Episode 19: “The Princess Pride”
***
I sat at my table, participating in Duncan’s burrito contest. I giggled. He was so cute! Courtney refused to participate.
Harold ended up winning, since I was mostly helping everyone make their burritos and also up there on the wooden table, helping Duncan host the contest, well, okay, I was mostly making out with him.
Justin leaned towards me one time. “So, Yurie, how’s it going?” He asked.
“Uh, fine,” I said. I glanced at Duncan. He was scowling.
When Chris came in, he đã đưa ý kiến that whoever’s foot could fit the slipper would get to be the princess for the day, and also đã đưa ý kiến that it would be a fairy tale challenge.
I’ve always had small feet, so I was the princess! YAY me! I got to wear a tiara and a golden dress. It looked like Belle’s from Beauty and the Beast, but I didn’t mind much.
I went with Chris, and I had to sing a song. No problem. Everyone always told me that I sounded like Beyonce. (X3)
When the three boys; Justin, Harold, Duncan arrived, I sang my song. My “Perfect Prince” song. Though I already have my perfect prince, and that was Duncan, all three boys looked awed. I kissed Duncan after my song, and whispered, “Good luck.”
Then, ugh, I had to get “hauled” away on Chef’s horse. That thing really smelled!
I threw one of my slippers at Courtney, but I said, “Here Duncan!” to make it sound like I didn’t mean to. “OW!” Courtney protested. “Sorry!” I called, unable to keep the laughter from my voice.
Duncan was nearly doubling over himself with laughter. Courtney swatted him, but she kept batting her lashes and smiling. Sh flicked his cheek with her hand. Duncan looked uncomfortable. Get away from my Duncan, I willed her silently. Get away, get away, get away. Now. hoặc else, you’re gonna really regret it.
Chef then put me in a tower. Ugh. Ew, mold...!
(Duncan’s POV)
“Good luck, everyone!” Yurie sang to us from her tower. “Duncan! Mwah!” She blew me an air kiss. I graciously accepted it. Ugh... she blew kisses to Doris and Justin, too.
I was stunned bởi her song, as were Justin and Harold. Yurie had sung for me before, and I knew her voice was lovely, but not this lovely...! I felt a longing in my chest for her... and I threw back my shoulders.
So, I knew I had to rescue Yurie. I couldn’t let JUSTIN Kiss her, I knew he was falling for her, and I won’t feel comfortable kissing her if Harold kissed her.
And she was my girlfriend. Didn’t that give me anything? And I have her glass slipper.
I looked in my briefcase, which I decided to bring along, as I ran. Pocketknife, picture of me and Kiyurie, pic of just Kiyurie, and some other things.
When we were there, I saw her in a tower. She looked beautiful... even beautiful-er than usual. “Kiyurie!” I called. “I’m coming!!!”
“I know bạn are,” she called in her lovely voice. “I’m waiting for you!”
Justin and Harold were whispering something random, which I had no idea what the were saying...
When I felt a pang of anger towards Justin. It was almost as if he was willing me to... and I noticed the monster behind me. “What the heck?!” I yelled.
Then Justin stepped to the side. The monster crushed me, and for a một giây all I could feel was pain, my tình yêu for Kiyurie, and the monster’s heavy weight on me...
(Kiyurie’s POV)
“We have to take down Duncan!” I heard Justin say to Harold. No...! “I don’t care! I’ll let bạn win... just I can’t let Duncan have Yurie!”
Hey! Well, even if Duncan can’t have me, and even if I’m a princess, I’ll never be yours.
The tiếp theo một phút happened quickly. Then, the monster stepped on Duncan. “No!” I cried out. “Duncan!”
“I’m... fine...” he tried to stutter from under there.
“Hang on!” I yelled.
Harold started up the tower, saying “I’ll save you, my beautiful princess!” but was cut off my Justin. I heard him say, “If this was Leshawna, I’m sure you’d do the exact same thing.”
Justin ran up to me.
“No!” Duncan yelled. Yes. Duncan was right. No. Never.
He reached me. “Yurie! And we shall live happily ever after!”
He leaned in. I drew back, disgusted. But if I had to Kiss him, oh well.
I leaned into him, my eyes scrunched closed. Let this be over, please, please...!
Then Chris interrupted. “Not so fast!” He said. Whew. Thank you, Chris!
“Yes!” Duncan gasped.
“What?” Justin said.
“The prince and the princess will now sword-fight to determine the real winner.” He handed us each a sword.
“What?!” Beth called. “But every fairy tale I’ve seen ends with a kiss!”
“Not this one,” Chris said. “Now... go!”
I stood there, immune. What should I do? “Oh, well,” Justin was saying. “A true prince would never hurt a lady. And now...” He leaned into me, making ngẫu nhiên kissing noises.
“Sorry, Justin. bạn know I can never tình yêu you...” I sighed and pushed him off with my sword.

I had just found out about the Yurie búp bê and CD’s. I thought I looked like an idiot in doll-form, but I didn’t say anything.
I won immunity, so I was carefree. Except... where did that put Duncan?
“The Gilded Chris’s go to...” Chris said, “Rebecca, Beth, Courtney.” He paused.
Duncan and Justin were left. Please... no. Not Duncan.
“The last Gilded Chris goes to... Justin. Duncan, you’ve been eliminated.”
Duncan stood up. I just sat there, in shock. “No...!” I mouthed. “Why?”
“Goodbye, Yurie, and good luck,” Duncan said. “And...”
“NO!” I yelled, interrupting him. “Chris, bạn can’t...”
“Calm down, Yurie,” Chris said. “I was kidding. Justin has really been eliminated.”
Oh. Now I felt like an idiot for overreacting.
Ughhh... damn me and my stupid overreactions! X3

“I’m sorry bạn got hurt,” I đã đưa ý kiến as Duncan and I held hands, gazing into the sky over the bridge.
“It’s all right. Nothing serious,” he said, grinning to hiển thị it was true.
“I’m glad,” I laughed.
“I was afraid that I was really voted off...” he admitted.
“Yeah. I was too. But I figure it would be terrible to lose a million dollars!”
“Not because of that.” Duncan shook his head. “Because... well, bạn mean thêm to me.”
I gazed into his shimmering eyes, and kissed him.
“I tình yêu you,” he said.
I nodded. I wrapped my arms around me, and hugged him.
“So do I,” I replied. I looked up into the sky. The stars seemed to be shining brighter than ever... blissfully and for eternity.
