bow, hurried over to Odette and wrapped her in his arms and kissed her.

"Oh Derek, I've missed you so much." said Odette.

"No one believed me, but I knew." said Derek.

"You can't stay."

"Can't stay? No, I'll never let you out of my sight again."

"Listen to me, Derek."

Just then, a voice called out. "Odette!"

Odette realized that Rothbart was getting closer. "Oh no!"

"Who is it?" asked Derek. "What's going on?"

"It's him!" said Odette.

"Who?"

"The man who has me under a spell."

"Who does?"

Rothbart called again. "Odette!"

"Let him come!" said Derek. "I'll—"

"No," said Odette. "He has great power, Derek. You've got to get out of here!

"Then you're coming with me." replied Derek.

"I can't! When the moon sets I'll turn back into a swan. Please Derek, you have to trust me. Go!"

"There must be some way to break the spell."

"Oh, there is. You'll have to make a vow of everlasting love."

"I'll do it. It's all I've ever wanted."

"Then prove it to the world."

"How? How?"

"I don't know!"

"Odette!"

The sound of Rothbart's voice forced Odette to push Derek away. "Go!"

"The ball!" Derek realized. "Tomorrow night, come to the castle. Before the whole world, I will make a vow of everlasting love."

"Odette!" Rothbart called again, sounding very annoyed.

"I'm coming!" Odette called back before turning to Derek. "Go!"

"Tomorrow night."

"Yes. Tomorrow night. Now go."

Before Derek left, he tossed something over to Odette. It was a locket with a swan in front of it.

"Odette!" said Rothbart. "Didn't you hear me calling?"

Odette began to stutter. "I… I…"

But Rothbart started looking around. "I thought I heard...voices."

He parted some bushes to see going Kermit going, "Ribbit. Ribbit."

"Voices? asked Odette.

"Yes!" snapped Rothbart. "Voices."

"Well, I — I…" stuttered Odette.

Rothbart raised an eyebrow as he asked. "You what?"

Odette knew she had to tell a little fib. "I've decided to become your queen."

Her friends gasped at her words, but Rothbart hardly noticed.

"No! You mean… Hu-huh! Odette, you've made me so happy. I'll be a good king, you'll see, I'll wear nice clothes, and I'm going to get my beard trimmed. Oh, you've made me so happy, Odette, oh… by the way, you wouldn't happen to know who this belongs to, would you?"

He pulled out a bow from his cape. But it wasn't just any old bow. It was Derek's bow!

Odette and her friends gasped upon seeing the bow.

"Come to the ball?" mocked Rothbart. "I will make a vow of everlasting love."

Realizing Rothbart heard everything. Odette glared at him.

"Thought you could fool ol' Rothbart, did you?" said the sorcerer as he threw Derek's bow into the water.

"I don't care what I said to you!" shouted Odette. "I will marry Prince Derek and there's nothing you can do to stop me!"

"I hate to tell you this, Odette," sneered Rothbart as he snatched the locket away from Odette. "But you won't be going anywhere tomorrow night."

"If you want to stop me," said Odette. "You'll have to kill me."

"Yes, well, I think you've forgotten one very important thing." replied Rothbart. "There isn't going to be a moon tomorrow."

Realizing her chances of seeing Derek again were being thwarted, Odette fell to her knees and broke into tears.

Inside the castle, Rothbart was pacing back and forth.

"No matter what they do, I'm always one step ahead." he said to his pet animal. "On the other hand, Prince Derek's vow could ruin everything."

He tapped on his chin. "I'm gonna have to deal with him…but how?"

That's when it hit him "The vow! I'll get Derek to offer his vow to the wrong princess!"

"Whaa?" said the animal.

"That's it!" exclaimed Rothbart. "I'll make you look like Odette. Well, that's gonna take a lot of work, but it'll be worth it. 'Cause when he makes his vow to the wrong girl, Odette will die, then I'll finish Derek off myself. Oh, I love it! I mean, this is really classy. This is me!"
