Sleeping Beauty: Book 1 Chapter 2

Verse 1
Can't a girl get some rest?

Yet Sleeping Beauty could not sleep.

According to her tale, she has slept for a century.

"Just leave me alone!

Leave me to my bed and my dreams!"

But the nightmares did not heed her.

They blocked her sweet dreams.

"This isn't fair."

Why wouldn't they leave her alone?

...Zzzz.

Wake up or die! You don't wanna die, do ya?

I'm sleepy...I'll sleep...when I want to.

You hear that? So unmotivated!

Hey... I'm done fighting, so can I sleep now?

Verse 2
Battle won, she fell asleep, sinking into the deep waters of her dreams...

Verse 3
People ask what true happiness is.

I simply tell them...sleep.

Verse 4
A fluffy pillow, silken sheets...

With those, I would care for little else, spinning wheel or not!

Verse 5
All my friends are in my dreams, as are all my favorite foods.

In slumber, it's all real!

Verse 6
Work all day, sleep a bit, only to work some more?

That's no way to live!

Verse 7
If I revive my author I could be rid of that prince, and finally sleep uninterrupted.

Verse 8
Ah, so tired...

Yes, my dreams call to me...

Verse 9
...

...

...*Snore*...

Verse 10
...

...

Mmmmm...

"Get up.

Something's causing a racket."

She had no choice but to open her eyes.

There, before her, a nightmare formed.

Torn from her dreams, anger welled up in her drowsy heart.

It was such a nice nap, too...

Why won't you let me sleep?!

Now you've done it! She's getting angry!

Shut up! I'll kill you all!

She shredded and tore at that pesky intruder, eventually closing her eyes once more.

"Finally...Peace and quiet...

At last, I can go back to sleep."

...And yet she could not.

Not until she defeated every nightmare.

Not until she revived her author.

Poor, poor little princess, who longed only to sleep.

Her eyes half open, she shuffled forward.

Discordant Poem
Is there anything better than sleep?

None that I can think of.

Sleep is bliss! My one true desire...

Who can blame me for flipping out on them?

Wouldn't you be mad, being woken up so rudely?

I know!

Hot milk and honey will do the trick.

That always makes me sleepy!
