A/N: I've been dreaming of this moment ever since I first started reading stories on this site. First off, I'm super impressed by the creativity, originality, and talent everyone here has. It's not that easy to think of a topic AND make it a big hit so I truly admire all of you writers on this site. Secondly, I never thought I'd publish a story on here (much less think of an idea). This is my first fanfic and it's about Ouran because currently I'm super obsessed with it. (btw, Tamaki x Haruhi all the way : D ) I appreciate all reviews and criticism because I believe it makes us (writers) better at writing. If anyone likes this idea and thinks I should continue it (because once again, it's just an idea) then please review : ) It is most appreciated! Without further ado, here is the first preview of Almost Like a Fairytale. (Still thinking of a good title)

Living in a lonesome castle out in the middle of nowhere wasn't as bad as it seemed. I was promised a rescuer by my parents but I wasn't so sure of that because believe it or not, my parents were forced to put me up in the castle because a witch put a spell on them. But, if I wasn't to be contained in the little castle, I was to be murdered on my thirteenth birthday. And well if you're wondering why I had to be put up in a castle, it's because the vile witch probably wanted a chance at power because I was to be the queen of the land one day and my suitor would be the king, of course. The little information that I received was actually told in the way of a story. Seven possible suitors would try to capture my heart out of the view of my little miniscule window located directly fifteen feet above the castle's base. Oh, and did I mention, they were the most handsome in all of the land. Hmm, that really makes me wonder what they are like, but I also wish they would hurry up to let me escape from this depressing castle that I'm all locked up in. As I remember, I was told on my thirteenth birthday, the life ahead of me. Living in a confined space with no outside contact, having a social companion of a mouse at the least, but necessities were dropped off; as simple as that, dropped off and forgotten, like a chore, really. But even so, the story was serious in its own way; the princes would have two shots at winning my heart, they would have the time of two years. Even though I wasn't exactly sure as to what date and time one of them would appear, I was sure to be visited by a magnificent princely character. If that handsome man were to steal my heart, I would be allowed to leave. But the feeling would have to be neutral; the delicate flower of love would have to develop and ripen by their second appearance for me to be able to be free of binding. And so as the story continues, everyone lives happily ever after, that is, only if I fall in love.
