Chapter Two—Prince Pierre

    Happily hurrying down the large stairs of the castle, Snow White carried her suitcase down the stairs, smiling, with her birds in her pocket. As she left the castle, she stated, “Follow the carriage if you want.” She was so happy, for she was going to see her prince again!
    Snow White peered out the front door, and merrily declared “Oh, the carriage must be here!,” then she skipped down the front steps happily. Indeed, there were several carriages stationed out in front of the castle, and one of them had a banner posted, “PRINCESS” on its door.
    Snow White happily walked to that carriage, where there was a driver who didn’t say a word to her as she got in the carriage and only gave her a scowl and who seemed genuinely disinterested with the job, he seemed very tired.
“How do you do?” Snow White asked as the carriage began to take off.
The kutsero didn’t reply. Snow White asked again, “How do you do?”
Once again, the kutsero ignored her. Slightly upset, although used to far worse treatment, Snow White got herself situated into the back seat. At once, the carriage began to roll down the road, and it began to bump madly, far less smooth than the horse she rode on with her prince to his castle, now it was very rickety. As she clattered along, being bounced up whenever the carriage hit a bump on the road, Snow White tried to think of the wedding. “Oh, I can’t wait to marry my prince!” she told the birds, who were following the carriage happily, excitedly.
    “You are the princess, aren’t you?” the driver abruptly asked grouchily in a robotic voice.
    “Why yes, yes I am,” Snow White stated, surprised.
    The driver didn’t say anything else, and Snow White got off at a small facility with a sign outside that stated, “Ballroom.”
    “Oh, what an adorable little place!” Snow White happily stated as she got off the place and enthusiastically walked toward a door.
The clock however, rang six times. Snow White gasped, “Why, my prince must be waiting!”
    Snow White hurried near the building, and saw a room near the front that was labeled, “BRIDE”.
    Hurriedly entering the room, Snow White quickly lit a candle in the dark room and then proceeded to fix up her hair, and she got changed into the wedding dress she packed along in her suitcase. She was so happy to see her prince again!
    Snow White hurried out of the door once she thought she looked ready for the wedding, and she noticed that she was once again outside, apparently, she was now in an outdoor courtyard surrounded sa pamamagitan ng an indoor facility. She looked about. There was a small crowd of people seated on two groups of chairs, looking at a red carpet that was situated in between them. At the end of the red carpet, she noticed that there was a platform. She noticed at the end that the Prince was hurriedly talking to a young, skinny blonde girl with long, flowing hair, carrying flowers.
    Snow White declared, “Why, she must be the bulaklak girl. I better wait for her to go.”
    The blonde girl soon left the stage and once she was out of sight, and her prince began to speak. “Ladies and gentlemen, I am pleased to announce that after many trials and considerations and much pressure from my father, I have finally found the dear wife of my dreams. The moment I first saw her, she has captured my puso and I have yearned for her with all my pag-ibig from that moment that I found her. We had a wonderful pag-ibig at first sight which was a total dream come true. I cannot stop expressing my total pag-ibig and admiration for my dear sweetheart,” he added.
    Snow White heard her cue. Clearing her throat, she happily waltzed out onto the red carpet, and happily trotted toward her prince.
    “She truly is such a wonderful girl,” her prince continued. “The girl of my dreams, my heart… she truly is a bewitching, beautiful girl. And with a kiss, I shall continue to express my pag-ibig to her for days on end, and we will truly have a pag-ibig that will live on happily ever after.”
    The crowd clapped as Snow White reached the red platform, and happily smiled at her prince. He was very handsome, with a genuine smile, a dashing look, and wearing a glowing red carnation attached to a pocket on his jacket.
    At once, her prince took her hands and stated, “Ladies and gentlemen, here is the girl of my heart, my dreams, the one true pag-ibig of mine, and shall I say that true pag-ibig has come to me at last!”
    Her prince finally averted his gaze from the crowd as they clapped. “Hello, dear Snow,” he stated to Snow White warmly. “We meet again. Come on, let’s marry…”
    After they sinabi their “I do’s,” they kissed and twirled in front of the crowd, and Snow White was filled with pleasure upon finally marrying her prince. They danced for a couple of hours afterward, and he smiled at her as they continued to express their love.
    After a while, the Prince stated, “Come on… let’s take you to our honeymoon spot. You get your own private compartment.”
    “Prince…”, Snow White stated, then pausing, “Why, I don’t know your real name. Let me guess… is it…”
    “Pierre,” her prince interrupted.
    “Well then, Pierre,” Snow White stated, “Can’t I come in the carriage with you?”
    Pierre smiled at Snow White. “Oh no,” he stated sadly. “I’m afraid I have some royal duties to take care of with my father. Now why don’t you just run along to your carriage while I sort these matters out? The honeymoon place is called “Pierre’s Belle Maison D’Amour”
    Not wanting to disagree with her prince so early on in their marriage, Snow White nodded, then she happily waltzed back into the bride’s room, picked up her suitcase, and hurried back to her carriage. The same grouchy kutsero was there, still looking thoroughly bored. Snow White hurriedly asked, “May you take me to the Pierre’s Belle Maison D’Amour?”
    The kutsero curtly nodded, and her coach began to set off at once.
