Summary: What if Princess Mia was cursed with the obedience spell from Ella Enchanted? She must find a way to break the curse and at the same time find out something terrible about the man she thinks she loves. Movie-based on both accounts.

Mia Thermopolis had been your typical infant. She cried, she laughed, she ate and she slept. Her mother, Helen, loved her very much, as did her mother's best friend Amanda. One day, they went to see the magic show of a friend of Amanda's.

Amanda nearly swore when she saw who was the opening act in the show. "It's the 'great' Lucinda!" she motioned quotation marks around the word 'great.' When Helen looked puzzled, Amanda elaborated. "She's supposed to do real magic."

"Like with the help of evil spirits?" Helen asked.

"Yeah. And she hates children, so Mia had better keep quiet."

At these words, Mia began to scream. It was in the middle of Lucinda's masterpiece, and she dropped the fishtank containing a small alligator that she'd been levitating to the stage. She zeroed in on Mia, who was unfortunately in the third row. She jumped off the stage, completely oblivious to the animal control officers trying to catch the alligator and not to slip on the glass-filled puddle.

"Little girl—" Lucinda approached Mia, who was crying. "You must stop crying!" Helen scooped Mia out of her carrier and tried to calm her. Mia would have none of it. "That's it!" Lucinda cried. "Mia Thermopolis, you now have obedience."

Lucinda suddenly smiled. "Go to sleep!" she commanded. Mia was asleep instantly. Helen and Amanda were horrified with this turn of events. "Police!" someone cried. Police officers were summoned quickly, but not quick enough to catch Lucinda. She had evaporated into thin air!
