Mahya was tired. She had labored away for fifteen years, running a kingdom until her daughter was old enough to take the throne. Luckily, tomorrow was her birthday, and her wedding, so she didn't have to wait very long to put her feet up. She was old now, but her baby was young and beautiful. Her soon-to-be husband Theo was young and handsome. They made a wonderful couple. Theo was a young man with copper blond hair and pale skin, and he wore nice forest green clothes. Evangelina was a young lady with blond hair and pale skin. She usually wore a pink dress. For the wedding he would wear robes, and she would wear a gown.

Finally the day came. Evangelina came to her mother's chambers to get ready. Her long hair was a mess, and her skin was red and blotchy. Her dress was ripped, and her slippers had holes. Both articles of clothing had dirt and mud caking them. Her hair also had weeds and grass in it. Her skin had a nasty rash, and her cheeks were tear-stained. Mahya was shocked. She decided to make her messy daughter beautiful again. She set aside a bucket for her bath, and many flowers for her hair. She took out her old dress, and she worked hard to make it wearable. Evangelina sat in the tub and began to scrub. She looked wonderful, and her hair and clothes looked clean and fresh, but instead of slippers, she wore boots!

Finally the big day came. Evangelina was in her mother's chambers, but she was a mess. She had weeds and mud in her hair, so Mahya drew her a bath. Unfortunately, in the middle of her soak, the royal puppy and the royal dog came in and interrupted her relaxing bath. Then the royal kittens came in, followed by the royal cat. The tub area was very wet already, but when the animals fell in, the floor was soaked! Evangelina was upset that her bath and clothes were ruined, but her mother replaced the water, and began to fix one of her old gowns up. She also used fine leather to make her boots! She separated the flowers, sewed a blanket, and made a set of cakes!
