This story begins a few years ago… Even before Isabella was born… There was a big party in a magical kingdom! It was a very special party, because it was to celebrate the birth of Princess Aurora! The princess was the daughter of the king and queen of the kingdom, who had been waiting for many years to have a child. And now, finally, she was here!
Many fairies came to the party. They were beautiful, with sparkly wings and magical wands. They gave Princess Aurora the best gifts! Intelligence, kindness, and humility were some of the gifts! But one of the fairies wasn't very nice. She gave Princess Aurora a curse! The princess would prick her finger on a spindle when she became an adult and die.
Everyone in the kingdom was happy, because they couldn't take away the gifts the fairies had already given. But then, a funny little fairy arrived late! This fairy was so funny and tiny! She laughed a lot and danced around! And she did something magical! She changed the curse! The princess would still prick her finger on a spindle, but she wouldn't die! Instead, she would fall asleep forever until she received a kiss from her true love.
Years went by and no one in the kingdom used spindles anymore. They learned to sew with sticks and threads! The princess needed to be protected! But when she was a teenager, she found a spindle. She had never seen a spindle before! It looked so easy to use! She decided to try it, and *bam!* she pricked her finger! The curse had come true! Princess Aurora and the whole kingdom fell into a deep sleep for many, many years!
It was at this moment that Isabella entered the story! One day, while playing in her secret hideout, Dream Island, with her toys, she met a kind-looking young man. He was sitting on a big, fluffy cloud, looking very sad.
"Hello," Isabella said, giving him a big smile. She loved making new friends. She especially loved making new friends in her dreamland!
"Hello, little one," the young man said, looking at Isabella's beautiful, blonde wavy hair. "My name is Prince Julian. I'm from another kingdom, but I'm on a very important mission."
"A mission?" Isabella's green eyes widened. "What kind of mission?"
"I need to find a princess who is sleeping in an enchanted kingdom. She's been sleeping for many years, and I'm the only one who can wake her up."
"Wow!" Isabella said, jumping up and down. "That sounds like a really big adventure! Can I come with you?"
Prince Julian smiled at Isabella. "I don't know if it's a good idea for a little girl to go on an adventure like this. It's dangerous!"
"Don't worry," Isabella said, with a playful twinkle in her eyes. "I'm not just any little girl! I have a superpower. I can bring toys to life!"
"That's amazing!" Prince Julian said, astonished. "Well, if you can bring toys to life, then maybe you can help me wake up the princess!"
"I'd love to!" Isabella said, her smile as bright as the sun. "Let's go on an adventure!"
Isabella loved adventures, especially in enchanted kingdoms. Prince Julian took Isabella's hand, and they flew off to the enchanted kingdom. They flew on a beautiful rainbow, which was just like a giant roller coaster ride! It was so much fun!
When they arrived, the castle was covered in leaves! A huge forest had grown around it over the years that had passed!
"Wow," Isabella said, staring at the castle. "It looks like a giant jungle!"
Prince Julian nodded. "It's going to be hard to reach the tower where the princess is sleeping."
"But we can do it," Isabella said, giving him a thumbs-up. "We can use my superpower!"
They discussed a plan. They would use Isabella's superpower to make the leaves and branches move out of the way, so they could reach the castle tower.
So they started their journey. It was very exciting! The flowers sprouted thorns out of nowhere! The tree trunks moved and blocked their paths! They even had to fight some scary, monstrous creatures! But Isabella used her superpower to help! She brought her toys to life! They helped them fight the creatures and move the thorns and tree trunks out of the way.
When they finally reached the castle, Prince Julian took Isabella's hand. "Let's go!" he said.
They went straight to the tower. There she was! Princess Aurora!
Prince Julian took a deep breath and kissed Princess Aurora's lips.
And as if by magic, Princess Aurora and the entire kingdom awoke!
Slowly, the forest around the castle began to disappear, and everything became bright and enchanted once again!
Princess Aurora was so happy! She was happy to be awake and to meet Prince Julian, her true love!
"Thank you, Isabella," Princess Aurora said, giving Isabella a big hug. "You helped us all! I love your superpower!"
"I love your castle! And I also love dolls!" Isabella said, beaming.
"You can come and play whenever you want!" Princess Aurora said, her eyes sparkling.
"I'd love that!" Isabella said. "I'll come visit you whenever my imagination wanders to the enchanted kingdom!"
And on that day, Isabella knew she would live happily ever after!
