|| Fight Song|| Rachel Platten ||
Alice took charge, since she was the one in charge now. Sonata and Ophie wanted her to pick which book she wanted to read. "The one about the fairytales," Alice decided, knowing that it was an important decision. She hated having to choose though, because what if choosing made Sonata sad? "We can read the one about the plants after!" She ammended quickly, even if things were confusing right now, Alice would do her best to keep everything in order. Laertes joined them, slumping down on the couch, claiming that he was dizzy. Not him too! Was everyone getting sick? "I'll read the book," Alice decided. She picked it up from the floor and sat down beside the fire, opening it up. The words made her head spin, so she decided she would make the story up.
"Once upon a time there was a beautiful princess and all of the prince's wanted to marry her, but she didn't want to get married." Alice glanced up to make sure that they were listening, then turned the page as though she was really reading from the book. "The Princess wanted to stay home and bake tarts and play in the garden. So that's what she did and no one ever bothered her, until an evil witch came and-" she began coughing, her throat feeling dry. Sonata swooped down with a glass of honeyed tea to help soothe her throat. Alice drank it quickly, the tea not too hot. "I'm gonna continue now, okay?" She asked and Sonata nodded, patting her head. "Yes, keep reading us the story." No one dare to point out, of course, that the book was actually upside down.
"And then the witch turned into a dragon and kidnapped the Princess! She kept her locked up in a giant tower and said, the only way you can leave, is if you get married! So they intervewed every Prince in the kingdom, but none of the Princess wanted to try and marry the girl in the tower, even if they promised him all of the riches in the world! The Princess thought no one would ever marry her until one day, a new Prince moved into town and he decided he was going to marry the Princess! So he killed the dragon and saved the Princess from the tower. They got married and bought a lot of dogs and had a happy ever after!" She closed the book, satisfied with her story. "Did you guys like it?" Alice asked, squirming in her seat.
"Dinner is ready," Viola poked her head into the parlor where they were gathered. She lifted Alice up, suddenly reaching under her dress. "When did you take your underwear off?" She inquired, seeming cross. "You'll never catch me!" Alice squirmed, making Viola drop her. She ran away, leaving behind the book and taking Dog. She had taken her underwear off sometime during her nap and stuffed it underneath one of the pillows, which Viola was now looking through while Alice ran away, but not upstairs because she didn't want to bother Julian while he took care of Cal.
