Stephen: We?
Sir Griffin: Yeah, I and your step mom.
Stephen: (annoyed) Bye Dad. (He hangs up)
Bethany: An estranged relationsh!pwith your father?
Stephen: (sighs) Yeah.
Bethany: When are you gonna work things out with him?
Stephen: I don’t wanna talk about it.
Bethany: We’re going to get married soon, Stephen. You shouldn’t be keeping things like this, a secret from me. (she pe-cks him on the cheek)
Stephen: I know, I know. Look, Let’s just pack our things and get re-ady for our flight back to Hillwood.
Bethany: Okay.
(The hidden valley)
(The Troll Kingdom)
Silvania: Good morning Mom, Good morning Dad.
Donald: Morning honey.
Beatrice: Silvania, Where’re you going to this early?
Silvania: To the castle. The King said his daughter will be nee-ding my services very often.
Beatrice: Okay but aren’t you going to have breakfast first before leaving.
Silvania: It’s alright, I’ll eat at the castle. See you all later. (She leaves the house)
Donald: I have a feeling she’s not gonna be around frequently from now on.
Beatrice: Well, It’s as she said. She’ll be too busy working at the castle.
(Meanwhile)
(At the castle)
Silvania: (bows) Good morning my King…
King Jerod: Morning.
Silvania: You said the princess will be nee-ding my services…
King Jerod: I did. (To a guard) Take her to my daughter’s chambers.
(The guard takes Silvania to Princess Marianna’s room and she sees her checking herself in the mirror )
Silvania: Good morning my princess…
Princess Marianna: (she checks who it is from the mirror) Oh it’s you.
Silvania: (bows) How may I serve you my princess?
Princess Marianna: Enough with the groveling. (She turns to face Silvania) I know you don’t like me, I know most people in this kingdom don’t like me but i don’t care. According to my Dad, It’s better to be feared than to be loved. Anyways, I want you to take that polish and furbish my skin…. The polish is over there (points)
(Silvania does as instructed)
Princess Marianna: Can’t you go any fas-ter?
Silvania: I’m sorry my princess, But I don’t want to make a mistake or apply too much polish.
Princess Marianna: Whatever. Just hurry up. I want my skin to be the shiniest in the kingdom, It has to befit my royal status.
Silvania: Okay.
(Princess Marianna strikes Silvania across the face)
Princess Marianna: Okay? What else are you supposed to say?
Silvania: (she ru-bs her cheeks) Okay…. My princess
Princess Marianna: Good. (eyes Silvania) Worthless troll. You should be happy i picked you as my maid, Do you know how many people would die for this opportunity?
Silvania: Forgive me my princess.
Princess Marianna: (hisses at her) When you’re done, I’ll nee-d you to go fetch me some blue berries which grows at the center of our kingdom, When you get back, You’ll clean my all mirrors… I nee-d them to be sparkling clean. Next you’ll look for some ornaments for me to decorate my room. Oh yeah, You’ll also clean my dresses and shoes….
Silvania: Sorry my princess but umm… How many things am I going to be doing for you today?
Princess Marianna: A lot of things! As I was saying, You’ll clean my dresses and shoes then you’ll go to the kitchen to fetch my lunch and don’t even think about poisoning me….
Silvania: (she stares at Princess Marianna in disgust as she keeps on talking)
(Hawaii)
(At the beach house)
Alex: I’m really gonna miss this place. This was the best vacation I’ve ever had.
Stephen: Too bad it had be over. There’s a reason why we have to get back to Hillwood City. There’s another company who wants to make a deal with my Dad’s company and we’re short of models, We’ll nee-d to campaign for more models
Alex: Bethany’s a model.
Stephen: We’ll nee-d more, To promote the business, sales and all.
Alex: You told the right person. I can get more models.
Stephen: Ok cool…
(The Troll Kingdom)
(At the castle)
(Princess Marianna’s best friend, Suzanne visits her)
Princess Marianna: Finally you’re here. I thought you wouldn’t come.
Suzanne: Sorry. I was kinda busy at home, Papa nee-ded me to run some errands.
Princess Marianna: Alright. Fine.
Suzanne: (gazes at her) Wow, Your skin looks so flawless.
Princess Marianna: Thank you. I was born this way.
Suzanne: I can tell.
Princess Marianna: Yeah. I wanna tell you something, Do you know that other creatures exists beyond our valley.
Suzanne: Really?
Princess Marianna: Yes. My father told me. He called them “Humans”
(Silvania eavesdrop on their conversation)
Suzanne: Humans?
Princess Marianna: Yes. Humans.
Suzanne: I wonder what they look like.
Princess Marianna: Me too.
Suzanne: Well, It wouldn’t hurt to explore beyond the valley.
Princess Marianna: I wish we could but my father forbids it and anyone found guilty of trespas-sing would be punished severely, Me inclusive.
Suzanne: (she looks to where Silvania is) What is she doing?
Princess Marianna: Oh, I asked her to clean my dresses and shoes. (To Silvania) Hey you! S¢v-mmy maid!
Silvania: (she turns to look at them) Yes my princess?
Princess Marianna: Don’t act oblivious. I know you’ve been eavesdropping.
Silvania: No I wasn’t.
Princess Marianna: Just hurry up with what I asked you to do.
Suzanne: Where did you even find this girl?
Princess Marianna: She’s the one I picked as my handmaid. There we’re many other options but the role kinda befits her. Don’t you think?
(Princess Marianna and Suzanne laugh mockingly at Silvania)
Silvania: (To Princess Marianna) I’m done cleaning your dresses and shoes.
Princess Marianna: Good, Keep them over there. (points)
Silvania: (she does as instructed) Anything else?
Princess Marianna: No. You’re done for today, You may go now
Silvania: (bows) Yes my princess
(Later on)
(Silvania returns home)
Simon: Welcome back sis.
Beatrice: Welcome back honey. How was working at the castle like?
Silvania: Stressful.
Beatrice: Awwnn, What happened?
Silvania: A lot! I don’t wanna go back to that castle anymore.
Beatrice: Why? Is the princess giving you a ha-rd time..
Silvania: Yes, She’s everything I imagined her to be. Annoying, rude, uncouth, snobbish and she thinks she’s better than everyone else just because she’s a princess (sighs) She’s despicable.
Beatrice: Don’t worry my dear, You’ll be fine. I’ll go make you your favorite meal okay?
Silvania: Okay.
(She leaves)
Simon: Anything interesting happen at the castle?
Silvania: None that I can remember. (She looks around to see if her Mom or Dad are in sight) There’s something I want to tell you, The princess and her friend were discussing about the humans. She also wants to go beyond the valley.
Simon: So?
Silvania: Aren’t you curious to see what lies outside our kingdom?
Simon: Look, Mom told us that it’s not safe out there any troll who leaves the valley is doomed, it’ll be wrong for us to go against her instructions and stupid for anyone who attempts to leave the valley. (He stands up from the chair) I’ll be right back…
(Silvania watches him as he leaves)
Silvania: (adamantly) I have to know what lies beyond our valley….

(Hillwood City)
(At Sir Griffin’s mansion)
Sir Griffin: (he sniffs the air) Mmmm…. What’s that smell?
Veronica: I made some delicacies in honor of Stephen’s return. I made Mac and cheese, chicken soup noodles, gravy, corn dogs and few other meals.
Sir Griffin: Wow. You made them all?
Veronica: Yeah. (sighs) I just want Stephen to accept me.
Sir Griffin: Don’t worry, He’s going to accept you.
(He pu-lls her into a hvg)
Veronica: Hold on. I nee-d to go check if the waffles are done.
Sir Griffin: (amazed) You’re ma-king waffles too?
Veronica: Yup. (She goes into the kitchen)
Sir Griffin: (smiles) I don’t even regret divorcing Stephen’s mother to marry her…. I made the right choice.
(The Troll Kingdom)
(At Donald’s house)
Simon: Good morning Mom.
Beatrice: Good morning honey. Did you sleep well?
Simon: Yeah I did
Beatrice: Your father’s still slee-ping?
Simon: Yes Mother….. (He looks around) Where’s Silvania?
Beatrice: She’s at the royal castle.
Simon: Oh yeah. I forgot
Beatrice: You know, I wanted to suggest to her that if she doesn’t want to work for the princess, She should just tell the King.
Simon: And risk the King throwing all of us in the dungeon for opposing him? I don’t think so.
Beatrice: (sighs) Her well-being is my utmost priority. Anyways, I’ll nee-d you to collect some apples, I want to prepare apple sauce for lunch.
Simon: Okay Mom.
(At the castle)
(Princess Marianna speaks to her father while Silvania combs her hair)
Princess Marianna: Daddy, Why do you forbid all trolls from going beyond our valley?
King Jerod: Because they’ll endanger themselves. The humans are dangerous and will capture us if they see us
Princess Marianna: Oh…
King Jerod: Yes my daughter.
(Just then, Two guards bring in two trolls)
Guard 1: My King, We caught these two attempting to leave the valley.
King Jerod: (to the trolls) Why did you try to leave the valley? You know the law!
Troll 1: Yes my king, I aware of the law… But I only left the valley because I was trying to get my brother to return back. He’s always wanted to see what beyond the valley looks like but I usually warned him against it.
King Jerod: Do you know the punishment for your crimes?
Troll 1: plea-se forgive us my King, We won’t do it again….
King Jerod: It’s too late for you…
(King Jerod points his scepter at the two trolls and a powerful blast emerges from it towards the trolls, killing them. Silvania and Princess Marianna watches in horror)
King Jerod: (to the guards) Take their bodies away.
Guard: (bows) Yes my King.
Princess Marianna: (to King Jerod) So you’re going to kill anyone who trespas-ses and breaks the law?
King Jerod: Precisely.
(Later day)
(In Princess Marianna’s room)
Princess Marianna: My Dad really scared me today. He killed those two brothers right before my very eyes.
Suzanne: The King must be extremely serious about the law. We can’t ever go beyond the valley for the sake of our lives.
Princess Marianna: I know. I can’t even step out of the castle without guards following me everywhere I go let alone leave the valley.
Suzanne: I’m hungry.
Princess Marianna: Okay, I’ll have my handmaid get something for us. (To Silvania) Hey! S¢v-mmy maid!
Silvania: (bows) My princess?
Princess Marianna: Go get us some blueberries from the kitchen.
(Silvania leaves her room and returns a few seconds subsequently)
Silvania: There’s none in the kitchen.
Princess Marianna: Did you check the stocks?
Silvania: Yes my princess.
Princess Marianna: Maybe we’re all out. You know what, Take that sack and go and collect some from the center of the kingdom.
Silvania: (she takes the sack) Yes my princess. (She bows as she leaves)
(At the Center of The Troll Kingdom)
Silvania: (she finishes collecting the blueberries) This should be enough.
(Just then, She sees a large door from a distance)
Silvania: That must be the door that seperates our valley from the outside world… (She carries the sack and heads to the gigantic door) There’s no guard around, That’s weird.
(Silvania looks around to see if anyone’s there. Then she opens the door, leaving the Troll Kingdom )
Silvania: Whoa, The world out here is so so different. (looks around) And I don’t see any humans….Mother was wrong after all.
(She ventures further away from the Troll Kingdom)
(Meanwhile)
(Stephen, Alex and Bethany return to Hillwood City and are on their way to their house)
Stephen: Finally! We’re back in Hillwood City!
Alex: Yea. That was a LONG flight.
Bethany: This is so exciting. I can’t wait to resume my modeling career, The company’s going to earn so much money especially now that I’m Stephen’s fianceé (giggles)
Alex: (To Stephen) How many companies does your Dad own?
Stephen: Two. The first one is the modeling company which we all work at and the second one is a business company.
Bethany: Yeah, I’m the t©p model at the modeling company, Thanks to Stephen.
Stephen: You’re welcome babe.
Bethany: I love you.
Stephen: I love….
(Before he completes his s£ntence, Bethany pu-lls Stephen into a k!ss)
Alex: Can’t you guys just hold on till later. (To Stephen) Don’t forget you’re driving.
Stephen: (he breaks the k!ss) Oh yeah…
Bethany: (To Alex) Don’t be a glitch.
Alex: Hey I’m just worried about our safety…
(Just then, Stephen lets go of the steering wheel and clutches onto his head in pain)
Stephen: (gro-an s) Argh! My head!
Bethany: (worriedly) Stephen, What’s wrong?
(A truck approaches their car with full speed)
Bethany: (shouts) STEPHEN! LOOK OUT!
Stephen: NO!!!!
(In order to avoid colliding with the truck, Stephen turns the steering wheel the opposite way but his car goes out of the road and falls into the river below with him, Bethany and Alex inside it)
