Bedtime Stories with Theo

Chapter 1

Once upon a time there was a noble prince. He had a large Royal family that went on and on for decades! He was the next heir to the throne. But he had a problem. He didn't like being the prince. After lots and lots of thinking. The prince decided he was actually a princess! She was much more comfortable with being called princess. But. The problem was. She had to be the next heir to the throne. And she didn't know how to tell the king and queen she was a princess. So she decided to set up a plan! She talked with some of the people in the palace and they all went to a very secret meeting. This secret meeting was to use magic to change her into a princess that she was. But first they needed to find a witch to help them. One of the cooks spoke up "I know where to find one. Follow me" they all went with them and went to an enchanted forest. This particular enchanted forest was forbidden to anyone in the kingdom. But that didn't stop them. They went further and further into the woods. The princess and the others got scared. One of the maids spoke up "maybe we should go back home" she said nervously. But the cook shook their head and kept walking. They had no choice but to follow. It was after dark and the shadows scared the princess. They were cautious of their every move. Suddenly the cook stopped. The princess accidentally bumped into them. "shhhh" they hissed. The group was completely silent, scared to make a move. Suddenly the cook called out into the woods "ally ally oop!!" they hollered. The princess got so scared as rustling was heard surrounding them. A small little witch popped out from the bushes. She yawned. "You called?" She was surprisingly nonthreatening and calm. If anything, she was annoyed to be awake. The cook whispered to the witch. The princess looked confused and curious as to what they were saying. The witch muttered and nodded. "Right this way" she said and invited them into her cottage. The witch turned on a light and motioned for them to sit at the table. They had no choice but to comply. The princess was still a little nervous. She didnt know what was going on. The witch went over to her kitchen. She came back out with a giant tea pot. "Tea anyone?" The princess shrugged and took some. But she was the only one to. All of the sudden, she felt a little queasy. She looked down and her body was changing! Her fingers became more slender and delicate. Her shoulders became less wide. Her jaw line became softer. She smiled and looked in the mirror. She looked like a true princess! She thanked the witch 10 times over. "Yeah yeah. It's no problem. Now get out before I call the wolves." The princess couldn't tell if she was kidding or not. She didnt want to stick around to know. The group followed to cook back out of the enchanted forest. They went back and snuck back into the palace. The next morning, the princess went to the king and queen and explained what happened the night before. The king and queen exchanged glances. They looked back to the princess and smiled. "We'll always love you. No matter what. You're our perfect princess." And the family lived happily ever after. The end!
