We all know the story of the duck who became a girl and a princess to restore the heart of the prince she so cared for. We all also know that this story has come to its climax and conclusion, or has it?
Drosselmeyer's time in this story has also come to an end and he has set of with little Uzura to find a new story to have a little fun with. He came across an old, dusty, forgotten library filled with thousands of different tales. He then decided he would be content to spend some here, wandering through these other stories with Uzura in tow. It had been doing a fine job of entertaining him, he had especially enjoyed his time in that fellow Shakespeare's plays, Romeo and Juliet was magnificently, tragically, delightful! He had just finished his time in hamlet and was walking around the library looking for a new book to dive into when he realized that Uzura was not annoyingly banging on that drum of hers. He was sure she had come out of the story with him just a moment ago where could she have gotten to? He wandered around a bit but still no sign of the little puppet. Sure she was annoying with her constantly hitting that drum and always asking so many questions. But he had to admit she had grown on him, he would miss her company if she stayed missing, yet he had no idea where to look for her. He sighed heavily and sat down at one of the desks lining the spaces between all the bookcases full of books. Suddenly he noticed the book sitting on the table, that's odd he thought, I didn't leave this here, did I? He thrummed through the book which was a delightful tale about a little town where a girl who was merely a duck fought to return the pieces of the prince's heart to him. Drosselmeyer paused, confused, he had not written of those tales, only tried to spin them. And failed, he remembered irritated, they lived happily ever after and that's no fun! He checked to see who the author was and was even more confused when he found none. "Interesting maybe this is where young Uzura has wandered off to." It's at least worth a look Drosselmeyer decided, opening the book and being sucked in. oh I do hope you are in here Uzura he thought as he glided down into the story. As Drosselmeyer materialized within the story he realized that instead of appearing in gold crown town he was back in his world of gears and clockwork. He was surprised to notice that the gears were still spinning. "That's odd" he said. The story has come to a close, theses should have stopped a while ago. Upon closer inspection he realized that the gears were turning backwards! "Ah so little Uzura is at it again" he chuckled, heading for the crank at the bottom of his world. He was right, there was Uzura gleefully turning the crank round and round. "Now, now, Uzura didn't you learn your lesson last time?" Drosselmeyer clucked, picking her up and moving her away from the crank. "It's still going, zura!" Uzura gasped, pointing to the crank which was indeed spinning of its own accord. Finally the crank slowed and came to a stop. "Come Uzura, let us go see what you have done to this story" Drosselmeyer sighed while tugging Uzura along to go take a look. He came to the spinning gear that was a mirror into the story and was confused to see, a baby? But that is what the gear showed, a mother holding her newly born child, laying in a bed with a girl of about 2 leaning over towards her. Drosselmeyer took a closer look at this baby with her big, blue eyes lined with thick lashes and her reddish orange tuft of hair on the top of her head, one stand already sticking out above the others. "Meet your new little sister Dove, her name is Duck" the woman said smiling towards the small girl leaning onto the bed. This girl was as said earlier around 2 with the same big blue eyes lined with the same thick lashes. She had hair similar to mythos, so light it looked white, which fell in beautiful ringlet curls around her head with the same strand of hair that stuck out of the top of her head. "What, this cannot be, duck is not a duck and this other girl I didn't create her! The story is taking on a whole new life!" Drosselmeyer gasped. Suddenly the story went on fast forward, showing the girls grow up until they entered the very ballet school which had started it all and then slowed to a stop before continuing to move at normal pace. Drosselmeyer was intrigued to notice that Duck still wore the very pendant that had once changed her from a duck to a girl to princess tutu. "So is she still to become princess tutu?" Drosselmeyer wondered "and what of this new girl, Dove, what is to become of her? This could prove to be interesting, I think I will stay a while to see how this story once old unfolds anew." Drosselmeyer contemplated while taking a seat in his oh so familiar rocking chair and asking Uzura to fetch him a cup of tea.
