Episode 46

In yesterday's episode of "Locked in the Fridge" our Dashing Princess was was cursed by the Wicked Wizard of Cable and in order to lift the curse she was told to make a special trip to Faraway Land to pick up a Magic Box.
Earlier that day a friendly witch had flown into town and requested an audience in the new palace.
Our Fearless Heroine went to sleep after pouring a magical potion into the bathtub to loosen up the horrific block that had ruined her morning showers.

Today's Episode of LOCKED IN THE FRIDGE brought to you by Jacob's, the Makers of Jacob's Fig Rolls and Jacob's Cream Crackers.

The Princess awoke to a dreary morning, knowing that she would have to catch one of the Yellow Pumpkin Wagons to go to Faraway Land. She washed herself in the bathtub noticing - as the grimy water reached her knees - that the magical potion had not worked at all. She decided that such a slip of bad luck would not ruin her day. Braving the icky muggly weather curse, she walked briskly to the Pumpkin stop, only to realize that she had just missed one.
So she waited.
The next Pumpkin was not only late, but dreadfully slow and made her trip to Faraway Land even longer. Picking up the Magic box was easy, it seemed that the goblins of The wicked Wizard of Cable had been told to smile and hand the Magic Box over without making trouble. She happily turned to make the trip back, hardly noticing the pissing rain finding its way down the small gap between her collar and her neck. She was even blissfully arrogant about the fact that a Pumpkin whizzed right by her as she approached the stop. Instead, she turned around and went to pick up delicious treats from the nearby village market.
Once seated, although not very securely, on the Pumpkin, a Carrier Pigeon came flying towards her with an important message from the Friendly Witch. However, just as the Heroic Princess was unraveling the message, the Carrier Pigeon ran out of Juice and fell dead to the ground.
Not knowing what the message from the Friendly Witch was, the Princess rushed home with the Magic Box and all her packages from the market. Once home, she was greeted by a letter in her electronic mail informing her that the Friendly Witch had to cancel the audience.
Perturbed by the fact that she had rushed out of bed in order to be able to pick up the Magic Box before the arrival of the Friendly Witch, our Heroine sulked around the palace for a while.
Then she decided that playing with the Magic Box might pick her up. The Handsome Prince climbed down from his Ivory Tower to help her open the Box. Alas the Magic Box turned out to be less than Magic. It did not bring her images from her two favorite places such as BBC or S1.
She sent Carrier Pigeon after Carrier Pigeon to Faraway Land but to no avail, until finally one came back and told her to simply connect two cables. This did not help.
Finally she decided that it would have to suffice and gave up.
Now, in a frightful mood, she went to the kitchen. Perhaps some lovely focaccia with fresh mozzarella would lift her spirits.
That was how she found out that the newly purchased Swift Oven was entirely broken.
Luckily, shortly thereafter her Sister, the Princess of Handball, contacted her and they had a lovely chat.
Otherwise the Princess might have unleashed her terrible powers and nobody would have been safe from her wrath.

Will her Magic Box work or will the Princess have to make another trip to Faraway Land?
Will her Swift Oven be easily exchangeable or will our Heroine have to use her powers on the sales minion?
Will the Prince survive on a diet of Cinnamon Buns?

STAY TUNED for the next episode of:
LOCKED IN THE FRIDGE

Your sponsors (Jacobs) must also have magical powers: not having thought of or indeed clapped eyes on a Fig Roll for half a lifetime I walk through the back door on arrival in P to find an entire Tupperware box stuffed full of them. Then I open the unmissable chronicles of the Princess and her Magic Box perils and find the purveyors of the Fig Rolls are bringing the episode to me...I do not believe in coincidences...must resist, must resist.

That is downright bizarre, Chameleon! I am, very much against my will and better judgement, a believer in the "Freaky Flow of Odd Coincidences" having been subjected to them far too often to ignore them.
