A/N: This is what you call something that won't leave me alone. I'm pretty sure this has been done before but I'll try and put my own twists on it. Basically Kaed's telling stories using her friends as characters so no, this isn't actually happening. This happens anytime in high school (first or second year) when the Generation of Miracles still sort of are a bit hostile but it's not and out and out hate-fest. AU maybe? Also they would be on a break from school most likely.

Table

Bold = Author's notes (at the top and bottom) or phone calls (in story)

["Italics in brackets"] = minor interruptions to storytelling

Normal font = storytelling or regular scene, I'll put line breaks in-between to prevent confusion since it sort of switches point of view since Kaed is doing the storytelling but the rest is in third person.

And I think that should clear up any future confusion.

Story 0: Prologue

Babysitting was not one of her strong suits. As much as she practically did it with her more immature friends it was different. Her friends were all teens who were expected to take care of themselves, compared to a hyperactive nine-year old and a very girlish eight-year old her friends were all completely normal. She blamed it on her dad.

It had all began when he had received a call from his wayward sister. She had wanted to reconnect with the family starting with her older brother. Kaed had never met her aunt, much less her two children. So when the adults planned to go out on a day trip, she was omitted much to her chagrin.

Now she was stuck with her two estranged cousins in an empty house. The meeting had been awkward enough and now they were stuck with each other for the rest of the day and night. She wouldn't have had a problem if they could just quiet down for a second. . .

"I want to watch the reality channel Onii-chan!" the petite, even for her age, girl whined (now Kaed was pretty sure she was one of the only taller people in her family). Stamping her foot to get her point across, she huffed and blew her long brown hair out of her face.

Her brother simply stuck out his tongue mockingly, "Well I got the remote first Chinatsu!"

"Onee-san! Tell Onii-chan to stop being so mean!" Chinatsu cried, turning to her older cousin for help.

With a sigh, Kaed shifted up from her laying position on the couch, "Taiki, stop teasing your sister, and Chinatsu we can switch off after he's done with his show," she tried to compromise.

Flopping down on the floor with his back braced against the couch, Taiki grumbled, "Do we really have to? I thought you were different from out other cousin, does this mean you like to drool over guys too?"

Using her foot to nudge Taiki's side, Kaed huffed, "No I do not. I'm just being fair to your sister."

Groaning, Taiki flicked off the television (earning an indignant squeak from Chinatsu), "Now I'm bored and I really don't want to watch anything. Don't you have anything we can do Onee-san?"

Kaed shook her head, "Unless you changed your mind about playing basketball than no. Any suggestions Chinatsu?"

Scrunching up her eyebrows, Chinatsu thought very hard. "Well Onii-chan is going to complain if we watch what I want to watch…" she mused. Appearing to have a light-bulb moment Chinatsu jumped up, "I know!" training a begging gaze to Kaed she went on, "You can tell us stories!"

"Huh?" she was confused by the request for a moment before replying, "Well I don't really have any stories off the top of my head…" Kaed said.

"Improvise than!" Taiki suggested, "I want to hear stories too! With swords and monsters and heroes and cool stuff!"

"And princes and kings and queens! Like a fairy-tale!" Chinatsu piped in.

Heaving a sigh, Kaed pinched the bridge of her nose, "Alright, alright, let's see a story…" she thought about it for a minute before getting an excellent idea in her head, their requests struck a trigger in her mind. "How about I tell you all about a few of my friends, they have many stories made about them."

Nodding quickly, the younger ones gave all their attention to the older girl.

"Now we begin…"

A/N: Fractured fairy-tales anyone? That's the basic premise I was originally just going to have a collection of these stories but I figured having the narrator being a friend to them might work better humor-wise. Since of course they're probably going to show up at some point and wonder what the heck Kaed was telling the kids about them.

So! With that said, any suggestions for the types of stories she should tell them? I really want some feedback on this lest the stories get repetitive. Also, since I plan for other characters to pop up who do you want to see? It can be anyone introduced thus far in Dissonance (OCs included). And that's a wrap on the prologue!

Preview: Aomine becomes a pixie, Kuroko is a ghost with disappearance issues, Midorima is a girl, Murasakibara is a giant with a sweet-tooth and Kise is an idiotic prince
