SCENE | Zoe, Abby and Rosita finish playing a game and Zoe and Abby decide they should make up a princess story, though Rosita would rather play ball instead. The other two convince her to help, even though Rosita doesn't think she'll be good at it. Leela passes by and they recruit her to write down their story. Zoe and Abby both come up with names for their princess (Lucinda and Tallulah) and when they consult Rosita for her opinion, she says she likes both, so they give her both names. Next, they put the princess stuck in a tower. Zoe thinks a prince should rescue her, while Abby suggests a fairy godmother save her. They ask Rosita, who thinks she should rescue herself, a change they all like. |

SCENE cont'd | Next, the princess gets lost in the woods again. Zoe again thinks a prince should save her and Abby too wants a fairy godmother. Rosita thinks she should save herself once more: Princess Lucinda Lula finds an old house, where she uses some tools and builds herself a pogo stick-skateboard to escape the woods. The other girls like her idea again. |
  |
SCENE cont'd | Finally, the princess encounters a dragon! Zoe wants the prince to fight him off and Abby wants the fairy godmother to turn it into a mouse.

Everyone is pleased with their story and are ready to play ball, but now Rosita has another story idea! |
