CHAPTER 4
I Don't Wanna Be Like Cinderella
Prince Wally (Wally) was dancing with every girl in Cleveland. He was trying to find the love of his life, but none of the girls were right. King Nigel saw this. Then She came.
When her eyes met Prince Wally's, they knew it was love at first sight. They danced to some pop/rock music. It was really a sight to see! She and Prince Wally were flipping and swirling and twirling and… well, you get the picture. She was having so much fun, she forgot about everything.
When she went for some punch, the monkey said, "I forgot to tell you! We must leave before the magic ends!" So she ran out of there immediately! The Prince saw this, and ran after her! She was on the staircase when her Rainbow Monkey split in two! She didn't notice. She put on her jetpack and flew away. As soon as she reached home, the magic ended.
"The magic is gone," she said.
Hoagie the guard (Hoagie) found the other half of the Rainbow Monkey. He showed it to Prince Wally. Wally saw that on the half he found (the green half), there was a little bit of orange!
"I vow that I shall not stop searching until I've found my queen!" said the Prince. So he went on a search for his princess. Now, all the orange Rainbow Monkeys in the world had vanished. No one but Kukirella had an orange part of a Rainbow Monkey. Shriek realized this and locked Kukirella in her room. The prince arrived at their house.
Shriek took Kukirella's Rainbow Monkey half, and gave it to Brat-Face! The prince asked Bowling ball if she had an orange half.
"I don't have an orange half!" screamed Bowling Ball. "And if I did, I would never marry a Prince as ugly as you!" Everyone gasped.
"Knights!" yelled the Prince. "Take her to the dungeon!"
"NOOO!" screamed Bowling Ball. "It all dirty in there!" Then he asked Brat-Face if she had an orange half.
"Yes, I do!" said Brat-Face. "It's right here!" The prince examined it. The orange half fit in with the green half!
In Kukirella's room, she was crying. Then she got an idea. She ordered the hamsters to gnaw on the lock. It didn't work!
"Wait a minute," said Kukirella. "That was supposed to work!" The prince married Brat-Face, and they lived happily ever after. Kukirella started crying again. "I was supposed to marry Wally! That was my orange half!" she sobbed. "If this is how a fairy-tale really ends, then I don't want a fairy-tale life!"
"Well, look what we've got here girl," said Jazzmother Abby. "I see you've learned what really happens in fairy-tales. If you want, I can send you back where you belong."
"Please!" said Kukirella. "Let me go back to where Wally isn't married to Brat-Face!"
"I am your friend!" said Jazzmother Abby. "Of course I'll send you back! Everyone's been missing you so much! Especially Numbuh 4! Last night, he looked out the window, and wished on a shooting star that you would come back!"
"Take me home!" said Numbuh 3. Her wish was granted. All of the sudden, she was back in her room. "I'm back!" she said. She heard Numbuh 5 talking to Numbuh 4. She said that Numbuh 3 was back. Numbuh 3 went into the hall to see Wally.
"I'm not going to let you fool me again!" said Numbuh 4.
"Fool you about what?" said Numbuh 3. Numbuh 4's eyes opened wide.
"Numbuh 3?" he asked. "Is that really you?" She nodded her head. He ran over to her, and burst into tears. "I've missed you so much! It's just not the same around here without you!"
"I've missed you too!" she said. "In that horrible fairy-tale, you married Brat-Face-I mean Mushi! The fairy-tales we read, are not the real fairy-tale! They always end with the main character being miserable! I also learned something in there."
"What?" asked Numbuh 4.
"This," said Numbuh 3. Then she set up a stage, with lights, and music. Then she sang on a blue stage with blue lights:
"When I was just a little girl
My momma used to tuck me into bed
And she'd read me a story
It always was about a Princess in distress
And how a guy would save her and end up with the glory
I'd lie in bed and think about the person that I want to be
Then one day I realized the fairy-tale life wasn't for me
I don't wanna be like Cinderella
Sittin' in a dark old dusty cellar
Waiting for somebody, to come and set me free
I don't wanna be like Snow White waiting
For a handsome prince to come and save me
On a horse of white, unless we're riding side by side
Don't wanna depend on no one else
I'd rather rescue myself
Someday I'm gonna find someone who wants my soul, heart, mind
Who's not afraid to show that he loves me
Somebody who will understand I'm happy just the way I am
Don't need nobody taking care of me
I will be there him just as strong as he will be there for me
When I give myself then it has got to be, and equal thing
I don't wanna be like Cinderella
Sittin' in a dark old dusty cellar
Waiting for somebody, to come and set me free
I don't wanna be like Snow White waiting
For a handsome prince to come and save me
On a horse of white, unless we're riding side by side
Don't wanna depend on no one else
I'd rather rescue myself
I can slay, my own dragons
I can dream, my own dreams
My knight in shining armor is me
So I'm gonna set me free!
I don't wanna be like Cinderella
Sittin' in a dark old dusty cellar
Waiting for somebody, to come and set me free
I don't wanna be like Snow White waiting
For a handsome prince to come and save me
On a horse of white, unless we're riding side by side
Don't wanna depend on no one else
I'd rather rescue myself
I don't wanna be like Cinderella
Sittin' in a dark old dusty cellar
Waiting for somebody, to come and set me free
I don't wanna be like Snow White waiting
For a handsome prince to come and save me
On a horse of white, unless we're riding side by side
Don't wanna depend on no one else
I'd rather rescue myself
I don't wanna be like Cinderella
Sittin' in a dark old dusty cellar
Waiting for somebody, to come and set me free
I don't wanna be like Snow White waiting
For a handsome prince to come and save me
On a horse of white, unless we're riding side by side
Don't wanna depend on no one else
I'd rather rescue myself
In the end, Numbuh 3 grew up to be a fairy-taleologist. It means she grew up to be a person that reveals the true fairy-tales. She married Wally, had kids, told them the real stories, they told their kids, who told their kids, etc. Numbuh 3 was now satisfied.
