Around the stroke of midnight, Layla saw another princess
run down the steps. A man was running
after her. The princess stumbled and left something glistening on the step. The
shinny object slowed the prince down as he swooped down to pick it up instead
of continuing his chase.
Suddenly there was a rattle on Layla’s carriage door.
“Help me!” cried Cinderella. “I need to hide from my true love.”
Layla was about to tell the girl if you felt you had to hide from someone, perhaps they were
not your true love after all. Before she could speak, Cinderella dove through
the carriage window.
Then came a knock on the carriage door “Excuse me, Princess.
Have you by chance lost a shoe?”
“No sir I did not lose my shoe,” Layla said. “The girl hiding
behind my carriage curtains did.”
“And will you let me in to her?” the prince asked
Layla said, “My carriage door is locked.”
The prince inhaled sharply, “A damsel in distress! I will
help you!”
From behind the curtain Cinderella called, “Just don’t fall
in love with her!”
Layla blushed at the awkward exchange. “Perhaps I can crawl out
through this window, and then you can crawl in and return the girl’s lost shoe.”
The prince’s eyes widened as he held up the slipper. “Of course!
This shoe is my one and only way to find her. I will try it on every maiden in
the kingdom for I am certain it will fit no one but my true love.”
Layla grimaced. “Or you could just use identifying facial
features or her name?”
The prince rattled on, deaf to Layla’s voice, “This is a
hero’s journey. I will sacrifice both food and sleep until I find her.” The prince
leaned into the carriage, “Perhaps you would be so kind as to try on this shoe.
Then I would know if you were my one true love.”
Layla let out an exasperated sigh before crawling through
the carriage window. “How about I just let you in to her.”
The prince raised his hand, “No, let your faulty carriage take her away. I have her shoe and with it I will find her again.”
Layal was in disbelief, “But she’s right here. In a locked carriage.
You can be with her now.”
“But you are the first damsel I have come across,” the prince
replied. “Therefore, I command you to
try on this shoe.”
Layla rubbed her temple. It was going to be a long night.
Chapter 3 by Mom: Layla the Plant
Suddenly Cinderella’s Fairy God Mother appeared in a flash of
blinding pink light. Silver sparkles
fell softly around her. But her eyes were like a fuming flame.
She forced a smile in Layla’s direction. “I have not gone to
all this work to have another princess steal Ella’s happily ever after!”
With a wave of her wand, Layla felt her body stiffen. A pot of soil buried her feet, and she felt
her toes begin to spread. Her hair
became delicate branches, and all her perfectly hidden spilt ends became
thorns. Layla felt herself begin to breathe through her fingertips as they
spread into broad green leaves. Her red
lips, soft as delicate pedals, blossomed into a perfect rose.
When the transformation was complete, the fairy god mother
smiled sweetly at the prince, “Isn’t it wonderful that plants do not have feet?
Now off with you to find your one true love.”
Chapter 4 by J: Pen the Sour Patch Kid
Pen was a sour patch kid. She lived in a sour patch kid bag. One day, the bag was opened. Pen jumped out and ran! A hand tried to grab her. She bounced off of it and fell on a giant thing. She ran and jumped off the edge. Then she ran. She ran and ran and ran. Soon she got tired. She got outside and climbed up a giant tree. Then she read a spell book that told her three ingredients that she needed to get to go to a secret world. They were a leaf, dust, and herself. She found a leaf and dust. Then she made a portal and got the the secret world.
Chapter 5 by J: Prince Charming the New Dentist
Prince Charming wanted to find Cinderella. So he thought, Hey if I can find the fairy godmother, I can find my one true love. But how?
Then he saw a sour patch kid running to a tree and he thought, If I become a dentist, I can pull people's teeth and capture the tooth fairy and she can tell me where the fairy god mother is.
Blanda, and her dragon master, appeared in a wave of salty
water.
“I’m here!” she roared.
The other dragons were dismayed, “Prince Charming ran off three
minutes ago! Where were you?”
The dragon master sighed, “I got caught petting a porcupine.”
Chapter 8- By A: Lay is Stuck in the Muck
Lay was looking for Ranc, her porcupine. But she couldn’t find
him. Soon she saw a quill sticking out of the muck. She ran in the muck but
then she got stuck in the muck. But when she sank down, she was surrounded by
water! She had gone through a portal. She got on land, and she was lost and stuck
again. Then, ouch! Ranc was swimming in the muck. She dived in the muck.
“Finally, home,” said Lay. She and Ranc skipped home.
The next day Lay and Ranc went splashing in their secret
world. It was her secret and she and Ranc were the only ones that could go in
there.
Splash! Lay has found a waterslide in her secret world. She
was having too much fun to notice there was a shadow coming from the air. Five minutes later she saw it. She looked down
and it was in the water! She dived down. Blast! Water was keeping her up in the
air. When she finally went down, oof, she had landed on a water dragon. It
leapt out of the water. It looked like a wave. It landed on the shore, and she
got off.
“Thanks!” said Lay. “What’s your name?”
The water dragon sprayed water in the air, and it made the word
Blanda.
“So Blanda, do you live here?”
She sprayed water and made, yes. Can you come visit me? I
live over there.
“Yes,” said Lay. “Thanks for saving me. I almost couldn’t
hold my breath.”
