            AS A KID, THEA loved fairytales. She remembered her Lola used to read her stories about Princes saving a Princess locked away in her tower and ride off to the sunset on the Prince's loyal horse. Even though being the only daughter in the home, Thea was always treated like a Princess but she wanted to be one. She wanted her own Prince Charming to come and rescue her where together they rule his kingdom while breaking out into a song.

She's just waiting for her Prince. . .








  

            That afternoon, Zach wanted to make a short film movie for his English class. He even went to the extent to ask his older sister and her friends to be apart of the film. Of course,  they agreed but Thea didn't realize until the day of filming that it required her to dress up as his favorite character from Galaxy Wars, Princess Vera.

      Outside out on the pool, Thea was sported in her Princess Vera costume that she had wore years ago at the Swellview Monoplex. The teen girl had her back turned to the pool as she was staring into the sun. As the tension music started playing, all of a sudden someone grabbed the girl by the waist and pulled her inside the pool making her let out a loud scream.

       "Cut!" exclaimed Zach in frustration, almost making Jasper knock over the coffee that he was holding for him . "For muffin sake—how many times do I have to tell you that it's a three count?!"

       Henry who was dressed up as an alien was about to climb out of the pool but Thea grabbed him and pushed him back so that she can get up first. "What did I do?'" He asked, being genuinely confused when he took off his scary green mask.

     "He did it again, he grabbed my butt!" She huffed and Charlotte handed her a towel to clean off.

         "Total accident!" He defended.
"Really? You did it four times!"
"It's not my fault. I don't know what I'm grabbing when your wig is my face!"
They argued with each other.

        "Maybe we should wrap it up for today." Charlotte suggested to the 11 year old boy.

         Zach shook his head and snatched the coffee cup from Jasper. "Fine. But tomorrow morning, you better know your scene." He warned with a cold look before he entered inside the house again.

    Thea rolled her eyes. "I don't even know how I even got dragged into this." She grumbled and Jasper began blow drying her wig. "Why can't Charlotte play Princess Vera?!" She yelled over the noise.

      Charlotte shook her head. "I'd rather go down in a plane crash."

     "What?!"
"I said I'd rather go—"
"Sorry, I can't hear you!"
"No!"
"No, what?!"
"JUST FORGET IT!"
"OKAY!"

        Jasper stopped blowing drying Thea's wig before he began combing it. "Thea, your hair is so crusty." He commented.

      "Well, thank the Lord. That this isn't my real hair." She spoke in sarcasm.

     Then Henry had noticed the news was playing inside Thea's living room. "Hey guys, something's happening on the news." He informed and walked inside the house as the others followed after him.
