THE FOLLOWING CONTAINS MATURE THEMES

***

Jack: Sarah

Sarah turns around to see Jack standing in the doorway

Sarah: Hey, what's up?
Jack: Your friend had a nice conversation with me...

Sarah raises an eyebrow

Sarah: About what?

***

Sasha: I can't believe you are letting this happen

Lezibel shakes her head

Lezibel: Trust me, I don't, but sooner or later it will come crumbling down because he will realise he is just a gardener
Sasha: I think he wants more than just Sarah

Lezibel stands up and stares at Sasha

Lezibel: What do you mean? Come on spit it out!
Sasha: Money, status, anything he can get his hands on
Lezibel: I need to talk to Sarah about this

***

Sarah: I can't believe she said that...

Sarah sits down next to Jack

Sarah: I will speak to her at once and figure out what made her say that
Jack: Sarah, I'm afraid I will never be accepted here

Sarah puts her arm around Jack

Sarah: Don't say that.. I'll do whatever it takes to make them stop saying such horrible things.

***

Sarah: Sasha

Sasha walks up to Sarah

Sasha: What do you want?
Sarah: You must apologise to Jack at once, I meant what I said before.
Sasha: I meant what I was saying

Sarah shakes her head

Sarah: I have had a lot of men over the years beg for my hand in marriage, and I can tell you that none of them were genuine. I don't see that in Jack, I see a person who doesn't look at me differently. I see a person who cares about me...

Sarah steps away

Sarah: I never want to hear you say such things again
Sasha: Your mum agrees.

Sarah looks at Sasha

Sarah: I don't care, I simply don't care

***

Lezibel is sitting at a table chatting with Lilith, who is a hologram on the table

Lezibel: I just can't stand her, she is getting too wild
Lilith: She sounds annoying

Lezibel nods and puts her head on her cupped hands

Lezibel: I don't know what to do though, I'm trying to think of a way to get rid of her and that horrid man
Lilith: Maybe you should get rid of him first

***

Sarah: Sir Potter spoke to me

Sarah turns around to Jack

Sarah: He reckons it would be splendid if you had your first public appearance
Jack: When would that be?
Sarah: Today

Sarah looks back at Jack

Sarah: It's not that bad
Jack: Says you who has always been in the public eye
Sarah: Jack... I'll help you

Sarah hugs Jack then looks back at him

Sarah: Come on, we don't wanna be late

***

The crowd cheers and Sarah waves and smiles. She looks at Jack

Sarah: You can wave you know, they won't bite
Jack: Nah, it's ok
Sarah: Seriously, come on

Jack waves at the crowd then looks at Sarah

Sarah: See, they love you!!
Jack: No, they love you

Sarah smiles

Sarah: Sometime I forget about how wonderful this is.

Sarah looks at Jack

Sarah: When you are behind the walls of the palace, the people seem almost fictional, but out here, the reason why I do my job is clear.

Jack kisses Sarah

***

Sarah: Sir Potter?

Sarah gets home and sees Sir Potter, Jack has already gone back to working

Sir Potter: Princess, how are you feeling?
Sarah: Wonderful

Sarah smiles

Sarah: I haven't felt this happy for very long time.
Sir Potter: So I take it, you and Jack are getting along
Sarah: Yeah.

Sarah sits down

Sarah: The palace isn't too happy about us though
Sir Potter: I thought that would happen
Sarah: I do my job better when I'm happy, I'm not going to be broken hearted just because of who they approve of or not.
Sir Potter: How about the people who live around you?

Sarah stands up

Sarah: All my life I have lived for other people, for crying out loud I can't even walk outside without being recognised. I can be selfish this once.

***

Sasha: Your majesty

Lezibel sees Sasha

Lezibel: Sasha, what do you want to chat about this time?
Sasha: Sarah is not even seeing my point of view
Lezibel: That's because it is young love, she won't see our points of view

Lezibel raises an evil eyebrow and gives a demonic giggle

Lezibel: If she ends up broken hearted it is not our fault

***

Sarah: Jack

Sarah walks out into the garden

Jack: Hey
Sarah: I have been thinking

She looks into his eyes

Sarah: I am so angry at the moment
Jack: Come sit down

Sarah sits on a bench then Jack sits beside her

Sarah: I am so sick of everyone trying to control me.
Jack: I know

Sarah looks up at him

Sarah: I can't even go anywhere without guards coming, my mum disapproves of everything I do, my best friend is turning her back on me and the interest of the people are at stake. Why can I never get a break?
Jack: I don't know, but look, you make so many people happy, including me..
Sarah: Really? Cause I feel like I just cause you guys grief. I mean doesn't it annoy you that we can't do things normal couples can?
Jack: Look Sarah, as long as I'm with you, I'm ok. I don't care if we can't do things normal couples can...I...

A gun blows out a bullet from the palace and it lands in Jacks arm

Sarah: Jack?? Jack!!
