Amy Kate Learns The Truth
"Surprise, surprise!" Mina, Raye, and Lita exclaimed.
"Happy birthday!" Raye said to Amy Kate.
Amy Kate was even more delighted.
"Oh you darlings, this is the happiest day of my life, everything's so wonderful, just wait till you meet him." Amy Kate said.
"Him?" Raye asked Amy Kate.
"Kate!" Lita scolded.
"You've met some stranger?" Mina asked Amy Kate curiously.
"Oh he's not a stranger, we've met before." Amy Kate answered.
"You have?" Mina asked curiously.
"Where?" Lita asked Amy Kate curiously.
"Once upon a dream!" Amy Kate answered Lita.
Amy Kate began to sing the same song she had sung in the forest when she waltzed with Prince Zoisite as she waltzed with Raye.
Amy Kate: I know you;
I walked with you;
Once upon a dream;
"She's in love." Raye said.
"Oh no." Lita groaned.
"This is terrible!" Mina exclaimed.
Now, Amy Kate was startled.
"Why? After all, I am fourteen." Amy Kate protested.
"It isn't that, dear." Mina said to Amy Kate.
"You're already betrothed." Raye told Amy Kate.
"Betrothed?" Amy Kate asked Raye curiously.
"Since the day you were born." Mina said to Amy Kate.
"To Prince Zoisite, dear." Raye told Amy Kate honestly.
"But that's impossible! How could I marry a prince, I'd have to be..." Amy Kate began.
"A princess." Lita finished for Amy Kate.
"And you are dear!" Raye said to Amy Kate.
"Princess Hisako," Mina told Amy Kate truthfully. "tonight, we're taking you back to your mother & father, Queen Serena & King Darien."
The rabbit monkey raced off to alert Queen Beryl.
"But, but I can't! He's coming here tonight, I promised to meet him." Amy Kate protested.
"I'm sorry, child, but you must never see that young man again." Mina said to Amy Kate sternly.
"Oh, no, no! I can't believe it! No, no!" Amy Kate sobbed bitterly.
Amy Kate raced off to her bedroom still sobbing.
"And we thought she'd be so happy." Raye said.
Back in her bedroom, Amy Kate was still sobbing, while back downstairs, Mina, Raye, and Lita transformed into their sailor scout forms.
Back in his castle, King Darien was sighing as he stared out of the window.
"No sign of her yet, Malachite." King Darien said, sighing again.
King Malachite was too busy eating.
"'Course not," Malachite said. "good half hour till sunset."
"I know, Malachite, but..." King Darien began, noticing King Malachite taking another bite of chicken.
"Ah, excellent bird! Oh now, come on, buck up, battle's over, girl's as good as here." King Malachite said to King Darien.
"I'm sorry, Malachite, but after fourteen years of worrying, never knowing..." King Darien sighed bluely.
"The past, all in the past," King Malachite said to King Darien as the lackey, Jedite arrived with his lute & a bottle of root beer. "tonight, we toast to future with something I've been saving for fourteen years, here, to the future!"
"Right, Malachite, to the future!" King Darien exclaimed.
King Malachite: Skumps;
King Darien: Skumps;
A toast to this night;
The outlook is rosy;
King Malachite: The future is bright;
Kings Darien & Malachite: The children will marry;
Our kingdoms unite;
Skumps;
Skumps;
Skumps;
"Ah, excellent root beer, and now, to the new home, eh?" King Malachite asked.
"New home?" King Darien asked King Malachite.
"Children need a nest of their own, what? Place to raise their little brood, eh?" King Malachite asked.
"Well, I suppose in time..." King Darien began.
"Of course, to the home!" King Malachite exclaimed.
Kings Malachite & Darien toasted to the new castle as they began to sing again.
King Malachite: Skumps;
King Darien: Skumps;
King Malachite: A toast to the home;
King Darien: One grander by far than a palace in Rome;
King Malachite: Ah, let me fill up your glass;
That glass was all foam;
Kings Darien & Malachite: Skumps;
Skumps;
Skumps.
King Malachite clapped his hands again as Jedite brought the blueprints for the new castle to him.
"The plans! Well, what do you think? Nothing elaborate, of course, forty bedrooms, dining hall- honeymoon cottage, really." King Malachite said to King Darien.
"You mean, you're building it already?" King Darien asked King Malachite now in surprise.
