And Now, Back to our Fairytale . . . .

When last we left our brave Princess, she was struggling to make her way up the large Dtour Hill, her wonderful Husband and Son behind her, helping to hold the dreaded Dragon Couch Potato at bay.

Our Princess was gaining ground, she was breathing easier and walking more upright, her steps were coming faster and she was smiling more and more as she made her way up the hill on her journey.  Couch Potato, however was losing ground, falling back as he slipped on the slope and tripped over the rocks in his path.
 

But our dear Princess had another enemy.  An evil little demon named Myron the Vicious!  Myron was the meanest, nastiest, creature ever to walk the earth, and he had made it his mission to hamper the little Princess on her journey.

Now, Myron knew that the Princess suffered from horrible pains in her head from time to time.  These pains were especially bad when storms were moving in and out and the seasons were changing.  Laughing evilly, Myron stirred the skies and created a series of storms that he sent through the area were the Princess and her family were. 

Clutching her head in pain, our Princess retreated to her throne and was forced to stay there for quite a few days, much to the delight of the dread Dragon Couch Potato.  He would sit next to the Princess and whisper in her ear.  "See how much easier it is to stay here where it is warm and comfortable?  Have some ice cream, you love ice cream!"  In her pain and weakness, the Princess gave in.

The days passed as they do, and soon it was Sunday.  Sunday was Weigh-In Day.  The day it had been deemed that everyone in the castle stepped on the scales to see how much they weighed.  First the young Prince stepped on the scale,  he had lost 1/2 pound, and the people rejoiced!  Next was the Prince he stayed the same, and again, the people rejoiced!  Lastly the Princess stepped on the scale, she had been doing so well lately, the people had been so happy!  The Princess stepped on the scale, and . . GASP!! She had gained a pound!  The people were silent, their disappointment hung heavily in the air.  The only sound that could be heard was the laughter coming from Couch Potato and Myron.  

In fury, the Princess spun to face Couch Potato and Myron.  "Very funny you two!"  she spat "But if you think a few headaches and one lousy pound are going to stop me, you have another thing coming!  I'm going to beat you and prove to myself and everyone that I can do this!"

Myron smiled a slimy evil smile.  "We'll see Princess, we'll see."  and he disappeared in a flash of flame, followed quickly by Couch Potato.
