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