The Crown Princess snuck down the hallway stealthily. Well, it seemed she was sneaking steathily, as steathily as a five year old can. It included much giggling to herself as she moved along, checking at corners to make sure no one would see her.
When she reached her destination, she quickly pushed open the door and scampered inside. She made sure the door was closed quietly behind her before turning towards her prize with delight. Within moments, she was elbows deep into her secret pleasure.
However, the secret was not to stay secret for long. Unbeknownst to the Crown Princess, she had chosen the exact wrong time to be dabbling in this room. In the middle of her playtime, the door opened behind her and she was caught redhanded. She was caught in the act by her mother, of course. This was a matter of luck for our plucky Princess though. It could've been worse. it could've been her father.
With a quiet laugh, her mother came over to where she was sitting in the middle of the room and proceeded to ask quietly, "So is this a party for one, or can anyone join in?"
To which the Croiwn Princess replied, quite seriously in return. "I don't know, you're awfully clean."
Her mother smiled and reached down. She wiped a dripping spot of brightly colored paint off her daughter and proceeded to wipe it down the side of her face.
"How about now?"
The Crown Princess nodded wisely (or so she thought she was). "Perfect, Mommy."
The two proceeded to continue playing together.
Some time later, the Prince Consort had decided to check in on his daughter and nearly had a heart attack when she wasn't in her bed. (It was hours past her bedtime after all). Luckily, the not so stealthy princess had been seen by several guards on her way down the hall.
He opened the door to the room she was seen heading in and stopped in the doorway. There was his daughter all right. She was sitting in her mother's lap. Both of them were covered head to toe in multicolored paints. In fact, the floor of the room appeared to be covered in paint as well. Shaking his head, he looked at the two heads of dark hair that turned towards him. A set of bright blue eyes and a set of glowing lavender eyes looked up at him as he surveyed the room.
"Dora Lavender Gale, it is past your bedtime. I think it's time to clean up."
"What about Mommy?" Dora replied sadly.
"Mommy too."
He went to move into the room, but was stopped by the sudden exclamation from both of his girls.
"Stop!"
He looked at the floor, there were painted patterns all over it, radiating out from the pair in the centre of the room.
"Don't disturb my circles, Daddy!"
