A Remix of Mulan ISABELLA WU • AGE 10 WRIT TEN IN A WRITE AWAY WORKSHOP
O
nce upon a time, in a very, very in a far away land, there lived a princess with her mom, the queen. They lived peacefully until Queen Diana called Princess Lucia. Lucia rushed to the opened window at her room with her tan sandals with gold specks that she wore in the royal green and colorful garden. "Lucia! Lucia darling!" The queen said in her highpitched voice. (Her voice almost broke the glass. Sometimes Lucia would imagine her mom at the singing competition singing the opera.) "I'm here mom!" Lucia shouted. "Oh good, how are your book balancing skills?" asked the queen. "Um, it's going well, I guess." replied Lucia. "Oh, that's wonderful, show me." said the queen. "I don't think you would want to see it, it's um . . . a surprise for the um . . . competition." replied Lucia, nervously. "You signed up for the royal competition? I have never been so proud!" said the queen, proudly. "Well, you do you, the competition is on your birthday, I can't wait!" said the queen happily as she left the room. "Ok, mom!" shouted Lucia. The competition! What was I thinking, I would be awful! I didn't even practice! And plus, my birthday is in the next two days! Lucia thought to herself as she plopped on the soft bed.
