Willow was young, but she sure was fast. She zoomed in, out and between the older dryads feet. She felt invincible, that no one could catch her.

"Willow, we caught you!" the other kindergartens rushed around her and surrounded her.

"We captured Princess Willow!"said a boy, who was pretending to be an evil mastermind, "Who shall save her?"

"Oh come on, Glen, you can do way better than that!" whispered Willow, "Pretend to drag me away."

"Come on! We got thome money to earn juth to look at the bootiful pwinceth." shouted a giggling girl. Marigold. The girl who was nice and funny and loved to talk.

"I'll save the Princess!" bellowed a boy overhead in a tree, pretending to be a strong Prince, "Willow! Watch out!"

The boy jumped into the heap of 'bad guys' and everyone lay sprawled on the grassy plains. "Oh, Flint." Everyone exclaimed at the boy. "You're not supposed to jump off yet!"

"Never mind." he answered.

Willow struggled to get up because she was laughing too much. Marigold, the female baddie, helped her up. They both stumbled over again, laughing so hard that their stomachs ached.

"That wath fwun you wanna pway that again?" Marigold asked, with a funny lisp, "Thith time I'm the pwinceth and you're the bwad gwuy."

"Okay!" Willow dragged her new found friend around the plains. They laughed and laughed until their parents picked them up.

Life for Willow was definitely looking up.
