Make Believe

Make Believe



"Alright, so we have…me, the awesome prince; Antonio, the fearsome tomato dragon; Eliz, the evil Queen; and…..wait! We don't have a princess yet!" said Gilbert.

Antonio gasped "That means that we can't play!"

"What happened to that creepy Francis guy?" asked Elizaveta.

"Mi amigo is sick today" Antonio answered.

"Well, who's going to be the awesome Me's slightly less awesome princess?" Gilbert asked.
Just then,  Elizaveta spotted Arthur across the room. He seemed to be talking to himself again. "Hey Arthur!" she called "Wanna play with us?"

"Aww…do we have to HAVE to invite eyebrows over here?" Antonio asked, annoyed.

The blond child's large eyebrows raised in surprise. He looked around to make sure there weren't any other Arthurs around. "Me? Really?" He asked.

"D'ya see any other Arthurs around here?" The girl asked after giving the Spaniard a hard hit to the head (she received a loud "Ow!" after doing so of course)

Arthur excitedly stood up, and rushed over to the three other children. "What are we playing?" he asked.

"Hide-and seek." Said Antonio "So now, you have to go and hide far, FAR away…"

Elizaveta glared at the Spaniard and gave him another hard smack "Be nice!" she commanded.

"Ow!!" He was about to glare at her until he saw her fearsome glare. "Fine…" he answered.

"We're playing Make Believe and we need your help Arthur" said Gilbert.

"My help? What do I have to be?" asked the blonde.

"You have to be my awesome princess!" Gilbert exclaimed proudly.

"Princess!? Why do I have to be your bloody princess!?" asked Arthur "Why can't you get that stupid frog to be your princess?"

"That pervert's sick today" answered Elizaveta. "So we need a princess, and I sure am not going to be this idiot's princess. Now if my lovely Roderich was the prince, it'd be a different story…." She said as her voice trailed off.

"But your 'lovely Roderich' isn't here is he?" Gilbert retorted.

"Oh shut up, you're just jealous that he's more talented that you'll ever be." The girl replied. "So what do you say Arthur?"

"Yeah. Will you be my slightly less-awesome-than-me-but-still-awesome princess?" asked the albino.

Arthur sighed. "Ok fine."

"Awesome!" Gilbert cheered

"We've found our princess!"Elizaveta exclaimed.

Antonio groaned "Why did it have to be eyebrows and not my Lovi?" he thought to himself.

"Hold on! I need to get the costumes!" the Elizaveta said before she took off to the trunk full of costumes. She came back a few minutes later holding all the costumes and props necessary.

Soon, they were dressed and ready for the story to begin. Gilbert as prince Awesome, wearing a shirt with a gold star on it and a plush yellow bird as his trusty steed (it was his idea, not Eliz's); Antonio as the fearsome tomato dragon, wearing a red shirt and a green dragon mask with red crayon on it; Elizaveta as the evil queen, wearing a crown and a dark vampire cloak; and of course Arthur as the princess, wearing a green dress and a plastic tiara with plastic jewels on it.

"Once upon a time,"Elizaveta began "there was a beautiful princess who liked to play in the woods."

Suddenly, the four weren't in the daycare anymore. They were in their own magical enchanted forest.

Arthur sat on the ground and made flower chains. "Oh, how boring this is. I wish something interesting would happen" he said.

Elizaveta suddenly appeared from the side. "Aha! I have you now princess!" she announced, as she took Arthur by the hand. "Ha ha! You're mine now! I'll make sure no one will ever see your face again, because I'll put you in a tower guarded by my pet dragon!"

Arthur screamed. "No!" as he was taken to the tower (sofa).

'Ha ha! Scream all you want princess! My dragon will defeat anyone who wants to come close to you!" The evil queen exclaimed as she laughed evilly.

"Roar!! I am the tomato dragon!!" Roared Antonio "Ha haha! I'll make sure the princess never has another wonderful tomato ever again!" he declared cruelly.

"Help!Help!" Arthur cried dramatically. "Someone save me from the evil dragon!"

"Don't worry princess! I, the awesome me, will save you!" announced Gilbert. "Let's go, my trusty steed! Onward,  Gilbird!" He flew through the air on Gilbird's back (ran around holding the plushie in the air).

Antonio roared. "You'll never reach the princess!"

"Oh yes I will! I'll fight you with my sword and shield!" Gilbert said as he waved his sword (plastic asparagus) and shield (old storybook) in the air.

Gilbert approached Antonio. "Die dragon!" he exclaimed as he jabbed (poked) him with his sword.

Antonio roared again. He smacked the prince away.

The prince approached the dragon once more. He jabbed him harder.

"Ow! That hurt Gilbo!" Antonio said.

"It did? Oh, sorry." apologized Gilbert.

The dragon roared."I'll make you pay for that!" he took Gilbird and flung him away.

"Gilbird!" The prince shouted "I'm coming buddy!" he ran after him.

"Oh no! You big mean dragon!" said Arthur.

Antonio stuck his tongue out at him.

Arthur growled. He turned to Elizaveta. "If Gilbert doesn't come back, can I kill the dragon?" he asked, irritated.

The girl laughed. "Yup!" she answered with a smirk.

"What!? Hey Eli! Who's side are you on anyway!?" asked Antonio.

The girl only laughed more.

"The awesome Me is back!" exclaimed Gilbert who was back on the bird's back.

"Ha ha! You'll never defeat me unless you find my weak spot!" said the dragon.

The prince thought for a moment. "Hmmm……I know your weakspot!" he exclaimed as he took his
sword and tickled the dragon's armpits. "Ha ha! I know your weak spot!"

Antonio fell to the ground laughing. "Ha hah—s-stop it! Ha haha hah—Stop it mi amigo!! I can't—breathe!!"

The prince stopped tickling the dragon. "I have awesomely managed to slay the horrible dragon!  Now, to find my princess!"

"No so fast!" The evil queen exclaimed. You might have slain my idiot pet dragon,--

"Hey! I'm not an idiot!" Antonio said

"Sorry Toni, but the evil queen is evil like that." replied Elizaveta.

"Where was I? Oh yeah—you might have slain my idiot dragon, but you are no match for me!" exclaimed the queen.

"I can fight you!" said the prince.

The queen laughed. "I'd like to see you try!"

The prince tried to jab her with his sword, but missed her by an inch.

"Ha ha! You'll never defeat me! No while I have this crown on me!" the queen claimed.

She took another sword (plastic aubergine) and began to fight with the prince.

"You can fight her Gil!" cheered the princess.

"I can't! She's too strong!" said the prince.

"If you can't, that means you're not awesome enough!" said Arthur.

Gilbert gasped. "I AM awesome enough!!" He cried.

"Then prove it." The queen said.

"I'll show you!" Gilbert said as he readied his shield. "You dusty thing." He said to it as he brushed some dust off.

The dust flew all the way to Elizaveta and she sneezed. She sneezed with so much force, that her crown fell off. She gasped "Oh no! My crown! I'm melting!" she cried as she melted into a puddle.
"The awesome me is finally victorious!" exclaimed the prince. "Now, I must get my princess!"  He ran up the stairwell towards the room where the princess was held captive (climbed up the sofa).
"Princess!  I've come to save you!" He took him by the hand "Let's go!"

They flew on Gilbird's back out of the tower, and back into the woods.(Leapt off the sofa, holding a wing each)

"Hooray! Happy ending!" cried Elizaveta. "Gil! Now you have to marry the princess!"

"Huh!?"

"Que!?"

"What!?"

"Why do I have to marry him!?" asked Gilbert.

"Because," The girl answered," You saved the princess, so you have to marry him, or give
him a kiss at least!"

Arthur blushed.

Gilbert shrugged. "Ok then." He said. He went to the younger blonde, and gave him a small kiss on the cheek. "There."

Arthur's face was red. He stayed silent.

Suddenly, Mr. Vargas came into the room. "All right kids, it's time to go home~!" He said.

"Aw…it's time to go home already?I don't wanna go home!" whined Elizaveta as she and the others packed their bags and headed out the door

"Me neither, but I wanna see my Lovi again~!" said Antonio."Hey Gilbert, wanna come on the ride with us?"

"Awesome! Let's go!C'mon Artie!" He said as he took the younger blonde's hand , went into the van and sat next to him, beaming.

During the ride home, Elizaveta, Antonio, and Gilbert talked about the exciting adventure they had and the others the might have in the future while Arthur remained silent and thought about how he made some new friends today.
