I know, I'm focusing on this story a lot but I can't help it. Every song I hear, every film show or short film I watch gives me new ideas to add on. You have no idea how big this story is! Not to mention each girl is different. One reason I made them human was to make them different. Adoption, midgets, disabled, religion, overweight, race, fate, poor, rich, age, what makes a leader a leader? and soooooo much more! I'm extremely determined to make this story the BEST out of all my ideas!
Jp - If you say so. I knew you liked Zac Effron so it only made scenes to give you a song from him.
T.G - Well I'm glad you think so because Anna is actually based on my little sister.
Rebey - well when this was made for mlp, the two characters Jp and I play were suppose to be love interest. So you may get a bit of a romance feel but keep in mind, I was 11 and Jp was 19 during that chapter… he's a bit over my age don't you think.
Just Kathy - I'm glad you love the story so far and thanks for mentioning the mistake. I'll see what I can do to fix it. And yes Jp is the leader because he owns the sho shop.
mlpfanceline1 - I was actually watching mlp while writing the chapter so I had to get that reference in there. Instead of pancakes I used pillows because…. Well…. You are correct about the young six, In episode 1 of season 8 Ocellus seems to like pillows. The reason it represents them is because when this was for mlp, I gave the young six a role in the story but when I changed it to Trolls, I couldn't let go of their roles. I loved their roles so much that I had to make up new names to keep their roles….. Oh!
And I will be uploading a mlp version of this story. It won't take long. Like 1 hour really. I just need to edit it. So if your fan of mlp then keep an eye out for the mlp version. You'll see a lot of similarities but differences as well.
In the castle
An elder looking lady with an elegant black and white dress slammed opened the giant doors. Inside it revealed a series of beds, each holding a sleeping princess.
"Awe, don't they just look peaceful," The lady cooed from the sight.
"Oh yes your highness, very peaceful," a T.G ran to her side. He held a clipboard and a feathered pen. He was known as the queens right hand man now. He did everything she wanted him to do. Even if it meant he had to step out of his comfort zone.
"I hate it!" The queen pushed her right hand man into the room," Tall prancing llama take care of them will you?"
"Actually, my name is Tapdancing Giraf," the man corrected her. The queen couldn't care less. She shoved a gong into his arms and pushed him away.
"Your parents were idiots for naming you that," She spat out before clapping her hands as loud as she can," Wake up my little princesses!"
All the girls started moaning from exhaustion.
"5 more minutes," a girl with light brown hair pleaded before throwing the covers over her.
"Sorry Princess Poppy, but Queen Chef wants you up and addams," Tapdancing Giraf slowly pulled the covers off her, careful not to startle the girl.
"Oooh, but I was dreaming about a boy," a blond hair girl mumbled with a smile.
"Maddy!" Queen Chef pulled the pillow from beneath her head and threw it over her head," How dare you dream such things!"
"What?" Mandy complaint as she slowly got up.
"Why are we up? It's still dark out," A girl with straight, raven black hair got up and tried to look around. On the bed next to her, her twin sister couldn't help giggle when she saw her sister still had her sleeping mask on.
"Here you go princess Chenille," Tapdancing Giraf politely removed her sleeping mask off revealing her violet eyes.
"Oh, thank you Tap," Chenille smiled. She then heard her sister laughing into her pillow," shut it Satin."
Chenille playfully threw her pillow over her sisters head.
"Hey," Satin grabbed the pillow and tried to throw it back at her only for Chenille to duck down. The pillow flew onto the head of another sleeping princess.
"I'm up! I'm up! I'm…." A redhead girl suddenly sat up. Her wild curly hair was all over the place and nearly covered her purple eyes. Just like all her sisters, her skin was as white as snow. Only she had light freckles sprinkled acrossed her cheeks. She looked over at Satin who pointed at the girl across from her. Wanting some revenge, the red headed girl hopped out of bed and smacked the pillow on her sister.
"HEY!" This girl had a very shockingly deep and raspy voice. If that wasn't enough, her unusually small size was quite a shock as well. She swiped her blond hair from her face and glared at her sister"Suki!"
The princess threw the pillow at her as well. Suki douged the pillow letting it hit another princess in bed
"What the…" The princess popped out of her bed," Who was that?!"
"It was her Rebey!" Smidge pointed at Suki.
The 15 year old girl glared at her before flinging her pillow at her. One by one, all the girls have woken up. Each one throwing pillows and stuffed animals at each other.
"Please! Can we have some decency!?" Chef cried out. Her only answer being a smack in the head by a pillow thrown by Rebey.
"Haha! Bullseye!" Rebey cheered.
"Heads up!" Jo cried out and threw her stuffed owl. Only her aim was way off. It missed Rebey by at least 6 feet and hit T.G who was joining in the fun. Laughing, T.G grabbed the owl and threw it back at Jo.
"I got it!" The 18 year old girl laughed and jumped up to catch her stuffed animal. The owl landed on her bed that was right next to her. But even when it was right next to her, the brown haired girl looked above her as if searching for it,"Um…. Where did it go?"
Walking through all the hits every girl was throwing, T.G made his way to her and handed her the white owl.
"It landed right next to you. Didn't you see it?" Jo took the owl and squinted her eyes to look at who was talking to her.
"Uh…. Yea. Yea I saw….. A blur zoom pass by me," Jo nervously laughed. She moved her face closer to his and tried to study his features," Umm… Bridget?"
"Nooo…. T.G," The man slowly said uncomfortably.
"Oh, right, sorry," Jo apologized.
"Every girl! Line up!" Chef ordered and blew her whistle. All the girls stopped their fun and formed a line," Roll call!"
"Harper!" the 11 year old called out.
"Rebey!" The 15 year old said.
"Jocabed!" Jo said her full name.
"Wisp!" The 18 year old said in her usual soft voice.
"Maddy!" The 19 year old called out.
"Karma!" The girl said.
"Smidge!" The small princess announced her presents.
"Satin!"
"Chenille!" The twins said in unison.
"Suki," The red haired girl yawned out. She was never a morning person and especially never liked roll call.
"Bridget!" The chubby girl was bright and addams. She was a very active girl who liked getting things done early.
"Poppy," the eldest said her name.
"Good, all 12 are here. Now, you girls know what to do. Clean your rooms, eat breakfast and start your lessons, oh, and I have a surprise for you all at breakfast," Chef commanded.
"Yes my queen," The 12 girls bowed.
"Good! Breakfast is in 1 hour, be ready and proper," Chef ordered and left the room.
"Have a wonderful morning your majesties," T.G bowed before running back to Chef.
The girls all started to clean up and get themselves ready.
"Another day, another migraine," Smidge mumbled as she tied her blond hair into a bun. She glanced over at some light blue paint for her hair. She hasn't used that in years. In fact the next morning after the pirate attack, Chef band colored hair. Saying it wasn't princess like. She tied her big pink bow and got ready to clean.
"Just another normal day," Poppy sighed. She looked out the balcony window to see Jo walking out to the balcony. She closed the glass doors and kneeled down to a prayer," Jo prays, Smidge complains, Maddy hogs the mirror….."
"I do not!" Maddy claimed as she pushed Satin aside to look at her hair in the mirror.
"Excuse me, you have your own mirror," Satin pushed Maddy off her seat and sat back down. Poppy gave a small giggle at this. She loved seeing her sisters have some kind of emotion instead of boredom.
"Where's my brush!?" Chenille looked through her drawers," Maddy!?"
"What? It's not like I take all the brushes," Maddy sat in her own chair and open her drawer to reveal 12 brushes.
"Hey! That's mine," Satin took her brush away only for Chenille to swipe it.
"No, it's mine,"
"No way, it has my initials on it," Satin showed the letters on the brush," See? S.K Satin Kendrick!"
"Actually it belongs to neither of you two. I used that brush when I released my braids to keep my hair thick and curly for the day," Maddy told her.
"So?" The twins asked.
"So, who here has naturally thick curly hair?" Maddy asked. The twins looked at one other then at the brush. The twins glanced over at Suki's bed who was back asleep with her head against the wall and her hair practicality covering her face.
"Your not the only one with a name that starts with S Satin," Smidge showed her mirror that also has an S.K on it.
"Well now I feel like an idiot," Satin tossed the brush towards Suki's bed. The brush smacked Suki back awake.
"Huh? Wha… I'm here! I'm here! Did I miss breakfast!?" Suki wiped the drool from her cheek and nearly ran out the door if it wasn't for Bridget.
"Not yet," Bridget pulled Suki into her seat and brushed out her tangled hair.
"Were you at the garden again collecting bugs?" Jo came back in.
"Yea….." Suki yawned out,"... Wisp also told me to feed the bats while I was at it."
"Suki you know you can't keep jumping the balcony every night," Poppy tried to tell her," What if Chef sees you sneaking around the garden?"
"Ah we've been here for 7 years. She never caught me," Once Bridget tied Suki's curly hair into a tri ponytail, the princess stood up, put on some silk pants and a top, " Besides, what's the worst she can do to me? Ground me? We already get locked up every night."
"True but still," Poppy prepared herself like her sisters. She couldn't help but ponder on what this new surprise their aunt had for them. She never had surprises for them. Of course not pleasant surprises.
With 30 minutes left until breakfast, the girls were cleaning their rooms by brooming and dusting.
"Ladies?" Tapdancing Giraf ( T.G for short because you have a very long name) called out. All the girls stopped their cleaning and looked over at him," The cobbler has come to deliver the shoes."
A loud gasp by the girls filled the room. They all dropped their supplies and trampled the poor man down.
"Sheesh, girls, they're just shoes," T.G struggled to get up. Near the exist, the twins stopped to look behind them.
"Just shoes?" They laughed in unison before running out with their sisters.
"Aren't they?" T.G didn't understand these girls one bit.
"Their dancing shoes," Rebey helped him up on his feet before running out after everyone.
Down the steps, Branch was making sure he had all the shoes for the girls.
"Branch! Branch!" All 12 princesses screamed in delight as they ran down the stairs. Harper was the first to reach him.
"Did you get our shoes? Did you? Did you?" The little 11 year old couldn't stop jumping up and down.
"Shoes? Was I supposed to bring shoes?" Branch playfully asked.
"Yes!" Harper laughed. Branch couldn't help but smile at the girls enthusiasm. He grabbed a chest and pulled it out. He opened it up to reveal 12 beautiful dancing shoes," Oooh, pretty."
"These are yours," Branch handed Harper a pair of silky blue ballerina shoes. Branch could see the little girl's eyes light up with joy when she received them," You like them?"
"Yes," Harper squealed. She ran off with the shoes tightly held against her chest. One by one, all the princesses received their shoes.
"Beautiful shoes Branch, as always," Poppy commented him as she admired her pink shoes inside the chest.
"Thank you your highness. I'm sure you'll be pleased with the results," Branch politely smiled as he handed them to her.
"You know, seeing you every month is the one day the girls and I feel actual joy," Poppy returned the smile.
"Because I bring you girls your shoes," Branch assumed. He shut the chest and threw it back into the cart.
"No… or well, yes…. In fact aunt Chef would kill us if she found out we ordered dancing shoes. No dancing allowed she says…. but… there's just something about you that really brings a smile to our faces," as Poppy said this she can feel a faint blush form against her cheeks. Branch shyly looked down at the ground and scratched the back of his neck.
"That's very kind of you to say your highness,"
"You know you don't have to keep calling me that. Just call me Poppy," The princess insisted.
"Yes but I thought since the proposal this morning I might as well," Branch answered.
"Proposal?" Poppy tilted her head in confusion," What proposal?"
Branches eyes widen from fear and shock.
"You haven't heard?" Branch asked only confusing the girl more," I….. I gotta go."
"Branch?!" Poppy tried to understand was going on but the raven haired boy packed up his things as fast as possible," What's going on?"
"Y….. You'll see sooner or later," with that Branch hopped onto his cart and commanded the horses to pull it away.
"Branch wait!" Poppy called out to him one more time but he was gone faster than she can blink," What does he mean I'll see sooner or later?"
Breakfast time
"A BALL!?" All the princesses gasped in delight.
"Yes, a ball," Chef nodded her head. All the princesses were indeed surprised in a good way.
"A ball! Oh how magnificent!" Satin clapped her hands in joy.
"Dancing? Singing? Music!? Oh aunt Chef! I thought…."
"Music is indeed banned but for a special accusation such as this, I thought I let you girls have some fun," Chef interrupted Chenille. She then glanced to Poppy who was also jumping at the edge of her seat," which is why I let you girls order those dancing shoes you wanted."
"You knew?" Harper gasped.
"I am the queen. I know everything that goes on around here," Chef answered. She then went back to eating before making another comment," Also Harper has yet to take hers off."
The 12 girls looked under the table to see it was true. The little girl still wore her dark blue slippers with a little paint brush charm on them.
"Opps," Harper blushed in embarrassment.
"I guess we can't get anything past you," Poppy sighed at the fact that they weren't so secretive after all.
"What is this special occasion anyway?" Suki asked suspiciously. Their aunt was a clever queen meaning she never gave anything without a cost.
"Yes, about that. I just send out a notice to the kingdom this morning before I released you from your room," Chef started to explain. All the girls mumbled to each other trying to figure out what this meant," The notice is nothing to worry about girls. Just an announcement to all the suitors out their who are interested in marriage."
"WHAT!?" All 12 girls screamed out. Smidge swallowed her slice of apple whole causing her to choke while Rebey did a spit take with her water.
"Marriage?! But….. What?!" Rebey voice cracked between her coughs.
"Not for you you Rebecca, or even for Harper. You two are still under age. But as for you ladies, you are now young adults."
"Excuse me, aunt Chef," Jo started politely," But I'm only 18 and a half. And besides, a girl isn't an official adult until she reaches the age 21."
"True yes but you should also know that with her guardian's permission, a girl can marry at any age. Rebey and Harper should be thankful that I'm not marrying them away at such a young age," Chef replied.
"I… I always thought that we would have the choice to marry or not and to who ever," Poppy told her nervously.
"Whomever," Jo corrected.
"That is only for the common blood. You ladies are of royal blood. Meaning you must marry of noble birth," Chef explained.
"That's not fair!" Smidge slammed the table with her fists causing the food to jump up and spill.
"I beg the differ," Chef snapped her fingers calling to the servants. Ocellus came running out and started cleaning up right away.
"Excuse me," Ocellus took all the spilled cups and ran back to the sink before returning to mop the spills.
"These marriages are like contracts," This caught the ears of Ocellus who was under the table cleaning with a towel. With coriuse eyes, the young girl looked at Chefs way and listened closely," If I marry you young ladies to noble birth it will strengthen my kingdom. Believe it or not my kingdom is considered very rich. Making it a target for pirates and thieves all around. With more kingdoms on my side I can worry less about them."
"I guess that makes sense," Poppy questioned herself on this. Were they doing something good if they married of noble birth?
Even after the explanation, Smidge angrily stood up and marched out of the room. Chenille was practicality in tears and followed her sister.
"I'll…. Check on them," Suki followed the two out.
"Tell your sisters that we will also be forming competitions to see who will win one of your girls hand in marriage," Chef called out to Suki before she left.
After cleaning, Ocellus ran back to the kitchen as fast as she could without drawing attention.
"We have a problem," She squeaked.
"Problem?" Sander repeated.
"Chef is marrying the girls away,"
"Marrying them away?!" Silver gasped.
"That means they'll be apart!" Ocellus added in.
"Apart?!" Anna nearly yelled.
"Yes and the ball is tomorrow night!"
"Tomorrow night!?" Sam repeated in shock.
"Sheesh, are we playing echo or something?" Gallus came in with some dishes to wash.
"Chef is gonna form competitions before the ball to see who will win a princess hand in marriage," Ocellus told them everything.
"This aint good you guys," Sander told them," If their apart Peppys plans falls apart."
"Well we're doomed," Sam threw the dishes into the sink," We'll never find that door before tomorrow night."
"There's still hope. We have at least 24 hours right?" Silver tried to keep her smile on.
"Yea but we already searched the entire castle. There is no sign of that door anywhere," Sam mumbbled.
"So that's it then," Gallus pressed his back against the wall and slid down hopelessly," We just give up?"
All six looked down in shame. They had hoped to find what they were looking for but it felt too late now. The princesses were beauties and any prince would be lucky enough to have one of them. So no doubt the there will be many men coming tomorrow.
After Breakfast
"Arranged marriage?! Why would Chef do this." Satin walked across the halls with her sisters.
"She already said it was to strengthen the kingdom," Poppy tried to think logically about this.
"Yeah right! She wants to get rid of all the heirs to the throne!" Rebey shouted," with all of us gone she gets full access to the throne!"
"Let's not get ahead of ourselves here Rebey," Bridget tried to calm her down.
"How do you think Suki, Smidge and Chenille are doing? Those three left the throne room the moment Chef announced the marriage announcement," Jo asked.
"They actually took it better than I thought they would," Poppy thought back at the scene," Out of all of us I expected them to be…. Angry at Chef."
"Well it's nice to see they took it better than all of us," Satin added in before opening the door to their room.
"I HATE MY LIIIIFE!" Suki screamed out at the top of her lungs. She was on her bed smaking the wooden area with her sword. The cuts were so deep the girls thought for sure Suki was gonna destroy her bed. In fact, She was throwing her pillows up into the air to only slice them in half.
"Stupid Chef. How DARE SHE TAKE CONTROL OF MY LIFE!" Chenille was practising her karate moves on the dummy she had. With one last scream, Chenille gave the dummy a hard punch snapping the neck and making the head come right off.
Smidge on the other hand was lifting so many weights that it was a miracle her little spine wasn't breaking in half.
"I….. Will…. NOT…. be a… prize!" Smidge screamed as she threw her weights across the room. Her sisters gasped in horror and shut the door to avoid the weights. Just in time too. A couple of Smidges weights broke down the door completely destroying it.
"Wow, they really are taking it better than I thought," Poppy comment.
"I need to go calm down," Suki stormed her way out the room. She stomped all the way down the stairs just fuming to the thought of being married away to a stranger.
"A princess must be this! A princess must say this! Oh no dear Suki a princess can't collect bugs that's disgusting!" Suki mocked her aunt.
"You collect bugs?" Ocellus was just passing by with the others.
"Yea but I only study them for awhile then I release them. I usually do it so I can hear the sounds they make. It's like music really, it makes me happy to hear them," Suki's smile was only short lived," But aunt Chef says we have to marry now."
"We heard," Sander replied," But at least you'll be married to a noble. You'll be well provided."
"Perhaps, but I don't see the point of marriage if I can't at least be happy. Believe me, Mother use to have a lot of suitors come into the castle asking for my hand in marriage. Thankfully my mother had a brain and saw all the suitors wanted was my fame and fortune."
The servant notice the princess was walking towards the garden.
"Where is pretty princess going!?" Anna blocked her way.
"I don't know, somewhere where I can be happy," Suki tried to walk around her but Sam grabbed her hand.
"Whoa there princess. Think this through,"
"I am and I'm tired of Chef locking me up every night. Telling me what a princess does and doesn't do," Suki pulled her arm away from her," You should hear her. A princess must say this, princess must marry a total stranger, it's absurd!"
Sing bold for actions
Suki
"Suitors talk of love but it's an act,
Merely meant to throw me,"
Suki walked around the servants but they kept blocking her way.
"How could someone love me when in fact
They don't know me!"
Suki walked the other way and the servants followed her.
"They want my royal treasure,
When all is said and done,
It's time for a desperate measure
So I wonder…"
She pulled open the curtains to the giant window to see nothing but a big solid castle wall.
"Why shouldn't I fly so far from here?
I know the girl I might become here,
Sad and confined and always locked behind these castle walls,"
The young six servants gathered into a group conversation
( talk )
"We can't let her….." Anna argued.
"We must…." Ocellus told her," We only have 24 hours and who says we will find that door. The best choice here is to let her leave to buy us more time."
"You sure?" Sander asked.
"Positive," Ocellus said. They all turned to the sad redhead and started a conversation.
"I don't know princess, for someone like you the outside world might be kind of overwhelming….." Sam tried to tell her.
"Is that a promise?" Suki voice was full of hope.
"I think it would do her some good," Silver said.
"You do?," Suki asked.
"Honey I've never seen someone who needed to get out more!" Silver exclaimed. Sam and Ocellus ran into the laundry room.
Sing
Silver
"Told to show devotion everyday,"
Anna
"And not second guess it,"
Suki
"If a new emotion comes my way."
The Sam and Ocellus came out with a brown cloak for her.
Sam, Silver, Anna, and Ocellus
"You suppress it,"
Suki
"What would be your suggestion?"
The servants threw the cloak over her. Gallus and Sander wrapped her with a light brown scarf and tucked in her curly hair.
Gallus
"Stand on your own two feet,"
Sander and Gallus
"And ask why a certain question keeps repeating….."
Suki
"Why shouldn't I fly so far from here?"
The group pulled her towards the backyard garden and pulled her scarf over her head to hide her face.
"I know the girl I might become here,
Follow your heart or you might end up cold and callous,"
Young six
"Love comes to those who go and find it,"
The group guided her across the garden to the very back where a tree was hanging over the wall.
"If you've a dream then stand behind it,"
Suki
"Maybe there's more beyond these castle walls,"
The servants then stood there in front of the tree waiting to help her climb the wall.
"What if I dared…."
Suki pressed her foot against Sanders and Gallus hands who pushed her up the tree.
"What if I tried?"
She sat on a branch and looked towards the castle.
"Am I prepared for what's outside,"
She couldn't turn back now. She continued to climb until she was at the top.
"Why shouldn't I fly so far from here?
Something awaits beyond these castle walls!"
She hopped onto the very top of the wall and stood on it.
Everyone
"Something waits beyond these castle walls!"
( end )
Without a second thought, Suki hopped onto another dry tree on the other side and made her way down.
"You think we should've given her money first?" Gallus thought about this plot hole.
Night time
Ocellus was just finishing up her chores in the laundry room. She couldn't help but feel sad for the princesses. Being forced to marry. If a prince answers the call them they'll have to spend a day with him.
"Something on your mind?" Sander asked the girl.
"Hmm? Yea. After helping Suki I couldn't stop thinking about the poor girls. Being forced into marriage? It isn't fair," Ocellus told him.
"Yea well lucky us, Once they leave the castle with their new husbands we'll have fewer work," Sam complained," I only helped that princess escape because that means one less princess to take care of."
"I guess….. But don't we need them all?" Silver asked.
"Yea, they are the key to saving all the kingdoms," Ocellus reminded them.
"Key or not! It's been over 7 years!" Sam angrily folded the dresses and stuffed them into the basket," Face it! We have to give up hope! We have no creativity! No freedom! Zero kindness! Everything in life is ugly!"
"There are a lot of fights in the kingdom, and lack of peace," Ocellus thought out loud.
"Exactly! We are weak little servants against a mean queen!" Sam claimed.
"As long as we have each other. And that's all that should matter right? Cooperation?" Silver tried to lighten up the mood.
"Silver, I know your a happy girl and all but face it. We live in a kingdom of despair, no happiness in any way. Not to mention we have the worst leader in history."
"Hey, we shouldn't give up hope. We need to hold onto our faith and pray that that our problems will come to a solution," Sander tried to explain.
"Faith? Hope? Please, I lost that a long time ago," Sam scoffed it off. She picked up the basket of clothing and made her way up that stairs," If hope and faith really exists, let it smite me in the face to prove it."
"ANNA FOUND SOME MORE CLOTHS!" Anna excitedly slammed open the door slamming Sam in the face and knocking her down. The girl tumbled down the stairs throwing the basket in the air. Remarkably, Sam ended at the end of the stairs with no broken bones but the basket did just land behind the short shelves that held the supplies," Opps, Anna sorry for making friend down."
Anna helped Sam back up who was in a daze.
"W…. What happened?" Sam shook her head to regain her focus.
"Great, we're gonna have to clean these again," Gallus said annoyingly at the thought of washing the dresses again.
"Where's the basket?" Ocellus asked as she placed the clothes back into the tub of water.
"Back here. Gallus help me move this?" Sander asked as he pulled onto the short shelf. It reached his chest but was still a hassle to move. In a minute the two boys moved the shelf and picked up the basket. Gallus tossed it back to Silver and went back to work. On the other hand, before Sander can push the shelf back, his blue eyes caught sight of an interesting design on the wall. It was a carved drawing small enough to hide behind the shelf.
"Sander? You helping or what?!" Gallus asked him.
"Y.. Yea but look at this!" Sander signalled for his friends to come over. Everyone gathered around and looked. It was a carved drawing but they didn't know how to identify it. There was like a shield with 12 gems on it.
"What is it?'' Sam placed a finger on a drawing of a gem on for it to move back. The kids gasped at this. It was like a button. Glancing at one another for approval, the 6 each pushed a gem like a button. In no time, the wall cracked open like a stoned door. They all took a small peek inside to see a small glowing of white.
"Um… I've worked here since I was a kid and I'm pretty sure this isn't supposed to be here," Silver gulped down some fear. Sam dug her head deeper into the mysterious room before stepping in.
"What are you doing?" Ocellus stopped her before she can go any further.
"Strange glowing cave, what do you think I'm doing," Sam asked sarcastically before walking in deeper. Everyone shrugged at one another not sure what to do. Silver happily hopped in followed by Anna then Ocellus. Sander let Gallus in first before closing the door himself.
The cave was glowing white and blue thanks to the gems that sprouted from the caves walls. The teens looked around in wonder, admiring the sight of such beauty.
"Wow," Sander gasped in amazement.
"Yea, wow. Do you think Chef knows about this place?" Gallus asked.
"Probably. She is in charge of every THING!" before Ocellus can say any more she fell into what appeared like a dark hole. Everyone looked down to see a flight of gem stairs leading down. They all ran down finding Ocellus at the bottom moaning in pain.
"Ocellus?! You alright?" Sander helped her up.
"Yea I … look!" She gasped at the sight before them. There were so many sets of staircases it would take all day to count them. Glowing bright was a floor pattern. It had a swirl design to it with 12 circles. Each circle holding a picture. Ocellus eye landed on a circle with the picture of a snow owl.
"A snow owl? Like the one Jo has," She thought out loud.
"Look, a treble note like Suki's," Silver pointed out.
"An arrow like Rebeys, a flower like Karmas!" Sander pointed out.
"A heart like Poppys," Gallus noticed hers almost right away.
"Circles each holding a picture of the girls necklace?... You guys! I think this is the door Peppy told us to find!" Silver squealed.
"If that is so then that means that our suffering is almost over. We just need to get the princesses here! But how?" Sander thought out loud. It wasn't like they had much time. They all heard footsteps coming from one of the set of stairs.
"Chef! Everyone out hurry!" Gallus rushed everyone to the first set of stairs they could find. They all ran up the stairs as fast and quietly as they can. Gallus stayed at the bottom of the stairs so he can see what Chef was doing. The queen made it down the stairs and looked around.
"Hmmm…. Could've sworn I heard voices here," Chef mumbled to herself. She walked around for a while looking at every set of stairs to make sure they were empty.
Seeing he had little time, Gallus hurried his way up the stairs. Just a couple steps up and he already tripped causing a loud thump. Chef immediately heard this and spun around to where she heard it. She glared at the set of stairs while Gallus pressed his back against the wall to keep out of her sight. Knowing someone was here, Chef made her way to where Gallus was. The boy slowly tried to make his way up but either way Chef would find him. He felt his heart start to pound against his chest and thought about all the punishments he was gonna go through. He swore he could hear his heart pound on his chest so hard that it was practically gonna burst out. With just a couple feet away, Chefs ears perked up at the sound of the clock ringing. She changed her attention to the clock that just struck midnight. Like magic, the circles in the ground began to glow. In a second, Chef walked away from Gallus and to the circles, releasing a great amount of relief from Gallus.
"This thing is gonna drive me crazy," Chef mumbled," What's the key? The secret to open this stupid door! I can't let anyone or anything out of this thing!"
"Anyone?" Galus thought to himself.
"Gallus," he heard Silvers voice whisper over to him. He looked up to see her signaling him over to hurry up. He wasted no time. He rushed over to her and caught up with the others. At the top Sander pushed open a door to a dark room that had the lights out. Once everyone was out, he shut the door closed.
"We…. We found…." Ocellus was out of breath from running up the stairs. But she didn't need to finish her sentence to feel and see the happiness in everyone's faces. They all looked at each other to see the same smile. Each one growing even wider as moments past.
"We found it!" Anna cheered. Instead of shushing her all her friends followed her lead and cheered.
"We did it! We did it!" Silver screamed in happiness.
"Haha! 7 years but we did it!" Sam cheered. She was then pulled into a hug by Anna which eventually turned into a group hug of 6. They all screamed in joy and jumped up and down. The celebration was cut short when Sam suddenly gasped.
"We found the door, but not all 12 princesses are here!" Sam silently panicked. This caused all the happy smiles to fall into a frown.
"Suki!" The entire group screamed. Out of nowhere, the lights came on. Everyone gasped and turned around to see T.G in bed. He switched on his lamp and had a expression of pure confusion.
"What are you all doing in my room?"
Guess what?! I spend so much time studying that collage finally ruined my eyes! Yes that is right! I spent hours doing computer homework and so so so so much reading online and in books that I see blurry everywhere. Welp! Could've been worse. Song is "Palace Walls" from the Aladdin Broadway.
