Oh my goodness I love this! 😂 Let's see . . .
ReplyDeleteOnce upon a time, there lived a curious chameleon. (That's me. I know way too much stuff and I'm always researching more.) Then I met a wise centaur (named Ponyboy, naturally), and the two of us fell in love. But one day, I drank a love potion meant for someone else (hmm, must've grabbed the wrong order at Inta Juice; I wanted a Razzleberry, not Love Potion #9). To make matters worse, there suddenly appeared a hungry giant, who took credit for my misfortune (I guess it was his order I grabbed). Before I could stop him, the giant turned me into a newt. (Well, I was a chameleon to begin with, so not that much different, eh?) Immediately, I bravely reported him to the authorities (the policeman who was there on his lunch break). Almost before I knew what was happening, I was transported to the royal palace. (In the squad car? 🤔) Once the dust had settled (and after a sneezing fit from all the dust), I was appointed to the royal court as a reward for my brave deeds (since the giant was on the FBI Most Wanted list for turning people into newts). At long last (after getting turned back into a chameleon), I married my one true love (Ponyboy the centaur, nearly forgot about him!) and lived reasonably happily ever after (and never went back to Inta Juice again).
Little Chronicler: I like the little additions you added in parenthesis, gives it a modern feel.
DeleteHave a lovely day.
Aww, thank you! 😁 You too! 💕
DeleteOnce upon a time, there lived a wise-cracking hermit (named, coincidentally enough, Quiggy Stardust. He met a vain fairy (who, by the way, supplied the stardust) and the two of them fell in love. (Her vanity being bolstered by his wise-cracking comments about her vanity...) One day he fell off a horse and broke his foot. (Ouch). To make matters worse. there suddenly appeared a greedy troll who took credit for his misfortune. Before he could stop it, the greedy troll stole his shoes. (He really didn't need them since he had a broken foot, but it was the principle of the thing...) Immediately he bonked the troll over the head with his quarterstaff and the troll was then attacked by a wolf who promptly ate the troll. Once the dust cleared the hermit decided to join the circus (although his potential success was a bit limited... broken foot, remember...) But at long last, he decided to set off for a distant land to seek a new adventure (although with his luck at horses, he avoided them and what with a broken foot he couldn't exactly walk, so he opted for a magic carpet, which the dealer swore was only ridden by a little old witch on Sundays to get supplies for her potion cauldron...)
ReplyDeleteOnce upon a time, there lived a comely maiden. Then you met a mischievous merman, and the two of you fell in love (because she hates water, but come on... merman, as long as it's not Ethel). One day, you drank a love potion meant for someone else (typical, cuz I didn't look too closely and it looked tasty). To make matters worse, there suddenly appeared a killer bunny who took credit for your misfortune. Before you could stop them (couldn't find the holy hand grenade in my mess of a garage), that villain bonked your love interest over the head and tried to drag him off to their lair. Immediately, you bravely reported them to the authorities (because I still couldn't find the holy hand grenade and I think someone stole it). Almost before you knew what was happening, a wolf came out of the forest and ate the villain. Once the dust had settled, you were appointed to the royal court as a reward for your brave deeds (I mean, that killer bunny was a menace... and the wolf ran off and wasn't there to take the credit... someone might as well benefit!). At long last, you set off for a distant land to seek another adventure (which probably involved ships and the sea because that's where my man lives).

This is fun. Here's mine:

Once upon a time, there lived a perfectly ordinary cat. Then she met a vain fairy and the two of them fell in love.
One day, she drank a love potion meant for someone else and turned into a human who could only talk in any language but the one people can understand. The fairy, not understanding her, fell for her new human beauty and rushed her off and married her even when she protested by punching him in the eye. She would have fought longer but somehow he slipped a tonic in her food which made her obeyed his every command which most of the time was to clean the mirrors and cooked him food that didn't harm his skin.
To make matters worse, there suddenly appeared a disgruntled wizard who took credit for her misfortune. "Indeed, my dear Margaret, had you stayed a cat, I would have not bother with you and now you are to suffer."
Before she could stop him, the wizard bonked the fairy over the head and tried to drag him off to his lair. Immediately, she bravely kicked him in the knee and he fell to the floor. Just when she was about to slam a broomstick over the wizard, the fairy woke up and asked if she didn't mind bringing her a bowl of water to wash his hair. She struck him with the broom.
Almost before she knew what was happening, a wolf came out of the forest and ate the wizard and the fairy. Once the dust had settled, she opened a business with the wolf to help others deal with egotistic wizards and fairies.
At long last, she learned the secret to living a happy life - never answer the door to a wizard who claimed he could make you happy with one of his spells and also, no vain fairy ever makes a good husband.

Have a lovely day.
Once upon a time, there lived a wise-cracking hermit (100% type cast, hehe ^_^). Then you met a wise centaur, and the two of you fell in love (he has majestic hair, like Legolas). One day, you ate poisonous berries and became deathly ill (I /thought/ they were blueberries). To make matters worse, there suddenly appeared a greedy troll who took credit for your misfortune. Before you could stop them, that villain stole your shoes. Immediately, you bravely kicked them in the knee (which didn’t hurt as much as intended because of the missing shoes, but that’s what he gets for taking my belongings while I’m trying to recover from poison!). Almost before you knew what was happening, the royal guard appeared and rescued you (he told the troll to give my shoes back! My centaur had fetched him when I fell ill, and was surprised to see a troll in the middle of this mess!). Once the dust had settled, you built your dream home in the forest. At long last, you married your one true love and lived happily to the end of your days. The End!

ReplyDeleteWow, this actually makes sense!!!
Once upon a time, there lived an excitable dragon. Then one day while you were out to buy cinnamon rolls you met a jolly baker, and the two of you fell in love. Then one day while out to get a drink, I dropped my rent money down the well. To make matters worse, there suddenly appeared a disgruntled wizard who took credit for my misfortune. To make matters worse, the disgruntled wizard bit my ankle! Immediately, I bravely bonked them over the head with my quarterstaff. Almost before I knew what was happening, the royal guard appeared and rescued me. Once the dust had settled, I was declared the new queen of the realm. At long last I married my one true love and we lived happily to the end of our days.
