(To FAIRY GODMOTHER)
It worked, fairy godmother. It worked! I'm happy not being a beauty.
(Looks at NICK)
But, I can't just go back to the way I was. I like my new life.

"Fairy Godmother"
by D. M. Larson
PRINCESS BEAUTY
Nick, please don't grovel. That's why I liked you. You didn't feel like you had to treat me that way. I'm just a normal peasant girl now.
My stupid fairy godmother did this to me. Correction: My smart fairy godmother. She's made me like cleaning.
(To FAIRY GODMOTHER)
It worked, fairy godmother. It worked! I'm happy not being a beauty.
(Looks at NICK)
I never thought I could live without my beauty, but I guess I can.
But, I can't just go back to the way I was. I like my new life.
I just don't want to be who I was before. I can never be as good as Honor.
(To HONOR)
I'm still not as beautiful as you are, sister. I don't think I ever can be.
I used to think I was the most beautiful woman in the kingdom, but not anymore. Now I think you've always been the most beautiful the whole time, I just couldn't see it.
No, Fairy Godmother, don't change me back. I don't think I want my old beauty anymore. It does me more harm than good.
