Let Me Tell You a Story
"Once upon a time there was a lonely King. He had lost his queen to the evil Troobian kingdom. The King traveled the galaxy, fighting the Troobians off as best he could. One day, he came across the beautiful Queen of another kingdom. He saved her from the Troobians, but she had already lost her king. Now, the king and queen from different kingdoms were lonely together. They went to a new kingdom, called Earth. They made a group of brave knights and warriors, called Space Patrol Delta, to fight the Troobian kingdom. Sir Sky, Sir Jack and Sir Bridge were some of the best knights they had. Miss Z and Miss Syd were also valiant warriors for SPD. They were the pride and joy of the King and Queen."
"Soon, the Troobian kingdom came to Earth to lay siege to the people there. SPD fought valiantly, but the Troobians were sneaky. One day, though, the Troobians figured out how important the Queen was to the King. So, they took the Queen from the King. He went to find her, though, and he fought for her. The King became the Shadow Knight of SPD. He fought—he fought so hard for his Queen; and he got her back, in the end."
"There was another time when the Queen was taken from the King by the annoying King Birdy of the Supreme Kingdom. The Queen was gone for a day and the King was beside himself. The biggest regret...the King's biggest regret was that he hadn't told the Queen that he loved her, yet. The Queen was tough, though, and she went to fight the Troobians even though the Supreme Kingdom had separated her from the King and her warriors. She became the Cat Warrior, and she fought alongside the King. Together, Cat Warrior and Shadow Knight fought. They fought for the kingdom of Earth, and for each other, and their SPD."
"When the Troobians went too far, and attacked Earth with the great King Omni, the King and the SPD warriors were separated from the Queen again. While she stayed to fight for Earth the King fought King Grumm, who took the King's first queen from him. Shadow Knight defeated Grumm and returned to Earth with the SPD warriors. He found his Queen and promised never to leave her again. He told her loved her, and asked she be his Queen forever."
"And then all of SPD celebrated the marriage of King Doggie and Queen Katherine!" a small, high–pitched voice finishes in joy. "They all lived happily ever after and the SPD of Kingdom Earth fights to protect the people to this very day."
"Yes, it does," Cruger smiles warmly and presses the lips of his muzzle downward against his daughter's temple. "Won't you ever tire of this story?"
"Never," big green eyes stare back at him. Dark hair, soft but straight with curls at the bottom, falls around her face. Blue scales encroach on her peachy skin around her cheeks but recede back down her neck. "I am Princess Siria, daughter of King and Queen Cruger and named after the great fallen Kingdoms of Sirius and Felia!"
"All right, bed time, both of you," Katherine says with a warm smile from the door.
"Mommy," the young one lets out a canine whine.
"Siria, bed," Kat says firmly. Her daughter folds her ears so the fleshy insides are hidden by the blue–scaled outsides. "Your aunts and uncles are visiting tomorrow; you need to rest."
"Yes, Mommy," Siria gets a kiss and nuzzling from her mother, which she returns.
"Good night, my angel," Anubis lays a kiss to his daughter's crown and nuzzles her also.
"She never tires of hearing of her valiant father and aunts and uncles," Kat kisses .
"I never tire of telling her about her magisterial mother," he returns the kiss sweetly. He lays her on their bed and smiles, "the beautiful Queen...Katherine Cruger."
