Day Three: Gaming/Watching a Movie

Their teacher had told the class that she had a special treat for all of them that day. Sitting on the play mat with Madeline, Gilbert ran a little red fire truck back and forth. "What d'you think the s'prise is?" he asked, looking at his friend. Was she going to give them cookies or cupcakes? That would be awesome!

Madeline shrugged, building a garage out of blocks for Gilbert to park the fire truck in, once he finished saving the house she'd made a few minutes ago. Their teacher had been very vague on the subject, only telling them that it was something they would really enjoy. "…Can you hand me a red block?" she asked, receiving an absentminded nod and one of several blocks sitting to Gilbert's left.

She was interrupted as she was putting the block in place when the teacher stood up out of her chair and clapped her hands twice. "Alright, kids! Come sit on the story mat! It's time for the special treat!

Gilbert leapt to his feet, nearly toppling the structure Madeline had been building. She sent him an exasperated look, but he was already gone, plunking himself down beside his friend Francis on the story mat. She frowned, then stood up and followed after him, clutching the skirt of her long dress and lifting it a bit as she sat cross-legged beside him, draping it across her legs.

Their teacher went over to the door and pulled in a big TV on a rolling cart, and all of the children gasped and cheered excitedly. "D'you see that, Princess Madeline?" Gilbert exclaimed, grabbing onto one of her arms. "We're goin'a watch a movie!" He grinned widely, and she nodded and smiled back in return. Turning to face the teacher again, he called out, "What're we watching? Somethin' cool? Right? What is it? What are we watchin'?"

Laughing, the teacher motioned for him to sit back down, turning on the TV and sliding a DVD into the player. Once the kids had settled down again, she stated, 'We're going to be watching Rapunzel."

Madeline felt her smile widen, and she seized Gilbert's arm happily. Rapunzel was one of her favorite movies! She tilted her face to look up at him, and he gave her his usual wide grin. "What? You like this movie? I never saw it! Is it good? It must be good if Princess Madeline likes it!"

The teacher shushed them again. "You have to be quiet during the movie, okay? If you're good, we can watch another movie soon."

The kids quieted down, and the movie began to play. Gilbert was enraptured from the beginning; thieves and guards on horseback, chasing each other through the forest. Beside him, Madeline was practically bouncing with excitement, eyes wide as she watched. Rapunzel reminded him of Madeline immediately. Her long, pretty blonde hair (but Princess Madeline's wasn't that long!), her big smile, and even her dress was the same! If he had ever needed proof that Madeline was a princess, here it was.

As the movie progressed, he and Madeline found themselves leaning on each other, Madeline giggling whenever he made a silly joke about it. The more he thought about it, the more Rapunzel reminded him of her. Hadn't Madeline's crown been stolen by pirates last year? It was almost like the movie! But if Madeline was Princess Rapunzel, then what did that make him? Not Flynn! He was a nice guy, but he was a thief! Gilbert wasn't a thief. Gilbert was a knight, he decided with a nod. But as he watched his best friend smile and laugh at the movie, Gilbert realized that he didn't want to be a knight.

He wanted to be a prince.

Rapunzel because Maddie kind of reminds me of her? IDK. And if you've read Kindergarten Princess, then you'll know all about the long dresses and the icky Francis and the "Princess" and Gil wanting to be a prince. If not, well...I'll probably explain them later, too. XD
