Barbie in the Nutcracker Page #2

---

Well? What news do you bring?

I wish I could remember, but I'm

so hungry. I feel weak, no faint...

You insolent little bat! I should

turn you into a ceiling fan!

That would be a shame. Then I couldn't tell

you the juicy bit of gossip I overheard.

Thank you very much, Your Most Royal Majesty.

May I say you're looking specially

regal this evening, Sire.

Er, right. Well for starters, Nutcracker's back.

What? Here?

And he's got some girl with him.

Don't know where she came from.

I do.

Now here comes the good part.

They're looking for a Sugarplum Princess

who can, supposedly, defeat... you.

Err... according to the Nutcracker.

Sugarplum Princess?

I've never heard of a Sugarplum Princess.

Bring me the royal registery.

And bring me the Nutcracker.

It's what's left of the Gingerbread Village.

Mouse King's work, no doubt.

I didn't know things

had gotten this bad.

Steady! We won't hurt you.

It's an ambush! Take cover!

It's alright. They're just children.

With very good aim.

Wait! We found this. Is she yours?

Patty!

What happened here?

We went out with Marzipan

to gather candle berries.

- We came back and everything...

- ...and everyone...

- ...were gone!

It was the Mouse King's Army.

This is all Prince Eric's fault.

Who's Prince Eric?

The son of the King who ruled

before the Mouse took over.

Yeah, but he wasn't much of a Prince.

The King left his throne and the

golden scepter to his Royal Advisor.

The Mouse.

Until the Price could

prove himself worthy.

Let me guess. The Mouse

decided he liked being King.

But what happened

to Prince Eric?

- Don't know, don't care.

- We're better off without him.

It's dangerous here. We'll travel

together until we can find you a safe home.

The Mouse King's Army.

Carrying what's left of our village.

There they are!

Come on!

Come on, into the woods!

They're getting closer!

Up here!

Get 'em!

Is everyone alright?

I'm not really sure.

Well, what have we here?

A wooden spy? Some new

kind of Mouse King trap?

- Kidnappers, as well.

- No! They helped us!

If you have nothing to hide, you

won't mind answering a few questions.

Come, children. Masha

will take care of you.

Let's start with who you are

and what you're doing here.

I'm Nutcracker. This is Clara. We're

both victims of the Mouse King's magic.

We're trying to find the only one who

can defeat him:
the Sugarplum Princess.

The Sugarplum Princess?

I've never heard such a ridiculous story!

It's the truth. Told to

me by Prince Eric himself.

Ha! Prince Eric! He's the

reason we're in the mess.

If it weren't for that reckless boy, the Mouse

King wouldn't be turning everyone into knick-knacks.

You make the Prince sound pretty awful.
