It's been so long since everyone's changed. Sometimes I forget who I really am.

You won't believe this, but my brothers and I have been transformed into tea cups. 

I was quite scared at first--well I still am a little.

I mean, it was already hard enough being so small in such a big world, and now I'm even smaller!

Mama says not to worry though. She always tells me that the smaller you are, the more room you will have to leave a big impact in the world. She always knows just what to say.

She often calms my master too.

My master... 

Ya know, I used to be so close to him. 

He was nice.

He even taught me how to ride horses and sword battle even though my mother worked for him in the kitchen. 

I didn't really have friends, only him and my younger brothers. 

However, that was before he turned into a terrifying beast. 

I missed when he was a prince. My mother now is a teapot.

She helps in the kitchen and keeps things in order. I love helping her with her duties.

Lately, the prince seemed to be very frustrated; his anger is so frightening.

I didn't understand why until one day I saw a new face.

She was rather astonishing with bright red cheeks and beautiful brown hair.

She seemed lost and scared. My family and I heard her crying so we brought

her some tea. We wanted to show her great hospitality and make her feel at home

I told her my name was Chip.She's so sweet I wish she was my age. Wow, if only she knew what was in store for h
