A Bedtime Story

A little change from what I'm currently working on...here's an update and a bedtime story. Try to imagine, if you will, he possible illustrations...Enjoy!


                Once upon a time, in a kingdom down the street from the grocery store, there lived three handsome little princes and one pretty little princess. These little royals lived under the rule of King Daddy dear and Queen Mommy and were much loved and cherished.

                One day, after a adventure-filled afternoon of fighting pillow monsters and building forts in the living room, Queen Mommy glanced at the clock.

                “Oh my, it’s 8:30 already,” she declared, “Time for bed my little ones.”

                Sadness filled the little royals and they cried in dismay, “Oh Momma, can’t we stay up and play? Just a little longer?”

                “I’m afraid not my dears. Tomorrow is a busy day and you need your rest. Now off with you, time for bed!”

                With a resigned sigh, the little princes and the pretty princess trudged off toward the bathroom to brush their teeth. One by one they stood at the sink as Queen Mommy helped them capture all the bandit cavities with their mighty toothpaste and toothbrush. Then after rinsing and smiling in the mirror, each little child ran down the hall to their bedrooms and grabbed their royal pajamas. The little princes were dressed dashingly in blues and reds, while the pretty little princess decided to wear a pink night dress.

                After tucking each little royal into bed, Queen Mommy gave her little royals a kiss on the forehead and bade them a quiet goodnight.

                “Now, no playing. Straight to sleep,” She commanded, with a smile as she shut the door to the Little Princess’ door.

                But laying in the dark causes one’s mind to wander and soon, the little princess fancied that she heard a noise…a noise coming from under her bed!

                ‘Oh no!’ She thought, ‘It must be a monster!’

                Suddenly the bed began to rattle and shake and the Little Princess heard a growling noise. She let out a terrified squeak!

                “Help!” she cried, “Help me!”

                The Little Princes down the hall heard their sister’s cries and jumped from their beds, grabbing their plastic swords. They would protect their sister!

                Running down the hall they pushed open the door and saw a giant dragon, with bright green scales and glowing yellow eyes, hiding under their sister’s bed!

                “Monster!” they cried dashing forward, attacking the beast that growled and snorted.

                The little princes lunged at the beast, avoiding its fiery breath and spiky tail. They jabbed their swords and defended their sister, who sat terrified on her bed, clutching her favorite doll.

                Suddenly, the dragon attacked and lunged at the little princes, throwing them to the ground!

                “Oh no!” cried the pretty Princess, jumping from her bed, “I will save you!”

                Grabbing  her magic scepter the princess jumped on the back of the beast and tried to put a spell on it. The beast, however, was just too strong and the pretty little princess fell to the ground next to her brave little princes.

                The giant dragon growled at the little royals and prepared to attack…

                But fortunately Queen Mommy opened the door.

                “What on earth are you doing?” She cried.

                The little princes and pretty princess looked up at their mommy and then back to the dragon that had magically shrunk and now resembled one of their many stuffed animals.

                “We were protecting the princess from the dragon!” Exclaimed the littlest prince.

                Queen Mommy sighed and smiled, “Oh my brave little princes, did you succeed?”

                Nodding vigorously, Queen Mommy smiled and ushered her little ones back to bed.

                “Now no more adventures until morning! Give those imaginations a rest,” She declared, kissing her little princes on the forehead and turning out the light once more. She returned to the princess’ room and gently tucked the little girl back in bed. “Be safe little one,” she whispered with a smile and quietly turned out the light.

                After that, the little royals slept soundly in their beds, the little princes valiantly clutching their plastic swords and the little princess, snuggling with her stuffed dragon.

                Yes all was well and quiet in the little kingdom down the street from the grocery store…

                At least until the morning that is.
