Once upon a time, or maybe this morning there was a beautiful princess who was hibernating in a pile of blankets, pillows and cat. Suddenly there came a sound, like the dulcent frequency of a cell phone. It called the princess to cease her snoring and pry open her sleepy eyes.
"Sod off" mumbled the princess, rolling over like a beached seal. But hark? Yeah verily it was a cell phone and not the cursed monster alarm-clock. Gracefully the princess flailed the blankets from herself...and even more gracefully fell onto the floor before skipping to answer the call. "Who could be calling at this early hour?" she thought. "I'm gonna punch whoever is stupid enough to be calling so early!" is the rough translation that came out of her princessly pie hole.
Low and behold, it was Prince Charming calling. Lucky for him he was safely on the far end of the phone line, and thus safe from the princess' wiley left cross. The Prince was charmingly calling to warn her about the impending (and unexpected) arrival of a knave called "Sir Man of Cable Installation"
Wishing to always put her best foot forward (and the fact that even her magic mirror was cringing at the sight of her), the princess began stumbling around in the dark looking for her pants. Since it was too early for her helper friends the tiny white mice to have her clothes waiting for her.
As the princess finished dressing and attending to the needs of her faithful familiar, Mistress Elphaba, there came a pounding at the castle door. The princess quickly admitted the knave who's arrival had driven her from her dreams of playing mini golf from a golf cart.
And it was thanks to the brave efforts of Prince Charming, and the cat like reflexes of the beautiful princess that the embarrassment of answering the door in her jammys was thwarted. And once the cable was installed both the princess and her familiar wept tears of joy.
And they all lived happily ever after....the end.
