The Tulip Fairy Princess by Teodora Leon



Maybe you didn’t know, but The Princesses were taking ballet classes a long ago (just like Angelina and her friends). In case you forgot The Princesses’ names, here they are: Cinderella, Aurora, Belle, Jasmine, Ariel, Snow White, Mulan, Pocahontas and Tiana. They loved ballet. Sometimes Cinderella’s ugly stepsisters, Anastasia and Drizella, were coming at ballet lessons, too! But they were not so good like The Princesses. From all The Princesses, Tiana was the best at ballet! She practiced ballet when she was very little, too!
One day the ballet teacher, Miss Glory, told The Princesses: “My darlings, I’ve got some news. I heard from Queen Elizabeth that she wants to make a ballet show at her palace in London. She called me this morning and asked me if I could make the show and I said "yes". We have to think who should be The Tulip Fairy Princess!” “The Tulip Fairy Princess? That’s funny! I read a book called “The Rose Fairy Princess”!” Cinderella said. “Yes, I read this book. As I was saying, we need someone to be the important dancer (The Tulip Fairy Princess). Everybody must show her skills. Now, let’s start!” Miss Glory said. Anastasia and Drizella were the first ones. They danced horribly! They didn’t know how to make a pirouette! Miss Glory was shocked. “Oh... well... okay, Anastasia and Drizella, who’s next?” Miss Glory asked. Drizella and Anastasia were angry! They knew that they couldn’t be The Tulip Fairy Princess. The Princesses danced beautifully, especially Tiana. At the end, Miss Glory announced: “I decided who will be The Tulip Fairy Princess!” All The Princesses gathered around Miss Glory. “The Tulip Fairy Princess will be... Tiana!” Miss Glory shouted. Tiana almost fainted! She was very happy and she couldn’t believe that she was chosen one! “Hooray for Tiana! Congratulations!” The Princesses shouted. “Cinderella, Aurora, Belle, Jasmine and Ariel will be flowers, Snow White will be a colorful butterfly and Mulan and Pocahontas will be ladybugs.” Miss Glory said. “What about us?” Anastasia and Drizella asked. “Well, you will be... green bugs...” Miss Glory said. “But we are not so important like the others!” Drizella said. “I’m sorry, but you didn’t dance perfectly!” Miss Glory said. “Okay, darlings, we will continue tomorrow our lessons.” Miss Glory continued. “Well done, Tiana! You’re going to be a real star!” Aurora said. “I can’t imagine we are going to London!” Belle said. “And Queen Elizabeth is going to see us!” Jasmine said. “Let’s exercise our steps in Tiana’s garden. She has a big garden!” Ariel said. The Princesses exercised all the afternoon.
At the same time, Anastasia and Drizella told their mother everything. “Oh, my dear ones, don’t be sad. I have the magic wand, remember? I could make a spell. Tiana wouldn’t dance well anymore and you two could dance wonderfully!” their mother said. Drizella and Anastasia agreed. Their ugly mother took the magic wand and said: “May this spell transform Tiana in a bad ballet dancer and transform my daughters in brilliant ones!” “Are you sure that this spell will work?” Anastasia asked. “Sure, Anastasia! Everything will be fine now!” their mother said.
The next day all The Princesses were ready. “Okay, everybody, let’s practise together. Tiana, you start dancing.” Miss Glory said. Everybody was suprised to see Tiana dancing very strangely. She wasn’t doing the correct steps for the ballet show. Anastasia and Drizella were laughing. “Tiana, what’s wrong? Yesterday you were dancing perfectly and now...” Miss Glory said. “I’m sorry, Miss Glory, I don’t know what happened!” Tiana said. “Oh, poor Tiana! I guess that somebody else must be The Tulip Fairy Princess...” Drizella said. “Well, I think you are right! The princess after Tiana is...” Miss Glory said, but Anastasia interrupted her. “Wait, Miss Glory, we learned some of Tiana’s steps!” she said. “Who we?” asked Snow White. “Me and Drizella!” Anastasia said. “Prepare to laugh! They’re going to dance horribly!” Mulan said. But Mulan wasn’t right. Anastasia and Drizella danced wonderfully and they knew all the steps correctly. Miss Glory and The Princess were surprised. They couldn’t imagine that the ugly sisters were dancing just like Tiana did yesterday! When the sisters finished dancing, still surprised, Miss Glory said: “Well, my dear ones, you danced very good. Yesterday evening, Queen Elizabeth told me that if they are two good dancers, they can be both The Tulips. So, you’re going to be!” “Yahoo! This is great!” Anastasia and Drizella shouted. “What?!” The Princesses asked horrified. “I’m sorry, girls, I know you hate them, but they danced well...” Miss Glory said. Tiana still didn’t move from her place. “Tiana, are you sad?” Pocahontas asked. “No... I'm not sad... I’m very, very, VERY sad... And angry, too! This is not fair! I think their ugly mother made something to them be The Tulips!” Tiana said. “After the ballet lessons I will follow my stepsisters and find out what’s going on!” Cinderella said. Cinderella did this after the lessons. She followed Anastasia and Drizella and when she got to their house, Cinderella hid behind a tree. Her stepmother was outside waiting for Anastasia and Drizella... “Did the spell work?” the stepmother asked. “Yes! Now, we are The Tulips!” Drizella said. “Perfect!” the stepmother said. Cinderella said to herself: “Oh, my! Tiana was right! I must hurry back and tell the others about the spell." The other Princesses were waiting for Cinderella in front of the ballet school. Cinderella told them everything about what she heard. “But how did she did this?” Aurora asked. “Maybe with a magic wand...” Belle said. “Let’s go to her house and destroy that magic wand!” Jasmine said. The Princesses went to Anastasia and Drizella's house. It was silence and nobody was in the house. The Princesses entered tiptoeing. The magic wand was on a table. “Let’s destroy it before somebody is coming!” Ariel said. “Excuse me, girls, but we are already here!” the stepmother said. “But you are too late!” Snow White said. Tiana was holding the magic wand. “Please, don’t destroy it!” the stepmother said. “Why? To make trouble to everyone? I don’t think so!” Tiana said and she broke the magic wand. “NOOOO! What have you done?” the stepmother said, shouting and crying. “Now all is done!” Mulan said. “We just have to tell Miss Glory everything about the spell!” Pocahontas said. They told the next day to Miss Glory about the stepmother and the spell. “Okay, Tiana will be The Tulip again and Anastasia and Drizella will not go to London anymore!” Miss Glory said. Everybody was happy! In London, the show was perfect. Queen Elizabeth gave each Princess a shiny gold medal. It was a big success for our brave and beautiful Princesses!
The End
