Once Upon a Time
It was just another day in the Temple. Gabby and Lamenta were searching through books, looking for one to read.
"What about Cinderella?" Lamenta suggested.
"We read that one last week." Gabby said.
"How about Sleeping Beauty?" Boba suggested. "Or Snow White? You love those."
"Yeah, but those are all stories about princesses who get rescued by guys." Gabby said. "Can't we read a story where a girl is the hero for a change?"
"But where are we supposed to find a book like that?" Boba asked, looking through the shelves.
"Let's go check the library." Carousella said. "They've got lots of books."

Madame Jocasta helped the kids look up different books, and she found them one she thought they might find interesting.
"This book tells the story of a woman who disguised herself as a man to join the army and fight for her kingdom a long time ago." said Jocasta. "It was one of my favorite stories when I was Boba's age."
Once they had the book, the kids looked for Qui-Gon and asked him if he would read it to them.
"Ah, here is a perfect tale to break away from the typical princess stories." Qui-Gon said, opening that book. "This story begins a long, long time ago, when in times of peace, there lay a hidden darkness many thought only a man of great strength could defeat. But here we will find that one should not be judged as fragile simply because she is beautiful."
