Love-a-thon Mini Challenge #1 - Mad Libs

Once upon a time, in a far away space port, there lived a smart spy. He lived alone in a cosmetics store, where he had grown up with the deceased owner. He had beautiful ears, and he was known for his shiny red mascara, the only thing he had left of his parents.
Alas, the Viscount of the country became jealous and wanted to own this mascara. So, he
became a wanted person and had to flee into the forest to find a place to hide. After twirling around for hours, hungry and tired, he stumbled upon a restaurant. An old lady appeared, offering him shelter from the bitter cold.  She looked at him with embarrassment and said: "I will protect you, but I need your help first. Years ago I lost something precious and I want it back. You need to climb into the sky and get my ukulele back. Here is a magical chicken wing, throw it into the earth, sprinkle with water and it will sprout a beanstalk. You have 62 days to return before the stalk withers." 

He followed the instructions given to her, and lo and behold, a beanstalk grew and grew and grew all the way up to the clouds. After an exhausting climb, he saw a huge tree house. He walked to the door and knocked. A gravelly voice said: "Fee-fi- fo-fum, who dares to come and enter my house?" He was not afraid and said: "My name is Jamie and I've come to collect an item."

The door made a trilling sound when it opened and revealed a large bathroom filled with golden candlesticks.  He stepped inside and walked towards the spiraling staircase, where a figure moved, cloaked in darkness. "Who are you? Step in to the light, so I can see your face."

The beast growled angry. "Why did you come here? I just want to be left alone." Still, he moved and stood in front of it. There were three horns on his head, and hair all over his face and his mouth was filled with large teeth. He wore a unicorn onesie with a rainbow colored main and tale and iridescent horn.

"What happened to you?" He reached out to touch one of the horns, but the beast flinched. "Many years ago I was cursed by a witch. I have one year left to stab so I can break the spell, but I'm not brave enough."

"If you give me the ukulele, I will help you." In keeping his promise, the beast and he worked for a few hours and that afternoon, the beast transformed into an ordinary older guy. "I can't wait to return to my job as a librarian in the normal world. Can I come with you?" Together they climbed down the
beanstalk, carrying the instrument for the old lady. The moment she saw the guy and her beloved instrument, she started to weep.

"My husband, you have returned!" They hugged and looked at him. "We have to tell you something," the old lady said. "You are our child. We were separated after the curse, but now we are reunited!" From that day, the three of them lived together in the forest, happily ever after.
