It was two days after Christmas, and Penny's first thought was 'If you can't trust your best friend, who can you trust?' So she gave the Wishing Box to her best friend Elizabeth. Or...PRINCESS Elizabeth, as she was soon known in her kingdom of Southern California where she ruled over all the dragons and beasties and even Penny herself.

Penny Dora spent most of the fourth day of Christmas trapped in the wrecked remains of the castle with her former best friend (aka Princess Elizabeth). With the Wishing Box lost in the rubble and dragons now raining fire down on the once quiet town of Cuesta Verde outside, to say things were not looking good was probably an understatement.

On the third day of Christmas, Penny Dora found herself face-to-face with a horde of fire-breathing dragons, oodles of monsters, and at least seven dwarves. All thanks to the girl she used to call best friend, now known as Princess Elizabeth, who ruled over all the lands with her all-powerful Wishing Box.

To escape all the recent drama, the Li'l Depressed Boy and Spike run off for a day of fun and music. Featuring an appearance by Bridge Nine recording artist LEMURIA!
