"Conrad, there's something I have to tell you," kacang summoned all of her courage.
"What is it?" asked Conrad, his voice tender and sweet. kacang melted everytime she heard it. Although she would never tell him this.
"That bitchy princess your father works for..."
"What about her?"
"I'm her," Princess kacang looked down in shame.
"You're the princess that has made my father's life a living hell for the past sixteen years?" Conrad's eyes widened in shock. "You're the reason he couldn't come halaman awal for natal two years ago? I can't believe it! I knew anda were a handful kacang but I am really shocked! How could anda do those things?"
"Conrad, listen to me," Peanalita pleaded. "I've changed, I'm not the same girl who used to treat Leopold like dirt, anda have to believe me!"
"Why should I?" Conrad retorted bitterly. "You're nothing but a selfish, rude girl who cares only about herself."
"I probably shouldn't have told anda this while we're on a rakit in the middle of the ocean," kacang sighed. "You could totally throw me off and no one would ever find me."
"I would never do that," Conrad answered, making kacang smile. "Unlike you, I actually have a heart." Pea's smile faded faster than they crank out those crappy direct-to-video sequels.
Pea was about to work up some sort of sassy remark when suddenly lightning struck. Rain began to pour and thunder viciously banged heavily through the sky. The rakit began to toss and turn violently. Just then, an enormous wave approached the rakit with great stamina and tossed the rakit upside down. kacang managed to hold on and climb back aboard, only to find Conrad had disappeared beneath the waves.
"No!" kacang cried. She quickly grabbed one of the vines used to build the rakit and unraveled it from the sail. She tied it around her waist, making sure the other end was securely tightened to the little raft. Without a moment to lose, kacang merpati in the water, a rather ambitious pindah for a girl who couldn't actually swim. She flailed underneath the sea and eventually saw Conrad sinking into the depths, unconscious. She grabbed onto his arm and began hoisting herself up the vine. She couldn't hold her breath much longer. She noticed the vine begin to thin but grabbed hold of the rakit in the nick of time. She shoved Conrad onto the rakit just as sky began to clear up and the waves began to settle. Conrad coughed and opened his eyes.
"Pea, you," he struggled to speak as he coughed up lebih water. "Y-You saved me."
"Well, yeah," kacang laughed. "You think I wanna be stuck on this rakit alone with no one to menggerutu, jalang at?"
"Pea, I'm sorry I judged you," Conrad smiled faintly. "I guess people really can change. I never would've guessed in a million years that..."
"That what?"
"The girl that my father complained about all these years would be the girl that I fall in lo-" His sentence was interrupted oleh the sound of distant drumming.
"What was that?"
"Oh sure," Conrad thought to himself, rolling his eyes. "I wasn't about to confess my cinta atau anything."
"I heard drums," Princess kacang smiled. "We must be near land, look there's a teluk, da? up ahead, anda can just see it through the fog!"
As the little rakit approached the bay, kacang noticed a huge cliff. And on puncak, atas of that cliff stood a tall, beautiful Native American woman, whose long black hair was dancing in the wind.
