The Adventures Of Josephine And Celeste

A door in the bedroom

One night, after the whole family went to bed, Jenny made a cup of tea and then went back into bed. She had a marvelous dream. There was a door in the wall where usually it is there. The wall was light green and the door that appeared was white, with a golden lock.

She opened the door, and behind was another door, then it led into a bathroom, where it was no bathtub and a lot of flood was everywhere. Then they went into another place, where you could see only rivers of pure water, like a network or a maze of rivers. They saw a chair on the river and after that a black boat with two seats. They got into the boat and went sailing away to unknown places.

After a while, Brian and Jenny found a house with white doors. The door was opened. They got inside, to see what's in there, because they were so curious. Above the bed was a white curtain hanging on beautifully carved wooden sticks, that created a tent like decor, and under it there were pillows with cute colorful decorations on the margins. There were plants in pots, tiny lighthouses with candle inside, delicious cookies with raspberry or orange jam on the plates and tea in teacups.

"Where are we, darling?"

"I don't know, sweet lady" replied Brian.

"I hope we're headed to a lovely place" said Jenny.

"Let's go sit in that garden. I really need some fresh air" said Brian.

Meantime while Brian and Jenny were walking through that garden, Puffy and Josephine were home, doing what they always do: playing, reading or house keeping.

While Puffy was with her friends playing outside in the park, a handsome and renown warrior prince came knocking on Josephine's door. As she went to the door, he came in and took a seat on a chair. She brought him some juice and cookies. He asked her if she had put a spell on him and had a face like he just woke up from a dream or he could have been a sleep walker. He looked a lot like Brian.

"I didn't do it, dear! That's not true! Because I love you very much." she said looking into his eyes.

"I'm going to find out... hope you didn't," he replied, looking shocked.

It looked like he did a spell somehow. But it was real. She didn't understood why he would say it's a spell. This is something she doesn't know and she won't do it, because it's forbidden by God. Still, she had hoped that the warrior prince would understand she was a good girl, on the side of good.

From that moment on, she didn't attend to any of the places she was invited, because those people were strange beings and they were evil. They were influenced by a strange dust, particles of violet smoke that made them ugly and mean. What was the antidote that would cure them from meanness? Who was on Josephine's side, to help her when her world seems to fall apart?

The people she knew were rich, had horses and carriages and magical powers, but she wanted to be just with Brian, so she had to tell them to leave her alone. Maybe he wasn't a prince, but he looked like a prince, dressed like a prince and talked like a prince. He might as well have been a real prince, without anybody knowing about it. And he was very secretive about it.
