Warnerstock's rulers, King William and Queen Angelina Contessa Louisa Francesca Banana Fana Bo Besca II, were beloved by all of Warnerstock.  Their first child was a young prince named Yakko.  Even though he was quite young, he did his best to talk a lot, hence his name.  Three years later, they had another child.  It was another prince, but his name was Wakko.  He was quite a silly baby and he loved to have fun with his big brother, Yakko.

     The king and queen were quite happy with their two sons.  But one evening, William found Angelina on a balcony.  She was looking at the evening sky, with all of those lovely stars.  William walked up to her and asked,
"What is it, my love?"
Angelina looked at her darling husband and replied with,
"I've been doing some thinking.  We have two sons already.  And I love them very dearly"
"Me too, darling"
"But..."
"But what?"
"It would be wonderful if we had a little princess to take care of..."
"My queen...that would be wonderful...we would have two sons and a daughter...I have a bit of an idea"
Angelina has a curious look to her face.
"What is it?" said Angelina.
William put his hand on Angelina's shoulder and he showed her all of the stars with his other hand.
"The night sky is shining as beautifully as you are thanks to all of these stars."
Angelina smiled and said,
"Thank you, darling.  Are you suggesting that we could wish on a star?  That sounds like a wonderful idea.  How about, let's do it together?"
"I say that's even better.."

     So, the king and queen held each other's hands and looked at the starry sky once again.  They said at the same time,
"Wishing Star, please grant one wish for us..."
Just then, one of the stars shined brightly and it came on falling down.  It landed nearby the mountains, where William and Angelina could see it.
"My parents have told me about this legend.  They say that if you touch the wishing star, our wish will come true!" said Angelina.
"Then we have no time to waste, let's go!" William replied with.  So, they gathered all the things they needed and with some guards, they immediately went to the wishing star.  A little mink saw the star fall down and she was curious about why the king and queen are going there.  After a few good hours, when the sun rose, that's when King William and Queen Angelina made it to the star.  They were both amazed with how big and shiny the star was.  They both breathed in and touched the wishing star.  They looked at each other, smiled, and they said,
"We wish to have a daughter!"

     After the star shined brightly, the king and queen were excited to see a daughter.  But alas, there was no one.  They were quite confused by this.  Angelina asked,
"Wh-where is she...?"
William replied with,
"I'm...I'm unsure.  For now, let's go back to the castle.  The boys should be up anytime soon..."
"You have a point, my love..."
So, William and Angelina made their way back to the castle.  It took another few hours, but by the time they made it back, it was a bright and sunny day.  As they entered through the castle doors, they were greeted by little Yakko, who was holding young Wakko. 
"Mama!  Papa!  You're here!!"
Angelina gave Yakko a hug and she also held Wakko, who looked really happy to see her.  She says to her sons,
"Hello, my darlings...I see that you're already up before papa and I came home..."
Just then, a servant walked up to William and said,
"King William!  Queen Angelina!"
William turned around and said,
"Yes?"
"There's something that you might want to see!"
"Boys, we'll be right back.  You two be good as always!"
Yakko replied with,
"Ok, papa!"

     The king and queen were escorted to an area outside of the castle, where they saw a garden with many flowers beginning to grow.  They were confused.
"What's this garden doing out here?  I don't recall planting one?" said Angelina.
"Even I'm unsure too, my love." William replied.
"But since it's here, I suppose we should tend to it.  I do love gardens after all..."
Three months later, spring rolls around and the flowers begin to bloom.  William and Angelina were watering the flowers when they saw that the prettiest flower in the entire garden, which was located past some bushes and underneath a tree, hadn't quite bloomed yet.
"It's a real shame this flower hasn't bloomed yet..." said Angelina.
William held his beloved wife's hand and said,
"My love, it's only the first day of spring.  That beautiful flower will bloom very soon.  We just have to be patient."
However, as they continued watering the flowers, Angelina saw the prettiest flower move just a little bit.  She put down her watering can and began stepping closer to it.  William noticed her and he followed her.
"Strange...I could've sworn I saw it move..." said Angelina.
When the king and queen approach the flower, they see it move even more.
William said,
"You're right, my love!  It did move!"
As the flower kept on moving, they could even hear a little bit of a baby cooing a bit.  But then, the flower stops moving.  It then begins to bloom.  William and Angelina were surprised with what they saw next.  When the flower finished blooming, there was an adorable sleeping baby toon in there that looked just like her parents.

     Angelina gasped and she walked straight to the little baby.  She picked her up and said,
"William...it's a baby girl-!"
William looked around and he even walked to where Angelina was.  He said,
"How could this be...?  We wished for one a few months ago-!"
They then both gasped.  They suddenly remember the garden appearing mysteriously on the day they made their wish.  They then look at their newborn daughter again, who was still sleeping peacefully.  William smiles warmly and says,
"My love...this is what the garden was for..."
Angelina gasps and smiles warmly as well.  She says,
"It...it makes sense now...our daughter was born from the prettiest flower in all the land..."
The queen then finds a soft pink blanket and gently bundles up the little princess in it.
"Nice and warm, my darling..."
William then asks,
"What shall be her name...?"
"Her name shall be Princess Angelina Contessa Louisa Francesca Banana Fana Bo Besca III"
William was a little surprised that his wife instantly knew what she wanted to name their daughter.  He replied with,
"Well, if that's what you'd like to call her, then that shall be her name.  It is a lovely name after all..."
William then finds a tiny flower and attaches it to a tiny hairband.  He gently wraps it around the princess' ears while saying,
"To remember the occasion.."

     The king and queen take their newborn daughter back to the castle, where everyone is surprised, including Yakko and Wakko.  As a few days pass by, they began to notice that the princess liked saying a word that sounded a lot like "Dot"  They learned that she responded more quickly to Dot as opposed to Angelina.  So, from that day forward, the princess was known as Princess Dot Warner.
