Chapter 3 “The Sugar Plum Princess Arrives! Happily Ever After”

Word Count: 2.6k

Upon entering the castle you notice several guards pass by. You aren't too worried since they're children but you're more concerned about getting placed in the dungeon. The boys must be around here somewhere. You try finding a door that is heavily guarded. None so far. The guards are mainly patrolling the area. Eventually you find two guards standing in front of a large wooden door. They have swords and spears. They're toy soldiers and seem to be bored. You walk up to both of them with a plan ready.

"There you two are. The king has been asking for the both of you. He says that if you're not there within five minutes that he will be sure to turn you two in worms!" You said sternly.

Both guards gasp in horror and run off. Smiling to yourself you grab the keys hanging on the wall nearby. The door isn't locked so the keys must be to their shackles. All three are inside the wooden prison.

"Nutcracker!" You run up to Yugi giving him a hug. Yugi couldn't help hugging you back.

"You're safe." He said.

"You're here to save us!" Joey says.

"Good job! How did you get here?" Asked Tristan.

"The fairies helped me! They flew me here. We better hurry!"

"I think the rat king started a bonfire." Joey said.

"That's right. He was planning to burn me alive." Yugi said.

"Yeah the king wanted to use him as an example." Joey said.

"We better hurry before the guards arrive." Tristan said.

You unlock everyone's shackles. Everyone began running down the hallways toward the castle gates. It was easy sneaking past the guards. Many of them were gathered by the large bonfire. The rat king was giving everyone commands as his guards were filling the large bonfire with wood. Yugi became angered noticing many citizens from Toy Land and Gingerbread Village. They were all in chains.

"Is this any way to treat the people of Parthenia?!" Yugi grabs his attention.

The rat king hissed at Yugi. Your courageous nutcracker drew his sword and pointed it directly in the air.

"Your reign ends today!" Yugi said.

You and the others assist in helping the people escape from their shackles. Yugi fought the rat king. While they duel you and Joey explain how the rat king has been transforming the children into his toy army. All the worried mothers became horrified. All fight left the soldiers as they try finding their parent in the chaos. The king transformed his magical scepter into a hatchet. He began swinging at Yugi who blocked every attack. He managed to graze the rats ear causing him to hiss. Their duel continued. The rat king was beginning to get irritated so he used his magic to make himself grow five times larger. He then casted a fire spell on the bonfire.

"No..!!" You shout.

Yugi was able to block the kings harsh attacks but it proved to only avoid the inevitable. He was simply out matched by the king's large size. The king laughed as he gave his finishing blow. Yugi was knocked into the concrete base where the bonfire was held in. His leg and arms are broken. Unfortunately his wooden face is slightly chipped from the kings hatchet weapon. Everyone gasped. You run over to Yugi standing in front of him protectively. The king was about to blast the nutcracker with his magic.

"You're nothing but a coward! You hide behind the magic scepter..!" You yell.

The rat king hissed at you. A verbal threat in his language no less. You notice a shield nearby and pick it up before the rat king can hit you with his magic. Yugi screamed your name in worry. The shield was enough to reflect his magic. It shot his scepter out of his hand. This caused him to turn back to his normal size. You run over to the scepter shield in hand. The rat king scowled as he barred his jagged teeth hoping to bite at you before you reach his scepter. You manage to grab the scepter first. You block his bite with his own scepter causing his teeth to shatter. Everyone cheered you on except for Yugi who is hoping you'll win unharmed. The rat king fell to the ground clutching his mouth in pain. He was screeching loudly.

"It's over rat king..!!" You throw his scepter to the ground breaking it.

The rat king began screaming as he held his hand out. The scepter released its magic sucking up all the magic out of the rat king. He shrunk down to the size of a normal rat. He screamed in fright at the angry mob of mothers chasing him with their brooms and rolling pins. All the children returned back to normal, the bonfire disappeared revealing a beautiful water fountain, and from the snow globe of the scepter revealed purple smoke. It revealed someone had been trapped inside it! A regal someone. A man with spiky red hair and red eyes he looked much like the crown prince. His outfit is a crown with a red cape. His outfit suited his regal title.

"King Atem!!" The townspeople cheered.

"Long live the king!" All the children chant.

"Atem you're alive!!!" Joey shouts running over to the the king. He hugged him sparking laughter.

You run over to Yugi not caring if the king was back. All that matters to you right now is your beloved nutcracker. You sit beside him placing your hand on his face.

"Yugi.." You teared up. "You're still a nutcracker."

"The rat king cursed me.." Yugi said sadly. "I wasn't strong enough to defeat him or protect you.. I'm sorry."

"No Yugi you've always given it your all. You're my brave nutcracker." You kiss Yugi's cheek.

Suddenly his body began glowing. His eyes widened and he began transforming back to normal. No more was he made of wood or have the appearance of an adorably goofy nutcracker. He's changed into a handsome prince! He wore a regal button up lavender top with long sleeves, tight black pants, and boots. His wild hair was reminiscent of the style he had as a nutcracker only it was wilder. His bright lavender eyes are confident and drawn with guy liner. You had a transformation of your own. Your body began glowing pink as well. The pink magic dust surrounds you as it encases your night gown in its sparkling beauty. You're given a ballerina outfit and a tiara matching your heart shaped necklace. Your hair is done beautifully and covered in pink dust from your magic much like your tutu.

Your magic then covered the entire castle transforming it back to normal. Everything was so bright and welcoming. You look over yourself in confusion. Yugi knew exactly what happened the moment he saw your transformation.

"Don't you understand? You're the sugar plum princess! Your magic broke the curse! You were the sugar plum princess all along!" Yugi spoke excitedly as he held both your hands.

"I am? But I didn't do anything. I'm just a normal girl." You said.

"Of course you're the sugar plum princess! Your courage saved everyone from the rat king, you rescued us from the dungeon, you broke my curse, and most importantly you broke all the mouse kings enchantments." Yugi held your hands in a comforting manner. "You did it all by yourself!" Yugi praised.

"Not all by myself.. I wasn't alone on my journey." You blushed.

Yugi became bashful too. He couldn't help kissing your hand. King Atem walked up to the both of you.

"Yugi I see you found the sugar plum princess. You saved the kingdom, thank you." Atem said.

"I'm so glad you're alive. I never would've guessed you were trapped inside the scepter this entire time. It's thanks to Y/n we're all safe." Yugi placed a hand on your back.

"I take it you're ready to take your place as king? I must return to Toy Land and rule over there." Atem said since he knew his rule was temporary until Yugi came of age.

"Yes I'm ready to take on the responsibilities as long as my people want me." Yugi searched around.

Tristan and Joey are first to cheer him on. The rest of the townsfolk join in cheering on the crowned prince. Atem places his crown on Yugi.

"Are you two related?" You ask.

"Yes we are cousins." Yugi said.

"I had a feeling." You said.

Atem kisses your hand.

"Thank you for taking care of Yugi and returning our kingdom to us." He said in gratitude.

You nod with a light blush. Yugi then stole your hand away. He gave his cousin a disapproving look. Atem grinned then went over to the citizens of Toy Land. You looked into Yugi's eyes.

"Y/n will you be my queen and help me rule this kingdom?" He asked as he kneeled down on one knee. His question surprised you at first. You then smile in confirmation.

"I'd be honored to be your queen." You answered bashfully.

Yugi stood up and kissed you. Everyone watching applauds the both of you.

"Would you like to dance, my queen?" Yugi held out his arm for you to grab.

"I think that's a wonderful idea." You reply.

The both of you got into your positions then began dancing. You danced as a ballerina while Yugi held you and spun you. He made sure to catch you when you leaped. It all came to you naturally. It shows by how you danced along with Yugi. You two danced in front of the fountain for all to see. Everyone watched as you two danced. When you two ended the dance Yugi kissed you again. Again everyone applauded. They threw flowers and began chanting.

"Long live the king and queen!"

While you and Yugi were waving to the crowd the dethroned rat king had some fight left in him. He was still small but he was riding on the back of a bat. It flew towards you. The rat snatched your heart shaped locket necklace. It squeaked with laughter as it opened the locket.

"You cowardly rat!" Tristan yelled.

"Yugi!" Atem yelled as he ran toward the newly crowned king.

The snow fairies returned and weren't about to let the rat get away with this. They formed snowballs with their magic aiming at the bat. One managed to hit their target. The bat faints from the hit causing it to fall midair. The rat screeched as it fell from the sky. The locket necklace in his hand disappeared. You began fading away.

"Yugi!" You cried.

"My love please don't go! You're supposed to be my queen..!" Yugi held out his hand for you.

"Yugi..!"

Shortly you disappear from the magic of the locket. You fade you away. Yugi began crying.

"Y/n please... I love you.." Yugi buried his face in his hand as he sunk to the ground in despair. Atem went to his side to comfort him.

❤️🧚🏻🎄🎁✨❤️

The grandfather clock in the living room rang. You awoke on the couch in a panic. The living room was still messy from when you last saw it. Your eyes watered looking for your nutcracker.

"Was it just a dream..?" You wept.

You began crying. How could it all be a dream? It felt so real.

"Yugi..."

You frantically look for your precious nutcracker. He's no where to be seen. In your Christmas tree your fairy ornament Anzu is watching you. She waves her wand. She knew your tears wouldn't be long. She then smiled looking over to the door.

"Don't worry my friend. You'll get your happy ending." She winks.

Her magic struck the door and the Christmas tree. The pretty lights looked so beautiful to you. It managed to cheer you up slightly. Your tears dried up. Your uncle walks in to see the mess.

"I see the mice had a party." He huffed.

"Merry Christmas, uncle." You give him a hug still feeling saddened by your dream.

Your uncle hugs you back but didn't realize you were sad. The need for a hug was strong. Your brother ran into the room looking forward to the presents.

"Don't you open those presents! We are opening them after breakfast is ready." Your uncle says.

Your brother nods in disappointment and sits by the fireplace to play with his toys. You're still concerned about your nutcracker. Maybe he is in the gift box he came in. Your aunt Mai walks in but she seems to be talking to someone. She wears a pink gown today. Her hair is down and her makeup is done.

"And here is the place I grew up in. This living room was where I played a lot." Mai said.

"Who are you talking to?" Your uncle asks.

"Everyone allow me to introduce you to a very special guest. Meet Yugi the son of the emperor who is a dear friend of mine." She waved her arm.

In walked Yugi who is wearing a black suit and purple tie. He looked positively handsome. He looked over to you and his face lit up. He took your hand and kissed it.

"It's very nice to meet you, sweetheart." He said.

Your eyes brightened at the nickname. Admiration filled your eyes while Yugi had a blush covering his face. Your protective uncle wasn't happy.

"Such familiarity!" Your uncle huffed.

"I think it would be nice to have prince Yugi stay for dinner today. He'll have much to tell about his travels." Mai said.

"I think it's a wonderful idea." You said.

Your uncle didn't want to decline any of your desires so he hesitantly agreed. Your brother was dragged to the dining room with Mai. Your brother whines while your uncle pushes him. Mai wanted her niece to have as much alone time with the prince as possible.

"Yugi..." You smile.

"Yes my queen?" He holds out his arm for you to link.

"Merry Christmas." You smiled.

"Merry Christmas, sweetheart. Here this is for you." Yugi hands you a heart shaped locket necklace from his pocket. It was the same one Anzu gave you.

"Where did you find this?" You gasp.

"It was on my dresser. I'm glad I held onto it. I didn't realize I'd be meeting a princess today." Yugi rubbed the back of his head bashfully.

Your mouth dropped. You then look over to Anzu on the Christmas tree. Her eyes shine causing you to smile. You've never been so happy looking at an ornament before. You put the necklace back on then link your arm with Yugi.

"Care to dance?" He suggests.

"I can't decline the king." You said.

Yugi chuckles in agreement. You two head over to your uncles huge study. On the desk is a big pink snow globe. Inside it was the sugar plum princess dancing with her king. You and Yugi look it over with a fond smile. Yugi hugs you from behind. A gift from your beloved fairy friend Anzu no less. Yugi took your hand leading you to the "dance floor" where he eagerly grabbed both your hands. He held your hands firmly with a gentle smile. You remember this look. You both lean in for a kiss.

"I missed you my queen."

"I missed you too my king."

You both then began dancing together as though you were inside a ballroom. You two were never separated again. As Anzu said you got your happy ending.
