** Bob kisses Alice, but she doesn't wake up. Then, Charlie steps in to kiss her instead, and that works. Alice then admits to bob she's been already dating Charlie for a month.
** Bob is told that only true love's kiss can break the spell, It actually just makes him fall asleep too, as well as the piles of other sleeping knights who've tried to rescue Alice.
