Chapter 4

Table 1

Mario and Rumplestiltskin came closer and closer to Phil. Phil shut his eyes and wished but then he saw the hat lying beside him and fell unconscious. Phil woke up in a prison cell wondering where he was until Mario and Rumplestiltskin started staring at him.

In the dark cell, Mario kicked the cap into the cage and said, “You can play baseball with this cap.” The Hat of Ultimate Transportation was in the cell next to him. One of the 12 princesses was in the corner crying so Phil said, “Why are you crying?”

“Because my sister is gone!”

Phil said, “Where is your sister?”

“I don’t know,” said the princess, “we can’t dance without her.”

“Maybe I can find her and you can come with me? Follow me!”

The princess said, “Are you sure about this?”

“I’m sure! I have been here before.”

Phil and the princess disappeared.

Phil turned around and saw two dark reflections a yard behind him. He saw a yeti and made a plan. He said to the hat, “Make me go on the yeti!”

Table 2

“What are you doing here?” boomed Rumplestiltskin.  “Actually, don’t answer that. We’ve got visitors coming and I don’t want YOU distracting our preparations.” And with that he prodded Phil into the jail and stomped out, Mario close behind him.

It was uncomfortably hot in the cell and Phil was squished in with the princesses, who squashed him so tight he could barely breathe. He was just about to try and start a conversation, when he heard voices coming towards him.

They got closer and closer, and suddenly Goldilocks flounced in! He yelled out for her to help, but as she got closer, her smile got more and more menacing. Without a word she dragged him out of the cage and into the living room, where he saw the Big Bad Wolf lounging in an armchair.

The wolf rose up, a sack in one hand, which he then plunged over Phil, who knew nothing more until…

Table 3

Suddenly, a ball came flying in through the window. It hit the cage that the princesses were in.  Then the door screeched and Big Bully Billy walked in. While Mario and Rumplestiltskin were dealing with Billy, Phil crept up and took the key from Mario’s pocket.

Phil crept back to the cage and opened the door of the cage. It squeaked open and Mario and Rumplestiltskin turned round. Phil grabbed a candy stick from the wall and whacked Mario in the face! Rumplestiltskin bent down to help him and that was their chance to escape.

They landed in the woods, back where they started. They remembered the last princess that was still trapped in a sack by Mario. Phil put marshmallows under his feet and jumped up to the castle…

Table 4

Then candles lit around the wall of the castle. Mario and Rumplestiltskin walked over to the cage. They said, “Which one of you will come with us?”

Ten stepped back and one immediately stepped forward and said, “Take me, my hero!”

Then Rumplestiltskin said, “Let’s go on a date my dear, just you, me, Mario and his girl.” Then Mario pulled the other princess out of the bag and she kissed him on the cheek. They walked out and locked the door. Then Phil set the other princesses free and they each thanked him with a kiss on the cheek.

They all escaped with the Hat of Ultimate Transportation. Then Phil put on the hat, he held hands with the princesses and they all held hands together. He said, “Take us to wherever Mario and Rumplestiltskin are.” It took them to the Great Wall of China. Phil couldn’t believe his eyes, he had always wanted to go there, since he was four.

Then Phil saw Mario and Rumplestiltskin, they had the two princesses on a date, they were just about to climb the Great Wall of China when…

Table 5

“So you found our little hide out?” said a familiar voice.

“Who’s there?!” said Phil.

“Don’t you remember us? We are Rumplestiltskin and Mario. Do you like our collection of princesses?”

“I’ll tell you what I don’t like-  you going round stealing the Princesses of Sweetland.” Phil ran towards Mario with his fist scrunched up ready to punch.

As soon as Phil threw his first punch at Mario, he felt like he had punched a brick wall. He realised Mario had swung his baseball bat and Phil felt dizzy and stumbled towards Rumplestiltskin and fell down right at his knees, then grabbed the keys…
