John launches herself at Bastian!

With a scream that is an equal mix of rag and terror, John launches herself at Bastian, at the man who reduced her to this... this... satin-bound weakling.

She refused to accept it.

HE refused to accept it.

He was John Anderson!

(Oh hell. Bastian had given her a name.)

He was a man!

(Bastian called her a Princess. A pretty Princess.)

He wasn't going to let Bastian Helmsley of all people push him around!

(Bastian was strong enough to push her down, **** her to kiss him, to to to -- !)
