The Pincess and the Pirate

Ok. So, I know I've been really behind on my blog, but I'm going to catch up. I've just been really busy and have never felt comfortable posting stuff on the internet like this. But, I think I will post some of the stuff I've been working on and thinking about. This is the introduction to a story I'm writing for my nieces. I think that my biggest problem is I'm not entirely sure where to take the story. My eldest neice Lindsay is the Princess and Kaitlyn, her younger sister, is the pirate. I've never really written a childen's story before so, I'm not sure how much is too much. I also have a third niece I want to incorperate into the story. I'm not sure what she should be. I'm thinking perhaps a pixi.
Lindsay insisted that she was a butterfly and Kaitlyn was a lady bug since she was quite small. So, Fifaldora means butterfly in Anglo Saxon and La Catarina means Lady bug in Spanish. I don't think most people will know the Anglo Saxon word but, what are you going to do, right?
So, here it is.


There was once a beautiful young princess named Lindsay who lived in the land of Fifoldara. Princess Lindsay was intelligent, clever, and in all other ways brilliant. She loved singing, dancing, horseback riding and all of the things that an appropriate princes should do. Lindsay liked being a princess, and she was very good at it.
There once was another young and beautiful princess. Pirate Kaitlyn was a princess of the seven seas. Her kingdom was the sea and her throne, her ship La Catarina. Pirate Kaitlyn was bright, quick and in every other way inspired. Kaitlyn loved sailing her ship, having adventures and finding treasures. Kaitlyn did everything a proper pirate should do. Kaitlyn loved being a pirate, and she was very fine at it.
Now, it just so happens that the sea, Kaitlyn’s kingdom, touched the border of Princess Lindsay’s kingdom. Or, I guess you could say that Fifoldara bordered the sea. Either way, it was clear that the two princesses were about to meet.

I know that I want Lindsay and Kaitlyn to go on all sorts of adventures together, but I can't seem to think of a plausable reason that they would and how scary is too scary? They aren't very old. I would like this to be something special for them though where they have lots of adventures together.
