Thanks to my two new reviewers, Kathea and Charmboy4! And Charmboy4, I had originally had Harriet, Coates, and Chloe as the fairies, but it just didn't work out for me. Now that finals are over, here's Chapter 6 and the arrival of Prince Charming...uh, I mean Prince Harmon. Enjoy! - MKR

Chapter 6: Once Upon a Dream

[MacKenzie walking through the forest. she starts to sing. Birds answer her singing and wake other animals, like chipmunks, rabbits and one owl. They all come listening]
[The camera turns to the background, where Harmon rides on his horse. MacKenzie's singing is still faintly heard]

Harmon: [to his horse] Hear that, Kip? Beautiful! What is it? Come on, let's find out. [turns his horse around, but it struggles back] Oh, come on! For an extra bucket of oats, and a few carrots? [horse nods with his head] Hiyah boy!

[They ride of towards the singing. While Kip jumps over a log, Harmon gets caught in a tree and falls off]

Harmon: Ohhh!

[Harmon is heard splashing into the water. Kip holds and looks at him. Harmon sprinkles some water at Kip]

Harmon: Someone just lost their carrots!

[The camera turns again to MacKenzie. She's surrounded by the animals of the forest, picks berries and sings]

MacKenzie: I wonder, I wonder,
I wonder why each little bird
Has a someone to sing to
Sweet things to
A happy little melody.
I wonder, I wonder,
If my heart keeps singing
Will my song going in
To someone
Will find me
And bring back a love song
To me!

[speaking more to herself than to the birds, but they listen and answer her]

MacKenzie: Oh dear, why do they still treat me like a child.

Owl: Who?

MacKenzie: Why, Anna and Jaclyn and Madelynne. They never want me to meet anyone. [to the animals] But you know something? I fooled 'em. I have met someone!

Owl: Who? Who? Who? [the animals get more and more excited as she tells the story]

MacKenzie: Oh, a prince. Well, he's tall and handsome and ... and so romantic. Such a hottie. Oh we walked together, and talked together, and just before we say goodbye, he takes me in his arms, and then ... I wake up. [the animals sink their heads]

MacKenzie: Yeah, it's only in my dreams. But they say if you dream a thing more than once, It's sure to come true. And I've seen him so many times!

[A chipmunk sees the prince's wet clothes hanging in a tree. He and the other animals put their heads together, make a plan and get over to that tree]

Harmon: You know, Kip, There was something strange about that voice. Too beautiful to be real. Maybe it was a mysterious being, a wood sprite ... [Kip sees the animals running off with the clothes and neighs] Hey, stop!

[The owl dresses in Harmon's cape and hat and is lifted by birds, one rabbit each take the shoes, and together they approach MacKenzie]

MacKenzie: Oh, why, it's my dream prince! [laughs] Your highness! No, I'm really not supposed to speak to strangers. But we've met before! [dances with her 'dream prince', singing] I know you
I walked with you
Once upon a dream
I know you
The gleam in your eyes
Is so familiar a gleam [Harmon and Kip approach the scene, but hide behind a tree]

And I know it's true
That visions are seldom all they seem
But if I know you I know what you'll do
You'll love me at once
The way you did
Once upon a dream

[while MacKenzie turns around, Harmon grabs the animals and places himself instead. MacKenzie still can't see him]

MacKenzie: But if I know you
I know what you'll do
You'll love me at once
[Harmon joins her singing]

Both: The way you did
[MacKenzie stops to sing, Harmon continues]

Harmon: Once upon a dream

MacKenzie: Oh? [turns around and sees Harmon] Oh! [tries halfheartedly to run off, but is held by Harmon]

Harmon: I'm awfully sorry. I didn't mean to frighten you.

MacKenzie: Oh it wasn't that. It's just that you're a, a ...

Harmon: A stranger?

MacKenzie: Well, yeah.

Harmon: But don't you remember? We've met before!

MacKenzie: We, we have?

Harmon: Of course, You said so yourself: Once upon a dream! [sings] I know you
I walked with you
Once upon a dream
I know you
The gleam in your eyes
Is so familiar a gleam

[We see them from remote waltzing at a lake]

Choir: And I know it's true
That visions are seldom all they seem
But if I know you
I know what you'll do
You'll love me at once
The way you did
Once upon a dream

[they stop dancing. Harmon lays his arm around MacKenzie]

Harmon: Who are you, what's your name?

MacKenzie: Hmm? Oh, my name. Why, it's, it's ... Oh no, no, I can't, I ... Goodbye! [runs off]

Harmon: But when will I see you again?

MacKenzie: Oh never, never!

Harmon: Never?

MacKenzie: Well, maybe someday.

Harmon: When, tomorrow?

MacKenzie: Oh no, this evening.

Harmon: Where?

MacKenzie: At the cottage, in the glen.
