Scene 5
(Kaitlyn enters)
Kaitlyn-Angeline, their highnesses require your presence. I also have something for you to change into.
Angeline-(quietly)Their highnesses? (yells) Coming!
Scene 6
(Elizabeth sitting, then stands and walks to hug Angeline)
Elizabeth-Welcome Angeline. I don’t believe you’ve meet my sister, Emily.
Emily-You better explain, Elizabeth. She looks quite confused.
Elizabeth-Angeline, through a series of events I have found that I am royal, that I am the older twin of Emily here, and that I am queen. I would be honored if you would be my lady-in-waiting.
Angeline-Wow, that’s a lot to take in.
Emily-(kindly) Have a seat.
Angeline-(startled) In the presence of royalty!
Emily-I’m sure my sister would make an exception for her best friend.
Elizabeth-Of course, sit.
Angeline-I would be honored to be your lady-in-waiting, your highness.
Elizabeth-In private it is okay to call me Liz, or even in personal circumstances, Lizzy.
Emily-Lizzy?
Angeline-Her childhood nickname. Mine was Ange.
Emily-Mine was Milly, but only my parents call me that, and then in private.
Angeline-Different lives have different rules.
Elizabeth-And that’s going to take a lot of getting used to.
Angeline-So when’s the coronation?
Emily-Tomorrow.
Angeline-So soon!
Emily-Things have been ready at a moment’s notice for a long time, but Kaitlyn is going to be busy.
Elizabeth-Why?
Emily-I guess I should have told you already. Our mother was very old and sick, and she died today. That’s why you queen.
Elizabeth-(sits) Wow. A lot has happened today.
Emily-Yes.
Angeline-Con you believe only hours ago we were sitting in a field deciding we wanted to work at the castle?
Elizabeth-No.
