Ali's P.O.V.
We all stood around on that swamp for a good 15 minutes and wouldn't you know it, a carriage pulled up. Out of it came an older woman. This woman left an awful taste in my mouth. She looked like a cross between Nancy Grace and Ursula from my favorite story The Little Mermaid. She even sounded like her too!
"Alright all you fairytale freaks! You are here because you're weird, rude, and crushing happiness!" she screamed in Pinocchio's face.
"What the heck did I do!?" Asked Pinocchio with an annoyed eye roll.
"Why you crushed this mother's daughter's spirit!"
I turned and was shocked to see Lord Farquaad himself. Pinocchio then froze with fear as the little girl from the ride followed with tears in her eyes.
Pinocchio's P.O.V.
My heart froze as I saw the little girl follow, begging and pleading with her mother and Farquaad to not banish us!
"Mother! Lord Farquaad please! He was just protecting me!" She cried.
"Be quiet Rosie! Mommy's banishing them from Duloc whether you like it or not!"
I couldn't believe this mother was doing this all because I wouldn't let her daughter on the ride. If you ask me, that is just impractical, immoral, unlawful and just downright stupid!
"Who gives you the right to kick us out!"
I turned to see the elf being brave and strong as others did the same. I could see her courage fall though when Farquaad got in her face.
"I do Missy!" he smirked and got back in with the mother and rosie being dragged.
I teared up as I saw her look back at me with big blue eyes. And just like that, they were gone. I looked back at the others with a look of disappointment on their faces.
Well they did the best they could to make sleeping arrangements work in an abandoned hut. Pinocchio though couldn't help but still smile at the elf. She was so brave and wanted to be strong for everyone. Pinocchio then looked down in defeat and over to Ali, Liza and Ashley who were talking about what to do next.
"Hey girls"
"Oh hi Pino! What's up!" Said Liza in a slightly cheerful mood.
"If I tell you something do you promise not to tell ANYONE?" he asked in a low voice.
"We give our solemn word" said Ashley raising her right hand.
He nodded and took in a deep breath.
"OK, truth is, I have a huge crush on that Elf that's with us! I mean, she's so beautiful! And I get so nervous around her that it makes me want to upchuck my woodchips!"
"Aweeeeee….and…ew…." said Ali both happy yet slightly grossed out.
"If you want to, we can help you find a way to tell her" Ashley offered as he sat by them.
"You girls would do that for me?" he asked.
"Of course we would! You're our new friend!" Said Liza as she put an arm around him.
Pinocchio smiled and went into the hut with them to get some sleep. He was so happy to know that now he had three wonderful friends to help him through this whole ordeal.
