A/N: Hi everyone! It's me, Tara Burgundy here with another chapter for y'all! :D I know it's been almost over 2 weeks since I last posted a chapter, but I got busy last week and didn't really have time to write this chapter. So, here it is this weekend instead! I think for compensation, I might write and post another chapter this week or next weekend instead of my typical once every two weeks schedule. I hope that it was not too much of an inconvenience because I really do enjoy writing this every week, and I hope that you all continue to stay on this journey with me! :D Anyways, please read this, review to let me know what you think, and please please enjoy!

P.S.: I wanted to do a few little tidbits of some of the Brady kids' thoughts about the mission they have received, so there will be paragraphs will alternating points of view. Just keep that in mind :)


While the Brady kids were definitely still shell shocked at the information Becky had given them, they reluctantly let her lead them off to the kingdom in the distance. It was reluctant because they still were not sure if they were dreaming or if it was real life.

All of the kids were each occupied with their own thoughs about what Becky had meant by the fact that they needed courage. They all knew that they had been hearing that word a whole lot lately, but to hear it spoken by one of Cindy's dolls who somehow knew everything about their recent lives was surprising to say the least.

Now, there was also that added pressure of having to save a kingdom in vile danger. None of them even had any idea what that meant. They did not even know where they were for god's sake! Not to mention if the place that they were in was even real to begin with. The whole thing was just a giant pot of confusion.

Meanwhile, Becky was still leading them all towards the outline of the castle they could see just past the horizon beyond. She was growing even further into her new tour guide persona. She could tell from the kids' expressions that they were still in deep thought and pondering what she had said. She was glad that they were, too. Maybe giving them something extra to think about would be just what they needed to regain some of their courage. It sure would help them get over the things they were all going through right now.


Marcia was thinking about everything that had happened to her and her siblings so far in this short amount of time since they had gotten home from school.

She had no idea that day that she would end up in some sort of kingdom that was a mix between reality and a dreamland. She was just intent on getting some hair curlers to impress her crush, Adam. She had no idea she would end up here. She did not even know where here was.

Not to mention, she had no idea what their apparent guide Becky was talking about. Sure, she had seen her around sitting in Cindy's dresser, but she just wondered why she knew everything that had been happening with her and Adam.

She tried to convince herself that she was just imagining things, but there was so much to convince her otherwise.

For one thing, all of her siblings were also here; she thought she might just be imagining them too, but there was no way that all of those things that Becky was saying about them were not true. She knew how they were all feeling about needing courage in their lives; they had already had that conversation.


Meanwhile, Bobby was also walking alonside Becky as she led them away to the kingdom.

While all of his other siblings were worrying themselves wondering what was going on, he was just intent on getting to have an adventure. They were going to slay a real dragon!

To be honest, he did not really care where they were or what was going on. He was just thrilled with the whole excitement of it all. And boy, what a story this would make.

He just hoped that it was real so that he could finally live his life out like some of those knights in armor from movies he had seen. If it was true, then he finally would have a story to tell for his assignment at school.

If he had as interesting of a story as slaying a dragon and saving a kingdom and village, then he would have nothing to worry about in terms of reciting a mere speech to the class. They would all be too intent on hearing his story to make him feel nervous.

So, that is why he was so focused on pestering Becky with questions about everything.

"Where are we going?"

"Are we there yet?"

"Where is the dragon?"

"Are we going to meet knights?"

He gave up with the questions after noticing that Becky was too focused on walking him and his siblings over to the kingdom to pay attention to the influx of questions pouring out of him.


One could say that Cindy Brady was the most confused and at the same time the most informed out of all the Brady kids at that moment.

Although she had just as no idea about what was going on, she also knew a bit more about the things around them.

Firstly, she knew Becky. While most of her siblings had seen Becky around the house, she was the only one who knew about her. As silly as it may sound, she sometimes saw Becky as her largest confidant, telling her things that might have been bothering her almost as if she were a real person.

Secondly, Cindy also had a feeling that she recognized the place they were at. This was not the first time she felt that way, but she was even more sure of it now: they were somehow inside of her story book.

There were many reasons why she thought this. For one, the scenery around them matched the exact same as that of her book. Even the caricature ways that her and her siblings all looked like now matched the ways that the characters in her fairy tale story book were all illustrated.

What made this whole mystery thicken even more was the fact that she first found Becky sitting on top of that same fairy tale story book when she first got the two of them.

That whole thing made her think that maybe they were both magical. She had already read her fair share of stories with magic in them to know that maybe what she was thinking wasn't so far fetched after all.


Finally, after what seemed like so long of a time of walking, the Bradys finally arrived at the distant kingdom's castle, all led by Becky.

The first thing that they all noticed was that everyone else in the village/kingdom also looked the same animated way that all of them seemed to be looking.

The second thing they all noticed was how almost all of the buildings looked kind of run down and destructed. In more than one case, there was still some smoke billowing out of a building that looked like it was just freshly damaged by the supposed dragon's firebreathing.

"Let's go meet the king and queen now," Becky announced to the still confused Brady kids.

A/N: that's it for this chapter, folks! Please stay tuned for the next one which should be coming way sooner than last time. Please review, and thanks for reading! :D
