(Narrator enters into a plain scene)

Narrator: once upon a time on a planet called Mewpurrter there was an assassin named Justin

(Justin enters)

narrator: now this was no ordinary assassin, no. She happened to be the best in the business. She never missed a target.

Justin: well I wouldn't say never.

Narrator: what? But I thought you were the best in the business

Justin: oh I am. But there was this one time…..

(scene switches to Justin's head quarter)

(Justin is sitting at a table and Justin's boss is sitting on the opposite side with a completely black outfit on and hiding his face with a hood)

Justin: you called

Justin's boss: I have a new mission for you

Justin: okay what is it? Please don't tell me it's another one of those government people

Justin's boss: no it's not

Justin: okay good

Justin's boss: this won't be easy---

Justin: it never is

Justin's boss: i'm not exactly sure what your mission is but your target is the prince of The Dark Forest. every other assassin in our agency has failed to kill him. You are our last chance

Justin: how much?

Justin's boss: one million

Justin: okay. Who's hiring me and why do they want me to kill this prince?

Justin's boss: as for the identity, Anonymous, as for why, they said that was classified too

Justin: I refuse to kill anyone without a good reason

(Justin's boss hands Justin a piece of paper)

Justin's boss: call them and ask them yourself and they should also tell you more about your mission

Justin: fine

(Justin exits the room)

(scene switches to Mewpurrter enchanted forest)

(Justin is on her phone talking to someone)

Justin: WHAT! What do you mean you can't tell me why I have to kill him

(someone murmurs something from the other side of the phone)

Justin: well i'm sorry but if you can't tell me why then I refuse. I have to have a reason

(someone murmurs more from the other side of the phone)

Justin: okay fine i'll try.

(Justin hangs up her phone)

Justin: okay I guess i'm going to the castle of The Dark Forest

(Justin exits)

(switch scene to The castle of The Dark Forest)

(Justin enters)

Justin: okay i'm finally at the castle now what am I going to do. I guess I could climb in through that window. No, too high. Okay, okay, i'll go look at the other side to see if there are any good windows to climb through

(Justin exits)

(scene switches to inside the castle)

(Prince Bella and King Lilly enter together in an argument)

Prince Bella: but I'm almost thirteen! I have to learn how to defend the kingdom before I can become ruler!

(narrator enters)

Narrator: in The Dark Forest realm the first born child of the ruling family assumes rule of the kingdom at the age of thirteen

(narrator exits)

King Lilly: no you don't! Now go to your room!

(Prince Bella walks off stage mumbling angrily under his voice)

(after Prince Bella is definitely out of earshot)

King Lilly: don’t worry my son you won't need to know how to defend the kingdom after you're dead! Mwah ha ha ha ha!!!!

(King Lilly exits)

(switch scene to Prince Bellas room)

(Prince Bella enters)

Prince Bella: uhhhhh why wont my dad listen to me! I just want to be a good ruler!

(bushes rustle from outside)

Prince Bella: what was that? Oh no, I hope it's not another one of those killing people

(bushes rustle again from outside, this time louder)

Prince Bella: I gotta get out of here

(Prince Bella stuffs pillows under his bed covers to make it look like he's sleeping and then runs and hides in a corner of the room where he won't be seen)

(Justin enters)

Justin: (whispering) hmm okay now where is this Prince

(Justin notices the bed)

Justin: (whispering) oh of course he's probably sleeping

(she slowly approaches the bed and pulls a dagger out)

(she draws back the covers)

Justin: PILLOWS!!!!

(Prince Bella comes out from his hiding place slowly clapping)

Prince Bella:nice job miss assassin, you almost got me

Justin: wait how old are you?

Prince Bella: twelve almost thirteen and soon to be king (he says proudly). Why?

(Justin puts back her knife and quickly exits)

Prince Bella: WAIT MISS ASSASSIN WHERE ARE YOU GOING!?!? Well that was weird. I better go tell dad that another assassin tried to kill me.

(Prince Bella exits)

(Justin enters slowly looking around to make sure that the Prince is gone)

Justin: okay what is going on here? Who on Mewpurrter wants some twelve year old kid to die? I need to look into this more.

(Justin goes looking around the room and then exits)

(switch scene to Mewpurrter Enchanted Forest)

(Justin enters carrying a small book)

Justin: well I made it out alive. I was afraid that one of those palace guards would see me leaving but luckily they didn't. Now let's take a look at this.

(Justin sits down and opens the book)

(narrator enters)

Narrator: during the time you missed Justin snuck into the king's personal library and found his secret journal.

(narrator exits)

Justin: okay let's see, no that's just about how amazing he is at being king. Wait that doesn't sound like him. Hmm. oh this looks right, “Prince Bella”, wow such an amazing name that totally doesn't tell me what this chapter is about. Okay let's see what he is saying here “ my son the prince is twelve, almost thirteen. This is not good, for you see when he turns thirteen he will take over my kingdom. I am hiring assassins to try and kill him”(she reads)

(Justin stops reading)

Justin: what! The king seriously hired me to kill his own son! No I must finish reading there has to be an explanation! (starts reading again) “these assassins are top notch, or so I've been told. But so far not a single one of the nine they've sent has been able to kill or even injure my son. They say they are now sending their best assassin. I just hope this assassin knows what she's doing, cause if she doesn't then my son will take control of the kingdom, and I don't even want to think about me not getting to be in charge. I guess if this assassin doesn't succeed I’ll just have to kill the Prince myself, oh well. Better than me not staying in power.”

(Justin stops reading and looks up)

Justin: this doesn't sound like King Lilly at all. But nevermind that, I have to save this Prince. (puts on very determined look) then I'll figure out what exactly is going on.

(Justin stands up and walks off stage)

(switch scene to castle)

(King Lilly is sitting in a chair)

(narrator enters)

Narrator: meanwhile back at the castle of The Dark Forest:

(narrator exits)

(Prince Bella enters)

Prince Bella: dad….

King Lilly: no exit and enter again and this time do it properly

(Prince Bella exits and then walks back on)

Prince Bella: King Lilly…

King Lilly: there, that's better, now what do you want?

Prince Bella: another assassin came, she tried to stab me. But luckily she didn't

King Lilly: (mutters under breath) stupid assassin

Prince Bella: wait what did you just say?

King Lilly: oh nothing just a………. Is the assassin still here?

Prince Bella: no I usually capture them when they try to kill me…… but this one was different.

King Lilly: how so?

Prince Bella: after I tricked her into thinking I was in my bed and she had pulled back the covers ready to stab me and then found out I wasn't there, you know what I usually do, anyway, after I revealed myself.. Instead of attacking me like all the other assassins do at that point… instead she asked me how old I was. I said I was twelve and after that she just left.

King Lilly: hmm very interesting…..okay well just go back to your room and go to sleep. I will post extra guards outside your door.

(Prince Bella exits)

King Lilly: what is with this new assassin, I should call her and make sure she still is going to kill my son.

(King Lilly picks up his phone and calls Justin)

King Lilly: hello, it's come to my attention that there has been no news of the prince's death. Are you still planning to kill him?

(Justin mumbles something from the other side of the phone)

King Lilly: okay fine I'll give you until midnight on wednesday to kill him, it's monday now so that will give you about three days. If you can't then then I’ll kill him myself.

(King Lilly hangs up the phone)

King Lilly: silly assassin, saying she does things differently so it will take her longer. I might as well walk down to his room and murder him right now…..no, this is supposed to be the best assassin in the business, she must know what she's doing.

(King Lilly exits)

(lights dim and then turn brighter then dims a little bit more)

(Justin walks in)

Justin: okay its Tuesday night time to put my plan into action. I better go to the Prince's room

(Justin exits)

(switch scene to Prince Bellas room)

(Prince Bella enters)

(there is a sound from outside the door)

Prince Bella: oh no! Is that assassin back again. I better go hide!

(Prince Bella hides where the assassin will not be able to see him)

(Justin enters)

Justin: hey prince, where are you?

(Justin walks over with her dagger and pulls the covers off his bed)

Prince Bella: miss assassin, you seriously think i would fall for a silly trick like that.

(Prince Bella pulls out a sword)

Justin: i need you to come with me..

Prince Bella: yeah right like I'm going to fall for that

Justin: NOW!

Prince Bella: NEVER!!!!!!!!!!

(Prince Bella lunges at Justin with his sword)

(Justin ducks and quickly unbalanced him and knocks his sword out of his hand. Then she grabs both of his hands and ties them together. Justin drags Prince Bella off stage)

(switch scene to Mewpurrter Enchanted Forest)

(Justin pulls Prince Bella on stage and unties his hands)

Prince Bella: what is wrong with you? I thought you were an assassin trying to kill me, but this is more like kidnapping me.

Justin: i was sent to kill you but-

Prince Bella: this doesn't seem like you are trying to kill me. (he says rudely)

(Justin gets annoyed)

Justin: i was sent to kill you BUT i don't want to anymore, instead i came back to save you

Prince Bella: save me?

(Justin takes out the book that she had taken from King Lilly)

Justin: here, read the chapter titled “Prince Bella”

(Prince Bella flips through the book and starts to read)

Prince Bella: i don't see the point of thi…..

Justin: see, i'm trying to save you.

Prince Bella: no this couldn't have been written by my dad….. This just…. It doesn't sound like him

Justin: i thought so too but i know positively that it’s his.

Prince Bella: how?

Justin: i saw him writing in it. I think he is being controlled

Prince Bella: what do you mean, controlled?

Justin: there is only one living soul that i know of that would be stupid enough to take over someone and then leave a journal of their plan-

Prince Bella: WELL WHO IS IT!!

Justin: IF YOU WOULDN'T INTERRUPT ME MAYBE I COULD TELL YOU
Prince Bella: okay, sorry

Justin: i think Max has taken over King Lilly

Prince Bella: wait you mean that weird sorceress person that lives in a tower at the darkest corner of the Dark Forest

Justin: yes, but Max is not just some weird sorceress, no, she is the keeper of the Jabereep stone

Prince Bella: the what?

Justin: the Jabereep stone, that means infinity stone in Catish. You are a Prince!!! You should know some of the founding language of Mewpurrter! Anyway, Max is about 40 she's had the stone for about 20 to 25 years. She probably isn't that good at using its powers yet, i doubt she will be until she's about 2,000 to 3,000 years old, we could probably defeat her relatively easily.

Prince Bella: we?

Justin: yeah we, you think i’m going to risk my life to save some silly Prince that hasn't even bothered to ask for my name, yeah right, if i risk my life by trying to defeat Max then you are coming too.

Prince Bella: but….

Justin: but what? I'm an assassin and you're a prince, together i think we can manage to beat a sorceress that can barely use any magic.

Prince Bella: but she wants to kill me!

Justin: then don't let her

(Justin grabs Prince Bella's hand and pulls him off stage)

(switch scene to King Lillys room)

(Justin enters dragging Prince Bella in with her)

King Lilly: WHAT IS GOING ON HERE!!

Justin: i know you are the one who hired me to kill him

King Lilly: okay….how does that affect you killing him or not

Justin: i'm not killing him just so you can keep being ruler

King Lilly: but i'll give you one million dollars

Justin: i wouldn't do it for a billion, and you're not even the king

King Lilly: oh really then who am i?

Justin: Max

King Lilly: okay fine you caught me im Max, but he is still going to die

Justin: not while i'm here he's not.

(Justin takes out her dagger and fights King Lilly)

(she wins easily, King Lilly falls to the ground, Max enters)

Max: I WILL NEVER SURRENDER!!!!!
(Max runs over and tries to stab Prince Bella)

(right before Max can stab Prince Bella Justin stabs her and she falls to the ground)

Justin: NOW LEAVE!!! OR ELSE

(Max gets up and slowly walks backward off stage)

Max: YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE LAST OF ME!!!

(Max exits)

Prince Bella: thanks you saved me

Justin: yeah i guess. Well i have to go now.

(Justin runs out of the room and Prince Bella runs after her)

(switch scene to Mewpurrter enchanted forest)

(Justin runs in and Prince Bella runs in after her)

Prince Bella: WAIT!

(Justin stops and turns to face Prince Bella)

Justin: why are you following me?

Prince Bella: i...well you…. You saved me, how can you just run away now

Justin: well i finished my mission, kind of, i have to leave now. Anyway you have to go back to your castle and become the king.

Prince Bella: i don't really think i'm ready to become king. Also, you never even told me your name

Justin: if i do i would have to kill you.

Prince Bella: oh

Justin: wait i have an idea! Follow me!

(Justin walk off and Prince Bella follows)

(switch scene to Justin's headquarters)

(Justin boss is sitting at a table. Justin enters and Prince Bella follows her)

Justin's boss: who is that?

Justin: Prince Bella

Justin's boss: what did you do now?

Justin: long story, i'll tell you later but long story short i didn't kill him and i want him to become my assistant

Justin's boss: him? Your assistant? Does he even know how to kill someone?

Justin: i'll teach him

Justin's boss: okay fine.

(Justin and Prince Bella exit)

(switch scene to plain scene)

(Justin and narrator enter)

Justin: the end

Narrator: so you never killed him?

Justin: nope.

(Prince Bella enters)

Prince Bella: hey Justin! I have a new mission for us!

Justin: oh hi Bella! Who is the target?

Prince Bella: I’ll tell you on the way. Let's go!

Justin: okay!

(Justin and Prince Bella exit)

Narrator: and they lived happily ever after. At least for now...

(all characters enter)

(everyone stands in a line and bows)
