Narrator: Fairy tales tell, as their labels imply / Stories of magic, of creatures that fly / With giants and dragons and ogres and elves / And inanimate objects that speak for themselves / There's romance and danger and plotting of schemes / There's good guys and bad guys and some guys in-between / A fairy tale also reveals some sort of truth / The perils of choices we make in our youth./ But our story today is different in theme./ For our hero had no choice or so it would seem./ It starts with a fairy bestowing a spell./ This one's a baby named Ella of Frell.

Ella: Now, I need you to go back into the forest and rally all the elves and giants you can find.
Slannen the Elf: You want me to go back in there?
Ella: Yes. You're going to need all the help you can get. Now someone has to get back into the castle, find Benny and then keep Char away from Edgar.
Slannen the Elf: Why? What's going on?
Ella: I already told you, I can't tell you, but... but if you don't, you might be stuck singing "Kum-ba-ya" for the rest of your life!

Slannen the Elf: [rustling] Oh no... The rustling always comes before the screaming and the running. I *knew* this was gonna happen! They're just gonna find pieces of us scattered across the forest.
Benny: [a rabbit hops out of the bushes] Oh, a bunny. You know, the last known case of a bunny attack was, well, *never*.
Benny: [a rabbit hops out of the bushes] Oh, a bunny. You know, the last known case of a bunny attack was, well, *never*.
Hattie: What my unworthy opponent fails to realize is Sir Edgar has done a fantastic job. He has driven the ogres out, and he has put giants and elves to work as laborers and entertainers. Therefore, if it weren't for him, we wouldn't have today's thriving free-enterprise system.
Ella: It's only free because we've enslaved the poor creatures and they work for nothing. Edgar is a monster, and I don't hold out much hope for his nephew, either.
Hattie: Well that shows what you know aka nothing. Prince Char will be the greatest king ever. Right girls?
Ella: I wonder if my opponent has based her opinion on the prince's politics or how cute she thinks his butt is.
Hattie: Humph! Oh just admit your stupid and don't know what you're talking about

Edgar: I trust you found everything to your satisfaction?
Ella: Yes, thank you.
Edgar: Good, good.
[Edgar knocks book off table]
Edgar: Oh, dear. How clumsy of me. Pick it up.
[Ella picks it up]
Edgar: Very good. Now touch your toes.
Ella: [touching her toes] Oh, no.
Edgar: Oh, yes. And while you're about it, why don't you pat your head and rub your tummy at the same time?
[Ella does so]
Edgar: Now jump up and down.
Ella: [jumping up and down] Please stop.
Edgar: Wait. Perhaps you know this one.

[to Ella]
Edgar: Okay, stop.
Ella: You're about to become king. You'll have the power to make a difference in the world, and you don't even care.
Char: It's not like I asked to become king. I have no say in the matter.
Ella: Well thanks to your uncle, there are a lot of people who have no say in the matter. Nobody should be forced to do things they don't want to do. Take it from somebody who knows.
Char: It's not like I asked to become king. I have no say in the matter.

Ella: What?
Slannen the Elf: Nothin...
Ella: No, what were you going to say.
Slannen the Elf: Forget it. It's silly.

Slannen the Elf: I want to be a lawyer.
Benny: I guess that would be in small claims court.

Ella: I didn't try to kill you.
Char: [to a member of the Red Guard trying to kill Ella] You stay away from her!
Char: [both of them fight back some guys] What, so that dagger you were about to plunge in my back was just an early wedding present?
Ella: [a guy goes to attack Ella, and Char fights him back. Benny gets turned into a pumpkin accidently. The Red Guards keep attacking] Okay, maybe I did try to kill you, but that wasn't me.
Char: What?
Ella: Okay, maybe it was me, but it wasn't my fault.
[Ella and Char duck right as a guard attacks, causing him to hit 2 guards behind them]
Ella: [Benny gets turned into a man and joins the fight] ... then Edgar found out about the curse and he ordered me to kill you.
[Char fights off a guy behind Ella]
Ella: And the only way I could think of to stop it was to break up with you, even though I'm pretty sure that you're the best thing that's ever happened to me.
[while still lookingn at Ella as she explains, Char fights a guy attacking him from behind]
Ella: And that crown he's about to put on your head...
[Ella helps with the guy behind Char]
Ella: It's a trick. It's poisoned.
Char: Duck.
[Ella ducks, as Char swings his stick around, hitting all three Red Guard attacking them]
Ella: [Ella stands up, looking around, rather shocked, at the men on the ground] Whoa.
Char: Edgar's trying to kill me?
Ella: Yes. I - hold on.
[Ella jumps up and kicks a Red Guard behind her, taking him out, rather swiftly]
