A Bad School Day Part 2

"THAT'S RIGHT... ALAN NEEDS ME BY HIS SIDE AS PRINCESS AURORA TO HIS PRINCE PHILLIP," Anne sobbed now hugging Alan not wishing to let go of him. "INSTEAD OF THAT TACKY DRESSER, TRUDY GOLDSTEIN!"

"Well at least they got the right couple to play the lovebirds!" Stanley laughed.

The other Chan children joined in with Stanley to laugh at Alan getting the part of the cursed prince all but Henry & Anne that is.

Suzie, Mimi, & Nancy even made kissing noises behind Alan's back as he carried his windbreaker & his backpack up to his bedroom thus slamming his bedroom door behind him.

"So Anne," Suzie laughed. "you got the witch am I right?"

Anne just simply began sobbing all the harder as James Louis spoke up for his still sobbing girlfriend.

"Worse than the witch... Sheila is Trudy's understudy for the part of the princess... just as I am Alan's understudy for the part of the prince," James answered in a soft whisper. "she's also the prompter for the show just like I am the stage manager."

"But Anne never gets stage fright." Rosa Chan observed.

"That is right," Anne protested. "that is so the reason why I deserve to play the part of the princess instead of Trudy Goldstein!"

"Great job Anne!" Charlie Chan cheered.

"That's the way to talk!" Rosa cheered to Anne.

"Thank you everyone," Anne said. "now I shall go straight to Alan's bedroom so as to cheer him up."

Anne went straight up the many many many staircases all the way up to Alan's bedroom as she heard Stanley snickering from below.

"That Alan is just like Princess Aurora," Anne heard Stanley laugh. "Alan looks like he's comatose within his sleep!"

"Except for that horrendous somniloquy!" Anne heard Tom laugh.

I don't believe them, Anne thought angrily her blood now boiling. how could they! How could they simply make fun of their own brother like that!

Anne then made it all the way to Alan's bedroom.

Alan's bedroom door was open a crack so that meant that Anne could hear very faint sobbing coming from the bed where Alan slept every night.

Even a few hours later into the night, Anne was still watching Alan who had now cried all the tears he needed to cry as he was now safe & sound in dreamland.
