The Brainless Beauty

Once upon a time there was a beautiful princess who had a gorgeous kingdom. Her name was May. The princess loved to take walks in her garden, which was filled with all sorts of exotic plants and flowers. One day she strode over to the royal duck pond and sat down on the small moss covered stone bench under the old willow that shadowed part of the pond. All of a sudden, a little spotted green frog jumped out of the water and sat itself down on a lily pad very close to the bank of the pond. The princess, having read about enchanted princes before, decided she wanted a nice royal boyfriend, so she grabbed the frog and planted a big smooch an its wet and slimy forehead.

The frog struggled and wiggled to no avail, the princess had it trapped between her dainty fingers. When nothing happened to the frog, She hurled it back into the water and watched as it landed in the water with a satisfying "Splash!" Little did she know that that particular frog was the son of the evil toad witch, Warta! Warta was really, really, really mad when her darling green baby came back with bruises and a lipstick mark, so she cast a spell on May and her entire castle that made them all fall asleep and still stay the same no matter what they were doing. The princess, who was making her bed at the time, tipped over and landed on the bed in a graceful position (princess' always have to be graceful), her dark brown curls breaking free of her crown and tumbling onto the bed. She would stay like that for a long, long time.

A hundred and fifty years later, when Warta had lived out her short life and most of the residents of the kingdom had either died or forgotten about the snoring nobles, something unexpected happened. The first alarm clock was invented. It was made by fairies and was so extremely loud that they kept it locked up in a room that would protect the magic item until people's hearing got worse. What they didn't know, however, was that a big rat lived in the wall and could reach the magic alarm clock. One day the rat stole the clock and took it to the old castle (which was its secret junk stash) which was by now completely covered in a thorny yet beautiful golden rose bush that had escaped the princess's severely overgrown garden.

The rat stashed the alarm clock under May's bed but, being a clumsy rat, accidentally hit the "test alarm" button, turning it on. Being magic and all, it woke the princess up in just two seconds. She sat up in bed and rubbed her half closed green eyes, then found the alarm clock then wondered "what in the world is this thing? And why am I in bed?" All over the castle, the sleeping courtiers had awakened and greeted each other, then started relating to each other the dreams they'd had. The princess May descended the royal staircase on the now-moldy-royal carpet and curtsied to her court, who thought she still looked pretty clueless about the spell. Meanwhile, in the land of Erly, Prince Brett saddled his horse and prepared to ride to Snor (where May was) to take a royal vacation.

The Prince of Erly had a very short trip, since Erly was only seven leagues away from Snor. He'd heard that the weeds there were terribly numerous, so he brought a Weed Whacker to keep them at bay. When he got there, a few hours later, he saw the gigantic thorn bush and decided to test out his Weed Whacker. He started it up and chopped all the thorns, then walked around the piles of roses and into the crumbling, unsafe, and no-longer-lovely castle. Prince Brett saw Princess May immediately, since she was the only one there who was trying to be graceful, and walked over to her. "I'm pleased to meet such a fair maiden," said he, "what is your name, sweet lass?"

"The Princess May, sir, what is your title?" The princess replied, then curtsied shyly. " I am called Prince Brett, of the land of Erly." replied Brett, "and I come seeking a vacation." He smiled at her. It was love at first sight. Princess May liked admiring Prince Brett's sharp features, a big nose, reddish-brown hair, and warm brown eyes, handsome to her. Just two months later, the lovebirds had a royal wedding and went on their honeymoon to happily.

In the Perfekt Kingdom, five years later, Prince Charming got his steed ready and rode off to Snor, to find his sleeping bride (as instructed in the "How to be Prince Charming" manual). He rode for two days, and then reached the outskirts of the Snor kingdom, where he got off his horse and looked for the thorn bush he was supposed to cut down. It wasn't there. Feeling very confused; he mounted his horse again and rode to the castle, where he went in to discover that everyone was awake already. Had someone else broken the spell? Prince Charming walked to the princess's room's balcony and called for his love, "My love, I've come at last to rescue you!" he cried.

A pretty maiden who looked about his age came out. "Are you the princess?" he inquired. "No, I'm not" she said "I'm her cousin, the Princess April." "Oh, can you tell me where the Princess May is? I need to marry her." Said the prince, trying to explain "My cousin already has a husband and ten kids, all of whom are spoiled so badly I can't bear to be around them." The princess told him.

"Oh, um, I guess I was a little late then" he let out an embarrassed laugh. "Well, I don't want to have to go back to Perfekt without a beautiful bride; say, are you married?" "Me?! Well, I, no, I'm single!" she blurted out really ungracefully. "Great! Will you marry me?' The Prince asked. She agreed and they were married in three days at the Perfekt wedding chapel, holding each other's hands and as happy as could be. A few years later, the royal nurse was caring for two young and well-behaved royal children, June and Charming Jr. Since then, everybody (except for the princess and prince with ten spoiled kids) has lived happily ever after.
