The Princess Diaries 2: - The Way It Should Be!

I have re-written the movie, but all the characters etc belong to Meg Cabot and Disney.

Part One – Dancing in the moonlight

She stood on the terrace, gazing out at the stars and the full moon; the beautiful extensive palace gardens lay before her. She took a deep sigh; she was, for the first time, feeling content with her life. Mia was getting use to living at the palace, and her duty she was a great princess, and Clarisse knew that one day she would be a great Queen too. Yet something was missing, she loved a man with all her heart and soul, and he loved her just as much back; and yet they couldn't be together, it wasn't 'allowed' as such. 'Stuff Parliament' she muttered. She began to cry, she would find someway, but until then, it was tearing her heart out, not being able to love him, except in secret. She sat back down on the little stone balcony, burying her face in her hands, she cried harder.

He watched her on the camera, his heart reaching out to her, holding her close. He switched off the camera and slipped out of the security room, and down to where she sat. She didn't see him approaching behind her.

'One knight in shining armour, here to rescue damsel in distress. How may I be of assistance?' Joseph bowed gracefully, Clarisse laughed wiping her eyes.

'Oh Joseph!' she stood up and wrapped her arms around his neck. He simply held her, letting her cry it all off, 'they don't want me to have you!' she choked.

'Parliament?' he questioned, seeing her nod he continued, 'well… they are a bunch of stuffed up old gits, who wouldn't know love if it hit them in the face with a barge pole!' Clarisse laughed, leaning away to wipe her face once more.

'Stuffed up, old, and gits they may be but they have an awful lot of power!' Clarisse said, wishing that she could change that.

'We'll find someway my darling' he kissed her gently on the forehead, she wrapped herself close to him, the only place she felt truly safe.

'Dance with me' she whispered into his ear. Silently the pair slowly waltzed to a silent song, holding onto their silent passion, their love only witnessed by the moon and the stars.
