  Stay close in my arms

  Holding my hand.

  ALL stop dancing.

  LEANDER

  I've not danced since I made an honest woman out of a young dishwaser.

  COSMO

  A what?

  HILLARY

  We never told you, because we thought you'd be ashamed, but-

  LEANDER

  -but...I guess you suffer from the same problem as your old man. Finding smart, pretty girls attractive.

  YALENA

  Smart?

  LEANDER

  I suppose...I suppose...

  COSMO

  You'll give us your blessing?

  LEANDER

  I...suppose.

  COSMO

  [to YALENA] We're getting married.

  YALENA

  We're getting married.

  COSMO and YALENA kiss.

  DORIS

  Congratulations!

  LEANDER

  Let's announce to the people that they have a new royal family member. Princess Yalena!

  YALENA

  Princess?

  HILLARY

  Yes. Princess Yalena...and my son, Prince Cosmo.

  YALENA

  [to COSMO] I love you.

  COSMO

  I love you.

  COSMO and YALENA kiss.

  LEANDER

  Let's go and celebrate!

  ALL leave except EUNO. HE walks towards the audience.

  EUNO

  Now the story is at its end. We have ridden the waves of adventure and have finally landed on the shores of fate. Share this story with others. Go and tell what you saw; a kidnapped prince, a courageous princess-to-be, a proud king and queen, the death of a great warrior, the fury of a nasty troll, the vengeance of a very smelly witch!

  EUNO backs off.

  EUNO (CONT.)

  You know. You know. I know too. We both know.

  DORIS enters.

  DORIS

  Hey. Like, you're going to miss the parade and stuff. Leander's pushing off executions tomorrow, and Cosmo's setting up a...dance-thing in the town center.

  EUNO

  More dancing? Yippie!

  EUNO dances over to Doris, then stops.

  EUNO (CONT.)

  But I don't have anyone to dance with.

  DORIS

  I'd dance with you, but I have to warn you. I’m not that pretty.

  EUNO

  Who cares? I'm blind.

  DORIS

  Good point. Let's go, hotstuff.

  EUNO giggles.

  EUNO

  Okay.

  EUNO is about to leave, then points into the audience.

  EUNO (CONT.)

  You! You there! Story's over. You can use the restroom now.

  DORIS and EUNO exits.

  END ACT I, SCENE VI
