Red Shoes & the 7 Dwarfs

Chapter 22: Heroic Duty

It was a bright and sunny day when Arthur found himself flying around on his magical broom when he noticed the silhouette of a woman standing on a beach on the outskirts of King White's kingdom.

"Good morn my fair lady. Fine day to go out on a walk eh?" Arthur nodded his head as the woman with a white parasol covering her head and neck; her light pink dress swaying in the breeze as the red ribbon around her waist too flowed with the breeze. She had long toned legs with a pair of hot pink high-heeled shoes.

"Hmm?" The woman turned to reveal she had a fish head with bright blue eyes and shiny silver scales.

"Ahh!" Arthur was stunned as he shrank back and managed to move his flying broom to the side as he flew away in terror.

"Hmm?" The woman with a fish head looked away as she shrugged and continued walking, staring out at the ocean with a longing in her eyes.

Not too far away down the beach, the Fairy Princess laid out her towel and umbrella.

"Ahh." She laid back as she snapped her fingers and held up a cool glass of iced tea with berries as she put her sunglasses on. She then put her drink down as she double snapped her fingers as a chair and fishing pole with bait on the end appeared.

"Alright, let's see what's gonna bite my fishing line today." She smiled as she stood in order to throw the line out deep into the sea as she waited. The Fairy Princess sat down as she kicked her legs back, allowing her fishing pole to rest against her chair.

"This is the life." She sighed as she rested her eyes when suddenly her fishing pole began to move.

"I got something!?" The Fairy Princess stood up, took hold her fishing pole and began to real it in slowly, then allowing some slack.

"Come on, come on little fishy fishy." She continued to reel her line in as she grimaced.

"So heavy." The Fairy Princess managed to finally real the line in as she gasped.

"What the heck!?" The Fairy Princess' eyes shot open as she grunted when water splashed on her face.

"Finally! I've been floating around for ages! I'm so pruney. Now, get me out of here you goblin witch, goblin? Wait, what are you?" Prince Average spit out a small fish.

"Ugh! Disgusting!" The Fairy Princess cringed as she threw Prince Average aside.

"How rude! Do you know who I am?" Prince Average asked.

"Annoying?" The Fairy Princess raised a brow as he groaned, rolling his eyes.

"No! I am Prince Average!"

"Oh, well, that's nice . . . I suppose." The Fairy Princess shrugged.

"Ugh! Just, shew! You've caused me enough trouble." Prince Average waved his hand.

"But I saved you, and I was relaxing here!" The Fairy Princess grumbled as she fisted her hands.

"Shew!" Prince Average shouted as he took the hook out of his pants.

"Not again!" The Fairy Princess rose up with her hands fisted as a pair of glimmering green wings formed on her back.

"If outer beauty is all you see, then you clearly lack the sight of inner beauty. For this you Prince Average shall pay dearly. I curse you here and evermore. You shall appear to be what you are on the inside: self-centered, obtuse, narcissistic, sexist, and ignorant. Whenever people look at you, they will see you for what you truly are!" She was enveloped in a green light as she outstretched her hands and a puff of green smoke appeared before Prince Average, turning him into a little green monster.
