In The Kingdom Of BSB Chapter 10 *While all of this turmoil is going on, the rest of the palace is preparing for the celebration* *Little did they know the troubles that were occuring up in the higher part of the castle and in the woods* *King Robert was on his quest to find the dragon and instead came upon a mysterious cabin* *He goes to the door, knocks, but no one is home. Like any other curious person would, he goes in and notices a child on the floor. He looks sick and dirty.* King Robert: What’s wrong little boy? Boy: I’m hungry. King Robert: Do your parents live here? Boy: No sir. I never had any parents. Some old lady took me in but she ran off two days ago. *sniffle* King Robert: What a pity. Would you like to come back with me to the palace? Boy: *eyes light up* The palace! You mean that big place beyond the woods??? King Robert: I sure do. Boy: What are you, a king or something? King Robert: I am a king indeed young one. Want to go? Boy: YEAH! *they set off and the boy is anxious for a Christmas at a castle* Boy (singing): I wanna see a princess, a prince, a queen, already got my king, presents, fireworks, a fat ham oink oink, dragons, knights, sword fights, a chicken... King Robert (interrupts): A chicken? Boy: Yeah why not? King Robert: You’re funny. Say, do you have a name? Boy: Not that I know of, the old lady just called me her youngin’. King Robert: That’s funny too. Ok sorry. Want to have a real name? Boy: Oh boy! A real name given to me by a real king! This is awesome! King Robert: How does Aaron sound? Boy: A whole lot better than youngin’ *laugh* Boy, now Aaron *singing*: I gotta name, I gotta name, I gotta name, hey hey hey hey! *they keep going back to the castle, King Robert completely forgetting about the dragon and the boy, I mean Aaron, singing along the way*Princess Tammi: Where are we? Sheepherder Howie: I have no idea. Princess Tammi: I thought AJ said sheepherders like you have a good sense of direction. Sheepherder Howie: Why would we need a good sense of direction. All I do is stand around in the field all day watching the sheep. Princess Tammi: I’m gonna kill that guy. Sheepherder Howie: Look now, how about we call off this search, or at least postpone it until after Christmas. Princess Tammi: I suppose so. Wouldn’t want to ruin Christmas for everyone at the palace. Let’s go home, I mean to the castle. Sheepherder Howie: Good choice.Prince Nick: Come on now. Don’t cry. It’s gonna be ok. Don’t worry about your dad. He’s smart enough to know that waging war isn’t going to get him more money or even more land. That reflects on his daughter. Princess Samantha *sob*: I hope you’re right. Now I look like an idiot. Prince Nick: Never, now let’s go down and see how the decorations are coming. Princess Samantha: Thanks for everything. Oh how I love Christmas!*Elf Brian and Prince Kevin are helping some of the servant girls trim the huge tree* Prince Kevin: Hello gals. Need some help? Rita: We’d be glad to have your company. Mari: Yes it’s nice of you. Elf Brian: Anything to help. *they start putting the ornaments on* Elf Brian: How long have you two been working here? Rita: Two years for me. It’s nice to work in a place like this. Sure beats working with my folks on the farm. Mari: Oh easy for you to say. I’ve been working here ever since I was old enough to carry a pot, but I have to admit, Christmas time here is one of the most beautiful things in the world. Prince Kevin: Sounds like it’s going to be fun. Elf Brian: Yeah can’t wait. Rita: Oh it will be worth you’re staying here. Mari: Yep, I agree. Elf Brian: Thank you ladies for chatting with us. See you tonight. Rita: Ditto. Mari: Goodbye. Prince Kevin: See ya.*Now everyone is back and Princess Tammi explained that her family went on a trip somewhere and had to return, which no one objects to* *That night was spectacular. Lights filled the night air and illuminated the sky with rays of all colors imaginable. Everyone sang Christmas carols around the bonfire and sipped cups of hot cocoa. The king even had a firework show to cap off the night. Magic AJ even succeeded in doing a magic trick, although the children in the palace were the only ones that saw Old Saint Nick flying high in the sky with Rudolph leading the way. Everyone forgot their problems and spirits were joyous and merry; the perfect Christmas.* Prince Nick: Look Samantha we’re under the mistletoe. Princess Samantha: Merry Christmas Nick. *the two shared in a kiss, then looked at the night sky lost in it’s beauty*AWWWW HOW SWEET! WHAT WILL HAPPEN AFTER THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT WEARS OFF? |
