Chapter 11

Chapter 11 Now is it time for presents?" asked Princess Euphoria. "Um..." said Princess Magnolia. She held her breath. She listened. She looked at her ring. No ringing. "Yes!" she said. "It really is time for presents."

The princesses went back to the tower. They sat on sofas. Princess Hyacinth handed Princess Magnolia the first gift.

It felt heavy and round. Could it be a racing helmet? A goldfish bowl? A crystal ball? Princess Magnolia couldn't wait to see! Then something happened. Something that made Princess Magnolia want to cry. Her glitter-stone ring rang.

It was really, really time for presents. It was a really, really bad time for a monster attack. "Does that alarm mean it's time for presents?" asked Princess Honeysuckle. Princess Magnolia whimpered. "Please stay here," she said. "I'll be right back. I promise."
