* '''Reconstructed''': ???Alice perseveres. She does the research, dispels the myths, and determines the facts and duties of a princess. She surrounds herself with supportive people while ignoring the whims and wishes of her critics. She knows that simply fantasising won't do her any good, and as such, she takes action and formulates a long-term plan to pursue her goal of being a princess. One step at a time, Alice's fantasy eventually turns into reality. The last scene has her triumphantly placing a tiara on her head, knowing that her hard work was ultimately WorthIt.
