The pirate princess

Chapter 1: waiting for pirate charming!

Ashley's P.O.V

My name is Princess Ashley Elizabeth Augustus, but please call me Ashley, my uncle is King George Augustus, ruler of Great Britain, king of the holy roman empire- blah, blah, blah. My father was his brother but he passed away as did my mother who died giving birth to me. So my uncle took me in, but he barely ever looked at me or talked to me. In fact I live in the high, middle tower of the castle and I stay there all the time in my bedroom. Servants bring me my meals and my only company is toys and books from my childhood.

But before my father died he told me one day when I'm older I'd meet my prince charming and he'd come to my rescue and take me to his castle. And I believed him and waited for him as I sat on my balcony overlooking the castle courtyard. Sometimes I found even sing to my dolls as I read from my fairy tale book my father gave me…

(AN: song is "I know it's today" from Shrek the musical. check it out on YouTube!)

6 year old Ashley:

"Settle in girls, it's Storytime!"

There's a princess in a tower, oh my gosh, that's just like me! Poor Rapunzel, needs a haircut, but the witch won't set her free. She passes time by singing, like someone else I know, as years go by she sits and waits- wait! Years go by! Uh oh! Tortuous existence, I don't remember this part, she wishes she was dead! Skip ahead! Skip ahead! ~sighs~ but in the end Rapunzel finds a millionaire, the prince is good at climbing and braiding golden hair!

So I know he'll appear because there are rules and there are scriptures. I believe the story books I read by candle-light, my white knight and his steed, will look just like these pictures. It won't be long now I guarantee! Day number …23. I know it's today, I know it's today!

10 year old Ashley:

"Oh here's a good one! It's a classic!"

there's a princess in a coma, glad it's her instead of me ;) pretty maiden in a glass box, how I wonder does she pee? Blah, blah, blah, poison apple! Boring, boring evil queen! Filler, filler been there read that! Seven shorties on the scene! Skip ahead! Skip ahead! But in the end the princess wakes up with a start, the prince is good at kissing and melting snow white's heart!

So I know he'll appear and his armor will be blinding as shiny as his perfect teeth and manly pose. He'll propose on one knee and our bring up will be binding! About time we set a wedding date! Day number… 958! I know it's today! He'll show up today!

16 year old Ashley:

pick a princess! Any princess! Take your pick, there all like me not exactly I'm still waiting there out living happily! Ever after better get here, I want love in seconds flat, no one needs these middle bits (rip's page) whoops! Did I do that? (Continues to rip pages) cut the villains! Cut the vamping! Cut this fairy tale! Cut the peril and the pitfalls! Cut the puppet and the whale! Cut the monsters! Cut the curses! Keep the intro! Cut the verses! And the waiting, the waiting, the waiting, the waiting, THE WAITING!

But I know he'll appear, though I seem a bit bi-polar and I'm a vandal now as well. Hope he won't mind, I'm a find, I'm a catch and a very gifted bowler! It won't be long now I guarantee! Day number- are you there god? It's me Ashley, it's me Ashley! Now I know he'll appear because there are rule and there are scriptures, I believe the story books I read by candle light! My white night and his steed, will look just like these pictures! It won't be long now I guarantee! Day number…8,423.

AN: so what do you think? Jacks coming in chapter 2!
