Once upon a time in a kingdom far away there lived a royal family with a fair and beautiful daughter...

Their daughter’s name 

is Princess Poppy!

Princess Poppy loved to live her days in the forest with her trusty steed Stella and her nights baking for the castle staff.

One day Princess Poppy was taking her daily stroll with Stella through the forest when she stumbled upon a hidden path she had never gone down before.

Poppy and Stella decided they must explore this new adventure set before them. They began down the mysterious veiny and leafy path. Further down the path they heard voices.

The voices were coming from high atop a castle tower. Stella nudged Poppy towards the castle almost like saying yell up to 

the voices.

Poppy yelled up to the tower “is someone there?” and heard a sweet man’s response. The man said, “hello my name is Prince Phillip”. Poppy answered back with “hi my name is Princess Poppy you should come down and we can meet face to face”. 

Prince Phillip proclaimed that he can’t come down until a princess saves him from the terrifying height of the castle and the ferocious dog by the tower window.

Poppy being the strong independent princess that she is decided she had to save this poor Prince. Poppy decided that to distract the dog she would bring a snack

from Stella’s pouch. 

After grabbing the 

snack, Poppy began climbing the tower.

Once, Poppy reached the top she gave the dog who didn’t seem at all intimidating the snack. The Prince welcomed Poppy into his castle and thanked her for risking her life for his. 

Poppy said, “of course now why don’t we climb down or find a door to the outside world”. Phillip was hesitant about agreeing to this part of the saving. He has lived above the world in secret his whole life and leaving although would be nice scares him.
