Sorry about that folks. I was not actually reading my own story and so yes I did mention that the princess was part of the family in the first part and totally forgot in the second. I of course blame that on sleep and the President (because as everyone knows everything is the Presidents fault. Including that bad grade I got on my last test) feel free to blame any errors I may have on him. Oh and on the media who has not yet found me but- here the author fluffs hair- any second I could be found and made a star. (It's their fault they have not found me and my special talent) My sister says I have no talent except for falling down stairs, but I argue that that is a real knack I have that should be shown to the public.
For any confusion which was likely to crop up when I made that first chapter, Jimmy was the one talking because even though I wish it, this exciting story did not actually happen to little old me. Le sigh. For the reason I did not go back and fix it, I still do not really understand how to do that and mankind is above all else lazy-Harriet Beecher Stowe

Now that you have skipped all that author stuff just like I did get on with it and read the next short segment.
Well it was time for the Prince to get up. So after rolling back and forth a bit, he called Jimmy and the page, who happened to be still in the room, to help him out.
The page came with much trepidation, because there were rumors that the Prince was so fat he could snap someone's back with his weight.
Yup not the type of death someone would want their family to remember them by. But actually this rumor was not entirely correct and the young man it happened to got healed by the court magician.
The court magician was a very strange person. A man with the peculiar name of Gingerswallow bestowed on him, probably by his mother, but then did he have a mother? (If someone tells me a good mothers name for this guy he will totally get a mother)
It was an accurate name because his face looked like it was trying to swallow ginger. He was a very skilled worker but he was really old. Nobody asked about his life or how old he was, everyone just assumed he was a hundred, and who knows he might have been.
He had been there, so the stories said, since the beginning. Whether this was the beginning of the world or just of the kingdom was not made certain.
Anywhoo the prince was still trying to get out of bed.
Fortunately for the page boy, Jimmy had grown up with taking care of the prince's weight and so needed only a little help to get the Prince out of bed. Still both helpers breathed rather hard after they were done.
Then Jimmy struggled to get the robe over the Prince in a becoming fashion. After that the torture began. It may appear to the casual observer that the Prince did not care about his looks, but that would be a false assumption. Instead he was enamored with his own body, if that's even possible.
So the grueling task began with the Prince deciding what to wear that day. He wanted to put on something unique because it was after all his birthday.
So the servants and Jimmy pulled the outfits out of the overstuffed closet and then had to set them back down and go get another outfit when the Prince was not pleased with that one. Worse than a girl he was.
Eventually Jimmy found the outfit the Prince wanted to wear and they had to put it on the Prince.
Have you ever tried to dress a small little boy that is like six who does not want the clothes on? Well this was completely different. Instead imagine a large marshmallow that had arms and legs, and then imagine those arms where really heavy and limp. Yeah, it was really that bad. So after getting another workout the servants had the Prince ready. As soon as the Prince was done getting dressed the page escaped with all speed and agility before he had to do anything else.
So he stepped his ponderous bulk out the door and BAM! His sister smashed into him. Well this was unexpected so naturally the prince fell down.
"Yes!" All the servants' eyes seemed to say. But then the general expression changed to "A large elephant just sat on Jimmy?"
Then of course their eyes changed to say something else entirely. "Acck, we must save Jimmy from the 'squished to quince jelly' fate."
Everyone scampered over to assist the Prince in getting off Jimmy. Even the princess help heave the bulk of the Prince up from the floor. There lay Jimmy pale and apparently lifeless, on the floor. Everyone stared at the body, and for a moment it seemed as if everyone was morning over Jimmy's dead body. But suddenly he coughed and the spell everyone was under seemed to break. The first one to speak was Princess Eleanor. "Are you all right…?"
Naturally the Prince thought she was speaking to him and he responded "Humph yes I am Eleanor but I wish you would be a bit more dignified when you move."
Princess Eleanor responded "Why I was not talking to you Brother!" She laughed a light airy laugh "I was asking your servant how he was. How are you?" she said turning back to Jimmy.
"Milady" rasped Jimmy, "I am fine."
"Well" said the princess "What is your name?"
At this point the Crown Prince interrupted "Eleanor, you do not need to know this servant's name. I know you have been abroad for a long time and have learned some strange ideas, but here he is just a servant and he is beneath us."
Eleanor looked at her brother and shook her head but abruptly changed the subject. "How has your birthday been so far today my Brother?"
"Horrible, just horrible, I have been lectured by father and I have to go to the commoner's court."
With that said the Prince started to sail down the hall. The way he moved was like a Spanish ship rolling from side to side. His attendants started to catch up and Jimmy shakily got to his feet. The Princess stopped him with a hand to his arm.
Softly she spoke "I am sorry for my brother, what is your name?"
"Jimmy, Your Highness."
"Ahh, I did not think you were the one who was with my brother when I left. Where is Tom?"
"I do not know Your Highness. I was rather bewildered when I entered the service of your Brother."
The Princess grimaced but even then she still looked beautiful. "Yes, I imagine so. Still can you at least tell me the town that he was left at? He was one of my best friends when I was here."
Jimmy scratched his head and responded "Well I do not think the town has a name, but it is the town that sits in front of the Baron's, May he be hogtied, castle. That is where I used to work before…"
The Princess gave a puzzled expression that soon cleared as she exclaimed "Oh, that is the town that all the famous pipes are made. Correct me if I am wrong but did a fellow from that town win in the world fair for best pipe?"
"Yes, but my Ladyship I need to follow the Crown Prince as I am his servant and he may need me for something."
"Of course you may leave, Jimmy but wait! One more thing, why do you call the Baron by that interesting expression, does he care?"
And so once again Jimmy told the reason for the expression and then he hurried off down the corridor as fast as possible in order to incur the least amount of anger from the Prince as possible.

Well the only reason I am still writing this is because of the two reviews I have gotten thank you Blue Mercedes and Popular Galinda. I really am happy for getting something from people. I just hope I will not have to make up a account for a fake person to review on myself. Yes I really have sunk to that level of thinking.
