It was a typical Thursday afternoon at the Galactic Federation headquarters. Ian Malcovich was leaning on a wall by his best friend Samus's apartment door. "Come on Samus, were going to be late" Ian whined as he waited patiently. Just then the door opened and Samus appeared behind it. "I coming Ian relax, their only 6 year olds I don't think they will be angry if we're 2 minutes late reading their story".
The two then made their way down the long hallway and continued their conversation. "I don't know Samus some kids can get really upset when they don't get their story time."Samus simply replied with an eye roll. "Whatever you say Ian. Anyways why do you need me to help? You're reading a book how hard is it? Ian simply smiled, " Well if you must know Adam usually comes with me but he's in a board meeting right now and can't make it, so I was hoping my best friend could keep me company."
"Well only because you're my friend I'll come with you. And for the fact you probably wouldn't survive being attacked in by little kids." Ian only smirked at her comment. They rounded a corner and arrived at their destination the Library. There was a giant crowd of children sitting on floor barely able to contain their excitement.
"Hey guys you ready for story time? " Ian asked the group. "Yes story time," one girl cheered. "What are you reading us this today? " some boy in the front asked. " Is she you're girlfriend? " asked another. Ian laughed at the last comment and began to walk towards a bookshelf. "Today we are going to read a fairytale, one you may of heard of." Once he reached the shelf, his hand hovered over the books until he found the one he was looking for. "Ah ha" Ian as he pulled a blue book from the shelf. He walked back to the children and sat down on the rocking chair in front and then gestured Samus to sit beside him.
"Alright, today's story is…..Sleeping Beauty!" The crowd of children happily cheered for the story. Samus on the other had look of confusion on her face. Growing up on Zebes she had never heard of fairytales only chozo legends and myths. Sleeping Beauty? Is she asleep for the entire story? Wouldn't that be kinda boring to listen to? These questions and more plagued Samus's mind. Ian quickly saw the look on his friend's and could barely contain his laughter. " Don't tell me you've never heard of sleeping beauty. It's a classic fairytale, with a princess, prince, evil dragon…" Ian stopped because it was clear Samus had no idea what he was talking about. " Oh well I guess you'll have to hear to understand it." Ian then opened the book and began.
Once upon a time….
