Planning Summer Rain a Birthday Party

"And so for eight long years, the whereabouts of the princess remained a mystery, while deep in the forest, in a woodcutter's cottage, the Three Princesses carried out their well-laid plan. Living like mortals, they had reared the girl as their own and called her Summer Rain."

Looking out the window, Summer Rain hummed a lovely tune called "I Wonder," attracting many bluebirds. For eight years, her hair had grown longer, and her eyes became a chocolate brown color, though she still had her tan skin and chubby figure. A pair of white panties was set between her legs and fastened at her waist. Tucked in her hair on the left side of her head was a big pink flower that complemented her outfit - a red muumuu dress that touched her feet and with short sleeves and white patterned leaves - which went well with the dark blue sandals covering her feet. She was indeed beautiful. As she hummed a tune, she closed the shutters to her window and walked away.

"On this her eighth birthday, the Three Princesses had planned a party and something extra special for her surprise."

Elsa, Anna, and Rapunzel were downstairs looking over a book of dresses, picking something out to make for Summer Rain, who is actually Lilo Pelekai. By the time the day is over, they can finally tell her that she was a princess.

"Well, now about this one?" asked Rapunzel, as they look over the book. And they found the perfect one.

"This is the one I picked." said Elsa.

"Oh, she'll look beautiful in that!" Anna smiled.

"Now I thought of a few changes here..." said Elsa.

"Uh-huh." said Rapunzel.

In the book, the Three Princesses found a mint-turquoise dress similar to Princess Rosalina's dress.

"Don't forget a pretty brooch." said Anna.

"Yes, and we'll frill the shoulder line." said Elsa.

"We'll make it teal." said Rapunzel.

Elsa giggled. "Oh no, silly, red."

"But..." Rapunzel began.

"How about mint-turquoise?" suggested Anna.

"Of course, we'll need a pair of shoes and lighter-colored bloomers to match..." said Elsa.

"Yes, but how are we going to get her out of the house?" asked Rapunzel.

"Oh, I'll think of something." said Elsa.

Of course, they didn't know that Summer Rain walked down the stairs and into the living room and heard them.

"Well!" Summer Rain smiled.

Elsa, Anna, and Rapunzel hid the book from the girl's eyes as she walked towards them. "And what are you three dears up to?"

"Up to?" repeated Rapunzel.

"Up to?" repeated Anna.

"Up to?" repeated Elsa.

"Eh, eh, eh, we, we, well, we, we ..." stuttered Elsa, as she tried to say something. Summer Rain continued to stare at the girls with a lovely smile. And she doesn't know that she was a princess and her real name was Lilo.

As Elsa tried to think of something, Rapunzel spoke for her. "Want you to pick some berries." she finished.

"That's it, berries!" said Elsa, as she handed Summer Rain a red cloak with a hood and a decorative button at the neck and showed her to the door in a quick manner, leaving her confused about what was going on.

"Berries?" said a confused Summer Rain, as she put on the cloak, buttoned it up, and put up the hood.

"Lots of berries!" said Anna, as she, Elsa, and Rapunzel escorted her out the door.

"But I only picked berries yesterday." said Summer Rain.

"Oh, we need more, dear." said Elsa.

"Lots, lots, more!" added Anna.

"Yes!" said Elsa.

Then the girls pushed Summer Rain out of the cottage through the front door. She looked back with a suspicious look and smile on her face. Something's not right with them.

"Now hurry back, dear." said Elsa.

"And don't go too far." said Rapunzel.

"And don't speak to strangers." added Elsa.

"Goodbye, dear!" called Anna.

"Goodbye!" called Rapunzel.

"Goodbye!" called Elsa.

"Goodbye!" said Summer Rain, as she waved goodbye and walked off deep into the forest, carrying the basket in her hand.

Then the girls closed the door and got back inside. "I wonder if she suspects." said Rapunzel thoughtfully.

"Of course not, come on. Will she be surprised!" said Elsa, as they went around the room, gathering things. Elsa went to the trunk and took out multiple red fabrics and sheets as Anna went into the kitchen to find ingredients to make the birthday cake. All three are very excited. "A real birthday party!" said Rapunzel.

"With a real birthday cake!" said Anna.

"Yes, and a dress a princess can be proud of!" said Elsa.

"I'll get the wands." said Rapunzel, as she headed up the stairs.

"Yes, you...the wands?" said Elsa. But she was startled when Rapunzel mentioned the wands and closed the trunk quickly.

"Oh no!" gasped Anna, who was also startled.

"No wands, Rapunzel!" Elsa warned.

"But the five years are almost over" Rapunzel protested.

"We're taking no chances." said Elsa, as she handed Rapunzel the fabrics for making the dress.

"But, I've never baked a fancy cake." said Rapunzel.

"Oh, you won't have to, dear." said Elsa

"I'm going to bake the cake!" Anna called from the next room.

"You?" asked Rapunzel, who was kind of surprised.

"She's always wanted to, dear, and this is her last chance." said Elsa.

"Well,..." said Rapunzel, who was not so sure about Anna cooking.

"I'm going to make it seven layers with red and white, daisies, roses..." said Anna, as she thought about what to put on the cake.

"And I'm making the dress." said Elsa.

"But you can't sew, and she's never cooked!" said Rapunzel.

"Oh, it's simple." chuckled Elsa.

"All you do is follow the book." said Anna.

Elsa pulled out a small stool and directed Rapunzel to stand on it. "Up here, dear. You can be the dummy." she said.

"Well, I still say we ought to use magic." said Rapunzel.

Then Elsa threw a sheet of red cloth over Rapunzel and began cutting with a pair of scissors.

Then Anna laid all the ingredients for the cake before her. She looked into the book and read the ingredient instructions. "Flour, three cups." said Anna, as she searched for them, muttering, "Cups, cups, cups, cups, cups..." At that moment, Anna realized that the three cups of different sizes were already on the table and used them to pour flour into the bowl. "One, two, three."

Elsa cut a circular hole into the sheet. "What's that for?" asked Rapunzel.

"Well, it's got to have a hole in the bottom." replied Elsa.

"That's for the feet to go through." added Anna.

Then Elsa tossed the sheet over Rapunzel again, and Rapunzel noticed there was something wrong with the sheet. "It's red!" said Rapunzel.

"Oh, lovely shade, isn't it?" Elsa smiled.

"But I wanted it teal!" complained Rapunzel.

"Now, dear, we decided red was her color." said Elsa, flatteringly.

"You decided?" asked Rapunzel.

Elsa giggled to herself as she left Rapunzel inside the sheet and went over to get tape measure. Rapunzel mumbled incoherently until Elsa came back with the tape measure and wrapped some around the waist.

"Two eggs, fold in gently." said Anna, reading from the book. But she didn't understand what fold in meant. "Fold? Oh well." Anna shrugged, and she just put two eggs into the bowl and folded them in. She pressed down on the batter, and she heard the shells cracking, causing the batter to overflow from the bowl.

Now Rapunzel was completely covered in the red cloth from head to toe. "I can't breathe!" she called, whose voice was muffled under the sheets. Elsa cut the cloth open at the top, and Rapunzel popped her head and arms out and took a look at the dress from the inside. "It looks awful!" Rapunzel complained.

"That's because it's on you, dear." said Elsa, cutting the remaining cloth from the right side.

"Now yeast, one tsp. Tsp?" said Anna, looking into the book. This time, she didn't understand what the word Tsp meant.

"One teaspoon!" Rapunzel corrected her.

"One teaspoon, of course!" Anna giggled sheepishly. She put the yeast on the teaspoon and finished adding the rest of the ingredients to the batter.

Then Elsa measured the size of the dress. "Oh, gracious how the child has grown!' she exclaimed.

"Oh, it seems only yesterday we brought her here!" said Rapunzel, remembering the old days.

"Just a tiny baby!" said Anna, remembering as well.

Then all of a sudden, Rapunzel sniffled and wiped a tear from her eye. Elsa and Anna saw that.

"Why, Rapunzel!" said Elsa.

"Whatever is the matter, dear?" asked Anna.

"After today, she'll be a princess. And we won't have our little Summer Rain!" Rapunzel sobbed tearfully.

"Oh, Elsa!" said Anna, who began to cry about Summer Rain as well.

"Now, now, now, now, we...we...we...we all knew this day had to come." said Elsa, shedding a tear and wiping it from her eye as well. It had been eight years, and they began to think of Summer rain as their own child that they never had.

"But why did it have to come so soon?" Tears slid down Anna's cheeks.

"After all, we've had her for eight years." said Elsa.

"Eight wonderful years!" Rapunzel said dreamily.

Then there was a moment of silence as they thought about the wonderful years they had with the child. They fed her, bathe her, and helped her go to sleep. Rapunzel sniffled and wiped another tear from her eye again. Then suddenly, Elsa changed her expression. "Good gracious, We're acting like a lot of ninnies! Come on, she'll be back before we get started." said Elsa. And they all resumed their work.
