[Scene opens up in the kitchen]

***

[SFX: Kitchen Ambiance]

"Phillip, I need the duck sauce!"

[SFX: Footsteps rushing]

"Rachael, get the Hors d'oeuvres out! We can't keep them waiting!"

[SFX: Flames going]

"Michael, make sure to sauté the pasta, not burn it!"

[SFX: Walking towards her]

"...And for the last time the flambé should be prepared AFTER the main courses are-"

[You tap on her shoulder]

"Ah, Your highness. I didn't expect to see you back here."

[You ask if you two can talk privately]

"Talk privately? Well..."

[You give her the puppy dog eyes]

"Ugh! Fine. Just don't overuse that though. The whole "Puppy dog eyes" may work on me, but it might not work on my next chef."

[SFX: Whistle]

"Hey Tony! Cover for me will ya?"

[He nods]

"Okay, let's go into my office."

[You two walk in the back and enter a dark room]

"Now I know I put that candle around here somewhere."

[She finds the candle]

"A-Ha. Here it is."

[SFX: Match lighting]

"There we go. And then there was light."

[She puts the candle down]

"Okay, so. What did you want to discuss with me?"

[You ask if she can be honest with you?]

"Honest with you? What ever do you mean?"

[You ask if you are a good cook?]

"*Chuckles* Forgive me your highness. It's just I truly believe that anyone can cook."

[You ask again]

"I still stand by my answer. Prince or not, I think anyone and I do mean anyone can cook."

[SFX: Squeaking chair]

"Now, if you were to ask me if you could be one of the chef's; that's a different story."

[Pause]

"I do say this with all do respect. When it comes to being a chef, I am the first to admit that I'm a bit of a...perfectionist."

[SFX: Rustling papers]

"That being said, why do you want to learn how to cook so badly?"

[You look away]

"Hey, we go way back. There is no shame in telling me. I've been the head chef for a few years now. I do like to think we can still talk."

[You mention the old phrase about a man's heart]

"*Snicker* Oh yeah, that old phrase of "The quickest way to a man's heart is through his stomach". What about it?"

[You start blushing]

"*Gasp* Don't tell me; you finally found a suitor?"

[Pause]

"Man, this girl must be pretty amazing if you won't say anything about it."

[You say it's complicated]

"Complicated you say? Come on man. Every fair maiden would be lucky to have such a fine young prince such as yourself."

[Pause]

"Speaking of witch, your suppose to be in the ballroom right now. Meeting with the suitors that your family set up."

[You look away again]

"Uh-oh. Don't tell me, the girl you have fallen for doesn't have the blessing of your parents."

[Pause]

"Dude, your too easy to read. Anytime you look away and break eye contact with me, it always means your hiding something."

[Pause]

"So, out with it. Is she a commoner? A thief? Or dare I say it...someone your parent's specifically asked you not to be in relations with?"

[You say it's a chef]

"A chef...huh. If that is the case, you want my advice?"

[You nod]

"Don't! They can be a real pain. Especially around this time of the year."

[You look slightly defeated]

"Hey, don't feel too bad. There are plenty of nice princesses to gladly fill in the shoe's of being your beloved."

[You nod]

"By any chance though, do I know this chef?"

[You nod again]

"Oh? It looks like the plot thickens. So tell me, is it one of my chef's?"

[Pause]

"The silence tells me that it is. So...is it one of my pastry chef's? Or perhaps my Saucier..."

[Pause]

"Come on man, I mean it's not like I'll judge you or anything."

[You say it's her]

"Me? You...you have a crush on me?"

[She starts to laugh]

"That's a good one prince. I mean, why would you be in love with me?"

[You mention her strengths]

"I mean sure, we were really close for many years now. It's just..."

[She sighs]

"Look, outside of my chef attire; I don't really dress that fancy. If anything, I tend to wear more guy cloths."

[You ask why]

"You know why. Having five brothers and being the only girl. Even my Hand-Me-Downs are all boy related. I just kind of...accepted it."

[Pause]

"Besides, it's Christmas. A time where you can find true love-"

[You mention valentine's]

"Okay, Valentine's day is also a thing. It's just too cliché to find love on that day though. Especially since you don't seem the type to woo a girl on that day."

[Pause]

"What were you planning on doing anyways, pulling out some mistletoe and have me kiss you?"

[She chuckles then slowly stops]

"Wait, were you really going to do that?"

[You nod and pull out the mistletoe]

"Woah, didn't see that coming. I...um...*Sigh* Okay fine. I'll humor you. It's not like you would actually enjoy kissing me any-"

[SFX: Kissing]

"Mm~, Chocolate...and RASBERRY?! I knew it! You did take a slice of my top tier Dessert. That was for the princesses."

[You ask if it really is a big deal]

"Well duh! If my desserts can be eaten by royalty and word spreads around; you know what that can do for my businesses?!"

[You apologize]

"*Sighs* it's fine. Although I probably have to apologize to Sarah. I gave her an ear full because I thought she stole it."

[Pause]

"*Facepalms* And to make matters worse, my childhood friend-no, my only friend confesses to me."

[You ask if it really is a big deal]

"Well, of course it's a big deal. No offense to your feelings; but I've dreamed of working for royalty ever since I was a little girl."

[Pause]

"It probably is going to become crashing all down after this."

[You ask why?]

"Do you really think your parents will still have me; even though I have stolen your heart?!"

[Pause]

"Exactly. I just...I just don't want to lose any good favors I have with them. *Under her breath* or to you for that matter."

[You ask if she really means that]

"Of course I mean that. Remember how long it has taken them to trust me for feeding their Knights and Lords?"

[Pause]

"*Sniffles* And now, I'm in a position where I'm suppose to be happy but...but..."

[She starts to cry]

"The truth is, I do love you. I just don't want to lose my position either. Does that make sense?"

[You nod]

"I know that it seems greedy of me. I just...*Sniffle* I just want to be able to keep doing what I love."

[You say she can]

"Huh? What do you mean?"

[You mention her success with the guest]

"Our guest...really like it?"

[You nod]

"*Clears throat* I mean...of course they like it. It's my work after all."

[Pause]

"So, does this mean that all this time when you were learning how to cook...you were trying to have me fall for you?"

[You nod]

"Aw~. That would be so romantic...if it also wasn't so dumb. You should of just told me. It wouldn't matter too much to me."

[She gets closer]

"Because, I would gladly be your girlfriend. If only in private~."

[SFX: Kissing]

"Tell you what, if you can't find a proper suitor. As well as I can find some good bargains with the other princesses. Then and only then will I properly confess to you. Ok?"

[You nod]

"Good~"

[She pulls you in for another deep kiss]

"Just don't get use to this. Until this all blows by and Christmas is behind us; all I can think about is the dishes that were going to present."

[She tries to go in for another kiss]

[SFX: Pots and pans crashing]

"*Sigh* Oh my god. Okay, I guess duty calls."

[SFX: Door opening]

"Michael, Seriously?! I mean, is it too much to ask for you guys not to get these orders this badly messed up? I feel like I'm running a Nursery!"

[She pops her head back in]

"Just remember, you asked for all of this."

[You nod]

"*Giggles* I can't believe that I fell for-"

[SFX: Plates crashing]

"Rachael! Is it really that complicated to get a few finger foods out there? I mean come on!"

[Fade to black]

[To be continued...?]
