As you walk down the path after visiting the previous house on your trick-or-treating route, you happen to pass by Birdy's tree home. Looking up, you pause. Were her lights always on, or was this a recent development? Curious, you decide to investigate.
Upon reaching the top of the stairs, you knock on the door. There is no answer, but the door slowly creaks open.
You hesitantly step inside, and promptly notice a table with a large bowl full of candy, pieces of paper, a can of pencils, and a plushie sitting on it. (As you move closer to investigate, you notice the plushie seems to actually be multiple plushies that have been cut apart somehow and sewn back together as one. Huh. Weird.) Turning your attention to the note in the plushie's many hands, you pick it up and read it.
Heyo! Birdy here. Hope you're having (or had) a great time trick-or-treating! I don't really have much to offer this year, but feel free to hang out and enjoy some candy!
…Oh yeah, and I also made some attempts at some madlibs sorta things, so feel free to try those out too.
Stay safe and have fun!
~ Birdy
…Hmm, madlibs you say? Couldn't hurt to try. Taking a piece of your favourite candy from the bowl, you pick up a piece of paper and a pencil from the table and begin to read…
Hiello! Welcome to my house this year. It's not much, but it's something.
I'm just gonna assume y'all know how madlibs work, and skip the explaination. Except to say there are times I didn't list eeeeeevery part of speech or whatever used in the order used, because it's used more than once in some cases (like names) and I think/hope it's self-explanitory when that happens.
...also sorry if anything's kinda funky with formatting or spelling or whatever. Typing on a phone is hard. =D; (If there is anything wrong, I'll try to correct it later when I'm back on my computer, lol)

Once upon a time, there was a princess named [feminine name]. Everybody wanted to marry her! But she always rejected them.
Then one day, a [adjective] prince named [masculine name] came to ask for her [body part] in marriage. He was sure she'd accept! But she said no.
Prince [masculine name] was [emotion]! How could she do this to him?
So he decided to [verb] her entire kingdom to another [location], and unleash [supernatural creatures or cryptids] to roam the streets until she changed her mind.
But right before he could force her to marry him, someone else spoke up! They said they were [adjective] in love with the prince, despite only knowing him for [small number] [measurement of time]! This is because they had read a story about him that said he was cursed and the only way to break it was to marry [type of royalty] from the princess's kingdom. And as it turned out, this person was just that! A long lost member of the family, so they could marry the prince instead!
The prince was [emotion], but accepted this proposal.
And so they did and the prince returned princess [feminine name]'s kingdom to its rightful dimension and the prince and his new princess named [name] lived happily ever after the end.
…only not really because the curse wasn't actually broken but instead summoned the princes's dead [relative] who tried to raze princess [feminine name]'s kingdom to the ground so the prince came to stop them but princess [name] was there too and when the [relative] tried to zap the prince his princess [verb, past tense] in the way and that made the prince [emotion] so he zapped the relative back across the veil with the power of love and THEN they lived happily ever after the real end.
