Bootee and The Blitz


This story is adapted from the fairy tale (La Belle et la Bête) by Jeanne-Marie Le Prince de Beaumont. This is just a free narration I made out of my desperation to finish my assignment for Creative writing class. The Characters and my storyline are purely fictional. So please, don’t sue me. Enjoy! :)


 *****

Once upon our time, there lives a beautiful girl, Bootee. She’s the hottest maiden in town. Bootee loves reading and yearns for a life beyond the village.   She lives with her father in a small flat. They are happy. They take care of each other. Just the two of them.


A billion light years away from there, there lives a Prince. The most hideous prince known to planet Pluto. His name is Blitz a.k.a Blitzkrieg. Blitz’s nose is slightly upward. Every time light meteor shower hits, he’s the only one who gets suffocated (due to the debris stuck in his nostrils). His eyes bulge out of the socket every time he sneezes. Blitz’s decided to end his suffering. He tries to make an appointment from renowned plastic surgeon on planet earth, Dr.Dre.


So Blitz agreed to take a trip to planet earth. Dr.Dre fixed an appointment for Blitz next month since he’s fully booked by Mars Hip Hop Legend, Eminem. While going for sight seeing on planet earth, Blitz saw Bootee… He decided to capture her as souvenir. He brought her back to the castle.


Locked up in the castle, Bootee was accompanied by weird animate objects like the teacup set, the clock, the candle holder, even the wardrobe speaks to her. This scared the bejeezer out of her the first time around. Within hours they became friends. And Bootee discovers that Blitz is actually a lonely soul with no friends.


The story goes that one day, an enchantress disguised as an old beggar woman offers Blitz a rose in exchange for a night's shelter. When he turns her away, she transforms him ugly and turns his servants into furniture and other household items. She gives him a magic mirror that will enable him to view faraway events, and also gives him the rose, which will bloom until his 21st birthday. He must love and be loved in return before all the rose's petals have fallen off, or he will remain ugly forever.

 

The candle holder gives Bootee a tour of the castle. When she finds the rose in a forbidden area, Blitz angrily chases her away. Frightened, Bootee tries to escape, but she is attacked by booger (a green-yellowish creature that lives in a cave called nostrils - go figure.. (-.-)" After Blitz rescues her, she nurses his wounds, he gives her the castle library (?) as a gift, and they become friends.

 

Later, they have an elegant dinner and a romantic ballroom dance to celebrate Blitz’s 21st birthday. When he lets her use the magic mirror, she sees her father sick and frail, with only hours left before the rose wilts, the Beast allows her to leave. This horrifies the servants, who fear they will never be normal again. As he watches her leave, Blitz admits to his servants that he loves Bootee. Little did he know, Blitz’s arch enemy, Gastong plotted to kill Blitz and dethrone him around midnight.

 

Gastong slid into the castle, finds Blitz sobbing at the make up table and attacks him from behind. (Urm.... not ‘that’ kind of attack…(-.-)" Moving on…) Blitz who is initially too depressed to fight back, regains his will when he hears Bootee arriving at the castle. After winning a heated battle, Blitz spares Gastong’s life and climbs up to a balcony where Bootee is waiting. (ok.. storyline getting weird) Gaston follows Blitz and stabs him from behind, (again… not ‘that’ kind of stabbing.. (-.-)" but loses his footing and falls to his death.

 

As Blitz dies from his injuries, Bootee whispers that she loves him, breaking the spell just before the last petal drops from the rose. Blitz comes back to life, and he and the servants become normal again. So he canceled his appointment with Dr. Dre and fixed an appointment with a wedding planner instead.

Why do we have eyebrows?

Enuff said!

Ehem! Ehem! *Fixing my narrator voice*..


  Long before the time of our ancestor, our forefathers looked like aliens. 
Without hair or fur, just skin and bones and one huge eyes. 
One day while hunting, 
they saw the most extraordinary Creature in the animal kingdom, the Lion. 
What amaze them were not the creature’s sharp claws, nor its magnificent fangs. 
They were stunt by the beauty of the lion. 
Thick luscious hair on it, glinting like golden sheet at the struck of sunshine. 


Then our forefathers called up a meeting to discuss this matter during dinner near the bonfire. They were still awfully strike with their encounter of this magnificent creature with golden sheet. 
They couldn’t stop talking about it. 
Then they decide on a plan to stalk these creatures. 
Maybe they can investigate how or where these creatures get their golden sheet. 


They followed the creature with intense precaution. 
Day in, day out, they watch these creature and report back daily activity of these magnificent creature. How they sleep, how they hunt, how they eat, how they play, just about everything. 
But our forefather still couldn’t figure out anything about the golden sheet. 
Dumbfounded, our forefathers assembled another meeting. 


They remembered the wicked witch of the west mountain.
 They decided, that what ever it takes, they must somehow be granted wisdom to acquire the golden sheet. 
So, they wandered about to locate whereabouts of the wicked witch. 
When they finally locate her, they made an appointment to see her. 


For 7days and 7nights they travelled. 
Their hearts were gleaming with hopes. 
When they arrived, they went for One on One session with the witch and told the witch their desire to acquire a Golden sheet of their own. 


Some want to have it covering up their entire body, some just want to cover up 'certain' places, some just want to have a long golden sheet on their head with different colour and highlights.


 All forefathers agreed on one thing for sure, they all want a golden sheet covering up their big eyes because they are afraid of getting cataract. 
The wicked witch agreed to grant their desires and she wish to see what offerings they might bring her for this particular deed. 
Because of all the excitement, 
our forefathers forgot to bring along offerings for the wicked witch. 
The wicked witch was very enraged by this and couldn’t help but to sulk in a corner. 


Our forefathers was anxious and they agreed to entertain the wicked witch by doing jumping jacks, hula hoops, rope skipping, & played cops and thieves with the wicked witch. 
Satisfied, the wicked witch agreed to go on with the plan. 
But, she informed our forefathers that the thing they want the most will recede over time. 


Our forefathers understood and they sign up a M.O.U & agreed to all the terms and condition. Minutes later, the wicked witch chants in each ears. 
And… *Pooff* Our forefathers are no longer bare, they have different style of ‘sheet’ on their body. Their eyes are no longer hurt when they are under hot gleaming sun. 
Because they have what they call, an ‘i-borrow’ which later known to us as, eyebrows. 

So folks, that is why until now we have eyebrows. 
(At least, according to me anyway.) XD
