(Enter Fountain, David, and Daisy) Fount: Flying Squirrel! Squir: Your Majesty? Fount: The completion of the wedding ceremony is at hand and I wanted to know, ahead of time and as a personal favorto me, if there's any chance of another interruption. Squir: None what-ever! To be sure, the gods approve and no one and no thing will stop the happy union today. Fount: (aside to Squirrel) Flying Squirrel, listen to me. How would you like to perform another love spell? That ward of yours follows us around everywhere. It is neither proper nor enjoyable. Can you do something? Squir: The matter will have my immediate attention. (to Daisy) Daisy, haven't you been neglecting your studies lately? Daisy: (sarcasticly) Oh, no, my guardian! I'm memorized all the incantations and spells for today's lesson, completed all the lab experiments for the week, and read three months in advance in all the text books you've assigned to me. Squir: Oh, you're a fine student. David: I'm sure you have reason to be especially proud of her. Squir: I do. That is why I'm giving her this difficult assignment. (sits her down) I want you to sit here until you've perfected the technique of reading the constellations in the daytime - and not a word out of you until! (exit all but Daisy) Daisy: Reading constellations in the daytime! I don't even know what a constellation is but there must be one around her somewhere (looks around). And I suppose as soon as I learn to read them in the daytime he'll be expecting me to read them at night! Anything to keep me away from David. Canoe: (enters) Daisy, I've been thinking about you and David. Daisy: There's a surprise. Canoe: And I have the perfect solution. Daisy: You do? Canoe: Yes, it's simple. Firsly, you expose your guardian, Flying Squirrel as a fake. Daisy: And just suppose he isn't a fake? Canoe: (laughs) That's what this experiment will determine. As I was saying, firstly, you expose your guardian, Flying Squirrel, as a fake. This consequently means that it is impossible for him to cast spells. If he cannot cast spells, he could not have magically brought David and Fountain together and if he did not magically bring David and Fountain together, he has not honored his a contract. If he has not honored his contract then he must marry Fountain himself, leaving David free to marry you. Daisy: (interested) And if Flying Squirrel really was a fake, and I say if, if he really was a fake and I exposed him, how would I ever reconcile myself to the tribe's wrath that would fall upon him when they discover his deception? Canoe: Daisy dear, this plan allows for no wrath because upon marrying Fountain, Flying Squirrel becomes royalty himself and no one can touch him! Daisy: (after some thought) And all I have to do is expose Flying Squiirrel as a fake? He is a fake, you know. Canoe: I knew it! I knew it! Daisy: But stay! What about the wrath that falls upon me when the tribe realizes my part in this? Canoe: That's a good point. The only solution lies in somehow getting Flying Squirrel to expose himself and you, being young and passing innocent, can be just as shocked as everyone else at his confession. Do you think you can manage that? Daisy: I can't allow myself the luxury of thinking. I simply must!
