Barbie in the Nutcracker Page #5

---

Proving they're gullible idiots.

I've combed through every page of

every book in the Royal Library,

and there's no other mention

of a Sugarplum Princess.

I don't know. They were pretty

keen on finding her island.

She's a fantasy!

But if Nutcracker wants to believe in fairy tales,

he's about to find out this one doesn't

have a happy ending.

Weather's getting worse.

I say we turn about.

Wait!

It's too dangerous! There's been

no sign of this mysterious island.

Not to mention what's going to

happen when this ice starts to melt.

Marzipan saw something.

I'm sure of it.

No time to enjoy the scenery.

Let's find this Princess.

I believe the Nutcracker has

earned the right to lead us.

But-but... he's wood!

And the reason we've made it this far.

I'm only half the reason.

Handing the reigns to a-a stump!

I never heard of such a thing!

- Are you coming?

- Oh, yes.

- Gotcha mates! Off to the palace!

- No!

Wait a minute. Where's the girl?

Don't matter. No way off this island.

Unless she's part mermaid.

I should never have come. What was I thinking?

That I was going to find a magical Princess?

I could always go back home. I'm sure

I've got some doll clothes that would fit.

What am I saying? I can't leave.

I'm their only hope.

If I could just get off this island.

Hello!

Are you sure about this?

Okay then. Let's go-ooo!

Thank you.

They're right. It's time

we stood up to the Mouse.

More wood. I want this to

be an unforgettable show.

Pimm, all is right with the world.

I got the Nutcracker and soon my

worries will be over.

Well, that ain't really so true, Sire.

Oh?

- It seems your subjects are

planning an uh... uprising.

- What?!

I want every last villager, fairy, and general

trouble-maker rounded up to witness

this display of my absolute power!

I'll get right on it, Sire.

Ah, Sire? I can't feel my toes.

Oh, there you are! The King needs

you right away in the courtyard.

And he said if you didn't hurry, you'd

spend the rest of your lives as houseflies.

Or was it horseflies?

Clara!

- What's wrong with the girl?

- We can see her, but she can't see us.

Or hear us, apparently.

Why would the Mouse King post

guards on an empty room?

Clara.

We've got to get out of here.

The Mouse King's building a bonfire.

I doubt it's to warm up the palace.

Sugarplum Princess or no Sugarplum

Princess, that rat's got to be stopped!

- Is this any way to run a Kingdom, Mouse?

- Ahh. You're just in time for your party.

There's more to being a

King than having a crown!

Suddenly you're an expert.

You'll never gain their loyalty

until you've earned their respect!

I don't need their loyalty.
