The raft, slab that Princess pea, njegere and Conrad built seemed sturdy, secure, and safe. But as many people often need to learn on zaidi than one occasion, looks can be very deceiving. As they sailed through the bayou and reached the open sea, Conrad and pea, njegere got to talking.
    "Conrad, there's something I have to tell you," pea, njegere summoned all of her courage.
    "What is it?" asked Conrad, his voice tender and sweet. pea, njegere 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 pea, njegere 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 nyumbani for krisimasi two years ago? I can't believe it! I knew wewe were a handful pea, njegere but I am really shocked! How could wewe 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, wewe 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 wewe this while we're on a raft, slab in the middle of the ocean," pea, njegere sighed. "You could totally throw me off and no one would ever find me."
    "I would never do that," Conrad answered, making pea, njegere 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 raft, slab began to toss and turn violently. Just then, an enormous wave approached the raft, slab with great stamina and tossed the raft, slab upside down. pea, njegere managed to hold on and climb back aboard, only to find Conrad had disappeared beneath the waves.
    "No!" pea, njegere cried. She quickly grabbed one of the vines used to build the raft, slab 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, pea, njegere njiwa in the water, a rather ambitious songesha 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 raft, slab in the nick of time. She shoved Conrad onto the raft, slab 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 zaidi water. "Y-You saved me."
    "Well, yeah," pea, njegere laughed. "You think I wanna be stuck on this raft, slab alone with no one to bitch, kahaba 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 kwa the sound of distant drumming.
    "What was that?"
    "Oh sure," Conrad thought to himself, rolling his eyes. "I wasn't about to confess my upendo au anything."
    "I heard drums," Princess pea, njegere smiled. "We must be near land, look there's a bay up ahead, wewe can just see it through the fog!"
    As the little raft, slab approached the bay, pea, njegere noticed a huge cliff. And on juu of that cliff stood a tall, beautiful Native American woman, whose long black hair was dancing in the wind.
