 Chapter Two by Pretty SUE

Kevnet Kev & Sue   

There lives a frog named Kev, yonder, on the pond in the castle courtyard. At first glance, he seems to be an ordinary frog, but inside his heart, he knew he was different, destined.

As far as frogs go, Kev was very cute and cuddly, he had a special quality to him, He was soft like a teddy bear, he had a heart as big as a balloon, and as warm as winter furnace. He had a cute tiny cherry mouth, so that he would always speak softly. And he even smelled like vanilla, NATURALLY!!!

The princess was a very fine lady indeed.  She seemingly had it all, surrounded by many wonderful things. Surrounded by successful friends, surrounded by expectations, In fact she was so surrounded that she felt trapped, as if in a cage.  Princess Sue, found herself very lonely and empty inside, she searched the entire kingdom for anything that would fulfill her longing, to find her dream. 

In despair, she goes to the pond to escape the madness, and to find peace, but truthfully she hopes someone will hear her dreams, across the pond….

Kev’s days are spent diligently routine, yet, loyal to his dream, he longed for more.  He knew that all he wanted was out there, somewhere on the pond. Perhaps even beyond. Kev goes to the pond to admire the simple beauty, and to find a purpose for it all. In his steady deliberate pace, he doesn’t take anything for granted, the smell of the flowers, the trees, the sounds of the birds and the bees.

Kev has found he likes be close to Pretty Sue, to bask in her beauty.  She smells sweet as the honey winds of spring. And he just knows her kisses would taste as sweet, after all this is just a dream, and the pond is the place you can let your dreams fly.

Suddenly, he is awaken from his dream by a bright shinning light, it was her, Pretty Sue, Her EYES were like DIAMONDS reflecting off the pond. Just as suddenly, she noticed Kev admiring her from afar; the gaze turned into a stare, she felt a strange comfort in that glance, she knelt down to take a closer look. She could feel his warmth, she could feel his passion. She was overcome by an intense desire to WHAT, what was she thinking was she going crazy? What could a frog possibly offer her????

If this is a dream, then what is this feeling? Why does it feel so good? Why can’t it be real? Why can’t it be forever?  Most importantly Sue realizes SHE is the only one that can make her dream come true.  She reaches out gently and takes Kev into her embrace, and looking that frog right in the face.
