"How do you propose to find our husbands if you don't even know where they are?" Asked Amanda. "Oh, I'll find them. Unfortunately you won't live to stop me from doing so, because you'll be dead within the next four hours." Said Miss Sugar. "What?!" Cried Odette. "You heard me, you have four hours to live!" Miss Sugar said as she heads for the door.

"You won't get away with this!" Amanda said. "I've got news for you, child... I already have!" Said Miss Sugar. She leaves a minute later, but comes back within a second. "And by the way, you will no longer refer to me as Miss Sugar. From now on, you shall address me as... Sugar Pink!" She said. The bubblegum witch leaves for good this time, locking the girls up to meet a slow and painful end.

Even though the girls aren't strong enough to stand up, they still have the strength to sit upright. "Now what are we gonna do? The boys won't know where we are! And even if they do, we'll be dead once our four hours are up." Said Amanda. "There must be some kind of antidote that'll clear the acid from our bodies. Maybe Sugar Pink has it stocked up somewhere." Odette said. "If I know that woman, she won't just hand it over. Guess we're left with no other choice but to sit here and wait for death." Amanda said sadly.

The swan princess lets out a sigh and sings about how she feels right now. 

One track mind like a gold fish
Stuck inside my Petri dish
I can't breathe and I can't smile
This better be worth my while

I feel numb most of the time
The lower I get the higher I'll climb
And I will wonder why
I got dark only to shine
Looking for the golden light
Oh, it's a reasonable sacrifice
Burn, burn, burn bright

Forego families, forego friends
It's how it started, how it ends
I can't open up and cry
'Cause I've been silent all my life

I feel numb most of the time
The lower I get the higher I'll climb
And I will wonder why
I got dark only to shine
Looking for the golden light
Oh it's a reasonable sacrifice
Burn, burn, burn bright
Burn, burn, burn bright

Oh, I get dark oh and I'm in hell
I need a friend, oh but I can't yell
Yeah, I'm no good, no good to anyone
'Cause all I care about is being number one

Shine, looking for the golden light
Oh it's a reasonable sacrifice

Shine, looking for the golden light
Oh it's a reasonable sacrifice

I feel numb most of the time
The lower I get the higher I'll climb
And I will wonder why
I got dark only to shine

And I'll light up the sky
Stars that burn the brightest
Fall so fast and pass you by
Cough like empty lighters

I feel numb most of the time
The lower I get the higher I'll climb
And I will wonder why
I get dark only to shine

And I'll light up the sky
Stars that burn the brightest
Fall so fast and pass you by
Spark like empty lighters

"Even if death comes for us, I'll be happy knowing I won't die alone." Said Odette as she takes her sister's hand. "Me too. But I'd feel a lot happier if we were being held by our husbands as we breathe our last." Said Amanda. Odette nods in agreement.
