Princess Peach Pie

Princess Peach was feeling homesick for her kingdom one day and decided to make a peach pie with the freshest peaches she could find. As she was rolling out the dough, she noticed that her pet Toad had climbed onto the counter and was eyeing the peaches hungrily. Suddenly, Toad pounced on one of the peaches and started bouncing around the kitchen with it! Peach tried to catch him, but he was too quick. Before she knew it, the peach had flown out of Toad's hands and into the pie crust, making a mess. Rather than waste the dough and peaches, Peach decided to bake the pie anyway. To her surprise, it turned out to be the most delicious pie she had ever made. The sweet and juicy peaches made up for the messy dough, and Peach realized that sometimes accidents can lead to unexpected greatness.
