Up, Up, and Away

Nine year-old Princess Beatrice was testing to see how far she
could stick her tongue out."That's disgusting,"said a familiar
voice. Beatrice put her tongue in and said,"Elizabeth, go away." Elizabeth
flopped down on Beatrice's bed and Beatrice used her tongue to stick
it out at her. Elizabeth wrinkled her nose. "So what do you want?"asked
Beatrice. Elizabeth didn't come into her room as a rule. "I wanted to give
you something,"answered Elizabeth. "Yeah, right,"scoffed Beatrice."Like
what?" "A pain in the neck,"Elizabeth said, giggling. "You, are by no
means, a pain in the neck,"Beatrice said, trying to count how many
freckles she had on her nose."You're a pain in the brain. Just
listening to you gives me a headache." "Well, for your information,
I have to stay here,"said Elizabeth, triumphantly. "Why?"asked Beatrice.
"Don't you have someone else to annoy?" "My new closet is being
built in, and I can't go in my room,"replied Elizabeth. "Why here?"was
Beatrice's next question. "Sally's playing with Misha and Sandra, and
she says I scare them off,"said Elizabeth, impatiently. "No wonder,"said
Beatrice."Your voice is enough to scare Frankenstein. Go over to Holly's
room." She picked up a sports magazine and started flipping through
it. "Holly has her door locked and Father's in a conference,"answered
Elizabeth. Beatrice glared at her and said,"Well, if you're staying, I'm leaving!"
And with that she was out.
Beatrice wondered what to do. First she decided to take a hike. Then she
changed to visit the horses. Finally she settled on going to The Magic
Shop. The Magic Shop was full of wonderful magic. Not those cheap
little magic tricks, real magic. Beatrice's eyes rested on a bottle that said,
"Flying Polish." The instructions read,"Rub polish on your feet and off
you go!" Beatrice bought it. Soon she stood in the woods, rubbing polish
on her feet. Then she felt herself rising. Beatrice had just enough time to
grab the bottle and soon she was in the clouds. Beatrice decided to fly home
and see if anything was happening there. She saw Elizabeth leaning out the window.
So Beatrice decided to have some fun. She found a long branch and tickled Elizabeth's
head with it. Elizabeth grabbed the branch and swung it out. When she saw
Beatrice hanging on to the of it she started screaming. When Beatrice let go and
floated to the ground, Elizabeth went into hysterics. Beatrice went inside and stood
in the door of her room. When Elizabeth turned around and saw her she yelled,
"Who gave you permission to fly up and tickle me with a branch?" Beatrice
stared at her and asked,"Huh? What do you mean? I can't fly." Elizabeth opened
and closed her mouth while Beatrice continued,"Maybe you should get your
eyes checked." Elizabeth stared at her and then ran out of Beatrice's bedroom.
Beatrice grinned and stuck the bottle of polish in her dresser. It might come
in handy. And it did.
