Jasmine was tapping her pencil as her eyebrows were knitted in thought. "I didn't think it would be this hard to come up with a haiku."
Pocahontas placed a hand on Jasmine's shoulder and smiled. "I'm sure you can do it."
Jasmine smiled back and got back to work.
"Hello, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome back! This time it's…Hooray for Haikus! Each contestant has written a haiku of her own, and it's up to a guest judge, that's right, a guest judge, to determine which one is best. Let's begin!"
After Mic finished speaking, Nala walked center stage and recited hers.
My husband Simba
Is the proud king of Pride Rock
For now and always
Rapunzel closed her eyes, smiled, and took her turn.
The floating lanterns
That light up my kingdom's skies
Bring joy to my heart
Tiana was next in line.
The lovely bayou
Is where a great adventure
Took place in my life
Pocahontas inhaled and exhaled.
My people and John's
Are at peace with each other
Therefore I am glad
Jasmine sounded excited.
My good friend Genie
Is so much fun to be with
He's energetic
Esmeralda took the spotlight.
Within Notre Dame
Once you reach the bell tower
You'll find my dear friend
Aurora gracefully walked forward.
I lived in the woods
Until my sixteenth birthday
When I returned home
Cinderella opened her notebook.
I went to a ball
I returned home at midnight
I wished I could stay
Meg marched in next.
My hero is strong
There's no one like Hercules
What is not to like?
Ariel came through the curtain.
I'm part of a world
That I have always dreamed of
From a long time past
Mulan began reciting.
My dragon Mushu
Aided me through my rough times
For that I'm grateful
Sally timidly walked forward.
The Pumpkin King Jack
Brought the wonders of Christmas
To Halloween Town
Giselle twirled into place.
My home in New York
Is the place my loved ones are
I belong with them
Kida followed her.
The Shepherd's Journal
Guided him to my homeland
Milo is my love
Belle finished with her haiku.
You've heard the story
It's our tale as old as time
It is one we share
"Okay, now it's time to reveal who our guest judge is!" Mic began. "She is from the upcoming Pixar movie Brave! That's right, I'm talking about…Princess Merida!"
The Scottish princess took her place at the judge's stand. "Thank you. The prize one of you will receive is…an early viewing of my movie!"
All of the contestants smiled excitedly.
"I honestly loved all of your haikus. But I pick Esmeralda's as the winner."
Esmeralda walked up to Merida and shook her hand.
"Unfortunately, I have to eliminate someone too. I'm sorry, but I pick Cinderella."
Cinderella walked up to Mic and spoke. "No worries, Merida. I had a great time. I would like to spend time with you sometime."
"Well, that's all for this round folks!" Mic concluded. "See ya later!"
A/N: Sorry, guys. I know I take a long time to update. It's just that it's kinda hard for me to come up with new rounds for the competition. I hate writer's block. :( Anyway, I included Merida because I really am looking forward to seeing her movie and I wanted to include her in this fic somehow.
