Red Shoes & the 7 Dwarfs

Chapter 3: Prince Average

At Prince Average's castle.

"Who is coming to my birthday party? Has Ariel RSVPed?" The average looking prince with blond hair, blue eyes, and a fair complexion asked his two guards who'd just come back from delivering all the invitations sent across Fairytale Island.

"She says she can't make it sir; she has to wax her legs." One of them replied.

"But she's a mermaid! What about Sleeping Beauty?" Prince Average gritted his teeth as he sat back in his large chair positioned behind his colossal desk.

"Doctor's appointment." The other guard answered.

"Is she sick?" Prince Average asked with little to no concern.

"Said she has insomnia." The first guard answered.

"Well if she's not sleeping, then she could at least come to my birthday party!" Prince Average said, clearly outraged.

"What about Rapunzel? And don't tell me she's getting her hair done!"

"Nope, has something called a book." The second guard had to think for a moment on what a book was.

"Princess Cruise?" Prince Average leaned forward and placed his hands together as he began going over lists of every princess he could think of.
"That's a ship sir." The first guard responded quickly.

"Princess Leia?" Average was beginning to run out of princesses.
"She's General Leia now." The second guard responded.

"I demand glorious guests! I couldn't be anymore unpopular! And I don't understand why!!" Prince Average was beginning to mope.

"Greetings Prince Average." Regina appeared in the elevator as the two guards and Prince Average looked at her in surprise.
"It's pronounced Ah-vu-rahge." Prince Average corrected.

"Sure it is." Regina began walking towards him slowly.

"If you're here for the 'We Love Our Peasants Give Away,' that motion has ended. Grab your wrinkles and go." Prince Average motioned for his guards to take the woman away, but she slipped between their hands like a misty fog, disappearing and reappearing closer to Prince Average who appeared horrified and began trembling.

"Do you think the people would respect you if you celebrated your birthday party with a beautiful woman on your arm?"

"Finally! Someone who is talking sense. This horrible croon gets it!" Prince Average rudely pointed at Regina as she swallowed her pride and continued to coax Prince Average.

"Then may I suggest you invite this young woman to your birthday party." Regina pulled out a drawing of Red Shoes. Prince Average gasped as he beheld her beauty; his heart stopped upon gazing at her face. He wanted her. He needed her to belong to him. She would not only boost his popularity amid the royals and people within Fairytale Island, but she too would make the perfect queen for his kingdom.

"She's perfect! She's beautiful! When can she get here?" He beseeched.

"Well that's up to you, you see she's stolen something very precious from me! You find her, bring her along with you, and you won't look like such a loser, and I'll get my shoes back." Regina's face twisted in rage as Prince Average cringed, noticing more wrinkles on her face, like a topographical map of Fairytale Island.

"Fear not, loyal hag, I Prince Average shall bring the gorgeous fugitive and make her pay for her crimes: by making her come to my birthday party!" Prince Average leapt up gracefully onto his desk as he made heroic gestures before jumping down and strutting to his elevator and left with his two guards.

"Hah, that was almost too easy." Regina rolled her eyes as she began to cackle.

"Andif he doesn't do this for me, I'll find other ways to lure her in." Reginalifted her hand as she teleported back to her castle.
