The Adventures of TamTam and TomTom

I wrote this story for our lovely choreographer. Enjoy and don't forget to read it in your best Giselle voice!

Once upon a time in the horrible, dreadful, no fun land of BigGirlJob, there lived a beautiful maiden named TamTam.
TamTam was nicest and most fun maiden in all the land but she had a secret.When TamTam was just a baby, the evil queen put a curse on TamTam that took away her sense of direction and made it extremely hard for TamTam to find her way.
Over the years, TamTam had become very good at U-turns, but she longed for a noble prince who could help her find her way.
TamTam's curse even extended to those she drove with like Princess Kate who almost killed them upon the scary and very dangerous highway. TamTam needed a prince to come save her from her curse for she knew that true love's kiss was the only thing to break the spell.
One day, when visiting the magical land of Indiana while riding her horse, Clementine, TamTam mistook the land for Canada, a dreadful land up north with lots of snow and ice.TamTam clung to her horse for comfort until at once she came upon a Penguin."
Dearest TamTam," said the Penguin. "Do not fear my child.""How do you know my name?" asked TamTam."Why, everyone on IMMB knows you, TamTam. Can I have a picture?"
"No...unless you can help me find my way out of this dreadful land. Then I will surely take a picture with you, Penguin."
"Just follow this Idina Purple Stone Road. It will take you to your prince."
In a flash of neon green smoke the Penguin was gone.TamTam stepped upon the first stone of the road as more stones appeared with each step.
TamTam led Clementine to the end of the road which stopped at the castle of the almighty queen Dory.
As TamTam walked to the edge of the moat, a draw bridge came down and a small Frog summoned TamTam.
"Did you have trouble finding the castle, dear?" asked the Frog.
"No, I just followed the Idina Purple Stone Road the whole way," she replied.
"It's good to see you've made it, TamTam."
"You know my name too?"
"Everyone on IMMB knows you, TamTam!"
So TamTam followed the Frog down a long corridor until she came to a doorway.
"Here is where your challenge begins. You must prove that you are worthy of your prince by performing for him," the frog told her.
"But I haven't any talents to show, Frog."
"You have until tomorrow to find your special gift,"
The Frog said as he bowed and walked away.
TamTam began to cry feeling like she may never get her prince to break the spell.
Hours went by as TamTam sat trying to come up with a special talent to prove herself worth.
Then, in a poof of pink smoke, the empress ShoSho appeared.
"Why are you crying, TamTam?" asked the empress.
"I have no talent to show my prince my love and he will never break the dreaded spell. Tomorrow I must prove myself worthy," she answered.
"Child, you have the gift of your dancing," she told TamTam and as quickly as she had come, she disappeared.
Tamtam was very confused but began to move her arms and legs. She put her heart and soul into dancing and thought only of her prince. The only problem was she had no music.
"Oh, how I wish I had some music," TamTam sighed.
Then suddenly a flying llama broke down the corridor wall and delivered a CD before flying away.
TamTam put the CD in and began to dance with all of her ability. The king heard the loud crash and came to see what the commotion was about. His was flabbergasted as he watched TamTam's beautiful dance. At once he summoned his son, TomTom.
Upon watching her dance, TomTom knew that TamTam was the princess for him. TomTom ran to TamTam and they began to dance together. Their movements completely in synch and when their dance was over, they fell into an embrace and kiss. TamTam felt the spell break as she suddenly knew her way home.
TamTam had no desire to go home, though, for she knew that TomTom was her true love.
TamTam and TomTom got married the next day and lived happily ever after.
The End.
