The FAIRY TALE Beginning
At the christening of a king and queen’s long-wished-for child, seven good fairies were invited to be godmothers to the infant princess- Sleeping Beauty. At the banquet each fairy was presented with a golden plate and drinking cups adorned with jewels. Soon after, an old fairy named Maleficent entered the palace. She got overlooked because everyone believed her to be dead.
Six of the seven good fairies offered their gifts to the infant princess. By this time Maleficent had been infuriated about having been forgotten. She cursed the infant princess that she would one day prick her finger on a spindle of a spinning wheel and die. The seventh fairy, who had not yet given her gift, changed the evil fairy’s curse by giving the princess a potion of magic drink. Instead of dying, the Princess and the whole kingdom would fall into a deep sleep for 100 years.
The TWIST in the TALE
95 years passed peacefully.
One day Maleficent recalled that the time for Sleeping Beauty and her kingdom to wake up was drawing closer. She became agitated and conjured up a mighty sidekick who would forever burn down the sleeping kingdom. When the 7 good fairies saw that, they put their powers together and called upon the Power Puff Girls from The Hog-puffs School. They were the brightest students of the school and had helped the good fairies on several earlier occasions.
Then the three Power-Puff girls (PPG), Blossom, Buttercup and Bubbles, came. Blossom had the power of becoming invisible, Buttercup had the power of super strength and, lastly Bubbles had the power of flight. The wicked fairy’s sidekick, Aristostomias the dragon, came. He was a toy dragon that had been powered up by the many plays in which he had won against various creatures. Every win had made him more powerful and he had become fiery and furious. He could easily set things on fire with just a few random flames from his fiery mouth.
The Power Puff Girls started fighting with Aristostomias, suddenly Aristostomias hit Buttercups badly and she fell. Down she went… trying to scream for help but she could not find any. With a huge thud she landed on the battlefield. In the meanwhile, Blossom was going to be roasted by Aristostomias’ fiery flames but something happened and Aristostomias’ flames did not emerge from his mouth. Now, it had so happened that Buttercup had fallen straight on the remote control of Maleficent which controlled Aristostomias. The moment she fell, she hit the pause button.
When Blossom and Buttercups came running to Bubbles, they saw that Aristostomias was following them! When they reached Bubbles, Aristostomias started wagging his tail and started smiling! Astonished, the Power Puff Girls looked at each other. Then Blossom realised that she had got the control of Aristostomias through the remote control. Using the control, she paused Aristostomias and then with the ‘mode change’ button, she changed his mode from ‘evil’ to ‘virtuous pet’. Having done this much, the Power Puff girls were happy. Now they had to find a way to tackle Maleficent.
Suddenly the wicked Maleficent came and was stunned to see Aristostomias rushing towards her! The wicked fairy ran quickly! So, Buttercup doubled Aristostomias’s speed. He ran swiftly, caught the wicked fairy and roasted her in his slithering flames! With loud cries of pain, Maleficent was reduced to ashes within minutes. The toy that Maleficent had created had turned out to be mighty enough to put an end to his own creator. The Power Puff Girls handed over his remote to the good fairies and went back to their school.
The remaining 5 years passed very quickly just the way the previous 95 years had! Sleeping Beauty and kingdom people woke up at the end of 100 years as promised by the good fairies. They were all very joyful and lived in harmony and prosperity for many more years!
