Hello, Mimi fans,
(Mimi, now a superhero named Fortressa)
Fortressa: Kaboom, I can’t believe we’re up so high in the heavens, traveling at lightning speeds, and we’re still not there. It’s taking forever, royal blue, boo hoo. How will we know and when will we arrive at the sorcerer’s lab?
Kaboom (formerly servant Kaboo, now superhero also): We are close, my Queen. The wizard gave me a tracker to help us.
Fortressa: We must be east of the Castle on the Main by now where the sorcerer’s lab resides. We passed the castle a while back and I saw the rooster weathervane my father had his workers put up on the castle’s highest peak when we passed over the castle. It was pointing east. The weathervane was always a sore point with my mother, the Queen of Castle on the Main. But I’m glad that my father, the King, is a very odd king. It makes me feel like I’m not so odd.
Kaboom: The tracker, my Queen, is beeping. We shall land now.
Their feet touch the ground.
Fortressa: Wow, this is a marvelous land east of the Castle on the Main. Why haven’t I been here before? It’s beautiful and the trees are enormously high and go on for miles.
Kaboom: Well, it’s a great distance from the Castle on the Main and your parents would not allow it when you were growing up. And then when you were grown, your royal parents put you on the barren land apart from their kingdom, Boot Castle, so you could reign as Queen there. It’s shaped like a boot, but it’s more like a boot in the pants what they did. So sorry, my Queen, but we’re past that now, right? Let’s knock since no one is coming out to greet us.
Kaboom knocks and Sorcerer opens the door.
Sorcerer: Mmm. Who are you? My sensors must not be working. I didn’t hear your approach. You have to leave.
Kaboom: We were sent here, Master of Magic, by the wizard. He could not change my Queen’s frog husband back into the Prince of Boot Castle. (Kaboom removes the frog prince from inside his clothing to show him to the sorcerer) Can you help us?
Sorcerer: I do not help random strangers. And what Queen? I don’t see a queen here. Besides, you must complete several tasks before I will consider your request. I’m sure the wizard told you.
Fortressa: I am Mimi, the Mad Queen of Boot Castle, you imbecile, and this is my faithful servant, Kaboo, now Kaboom. The wizard turned Kaboom and I, now Mimi Fortressa, into superheroes in order that we may complete our task and travel quickly through these lands to him and to you. You better apologize or I will zap you good with my new powers.
Sorcerer: Do pardon me, Queen Mimi Fortressa, but I think I can override your powers.
Fortressa: You think so? I’d like to see you try.
