World 11: Proper Princess Posture
"So, after duets and waltzes that I was either not interested in or couldn't compete in I think it's time I had some fun." Merida said with a mischievous grin.
"You won one of those!" Alex stated.
"And you one a romantic ballroom dance with someone else's wife." Merida responded.
Alicia and Rapunzel giggled and Alex lowered his head in a mixture of shame and anger.
"Besides this one is just for the princesses… and you too Elsa." Merida sat down and continued. "Let me introduce all of you to a special quest judge for this contest. My mother Queen Elinor."
The queen gracefully entered and stood next to her daughter. After a short welcome to her guests she explained the contest and Merida summarized:
"Each of you will balance three books on your head. You will each walk back and forth until there is only one of you left with three books on your head. And remember you must keep your posture "princess perfect"." Merida said as she slouched in her chair.
"Shouldn't you be doing this with us, you are a princess after all Merida." Rapunzel asked with a frown.
"Yes she should, but that's the hostess' privilege." Queen Elinor said.
"Of course…" Alicia said with some sorrow. She looked over to Rapunzel who also didn't look to fond of the idea.
They began.
"Keep your chin up ladies." Queen Elinor's constant comment.
Sure enough despite their agility and balance Alicia and Rapunzel couldn't keep their books on their head.
"Too bad, better luck next time." Merida said with a grin reclining in her chair.
As Merida was about to snack on a cake Alicia sent a small flame to light the treat on fire. As Merida reacted to the prank her mother called her attention back to the contest. Both Cinderella and Tiana were showing signs of struggling to continue. Tiana's waitress experience and Cinderella's light steps barely kept them in the running but it would be Snow White that was next eliminated when her books fell of her head.
"Oh well. I'll have to try better next time." Snow White said as she sat down.
It wasn't much longer that Ariel and Tiana joined her as they actually lost their balance.
"What happened Ariel?" Alicia asked.
"I am not sure, but I was a little distracted by Alex and the others." Ariel said holding back a giggle.
Sure enough the boys were also playing with posture and balance. Alex in particular was proving he could balance on one leg and balance his book.
"Pocahontas and Mulan I have told you countless times to watch your posture! Please sit down ladies." Queen Elinor said.
Meanwhile the Prince's continued their games. Naveen and Eugene had begun to dance together to the amusement of the others. Aladdin and Alex had started to open their books and wear them that way. Eventually as they began to try to balance books and jump over objects and each other Belle became distracted, and when Phillip fell over Kristoff and they collectively knocked over Henry, Belle couldn't contain her laughter anymore. As she struggled to get to her seat Queen Elinor marched over to the boys.
"You may continue to have fun but I must insist you all leave and not distract the contestants. Go on, out, out!" She demanded.
When the Queen returned to her seat she looked at the four remaining contestants: Elsa, Anna, Aurora and Jasmine. Three princesses raised in their home palace where they grew up learning to do this exact thing and Aurora who had a magical grace about her.
"Alright, since you four are experts at simply walking you must now walk to Merida and myself, curtsy, pivot, stand up and walk to Snow White and the others, curtsy, pivot, stand and come back.
"Okay I can do this," Anna said as she approached Merida and her mother. "Curtsy, pivot, stand up and walk away. Curtsy, pivot, stand up, walk. Curtsy, stand up, pivot, walk. Curtsy, walk, pivot, stand up. Curtsy, stand, walk pivot… oh no."
Anna had arrived in front of Merida and the queen. She curtsied and paused. Her pause was so long that Merida had to ask if she was okay. In response Anna tried to pivot and stand at the same time and fell over. As she fell Aurora, who was nearby, reached out and helped Anna soften her fall. However in the process she lost her own balance and a single book fell off her head.
"The daughter of a sultan and a queen. I had expected it to come to you too." Queen Elinor said.
They continued on. Queen Elinor continued to add new tasks and eventually the contest became one of concentration. Whoever lost focus first would lose and when it came down to it, deep down one had always been a rebellious spirit and the other determined to remain in control. It happened slowly as a brief misstep. Than another, and another until finally the last book fell and Jasmine was eliminated.
"The winner is Queen Elsa!" Merida shouted.
"I would expect nothing else from a fellow queen." Elinor said.
Elsa accepted her victory gracefully at first. Than her mischievous side appeared along with its smile.
"That's two wins for me, if anyone is counting."
