SCENE 1 | Maria greets the viewer while playing with Gabi when Telly alerts her that Prince Charming is on his way, looking for Cinderella. The prince sees Gabi and notes how both "Gabriela" and "Cinderella" sound alike, so he tries the glass slipper on her. It's a perfect fit! The prince declares her to be his princess, but Maria declines and takes Gabi to get lunch; the prince wonders how anyone can say no to his request. |
