Could Unicorns Be Real?

                                                       Johnnie Belle

Johnnie Belle had been included in a shopping day with her mama. She loved her brother, Bradshaw, but a girls' day out was wonderful. Her brother was older and had already started preschool. Sometimes she would get lonely and would feel a bit sorry for herself, but her mama would often take her to see her cousin, Oakley. She loved Oakley. They had the same grandparents and sometimes they would get to play together at their house.

The first place she and her mama went that day was a store that sold little girl headbands and sunglasses. She giggled and said, "Oh, Mama, may I try that on? It is so pretty. I think it would match my sunglasses. What do you think? It looks just like a unicorn. I love unicorns. I heard that they are magic. I think they might be real. Are they real, Mama?"

 As Johnnie put the head band on she got a little dizzy. She looked in the mirror then she heard a lady asking for a boarding pass. She looked all around her. Where was she? She was in an airplane! Then she looked out the window.  As she squinted her eyes and looked really close she thought she could see a beautiful castle peaking through the clouds. "Oh, Mama! Look! There goes a unicorn. They must be real!"

Queen Kennlee Ann

Even though she lived in what looked like a castle, she actually lived in the servant's quarters connected to the main palace at Wefunland. Kennlee wasn't a real queen. Her mama called her a queen and her daddy called her princess, but she had no loyal subjects, just stuffed animals that she had gotten for gifts. They were all in her bedroom in case she got company, but she never did. Each day she would go sit out by the sea hoping someone would come to play with her. One day while she was outside she looked up and there was the most beautiful airplane she ever saw. She wondered who the people were in the plane and where they were going. As she watched the plane it disappeared in the clouds; another day without someone to play with.

As she continued to look up into the sky imagining the wonderful places she would visit and things she could see she could hear the head cook calling her. It was time to go to work. It seems that the real princess was going to have a party and needed special treats for her guests. She had missed seeing the beautiful unicorn that had been flying beside the airplane that Johnnie Belle was riding on.

 It would be so nice to go to a party as a guest someday. She did like the kitchen staff though. They laughed and had a good time while they were working.

That night after her work was done, she heard a knock at the kitchen door. When she opened the big wooden door there stood a little girl. She had things covering her eyes and a leopard skin on her head and for a coat. The poor thing looked dirty and confused.

"Hey, I'm a little cold. I'm looking for Unilan'. I lost my Uni somewhere. Have you seen him?  Can I come in? I'm hungry. Got any cookies? I think I smell cookies. Oh those look good. We should have a party."
