Jet hated happiness and found it unfair that everyone was happy but not him. Why couldn't he be happy?

So he overthrown King Joy and took the throne. He made laws and rules that made it illegal to be happy because he wanted everyone to feel the same sadness that he felt.

There was a wizard who was said to be the most powerful one in the land but they were wrong, there was a girl.

This young girl was part of a powerful village that would always carry a smile and laugh from time to time but on that fateful day when the King Jet took over the land.

Buttercup made a vow to not show a frown but a smile, to not cry but laugh....she left her village and began her journey. Don't worry she will be back because when she comes back her family will greet her with a smile and she'll ensure that they will…...so she began her journey with a smile and will end it with a smile because she is one determined girl.
