Stella's Work Load

Long ago in a faraway kingdom as well as a planet known as Solaria, there lived a king named Radius and his little girl named Stella.

King Radius was a kindhearted father who gave Stella everything she wanted as well as needed, but King Radius also felt that Stella needed a mother's care ever since he divorced Stella's biological mother, Queen Luna.

So King Radius remarried to his second wife, a woman named Countess Cassandra with two daughters just Stella's age.

Countess Cassandra's daughters' names were Shimera & Mitzi.

It was around the time of King Radius's untimely death that Countess Cassandra's true nature was revealed.

Countess Cassandra was coldhearted & cruel & bitterly jealous of Stella because of her charm & beauty.

As time went by, the once fine castle where Stella lived was falling apart, and now Stella was being made to sleep on the floor of the servants' bedchamber with the rest of the servants, Bloom, the laundry maid, Flora, the gardener, Musa, Mitzi & Shimera's music teacher, and Tecna, the royal wardrobe mistress & seamstress.

Stella was being forced to cook & clean the castle from top to bottom usually, this morning awoke with a start to the sound of her four best friends all sneezing & coughing.

"What's the matter?" Stella asked her four friends.

"Watasi-tachi wa infuruenza ni kakatte iru," Tecna said to Stella in Japanese then translating into English coughing violently. "we are sick with the flu!"

"Do you think you could bring us our daily stale bread & water?" Bloom asked Stella.

At this news Stella jumped up from her cotton blanket, she loved to help her friends, it was her step-mother & step-sisters that she hated to help out, at least Flora, Bloom, Musa, & Tecna repaid Stella for helping them out by helping her out in order to make the work lighter.

After all, the five best friends went by one of Bloom's favorite Earth expressions, "Many hands make light work," and with the help of her friends, Stella didn't have to do all the housework all by herself.

But that certainly would not necessarily be the case today as two of the servant summoning bells rang.

"Tecna! Tecna!" Tecna heard both Shimera & Mitzi shouting.

"Bloom! Bloom!" Bloom heard Countess Cassandra shouting.

"Looks like it is time for work," Bloom & Tecna groaned each fighting back a horrendous sneeze. "we are on it."
