## Story

The episode starts with Prince Frederick wanting to re-read the Dogyssey, another of his favorite books from when he was a child, but remembering that he lent it to Gwendolyn in his first attempt to invite her to the Bippity Bop Gala. He wonders if Gwen ever had a chance to read it, since she was so swamped with the preparations for her dinner party. As he gets into bed and recalls the plot, he begins dreaming of what happens in the book, and realizing that the tale might be simultaneously both similar and not similar with real life, as he and the people he has met become the characters.

*There was a dog* (which is Frederick in the dream) *who learned he shouldn't expect to be saved by his angel of fortune. One day, he decided to climb out of the hole himself and embark on a long and tiring journey in order to reaches his angel of fortune at the end of the journey* - which he relates to the time he asked Gwen out to the Gala. *He gains strength and courage by facing terrifying monsters*, which Frederick relates to his 'terrifying' encounter when meeting the members of the CPC: Prez as a were-spider, Whitney as a white tiger monster, Monika as a giant crow monster, Abbi as a giant ready to punch him, Syrah with a longer, nail-covered nose, and Thermidora clapping her lobster pinchers.

He thinks in order to reach his angel of fortune he needs to defeat the terrifying monsters, but it turns out real life is different than the book. *Those 'monsters' become his friends and help him gain courage and strength in ways that he never would have on his own.* As for Gwendolyn, he guesses he did succeed in reaching her but *it feels like it isn't the end of the journey, more like there's a long road ahead for both of them to travel together.* He feels that they'll still need to overcome a lot of things... *like the serpent.* Frederick suddenly wakes up from the dream, screaming and gasping as he realizes that he's dreamt about the serpent again. The oddity is, the giant serpent doesn't appear in the Dogyssey tale...

## Trivia

* This episode is different than the other Season 3 bonus episodes, which tell the story of Jolie's curse. Instead, it is more similar to the 4th bonus episode of Season 2 which is about Frederick dreaming of him and Gwendolyn being the protagonists of one of his favorite tales as a child.
