Dear P.C.,
Who are you? How do I know I can trust you? Anyway, like I have a really big problem. I have like 2 sisters (well, step-sisters, really) and we don't get along too well. They are so mean to me! All I ask is that they like help me with my chores 'cuz my doctor says I'm like delicate and all. But instead, they pick on me and make me wash my own clothes and clean my room! Do you know what that is like doing to my nails? I plan to marry the prince someday, and I can't be a princess with nails like these! Anyway, I can't stand it anymore! Like, what should I do?
Sincerely,
Mistreated
Beauty
Dear Mistreated Beauty,
My identity is of no consequence to you. I think your step-sisters have a point in making you do your work. Everyone needs to be able to take care of themselves, and no sane guy is going to marry a girl who cares only about her nails... get a life...
P.C.
Dear P.C.,
I think my stepmother is trying to kill me…
Sincerely,
Endangered
princess
Dear Endangered princess,
Pack up your things and run into the forest or something! I hope you didn't really need me to tell that...

Dear P.C.,
I have a step-daughter who is so lazy! All she does is eat and stare at herself in the mirror. If I ever try to get her to do some work, she threatens to call the Fairy police on me and report child abuse. She believes she's going to be a princess someday and "princesses don't have to work" according to her. I'm getting fed up with her!
Sincerely,
Frustrated
step-mother
Dear Frustrated sep-mother,
Send the bum to boot camp or something. Or better yet, kick her out!
P.C.
Dear P.C.,
Unfortunately, I can't do that. I promised her father on his deathbed that I'll look after her till she gets married.
Sincerely,
Frustrated
step-mother
Dear P.C.,
I met this beastly, arrogant young man who refused to provide me shelter in a storm and because of him my favorite wand got ruined in the rain! He makes me so mad and I want to make him pay for it!
Sincerely,
Fairy-in-disguise
Dear Fairy-in-disguise,
You said he was beastly, right? Well, turn him into a beast or something…. And maybe you should get yourself a water-proof wand…
P.C.
Dear P.C.,
I've always been the most beautiful woman in the entire Eldon Kingdom but my stupid step-daughter thinks she can take my place! I planned to eliminate my competition (if she can even be considered competition!) but for some reason, she has disappeared.
Sincerely,
Beauty
Queen
Dear Beauty Queen,
I don't think you and your step-daughter have a healthy relationship. You seem to be suffering from jealousy and the best way to overcome this green-eyed monster is to admit your problem and come to the realization that you aren't the most beautiful person in the world. Either that or drop dead, psycho.
P.C.
Dear P.C.,
You insolent fool! I'll send my henchmen after you! -----------------------
Sincerely,
Beauty
Queen
Dear Readers,

Note: I'm curious to see if anyone can figure out who P.C. is. If you do...I don't know, I'll thing of something!
