Author's Note: I think I'm out of my mind and ambitious at the same time. I have like three fanfics around my belt to finish. And I'm kicking with another one (sigh)… Anyways, I'm new in this cross-over thing but I really find chemistry in KyoHaru… And they are both my fave characters, I just can't help it.

And I think I got a lil carried away with writing that poetic intro that I usually do in my fics. It was the longest I had done so far that it turned into some sort of an introductory chapter… Please bear with it…

A message to Meggy (Panda Girl): Now I finally revealed the X-over pair that I j'adore. I really thought that you'll figure it out. Haha… Best of luck on that pink laptop…

Disclaimer: I don't own any of these animes… I think of the plot though… If there's one…

Late Ever After

Would You Like To Read A Fairy Tale?
(An Introduction)

Once upon time there lived a knight.
A dear lad who felt no glory; held his life in aguish
And to hid his melancholy, he showed the world only wrath
And yet, this knight hid another part of him untold
That behind this fierce facade; hidden a living smile that will soon unfold
An expression that only he shows; to a certain particular he treasured the most
For there is nothing he would do; just to answer his desperation to keep her bliss
Battles came; tears were shed, hearts are torn and mend.
But in the end, he found his call, as to forever reside by her side.
And they live happily ever after…

Once upon time there lived a peasant girl.
The girl is brave; intelligent, talented and undoubtedly beautiful, in sight and in psyche
But the girl is nowhere perfect
She makes mistakes; she fell more than once
The girl, stubborn as she is; continued on to her journey
A journey that led to a meeting, a meeting that formed a bond
Six princes stayed beside her; waiting, until she makes the final judgment
Decisions are done; Emotions had gone; As she chose the one
But in the end, she found her call, as to forever reside by his side.
And they live happily ever after…

Many people are fascinated with fairy tales because on the mere fact that on how much conflict and tragedies that may arise, it will always have a happy ending. These are stories of beauty and magic, of truth and dreams coming true. But not all stories are those of a fairy tale; some are just like this story that I'm about to share with you. A story of which has uncertainty of its own. For even I, have no idea how it will trigger a beginning, its continuity, and how it will all go down afterwards. All I know is that this is a story about a knight and a peasant girl.

For once upon a time there lived a knight; and there lived a peasant girl. They live not in the same kingdom; nor their paths crossed along their separate journeys. But in the end; they both live happily ever after. Each on a tale written of different book; of different title...

Is it possible to have another 'once upon a time' after a 'happily ever after'? Would it be possible to write another fairy tale? Or will it turn into a different story, a tragedy, a comedy, or just a simple narrative? Will it make you weep? Will it make you smile? What emotions will play, or if there will be any? And still, I don't know. You're free to stay, you're free to go, but I'm about to tell the very first tale…
