The Story of Cheesy . . .

Once, there was a bowl of mac and cheese that was extra cheesy! The cook who baked it made it special for the king. Then, a wizard came, and asked the king if he could taste some of the macaroni. The king agreed, and so, the wizard tried it.

It was the best mac and cheese he had ever tried! Then, all of a sudden, BOOM! The wizard’s wand exploded! And it cast a spell on the mac and cheese! The wizard helped the king clean up the mess. Next, the king asked the cook if he could make another big bowl of macaroni and cheese, but the cook said he can’t because he’s all out of cheese! So they went outside to buy some cheese, but all the stores were out! Meanwhile, back at the palace, the macaroni and cheese sat still on the table. Then, a voice called out, “Hi!”

The royal cat turned around. There was no one there. Then, the voice called out again, “Yoo hoo! Is someone there?! I’m bored. Plus, I don’t want to get eaten!” It was coming from the dining table. The cat went to where the voice was coming from.

Next, the cat knew that the voice was coming from the macaroni and cheese. Could mac and cheese talk? The cat crept closer to the bowl. Now, the cat was sure it was coming from the mac and cheese! He was right. The mac and cheese was alive! What would the cat do?!

“Hi my name’s Cheesy! What’s yours? Hello?!” the mac and cheese asked.

Meanwhile, the king and his cook, and the wizard were walking down the streets to find the shop that had the type of cheese that the cook has, or had. They went into a shop, but came out empty-handed. “Hear he, hear he!” the king said after he and the wizard thought of a plan.

The plan was to get the villagers’ attention and ask them if they have any cheese. “I would like to make an announcement!” he said. “Back at our very castle, our lovely cook has something we desperately need! We ran out of cheese! The cheese, we need to make my macaroni and cheese!” he cried, “A VERY rare and DELICIOUS type of cheese!” But no one had the type of cheese he needed. Fortunately, a villager came to the rescue . . . or did he?

“Your Majesty,” he said, bowing low, “I have a rare type of cheese that

might happen to be the one you need. I will be willing to share a bit with you.” The king took a small bite of the cheese. It was extremely cheesy, but was it the cheese he wanted? The villager’s eyes grew wide. Finally, the king made up his mind.

“This is not the type of cheese I want!” he declared. The villager left sadly, feeling glum.

Back at the castle . . . “Here kitty, kitty!” Cheesy yelled.

The cat thought that Cheesy was VERY loud! And he was right. The cat did not go anywhere near Cheesy. The cat thought Cheesy was annoying too. And he was right again! Actually, Cheesy was EXTREMELY annoying!!!

Then, Cheesy knew that the cat’s name was Leo. How did he know? Easy. Because he saw Leo’s name on Leo’s food bowl. The cat growled at him. Instead of calming the cat down, Cheesy just kept on talking. Then, he came to a stop.

“Now what should we talk about?!” he asked. But instead, the cat leapt toward Cheesy, but Cheesy just said, “Finally, you want to play with me!” But Leo did not want to play with Cheesy. Instead, he wanted to chase Cheesy out of the castle and make sure he never came back! And so, he did! Cheesy didn’t know what to do first. Luckily, the magic spell made him able to hop around, backwards, forwards, to the right, and to the left! So, he hopped to the door. Would this door lead outside? It did! Cheesy hid behind the rock, and Leo sniffed and looked for him. He thought that he should scare away Cheesy to a faraway land. But the smart cat knew that Cheesy did not get too far yet. Then, the cat got the scent. Cheesy had to run!!! Cheesy hopped and a few minutes later, there was no sign of the cat, nor the castle. He was safe! He thought he should leave the cat alone. Besides, he was bored. He wanted an adventure! And that’s what he got. Cheesy kept on hopping, enjoying the fresh air and the sounds of animals. Then, a few hours later, Cheesy found himself on top of a hill. It was dark and gloomy. What if it was starting to rain?! “Cross your fingers,” he said to himself. “Wait, I don’t have fingers! Oh well, that’s OK!” he said to himself again. Then, he heard a growl behind him. Was he going to make a new friend, or was he going to meet a new enemy? He found out for himself. He turned around, nervous, but excited. Then, instead of seeing something small and cute, he saw a pair of big, green eyes. They were staring right at him. Then, he knew he was face to face with a giant, not friendly-looking, dragon. “OK, think good thoughts and breathe,” he whispered, in a frightened voice, just to himself. But it didn’t work. The dragon just growled. It went on its hind legs and roared. Then, it started to fly away. Cheesy was half happy and half sad because he didn’t get to make

a new friend. But, at that moment, the best thing that could ever happen to Cheesy just happened. He was going to make a new friend! A rabbit hopped by. Then, it stopped. “Hiya!” cried Cheesy after the rabbit. The rabbit stared up at him, scared. Who was this guy in this bowl thing? Cheesy introduced himself, and the rabbit just looked at Cheesy.

Then, the rabbit said, “M . . . my name is Oreo,” he said, “I tripped over this rock, and it kinda hurt, so I’m taking a break.”

“Well, I could give you company,” Cheesy said, hopefully.

“Thanks,” said Oreo. Then, they heard a roar.

They turned around, and came face to face with the dragon again.

“Oh, no!” cried Oreo, “That’s King Jester’s wife, aka Queen Hydra!!! She’s also part serpent and is VERY dangerous!” he said. They ran, and ran away. When Cheesy turned back to look, Queen Hydra was still chasing them. She was breathing fire, and roaring. But luckily, Oreo was one smart rabbit. Could he be so smart that he could outsmart a dragon queen? Then, Oreo found a leaf and remembered a potion that was pretty simple. So, he got to work right away! First, he dipped the leaf into some mud. Second, he went near the river, said some weird words that Cheesy had no idea what it meant, and dipped the leaf covered in mud in the river. Third, he studied the leaf extra carefully. Cheesy had no idea what Oreo was doing! Finally, Oreo patted the leaf all over him and Cheesy, then hid behind a rock, and motioned Cheesy to come over.

“What did you do?” asked Cheesy, in a hushed tone.

“Oh, I just made that leaf smell really good, and then made us smell like that. It’s kind of like a repellent for dragons . . . good smells of course,” explained Oreo. Then, before they knew it, Queen Hydra came right by them, but when she sniffed, she flew away back to her own dragon realm.

“Come on, let’s go,” said Oreo. “I want you to meet my older sister. My mother got killed by Queen Hydra, and my father got killed by poachers, so it’s just me and my sister. Her name is Lily Belle.”

When they entered the rabbit hole, Cheesy was amazed. It was wonderful! How did Oreo and Lily Belle live here all alone?! Then, a pretty, light brown rabbit hopped out and said, “Oreo, come on! I need your help collecting more food!”

“Sorry, Lily Belle. I was making a new friend,” said Oreo. When Oreo mentioned “making a new friend,” Lily Belle brightened.

“A new friend? Well, that’s nice!” she said in a soft voice. “Come in, come in!” she told Cheesy. “Now, tell me all that happened,” she told Oreo. When Oreo explained, Lily Belle was listening very carefully. Then, she asked

Cheesy about his life before he met Oreo. After Cheesy explained, Lily Belle told Cheesy that he could live in the rabbit hole with them. Cheesy was so happy that he was about to lose all of his mac and cheese. Lily Belle was happy too, especially Oreo. He was always a bit lonely with his older sister going outside, studying, and not paying attention to him, but now, things have changed. His friend, who had no family like him, except for his sister, was going to live with him! And Cheesy was the most excited of all. He and Oreo could go out making more friends! After Cheesy started living with them, Lily Belle was starting to get annoyed by Cheesy, but she was still happy that Cheesy was here. She had a great life and needed more company. Cheesy had become BEST friends with Oreo, and they were having a great time. And whenever Queen Hydra came, they knew what to do! And after all that, they lived happily ever after!
