In her dreams, 8 00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:30,360 Speaker 1: she would wake up in a beautiful castle, start off 9 00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:33,240 Speaker 1: the day with a royal breakfast, followed by activities fit 10 00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:37,200 Speaker 1: for a princess, and a royal ball at night. Of course, 11 00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:39,959 Speaker 1: her mom, dad, and brother Levi were all there with her, 12 00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:43,760 Speaker 1: and she couldn't imagine anything more fantastic. Ivy wanted to 13 00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:46,360 Speaker 1: be a real princess more than anything, and since she 14 00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:49,040 Speaker 1: hadn't been born a princess, she thought the next best 15 00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:52,040 Speaker 1: thing was to just start acting like one, which didn't 16 00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:55,920 Speaker 1: always go over well with her mom, dad, and Levi. No, honey, 17 00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:57,960 Speaker 1: I can't get you a carriage to bring you back 18 00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:01,040 Speaker 1: and forth to school, Ivy's dad say when she would ask, 19 00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:05,119 Speaker 1: You'll have to just keep riding the royal school bus 20 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:09,319 Speaker 1: with Levi, Ivy, dear, two tea parties today is certainly 21 00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:11,680 Speaker 1: more than enough, her mom would respond. When she was 22 00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:16,319 Speaker 1: asking for a pre dinner tea, Ivy Levi would yell, 23 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:19,800 Speaker 1: get all of these princess dresses, tiaras and royal wands 24 00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:21,800 Speaker 1: out of the toy room. I can't find my blocks 25 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:27,080 Speaker 1: in your royal mess. They'll never understand, Ivy whispered to herself. 26 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:29,840 Speaker 1: I was made to be a princess. I just have 27 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:33,240 Speaker 1: to get them to see it. Before Ivy stepped out 28 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 1: of her bed, she wiggled her feet into her royal slippers. 29 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:39,920 Speaker 1: Then she put on her royal robe and walked over 30 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:45,000 Speaker 1: to her closet. Hmmm, now what should I wear today, 31 00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 1: she asked herself as she stared in the mirror in 32 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 1: her closet door. Something royal, of course. But what Ivy 33 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,480 Speaker 1: didn't know was that when she opened her closet she 34 00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,560 Speaker 1: would get the surprise of a lifetime, because there in 35 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 1: Ivy's closet was the most magnificent princess dress she had 36 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:08,680 Speaker 1: ever seen. It was light blue with purple and pink 37 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 1: swirls of color, but more impressive than the amazing fabric 38 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:16,280 Speaker 1: where the sparkles the dress sparkled brighter than the starliest 39 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,120 Speaker 1: night Ivy had ever seen. She was stunn at how 40 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 1: beautiful it was and simply couldn't believe it was there 41 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 1: in her closet. Where did it come from? Am I 42 00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:29,680 Speaker 1: still dreaming? Should I try it on? All of these 43 00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:31,880 Speaker 1: questions and moore ran through Ivy's head as she called 44 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 1: out to her mom. Mom, Mom, did you buy me 45 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,359 Speaker 1: a new princess dress and leave it in my closet? 46 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:43,640 Speaker 1: Ivy exclaimed, But she didn't get a response. She just 47 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 1: figured everyone had started their day, which sometimes happened on 48 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 1: the weekend since the princess requires a lot of sleep. 49 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 1: Ivy didn't think any more about it and decided she 50 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,960 Speaker 1: had to try on the dress. She stepped into her 51 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:58,360 Speaker 1: closet and then into the dress. It fit as if 52 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 1: it were made only for her, or the sparkles on 53 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 1: it were even more sparkly what she had at all. 54 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:08,800 Speaker 1: She did a spin there in the closet and quickly 55 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,800 Speaker 1: realized that a dress of this awesomeness needed a much 56 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 1: bigger spinning area. With that thought, she twirled out of 57 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 1: her closet and got another amazing surprise. Instead of standing 58 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,800 Speaker 1: in her bedroom at home, she found herself standing in 59 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 1: the bedroom from her princess dream. It was enormous, with 60 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 1: towering stone walls, the most beautiful canopy bed set upon 61 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,400 Speaker 1: the most regal looking rug, which was swirled with the 62 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:38,160 Speaker 1: same colors in her dress. Sun shone in through five 63 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,000 Speaker 1: giant stained glass windows made to look like scenes from 64 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 1: her favorite fairy tales. Color from the glass painted the 65 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 1: floors with rainbows, which Ivy twirled and danced through without 66 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,240 Speaker 1: a care in the world. But after a moment, she 67 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 1: started to wonder, how did I get here? Is my 68 00:03:55,440 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 1: family here too? Am I still dreaming our real princess? 69 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 1: No sooner did she start to think about all of 70 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 1: these things than she heard a familiar voice. Ivy, it's 71 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 1: time for breakfast, called her mom from just outside her 72 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 1: bedroom door. She ran to open it and see if 73 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:18,120 Speaker 1: it was really her mom. Ivy exclaimed, I'm so happy 74 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:22,560 Speaker 1: to see you here. Where else would I be? Ivy, 75 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,840 Speaker 1: he called her mom. We always eat breakfast together at 76 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:28,720 Speaker 1: the Royal Castle. Now, let's hurry, Dad and Levi are 77 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 1: waiting for us. Ivy quickly followed her mom through the 78 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 1: huge halls of the castle to a giant dining room 79 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 1: The table looked to be a mile long. Ivy and 80 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,320 Speaker 1: her mom sat at one end, while Levi and her 81 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 1: dad sat way at the other end. Good morning, Ivy 82 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 1: shouted her dad. I hope you had a good night's sleep. Hi, 83 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 1: Ivy shouted Levi. I asked for chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast. 84 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:58,560 Speaker 1: I hope that's okay with you. Ivy nodded her head 85 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:01,680 Speaker 1: and waved at her dad and Levi. I love chocolate 86 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:05,679 Speaker 1: chip pancakes, and it was a good thing she did, 87 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,359 Speaker 1: because the stack of pancakes that was brought out for 88 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:12,600 Speaker 1: her and Levi could have fed ten princesses and their families. 89 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:15,880 Speaker 1: Levi and Ivy gobbled up their pancakes, and when they 90 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:20,599 Speaker 1: couldn't eat another bite, they asked if they could go play. Sure, 91 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 1: just don't leave the castle, said Ivy's dad. Remember you're 92 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,920 Speaker 1: picking out horses for your royal school carriage this morning, 93 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 1: so you need to stay close by. Yes, we'll call 94 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,919 Speaker 1: you when they arrive, added Ivy's mom. Ivy couldn't believe 95 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 1: it a carriage to take her to school, just like 96 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 1: she always wanted. Levi quickly let Ivy down a long hallway, 97 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,960 Speaker 1: playing a royal game of follow the leader, first down 98 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 1: the hallway, then through a beautiful courtyard covered in flowers, 99 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:51,240 Speaker 1: then around the moat, over the drag ridge. Once they 100 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:53,040 Speaker 1: got to the other side of the castle, they ran 101 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:58,440 Speaker 1: into their playroom. So many toys, said Ivy, spinning around 102 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 1: in her dress to get a look at all of them. 103 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:04,160 Speaker 1: And she saw the dress up closet, so many dresses, 104 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 1: tiaras and wands. Yeah, I know, Leevie groaned. Please don't 105 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,520 Speaker 1: scouter them all over the playground, you always make such 106 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,680 Speaker 1: a mess. After playing for quite a while and trying 107 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:20,800 Speaker 1: on tiaras, Ivy and leve I heard their mom calling, Ivy, 108 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:24,279 Speaker 1: it's time to pick out your horses, she said. Ivey 109 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 1: ran out to the courtyard where five real horses were 110 00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 1: waiting to be seen. I love them all, she said. 111 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,920 Speaker 1: Then we'll take all of them, said her mom. We 112 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:36,719 Speaker 1: can keep them in the stables in the village for 113 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,280 Speaker 1: everyone to enjoy, and when it's time for school, we'll 114 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,560 Speaker 1: pick the horses you want to use that day, Ivey 115 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 1: was so happy she had no words. She just smiled 116 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:49,559 Speaker 1: and hugged her mom. Thank you so much, she said, 117 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,600 Speaker 1: You're welcome, Ivey, but we better hurry if we're going 118 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,960 Speaker 1: to make it to first tea. She said, first tea, 119 00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,599 Speaker 1: Ivey said, in a surprise voice. How many teas do 120 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:03,840 Speaker 1: we have each day? At least three, replied her mother. 121 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 1: There's the first tea after breakfast, mid afternoon tea after lunch, 122 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 1: and then pre dinner tea pre dinner tea, Ivy exclaimed 123 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,520 Speaker 1: in a whisper, just like she always wanted. We do 124 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 1: have to be quick today because you do have writing 125 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 1: lessons in dance class too, before we get ready for 126 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 1: your Royal ball tonight, her mom reminded her as they 127 00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:26,119 Speaker 1: walked into a courtyard where the tea was waiting. After 128 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,320 Speaker 1: a lovely party with honey tea and little cakes and treats, 129 00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,200 Speaker 1: Ivy went for her writing lesson. She helped her horse 130 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:34,800 Speaker 1: get ready and rode around the Royal Arena several times 131 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 1: before it was time to leave for her dance class. 132 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,840 Speaker 1: She changed into the gorgeous ballet outfit danced in the 133 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:46,239 Speaker 1: most beautiful dance studio she'd ever seen. After dance class, 134 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 1: it was time to get ready for the Royal Ball. 135 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 1: The whole town would be there, and Ivy was told 136 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,560 Speaker 1: how much they always enjoyed seeing which magnificent dress she 137 00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 1: would be wearing. She couldn't imagine a more beautiful dress 138 00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 1: than the one she had found that morning, so she 139 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,920 Speaker 1: chose that one and a sparkle tiara. She walked outside 140 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 1: ready to go, when she was joined by Levi, her mom, 141 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,400 Speaker 1: and her dad, and one other visitor. She was not expecting. 142 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:12,400 Speaker 1: A dragon, exclaimed Ivy with pure joy as she ran 143 00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 1: over to the dragon and gave her a big hug. 144 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:19,400 Speaker 1: Will you come to the Royal Ball with us? Of course, Ivy, 145 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 1: Luna always tags along to all of your royal balls. 146 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 1: She loves to dance, after all, said Ivy's dad. So 147 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 1: off they went to the Royal Ball and had the 148 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:32,200 Speaker 1: most wonderful time. Ivy had such a wonderful time, in fact, 149 00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:34,959 Speaker 1: that she didn't want the fun to end. She invited 150 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,000 Speaker 1: the whole village back to the castle, where they all 151 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:40,440 Speaker 1: played and danced for the rest of the night. After 152 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:43,439 Speaker 1: a long day of being Princess Ivy, she was very tired. 153 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 1: Ivy said good night to her mom and dad and 154 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:50,080 Speaker 1: Levi and walked into her giant bedroom. She looked at 155 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,559 Speaker 1: herself in the mirror on her closet door. She marveled 156 00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 1: once more at her beautiful princess dress before walking into 157 00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:59,320 Speaker 1: her closet to put on her PJS. But what Ivy 158 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:03,000 Speaker 1: didn't know was everything was about to change again. As 159 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:04,839 Speaker 1: she stepped out of her closet to jump into bed, 160 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:08,679 Speaker 1: she noticed something very different. No more towering stone walls, 161 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:11,840 Speaker 1: no more beautiful canopy bed. Ivy was back in her 162 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:17,240 Speaker 1: normal bedroom. No more princess Ivy, she said in a whisper. 163 00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:19,920 Speaker 1: Then she looked at herself in the mirror on her closet. 164 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:23,600 Speaker 1: Dorene smiled. Even though she wasn't a princess anymore, she 165 00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:26,160 Speaker 1: got to live her dream, if only for one day, 166 00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 1: and that was pretty special. I was actually pretty happy 167 00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:33,720 Speaker 1: to be home the more she thought about it. Being 168 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:37,520 Speaker 1: a princess was fun, but being just Ivy was even better. 169 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:40,920 Speaker 1: She ran off to find Levi. When she finally found him, 170 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,200 Speaker 1: he was in the playroom picking up her princess dresses 171 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:46,560 Speaker 1: and tiaras. Oh sorry about that, LEVI. Let me help you, 172 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:50,880 Speaker 1: she said. Wow, both of you cleaning the playroom together. 173 00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:56,040 Speaker 1: I must be dreaming, said Ivy's mom as she walked in. No, Mom, 174 00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,559 Speaker 1: you're not dreaming, Ivey said, with a smile. That's good. 175 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:01,240 Speaker 1: Because I thought it would be kind of nice to 176 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,520 Speaker 1: have one of your pre dinner tea parties.

Ivy couldn't believe it. I 181 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:19,160 Speaker 1: would love that, she said. LEVI, would you like to 182 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:22,920 Speaker 1: be my royal guest?
