Hello, I'm Little Red Riding Hood, formally known as Little Red, or Miss Hood. Lately, things have been oh so quiet. I still see the Wolf around but I've decided to ignore him the best I can till further notice. My dear granny has gotten quite better as well, so I have had more time to myself. I enjoy going into town and have made many friends in this quaint little area down the bunny trail. I discovered this village on my way through the forest, and fell in love with it. I am now residing in my quiet estate just East of the main plaza, though it gets less quiet with all my rambunctious friends.

The first friends I met on the bunny trail were of course, rabbits. Peter Rabbit, and his three sisters Flopsy, Mopsy and Cottontail. (In that order) They were odd fellows, as big as me. Sure gave me a warm welcome, didn't they. Well the girls did, and Peter sure made me feel "special".

Once I exited the tiny path, the world opened up again, suddenly, to a wide, green field. There were pasturing sheep every-where, I sure hope no wolves come out. There was a young girl around, about my age, in a light pink dress. She carried a staff and tended the sheep so delicately; she seemed to care of nothing else. I, being myself, shouted after her, only to frighten some sheep, but she was so sweet she forgave me. Her name is Little Bo Peep, ha! Kind of like Little Red…

Just north of the city, I met up with my high-on-the-horse brother. You see, I come from a thin line of royalty. My brother's name is Artie, but everyone calls him the quote, un-quote: Handsome Prince. And of course, every prince needs a princess. That's where Rapunzel comes in. With a Z. OH they're so funny! You see, the king thinks that no prince is good enough for his daughter, but they are truly in love! What a cliché!

On the west side of town I met a hen named Henny Penny. She was quite enthusiastic if you ask me. Definitely. She's not a very good dancer and every time you mention the sky, Fall, or say the word 'is' she will scream, in your face, "THE SKY IS FALLING" I don't know why she is so hung up on that, but I will find out. I'm good at things like that. Prying things out of people with puppy dog eyes, begging, crying, etc.

South of town, there is a bridge. A TROLL BRIDGE. So now I have to pay to go south of town! You can never pass over the bridge without getting a headache, 'cause Troll man is always yelling at that goat with the hillbilly voice, and he's yelling back! Little Billy Goat Gruff is his name. So many animals down the bunny trail aren't there? But otherwise he's pretty sweet, though it is hard to understand his accent sometimes.

The dear old man in town is Mr. Rip Van Winkle. What a sleepy fellow. Can't stay awake for more than 5 minutes, unlike me, where it seems to take me YEARS to fall asleep. You would think I would always be tired with the sleep I get but you get used to it. I'd rather be asleep in the forest rather than my own bed, but I don't think I could with Peter Rabbit around. Anyway, I don't have much to say about Mr. Winkle. He's considerate at least.

Also, near the edge of town is Miss Mary Contrary and her beloved garden. She won't even let me near it. If I step towards it while she's raking she yells "GET AWAY FROM MY GARDEN!" in this weird accent I can't even identify. Someone should stand up to her contrary-ness. It might even be me who does! If she yells at me, and steals my basket one more time I ought to slug her!

I'm glad I moved here. For the most part. It'll be an adventure for sure…

XOXO~Little Red Riding Hood
