A Royal Mix-Up (Transcript)

This is the 18th episode of Nature Squadron: Fangranger.

One day at school, the Fangrangers were reading a news story on the bulletin board about a royal family from an Arabian country coming to their city to show off their family heirloom.

Ted: I don't believe this! The King and Queen of Tigrabah are coming to the US to show off a family heirloom of theirs.

Becky: Yeah, that's neat and all, but couldn't they just show it on TV to make it easier on themselves?

Lucky: Well, you know these royal types. They like to show off, especially at royal balls.

Becky:

Denny was looking at a photo of the royal family, which were all tigers.

Denny: And it seems they're bringing their daughter with them. I gotta say, she looks very cute. ^^

Claire took a look at the picture. She couldn't help but notice that the princess was wearing a veil over her face.

Claire: How can you say that when her face is covered with a veil?

Denny: I can tell from her eyes. They look beautiful.

Claire: Yeah. (Noticing that her eyes look familiar)

Bernie: You okay, Claire?

Claire: Huh? Oh, I'm fine.

Lucky: What I wouldn't give to meet the princess of Tigrabah. I'd be her prince in a heartbeat. ^^

Ted: Me too, Lucky.

Becky: I doubt they'll let commoners into the royal ball at the hotel they're staying at.

Denny: How can you be so sure, Becky? I'm sure a princess like that would welcome us.

Bernie: How do you know?

Denny: They could be a bit more flexible than most royal families.

Lucky: I'm certain our families would've gotten invitations for the ball if that were the case.

Denny: Yeah.

Claire: So, what's the family heirloom they're showing off called?

Ted: (Looking at the article) I believe it's called the Heart of the Desert. Have a look at this photo of it. (Shows them a photo of it, which was a heart-shaped red ruby encased in a gold necklace) Pretty neat, huh?

Bernie: It looks very lovely.

Ted: I wonder what they do with it after they present it?

Denny: Likely leave it at a museum in some sorta display.

Becky: Donating their prized family heirloom at a museum? Sounds kinda risky, wouldn't you say?

Denny: What makes you say that?

Becky: It might be hard for the family to leave behind something that means so much to them in a strange place. What if somebody tries to steal it?

Lucky: Good point. But I'm sure the security guards would make sure nothing like that happens.

Ted: And besides, the royal family's traveling with guards. So, I'm sure it's in good hands.

Becky: I sure hope you're right, Ted.

Meanwhile, at a fancy hotel in the downtown area, the princess of the royal family was looking out the window wondering if she'll get out to see the city.

Princess: Oh my. This definitely is a nice-looking city. Too bad I have to stay here and prepare for some silly ball just to show off the Heart of the Desert.

Handmaiden: Princess Aaliyah, you know your parents don't want you venturing off into the city by yourself. What if someone were to kidnap you?

Aaliyah: I can take care of myself, Mother! I'm not a little cub anymore!

Queen: I know, my daughter. It's just that your father and I don't want you to get hurt. We love you so much.

Aaliyah: I realize that, Mother. And I love you, too. I'm just so bored with having to deal with the responsibilities of being a princess.

Queen: I know it's difficult, but they must be met.

Aaliyah: I know. -\_-

Queen: Besides, you're next in line to inherit the Heart of the Desert.

Down in the hotel ballroom, the King was overseeing preparations for the ball.

Penguin Hotel Manager: I'm hoping everything is to your liking, Your Majesty.

King: It had better be. (Looks at a nearby chef) You there! What's in that pot?

Pig Chef: It's the entree for dinner, Your Majesty.

King: (Sticks his finger in the pot, and tastes it) Mmmmmmm. Exquisite. What is this dish?

Pig Chef: Lobster bisque, Your Majesty.

King: Ah, excellent. Carry on.

In Verminator's lair, Verminator had heard about the ball, too.

Verminator: So a princess is coming to Oregon, eh?

Sheba: Where there is royalty, there are a lot of valuables!

Verminator: And I have an idea that might allow us to get our hands on them. We kidnap the princess and ransom her for them.

Sheba: How, sir?

Verminator: You and some Vermdemics will infiltrate the hotel the royal family is staying at, and you'll capture the princess before the ball starts. We then use a monster to pose as her, and when the king reveals any valuables they might possess, the monster will reveal itself, and tell everyone my demands!

Sheba: Brilliant, sir! I'll go tell Decepto!

Decepto: (Coming in) I just finished one! Please welcome Draxolotl!

Then, a draconic axolotl monster came in.

Draxolotl: What's this I'm hearing about a royal ball, Verminator?

Verminator: Yes, Draxolotl. You're going to pose as the princess of Tigrabah after Sheba kidnaps her so we can ransom her for any valuables the royal family might have.

Draxolotl: Oh, okay. I'll just sneak by the hotel they're staying at, and pose as a gargoyle until Sheba gives the signal. (Transforms into a gargoyle and back again) See?

Verminator: Good! Now, head over to the hotel, and await further instructions!

Draxolotl: Right! (Teleports to the hotel, and flies to where the royal suite is) Well, this must be the place. Now, I wait. (Perches onto a ledge, and turns into her gargoyle form)

Aaliyah was pacing in her room when she noticed Draxolotl on the nearby ledge.

Aaliyah: Huh. I never noticed that gargoyle before. Oh, well. (Continues pacing)

Draxolotl just stood there, while Sheba hid in the bushes nearby, waiting.

Sheba: Any minute now.

Later that night, it was time for the ball. While the guests were entering the hotel and making their way to the ballroom, Aaliyah was making a rope ladder from the dress she was going to wear and threw it out the window so she could escape into the city. She was also wearing street clothes that made her look just like Claire.

Aaliyah: I'd rather be exploring this fine city than mingling at some ball. (Climbs down the ladder)

She managed to make it down to the sidewalk, and after looking around for the guards, she managed to sneak away into the city. Meanwhile, Claire was just on her way home after doing some grocery shopping for her parents, when she walked by the hotel.

Claire: This must be the hotel where the ball is being held. (Sighs) Too bad I wasn't invited.

She was walking off when she ran into some of the royal guards, which were rhinos.

Rhino Guard 1: What the...? (Sees Claire) Princess Aaliyah! What are you doing outside your room? And in those clothes?!?

Claire: (Confused) What are you talking about? I'm not the princess!

Rhino Guard 2: Oh, no! The princess has lost her marbles!

The guards grabbed Claire and escorted her back to Aaliyah's suite.

Claire: (Getting thrown onto the floor) Hey! What's the big idea? I'm not the princess!

But, the guards closed the door.

Claire: (Looking around) I gotta say, this isn't so bad. I could probably get used to this. (Sees Aaliyah's veil, headdress, and dress on the bed) I suppose the princess won't mind if I tried on her clothes for a bit. (Grabs the clothes, and goes into the changing room)

Over at Claire's house, her parents were wondering where she was.

Mrs. Clawsky: Where could Claire be?

Mr. Clawsky: Maybe she and her friends had something to do for school?

Mrs. Clawsky: I'll call the Brownstones to see if they've seen her! (Starts calling the Brownstones)

Over at the Brownstones' house, Ted's mom was talking with Claire's mom on the phone.

Mrs. Brownstone: No, I haven't seen Claire all day.

Ted was listening in on the conversation.

Ted: Oh, boy. This doesn't sound good. What if Verminator kidnapped her? I'd better contact the others.

He hurried to his bedroom and contacted the others.

(The screen is shown to be split into five images showing each of the Fangrangers in their rooms)

Ted: Guys, my mom was on the phone with Claire's mom. She must be missing.

Becky: Oh, my. I hope Verminator hasn't captured her.

Lucky: We'd better get out there, and look for her!

Ted went back to his mom.

Ted: Mom, is it alright if I go search for Claire?

Mrs. Brownstone: Well, I don't want you to get lost as she has.

Ted: I'll be just fine, Mom. I'll let you know when we have found her.

Mrs. Brownstone: We?

Ted: My other friends also agreed to help.

Mrs. Brownstone: Alright.

Ted: Great.

And Ted headed on out. Back at the hotel, Claire came out of the changing room dressed in Aaliyah's clothes. She looked at herself in the mirror.

Claire: This outfit doesn't look too bad on me. ^^ I could pretty pass as her.

Just then, Sheba and a couple of Vermdemics appeared in the room.

Claire: Huh? Not you guys again!

Sheba: Hello, Your Highness! You're coming with us! Vermdemics, grab her!

The Vermdemics surround Claire, and they grabbed her.

Claire: What in blazes?!?

Sheba: Alright, Draxolotl! You're up!

Draxolotl: (Enters the room) Alright. Time for me to become the princess!

Sheba: Now, you pose as the princess, and wait until her parents reveal any valuables they might have brought. As for us, we're taking the princess back to the lair to wait so Verminator can ransom the princess for them!

Claire: Wait a minute, Sheba! I'm not the princess! I'm actually...

Sheba: You can't fool us!

They teleported back to Verminator's lair, leaving Draxolotl to transform into an exact copy of Aaliyah in her stead.

Draxolotl: (In Aaliyah's voice) Hello, everyone. It is I, Princess Aaliyah of Tigrabah! (Laughs evilly)

Meanwhile, the real Aaliyah was exploring the downtown area, admiring the sights.

Aaliyah: Wow! The city looks gorgeous at night.

She then sees a couple of frogs performing some break dancing for some people passing by.

Aaliyah: I wonder what they could be doing? I think I like this.

She went over to watch the frogs. She thought it was amazing.

Aaliyah: We never have something like this at our palace.

Meanwhile, the Fangrangers were going around looking for Claire.

Ted: Claire!

Lucky: Claire!

Bernie: (Flying above the city) Claire! Where are you?

Denny: (Sees Aaliyah) Wait, there she is!

Becky: What is she doing?

Denny: Watching a couple of break dancers!

Ted: Well, we'd better go get her!

They all ran over to Aaliyah, and she was surprised to see them.

Ted: There you are, Claire! Your parents have been worried about you!

Aaliyah: Uh.... May I help you people?

Becky: (Confused) What the...? Claire, it's us! Your friends, the Fangrangers!

Aaliyah: I've never met you people before in my life! And my name's not Claire!

Lucky: (Getting worried) Uh-oh! It looks like Verminator's done something to her that caused her memory to be wiped!

Ted: I'm afraid so. We'd better take her back to Swiftpaw. He can probably restore her memory before we bring her home!

Denny and Becky grabbed Aaliyah by her wrists, and they started taking her back to their base.

Aaliyah: Hey, unhand me, you brutes! Is this any way to treat royalty?

Bernie: Oh, dear! It's pretty bad!

Ted: Well, I'm sure Swiftpaw can fix this!

They all teleported back to their base, and they showed Aaliyah to Swiftpaw as they explained what was happening.

Ted: And when she saw us, she didn't know who we were.

Acornio was examining Aaliyah to see what the problem was.

Swiftpaw: Well, Acornio.

Acornio: You aren't going to believe this, but...this isn't Claire.

Fangrangers: IT'S NOT?

Aaliyah: That's what I told you! And what is this place anyway?

Bernie: So if you are not Claire, who are you?

Aaliyah: I am Princess Aaliyah.

Fangrangers: Princess Aaliyah?

Aaliyah: Yes! I snuck out because I was tired of being kept inside all the time. I wanted to see what life was like outside of being a princess.

Denny: Well, that explains it.

Swiftpaw: This might be a problem, you guys.

Lucky: What is that? The fact that we accidentally revealed our identities to a princess because we got her mixed up with Claire?

Swiftpaw: No! Worse! Verminator sent his latest monster to the palace. He must be going after the princess!

Aaliyah: But I'm right here!

Then they saw the image of the palace showing what appeared to be Princess Aaliyah.

Bernie: I think I know what happened. Our friend, Claire, who we mistook you for, must have been found by your guards and mistook her to be you.

Aaliyah: Oh, my.

Ted: And I think Verminator's forces must've kidnapped Claire, thinking she was you, and that monster must be attending the ball disguised as you... or rather her... or... oh, my head hurts!

Denny: I know. It's very confusing.

Becky: Anyway, who knows what Verminator and his forces are doing to Claire right now.

Meanwhile, at Verminator's lair, Sheba and the Vermdemics returned with Claire and had presented her to Verminator.

Sheba: We've got the princess, boss! Now, we just need to wait for Draxolotl to give us the word about any valuables the royal family has.

Verminator: Good work, Sheba. In the meantime, I'd like to see that pretty little face of hers.

Verminator then pulled off the veil and headdress and saw that it was Claire under them the whole time.

Claire: What's up, Verminator?

Verminator: (Gasps) You idiot! This isn't the princess! It's Fang Gold!

Sheba: She is?!? (Looks at Claire) Holy cow! I believe you're right, boss!

Verminator: You may not be the princess, but you look enough like her to help us continue with our plan. Just as long as you cooperate.

Claire: Not a chance, Verminator!

Verminator: That's not what I call cooperation! (Shoots sleeping gas from his tail at Claire)

Claire: (Dropping unconscious)

Verminator: (Giving Sheba Aaliyah's veil and headdress) Put this back on her, Sheba. I'm sure the royal family won't know the difference.

Sheba: Yes, sir.

And Sheba proceeded with the scheme.

Verminator: One way or another, I will have whatever the royal family has.

Back at the base, the Fangrangers have come up with an idea to sneak into the ball, and stop Draxolotl.

Ted: Okay. We'll sneak into the ball disguised as workers to try and stop Verminator's monster. Denny, Lucky, and I will disguise ourselves as hotel waiters, while Becky, Bernie, and Aaliyah go in disguised as royal handmaidens.

Becky: Good idea, Ted. At least we'll get to see the ball.

Aaliyah: Do you think that my parents will be fooled?

Bernie: Do you have any better ideas?

Aaliyah: I guess not.

Lucky: What'll we do when we show up?

Ted: We wait until Draxolotl reveals herself when Aaliyah's parents show off the Heart of the Desert. That's when Verminator's goons will arrive with Claire to reveal his demands. When they make the exchange, we reveal ourselves.

Denny: That sounds like a good plan, Ted!

Ted: Thanks, Denny.

At the hotel, the ball was going on. Nobody was suspecting that the princess, whom they've been mingling with, was actually Draxolotl, and that the real princess was disguised as a royal handmaiden alongside Becky and Bernie, catering to their needs. Ted, Denny, and Lucky were disguised as waiters of the hotel, offering refreshments to the guests.

Lucky: (Approaching a wealthy walrus couple) Hors d'oeuvres, sir?

Walrus Man: Delighted. (Takes one)

Ted: (Taking a look around, and contacting the girls) Psst. Becky! How are things going on your end?

Becky: (Serving drinks to a polar bear man, and answering his call) Pretty quiet here, Ted. No sign of Verminator's goons, yet.

Bernie: But we'll keep our eyes peeled.

Ted: Great.

Meanwhile, a disguised Aaliyah approached her imposter, Draxolotl, and offered her some refreshments.

Aaliyah: (Trying not to blow her cover) Ah, um... Your Highness. Would you care for some refreshments?

Draxolotl: (Trying not to blow hers as well) Uh... sure. (Takes a few, lifts up her veil, and shoves them in her face)

Aaliyah: (Embarrassed) My, you certainly have an appetite, Your Highness.

Draxolotl: Yeah, so? (Remembering to act nice) Oh, I mean, yes. I guess I am kinda hungry.

Bernie was trying not to laugh, but Becky gave her a stern look, getting her to stop chuckling a bit.

Bernie: Sorry.

Becky: It's fine. Just try to stay focused.

They waited for quite a while. Aaliyah wasn't sure how much more she could take, dealing with a monster pretending to be her, while she in turn was pretending to be a maid.

Aaliyah: Oh, dear. I can't believe this monster is pretending to be me.

Becky: (Comforting her) Don't worry, Your Highness. I'm sure things will turn out.

Just then, the king was ready to present the Heart of the Desert.

King: May I have everyone's attention, please? It gives me great pleasure to come all this way from Tigrabah to present to everyone our family heirloom.

Ted: This must be it. Be ready, everyone!

A couple of royal servants arrive with a drape-covered box.

King: This priceless treasure has been in the royal family for generations, and this is the first time it has set foot in America

Denny: This is it!

Bernie: This is it!

Draxolotl: This is it!

King: Ladies and gentlemen! I present to you, the Heart of the Desert! (Removes the drape, revealing the Heart of the Desert in a display case)

Draxolotl: Yes! That must be the valuable treasure Verminator's looking for! (Sheds her disguise, revealing her true form)

Everyone: (Gasping in horror)

Ted: C'mon, guys! While Draxolotl's distracting everyone, we'll head out and transform!

Becky: Right! (Turns to Aaliyah) Wait here, Your Highness. Verminator's goons will be here, soon.

Aaliyah: Okay.

The Fangrangers hurried out and soon returned in their suits.

Ted: Hold it there, Draxolotl.

King: Are they...the Fangrangers?

Queen: They came at a good time!

Ted: What did you do with the real princess?

Draxolotl: Oh, don't worry. My boss has her safe and sound!

Then, Verminator, his henchmen, and a couple of Vermdemics appeared with Claire in their possession. Verminator approached the King and Queen and introduced himself.

Verminator: A pleasure to meet you, Your Majesties. Allow me to introduce myself. I am Verminator, scourge of the stars, and the biggest bad guy in Oregon.

Queen: Oh my goodness.

King: So, you're the monster who has my daughter? If you so much as harm a hair on my daughter...

Verminator: Oh, relax. I haven't harmed your daughter. Yet. (Shows the king the unconscious Claire) I'll give her back to you if you hand over the Heart of the Desert. (Holds out his hand)

King: (Looks at the Heart of the Desert, and back to Verminator) Is this some kind of trick?

Ted: It is a trick, your majesty! You shouldn't trust this rat!

Verminator: Ah, Fangrangers! I figured you'd be here.

Ted: And we're gonna make sure he doesn't give you his family heirloom!

Lucky: Yeah!

Verminator: I believe I'll have my cohorts take care of you!

Sheba: Gladly, sir. (Draws her swords, and joins with Draxolotl)

Draxolotl: Let's take this outside, shall we?

Draxolotl and Sheba charged at the Fangrangers, and they started fighting. The Fangrangers were able to lead them outside the hotel.

Verminator: Now that those pests are out of the way, the Heart of the Desert, or we'll really harm your daughter!

King: (Seeing how there's no other option) Fine. (Takes the Heart of the Desert out of its case, and gives it to Verminator) You have what you want. Now, release my daughter.

Verminator: Very well, then. Release the princess.

Decepto uses his magic to wake Claire up, and the Vermdemics return her to the king and queen.

Queen: Oh, Aaliyah. I'm so glad you're safe. (Hugs her)

Claire: Uh, yeah. Me too.

Decepto: Now what, sir?

Verminator: Since we're already out, let's see Draxolotl destroy the Fangrangers.

Fangulee: An excellent idea, boss! Let's go!

Verminator and his minions disappeared from the ballroom to go watch the fight outside.

Aaliyah: (Looks over to Claire and then whispers) Hey, you!

Claire turned to see Aaliyah.

King: You aren't badly hurt, are you?

Claire: I am just fine. I just need to freshen up a bit. I'll see you in a bit.

And Claire hurried over to Aaliyah.

Claire: So you're the real Princess Aaliyah?

Aaliyah: Sure am. I can't believe that we look so much alike. And, you are Fang Gold?

Claire: That's me. I guess my friends thought you were me, didn't they?

Aaliyah: Yeah. But I won't tell anybody. Don't you worry.

Claire: Thanks. Now let's switch back. I need to help my friends.

Aaliyah and Claire went to Aaliyah's bedroom, then Claire transformed and headed outside to meet with the other Fangrangers.

Aaliyah: Good luck, Claire!

Outside, the Fangrangers were dealing with Draxolotl, Sheba, and a couple of Vermdemics while Verminator, Fangulee, and Decepto were watching and eating refreshments from the ball. Draxolotl breathed blue fire at Ted, Becky, and Denny as they charged at her! She then used her wings to create a gust of wind to blow Bernie and Lucky back a bit, and onto the street.

Draxolotl: Feeling winded, Rangers?

Then, Claire came in and slashed her claws at Draxolotl!

Claire: This is for impersonating me impersonating the princess!

Ted: Thanks for the assist, Claire! Good to have you back!

Claire: The princess has decided not to reveal our identities to anyone.

Ted: That's good. But why don't we get back to fighting this monster?

Draxolotl: (Drawing a sword) Now, you're starting to annoy me!

Draxolotl then charged her sword toward the Fangrangers, but Ted kicked the sword away.

Draxolotl: AAAH!

Ted: Now you are unarmed! (Swipes his bear claw weapons at her)

Draxolotl: Owey!

Sheba was slashing her swords at the girls.

Sheba: I was disappointed, Fang Gold! You made for a perfect princess!

Claire: Thanks. But I like being me. (Throws a roundhouse kick at Sheba)

Sheba: AAAH!

Becky: Princess or not, Claire is not the girl you should be messing with!

Bernie: You got that right, Becky!

Claire: Yeah!

Sheba: Grrrrrrr. (Continues fighting with the girls)

Bernie: How is it going, for you guys?

Ted: Not too bad.

Claire: Mind if I finish Draxolotl off?

Denny: By all means, "Your Highness".

Claire: Very funny.

She then got her tiger claws in their very powerful state.

Claire: Fang Gold Tiger Swipe! (Swipes at Draxolotl, knocking her back)

Draxolotl: Oof!

Verminator: They're getting the upper hand on Draxolotl! Fangulee!

Fangulee: Yes, sir! Go, my pets! Give Draxolotl power!

Fangulee's bats flew around Draxolotl, and shot beams at her, making her grow giant.

Draxolotl: Looks like I'm still in the game!

Claire: Does she think she has the upper hand? We'll show her! Nature Fang Tiger!

Nature Fang Tiger arrived and Claire got on board. The rest of the Nature Fang Beasts arrived and formed NatureFangOh.

Ted: Okay! Let's show this draconic amphibian who's boss!

Fangrangers: Right!

Draxolotl: Oh, yeah? Watch this! (Breaths blue fire at the two robots)

Becky: Rabbit Fan!

NatureFangOh: (Converts the Rabbit Ears into a fan and blows the fire away)

Becky: This should cool her off!

Draxolotl: Wanna bet? (Uses her wings to blow the fire back at them)

NatureFangOh and Draxolotl kept blowing the fire back and forth until the Tiger Fang Fighter leaped into the air, and stomped on the fire, putting it out.

Lucky: Thanks, Claire!

Claire: No problem! Now to finish business.

The Tiger Fang Fighter proceeded to swipe its claws at Draxolotl. Draxolotl tried to fight back with her own claws, but the Tiger Fang Fighter was able to overpower her and send her flying onto the ground.

Draxolotl: Aaauuuggghhh!!!

Claire: There! She's all yours, you guys!

Ted: Great! Let's finish her off with the Nature Fang Sword!

The Nature Fang Sword then appeared in NatureFangOh's hand!

Ted: Nature Fang...

All; Final Strike!

(Slashes at Draxolotl)

Draxolotl: AAAAH! I wanted to rule my own kingdom! (Falls and explodes)

Verminator saw Draxolotl get defeated and was disappointed by the loss.

Verminator: Drat! The Fangrangers have destroyed another perfectly good monster. But, no matter! At least we have the Heart of the Desert in our possession.

Decepto: (Looks at the Heart of the Desert closely) Uh-oh....

Sheba: What is it, Decepto?

Decepto: I've examined the Heart of the Desert very closely, and... it's fake!

Verminator, Fangulee, and Sheba: WHAT?!?

Verminator: That can't be true! (Grabs the Heart of the Desert) Let me see for myself!

Verminator then throws the Heart of the Desert onto the ground, and he stomps on it with his foot. It then broke into a million pieces very easily.

Fangulee: Nothing but red glass!

Verminator: Why those... this piece of junk's not even worth a fortune! Mark my words, Fangrangers! You haven't heard the last of Verminator! (He and his henchmen disappear)

The next day, the Fangrangers were enjoying the pizza when they got a buzz on their acorns.

Ted: (Looking around, and answers his acorn) What's up, Swiftpaw?

Swiftpaw: Rangers, something arrived at the base. Would you get here, please?

Ted: We'll be right over!

The Fangrangers finished their pizza, paid for the pizza, and got outside. They teleported to the base, where Swiftpaw and Acornio were waiting for them.

Lucky: What is it, Swiftpaw?

Swiftpaw: This chest showed up this morning.

Becky: Well, let's see what's inside.

Acornio opens the chest, and inside were valuable treasures from Tigrabah.

Bernie: Wow! It's authentic Arabian treasures!

Acornio: (Sees a note as well) And there's a note!

Ted picked it up to read it.

Ted: Dear, Fangrangers. It was an honor to meet with you all, even if it was the result of some confusion. I asked my parents if you should be rewarded, and they said that you should have these valuable treasures. I am hoping that I can help defend the world in the same way as you one day. Sincerely, Princess Aaliyah.

Becky: Well, that's very nice of her. ^^

Claire: And it's great to know that she's inspired to defend the world one day. ^^

Lucky: Claire, do you think you would ever want to be a princess?

Claire: In all honesty, it was nice to be treated like royalty for at least one day.

Bernie: But not a whole lifetime?

Claire: Certainly not.

Bernie: I'm with you there.

Denny: I guess there are ups and downs to everything, even royalty.

Ted: Guess so.

And everyone had a good laugh.

To be continued...
