What if the Disney princesses had email?



I lead a couple of monthly writing group where I give assignments. Last month's assignment was to write a letter from one fictional character to another. Breana English decided to take it in a different direction and presented us with a series of emails from some of Disney's favorite characters. I enjoyed it so much, I asked her if I could share it with all of you. I hope you find it to be as much fun as I did!

Sleeping Beauty's Castle by Andrew Schmidt



Subject: Curse was broken!!

Hi girls!

 

So, did I miss anything while I was asleep?

Aurora


Aurora, 

Did you ever! Turns out the beast I was staying with was a handsome prince living under a curse. Who would have thought?
             
Snow’s had another change of address, but you’ll have to get it from her. I can’t remember it. Cinderella lost her shoe, and Ariel’s found herself a new man. Jasmine’s been grounded again, so I haven’t heard from her for a while.
 

Belle
 
Subject: Ha!
 
Belle,
 
Don’t think you have anyone fooled. We all know why you agreed to take your dad’s place.
 
Ariel

Subject: Mind your own beeswax
 
Ariel,
 
I don’t know what you’re talking about.

Subject: So romantic!
 

Belle,

Weelll, someone living in a place that beautiful had to be at least an earl, right? But you’ve both fallen in love and will live happily ever after, so it all turned out for the best! True love conquers all.

 

Cinderella xxoo
 

P.S. Has anyone found my glass slipper yet?

Cinderella,
 

So not true.
  
Nope. Have you checked the trash? Maybe it broke.

Ariel, 
 

Well, you can hardly talk. How’s that kiss coming? Prince-what’s-his-name puckered up yet?
 

Belle
 

P.S. What is his name, anyway?


Subject: WHAT?
 

Ariel,    
             
You underwent a major surgery for this guy and you don’t even know his name??

Subject: Re: WHAT?

Belle,

 

It’s not like I can exactly ask him, now can I? Besides, didn’t you think Adam’s name was ‘Beast’ for, like, the first year you knew him?
 

Ariel

Subject: So Romantic!
 

Ariel,
 

Maybe you could try writing to him? But don’t worry. Snow still doesn’t know her prince’s name, and they have the most romantic story ever!
 

Cinderella  xxooo

    1. That's what I thought when Breana read it in class! I'm so glad she let me share it. I thought you moms with young kids would appreciate it!
