Princess মটর ran through the woods, jumping over বৃক্ষ roots, pushing past branches. She couldn't let them murder Conrad. She had grown to care too much about him. Although she was unsure what kind of প্রণয় she felt for him, she knew that she loved him. And that was all she needed to know. She arrived to a group of Natives who were on a cliff, surrounding two prisoners...John Smith and Conrad. Both were tied up and bound to the ground. Pocahontas threw herself on to John Smith and yelled at her father, the chief, not to go through with the execution. সেকেন্ড later, মটর threw herself onto Conrad.
    "Pea!" Conrad's eyes brightened as though an অ্যাঞ্জেল had descended from the heavens. "You're here."
    "Of course I'm here, আপনি doofus," মটর laughed through her tears, "I would never let something like this happen to you."
    "Pea, there's something আপনি need to know...I've been trying to tell you..." Conrad began but his attention quickly turned to Pocahontas, who was telling her father that she loves John Smith.
    "This is the path I choose, Father," she ব্যক্ত with strength and dignity. "What will yours be?"
    A majestic wind pierced the air. After coming to the decision that violence was not the answer, everything seemed resolved. For a moment.
    "Guys!" মটর screamed. "That fat bastard's aiming his gun at Poca's dad!"
    In the nick of time, John shoved Chief Powhatan out of the way, taking the bullet himself. After some brief mayem, the English settlers arrested the villainous Ratcliffe and prepared to depart back to England.
    "Pocahontas, are আপনি going to see John Smith?" মটর asked. "They're taking him back to England. He's seriously wounded..."
    "I feel so confused," Pocahontas turned to Pea. "I did what needed to be done. There will be no war...and yet, my problems aren't solved. I have to choose between my one true প্রণয় and my family."
    "Well, whatever আপনি decide, আপনি have my best wishes." মটর hugged Pocahontas. "Remember, family is প্রণয় too. Just a different kind. And as our friend Grandmother Willow told us, sometimes the right path is not the easy one."
    "When did আপনি become so wise?" Pocahontas asked with an impressed grin on her face.
    "Well, I had help from a creepy গান গাওয়া tree..." মটর laughed. "And a great friend." Her and Pocahontas shared a final hug. "Anyways, I've got to go to the lagoon and talk to Conrad. There's something I need to tell him. Thanks for everything. We'll see each other again hopefully."
    "Goodbye," replied Pocahontas, waving traditionally. She disappeared into the fog.
    Pea hurried to the ভেলা outside the lagoon, where Conrad was waiting. He looked at মটর and smiled.
    "Pea," Conrad said. "I can't thank আপনি enough for all that you've done for me."
    "Don't mention it," মটর said. "You've rescued me before as well if I recall." মটর wondered if Conrad was going to confess his love. For a moment she thought she saw a glimmer in his eyes that meant he wanted to. Oh, just say it, মটর thought. I'm not gonna be the one to say if first... "Well, should we get going? It looks like it's about time we bothered someone else. Shall we?" She stepped onto the ভেলা and he followed. An ঘন্টা of silence passed, just floating through a stream on a ভেলা of twigs, on towards the পরবর্তি unknown destination.
    "Pea," ব্যক্ত Conrad suddenly.
    "Yeah?" মটর answered anxiously.
    "There's something I wanna say to you."
    He stopped for a moment, wondering to himself if মটর could ever see him as আরো than a peasant. She answered his প্রশ্ন without using a single word.
