Princess A stepped into the castle garden at dusk. A butterfly with shimmering wings landed on her finger. She gasped softly.
Elsa appeared with a lantern. 'Time for bed,' she said, her voice warm. The young girl took her hand.
They followed Elsa inside. Big Elephant tried the tiny bed. It squeaked and wobbled. The young girl giggled.
They snuggled under soft blankets. Crickets chirped. Leaves whispered outside the window. But she bit her lip, feeling restless.
Elsa began a story about magical adventures. Floating dream-lights filled the room. They swirled into dragons and castles.
She reached out, brushing the cool light. It settled into a gentle lullaby. Slowly, her eyelids grew heavy.
At last she drifted to sleep, curled beside Elsa and Big Elephant. Moonlight cast a silver glow through the window.
She smiled in her dreams. Her breathing was slow and steady. Tomorrow, new adventures awaited.
