The Return of Myron and Couch Potato

Couch Potato and Myron were ecstatic; their new plan was working perfectly.  Having failed in their previous attempts to derail the princess, they had devised a truly evil planWorking quietly they had crept into the princess' brain and had slowing begun to twist thoughts, feelings and even her determination.  Myron had very carefully chipped away at her willpower until she had actually begun to believe that her endeavor was destined to fail and her goals were unattainable.

The two of them were having a wonderful time celebrating and patting themselves on the back.

However, they had not remembered one thing about our stalwart princess; for all of her good qualities, she had one that stood out above all others.  Our princess was quite contrary!  Her favorite thing to do was the opposite of what was expected of her.  This facet of her personality had mostly been channeled into positive things.  Such as helping people who were thought of as not deserving of help, and learning how to control her sometimes impulsive behavior.

This time, her 'charter flaw' was going to work in her favor.  Every time someone whispered in her ear that she couldn't succeed, she became more and more determined to achieve her goal!

While her two nemeses had done a very good job of temporarily sidetracking her, our princess was now wise to what Myron and Couch Potato were up to and all it did was to strengthen her resolve make it to the top of that mountain.

Couch Potato and Myron may have won a battle.  But our princess was in it for the long haul and had every intention of winning the war.

No more would she allow whispers and doubt to enter her world.  She had a job to do and she was bound and determined to finish it.

Our villains knew that they had failed in their attempt to weaken the princess' resolve.  With tail between the legs and head bowed low, Couch Potato and Myron skulked away vowing to return with a new and better plan to harm our brave princess. 

Hearing their mumbled threats, our princess smiled and said but two words to her enemies.
"Bring it!"
