Alyssa walks at a quick pace while pulling Alina_who is practically being hauled off the ground_into the castle and to her room.

ALINA
Slow down Alyssa.

ALYSSA
That would have made sense if you didn't have to go riding on a giant bird looking like you got spat out of a tree MINUTES before the festival_celebrated by two kingdoms_begins.

ALINA
I know.

Alyssa gets into the room and Alina follows.

ALYSSA
One of which you're the princess

ALINA
I know.

Alina muffles degectably.

Alyssa shuffles through the drawers for a short while before turning to Alina and ask.

ALYSSA
Where are your clothes?.

ALINA
I don't know.

Alina answers with a very suspicious look of denial.

ALYSSA
Arrrlina?...

Alyssa said scouting towards a hamper with the pointed sound of familiarity.

The hamper was overflowing with dirty laundry and worn out clothes. Some stained with mud. Some punctured by twigs and stones. Others, ripped beyond resuscitation.

ALINA
Hehehe.

ALYSSA
Alina why is your whole wardrobe content in and about the hamper?.

ALINA
They're. . . laundry?.

ALYSSA
Heh. Laundry. Why are they all laundry. It has been what?, weeks since the thought crossed your mind?.

ALINA
Three actually. I had to start repeating pairs. This one was my last repeat.

She said smiling_surprisingly to Alyssa_to her current dress with pride on her face.

ALYSSA
Three?. How could you not do your laundry for three whole weeks?!.

ALINA
I______forgot?.

ALYSSA
How could you forget. You're a princess for crying out loud, Alina. All you had to do was call the castle laundry and hand it over.

ALINA
Am sorry.

Alina said with a sob-ish sigh and her head down.

ALYSSA
I think you're too messy to play the sorry sad princess card.

ALINA
How about the sorry sad and helpless princess.

Alina said with a sad child-like muffled tone.

ALYSSA
Errr. . .

ALINA
You know you're the only one that can help me.

ALYSSA
I wont.

ALINA
I know you want too. You know it too.

ALYSSA
No. Not this time.

ALINA
You can't say that!.

ALYSSA
Well why not?.

ALINA
Because you care for me too much.

ALYSSA
Don't be so sure!!!.

Alyssa said trying to break for the door but Alina runs right after her and tackles her to the bed.

ALYSSA
Noooo!. Get off of me!. You'd ruin my clothes. Am a special guest this year.

Alyssa squirmed under Alina as she's being cleaved to the bed by her body.

ALINA
If you don't want my clothes to mess you up then you'd have to change them cuz am never leaving this spot.

Alina said rubbing her Dusty cheeks on Alyssa's shoulders.

ALYSSA
Huh. Big talk.

ALINA
Not this time.

ALYSSA
You can't possibly be serious, are you?.

ALINA
Hmmm hmm.

Alina hummed with a wide childish smile.

ALYSSA
Then fine. I'll get Heather and we'd see what she can do.

ALINA
Yay!. That a deal.

Alina says happily before climbing off Alyssa.

ALYSSA
Grrrr....why do I always find myself in situations like this?. And why can't I not become the victimized. Just once.

ALYSSA
Okay, you wait right here while I go get Heather. It might take a while to find her since she's filling in for you mostly. Would she love to rub that in. But. Don't worry I'll pull her by the wings if that's what it takes to get her here.

ALINA

I don't think that'll be necessary. Am fine. I'll wait. Besides I should be grateful that she agreed to fill in for me for the duties I can't fulfill as a fairy of the royal family. If anything, I should be apologising for being another burden amongst all she'd been given for my sake.

ALYSSA
Hey. You don't have to apologise to anyone. And you certainly are not a burden. Though you or they don't see it yet. But this kingdom dosen't deserve you as a princess.

ALINA
Hm.

ALYSSA
Rest for a while. I'll be back with Heather as soon as possible.

ALINA
Hmm.

She nods and Alyssa goes to the door.
