The Prince and the Spooky Mystery


One day, the handsome Prince mysteriously found himself in a garden with the Princess. But he couldn't remember why he was there.




“Princess, what are we doing here?”




“I'm trying to help you find a way to escape.”




“I don't understand," said the Prince, “escape from what? All we're doing is picking chocolates up from the ground.”




“You have to try to escape,” said the Princess, “it's our only chance.”




“But I don’t understand . . .”, said the Prince.




But then the garden started to fade away. “Find a way out Prince. Help us!”




And as the garden evaporated into mist the Prince thought he saw something familiar . . .




Then the Prince found himself by the sea.




“What happened?” “How did I get here?”




The place seemed familiar to the Prince, so he followed a trail along the shore.




Eventually he came to a rock by the sea.




Suddenly a man appeared on the rock, along with the Princess.




The Prince recognized him as the jailer from the castle. “Halt!”, said the Prince, “Where did you come from?!”




The man answered, “I am trapped here as well and cannot escape. Only you can free us.”




“But I don't know what you're talking about! And where did that baby come from?!”




“You need to leave here,” said the Princess, “you are here because this place feels safe to you. Go where danger lies.”




And the world started to turn dark.




“You’re our only hope.” said the Princess. “You must escape.”




And as the Prince started to struggle . . .




a mysterious city came into view.




“Where am I now?”, said the Prince, “can someone please explain what is going on?”




A mysterious figure appeared. “You are working your way through a prison, but escape is from within.”




“A dream! This must be a dream!”





The mysterious figure changed into a mask. “You can be free if you believe in your own strength.”




“So I just need to wake up? To force myself awake?”




And the figure continued to change. “You have strength unlike any other. And can cross the path.”




Then the Princess appeared, “Focus, and you’ll find the way.”




“I just need to awaken!” And as the Prince concentrated he became bathed in a shining light. . .




and the city melted away . . .




and the Prince rose up from his bed.




“YOU!” “I should have known!”




“But . . . but how did you free yourself from my powers!?”, said the Evil Mind Control Baby. “How is it possible?!”




And the Baby started to run away.




“Ogre! Destroy the Prince!”




The Prince fought the Ogre.




And he wrestled the Ogre to the ground.




Then he ran off after the Evil Mind Control Baby.




“Noooooooooooooooo!!”, screamed the Evil Mind Control Baby.




“Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiii-YAH!”




“My plans”, gasped the Baby, “it . . . . cannot end this way . . . .”




And the Evil Mind Control Baby was defeated.



Then, across the kingdom, the people started to awaken, freed from the Evil Baby’s powers.






So the people rejoiced as the Prince had saved everyone in the kingdom! And he was forever loved by the people.




Happy Birthday little Prince! Our hero!

A Birthday Gift She Loved



Once upon a time there was a beautiful Princess





Who lived in a castle with her mother and various servants.





And spend her days helping children with developmental disabilities.






It was the Princess’s birthday, and she was in a bit of a funk because people always gave her weird gifts.





She remembered last year when the ogre stopped by to give her a gift.




A fish.





Her Mother loved birthdays but never wanted her baby to grow up, and would give her





A balloon animal, which was a sweet thought but the Princess was older now.




She remembered when the Evil Vampire Queen told her, "I have a wonderful gift for you in the living room”.





A pile of dirty laundry. (Man she really was evil).





So the Princess went to a wise soothsayer for advice.





He told her that, "On a faraway island, down the coast, past jagged rocks and dangerous waters, lies a beach where a wise old woman sits. She has a gift that you would truly love.”





So the Princess immediately set off for the island.





Crossed dangerous canyons.





And past jagged rocks.





And there she saw a wise old woman, sitting on the beach with a cute baby.





“What brings you to this land Princess?”





“I was told that you have a gift for me that I would truly love.”





“Girrrrrl, what the heck are you talking about? Have you lost your mind? I don't have any gifts for you. Buzz off.”





So the Princess "negotiated" with the wise old woman.





And returned to the castle with a gift that she truly loved.





And because he was so smart the Princess gave the soothsayer a big hug.





She wound up having the best birthday party ever, with lots of treats and dancing.
And lived happily ever after.



Happy Birthday Princess!
