Once upon a time, there was a girl. A girl that lived in a castle. Her name was Emberly. Her mother's name was Courtney. Her father's name was Ronald.

However, Emberly has a secret that she doesn't dare tell her parents. Do you want to hear it? Well...okay. Her parents told her to marry a man when she was 20 years old, and Emberly is already 19. But, Emberly doesn't want to get married and be a queen, she wants to be a warrior. So every night, she gets out of her bed and tiptoes to the forest to practice with her sword.

The next day...

Aaaaand Emberly is gone again. What is up with her?

*YAWN* Something with Emberly again?🙄

Yep.😒

Later...

*footsteps*

Uh oh, mom is coming. You guys hide.

Emberly, why are you here? You should be feeding the chickens! Me and your dad have to make breakfast! You should know that! Now go feed the chickens.

Okay, mom.

Here. *sigh*😶

The next day...

Sweetheart! Today is your birthday! You're 20!😀

Really? ALREADY?!!😥

Yes! Me and your mom will make a cake for you in the kitchen. We will call you when we are ready!😊

So we got all of the things ready, and let's start baking!!

What should I do, what should I do? I just knew that this will happen someday! Wait...I remember that store that sells time machines! I could go there!😐

TIME MACHINE STORE 

Later...

There it is!

Hello there! Which time machine do you want to buy?

I want to buy the rocket one. How much does it cost?

That one cost $25.

Here. And how do you use it?

Oh! It's simple. Just go inside and first press any red button. Then, press any blue button, and press the check, then the rocket will do the rest.😁

😪😴

YOU HAVE REACHED TEXAS. PLEASE GET OFF.

Huh?!! WHO'S THERE? Oh. It's just the siren. What, what?!! I'm in Texas already? That was fast! So I have to get off...

WOW! The rain is pouring, and I turned five! So, I just have to act like I'm five to mom and dad. I feel so weird...

Now it stopped raining. Oh! There's my house!😕

Okay, just act normal, and be like a 5-year-old girl...😑

You must be Emberly. Your parents are really worried about you. Please come in. 😯

Breath in, *whoo*...and breath out, *whoo*. *KNOCK KNOCK*

...Emberly?

Is that...

Oh, Emberly, we were worried sick! Where have you been?😄

*hugs*

3 months later...

Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you!

Happy birthday dear...

...ME!

*in whisper voice* Okay, so... I have to get out of here, or else my mom and dad will get very worried. But I have to sneak out.🙁

But then, Emberly thought about her parents right now. They must be worried sick! So, Emberly decided to go back...

Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday dear Emberly, happy birthday to you!🎈🎉

Um...I want to go outside, and...and...um, and go and play with my...dolls!😅

*whew*

Wait. Why do I have to keep my secret just to me? I could just tell my parents that I want to be a warrior, not a queen! So now I just have to back to my time rocket. Where is it? Ugh!!! I forgot that I put my rocket on one of those mountains!

So I'll just have to build a little raft.

Done!

AHHHHH!!!😲

Who in the world is that?!!🤨

How do you think I know??🙄

Guys, I think we need to go because our captain is going to yell at...😐

COME BACK HERE, YOU PIRATES!!!

...us.😒

You coming, Stella?😶

You guys can go without me. I'll catch up.😉

Fine with me. See you later!😏

Hmm. Who is she? Well, I'll find out, so I will have to carry her into the ship.🤔

*snores*

Um, captain, what do we do with her? I saw her lying on an island.

Hmm...well, put her on a bed first, and I'll see what I can do.😟

Well, I'll just go and see where we are.

Wait...*gasp* Oh no!! The ship is sinking!! Quick, call the captain!!

Okay, okay!!

Captain, the ship is sinking!! Quick, follow me!!😮

Okay!

Look, water is getting in!!😰

Robert, go and fetch some wood. Stella, warn everybody that the ship is sinking. Go!🙁

Got it, captain!

Got it!

Hey, Derick! Wake up! The ship is SINKING!!

Hmm? Wait, what?! REALLY?? AHHHHHH!!

RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!😲😲😲

*sigh* Now what do we do with her?😕🤔

Umm...hi? Hi. HI!! WAKE UP, WILL YOU?😤

Hmm? Where am I? AND WHO ARE YOU?!!

I'm Stella, and I'm a pirate. I woke you up, because, well...OUR SHIP IS SINKING!!!😲

WAIT, WHAT?!! WHERE?!😨

It's here! Follow me!

😧😧

Down there!

Do you have any ideas on how to fix it?

NO!!! I'm only --wait no, 5!

Don't worry, I'm here!

There! All patched up!

So. What's your name, why are you here, how did you get here.

Er... Well, my name is Emberly, and... Okay, I'm gonna tell you the truth, but please don't freak out. Okay??

Ooookay.
