Long ago Princess Nanami and Queen Shannon lived in a forest. Princess Nanami and Queen Shannon were dressing up. It was fun.

"Queen Shannon?" Princess Nanami asked.

"Yes," said Queen Shannon.
"I know you look pretty."

Queen Shannon told Princess Nanami she wanted to go to the park and then she wanted to walk.

"Okay," said Princess Nanami.

"Now let’s go to the park," said Queen Shannon.

"I want to go with you," said Princess Nanami.

"Alright," said Queen Shannon.

"I love you so much," said Queen Shannon.

"Thank you," said Princess Nanami.

"We are here!" said Queen Shannon. "I want to swing."

"After that let’s go on the slide," said Princess Nanami. "Let’s rock and roll."

"It is fun," said Queen Shannon.

"It is," said Princess Nanami.

An oni was in the grass.

"Uh-oh," said Princess Nanami.

"The Queen Shannon is in big trouble," said Princess Nanami. "Maybe the oni took the Queen Shannon."

"Oh my gosh," said Princess Nanami. "I need to rescue the Queen. I need the birds to help me."

"Tweet! Tweet!"

"We have an emergency! Come on!" said Princess Nanami.

"Tweet! Tweet!

"What's that?" the oni said.

"That's my friends," said Queen Shannon. "They are trying to rescue me."

"Let's rescue her, " said Princess Nanami.

They put some fire on the oni.
"Ouch!" said the oni.

The oni ran away and never came back again.
