Barbie as the Princess and the Pauper Page #3

We couldn't afford a house.

- Oh, I didn't mean...

- I know.

Third floor on the left.

Did all my studies there.

A perfect example of 'rosa centifolia'.

My favorite!

But, you knew that.

Mmm, that smells delicous.

I'll be right back.

Like a bird that

flies in the morning light

Or a butterfly in the spring

When your spirit rides

on the wings of hope

You'll find your wings

Let's go listen, Serafina.

For you're

always free to begin again

And you're always free to believe

May you find your place

and your heart become...

G'day.

Madame Carp!

Wait, I earned that!

And you owe me. Did you really think

you could make a living as a singer?

Get back to work, girl,

or there'll be trouble.

- What a beautiful song.

- Thanks.

My Mom taught it... to... me.

Whoa.

We could be sisters.

- What's your name?

- What's your name?

- You first.

- Please, call me Anneliese.

Anneliese? You have the

same name as the Princess.

- Well...

- Oh.

I'm Erika, Your Highness.

Aren't you supposed to

be inside the castle?

I'm savoring a first and last taste of

freedom before getting married next week...

to a total stranger.

At least you're not an indentured servant.

Indentured servant?

If I'd like to have my breakfast hot

Madame Carp will make me pay

And I have to fetch the eggs myself

And the barn's a mile away

It's cold and wet and still I get

An omlette on my plate

But in my head I'm back in bed

Snuggled up and sleeping late.

- Really?

- Really, but it's alright.

I mean, I'm used to it.

And you?

- Well...

- Well?

If I want some eggs I ring the bell

And the maid comes running in.

And she serves them on a silver tray

And she brings a cookie tin.

And while I eat, she rubs my feet

And strolling minstrels play

But I'd rather be in my library

reading science books all day.

- I'm just like you

- You are?

You're just like me

There's somewhere else we'd rather be.

Somewhere that's ours

Somewhere that dreams come true

Yes, I am a girl like you.

You'd never think that it was so

But now I've met you and I know

It's plain as day, sure as the sky is blue

That I am a girl like you.

So! You're a singer?

No, I work at Madame

Carp's penitentiary.

- Uh, I mean Dress Emporium.

- I love Madame Carp's Dresses!

I made the one you're wearing.

You made this? It's my favorite.

- The design looks so complicated!

- Oh, but it isn't, really...

First I choose a fabric from the rack

And I pin the pattern down

And I stitch it in the front and back

And it turns into a gown.

I wear the gown, without my crown

And dance around my room.

And imagine life without the

strife of an unfamiliar groom.

But I'd never let my Mother know.
