Inspiration: My little brother comes home from pre-school and tells me what he does everyday. Yesterday, he said that he played castle and that his friend Allie was the princess and Mr. Shane was the evil dragon. I asked if he was the Prince he said no, another girl was. So was inspired by that. My little brother was the gardener because he likes flowers.

Elizabeth and Stephanie were enjoying their daily cup of tea, today it was at the Hummel household, while Kurt, Sam, and a few of the other neighborhood children played. Their soft conversations of dance lessons, soccer practices, and the weekly shopping were often interrupted by a high pitched shriek of laughter, which only made the mothers giggle and smile at the joy that filled the house.

However, a loud crash followed quickly by the sound of tears, had both mothers jumping out of their seats and rushing upstairs to the playroom.

"What's going on?" Elizabeth asked as Stephanie scooped up a weeping Finn. "What happened to Finn?"

"Noah pu-pushed me down," Finn sniffed.

"You were being mean to Kurt and Sammy. That wasn't cool man, you totally deserved it," Noah told him with a shrug.

"Mercedes?" Stephanie asked turning to the girl. "Why don't you tell us what happened."

"We were going to play castle. Finn told me I had to be the princess even though Kurt is always the princess. I wanted to be the dragon cause the dragon is totally awesome, it gets to kill the weaker knights. Finn said that I couldn't be the dragon because I was a girl. When Kurt ignored him and put on the princess crown and Finn took it away. Puck took it back and pushed him down," she told the adults matter-of-factly.

"Finn, dear, did you do that?" Stephanie asked shocked, setting the little boy down and kneeling so that they were face to face.

"Well, I guess, but boys are princes and girls are princesses."

"But sometimes a boy can be a princess and a girl can be a prince if she wants and I think that's the point that Noah was trying to make. However, Noah, you shouldn't have pushed Finn," Elizabeth added with a warning look to the other boy that he was all to familiar with. "That was just as mean as Finn not letting Kurt be the princess. Now, why don't you start your game again, and anyone can be whoever they want."

"I'll be the dragon," Mercedes giggled running over to get the costume that Elizabeth had made just for her after weeks of the girl wearing a costume that a few years old and therefor, far too small.

"I'll be the knight," Noah said going to get his usual costume as well.

"Actually, Puck, you can be the Prince today if you want. You saved Kurt and that's the prince's job," Sam told him, offering him the other crown. "I'll be the knight. I haven't gotten to try on the cool helmet yet."

Noah grinned. "Thanks Sammy!"

"Who can I be?" Finn asked.

"You can be the king that locks me away in a tower," Kurt offered. "Or you could be another knight. You're tall, but I think it should fit you."

"Can I be another knight?" he asked.

"Of course," Kurt told him, leading the taller child over to where the costumes were. "Everybody hurry up and get dressed. We have to practice before the show for our mommies. They will all be here when the little hand is on the five and the big hand is on the twelve. Mommy said that means it's five o'clock."

The children rushed to get their costumes on, Sam fixing Noah's crooked crown and Kurt helping Finn get his costume on while Mercedes set up the little stage that Burt had built.

Oh my Lord and Taylor! I am so sorry that I didn't get this out to guys sooner. I went to Chicago on vacation and I just wasn't focused on writing while I was there, because hello…CHICAGO! Anyway, I'm back now and the Muse has seemed to not run off so I should be updating again much more frequently. I'm so sorry about that.

Love,
