In Search of the Sugar Plum Princess


*The next morning, Sally, Nutcracker, Major Mint, & Captain Candy set out for the Sea of Storms. Soon, they came across stones floating over a ravine*

Major Mint (Colonel Tig Stripes): Ah, here's our bridge!

*Sally gasped*

Nutcracker: Perhaps we should find a safer place to cross.

Major Mint (Colonel Tig Stripes): Perhaps you should remember who's in charge of this expedition! *he & Captain Candy started across, trying to find their balance, while jumping first stone to stone. suddenly, he accidentally knocked the Captain off the rock he was standing on* A bit tricky.

*Sally & Nutcracker rushed to the edge & found the Captain hanging on to a branch. His knapsack had fallen off him & into the ravine*

Captain Candy (Silver): Help! *Nutcracker tried to reach for him* Please, hurry!

*One of his hands slipped & the branch started to shake. Nutcracker removed his left arm & used it to catch the Captain before the branch broke. Meanwhile, Major Mint made it to the other side*

Major Mint (Colonel Tig Stripes): Good heavens!

*Nutcracker pulled the Captain up

Captain Candy (Silver): Hurry!

*They made it to the cliff & Nutcracker put his arm back on*

Nutcracker: Sorry. Didn't have any rope.

*Then they made it to the other side, Nutcracker helping Clara the whole way. The Captain sat on a rock to catch his breath once they were all safe*

Sally: Are you sure you're alright to travel?

Captain Candy (Silver): I'm fine. Please don't worry about me.

Major Mint (Colonel Tig Stripes): Too bad about your knapsack. Now we'll be needing more supplies

*The Captain stood up*

Captain Candy (Silver): Supplies? Thanks to you, I almost fell into the ravine.

Major Mint (Colonel Tig Stripes): Well, don't blame me for your sloppy footwork and general clumsiness.

Captain Candy (Silver): Clumsy? I'm clumsy!? You're the bungling clodhopper!

Major Mint (Colonel Tig Stripes): You was dangle from a branch?

Captain Candy (Silver): Who's leadership skills put me there!?

*The two continued to argue*

Sally: That was very noble of you.

Nutcracker: Least I could do for an old friend.


*Soon, they arrived at the Sea of Storms*

Major Mint (Colonel Tig Stripes): The Captain and I will make a boat seaworthy. While you two gather supplies.

*He headed towards the beach. The Captain shrugged at them & followed after the Major*

Nutcracker: Sally. Come with me. *he led her to what looked like a barren wasteland* The well used to be over there. *he moved some rocks & dirt until he uncovered a metal door* Here it is. Somebody must've capped it. *he took out his sword & used to pry the well open. then fairies, all in different colors, cake flying out. one of them was a tiny pink female hedgehog with green eyes, peach skin, & pink wings on her back, wearing a crown of tiny flowers in her ponytail, a dress made out of green leaves, purple gloves, gold bracelets, purple shorts, & boots made out of green leaves (look up" -STH Little Fairy-" by "Biko97" on "DeviantArt"). he flew up to Nutcracker & thanked him in her tiny voice* You're welcome. *to Sally* The Mouse King's army destroyed this valley and trapped them in the well.


Note: The rest of the fairies all look like Bunnie, Nicole, Lupe, Coral, & Mina.


*The pink hedgehog whistled & all the over fairies gathered around her. After she spoke to them for a bit, they all flew around Sally*

Sally: What?

Nutcracker: They say you're beautiful.

*Sally blushed at the compliment*

*The fairies giggled. Then they flew off, making plants grow as they flew & danced. Flowers sprouted out of the ground & apples grew on the once barren trees. Sally & Nutcracker walked through the newly grown orchard. Just then, some apples dropped on the Nutcracker's head, making Sally laugh. They looked up & saw one of the fairies giggling at him. One of the apples fell from the tree into Nutcracker's hand*

Nutcracker: Supplies. *he & Sally started picking apples. the fairies all flew around Sally's feet as they danced through the air. Sally twirled with them. more flowers grew as they danced. Sally gathered the apples into a pile. she & Nutcracker looked at each other shyly. just then, the fairies pushed Nutcracker & Sally towards each other until they were really close. Nutcracker held out his hand to Sally. she was about to take it when suddenly they heard a loud roar. they all turned & saw Rock coming over the hill. the fairies all flew away in fear* Run!

*They ran away as the giant walked towards them, crushing the pile of apples underfoot*


*Meanwhile, the Major & the Captain had just about finished the boat when they heard Sally calling to them as she ran over the hill*

Sally: Major! Captain!

Major Mint (Colonel Tig Stripes): Oh, what's she carrying on about now? Probably saw a snake or a spider or a -

Captain Candy (Silver): Rock Giant!

*Rock came up behind her & the Nutcracker*

Major Mint (Colonel Tig Stripes): Good heavens!

*Snively flew up next to the giant's head*

Snively: There he is! Right there! *he was looking at Nutcracker* Blimey! I'm blind as a bat, and even I can see him!

*Sally ducked behind a rock*

Sally: Major, Captain, over here!

*They, along with Nutcracker, joined her. Just then, Rock picked up a boulder & threw it at the ship, destroying it*

Major Mint (Colonel Tig Stripes): I worked on that sail a good half hour! You cheeky bliter!

*The Captain grabbed his arm*

Captain Candy (Silver): Why don't you invite him over for tea and cakes while you're at it!

*Rock started coming towards them. Just then, the Snow Fairies appeared. The littlest Snow Fairy flew around Rock, distracting him*

Sally: Look! *the fairies flew towards the Sea of Storms & froze it solid. Then Marzipan appeared on the ice* It's Marzipan!

Nutcracker: Come on! Before the Snow Fairies disappear!

*The Major stood frozen until the Captain pulled him towards the carriage. They all got in, the Major taking the reins, & then took off across the ice. Suddenly, Rock started following them over the ice*

Captain Candy (Silver)' Ah, he'll break right through that ice!

*But the ice didn't break. Rock just kept walking*

Major Mint (Colonel Tig Stripes): Seems the Snow Fairies did their job too well. *suddenly, Nutcracker stopped the carriage, jumped out, & ran towards Rock, taking out his sword* A sword's not going to do you any good, lad! You'll be pulverized!

Sally: Be careful!

Nutcracker: Don't worry. Wood floats. *he stabbed his sword into the ice, causing it to crack* Rock doesn't.

*He took his sword out & ran back to the carriage*

Sally: Hurry!

Major Mint (Colonel Tig Stripes): Come on! Put some zig in it!

Sally: Hurry! Come on!

*Nutcracker jumped back into the carriage as it took off. Rock, meanwhile, stepped on the cracks, causing the ice to break under him & he sank into the water below*


*Some time later, they were still going over the ice in Marzipan's carriage. A heavy fog surrounded them*

Nutcracker: If this fog doesn't life, we'll never find the Princess' island.

Sally: And if we don't. You battled the Mouse Army, rescued Captain Candy, and saved us from a vicious pile of Rock. All without the Sugar Plum Princess.

Nutcracker: The Mouse King is too powerful to take on alone. Besides, we've gotta find the Princess if you're to return home your true size. *Sally got quiet* That is what you want, isn't it?

Sally: Of . . . Course.

*They kept riding through the fog, not knowing that Snively was hanging on to the carriage. Then he flew away to report to his Master*


*Meanwhile, in the castle library,

Mouse King (Dr. Eggman): Nutcracker destroyed Rock!

Snively: Sent him to the bottom of the sea. Course he had some help. Major Mint and Captain Candy have joined up.

Mouse King (Dr. Eggman): Proving they're gullible idiots! *in the middle of the room was a pile of books* I've combed through every page of every book in the Royal Library and there's no other mention of a Sugar Plum Princess!

Snively: I don't know. They were pretty keen on finding that island.

*The Mouse King slammed his scepter on the ground, sending Snively up, crashing his head into the table above him*

Mouse King (Dr. Eggman): She's a fantasy! But if Nutcracker wants to believe in Fairy Tales, he's about to find out, this one doesn't have a happy ending!
