Ally in Wonderland

What is the use of a book, without pictures or conversations?

Once upon a time, in a land called... Miami, lived a young woman by the name of Allyson Dawson. She had long brown hair that flowed down her back like a chocolate waterfall, and deep chestnut coloured eyes that if one stared for too long, one could become lost within them. Allyson Dawson was no ordinary girl, no. Allyson Dawson was a -

"Daddy!"

"What pumpkin? Don't you want to know what Allyson Dawson really is?"

The young girl shook her head and pulled her bed covers higher up over her eyes. "No."

"Why not?" Her father smiled down at her adoringly. The small girl before him was all he had left in the world. His mother and father were long gone, both having died of old age, one after the other. It was sweet really, that way they didn't have to spend to long without their other half. His wife... she too was gone, but not dead. Just, gone.

"Because..." She giggled, her little legs kicking slightly under the pink princess sheets that adorned her bed. "You're gonna make her a dragon again!"

The man laughed heartily, "When have I ever made her a dragon?"

"Well... never, but you made Miss Pennyworth part dragon," She argued.

"Because Miss Pennyworth was a dragon," He tickled his daughter and she squealed in delight. "But don't you worry pumpkin. Allyson, is just like you."

"Like me?"

The man nodded, "Allyson Dawson is a princess."

The little girl grinned, "Good. Does she have magic powers?"

"Yes. Now, are you going to let me continue the story?"

"Yes Daddy."

Allyson Dawson was no ordinary girl, no. Allyson Dawson was a Princess, a princess like no other. Whilst other princesses such a Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty were off losing shoes and snoozing, Allyson ruled her kingdom. It wasn't a big kingdom but one day when she was older, and much, much wiser, Allyson would take over from her father to rule over -

"The land of Sonic Boom!" The child interrupted.

Her father chuckled, "Now, why on earth would you name it after that?"

"Because that way she's like me. The princess gets the kingdom and I get the store."

He shook his head, "Surely you have bigger ambitions than that?"

"Like what?"

"I can't tell you sweetheart, only you know that."

"But... I don't know."

"You will one day."

"Does that mean I won't get the store?"

He sighed, "Is that what you really want?"

She nodded furiously.

"Okay then..."

Allyson would take over from her father to rule over the Land of Sonic Boom. The Land of Sonic Boom was a magical place, a place where you could achieve great things. A place where even the smallest, most timid of creatures could become the most amazing of all. Unlike the other kingdoms, Sonic Boom was beautiful, the streets were always filled with music. Music created by the Princess herself -

"Really?" The girl asked her doe like eyes staring up at her father with awe.

"Yes, really. Princess Allyson is just like you sweetheart, she is very, very talented."

The girl smiled as she held back a yawn. "Can you tell me more please, Daddy? What about the princesses friends? Did she have any? Can Trish be a princess too? Please Daddy!"

Of course ruling over the kingdom and making music wasn't the only thing Princess Allyson did. She also spent many days with her best friend and lady in waiting Patricia -

"Daddy don't call her Patricia! You know she hates that!"

Her lady in waiting Trish. The pair would spend hours playing in the sunflower fields or eating pickles from the Princess' very own pickle tree. Whenever Princess Allyson needed help Trish was always there for her, as well as her father of course.

"And her Daddy was like you, right?"

Princess Allyson's father was always happy to help his daughter, but knew that sometimes she had to work things out on her own. He knew that she would make great Queen one day.

"What about her mommy?"

The man sighed. His daughter still couldn't grasp that her mom wasn't coming back. "Well, that's what I wanted to talk to you about sweetie. I know in life that things aren't always going to be easy for you, and I know that sometimes you aren't gonna want to talk about it with me or Trish -"

"Why not?"

"Because as you get older you might feel too embarrassed to talk to me about it, and you might not be able to get a hold of Trish. So -"

"Then I'll just tell Mommy."

"Pumpkin... we've been through this. Mommy isn't... Mommy's not coming back."

"Why not?" The young girl's eyes were beginning to brim over with tears.

"Well, because..." He didn't know what to tell her because to be honest, he didn't really know himself.

"Is it because she doesn't love me?"

Her father shook his head and pulled her into his arms before wrapping her into a warm embrace. "Of course not. There isn't a person in this world who couldn't love you."

"Then why did she leave?" She sobbed getting snot over her father's cotton shirt.

"Because she loved you too much, and she just needed to give all that love to other people who needed it too. So whilst she still loves you, you mom has so much love to give that she just keeps on giving it to other people. Understand?"

She nodded.

"Now, you may not need it now but one day when you do it will help you," The man leant over the bed and pulled out a leather-bound book from beneath it before placing it in his daughter's tiny hands.

"It's a book," She stated as she opened it, only to discover the pages to be bare. "It's empty."

"Exactly."

"But... what is the point of a book without pictures or conversations?"

"That's the magic of it Pumpkin," He smiled warmly. "You can do with this book whatever you desire. You can fill it with your own words and pictures. Essentially you could create your own world within it."

"Like Princess Allyson?"

"Yes, just like Princess Allyson."

The small girl glided her fingers across the spine, then over the cover and across the large pink 'A' in the centre. It was beautiful, and she was going to treasure it for the rest of her life.
