Shinee: A Shrek Tale will begin momentarily, don't even dare click in any other story. ^^
7 days and 17 hours later...
It was another glorious day for Jung Juri, she happily scanned the new cookbook she bought in the market. She was in the kitchen planning what would be a good meal for her granddaughters especially for Cloud. Her latest favorite granddaughter for the day. How she loved her.
"Hmm... Chicken Curry..." She muttered as she flipped the pages.
"Nana! I prefer Roasted Chicken!" Cloud called from the garden. She heard from her eonnies that Juri will cook their dinner. The distance between the garden and the kitchen is just a door away.
"What? Psssh... I want Chicken Salad!" Xero argued as she poked the frog that they caught.
"Eww! Don't listen to them Nana! I rather eat Fried Chicken!" Bit joined the argument.
"As the eldest, I have the power to choose what we will eat! Now, I want Chicken Soup!" Zyme followed up. But the truth is eventhough she is the eldest, she has no power against her dongsaengs.
"Eonnie! That's nasty! Well, as the cutest-" Sky was cut off when her siblings glared at her. "I... Uh... Fine! We are all cute but still I want to eat Chicken Barbeque! Ha!"
The 5 sisters continued their disagreement about what kind of chicken meal they will have. Jung Juri however was shaking her head; it's still chicken for crying out loud. She face palmed as the commotion from the garden became louder and louder.
"Chicken Salad!" Xero cried as the frog breathed its last breath.
"That's filthy! A Mudblood! Chicken Soup is yummier!" Zyme retorted.
"Eonnie! You're starting to get stupid, Chicken Soup is too simple! Fried Chicken is far more delicious than that!" Bit commented.
"Yaaahhh! Chicken Soup is way too simple but Fried Chicken is too lousy! That's what we eat since Cloud was born!" Sky stood up and spread her arms to the Sky.
"Really?" Cloud asked, amused.
Sky nodded.
Flashback
1. The day when Cloud was born.
The witch family was seated around the stone table.
"Appa, what's for lunch?" Zyme asked. Their unnamed-appa smiled and put a tray of Fried Chickens on the table. The 4 girls clapped.
"Omo! Chicken!" Bit stabbed the breast part quickly before her siblings took it.
"Hey! That's my part dongsaeng!" Zyme declared.
"I got wingsss!" Xero exclaimed. She took the wings, yes, she have two parts. Greedy.
"Birdy!" Sky shouted.
The newly born Cloud cried in response.
2. One day after Cloud was born.
"Appa, what's for supper?" Bit asked. Their appa put another tray of Fried Chickens on the table.
"Birdy! Dead!" Sky screamed.
"Wow! Chickensss!" Xero exclaimed.
"We had chicken yesterday and we have chicken for today! We're really blessed!" Zyme observed.
"Chicken is a Miracle Whip!" Bit clapped.
1 day old Cloud cried in response.
3. 1 year later...
The family members sat around the table except for their appa, which the author wanted to be named as Jaejin. Jaejin was preparing their meal.
"Appa! What's for breakfast?" Xero asked.
"Fried Chickens agiya!" came the reply.
"Yesss!" They cheered.
4. 5 years later...
"Appa! What's for second breakfast?" Sky inquired.
"Your favorite! Fried Chickensss!" He laughed.
"Oh..." They sighed, wanting something new but Cloud cheered.
"Hurray! Chicken! I love it!"
5. 10 years later since Cloud was born...
"Jaejin-appa! What's for midnight snack?" Cloud asked.
"Your all time favorite!"
"Really? Tell me!"
"It has wings..." Her father gave a clue.
"A dragon! Oh! We're having a dragon! Where did you catch one appa?"
"Haha, no. Smaller"
"I see... well, a dragon would be nice if we have one I know! A bat?"
"No Cloud, a little bigger"
"A little bigger, eh? Hmm... An Ostrich!" Cloud earned 4 spontaneous smacks on the head from her eonnies making the maknae faint.
"Chickensss Cloud! Chickensss!" They cried and smack their own heads.
6. 2 days before Cloud and Jung Juri went to the kingdom of Far Farrrrrr Away.
"Nana, what's for Afternoon Tea?" Cloud asked as she prepared her things.
"Something delicious..."
"Chicken!" She cheered.
"No! Please, I had enough of that!" Xero pleaded.
"I'm going to die if I'll eat another bite" Bit exclaimed.
"I rather eat frogs than that!" Zyme bargained.
"Weed Rat!" Sky said randomly. She saw a weed rat in the mouth of Crookshanks.
"Sorry dears, Cloud's right, we have Fried Chicken". Jung Juri confirmed.
"Riiiiight." The 4 muttered.
Flashback Ends
"I'll go with Chicken Barbeque!"
Jung Juri leaned over the kitchen window.
"Silence! Nana had enough of your bickerings my dear granddaughters! Nana can't decide what to cook!" She yelled, her brain was having a hard time. Chicken Salad here, Chicken Soup there, someone wanted Fried Chicken but somebody wanted Chicken Barbeque. So, she exploded, the 5 girls became silent and were gaping at their nana. No one dared to move nor speak except for one particular maknae.
"Roasted Chicken..." Cloud muttered and then Zyme quickly covered her mouth. Jung Juri sighed.
"Fine... Roasted Chicken it is" She declared and went to cook it. Because of Cloud, her plan has been a major success so, she is oblige to cook what Cloud wants. The Maknae cheered and begun dancing the Far Farrrrrr Away's traditional chicken dance. Her eonnies groaned, life was easy to be a Maknae. Even though disappointed because their dishes have been ignored they still joined the victory dance of Cloud. No one could resist the Chicken Dance, even though you are mad or not.
If Cloud was having a glorious day, the baby that she has cursed was having a dreadful day.
Inside the marvelous castle of Far-Flung Kingdom, the king and queen were once again terrified because in any moment their dear prince would turn into a chicken again. It's been a week since Jung Juri came with a teenage witch on her side and the curse on their baby has been waggling-waggling inside the infant's body. Every night, starting from the witches' visit in the kingdom, Queen Sungmin has been crying everytime Prince Onew will turn into a Chicken Prince and King Kyuhyun would be there to comfort her.
For a week, the life of our dear Prince Onew has been a... the author is searching for the right word to describe it. It has been quite extravagant; it's odd and it s kind the weird even though he was still a week old. By day, he was an irresistible baby that everybody wanted to cuddle but when night comes, he was just a vulnerable yellow chick that no one wants to hug except for his parents. The people were afraid that they might squish the chicken prince. By dawn, he drinks milk (Banana Milk), by dusk, he drinks milliliters of water. By sunrise, he wears soft cottony clothes with matching diapers, by sunset; he wears nothing but his feathers. Poor Baby...
The Prince's curse has been a secret since the surprise visit, only the king and queen knew about it but after a week, all the workers inside the castle already knew about the blight. The king has informed them yet the employees were banned to tell it to anyone outside the palace, for Prince Onew's well-being.
A servant went inside the nursery room with boxes of tissues. King Kyuhyun gently laid the baby in his arms on the bed while Sungmin was holding the boxes of tissues. This is the routine of the queen, everytime Onew will transform she would watch it and then cry her heart out. So, she already prepared the tissues.
"You may leave now" Kyuhyun ordered the maid.
"But sire, I want to see the transformation" Big Mama, the head servant said.
The King looked at her with a look that clearly state that 'Are you the King?'. Big Mama went outside afterwards muttering something that goes with the word 'KJ'.
"Are you ready Sungmin?" Kyuhyun asked as he looked at the grandfather's clock. Sungmin took a lot of tissues from the boxes and nodded.
"Yes honey." Both of them started counting.
"100... 99... 98..."
"Lets skip; we're already behind the time"
"Oh... Okay"
"And I don't like counting backwards"
"3... 2... 1..."
What a great parents they are, skipping counting. After the countdown of the royal couple, a blinding light was seen and with a flash, the baby prince was vanished and was replaced by a chick.
"Waaahhh!" Sungmin cried and started blowing the tissues. Kyuhyun sighed sadly and took the chicken to his arms.
"There... There" Kyuhyun patted the chick so lightly. "Appa's here..."
Sungmin wiped her tears and took Onew in her arms. "Mianhe... Umma's weak but she will take care of you..." She said and kissed the chick.
Many hours later...
The King and Queen waited patiently for the arrival of the first light for their baby will change into a human again. They stayed all night thinking that something terrible might happen if they would let Prince Onew alone. The grandfather's clock kept ticking until the first light came. Hopes beginning to appear on the royal couples' face again. In any moment the curse would be lifted once more. They stood there when a blinding light appeared and a baby was seen. Prince Onew cried and cried informing the two that he's not a chick anymore. The royalties both looked happy.
They looked happy, eh? Just wait... *evil laughs*
