That night, Lulu is stuck in the room in the house; but she won't be for long. Not if her plan goes according to plan. Zuzu is dressed in a white sheet pretending to be a ghost that Lulu will feign being terrified of. She doesn't want to assume the intelligence of her captures but she with what she is hearing outside at least one of them-Grace, she thinks her name is,-isn't the brightest one out of the two.
"Ready, Zuzu?" Lulu whispers to her cat. Zuzu nodding, seeing her princess smile in response.
Outside in the living room of the house, Grace and Gloria are playing cards. Grace asks her sister if she has a card to which Gloria denies, which angers Grace. "I happen to know you have a 5 of clubs!"
"What do you mean you know?" Gloria inquires.
"I saw it!"
"You mean you cheated!" Gloria growls.
"Yeah. I mean, no!"
Just then they hear the princess calling out for help. The two sisters ask her what is wrong, but she just keeps telling them to hurry and help her. Opening the bedroom door and see something white "floating" in the air and meowing. The twin sisters exclaiming "ghost!" at the same time.
"Get it! Quick!" Lulu cries.
"You're older, you get it!" Grace tells her sister trying to get the blonde closer.
"You're closer, you get it!" Gloria tries to reason shoving her sister forward.
Zuzu then wriggles out of the of the sheet and places it on the two sisters. Lulu praises her cat as she and Zuzu run out of the house and into the forest back home. If she can get back home then she can tell Shay what happened and they can find out whom they work for. After all, she heard them talking to someone last night and if they are fooled by a fake ghost costume that isn't even that very good, then they are most certainly not the ones who came up with the plan to kidnap her.
When the sisters realize that they have been fooled they come up with a quick plan to disguise Grace as the princess in case Julia decides to visit for the night. Not too long after Grace is settled in the bed a knock sounds at the door; Gloria goes to answer it to reveal Julia on the other side. Looking around Julia sees that some things seem a miss and have been moved.
"How did she escape?" Julia asks Gloria.
"Who?"
"Who? The princess, that's who! Moron! Idiot!"
"The princess is here. Sleeping. Aren't you sleeping, princess?"
"Yes!" Grace replies in a higher pitched tone. "I'm sleeping."
"Now, boss, you don't want to wake her up, do you? She's. . . . she's a Royal." Gloria says.
"She is a royal." Julia agrees. "A royal pain in my behind!" Opening the door Julia sees Grace laying in the bed with a very unconvincing wig on her head.
"Who interrupts my slipper?" Grace fake cries.
"Slumber, you idiot." Gloria whispers harshly.
"Slumber, right. I knew that."
"Get out of that bed!" Julia yells in anger. "I can figure out how the princess escaped you two. But why didn't she tell the king she'd been captured? Something's odd. I must solve this Princess puzzle if I'm to be Queen."
"Queen? Julia?" Outside, Yuto is looking through the window before ducking down so he isn't caught. He followed Julia here because he knows that Julia has something to do with Lulu's disappearance and this is where they were probably keeping her. Now if he can get away from here and find Lulu then they can go back and Yuto can reveal Serena to Shay and explain to him what happened and have Julia thrown into jail for kidnapping and treason.
"Looking for something, Yuto?" Julia asks the tutor knowingly.
"How can you be Queen?"
"You're the tutor. You're supposed to have all the answers." Julia replies before Grace and Gloria come over and place a sack over his head.
"Come here, Zuzu." Lulu tells her precious cat as they get closer to the castle. To home. She just hopes that Yuto is still here and Shay is still awake because they are the only two people she yearns to see right now.
"Who goes there?" One of the guards ask.
"Princess Lulu!" She tells him.
"If you're the princess, I'm King Shay." He remarks sarcastically.
"But, I am the princess." Lulu urges.
"Really? Then how come I just saw the princess eating dinner with the king?"
"What princess?" Lulu wonders.
"Now move along," the guard tells her in warning. "Before I lose my temper."
"You are speaking to Princess Lulu! Let me through!"
"I said move along! Now!"
Seeing the anger in his eyes, Lulu decides to take Zuzu and leave. If she isn't going to be let in her home tonight then maybe she can go into the village and find some help there. If she does then maybe she can come back in the morning and find Shay and talk to him. And get to the bottom of who is impersonating her.
Down in the village Lulu comes across Madame Camula's dress shop and remembers that her fraternal look alike works there. Maybe Serena can help her. "We'll find help in here." She tells Zuzu, but mostly to herself.
"What are you doing here?" Madame Camula comes into the back and sees Lulu near the back door.
"I beg your pardon?" Lulu wonders.
"Not another word! Come with me!" Camula grabs her by the wrist and opens the door to the room where the seamstresses work. Lulu sees a girl with short purple-and-lavender-hair with blue eyes and glasses. "Not done yet?" Camula hisses at the girl. "If you weren't such a lazy bat those dresses would be finished by now."
"How dare you speak to her that way!" Lulu hisses back. She knows it's unladylike but she really hates it when people take advantage of others.
"How dare I? H-h-how dare I? Just who do you think you are?" Camula hisses right in Lulu's face.
"Princess Lulu!"
Camula then laughs. "That's a hoot! You've got to change more than your hair and eyes to look like the princess. Why, the princess and me are close, personal friends."
"Oh really?" Lulu raises an eyebrow.
"Now," Camula locks the door they came in and goes to the door that shows the front of her shop. "Shut up and get back to work!"
"I'm warning you, if you're going to treat your seamstresses this way, we'll take our royal business elsewhere!"
"You're warning me? We'll see your attitude change by morning. You're not coming out until every dress is finished. . . . Serena!" Camula then slams the door.
"Serena?" Lulu tries to open the door only to find it locked. "Locked in again!" Great. Is this how the rest of her week is going to go?
"Serena, that is you, isn't it?" Saya asks seeing her friend for the first time in a day.
Lulu shakes her head. "When was the last time you saw Serena?"
"This morning, some man came to see her."
"Do you know what he looked liked?"
"Black spiky swept to the left with purple in the front, grey eyes, and mostly black, but he was wearing a necklace and his jacket was cream."
Lulu rests her head against the wooden door and sighs. Now it all makes sense. Something must have happened at the castle for Yuto to come and get Serena (whom is probably pretending to be her) and while her brother may have called off the search for her, the mastermind behind her kidnapping being fooled into a false sense of security so Yuto can continue to look for her and then figure out who wanted her missing and why.
She explains to Saya her and Serena's encounter and realized that they looked a great deal alike and what happened to her the night before. To prove who she says she is she shows her royal birthmark that not many people know is placed on her left shoulder.
"Well then, you majesty would you like a new dress? The one you're wearing is quite ruined." Lulu looks down at her dress for the first time since escaping that house and realizes that Saya is right. The skirt of her dress must have gotten torn when she left the forest as well as the sleeves.
"No, thank you." Lulu tells her as she sees that there are twenty dresses to make through the night and she doesn't want Saya to make them all by herself. Picking up one of the numbers that is on the style of dresses, Lulu then picks a fabric she likes (a royal red with gold trimming and designs) and starts trying to make her first dress.
"Your Highness, you don't need to do this." Saya says about an hour or two later.
"Of course I do, I can't just sit here and let you do all of these by yourself." Lulu counters as she holds up her first dress. "There, done. Sort of." The dress can reach one's ankles, but one sleeve reaches a little past the shoulder while the other reaches the elbow.
"Are you sure you want to help me, Princess?" Lulu nods. Saya smiles seeing the kindness of the heir. "Thank you."
"It's no problem, and by the way there is no need for you to be so formal you can just call me Lulu."
"Lulu? All right, Lulu."
Saya looks at Lulu and notes that besides their similar physical appearance they also have some other similar traits as well. Their determination, their willingness to help others, and a fighting spirit to fight for what they believe is right. All through the night the two work making dresses, Lulu getting much better as the night progresses. Saya finishes a total of fourteen dresses while Lulu finishes (and including the one she messed up) six. The two then go to sleep for the night; Lulu is the first one out while Saya stays up working on another dress.
