A story my husband wrote for me. Cuz he's super pawsum like that. XD

_ True Love

_ There was a prince of the countryside and a princess of the city. No two royal people could seem more opposite.
_ Both enjoyed music from their royal musician, however they both wanted different types of music played. The city princess (from the Hills of Haver) enjoyed a style of music that gave the countryside prince (from the Fords of Mil) a headache and made him want to rip his ears off from his oddly shapen head.
_ Most of the people in the Fords of Mil noticed the Prince's oddly shaped head but none would say anything about it because they all feared that the prince might become angry and sentence them to hard labor in the sweat shop known as Hitchiner.
_ Hitchiner people worked very hard for a small wage. Even the queen of the Fords of Mil was not able to escape the reaches of Hitchiner, but that's a different story.
_ Back to the music issue finally. The prince enjoyed a style of music that would cause the listeners to swing their heads up and down, trying to slam their brains into their skulls and make it all go away.
_ The princess of the city and the prince of the countryside were very different people.
_ However the countryside prince did some work at the chariot races in the township of Lee. The Jester of the Hills of Haver also did enjoy the chariot races. The jester and the prince became friends. The jester was also friends with the princess of the Hills of Haver.
_ Most jesters are fun loving and funny, however this jester also had a darker side of selfishness and greed. This jester would do things for his own needs without concern for others, as he would prove in the future.
_ Through the jester the prince met the princess at an all you can eat buffet, which was the custom at the time.
_ During the meal the prince could not help but notice the princess had beautiful hands and fingers. He became drawn to her hands and he couldn't stop staring at her beautiful hands and fingers.
_ The princess, who had seen paintings of the prince before, was captivated by his head. She wondered if the paintings were exaggerated and here he was in front of her and she could tell the paintings were correct and accurate. His head was that oddly shapen!
_ Still, there was something that she found attracted about him. His face, his ears, the way his nose was slightly off center. Something about his face was undeniable for her and she hoped he wouldn't catch her sneaking peeks at his face, but he was too busy staring at her hands to notice that.
_ After the traditional meal of Fries of French and Fingers od Chicken the trio (the jester was driving the chariot) went to play Knockem' Down, another tradition.
_ During the game of Knockem' Down, the princess found herself looking at more of the prince and the prince started looking at more of the princess. They also, and more importantly, got to know each other.
_ The prince discovered that the princess was a gentle and caring person that wanted everyone around her to be happy and felt everyone's pain along with the large amount of pain that she already felt. This was an unhappy princess that so badly wanted to be happy. In her short moments of happiness she glowed, and he found that addicting.
_ The princess found that the prince was a patient and understanding man with compassion that was only surpassed by her own. She saw that he was a man that had an inner beauty that far outweighed any outer beauty of even the finest models in all of the Hills of Haver.
_ After the game of Knockem' Down the three went back to the modest castle in the Fords of Mil for a short while where it was revealed that the prince was going to be imprisoned for close to 5 years, perhaps longer in the near future.
_ The princess said she would write to him and the prince said "Write to me now?" and she agreed.
_ The two exchanged thousands of letters and grew very close. Even though little time had passed, the Prince and the Princess had begun to fall in love.
_ The prince and the princess planned a weekend with the jester, but the jester backed out. The prince and the princess decided to go ahead and keep the plan and spend the weekend together.
_ The weekend was wonderful and the two had thei first royal meeting. During their first royal meeting the prince said "I want to show you something." The princess knew what was coming and she agreed. He held up his hand and said "hold your hand close to mine and put your face close to mine, but do not touch me."
_ She did as he instructed. Her hands wer trembling and her mouth started to water a bit, but her lips became dry. She licked her lips slightly, staring into his eyes.
_ He stared back and said "Closer."
_ She glanced at her hand without turning her head and moved her hand a little closer. She inched her face closer to his. She could feel his breath on her mouth as he exhaled from his nose. She licked her lips again as they dried out one more time from nerved and the prince's breath. She locked eyes with him again, a little shy but awaiting more instruction.
_ He stared back and said "Closer" one more time to the princess.
_ She again glanced only with her eyes to her hand as she moved her hand as close as she could without touching his hand. She felt the heat swirl between the two hands as the passion built. The butterflies in her stomach were huge, they might as well have been dragons at this point as far as she was concerned.
_ She gave her lips one last short lick, as did the prince (his own), and she moved her face closer to the prince's. Their noses grazed one another for an instant, the small hairs on their faces touching but the skin staying seperate, for now. She once again looked at the prince, knowing what was coming next, wanting what was next and being afraid of it as well.
_ Next was the first royal kiss and she wanted it more than she wanted anything else at that moment, but she was scared. She had only kissed a few people before and never a prince like this.
_ He was older than her, by 16 years, certainly he has kissed princesses before! What if their kisses were better than her kiss is? What if she messes it up like she had messed up so many other things up?
_ She remembered the pumpkin pie judging problem that she caused when she made a joke that only she thought was funny about "pie for your pumkin made out of your pumpkin," and how it could mean you made a pie for a gord out of your spouse.
_ She worried that it might be too wet or too dry. What if she turned her head in the same direction that he turned his? Disaster! It would be chaos! Kissing anarchy could result!
_ No, this kiss was probably a bad idea. She was going to back out of it. Everything inside of her said back out of the kiss, but his blue eyes simply said "Closer."
_ She realized that their eyes were still locked. He hadn't moved or kissed her yet. Why not? What was wrong? Was he going to bail out?
_ Just as she started to worry that the prince was going to back away his hand touched hers. She thought to herself "He said not to touch..."
_ Then his fingers closed around her hand, his hand was so much larger than hers that her hand almost automatically closed as well, but it also felt right to close her hand.
_ "Any time now" she thought to herself. She looked into his eyes as he looked into hers and he saw what he was looking for in her eyes.
_ He leaned in, sliding his nose along hers, until his lips touched hers. Their eyes closed and the rest of the world stopped existing the second their lips met. Other chariots traveling past their stopped chariot didn't matter. The rain outside didn't matter.
_ It was an amazing royal kiss. Amazing because of the people that were doing the kissing and the emotion behind it. Amazing because the love was already there before the kiss took place.
_ It might not have been the kiss that wins "best kiss" at an award night for most people, but for the prince and the princess it was most certainly the best kiss ever.
_ The romance built over the following 2 months and the princess moved into the castle of the Fords of Mil, forsaking her throne in the Hills of Haver, at least temporarily. She was told she could resume her throne if she wished.
_ As time went on the prince, who had been married twice before and had sworn off of marriage, knew that he wanted to spend his life with his much younger princess.
_ He found a most inopportune time ans asked her to marry him and to his joy she agreed.
_ The wedding was the smallest royal wedding in history. The jester didn't even come, even though he was invited. Only the queen of the Fords of Mil was in attendance, nobody else was even aware the wedding was taking place.
_ One month and two days after the wedding the prince was taken to prison and locked up.
_ During the time he was locked up the jester came to the castle and visited the princess and tried to kiss her. She refused. He tried again but she threw him out of the castle.
_ The princess felt bad and would later try to befriend the jester to no avail, the jester had shown his true colors and they were ugly.
_ The prince was locked up for a long time but the princess communicated with his and visited him whenever she could. She waited for him the entire time that he was in prison.
_ When the time came for the prince to be released into supervised release called "royal parole" the princess and the queen were there waiting for him outside of the prison.
_ They knew that he was concerned about going back to the Fords of Mil because of his time in prison and the thought of everyone knowing him so they had a surprise for him.
_ They had given up the castle in the Fords of Mil and moved to another countryside town in a small house.
_ The family was no longer a royal family, and this troubled the former prince a great deal.
_ He said "Because of me we are no longer an important family."
_ The former princess said "You made this family important before and you will again. This family is an important family because of the love that's in it."
_ The former prince said, "You never cease to amaze me, do you know that?"
_ The former queen said "Lets go home."
_ The former prince and princess had two children, one boy and one girl (both with beautiful hands and properly shaped heads) and they had 6 birds as pets as well as 2 dogs.
_ I would like to say they lived hapily ever after, but they lived in the real world and they had problems just like any other couple, but they always forgave, never went to bed angry, and they never forgot the love that kept them together while the prince was in prison.
_ Now that we look at it that way, I guess that qualifies as "hapily ever after" doesn't it?

_ The End
