An Era of Charming Tales: (Bruno and Rose Red) The Red Rose

We will get started soon but let’s first take a quick look back and see the story BEFORE this story … in a nutshell the story of Bruno and the Charming family.  A story of true love and destiny.

Snow was pregnant with the triplets and Prince, being concerned for her health, took the family on a nice quiet holiday.   Rose White was out frog hunting when first her path crossed Bruno’s.  So frightened, Rose White froze unsure of whether to stay or run away.  But when he stopped right in front of her and she looked into his eyes, he had nicest smiling eyes, her fear vanished.

They became the fastest of friends … the Charmings grew to love him and he loved them too 🙂   In the years to come they would spend many happy days together.

It was not long before Snow started to notice that there was a special bond growing between Bruno and Rose Red.  Rosie had declared him to be her bestest bestest friend ever!  They were inseparable those two!

Bruno and his family were a part of all the castle happenings.  Their friendships brought a joy to both families.

Rose Red (Rosie)  grew in her devotion for Bruno more and more as time passed.   She was not alone in these feelings, Bruno even went so far as to confess his affection for Rosie to Rose White.  Rose White was not surprised in the least.

On her 16th birthday Rosie disclosed that she and Bruno wished to make it official  .. they were a couple!  Snow was stunned. I mean after all he IS a bear.  But she loves her daughter and wants them to be happy.

So the little couple gets the family blessing.

His family dearly loves Rosie.  They had seen her grow up and they too have seen the love their son has for this unusual princess grow and blossom.  They adore everything about her .. well except Momma Bear thinks perhaps Rosie need a little bit of meat on her bones.  She delights in feeding Rosie.  Momma Bear is a fantastic cook so Rosie gladly obliges her by enjoying all that Momma Bear sets before her.

AND SO it seems like it will be happily ever after ???  But as with most stories all is not as it seems.

One quiet day Bruno get the courage and tells Rosie the family secret … they were once a royal family …

The time came for his Great Great Grandfather to assume the royal duties much to the displeasure of his Great Great Auntie.

She cursed her own brother and took the throne for herself.  (In that their family name was Orisni .. little bear .. it seemed fitting to her to to transform him into a bear.)  She would only be allowed to have 100 years to establish her line. If she did not succeed the throne would return to her brother’s family.

This curse would pass to any who married into the family.  Bruno is desperate to find a cure and not subject his beloved Rose Red to that fate.

That 100 year is near its end and Evella, the evil Queen’s descendant becomes increasingly alarmed with the passing of the days. She knows her line is not established and  her time draws to an end.  She is working to keep the curse in place.

As fate would have it, one day Bruno met a sweet plant sim couple out in the woods.  After just a few moments of conversation they knew instantly that this was no ordinary bear.  The pressed him with their observation.  Bruno of course denied it.  Juniper informed him firmly that “we plant sims are much more in tune with all living things.”  After a little squirming Bruno spilled it .. all of it.   Ash and Juniper, who by the way were henchmen for the evil queen, (albeit, because of their good nature, not very good henchmen …  Evella cannot keep good help so she has taken to growing her own)  knew their Mastress had a special book that might help Bruno find an answer.  At great personal risk they procured the book and brought it to Bruno.

Bruno opened the book and read.  Excitedly he raced to tell Rosie … he had an answer!

“The book gave me this .. he offered up the rose.  IT is the answer to break the curse.  The book said the curse would be broken from a kiss from the red rose.  The kiss of truest love.”

Papa and Mama came running  … Papa threw his arms around his son.   There is great joy for curse has been broken.  After a long terrible century throne has returned to their line!

I will note that not every one in the kingdom is happy.  Evella has discovered that the book is missing.

Who would dare do such a thing …

… they will pay!
