Even the kids listened to the song with dreamy looks on their faces. Not even the boys could resist listening with a nostalgic look in their eyes

Applause filled the air at the end of the song. Some somber music, however, signaled that not all was well just yet. "Meanwhile, Captain Vernet was simply furious at what had transpired." Melody told the audience. "Our three heroes were proving to be more of a threat than he anticipated..."

The lights came up on the hideout, where the boy playing Captain Vernet stormed into the scene. The girl playing Liliane and the bandits were nearby. "I have a problem..." he began. "Those three knuckleheads have proven tougher than I thought!"

"So?" the female bandit asked.

"So we must come up with a new plan!" the boy replied. "We'll pull a switcheroo tomorrow night. In order to get to Princess Caliste, we will have to get rid of those three one by one." He squished three Durants to prove his point as the lights went down...

"That night, while the princess slept, Captain Vernet put his plan into motion." Melody continued. "The princess, meanwhile, had no clue of the danger all the land was in!"

Spoiler: The script for this quick scene

(The lights come up on the royal bedroom on one half of the stage, where Nichole is helping Caliste change into a sparkling pale lavender nightgown.)

Caliste: I can see it now...King Rowan and Queen Caliste..."

Nichole: Come to think of it, Sir Eliwood's pretty handsome himself!

(They laugh happily at this as the lights blink over to the other half of the stage.)

"Aw"s went up at Alyssa's line. Even the kids found the pairing a romantic idea.

The lights blinked over to the other half of the stage, where Brock was patrolling the hallway. "Whatever they're doing in there, it must be hilarious if I can hear them laughing all the way out here." he mused. "But I have to keep them safe, even if that means giving up my own sleep--that's why I took a nap beforehand."

A creaking door then got his attention. "Who's there?" he demanded, drawing his sword.

"It's just me, Eliwood--the royal cook wanted to know if you wanted to have a snack while I take over the next watch." the girl playing Liliane began in a mimic of Ash's voice.

Brock was unsure. "Are you SURE you really are Rowan? I know he doesn't speak like that..."

"It's really me! If you don't hurry, I'm going to eat all the cookies the royal baker left for us!" the girl continued as Ash.

"There's cookies in the kitchen? Save me some!" With that, Brock hurried off as the lights went down.

"Eliwood followed what he thought was Rowan out of the palace, through the dark streets, and right into Admiral Liliane's trap!" Melody continued.

After a few seconds, Brock's voice pierced the air. "Rowan!" He walked in the scene soon afterward. "Rowan?" He sighed. "I could've sworn that was him..."

A tense stinger played as the lights went down, punctuated by Brock swallowing hard and saying "Uh oh!", to some nervous giggles.

Melody then reappeared. "Back in the palace, Brenna also fell for Captain Vernet's ruse...."

The lights came up on Misty patrolling a hallway. "Part of me wishes I could've taken an earlier watch, but the peace and quiet of the palace at night makes patrolling this late all worth it!" she smiled.

Just then, some footsteps approaching snapped her to attention. "Who goes there?" she called, drawing her sword.

The three bandits entered the scene, their blades drawn as well. "You guys again...don't you three ever learn?" Misty sighed.

With that, a soft adventurous melody played as Misty and the bandits battled, but the music shifted to a minor key as the battle wore on and spilled into the streets. Finally, the music culminated in a panicked stinger--and Misty screaming in terror!

Fearful murmurs filled the theater for a moment. Then, the lights came up on the hideout, where Misty was brought in, bound and gagged, before the boy playing Captain Vernet. "How nice to see you, Lady Brenna..." he sneered.

Misty tried to say something, but the gag muffled her tirade. "What? Your friends? I haven't a clue."

Misty said something obviously angry, but the gag made it impossible to hear what she said as the lights went down. "Pikachu hurried as quickly as he could to warn the real Rowan that his friends were in danger, not knowing that both of them were headed for a trap themselves." Melody explained as Tintri hurried around the stage in a spotlight, to some giggles and "aw"s.

The lights came up on another hall in the palace, where Ash was patrolling. "Midnight, and all is well--just another peaceful night..." he mused.

Just then, Tintri dashed into the scene. [Rowan! Brenna and Eliwood are in big trouble!]

"Brenna and Eliwood are in danger?" Ash asked. "Where are they?"

[I don't know, but we have to save them!] Tintri replied.

"No one captures my friends and gets away with it!" Ash growled. "There's something fishy going on here..."

Just then, a "Psst!" got their attention. "Who's there?" Ash demanded, drawing his sword as Tintri charged a Thunderbolt.

The lights blinked off and Ash and Tintri screamed in terror...
