Chapter 3 Tricking the sugar plum fairy & spell casting
After the two fairy cronies left they decided to get each of the ingredients needed separately to get the job done faster. "Why do I have to go into the dark forest to get the smelly fungus? Why can't you go?" asked one of the cronies to the other. "Because I know my way around the palace garden including the location of where the forget me nots grow. Also I think you can find the smelly fungus faster than I can" answered the other cronie. The first cronie took what the second cronie said as a complement and flew off to the dark forest. "I think I got the easier task since I didn't want to go into the dark forest" the first cronie thought to himself as he lied to his friend about the real reason why he didn't want to go. The first fairy cronie snuck into the palace garden without being seen but got himself a bit lost. When he turned around a corner he saw Princess Dawn and her boyfriend Sunny the Elf running around the garden. "Try to catch me Sunny" Dawn called out as Sunny ran right behind her. Sunny then had an idea and hid somewhere that Dawn wouldn't find him.
Dawn started to look for Sunny when she didn't hear him running after her. "Gotcha!" Sunny exclaimed as he popped out of his hiding spot, grabbed Dawn and started tickling her. Dawn was giggling while trying to escape from Sunny's tickle attack by tickling Sunny back making them giggle like crazy. The cronie who was watching them smiled to himself and remembered his mission to find forget me not flowers. As sneaky and quietly as possible he snuck away so that Dawn and Sunny didn't spot him as he found the forget me not flowers not too far from where the couple are. While gathering the forget me not flowers in a sac the cronie accidently stepped on a small pile of twigs that surprisingly Dawn and Sunny heard. "Did you hear that? I don't think we're alone" Sunny pointed out as he and Dawn went to investigate. The fairy cronie hid in some bushes as he didn't want to be spotted by one of the princesses and by Sunny who he feared would alert the royal guards or the fairy king himself. As soon as the close was clear the cronie made his escape. As for the other fairy cronie who went to the dark forest to look for the smelly fungus it wasn't easy for him because he didn't want to get spotted by the bog king or his minions as he quickly escaped before anyone could find him.
Roland's two cronies met up with each other before leaving to meet Roland at his secret hideout. "Did you two get what was needed and were you spotted?" Roland asked. The cronies gave Roland the smelly fungus and the forget me not flowers and informed him that neither of them were spotted. "Good to hear now if you excuse me I'm going to see the sugar plum fairy" Roland said before he flew away and headed to the sugar plum fairy's house. As Roland continued to fly off he couldn't help but think about his plan as he smiled to himself. As soon as Roland spotted the house where the sugar plum fairy lives and knocked on her door. As soon as the sugar plum fairy opened the door she asked, "Aren't you the guy that got punched by Marianne after you tried to use the love potion on her?" With a grumpy look on his face Roland answered, "Yeah that's me and sugar plum fairy I need your help." The sugar plum fairy looked at him and laughed as she said, "Why in the world would I help you? It was your stupid idea to trick Sunny the elf into getting a primrose pedal and have me make the love potion for your stupid plan that failed. The only good out of that whole ordeal was finally being set free after the bog king imprisoned me for years when the love potion didn't work on the first creature he once loved before Marianne."
Roland didn't realize that his plan to have the sugar plum fairy make the potion to cast the memory erasing spell would be harder than he thought. Then Roland got an idea and said, "I know you think very ill of me just like Marianne and everyone else but please I need a spell to help me forget about everything including what was the first thing I saw and fell in love with when the love potion affected me." When the sugar plum fairy heard Roland mention the first thing he fell in love with due to the effects of the love potion she asked, "If you don't mind me asking who or what did you fall in love with because of the love potion?" At first Roland didn't want to answer the sugar plum fairy's question because he was deeply embarrassed but Roland sucked it up and answered, "It was a really ugly looking insect which I ended up kissing." When the sugar plum fairy heard his answer she laughed even harder at the thought of Roland kissing an insect. "That's too funny," laughed the sugar plum fairy. "I get it you find it hilarious but please help me forget and if possible anyone else who knows" begged Roland on his knees. "Fine but only because I find you the world's biggest idiot but I need a forget me not flower and a really smelly fungus since I'm out of those so come back when you have them" said the sugar plum fairy. "Way ahead of you" exclaimed Roland as he handed the sugar plum fairy what she requested for on the spot.
The sugar plum fairy was both pleased and surprised that Roland came prepared with what she just told him what was needed. With a wave of her hands and some magic words the potion to cast the memory erasing spell was ready. "Ok Roland here is what you have to do. Just sprinkle this on yourself and won't remember falling in love with an insect. As for casting it through a wider range you would need to throw it in some clouds on a day before it rains. Either way you need to say what or who you want to forget in order for the spell to work. Is that understood?" The sugar plum fairy instructed Roland. "Crystal clear and may I say you are very lovely" Roland winked. "Not interested" exclaimed the sugar plum fairy as she watched Roland leave her home. After Roland left he flew off and told his cronies that his mission was successful. "I got what I needed now I'm going to cast the spell on the entire kingdom except for myself and I guess you two since you always do what I tell you" Roland told his two cronies as one of them asked, "How are we going to avoid the memory erasing spell?" Roland instructed his cronies to stay indoors while it rained which is when he was going to cast the spell making the potion spread across the kingdoms.
Before casting the spell Roland checked to see if Marianne was outside and she was since Marianne normally practices sword fighting outside. "Soon my Marianne you'll be mine again and forget about that ugly creature that you're in love with" Roland thought to himself as poured some of the potion into a rain cloud and said, "I want everyone who is outside to forget about my past deeds and Marianne to forget about the bog king that way she'll still be madly in love with me again and marry me." As soon as Roland chanted what he desired it started to rain and anyone who was outside while it was raining Roland hoped were affected by the memory erasing spell. When Roland flew to Marianne's palace she welcomed him with open arms. "Roland baby why are you out in the rain? Come inside where you can dry off" Marianne said unaware that she has been spelled. "Thank you my Marianne and may I say I can't wait until our wedding day. We just need to set a date but tell me my dear where is your family?" Roland said. "My father is away on royal business and I don't know where Dawn went off to" replied Marianne as she sat next to Roland on the love seat. Roland was very pleased to see that the memory erasing spell worked and didn't think anything could cause his plan to backfire on him.
