Lotsa OOC. Bwahaha. ~ Once up a time in a kingdom far away there lived a King and a Queen. They had been childless for many years and wanted a child more then anything. Finally the Queen had a daughter and there was much rejoicing throughout the kingdom. To celebrate the birth of their new child, the King and Queen had a party and invited everyone around. "Oh, she's so cute!" Queen Karen said of her daughter as the baby slept in a cradle where everyone could see her. "Of course," King Seiichirou smiled, then looked at the man standing by the throne. "Weren't the three fairies supposed to arrive by now?" "They should be here shortly, Your Highness." Kusanagi replied, pulling a gold watch out of his pocket and looking at it. As if on cue, the palace door opened and in came three figures. The first had long white hair and was traveling in a small bubble that floated several feet above the ground. The second had short, black hair and was accompied by a puppy who floated in the air next to her shoulder. As she walked toward the thrones, her path took a slight veering to the left toward Kusanagi. The third had long, wavy blond hair, and a white dress on. Out of all the fairies, she looked most the part. <Your majesties> The first fairy, Hinto, said to Karen and Seiichirou in her telepathic way. "We are the three fairy sisters." continued Yuzuriha, as she stood to the side next to Kusanagi. "And we have come to bless the new Princess with gifts." Kotori finished, swirling around her wand. "That's wonderful!" Karen clapped her hands together. "Thank you," King Seiichirou said, nodding. Hinoto extended a hand from her bubble and waved her wand over the sleeping baby. <I grant her the gift of great beauty. Her looks will be such that any man would die for her.> Yuzuriha reluctantly stepped away from Kusanagi and waved her Pocky shaped wand just as Hinoto had. "I grant her the power of strength, so that she may be able to draw a sword from her hand if she needs it." Kotori lifted her own wand, but before she could say anything, the doors to the palace flew open and manaical laughter entered. Kanoe walked in, attired in a low cut black dress that left nothing to the imagination, which quite a few men in the room were happy about. She looked around briefly before exclaiming loudly. "You hold a celebration and don't invite me? You even invite my sister!" She sneered at Hinoto and stormed up to the cradle. Karen raised an eyebrow. "I'm sorry we didn't invite you, but we thought you would be too busy." She leaned toward Seiichirou. "Too busy getting laid," she whispered. "I heard that!" Kanoe reached into her dress and pulled out a wand covered with chains. "And for that, I am bestowing a curse on your child." She pointed the wand at the child. "When you turn 16, you will prick your finger on a spindle and die!" With that said, she disapeared. ~ The other parts need to be worked on...I'm not even sure about this part...suggestions?</pre><p><a href="./">Back</a></p><p><a href=http://www.dreamhost.com/donate.cgi?id=216><img border=0 alt="Donate towards our web hosting bill!" src=https://secure.newdream.net/donate1.gif></a></p></body></html>
