Chapter 7 Operation rescue Sugar Plum
Dawn and Sunny hid at Bog King's castle for the night to avoid getting caught by Roland and his cronies. The sugar plum fairy kept up the illusion of the clones of Dawn, Sunny and herself running around causing a wild goose chase for Roland and one of his cronies. As Roland was running through the dark forest he tripped over his unconscious cronie that Dawn managed to knock out. "Wake up why are you on the ground?" Roland questioned him. The cronie answered, "Princess Dawn has a good left hook just like your bride to be." Roland couldn't believe what he just heard and said, "I can't believe you got knocked out by the hopeless romantic who settled for a Elf. Get up now the princess, the elf and sugar plum are running around. We have to catch them!" demanded Roland as he didn't even bother to help his cronie up from the ground and ask if he was ok which annoyed the cronie very much.
Hiding in the trees Sugar Plum kept making magical clones of herself, Sunny and Dawn and sent them all over the dark forest. "I've been doing this all night. I wonder if those three idiots have gotten tired? I know I'm tired myself" Sugar Plum thought to herself. When one of Roland's cronies managed to catch the Sunny clone it turned into sparkles causing confusion. "Did I kill the ELF!?" cried the cronie. "No you moron. It's a clone made by that blasted Sugar Plum Fairy. She must have made a bunch of them to distract us. We wasted a whole night and most of the morning chasing after nothing!" Roland stated angrily. "From what I know about the Sugar Plum Fairy if she makes these magical clones she can't be too far so look for the real one." Sugar Plum overheard what Roland said and decided to flee while she could doing her best not to be noticed. By accident Sugar Plum bumped into another tree as she was making her escape. Unfortunately Roland's cronies noticed Sugar Plum flying off and managed to capture her. "LET ME GO!" screamed Sugar Plum. "Not a chance. You, the elf and Princess Dawn know too much and if you tell Marianne what I've done my plans will be ruined and I'll never be king and get my army" Roland pointed out. "Where are Dawn and the elf? I know they were with you." Sugar Plum said, "I don't know where they are and even if I did I wouldn't dare betray my friends."
Roland ordered his cronies to take Sugar Plum to the palace dungeon as he and his cronies went back to the palace. "What about Princess Dawn and The Elf? Marianne is going to notice that they're missing" one of the cronies pointed out. As mad as Roland was when his cronie said that he knew he was right. "For all we know those two are beyond lost in this forest so who cares?! Besides I have my wedding to get ready for if I'm going to be the next king with Marianne as my queen I'll finally get everything I rightfully deserve" Roland pointed out. Sugar Plum didn't believe Roland deserved anything as she continued to struggle in the grips of Roland's cronies who were starting to have doubts. Unknowing to them some of the Bog King's subjects were hiding and ran back to the castle to report back to the Bog King on what they saw and heard. When Bog King learned that Sugar Plum had been captured he told Dawn and Sunny and that moment they knew it was time to begin putting their plan into action.
Roland's two cronies put the Sugar Plum Fairy in the dungeon and locked the door. "You two know what Roland is doing is wrong. Erasing Marianne's memories, tricking her to marry him and keeping her away from the person she is meant to be with. What's just as bad is that Roland treats you both like crap and yet you two still follow his orders. Also I wonder if he even knows your names" Sugar Plum said to Roland's cronies which made them think about everything they've done and recalled that Roland never referred to each of them by their names. As the cronies were thinking things over Roland came to the dungeon and told his cronies the wedding was going to happen sooner than expected. "Boys I plan on marrying Marianne tonight since I convinced my bride to be we should be married the sooner the better which made her happy" said Roland. "What about her family? I doubt Marianne would get married without her sister and father there" said one of his cronies. "True but the fairy king is still away on royal business and Princess Dawn hasn't been found which is why Sugar Plum here is going to create magical clones of Marianne's family unless she wants to spend the rest of her life in the dungeon while her house is left unprotected" warned Roland. "You stay away from my home!" growled Sugar Plum. "Well if you don't want anything bad to happen to your home then I'm going to need you to whip up magical clones of Marianne's family and the elf" Roland told Sugar Plum and with no choice the Sugar Plum Fairy did what Roland wanted. "At least Marianne will be happy to have her family for the wedding."
Roland took the clones with him and began preparing for the wedding. Bog, Dawn, Sunny and some of Bog's subjects snuck into the fairy kingdom without being noticed. "I know of a secret door to sneak into the castle" said Dawn as she led everyone to it. "How long have you known about this?" asked Sunny. "All my life. Marianne and I used to sneak out of the castle when we were kids" answered Dawn as they all went through a tunnel. Dawn checked to see if the close was cleared and it was since none of the servants were around. "We'll hide out in my room until it's time for the wedding. That's when we'll crash it and stop Roland from marrying my sister and that's when Bog will break the spell with true love's kiss" Stated Dawn. "Are you sure we can do this? What if it doesn't work?" questioned Bog as he started to doubt himself. "Hey it's going to work. Have faith and soon my sister will be in your arms again" Dawn assured Bog which gave me a little bit of hope.
As soon as Dawn opened her bedroom door she saw the Dawn and Sunny clone getting ready for the wedding. "It's the real Dawn and Sunny along with the Bog King get them!" said the Dawn clone to the Sunny clone. Bog and his subjects fought off the clones turning them into sparkles. "Dawn and Sunny I believe Sugar Plum was forced by Roland to make those clones of you to most likely trick Marianne into thinking they're you" Bog pointed out as everyone agreed with him. "We have to save Sugar Plum but where is she being held?" questioned Sunny. "Most likely the castle's dungeon but who is going to bust her out?" said Dawn. "I'll do it," offered Sunny. "I'm small so I can go places undetected so it shouldn't be hard for me to do it." Dawn didn't like the idea of Sunny risking his safety because she was afraid he would get captured. "Dawn it's ok. Besides, Roland thinks we're lost in the dark forest and that you and I are the magical clones the Sugar Plum Fairy created. It will be ok trust me" Sunny assured Dawn. "Ok Sunny go rescue Sugar Plum but be safe" Dawn said with a worried tone in her voice.
Dawn told Sunny how to get to the dungeon and a few of Bog's subjects offered to go with Sunny because they believed they're strength in numbers. Sunny accepted their help and off they went to the dungeon. As soon as Sunny and his helpers got to the dungeon they saw where Sugar Plum was locked up and went to her cell. Sugar Plum saw Sunny and Bog's subjects when all of a sudden Roland's two cronies came from out of nowhere. "We're prepared to fight you right guys?" Sunny asked Bog's subjects and nodded yes. "Hold it we don't want to fight. We want to help and to prove it we're releasing the Sugar Plum Fairy" said one of the cronies as he took out the keys and unlocked Sugar Plum's jail cell. Sunny and Bog's subjects were surprised and asked, "Why are you helping us?" The other cronie answered, "because we now see what Roland is doing is wrong. We should have known from the start and we want to make it right. On top of that we're sick of Roland treating us poorly, bossing us around and being such a huge jerk. He doesn't even call us by our names which we told him when we first started working for him what our names are."
Sunny and Bog's subjects felt sorry for them and thanked them for helping out along with asking them their names. After Sugar Plum was set free they all went back to Dawn's room. Dawn was surprised to see them and thought their cover was blown. "No it's ok Dawn. They're here to help because John and Steve are sick of how Roland has been treating them" Sunny explained. "It's true they even set me free willingly" Sugar Plum exclaimed. "Well it's nice to know they're on our side and learning what their names are which I didn't know until now" said Dawn as she filled in John and Steve on the plan who were more than willing to help put a stop to Roland and his plan to marry Marianne once and for all.
Author's Note: I know in the movie Strange Magic the two cronies that work for Roland weren't given names so I gave them two random names I could think of. Please stay tune for my next update. Peace out from Princesspeach102 and please stay safe out there during this hard time.
