Synopsis[]
Tootie approaches Timmy with a story she wrote in which Timmy is her "brave knight, like in real life", and asks him if he wants to read it with her. Timmy quickly becomes annoyed and shouts "I'm not your brave knight here or in your stupid story!", which makes Tootie run away crying. Timmy starts to feel guilty about hurting her feelings, and so wishes that he, Cosmo, and Wanda were in her story and could not leave until it ends.
Timmy, now a knight, makes his way to the castle where Princess Tootie is being held, where he encounters a guardian who reveals herself to be Vicky. He commands Vicky to free the princess and lower the castle's drawbridge, and she responds by using the bridge to crush him. Next, Timmy uses a catapult to launch himself toward a window, only for Vicky to remove the apparently fake window so that he slams into a wall. Tootie sees him through a window and tries to help him by letting down what appears to be hair for him to climb up; he has almost reached the window when he realizes that the supposed hair is really a rope tied around a wardrobe, which then falls out the window and lands on him.
Just as Timmy has given up hope of escaping from the story, Cosmo points out the "authorized personnel only" door on the back of the castle. Timmy enters the castle through there and finally confronts Vicky. He threatens her with his sword, but she is unintimidated and draws her own massive sword, which crushes her under its weight. Timmy finds Tootie sleeping on a bed and gives her a kiss, ending the story.
Back in Dimmsdale, Timmy declares that he will never make another wish like that until the next time he has an "attack of conscience", which happens seconds later when Tootie shows him another story and he tells her off again. He finds himself in Tootie's new story, this one being a copy of the movie Titanic.
