The Namreg Shelf

A New Dress For Cinderelly

It had been a few days since the incident, but everyone on the shelf was whispering about it. Strangly enough, Aurora didn't care at all.....

Actually....

That's not strange at all!

Cinderella made her way up to the cabinets and climbed onto the counter.

"Now what will I do!?" she cried. "I just want to keep dreaming, but all they end up being are nightmares."

"I just want to have a good dream for once."

Once again, in the creepiest way possible, the Fairy Godmother showed up. Cinderella looked up and her eyes burst open.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!" she screamed at the top of her lungs. "Get away from me!!!"

"Calm down, Deary," said the Godmother. She explained who she was and what she did. "I just want you to have a happy dream, even if it's for a ball. These are the kinds of things that give me joy in my old age."

"Can you make me a dress for the ball, Godmother?" asked Cinderealla.

"I can do better than that!" she announced. The Godmother waved her wand near Cinderella and sung out her enchantment.

Suddenly, Cinderella's dress became a sparkling, gorgeous blue dress.

She began to cry with joy. "You've just made my dream come true!" she said, embracing the Godmother.

"I need to tell you something, Sweety," said the Godmother firmly. "It's very important that you listen to me!"

"Yes?"

"This is a whole, complete outfit, and the magic will only last so long as each of the pieces are together. If you lose even one shoe, the spell will be broken and you'll return to those old clothes of yours, and everything will be exactly as it was."

"So you're telling me," said Cinderalla, "that I can control how long my dream will last?"

"If you choose to look at it that way," said the Godmother, "I suppose that's exactly what I'm saying."

"Oh thank you Godmother! Thank you so much!!!"

No Dress for You

Gothel has been a little insane lately. She's been making Cinderella clean so many things, I'm suprised her little plastic hands haven't popped off yet.

Cinderella finished her house work early today, and for some reason she seemed especially giddy. She was humming, and dancing around. It was the first time I had seen her that happy since she came to the shelf.

"Mother Gothel," she said sheepishly. "I was wondering if.... If I..."

"Cinderalla, we talked about the mumbling didn't we!?" said Gothel in her oh-so-annoying way.

"Well yes... I'm sorry. I was wondering," she said in a clear voice, "if I could go to the ball that's coming up soon?"

Gothel laughed rather hysterically. "Oh, Cindy, that's demented! Who will stay here and clean?"

"I'll come back and clean all night long! I promise. I've even done extra work today!"

"Well, Dear, what would you wear?"

"Don't worry about that," she giggled, "my friends have been making me something very special."

"Well I suppose you can go as long as you don't make me look bad." She laughed. "Though, I hate to admit it, but you're getting a little chubby!"

Cinderella smiled and simply walked away.

"I'm so excited Cinderelly," said Jaq with a smile.

"Where is it?" asked Cinderella.

"Da dress is.... uh... well," said GusGus, "It's kinda missins!"

"Don't I look fantastic!" shouted Aurora running into the room. "And it's a perfect fit too!" she smiled and spun around. "Whoever made this tailored it exactly to my waist line!" she smiled and spun again.

"HEY!" shouted the mice all at once. "That dress is for Cinderelly!"

"No, no," said Cinderella losing some of her happiness. "She looks gorgeous in the dress." she stood up and walked silently away. "I think it looks better on her than it would have on me anyways."

"But, but, but," said GusGus, "Cinderelly..."

Make It Blue!

"Once the ball is over, your gown will turn back to the old one, no rewishes, no returns, it goes back to blue the moment the ball is over," said the Fairy Godmother.

"Excuse me?" said Meriwether floating down the side of the shelf. "How dare you change her dress! And how dare you turn it pink! It's supposed to be blue!"

Aurora turned to Meriwether. "You'd better not!" she yelled.

Meriwether chased her to the other side of the room, waving her wand in the air and casting blue spells on everything. The desk turned blue, then the roof, then my bed. "Stop!" I yelled to her, but she didn't listen.

"NOOOO!" shrieked Aurora as Meriwether cornered her!"

"BLUE!" she shouted.

"NO!" exlaimed Aurora. "Now I'll never be able to go to my own ball!" She screamed out, "What am I going to wear now!?"

She ran to the top of the shelf as far as her little feet could carry her. The mice were steadily finishing up the dress they had made for Cinderella when Aurora passed by it.

"Oh....." she looked at the dress with a sparkle in her eye. "I like this. I like it a lot."

[namregshelf]

The Godmother

"I'm just going to look ugly and in an old dress forever aren't I?" cried Aurora into the pile of clothes.

"There, there, Sweet Child," said a calming, elderly voice. The Fairy Godmother appeared in a sparkle of light.

"Have no fear, Dear," she giggled, "I do believe that I just made a rhyme."

"WHO CARES ABOUT YOUR FREAKING RHYME!" shouted Aurora. "My hair is a mess, my dress is old, and now I'm going to go to my own ball looking like trash!!!!"

"Nonsense!" said the Godmother. "Now dear, I can fix everything. I'll make it all better. That's what I do. It's what I live for." She raised her wand. "Now, Dear, just close your eyes, and think of happy thoughts." She spun the wand in circles. "Bibbity, Bobbity, BOO!" she yelled.

Suddenly, Aurora's blue gown transformed in a shimmering pink gown without the sleeves and a rose pattern down the side.

"It's lovely!" she shouted. "Thank you! You've saved my entire life!!!" She touched the top of her head. "And this crown.... It's just.... It's to DIE for!"

"But, Dear, I must warn you, this magical spell will only last so long."

"What are you talking about old lady?" said Aurora in disgust.

"Once the ball is over, your gown will turn back to the old one, no rewishes, no returns, it goes back to blue the moment the ball is over."

Aurora looked up sneakily. "If that's the case," she thought, "then the ball will never end!"

[namregshelf]

Drama, Drama

"I HAVE NOTHING TO WEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!" cried Aurora as she lay on the floor.

After all that happened with the cancelation of the dress the other day, I felt bad for her. Especially after Adam got such a pretty dress for Belle.

I decided that I was going to go all out. I took all the extra doll clothes I had lying around and I tossed them her direction.

One by one, she tried them all on, but she complained at each one.

"I'm just going to look ugly and in an old dress forever aren't I!?"

She lay there and sobbed into the clothes.

Tale as old as time

"Did you hear what the Master is going to be doing today?" hummed Miss Potts.

"It's going to be so romantic!" exclaimed Chip with a quirky smile.

Adam led Belle off to another part of the room and held her close to him as he guided her to a place where they could look over the room.

"Belle..."

"Yes, Adam?"

"I have... something I need to... I want to give you."

"What's that?"

"I.... I want to ask you to the ball that's coming up, and I want to give you something special."

"I would love to go with you, Adam!"

"Really!?" He smiled. "Well then. I have something for you. He pointed to the other end of the room.

"This is for you," he said.

"OH!"

"It's gorgeous!"

"Do you really like it?" he asked.

"I love it! And I can't wait to wear it!"

New Dress

I was out in the kitchen making myself something to eat when I heard utter calamity out on the shelf.

“What do you mean you LOST it!?”Aurora said in a panic. “How could you just lose a $300 dress!?”

I ran into the room as soon as I heard that number. “Three hundred dollars?” I exclaimed. “What are you talking about blondie?”

“My new dress!” she whined. “I special ordered it and these twits lost it!”

“Where did you get three hundred dollars,Aurora?” I asked.

“I charged it,” she said sheepish while wiping a tear from her face.

“To who!?”

“Well your card of course!” she stomped. “I need a new dress for that ball, and . . . Damnit I want nice things!”

“I’m going to call the bank and have them cancel the order. I’ll make you a new dress. Will that make it better?”

She cried and cried, and then she cried some more. After some silence she looked up. “Can I has a cookie too? That might make it better.”

The ball was steadily coming up, and it was getting closer to the unveiling.

[namregshelf]

Suprise, Suprise!

I found the absolute cutest thing at the Dollar Store, and I think it will solve our little knight problems.... I can't unveil it just yet, but there will be a shocking discovery at the ball, that is to be sure.

In other news, Snow White made the most fantastic apple pie this evening, and we were all a little wary to eat it as I put her movie on in the other room. Aurora looked at the pie like someone had pooped on it, but she reluctantly ate it.

It turns out that Eric is beginning to lose interest in Ariel, which, if I'm correct, I saw her crying earlier. He's starting to take a liking to Mulan... which Mulan I'm not sure, but he keeps mumbling about them. He asked me to teach him Chinese so he can say something romantic.

"Eric, you fool," I said, "I don't speak Chinese!"

"Either way, I need something romantic!"

[namregshelf]

Oh Princess!

"You will be mine!" shouted a voice this morning as I woke up for work.

I looked up at the shelf to find that Sir Nameless was once again trying to fight to get to shelf five.

He jumped atop his horse and began making his way to the bookshelf end. Somehow he made his way to shelf five, I missed how he did that exactly, but he did. He looked square into the eyes of Aurora and announced his love for her.

"You will be mine young lady! You ARE my princess! And I will fight this beast," he was referring to Phillip I think, "all day long to get to you!"

I heard Meriwether giggle, and the Mice who were dilligently working on Cindy's dress casually walked away behind Belle's dress.

"This is why I keep you up in this tower Rapunzel," said Gothel looking down as the knight bore his stance to fight Phillip.

"I know but-"

"Trust me, pet, Mother knows best!"

"I'm sorry to do this to you, little buddy," said Phillip in a booming voice. "I know you mean well, but I fought a dragon for her, and I certainly won't lose her to someone. . . well. . . someone like you."

Phillip pulled his leg back and gave a light kick, knocking Sir Nameless over.

"Curse you!" he announced.

I really need to find a solution to this little problem. Aurora's big ball is coming up, and she told me that several important guests were to be arriving, I don't want Sir Nameless to ruin any of the festivities. I need a solution.

Meanwhile, Cinderella continued to clean the bottom shelf with dilligence.

"She's not working hard enough," yelled Gothel. "Cinderella! Bring me a slice of cake, dear? I'm positively dying of hunger."

[namregshelf]

RATS!!!!

Apparently Cindy came packaged with her own vermin....

I woke up this morning to screams from everyone about the rats running around.

They've also, apparently, been STEALING things from the others to make Cinderella a nice dress for a party that Aurora is hosting soon.

I will admit that it's lovely, but I didn't have time to address the issues at hand.

"I'm late for work you guys! Deal with it yourselves!"

"Would you like me to handle it?" asked Gothel from atop the shelf as she stroked Rapunzel's hair. "Dear, sing a bit louder," she said.

"No Gothel!" I yelled. "You are not permitted to kill the rats!"

"Kill us?" asked one of them with shock.

"Don't worry dears, we'll protect you," said Flora with a smile. "You know you all really have good taste in dress making."

"But, but, but," said Meriwether, "IT'S PINK!!"

Prisoner

It had been an incredibly long day at work, and I came home to rest my feet on the couch. I was sitting there, watching Lost when suddently there was a cloud of smoke in the living room, the lights went dark, and when they came on, there, on my television stand, was a small box.

Inside was none other than the mistress of all evil things... Maleficent.

She cackled from inside her box and raised her staff with fury.

"What does she want here!?" yelled Meriwether flying instantly to the scene.

"I have come here," said Maleficent with a boom in her voice, "to take over this place. AHAHAHA!"

"Oh?" said Meriwether. "How do you plan to do it from inside there?"

"Well," announced Maleficent, "once I am free of this plastic prison, I will take over this land, and the princess shall be mine!"

"Oh no!" shouted the others.

"Maleficent," said Aurora, "WHY YOU COME TO TAKE ME AGAIN!?"

[namregshelf]

Cindy

We have a new addition to the shelf today.... Her name is Cinderella.

Being the little crack whore that she is, Gothel put her right to work cleaning the second shelf of the dust that's been accumulating due to the lack of book reading lately.....

*Cough*

I blame Belle!

"It's not right for a perfectly healthy young lady to sit around all day. She came with an apron, I thought it would be appropriate to put her to work!" Announced Gothel as she climbed down the shelf.

"Where are you always going?" I asked her.

"What was that? Mumble, mumble, mumble. I thought we talked about the mumbling!?"

"Never mind," I said putting my hand on my head. "You just do your thing then."

Introduction

When I first began my collection, I had no idea what I was getting myself into. Really, I had no way of knowing that Aurora would be a sex-deprived fiend, that Belle and Beast would live a fairly isolated life, and that Ariel was on the run from the law, I was never sure because she's never spoken since the day she came to Namreg.

Aurora is kind of the ring leader here. She likes to boss the others around, especially Phillip. Actually, she loves dressing him up in things that don't belong to him.

Like when Adam came to live with us, he was still a beast, but thanfully Belle realized her love for him and he transformed, but for some reason his beast-like head remained in one form or another.

Aurora had hours of fun playing with that.

Belle is probably the most content of our group. Living on a bookshelf is ideal for her, and she's always reading through my books trying to help with my homework. She and Adam are quite the odd couple.

And then of course there is our little Ariel, who... never... says. Anything... It's sad really, we're working on what's going on. We think she might be shy.

The only thing we know about her is that she keeps trying to kiss Eric. He won't do it though. We think he might be gay....

I forgot to mention The Knight. He doesn't have a name, but he's constantly trying to get to the third shelf to reclaim his "princess". He insists that he's on a quest to save her, and that Aurora is it! We're working on that problem too.

Also in Namreg we have the twins. They both came from different places, but we like to think they are the same.

Snow White stands ever silently, waiting for her prince to show up, we think he doesn't exist.

And the most recent additions to our shelf are Gothel and Rapunzel. Though, to be perfectly honest, we don't know much about them. As soon as Gothel arrived she stuck Rapunzel at the top of the shelf and every couple of days we hear her singing. Someday we'll know what's going on up there.

Someday....
