Princess Protection Program Overview

What are you doing here? Donnie's driving us until I get my new ride. Isn't that sweet? It's sweet. Um, there's no room for me. Sure there is. Come on. Come in. No, she's right. Brooke's already wrinkling my after-lunch outfits. No, I'm not. Chelsea, this is high school, not Vegas. You don't need a costume change. Right. But you might want to think about it. I'm sorry, Carter. Hey, thanks for the bait. See ya. Bye. I can't stand them. They're such princesses. You said that like it's a bad thing. Carter, they're teenage girls. They're probably just jealous. Yeah, I'm pretty sure they're not. It's Mason. Yes, sir. No, sir. Right away. Leaving again? Two days max. It's no big deal, it's just a routine op. That's what you always say. Just be careful, okay? Always. You and me, pal. You and me, dad. Walking and walking as your adoring subjects welcome you. Dimitri, my coronation is one month away. Why do we have to practice now? Ah, the rehearsal is so that everything will be perfect. Princess, what a beautiful coronation dress you are wearing. Who made, I ask, the sign? You did, Mr. Elegante. So I did. I am brilliant, no? Thank you for coming to help, Rosalinda. Now that my husband has passed away, only she can become queen of Costa Luna. But it is so much for someone so young, and I'm afraid that General Kane will take advantage of that. I'll be here, Sophia. I'll protect him. She's my own. I know you will, Major Mason. I know you will. Sounds like you mean it. Vamos, mamá. Prepare to face your subjects, Rosalinda. Honor guests, family, friends. I present to you, Princess Rosalinda Marie Montoya-Flores. Costa Luna, she is willing to be your queen. If any person has a reason to object, let him come forward and be heard. Aye. object. The princess is too young to be queen. Costa Luna and Costa Estrella are two tiny countries who must unite and stand together against the world. Therefore, for the good of both our countries, I, General Magnus Kane, declare myself. El Presidente de la Republica de las Costas! Seaside! Who's there? Go now, Major Mason! Go now! Hurry, my queen! We must go now! I'm here to Detective, you need to trust me. But what about my mother? She's going to meet us, but we need to hurry. You ready? Yes, yes. Yes, darling, yes. I knew General Kane would try something like this, so I made a plan to protect you. You must trust Major Mason. You must do everything he says. Do you promise me you will do that? Yes, Mama, I promise. We need to move. Okay. Mama, where are we going? Oh, no, not we, Mija. You. The general will say you abandoned the country, but I must say it so the people know that you didn't do it. No, not without you. So no matter what happens, you never forget you are a princess, huh? Don't worry, Mirena, we will be together very soon. We gotta go now, let's go. Welcome to the World of Warcraft Episode 1 Warcraft 1 Warcraft 2 Warcraft 3 Warcraft 4 Warcraft 5 Warcraft 6 Warcraft 7 Warcraft 8 Warcraft 9 Warcraft 10 Warcraft 11 Warcraft 12 Warcraft 13 Warcraft 14 Warcraft 15 Warcraft 16 Warcraft 17 Warcraft 18 Warcraft 19 Warcraft 20 Warcraft 21 Warcraft 22 Warcraft 23 Warcraft 24 Warcraft 24 Warcraft 25 You will never find her. But as long as she remains free, there will be hope in Costa Luna. I could not agree more. But the princess is only a girl, Madame. She will contact her mother. And when she does, I will bring her back to Costa Luna, where she will rot with her mother in a tiny dirt cell. You will both become a tragic symbol of futility to those who would defy me. Take her away. What is this place? You'll see. Door opening. Door closing. What are you... Where am I? Is this some kind of prison? Not prison. Protection. Princess Rosalinda Marie Montoya Fiore, you are now in the safe custody of the International Princess Protection Program. The PPP. I've never heard of it. Nobody ever hears about this. Until... Good work, Major. Thank you, Director. 7-3. Security. You'll be safe now, Princess. How long am I staying here? Until you're ready for Stage 4. Stage 4? What is Stage 1? Extraction. That is what brought you here. Stage 2? Transition. Transition to what? Stage 3. Come inside, why don't you? And I will explain everything. Welcome, Rosalina, to the operational heart of the Princess Protection Program, the top secret agency funded by the world's royal families. We are actively providing protection to 29 princesses, all of whom have been threatened in one way or another. Hi, ma'am. Oh, of course, right. This is Princess Chandra. Last January, Major Mason rescued her from a politically motivated coup. We have placed her where no one will find her. Let's just say she's a little farther north than she's used to. She is freezing. Probably. But she's safe. Let's take a walk, shall we? Wait. Chloe, report. Princess 383 has had a successful extraction. She arrives at 100 hours. Princess 299 is still rejecting all attempts at transformation. Oh, and Princess 107 is in need of... First I start with the hair, and then the wardrobe. Until you are unrecognizable as princesses. Choco! No, stop! I do not know any of you people. I want to speak with Major Mason. I only trust Major Mason. Is everything alright? Take me back to my country. Princess, I'm sorry, but General Kane has taken control of your country and assumed command of its government. But I must go back. And you will, as soon as we find a legal way to remove him. In the meantime, you have to let us protect you. But what about my mother? Who's protecting my mother? You are. As long as you're in Princess'protection, your mom will be safe. Please. General Kane is hoping you'll contact her so he'll know where to find you. What if he does find me? He'll make an example of you by sending you to prison or a work farm. And Costa Luna will become part of his own personal kingdom with its true royal family, nothing but a memory. Bottom line, if you care about your country and your mom's safety, nobody can know who you really are. Good work. From now on, you are no longer princess. You are now Rosie Gonzalez, an average American girl. What happens now? Stage four. Great location. Where? Somewhere where General Cain will never think of looking for the Princess of Costa Rica. Welcome to Louisiana, Rosie. Go for a while at least. Here, let me get the door. Here you go, sweetie. Thanks, Ellen. Hey, looks like someone's back home again. See you tomorrow! Dad? Hello! Hey! Who are you? Rosal-uh, Rosie. Are you sure? Cause you don't seem sure. Rosie. I'm sure. Okay, so what are you doing here? Oh, Major Mason gave me this room. He did, huh? Yes. He's been very lovely. Lovely? Of course, the suite is much smaller than I'm used to, but it will feel much larger once I have that extra bed removed. It's not extra, it's mine. Will you excuse me for a second? Yes, you are excused. Hey pal! Don't pal me! You, uh, you met Rosie? Um, yeah. Who is she? Why is she in my room? I had to bring her here. The director didn't give me a choice. Okay, cause, you know, a normal dad would go to a foreign country on a secret mission and bring his daughter back a t-shirt. Not a person. You should have warned me. Carter, I didn't have a choice. She doesn't trust anybody but me. Yeah, I know the feeling. Hey. But what I do is complicated But if I thought for one second It would hurt our family Dad, I get it So you're in? Do I have a choice? Good, because I'm going to need your help She needs to stay here for a while undetected And in order for that to happen She has to blend in as a normal American teenager Yeah, no, that's not going to happen, Dad She's a princess Fine Who do I say she is? Your cousin Carter thank you if we do our job right she'll be out of here and back to her own country in no time okay so by tuesday it'll be soon i promise so you and me pal come on come on be nice You have made other sleeping arrangements? Look, the room is not yours. It's ours. We share it. Share? Share. I know that's probably a foreign concept for a princess, but what it means is that you get one side of the room and I get the other. So stay on your side. That's good. So I thought princesses had designer clothes and stuff. I shouldn't leave all that behind. I was thinking you could, you know, loan her some of your stuff. Yeah, sure, why not? Thank you. Now, we'll try again. I will after this hint. No, now. And don't look at my cards. All right, kitchen's closing. Last chance to eat something. No, thank you. I wish to sleep. Okay. You may help me prepare for bed. I may? Yes. I need a nightgown. Preferably silk. Preferably pink. Pink silk. Let me see what I got. Here. Por favor, ¿dónde está el baño? Huh? May I use your restroom? Yeah, upstairs, first door on the right. Gracias. Come on! Do they not have lizards where you're from? Maybe, but I never see them. That's why we have Henry. You have a royal reptile, Wrangler? Yes! You should get one too. Goodnight. She's gonna be okay. No, she's gonna be a royal pain. Good morning. Hey. Hey. Juice? Yeah. There you go. Coffee done? Mm-hmm. Good. Don't be shy, Rosie. Grab whatever looks good. Are you sure you don't want to ride? Yeah, I'll be fine. You coming? Where are we going? School. You're 16, you're a fool. School? Of course. Bye. Good morning, honey. Hey, honey. Whoa, who's this now? Oh, that's just my cousin. Get outside. Hello. Well, aren't you a cutie? I'm Rosie. And I am Lee. Go ahead and grab a seat. Because you can. We have a scrambling signal now. PPP link established. This is the director. What is your situation report? Princess 379 is in position. Stage 4 is complete. She's safe. That's affirmative. Absolutely safe. Could this be the queen? Obviously not, Ed. Maybe this is the queen. Well, technically no. Not yet, anyway. Nice. Honest. I like it. Um, so, I'm Ed, by the way. You're... Rosie. Rosie, I'm making a documentary. Listen, The Rocky Path from Humble Peasant to Homecoming Queen. The Queen of Homecoming? What is this homecoming? You don't, you never heard of homecoming? No, we have no such thing where I'm from. Really? Where's that? Oh, um, that's from Iowa. She's, what are you doing? I'm going to school. Bye guys. Yes, and you're supposed to act like a normal American girl. You're supposed to blend in. I'm trying. Well, try harder. I'm trying. There she is, Princess Carter! Sit down! Posse, Posse! Sit! I like Posse. Excuse me. May I have this seat? I'm sorry, I think it's school property. Yeah. Sure. Thank you very much. Boy, she's hot. Bonjour les étudiants! Bonjour! Comment allez-vous aujourd'hui? Ah! This must be our new student, Carter-Mazur-Kaze. Avez-vous étudié le français? Yes, I like French. It's such a beautiful language. I speak so much English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, and Japanese. But English is my favorite, because I'm American. Did you like it? Do you want to live in the United States, Miss Devereaux? Yes. Thank you, Rosie. Where are you my little princess? Oh, Sofia, thank you for joining me. Any news from Rosalinda? No, and there's... will never be. No, no, no, no, we must not be so negative. Perhaps, perhaps we should think happy thoughts. Shall I begin? I am picturing a dashing young general. And he is sitting on a throne. Royal subjects shower him with adoration. And what do you know? They have crowned him their king. You will never be the king of Costa Rica, not as long as I'm alive. You are ruining my happy thoughts. Take her away. This is a video of me and my brother, we're just gonna step in the middle of the town Hey, hey, no cutting! Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Hey, back of the line. Pardon? That's the rules. No cuts. Of course. Then I will not cut. Hey, Rosie, come on up with me. We need to get more meat now. Good morning, ma'am. Good morning, miss. Well, you gotta pick something. Oh, muy bien. ¿Qué es eso? Carne misteriosa. Mystery meat. Then I will have one of those. What is it? A hamburger? Gracias, senora. Next. Sometimes I wish I just disappeared Sometimes I miss a nice time Is it just me who feels this way? Trying to be what I am, but so right Yeah, I just need to see what's right Cause it looks like I'm right Check her out. Who does she think she is? Oh, I know. She thinks she's Carter's cousin. Ow. Oh, was that your leg? Sorry. She may be a leisurely cousin, but she's dangerous. Really? Why? Are you serious? Look at her. Oh, I know. I totally love her hair. Ow! What are you doing? Eating a hamburger. Have you ever tried one? Yes. And FYI, they have hamburgers in Iowa. Oh. Right. You're supposed to be blending in. I am blending. Speaking fluent French in class and eating hamburger like you're having tea with the queen. Well, how else should it be? Like this. Works. There you go. Mm-hmm. No, stop. Now. Like this? This is perfect. Can I have your attention, please? I have an announcement to make. Can we sit down and settle down, please? On Monday, we will be taking nominations for the Homecoming Court. These nominees must be girls of exemplary character. kind, intelligent, honest, charitable members of the Lake Monroe community. Now, the three girls with the most votes will become your homecoming princesses. There's more. There's more. Friday night at our annual dance, one of these lucky girls will be crowned your homecoming queen of Lake Monroe High. Thank you. You vote for royalty here? We're a democracy. We're into voting. So then anyone can be a princess? Even you? Theoretically. Excuse me, everyone. May I have your attention? What are you doing? Sit down. I would like to know... I nominate my cousin, Carter Mason, to be your queen. I think that she would make an excellent ruler. Carter! Carter! Is that the room? Wow. Looks like I'm the queen. Carter! Carter! Leave me alone. I order you to stop. You order me? You order me. I order you to take a long walk off Short Pier. You cannot order me to do anything. Want to bet? You're in my kingdom. Okay, hey, hey, hey, whoa, whoa, whoa. Whoa, what's going on? Dad, she can't do it. She can't act normal. I am normal. Oh, really? Okay, so a normal person who has never seen a hamburger before can order one in six languages? Really? You did that? I always speak to my staff in their native tongue. They're not your staff. They're lunch ladies, okay? Dad, can't you see that this isn't going to work? Carter, it's going to work, okay? We just have to give it a little time. It'll work. Hey, honey. Hello. Oh, great. Good morning, Carter. What are you doing? Chores. Chores. I do not understand. No, of course not. Perhaps I could learn this choice. You could teach me. You know, that's the best idea you've had. What must I do? We'll start you off easy. Inventory. Inventory? Counting. Count, but since... in here and put it in here. Have fun. Oh, and when you're done, there's a whole other shelf, too. One. Everything okay? Oh, yeah. Just peachy. You got the valve? Uh-huh. Stay above that line. What line? Right there. Okay. Carter, what's Rosie doing in the bait shop? Chores? Dad? Rosie! Are you okay? I'm all right. I think I need to bathe. Carter, why don't you go in and clean this up, okay? Why me? She's the one who did it. Come on, pal. I'll help you. It's not funny. Come on, you know it's a little funny. You want to laugh, too. No, I don't want to laugh. This is serious. Come on. What do you want for dinner tonight? Pizza. Pizza? We had pizza last night. How about burgers? How about this? Pizza and burgers. Pizza and burgers? Yeah. One as an appetizer or just together? I don't know. I didn't know we still had all that stuff. What's all this? A proper dinner. To thank you for helping me clean up the mess that I made in your shop of bugs. It's bait. I'm aware. Okay. Oh, here, let me. No, no. Thank you, but tonight I serve you. Oh, well, I'm not going to say no to that. It is for you. For me? To where? Oh, okay. Fine. Come on, Carter. So, um, you cook? I thought you had servants for that. Actually, my mother grew up a peasant, so she taught me many family recipes. Wow. Yeah, that sounds kind of fancy. Why don't we just order pizza? No, it's chicken and rice. Fantastic. Bring it on, Rosie. Oh, you know, I haven't had a real home-cooked meal since... Forever. Right. Let's dig in. How do you like it? That is really, really good. I had no idea you were good. Thank you. You're wonderful. Thank you. Would you like a roll? You made rolls too? Yes. I had no idea. Yes. Wow. Must be nice to play peasant for a day. Would you excuse me? You do not know me, Carter. What's the big deal? You'll be back with your servants and your personal chef and private tutor soon enough. How much did your father tell you about me? Other than the obvious, I think we're on a need-to-know basis. I think you need to know. My name is Rosalinda Maria Montoya Fiore, and I'm a royal princess. No kidding. I'm from a small island nation called Costa Luna. Never heard of it. It is not on most maps. It is very small, very unimportant to large countries, but very important to me. When my father died, he left Costa Luna to me. You don't have to tell me. One month before my coronation, our palace was attacked. Your father was very brave. He risked his life for you. I know. That's his job. He rescues poor, oppressed princesses. Did he tell you we had to leave my mother behind? The man who invaded Costa Luna now holds her as a hostage. I didn't know. They told me by becoming Rosie Gonzalez was the only way to keep her safe. Stop. It's okay. Carter, whatever I did to make you dislike me, I'm truly sorry. I will try to blend in. I will try to be from Iowa. It is the only way to save my mother's life. Let's just start over. I would like that. But you need to lighten up on this princess stuff. It's really annoying. Absolutely. Please, I only want to be this typical American teenager. You know what? I think we can arrange that. I love this place! What is it? It's a bowling alley. That's bowling. Just do what I do and don't draw any attention to yourself. Be right. All right, sure. Carter, how you doing? Hi, Ed. Hi. How you doing, Rosie? I'm good, thank you. What'll it be? Bowling, please. No kidding. Five and a half, coming up. Thank you. Sure. Um, what size? Excuse me? Your feet. What size? Oh, um, I do not know. All of my shoes are made for me. There's a shock. Just get her some shoes. Okay. I can't take my brain off the world, cause it's so hard to see I can't take my brain off the world, cause it's so hard to see Your Highness? Why, thank you, Edward. It's Edwin, actually. Edwin. That is a wonderful name. Thank you. It's been a pleasure serving you, my lady. Thank you for having me over, too. Okay. You're not blending in, pickleball. Did you see that? Yeah. Nobody ever does that for us. They do now. Your shoe's untied. Don't trip. Oh, careful there. Johnny, um, you don't have to carry that for her. She can do it herself, like a normal person. So, um, I'll just take this. What did you say? Carter. What? So Johnny is your boyfriend? What? No, no, he's just a friend. But he's very special to you. I see the way you look at him. It's the same way that Ed looks at you. Okay, you're obviously not from here, so just bowl. You first. How do I win? You win by knocking down those white pins. Okay, I'm ready. What? You may fire at the target. You may fire at yourself. This is a work of fiction. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, is coincidental. Done already, Carter? Yeah, our lane's getting a little crowded. She doesn't really like your cousin, do you? No, it's just... She can be sometimes, you know... A princess! She can wear it all. She is getting really popular. The vote is on Monday. We can't let her get more popular than we are. There's only one thing to do in a situation like this. Excuse me! Wow! Excuse me! Is it you? You are such a natural. We show us how to bowl like that? Of course. But my name is Rose. Oh, Rose, our nickname we gave you. We gave all of our friends nicknames. She's Chels. And she's Brookie. And you're Ro. You're one of us now. Carter? What? Why do you care so much for this boy, Donnie? Who says I care for him? Fine. I've been totally in love with him since, like, the third grade when he kissed me under the basketball hoop. Is that what you want to hear? He's quite beautiful. Much like a prince. I wonder if he is beautiful on the inside as well. Shall we bowl again tomorrow? I can't. I'm working at the Bates shack. I've never worked before. Is this normal? Yes. Lots of kids have jobs. Then I will help you. You can't. Why not? Because it's mine. You can't have everything that's mine. Well, just want a job so bad, just go get one yourself. All right. Good night, Carter. Thank you for giving me this job, Chelsea. No problem. Daddy owns like 17 idlies all over the South. He's the king. Your father is a king? A frozen yogurt. One more thing. You have to wear this. So these are the frozen yogurt machines. You just pull the lever and when it comes out you just put a little swirly on top and you're good to go, okay? Swirly? This is gonna be great! And all your friends will be here to support you. We all want you to succeed at your first job. Thank you so much! Uh huh! Ed! Here she is, folks. A future homecoming princess of Lake Monroe, Louisiana. Who is this natural beauty you ask? Don't tell her I'm working. This is Carter Mason. Secret identity, Baker. So confident of her innate royalty, she is completely unafraid to handle whatever disgusting creature... Hey! Isn't that bucket not on my camera? Please, turn it off. No. Today's my last day to get the before... poor footage. The princess vote is tomorrow. Then go shoot Chelsea or Brooke. Nah. I've got tons of them already. They pay me to film them. Is that why you're doing this? Because of the money? Absolutely. I'm the only senior guy in Lake Monroe who doesn't have a car. Figures. You really hate this whole princess thing, don't you? I don't hate it exactly. I just think it's shallow. Girls like Chelsea and Brooke, all they care about is shoes. Like wearing the right clothes makes them superior. I just want to do something more important. in my life, like my dad. Yeah. He does sell some sick bait. Right. So speaking of princesses, where's Rosie? How should I know? I think I just found her. Hey, I've been waiting here for like a minute. Oh, hello. My heart just stopped. Just a second. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Hurry. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on, Chels. She's dying in there. Help her out. You're absolutely right. Rookie, we should go in there. Oh, Chels, if only I had a pencil drive. Fine. Paul, will you do me a huge favor? Uh, yeah. Yeah. What are you doing? Are you okay? No, I'm okay. You said to get a job. Not this one. This job's for losers. Trust me, I've had this job. The bait shop is a step up. Hey, check it out. What is happening? Chelsea set you up. She invited all those people to come watch you make a fool of yourself. Carter, it's okay. I'm not a fool, and she cannot make something out of me that I am not. Whereas we have to do something. I will turn the other cheek, because that is what princesses do. Yeah, well, I'm not a princess. She can't be a princess. Don't worry, but she kind of can. just been texted like 10 times. Everybody thinks she's pretty cool. Tomorrow, when the whole school votes for three princesses, she could be one of them. And if she gets enough votes, she could become queen. No, I'm the queen. It's my destiny. That's kind of iffy now. I'd rather eat carbs than see her wearing my crown. That's stubborn. How? If she never becomes princess, she can't be the queen, right? I'm not sure we're going here. Grab yourself. We've got a whole lot of texting to do. So it's a skill that most Americans master in like the third grade, but it's never too late to learn. I'm ready to try. Good luck. Hello. Nice. Okay, next we'll work on slouching, eye rolling, and talking back to my dad. If Mr. Elegante could see me right now, he would be so mad at me. Who's Mr. Elegante? My royal dress designer. You're kidding, right? No. He's a close family friend. If they were ever in an emergency, he would be the first I would call. Hmm. Must be nice to be a queen. Actually, it's not all about the dresses and crowns, Carter. My mother told me that my father... My father never called himself king. To our people, he was father, brother, and friend. I hope to be like him when I'm queen of Costa Lina. Father, brother... No! I want to make a difference. To do something more important for your life? Yes. You know, you're different than I thought a princess would be. I hope that is a good thing. Yeah, it is. Thank you for helping me today. A princess is never sure who her true friend is. Today I am sure. Me too. Now I'll give myself this one and this one for bravery. and honor that thief has no honor sofia come in come in come in we have a great deal to discuss do you think it's too much i want to look my best when i announce my engagement today who could be so unfortunate as to become your bride well as a matter of fact she is standing right here in this room that's ridiculous i will never marry you ever of course you won't that Rosalinda will not know this. She will see the announcement, assume you are doing it to protect her, and can race you back to her mother's side just in time to join you in exile. The people of Costa Luna will never accept that. The same was said for the people of Costa Estrella 20 years ago, and, um, look what happened. Take her back to her cell. Oh, and, um, bring me my hair and makeup team. We must touch up this gray before I go on camera. Cheers. Sorry. Wait, where is everyone going? We must start, Carter. You're way too into this princess thing. And your princesses are... Chelsea Barnes. Mason. I did Mason. And your third and final princess is... Rosie Gonzalez. Thank you. What happened? I don't know! We texted everyone in the school. You're supposed to vote for Carter instead of Rosie. Not Carter and Rosie! This is all your fault. How is it my fault? If you're more popular, you'd be the princess, not her. I am popular! This is not good, okay? Me being a princess is not normal. Hey there. Hey, Rosie. I talked to you? Me? Her? Yeah. So, you know, there's a homecoming dance and everything, and, uh... Will you go to the dance with me, Rosie? Me? Her? Yeah. I want you to be my date for the dance. Donnie, that is very kind of you, but... No. Will you excuse me? Uh, sure. That was the most humiliating thing that has ever happened to me. And I've been humiliated a lot. What was I thinking? A guy like Donnie would never go out with me. Then he is not worthy of you. Yeah, you can say that because you're all high and royal. But I'm just a girl who sells bait. No. You are so much more. You are a princess now. Trust me, I'm not a princess. Yes, you are. You just... just do not feel like one yet. When I came here, you taught me how to act normal, not royal. Now it is my turn to teach you. You think that being a princess is superficial. Yeah, I guess. That it is about what you wear and how you look. Well, it is a little bit about how you look, but more importantly, it is about what you have to offer the world and who you are inside. Come on, Carter. Let's go find your inner princess. I can't let it out, I'm afraid It's legendary to me You're just so good with everybody. Kids, old people, you're probably even good with dogs. That is true. You're so much more generous than I thought you'd be. It is a princess's job to help people. I guess I never really thought about it. about what it really means to be a princess. Like this. I can't believe you actually have to do this. Oh, no, you don't. Wait, then why am I doing it? Because it is funny. I hate you. You do? No, no, no. No, I didn't mean it that way. I didn't mean I hate you. I hate you. I meant I hate you like you're my best friend. Oh, well, then I hate you too. And that dress is ugly. It is? No. It is beautiful. And so are you. Look. You're becoming a princess on the inside, and now you look like one too. Excuse me, I have this lame writing assignment for Spanish class. Do you think that you have something that's really easy with lots of pictures? Oh, cool. Princess Rosalinda? No way! It's Mason. What's going on? General Kane's announcement of his engagement to Dona Sofia Montoya has popped up in several tabloid magazines. The story has contained so far, but I would be lying to say I was not concerned. She'd never agree to marry him. I'm not suggesting she would, Major. General Kane's doing this to draw Rosalinda out. He knows she won't allow her mother to be forced into marriage. Absolutely. So, it is imperative that we keep this from Rosalinda. Yes, ma'am, I agree. Major, has she made any enemies? Anyone who might want to expose her identity? Not that I know of. Let's move that throne here. No. No, actually there. Oh, I know. Up there. And let's hang some lights directly on it. That might be too harsh on my skin tone. We should hire a lighting designer. The budget's gone, Chelsea. What you see is what you get. Okay. I know! A follow spot just on me. Maybe like pink or golden like the sun. It's great to be queen. Uh, you're not queen yet. Carter could win. Or Rosie. Can it, Buffy. My name's Margaret. My name's Laura. Hey, Chels. Don't call me that. You lost that right when you lost your princess-grown bait girl and her strangely formal cousin. Well, what if we could get Rosie to drop out of Homecoming altogether? She would never do that. She might. She's not who she says she is. She's Princessa Rosalinda. It's in Spanish. What does the article say? I'm not sure. What? I'm pretty not smart. Okay, let me try. It's about Rosie and her mom. One of them has fled the country, and one of them is in prison or a paper bag. I get those two mixed up. No biggie. Good work, Brookie. Thanks, Chels. I have a plan. Hey, girl. girls? Mr. Mason, is Rosie home? Maybe. What's up? Well, we're planning a little princess surprise for Carter to congratulate her. Yeah, it was Rosie's idea. She's in her room. Go on in. Can we enter, Princess Rosalinda? Yes, please enter. I've never heard of Costa Luna. Have you, Brookie? No, Chels. I do not know what you are talking about. We know all about you and your mother. And the paper bag. What? Poor Princess Rosalinda. Did you hear she's in hiding? You do not understand. I understand that you lied to us. Only to protect my mother. From the paper bag? No. Look, I will give you a reward for keeping my secret. Oh, we know you will. You do? And we already have it picked out. I don't understand. Yeah, me either. You're going to turn your crown, princess. You're going to tell everyone that there is and only will be one true homecoming queen. And that's me. That's good. Fine. You may take my crown, but you will not take Carter's. She's no fat two, Chelsea. Oh fine. Let Baked Girl play princess for one night. She just won't look like one. I'm fighting the dance! Look at what Chelsea and Brooke did. What's wrong? I have to leave, Carter. Leave? Leave where? Back to my country. General Kane is forcing my mother into marriage. Father's never gonna let you go back. He'll never know. Yeah, but I know, and I'm not gonna let you go back either. Carter, you have to stay out of this. I have a duty to my people, and this is something that you'll never understand. I've loved living here in Louisiana. And I wish my life could be like this every day. This is not reality. You think my life as a princess is some fairy tale? This here is a fairy tale. I cannot hide here anymore. Soon I will be queen of Costa Luna. My country needs me. You're right. They do need you. They need you to lead them, and to protect them. And that's something you can't do from jail, which is exactly where you'll end up if you go back to Costa Lima. Why am I letting this happen? Hello, this is Elegante. Who is this? That's not important. All that matters is I'm a friend of Princess Rosalinda and she's about to make a very big mistake. My princess? What mistake is this? She wants to come in. No, no, no, no, no. She must not. It's demasiado peligroso. It's too dangerous. I know. But I have a plan. And I'm going to need you to listen very carefully. I will do anything for the princess. Anything. Okay, to start with, I'm going to need two dresses. You okay? I'm going to miss this place. I'm going to miss you, Carter. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm going to miss you too. Rosie? Can you do me a big favor before you go? Anything. You said it is a princess's job to help others. It is. Well, the dance is on Friday night, and there's some people that I want to help. I want to make this night special for them. For all of us. Will you please stay until then? For them, please? Welcome to the Good morning, Dad. Morning. What are you girls up to? Oh, just having some friends over from school. Is that okay? Yeah, yeah, it's fine. What's in the box? Homecoming stuff. No biggie. And you are sure about this homecoming dance, Senor Legante? Absolutely. I feel in one way I'm betraying my queen. What I thought you should know, General, is for the good of Costa Luna. You did the right thing by coming to me, Senor. Fuel the jet! Tell the pilot we will be flying to Louisiana. Si, General. A lovely colour. Lovely indeed. Caribbean blue, General, to complement Princess Rosalinda's skin tone. Well, back to work. You have interest to me. To? Actually. Where did you get them? They said to call Miss Delagante if I had an emergency, and I think that this is a fashion emergency. Carter, you are brilliant. This one is yours. He says you look best in pink. And this one is mine. It's Caribbean blue. Thank you, Carter. This is a night I'll always remember. I hope so. Um, are you guys ready? Because it's getting kind of late. Come on in, girls. Helen's House of Beauty and Oakland for Business. This is crazy. Yeah. Oh, this is a great color. How do I look, Dad? I think we have a problem. I may have to stop calling you pal. All right, I gotta grab this. Um, you girls gonna be okay? No, we'll be fine. Go ahead. Sure. Of course, we're not kids. All right, well, have a good time and be careful. Nice. Ellen! All right, your highnesses. Time's a waste and the dance starts in ten minutes. Masks? What's anything but masks? Ugh! Come on! Come on! Hey! Hey! I'm stuck! Open the door, Donnie! Hello? Donnie! Donnie! Come here, come here. Are you okay? Mom! Get off! Oh! Okay freshman, I think I can take a seat. No. God, what's the problem? I thought we had, you know, something. Actually, we don't. Okay, what's up? Isn't this what you've been waiting for since, like, third grade? Before I put on this dress, you couldn't even remember my name. I might be a princess tonight, but I'll always be Bagel. And I'm proud of that. Carter, you're making a big mistake. No, Donnie. I don't think I am. You deserve better than him, Carter. I know. Too bad. It took this long to realize it. Bye. What happened to you? Shut up and fix me! Did you give me a crown? Who cares? A few minutes won't matter anyways. I'll be named queen and this will all be over. I thought we were in this together. We are. Lip gloss. No. What? I said no. You can't use my lip gloss anymore. But I have to look pretty. I'm a princess. Yeah, a terrible one. A princess is supposed to be a girl of exemplary character. A role model. But you? You're not even kind, honest, or terrible in any way. You're not even nice. I don't think I want to be your friend anymore. Oh, Rookie. Don't call me that. Carter, Rosie, I just wanted to thank you for tonight. I never thought I could look beautiful. Well, feel beautiful for that matter. Margaret, you are beautiful. I don't believe that. And thanks for not calling me Muffy. No problem. Chance. Oh, I love this song! It's called Chance! Why don't you two go ahead and be princesses? Okay. There you are! Finally! You don't understand this. I'm the-Security! I know. You're late. And what is with the uniforms? No one's wearing berets this year. Just stay out here and make sure no one gets in that dance unless they're students from Lake Monroe. Got it? Got it. Hey everybody, he's about to announce the winner. Let's put on our masks. Oh, princesses everywhere. Caribbean Blue. Beautiful, indeed. Go with me now, Princess. I know Harman will come to your friends. Attention please. I hold here in my hand the name of our 2008 Lake Monroe Homecoming Queen. And the winner is... Thank you. Since I've been here, I've learned many wonderful things. Most importantly, I've learned about friendship, and loyalty, and trust. And that those are not things that are just given, but things we must earn. So I want to thank Carter Mason for teaching me these things. And for being my friend. Carter, where are you? Hey, thank you, but I need to find Carter. Hold it right there, Princess! My crown. Hand it over. Chelsea, please. You're not going anywhere until I get that crown. Sorry, I am not okay, you've got to for this! General Kane! Well... It appears as if everyone wants to be a princess. Unfortunately, it is time for the masquerade to end. What are you doing? The plan is working perfectly. This was a very brave plan. This is my fight, not yours. You don't have to go with me. Enough! As the princess has so eloquently pointed out, this is not your fight. Good day. Good to see you again. What is the meaning of this? You are interfering with the official business of the Southern Land of Costa Luna. Maybe this will fly in your country, but here, it's called kidnap. We're turning you over to the international authorities. Get him? No, not me. How does it feel to be brought to justice by a 16-year-old girl, General? It's a little hard. I can't believe you would do this to me. That's what princesses do. They do for each other. You are truly a princess now, Carter Mason. You rightfully deserve this. Nobody goes anywhere. I'll take that. Let her go. She needs it way more than I do. Alright, come on. Hey, guard. You got him? Oh, I'm in so much trouble. What were you thinking, Carter? I was thinking I'd be perfect bait. Get it? I'm bait girl. Why didn't you just come to me? You would have never let me do it. You're lucky I was here. I knew you would be. You're always there for me. You rescue princesses. That's what you do. You and me, Val. You and me, Dad. I present to you... Queen Rosalinda Marie Montoya, fiore, oposta luna! Ladies, you're here! Excellent! Are you ready for your next assignment? I am! Oh, me too! But, um, it's a little bit warmer, my feet are still frozen from that walk through Helsinki. Carter, you can be such a princess! Something wrong with that? No.

What are you doing here? Donnie's driving us until I get my new ride. Isn't that sweet? It's sweet.

Um, there's no room for me. Sure there is. Come on.

Come in. No, she's right. Brooke's already wrinkling my after-lunch outfits.

No, I'm not. Chelsea, this is high school, not Vegas. You don't need a costume change.

Right. But you might want to think about it. I'm sorry, Carter.

Hey, thanks for the bait. See ya. Bye. I can't stand them. They're such princesses.

You said that like it's a bad thing. Carter, they're teenage girls. They're probably just jealous. Yeah, I'm pretty sure they're not.

It's Mason. Yes, sir. No, sir.

Right away. Leaving again? Two days max. It's no big deal, it's just a routine op.

That's what you always say. Just be careful, okay? Always.

You and me, pal. You and me, dad. Walking and walking as your adoring subjects welcome you.

Dimitri, my coronation is one month away. Why do we have to practice now? Ah, the rehearsal is so that everything will be perfect. Princess, what a beautiful coronation dress you are wearing. Who made, I ask, the sign?

You did, Mr. Elegante. So I did. I am brilliant, no?

Thank you for coming to help, Rosalinda. Now that my husband has passed away, only she can become queen of Costa Luna. But it is so much for someone so young, and I'm afraid that General Kane will take advantage of that.

I'll be here, Sophia. I'll protect him. She's my own.

I know you will, Major Mason. I know you will. Sounds like you mean it.

Vamos, mamá. Prepare to face your subjects, Rosalinda. Honor guests, family, friends. I present to you, Princess Rosalinda Marie Montoya-Flores. Costa Luna, she is willing to be your queen.

If any person has a reason to object, let him come forward and be heard. Aye. object. The princess is too young to be queen.

Costa Luna and Costa Estrella are two tiny countries who must unite and stand together against the world. Therefore, for the good of both our countries, I, General Magnus Kane, declare myself. El Presidente de la Republica de las Costas!

Seaside! Who's there? Go now, Major Mason! Go now!

Hurry, my queen! We must go now! I'm here to Detective, you need to trust me. But what about my mother?

She's going to meet us, but we need to hurry. You ready? Yes, yes.

Yes, darling, yes. I knew General Kane would try something like this, so I made a plan to protect you. You must trust Major Mason.

You must do everything he says. Do you promise me you will do that? Yes, Mama, I promise.

We need to move. Okay. Mama, where are we going? Oh, no, not we, Mija.

You. The general will say you abandoned the country, but I must say it so the people know that you didn't do it. No, not without you. So no matter what happens, you never forget you are a princess, huh?

Don't worry, Mirena, we will be together very soon. We gotta go now, let's go. Welcome to the World of Warcraft Episode 1 Warcraft 1 Warcraft 2 Warcraft 3 Warcraft 4 Warcraft 5 Warcraft 6 Warcraft 7 Warcraft 8 Warcraft 9 Warcraft 10 Warcraft 11 Warcraft 12 Warcraft 13 Warcraft 14 Warcraft 15 Warcraft 16 Warcraft 17 Warcraft 18 Warcraft 19 Warcraft 20 Warcraft 21 Warcraft 22 Warcraft 23 Warcraft 24 Warcraft 24 Warcraft 25 You will never find her.

But as long as she remains free, there will be hope in Costa Luna. I could not agree more. But the princess is only a girl, Madame.

She will contact her mother. And when she does, I will bring her back to Costa Luna, where she will rot with her mother in a tiny dirt cell. You will both become a tragic symbol of futility to those who would defy me.

Take her away. What is this place? You'll see. Door opening. Door closing.

What are you... Where am I? Is this some kind of prison?

Not prison. Protection. Princess Rosalinda Marie Montoya Fiore, you are now in the safe custody of the International Princess Protection Program. The PPP.

I've never heard of it. Nobody ever hears about this. Until...

Good work, Major. Thank you, Director. 7-3.

Security. You'll be safe now, Princess. How long am I staying here?

Until you're ready for Stage 4. Stage 4? What is Stage 1? Extraction. That is what brought you here.

Stage 2? Transition. Transition to what?

Stage 3. Come inside, why don't you? And I will explain everything. Welcome, Rosalina, to the operational heart of the Princess Protection Program, the top secret agency funded by the world's royal families. We are actively providing protection to 29 princesses, all of whom have been threatened in one way or another.

Hi, ma'am. Oh, of course, right. This is Princess Chandra. Last January, Major Mason rescued her from a politically motivated coup.

We have placed her where no one will find her. Let's just say she's a little farther north than she's used to. She is freezing. Probably.

But she's safe. Let's take a walk, shall we? Wait.

Chloe, report. Princess 383 has had a successful extraction. She arrives at 100 hours. Princess 299 is still rejecting all attempts at transformation. Oh, and Princess 107 is in need of...

First I start with the hair, and then the wardrobe. Until you are unrecognizable as princesses. Choco! No, stop! I do not know any of you people.

I want to speak with Major Mason. I only trust Major Mason. Is everything alright?

Take me back to my country. Princess, I'm sorry, but General Kane has taken control of your country and assumed command of its government. But I must go back.

And you will, as soon as we find a legal way to remove him. In the meantime, you have to let us protect you. But what about my mother?

Who's protecting my mother? You are. As long as you're in Princess'protection, your mom will be safe.

Please. General Kane is hoping you'll contact her so he'll know where to find you. What if he does find me? He'll make an example of you by sending you to prison or a work farm. And Costa Luna will become part of his own personal kingdom with its true royal family, nothing but a memory.

Bottom line, if you care about your country and your mom's safety, nobody can know who you really are. Good work. From now on, you are no longer princess. You are now Rosie Gonzalez, an average American girl.

What happens now? Stage four. Great location. Where? Somewhere where General Cain will never think of looking for the Princess of Costa Rica.

Welcome to Louisiana, Rosie. Go for a while at least. Here, let me get the door.

Here you go, sweetie. Thanks, Ellen. Hey, looks like someone's back home again.

See you tomorrow! Dad? Hello! Hey! Who are you?

Rosal-uh, Rosie. Are you sure? Cause you don't seem sure. Rosie.

I'm sure. Okay, so what are you doing here? Oh, Major Mason gave me this room.

He did, huh? Yes. He's been very lovely.

Lovely? Of course, the suite is much smaller than I'm used to, but it will feel much larger once I have that extra bed removed. It's not extra, it's mine.

Will you excuse me for a second? Yes, you are excused. Hey pal! Don't pal me! You, uh, you met Rosie?

Um, yeah. Who is she? Why is she in my room? I had to bring her here. The director didn't give me a choice.

Okay, cause, you know, a normal dad would go to a foreign country on a secret mission and bring his daughter back a t-shirt. Not a person. You should have warned me. Carter, I didn't have a choice. She doesn't trust anybody but me.

Yeah, I know the feeling. Hey. But what I do is complicated But if I thought for one second It would hurt our family Dad, I get it So you're in? Do I have a choice?

Good, because I'm going to need your help She needs to stay here for a while undetected And in order for that to happen She has to blend in as a normal American teenager Yeah, no, that's not going to happen, Dad She's a princess Fine Who do I say she is? Your cousin Carter thank you if we do our job right she'll be out of here and back to her own country in no time okay so by tuesday it'll be soon i promise so you and me pal come on come on be nice You have made other sleeping arrangements? Look, the room is not yours. It's ours. We share it.

Share? Share. I know that's probably a foreign concept for a princess, but what it means is that you get one side of the room and I get the other.

So stay on your side. That's good. So I thought princesses had designer clothes and stuff. I shouldn't leave all that behind. I was thinking you could, you know, loan her some of your stuff.

Yeah, sure, why not? Thank you. Now, we'll try again.

I will after this hint. No, now. And don't look at my cards.

All right, kitchen's closing. Last chance to eat something. No, thank you.

I wish to sleep. Okay. You may help me prepare for bed. I may? Yes.

I need a nightgown. Preferably silk. Preferably pink.

Pink silk. Let me see what I got. Here. Por favor, ¿dónde está el baño?

Huh? May I use your restroom? Yeah, upstairs, first door on the right.

Gracias. Come on! Do they not have lizards where you're from?

Maybe, but I never see them. That's why we have Henry. You have a royal reptile, Wrangler?

Yes! You should get one too. Goodnight. She's gonna be okay. No, she's gonna be a royal pain.

Good morning. Hey. Hey. Juice?

Yeah. There you go. Coffee done? Mm-hmm.

Good. Don't be shy, Rosie. Grab whatever looks good.

Are you sure you don't want to ride? Yeah, I'll be fine. You coming?

Where are we going? School. You're 16, you're a fool.

School? Of course. Bye. Good morning, honey. Hey, honey.

Whoa, who's this now? Oh, that's just my cousin. Get outside.

Hello. Well, aren't you a cutie? I'm Rosie. And I am Lee. Go ahead and grab a seat.

Because you can. We have a scrambling signal now. PPP link established. This is the director. What is your situation report?

Princess 379 is in position. Stage 4 is complete. She's safe.

That's affirmative. Absolutely safe. Could this be the queen?

Obviously not, Ed. Maybe this is the queen. Well, technically no. Not yet, anyway. Nice.

Honest. I like it. Um, so, I'm Ed, by the way.

You're... Rosie. Rosie, I'm making a documentary. Listen, The Rocky Path from Humble Peasant to Homecoming Queen.

The Queen of Homecoming? What is this homecoming? You don't, you never heard of homecoming?

No, we have no such thing where I'm from. Really? Where's that?

Oh, um, that's from Iowa. She's, what are you doing? I'm going to school.

Bye guys. Yes, and you're supposed to act like a normal American girl. You're supposed to blend in.

I'm trying. Well, try harder. I'm trying. There she is, Princess Carter! Sit down!

Posse, Posse! Sit! I like Posse. Excuse me. May I have this seat?

I'm sorry, I think it's school property. Yeah. Sure. Thank you very much.

Boy, she's hot. Bonjour les étudiants! Bonjour! Comment allez-vous aujourd'hui?

Ah! This must be our new student, Carter-Mazur-Kaze. Avez-vous étudié le français? Yes, I like French. It's such a beautiful language.

I speak so much English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, and Japanese. But English is my favorite, because I'm American. Did you like it?

Do you want to live in the United States, Miss Devereaux? Yes. Thank you, Rosie.

Where are you my little princess? Oh, Sofia, thank you for joining me. Any news from Rosalinda?

No, and there's... will never be. No, no, no, no, we must not be so negative.

Perhaps, perhaps we should think happy thoughts. Shall I begin? I am picturing a dashing young general.

And he is sitting on a throne. Royal subjects shower him with adoration. And what do you know?

They have crowned him their king. You will never be the king of Costa Rica, not as long as I'm alive. You are ruining my happy thoughts.

Take her away. This is a video of me and my brother, we're just gonna step in the middle of the town Hey, hey, no cutting! Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Hey, back of the line. Pardon?

That's the rules. No cuts. Of course. Then I will not cut.

Hey, Rosie, come on up with me. We need to get more meat now. Good morning, ma'am.

Good morning, miss. Well, you gotta pick something. Oh, muy bien. ¿Qué es eso? Carne misteriosa.

Mystery meat. Then I will have one of those. What is it? A hamburger? Gracias, senora.

Next. Sometimes I wish I just disappeared Sometimes I miss a nice time Is it just me who feels this way? Trying to be what I am, but so right Yeah, I just need to see what's right Cause it looks like I'm right Check her out.

Who does she think she is? Oh, I know. She thinks she's Carter's cousin. Ow. Oh, was that your leg?

Sorry. She may be a leisurely cousin, but she's dangerous. Really?

Why? Are you serious? Look at her. Oh, I know.

I totally love her hair. Ow! What are you doing? Eating a hamburger. Have you ever tried one?

Yes. And FYI, they have hamburgers in Iowa. Oh. Right.

You're supposed to be blending in. I am blending. Speaking fluent French in class and eating hamburger like you're having tea with the queen. Well, how else should it be? Like this.

Works. There you go. Mm-hmm. No, stop.

Now. Like this? This is perfect. Can I have your attention, please?

I have an announcement to make. Can we sit down and settle down, please? On Monday, we will be taking nominations for the Homecoming Court.

These nominees must be girls of exemplary character. kind, intelligent, honest, charitable members of the Lake Monroe community. Now, the three girls with the most votes will become your homecoming princesses.

There's more. There's more. Friday night at our annual dance, one of these lucky girls will be crowned your homecoming queen of Lake Monroe High. Thank you.

You vote for royalty here? We're a democracy. We're into voting.

So then anyone can be a princess? Even you? Theoretically. Excuse me, everyone. May I have your attention?

What are you doing? Sit down. I would like to know... I nominate my cousin, Carter Mason, to be your queen. I think that she would make an excellent ruler.

Carter! Carter! Is that the room? Wow.

Looks like I'm the queen. Carter! Carter! Leave me alone.

I order you to stop. You order me? You order me. I order you to take a long walk off Short Pier. You cannot order me to do anything.

Want to bet? You're in my kingdom. Okay, hey, hey, hey, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Whoa, what's going on? Dad, she can't do it. She can't act normal. I am normal. Oh, really?

Okay, so a normal person who has never seen a hamburger before can order one in six languages? Really? You did that? I always speak to my staff in their native tongue.

They're not your staff. They're lunch ladies, okay? Dad, can't you see that this isn't going to work?

Carter, it's going to work, okay? We just have to give it a little time. It'll work. Hey, honey.

Hello. Oh, great. Good morning, Carter.

What are you doing? Chores. Chores.

I do not understand. No, of course not. Perhaps I could learn this choice.

You could teach me. You know, that's the best idea you've had. What must I do?

We'll start you off easy. Inventory. Inventory?

Counting. Count, but since... in here and put it in here.

Have fun. Oh, and when you're done, there's a whole other shelf, too. One. Everything okay? Oh, yeah.

Just peachy. You got the valve? Uh-huh.

Stay above that line. What line? Right there.

Okay. Carter, what's Rosie doing in the bait shop? Chores?

Dad? Rosie! Are you okay?

I'm all right. I think I need to bathe. Carter, why don't you go in and clean this up, okay? Why me? She's the one who did it.

Come on, pal. I'll help you. It's not funny.

Come on, you know it's a little funny. You want to laugh, too. No, I don't want to laugh.

This is serious. Come on. What do you want for dinner tonight?

Pizza. Pizza? We had pizza last night.

How about burgers? How about this? Pizza and burgers.

Pizza and burgers? Yeah. One as an appetizer or just together? I don't know. I didn't know we still had all that stuff.

What's all this? A proper dinner. To thank you for helping me clean up the mess that I made in your shop of bugs. It's bait. I'm aware.

Okay. Oh, here, let me. No, no. Thank you, but tonight I serve you.

Oh, well, I'm not going to say no to that. It is for you. For me?

To where? Oh, okay. Fine. Come on, Carter.

So, um, you cook? I thought you had servants for that. Actually, my mother grew up a peasant, so she taught me many family recipes. Wow.

Yeah, that sounds kind of fancy. Why don't we just order pizza? No, it's chicken and rice.

Fantastic. Bring it on, Rosie. Oh, you know, I haven't had a real home-cooked meal since...

Forever. Right. Let's dig in. How do you like it?

That is really, really good. I had no idea you were good. Thank you.

You're wonderful. Thank you. Would you like a roll?

You made rolls too? Yes. I had no idea. Yes. Wow.

Must be nice to play peasant for a day. Would you excuse me? You do not know me, Carter. What's the big deal? You'll be back with your servants and your personal chef and private tutor soon enough.

How much did your father tell you about me? Other than the obvious, I think we're on a need-to-know basis. I think you need to know.

My name is Rosalinda Maria Montoya Fiore, and I'm a royal princess. No kidding. I'm from a small island nation called Costa Luna. Never heard of it. It is not on most maps.

It is very small, very unimportant to large countries, but very important to me. When my father died, he left Costa Luna to me. You don't have to tell me.

One month before my coronation, our palace was attacked. Your father was very brave. He risked his life for you.

I know. That's his job. He rescues poor, oppressed princesses. Did he tell you we had to leave my mother behind?

The man who invaded Costa Luna now holds her as a hostage. I didn't know. They told me by becoming Rosie Gonzalez was the only way to keep her safe. Stop.

It's okay. Carter, whatever I did to make you dislike me, I'm truly sorry. I will try to blend in.

I will try to be from Iowa. It is the only way to save my mother's life. Let's just start over. I would like that. But you need to lighten up on this princess stuff.

It's really annoying. Absolutely. Please, I only want to be this typical American teenager. You know what?

I think we can arrange that. I love this place! What is it? It's a bowling alley.

That's bowling. Just do what I do and don't draw any attention to yourself. Be right.

All right, sure. Carter, how you doing? Hi, Ed. Hi. How you doing, Rosie?

I'm good, thank you. What'll it be? Bowling, please. No kidding.

Five and a half, coming up. Thank you. Sure.

Um, what size? Excuse me? Your feet.

What size? Oh, um, I do not know. All of my shoes are made for me.

There's a shock. Just get her some shoes. Okay.

I can't take my brain off the world, cause it's so hard to see I can't take my brain off the world, cause it's so hard to see Your Highness? Why, thank you, Edward. It's Edwin, actually. Edwin.

That is a wonderful name. Thank you. It's been a pleasure serving you, my lady. Thank you for having me over, too. Okay.

You're not blending in, pickleball. Did you see that? Yeah.

Nobody ever does that for us. They do now. Your shoe's untied.

Don't trip. Oh, careful there. Johnny, um, you don't have to carry that for her. She can do it herself, like a normal person. So, um, I'll just take this.

What did you say? Carter. What? So Johnny is your boyfriend? What?

No, no, he's just a friend. But he's very special to you. I see the way you look at him.

It's the same way that Ed looks at you. Okay, you're obviously not from here, so just bowl. You first. How do I win?

You win by knocking down those white pins. Okay, I'm ready. What?

You may fire at the target. You may fire at yourself. This is a work of fiction.

Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, is coincidental. Done already, Carter? Yeah, our lane's getting a little crowded. She doesn't really like your cousin, do you?

No, it's just... She can be sometimes, you know... A princess! She can wear it all.

She is getting really popular. The vote is on Monday. We can't let her get more popular than we are.

There's only one thing to do in a situation like this. Excuse me! Wow!

Excuse me! Is it you? You are such a natural. We show us how to bowl like that? Of course.

But my name is Rose. Oh, Rose, our nickname we gave you. We gave all of our friends nicknames. She's Chels.

And she's Brookie. And you're Ro. You're one of us now. Carter? What?

Why do you care so much for this boy, Donnie? Who says I care for him? Fine.

I've been totally in love with him since, like, the third grade when he kissed me under the basketball hoop. Is that what you want to hear? He's quite beautiful. Much like a prince. I wonder if he is beautiful on the inside as well.

Shall we bowl again tomorrow? I can't. I'm working at the Bates shack. I've never worked before. Is this normal?

Yes. Lots of kids have jobs. Then I will help you.

You can't. Why not? Because it's mine.

You can't have everything that's mine. Well, just want a job so bad, just go get one yourself. All right. Good night, Carter.

Thank you for giving me this job, Chelsea. No problem. Daddy owns like 17 idlies all over the South. He's the king. Your father is a king?

A frozen yogurt. One more thing. You have to wear this. So these are the frozen yogurt machines. You just pull the lever and when it comes out you just put a little swirly on top and you're good to go, okay?

Swirly? This is gonna be great! And all your friends will be here to support you. We all want you to succeed at your first job. Thank you so much!

Uh huh! Ed! Here she is, folks. A future homecoming princess of Lake Monroe, Louisiana.

Who is this natural beauty you ask? Don't tell her I'm working. This is Carter Mason.

Secret identity, Baker. So confident of her innate royalty, she is completely unafraid to handle whatever disgusting creature... Hey!

Isn't that bucket not on my camera? Please, turn it off. No. Today's my last day to get the before... poor footage.

The princess vote is tomorrow. Then go shoot Chelsea or Brooke. Nah.

I've got tons of them already. They pay me to film them. Is that why you're doing this? Because of the money?

Absolutely. I'm the only senior guy in Lake Monroe who doesn't have a car. Figures.

You really hate this whole princess thing, don't you? I don't hate it exactly. I just think it's shallow. Girls like Chelsea and Brooke, all they care about is shoes. Like wearing the right clothes makes them superior.

I just want to do something more important. in my life, like my dad. Yeah.

He does sell some sick bait. Right. So speaking of princesses, where's Rosie?

How should I know? I think I just found her. Hey, I've been waiting here for like a minute.

Oh, hello. My heart just stopped. Just a second. Come on.

Come on. Come on. Come on.

Come on. Hurry. Come on.

Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on.

Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on.

Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on.

Come on. Come on. Come on, Chels.

She's dying in there. Help her out. You're absolutely right.

Rookie, we should go in there. Oh, Chels, if only I had a pencil drive. Fine. Paul, will you do me a huge favor?

Uh, yeah. Yeah. What are you doing?

Are you okay? No, I'm okay. You said to get a job.

Not this one. This job's for losers. Trust me, I've had this job. The bait shop is a step up. Hey, check it out.

What is happening? Chelsea set you up. She invited all those people to come watch you make a fool of yourself.

Carter, it's okay. I'm not a fool, and she cannot make something out of me that I am not. Whereas we have to do something.

I will turn the other cheek, because that is what princesses do. Yeah, well, I'm not a princess. She can't be a princess.

Don't worry, but she kind of can. just been texted like 10 times. Everybody thinks she's pretty cool. Tomorrow, when the whole school votes for three princesses, she could be one of them.

And if she gets enough votes, she could become queen. No, I'm the queen. It's my destiny.

That's kind of iffy now. I'd rather eat carbs than see her wearing my crown. That's stubborn. How? If she never becomes princess, she can't be the queen, right?

I'm not sure we're going here. Grab yourself. We've got a whole lot of texting to do. So it's a skill that most Americans master in like the third grade, but it's never too late to learn. I'm ready to try.

Good luck. Hello. Nice. Okay, next we'll work on slouching, eye rolling, and talking back to my dad. If Mr. Elegante could see me right now, he would be so mad at me.

Who's Mr. Elegante? My royal dress designer. You're kidding, right?

No. He's a close family friend. If they were ever in an emergency, he would be the first I would call.

Hmm. Must be nice to be a queen. Actually, it's not all about the dresses and crowns, Carter. My mother told me that my father... My father never called himself king.

To our people, he was father, brother, and friend. I hope to be like him when I'm queen of Costa Lina. Father, brother...

No! I want to make a difference. To do something more important for your life? Yes.

You know, you're different than I thought a princess would be. I hope that is a good thing. Yeah, it is.

Thank you for helping me today. A princess is never sure who her true friend is. Today I am sure.

Me too. Now I'll give myself this one and this one for bravery. and honor that thief has no honor sofia come in come in come in we have a great deal to discuss do you think it's too much i want to look my best when i announce my engagement today who could be so unfortunate as to become your bride well as a matter of fact she is standing right here in this room that's ridiculous i will never marry you ever of course you won't that Rosalinda will not know this. She will see the announcement, assume you are doing it to protect her, and can race you back to her mother's side just in time to join you in exile. The people of Costa Luna will never accept that.

The same was said for the people of Costa Estrella 20 years ago, and, um, look what happened. Take her back to her cell. Oh, and, um, bring me my hair and makeup team. We must touch up this gray before I go on camera.

Cheers. Sorry. Wait, where is everyone going?

We must start, Carter. You're way too into this princess thing. And your princesses are...

Chelsea Barnes. Mason. I did Mason.

And your third and final princess is... Rosie Gonzalez. Thank you.

What happened? I don't know! We texted everyone in the school.

You're supposed to vote for Carter instead of Rosie. Not Carter and Rosie! This is all your fault.

How is it my fault? If you're more popular, you'd be the princess, not her. I am popular! This is not good, okay?

Me being a princess is not normal. Hey there. Hey, Rosie. I talked to you?

Me? Her? Yeah. So, you know, there's a homecoming dance and everything, and, uh...

Will you go to the dance with me, Rosie? Me? Her?

Yeah. I want you to be my date for the dance. Donnie, that is very kind of you, but... No.

Will you excuse me? Uh, sure. That was the most humiliating thing that has ever happened to me. And I've been humiliated a lot.

What was I thinking? A guy like Donnie would never go out with me. Then he is not worthy of you.

Yeah, you can say that because you're all high and royal. But I'm just a girl who sells bait. No.

You are so much more. You are a princess now. Trust me, I'm not a princess. Yes, you are.

You just... just do not feel like one yet. When I came here, you taught me how to act normal, not royal.

Now it is my turn to teach you. You think that being a princess is superficial. Yeah, I guess.

That it is about what you wear and how you look. Well, it is a little bit about how you look, but more importantly, it is about what you have to offer the world and who you are inside. Come on, Carter. Let's go find your inner princess.

I can't let it out, I'm afraid It's legendary to me You're just so good with everybody. Kids, old people, you're probably even good with dogs. That is true. You're so much more generous than I thought you'd be. It is a princess's job to help people.

I guess I never really thought about it. about what it really means to be a princess. Like this. I can't believe you actually have to do this.

Oh, no, you don't. Wait, then why am I doing it? Because it is funny. I hate you. You do?

No, no, no. No, I didn't mean it that way. I didn't mean I hate you. I hate you. I meant I hate you like you're my best friend.

Oh, well, then I hate you too. And that dress is ugly. It is?

No. It is beautiful. And so are you. Look.

You're becoming a princess on the inside, and now you look like one too. Excuse me, I have this lame writing assignment for Spanish class. Do you think that you have something that's really easy with lots of pictures? Oh, cool.

Princess Rosalinda? No way! It's Mason.

What's going on? General Kane's announcement of his engagement to Dona Sofia Montoya has popped up in several tabloid magazines. The story has contained so far, but I would be lying to say I was not concerned. She'd never agree to marry him. I'm not suggesting she would, Major.

General Kane's doing this to draw Rosalinda out. He knows she won't allow her mother to be forced into marriage. Absolutely. So, it is imperative that we keep this from Rosalinda.

Yes, ma'am, I agree. Major, has she made any enemies? Anyone who might want to expose her identity? Not that I know of. Let's move that throne here.

No. No, actually there. Oh, I know.

Up there. And let's hang some lights directly on it. That might be too harsh on my skin tone.

We should hire a lighting designer. The budget's gone, Chelsea. What you see is what you get.

Okay. I know! A follow spot just on me. Maybe like pink or golden like the sun.

It's great to be queen. Uh, you're not queen yet. Carter could win. Or Rosie. Can it, Buffy.

My name's Margaret. My name's Laura. Hey, Chels.

Don't call me that. You lost that right when you lost your princess-grown bait girl and her strangely formal cousin. Well, what if we could get Rosie to drop out of Homecoming altogether? She would never do that. She might.

She's not who she says she is. She's Princessa Rosalinda. It's in Spanish.

What does the article say? I'm not sure. What? I'm pretty not smart.

Okay, let me try. It's about Rosie and her mom. One of them has fled the country, and one of them is in prison or a paper bag. I get those two mixed up. No biggie.

Good work, Brookie. Thanks, Chels. I have a plan. Hey, girl. girls?

Mr. Mason, is Rosie home? Maybe. What's up? Well, we're planning a little princess surprise for Carter to congratulate her.

Yeah, it was Rosie's idea. She's in her room. Go on in.

Can we enter, Princess Rosalinda? Yes, please enter. I've never heard of Costa Luna. Have you, Brookie? No, Chels.

I do not know what you are talking about. We know all about you and your mother. And the paper bag.

What? Poor Princess Rosalinda. Did you hear she's in hiding?

You do not understand. I understand that you lied to us. Only to protect my mother. From the paper bag?

No. Look, I will give you a reward for keeping my secret. Oh, we know you will.

You do? And we already have it picked out. I don't understand.

Yeah, me either. You're going to turn your crown, princess. You're going to tell everyone that there is and only will be one true homecoming queen. And that's me. That's good.

Fine. You may take my crown, but you will not take Carter's. She's no fat two, Chelsea.

Oh fine. Let Baked Girl play princess for one night. She just won't look like one.

I'm fighting the dance! Look at what Chelsea and Brooke did. What's wrong?

I have to leave, Carter. Leave? Leave where?

Back to my country. General Kane is forcing my mother into marriage. Father's never gonna let you go back.

He'll never know. Yeah, but I know, and I'm not gonna let you go back either. Carter, you have to stay out of this.

I have a duty to my people, and this is something that you'll never understand. I've loved living here in Louisiana. And I wish my life could be like this every day. This is not reality.

You think my life as a princess is some fairy tale? This here is a fairy tale. I cannot hide here anymore.

Soon I will be queen of Costa Luna. My country needs me. You're right.

They do need you. They need you to lead them, and to protect them. And that's something you can't do from jail, which is exactly where you'll end up if you go back to Costa Lima. Why am I letting this happen? Hello, this is Elegante.

Who is this? That's not important. All that matters is I'm a friend of Princess Rosalinda and she's about to make a very big mistake. My princess?

What mistake is this? She wants to come in. No, no, no, no, no.

She must not. It's demasiado peligroso. It's too dangerous. I know.

But I have a plan. And I'm going to need you to listen very carefully. I will do anything for the princess. Anything.

Okay, to start with, I'm going to need two dresses. You okay? I'm going to miss this place.

I'm going to miss you, Carter. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm going to miss you too. Rosie? Can you do me a big favor before you go? Anything.

You said it is a princess's job to help others. It is. Well, the dance is on Friday night, and there's some people that I want to help. I want to make this night special for them. For all of us.

Will you please stay until then? For them, please? Welcome to the Good morning, Dad.

Morning. What are you girls up to? Oh, just having some friends over from school.

Is that okay? Yeah, yeah, it's fine. What's in the box? Homecoming stuff. No biggie.

And you are sure about this homecoming dance, Senor Legante? Absolutely. I feel in one way I'm betraying my queen.

What I thought you should know, General, is for the good of Costa Luna. You did the right thing by coming to me, Senor. Fuel the jet! Tell the pilot we will be flying to Louisiana.

Si, General. A lovely colour. Lovely indeed. Caribbean blue, General, to complement Princess Rosalinda's skin tone. Well, back to work.

You have interest to me. To? Actually.

Where did you get them? They said to call Miss Delagante if I had an emergency, and I think that this is a fashion emergency. Carter, you are brilliant.

This one is yours. He says you look best in pink. And this one is mine. It's Caribbean blue. Thank you, Carter.

This is a night I'll always remember. I hope so. Um, are you guys ready? Because it's getting kind of late. Come on in, girls.

Helen's House of Beauty and Oakland for Business. This is crazy. Yeah.

Oh, this is a great color. How do I look, Dad? I think we have a problem.

I may have to stop calling you pal. All right, I gotta grab this. Um, you girls gonna be okay? No, we'll be fine.

Go ahead. Sure. Of course, we're not kids.

All right, well, have a good time and be careful. Nice. Ellen! All right, your highnesses.

Time's a waste and the dance starts in ten minutes. Masks? What's anything but masks?

Ugh! Come on! Come on! Hey!

Hey! I'm stuck! Open the door, Donnie!

Hello? Donnie! Donnie! Come here, come here.

Are you okay? Mom! Get off!

Oh! Okay freshman, I think I can take a seat. No. God, what's the problem?

I thought we had, you know, something. Actually, we don't. Okay, what's up? Isn't this what you've been waiting for since, like, third grade?

Before I put on this dress, you couldn't even remember my name. I might be a princess tonight, but I'll always be Bagel. And I'm proud of that.

Carter, you're making a big mistake. No, Donnie. I don't think I am. You deserve better than him, Carter. I know.

Too bad. It took this long to realize it. Bye. What happened to you? Shut up and fix me!

Did you give me a crown? Who cares? A few minutes won't matter anyways. I'll be named queen and this will all be over. I thought we were in this together.

We are. Lip gloss. No.

What? I said no. You can't use my lip gloss anymore.

But I have to look pretty. I'm a princess. Yeah, a terrible one. A princess is supposed to be a girl of exemplary character.

A role model. But you? You're not even kind, honest, or terrible in any way. You're not even nice. I don't think I want to be your friend anymore.

Oh, Rookie. Don't call me that. Carter, Rosie, I just wanted to thank you for tonight.

I never thought I could look beautiful. Well, feel beautiful for that matter. Margaret, you are beautiful. I don't believe that. And thanks for not calling me Muffy.

No problem. Chance. Oh, I love this song!

It's called Chance! Why don't you two go ahead and be princesses? Okay.

There you are! Finally! You don't understand this. I'm the-Security! I know.

You're late. And what is with the uniforms? No one's wearing berets this year.

Just stay out here and make sure no one gets in that dance unless they're students from Lake Monroe. Got it? Got it.

Hey everybody, he's about to announce the winner. Let's put on our masks. Oh, princesses everywhere. Caribbean Blue. Beautiful, indeed.

Go with me now, Princess. I know Harman will come to your friends. Attention please.

I hold here in my hand the name of our 2008 Lake Monroe Homecoming Queen. And the winner is... Thank you. Since I've been here, I've learned many wonderful things.

Most importantly, I've learned about friendship, and loyalty, and trust. And that those are not things that are just given, but things we must earn. So I want to thank Carter Mason for teaching me these things. And for being my friend.

Carter, where are you? Hey, thank you, but I need to find Carter. Hold it right there, Princess!

My crown. Hand it over. Chelsea, please. You're not going anywhere until I get that crown.

Sorry, I am not okay, you've got to for this! General Kane! Well... It appears as if everyone wants to be a princess. Unfortunately, it is time for the masquerade to end.

What are you doing? The plan is working perfectly. This was a very brave plan.

This is my fight, not yours. You don't have to go with me. Enough! As the princess has so eloquently pointed out, this is not your fight. Good day.

Good to see you again. What is the meaning of this? You are interfering with the official business of the Southern Land of Costa Luna. Maybe this will fly in your country, but here, it's called kidnap. We're turning you over to the international authorities.

Get him? No, not me. How does it feel to be brought to justice by a 16-year-old girl, General?

It's a little hard. I can't believe you would do this to me. That's what princesses do.

They do for each other. You are truly a princess now, Carter Mason. You rightfully deserve this.

Nobody goes anywhere. I'll take that. Let her go.

She needs it way more than I do. Alright, come on. Hey, guard.

You got him? Oh, I'm in so much trouble. What were you thinking, Carter? I was thinking I'd be perfect bait. Get it?

I'm bait girl. Why didn't you just come to me? You would have never let me do it.

You're lucky I was here. I knew you would be. You're always there for me.

You rescue princesses. That's what you do. You and me, Val.

You and me, Dad. I present to you... Queen Rosalinda Marie Montoya, fiore, oposta luna! Ladies, you're here!

Excellent! Are you ready for your next assignment? I am!

Oh, me too! But, um, it's a little bit warmer, my feet are still frozen from that walk through Helsinki. Carter, you can be such a princess!

Something wrong with that? No.
