Queen Mab is passing over the pond and the palace distributing dreams. The wicked Queen is awake and she stops to ask her a question. What dreams should she pass on in the palace? The queen tells her that in her heart Beatrice wants to escape being a princess and does not want to marry the dreadful Bertie. She should dream of being a normal person.

When Beatrice awakes she goes to ask Bertie about his dreams. She tells him hers and concludes that they just don’t have the same dreams anymore. When two people are in love, she says, they should have exactly the same dreams.Bertie would never dream of becoming an ordinary citizen. He says it is not just selfish, but when you are born into something privileged you also have responsibilities. She says he sounds like his father and packs her bags (though Bertie thinks it is just a mood).

Beatrice heads off into the world. The Wicked Queen is jubilant.

First Beatrice has to rent a room. She lives with a family and gets a job in a coffee shop. She perfects the art of making little leaf shapes.

She gets fired from the coffee shop, and then she gets a job in a kitchen with a shouty chef, and then she applies to be a traffic warden giving out parking tickets but she falls for every sob story.

Eventually she does succeeed doing something … not sure what… but she misses Bertie. Maybe she becomes a successful comedian - something that Bertie always wanted to do.

“Bertie, will you have me back, even though I tell better jokes than you do?”

Bertie is constantly sending her texts and emails with sweet little poems and messages.

He turns up in the audience for one of her comedy shows and begs her to come back to the palace.

At some point she is crying and an old lady comforts her and assures her that if she was lucky enough to be able to marry a prince, that is exactly what any poor girl would do.

She starts to dream of her life of luxury - of her charity work and her help for the palace kids - and of Bertie.
