A/N: I'm totally on a roll today… let's see how long I can keep it up…

Slightly Tilted

By: Michelle Felton and Punkgothicjackal

Prologue: Twila

I never imagined things would ever go this far. Just shows that someone like me isn't destined for eternal loneliness. But me, with a prefect? Years ago the thought would be laughable. Now I'm not so sure.

If someone had told me this years ago, I would have slapped them. I never was the type to follow the rules. In fact, in my time, I broke about every one there was. I still miss it, sometimes, but perhaps it's better I don't resort to my old ways. My significant other wouldn't appreciate it much.

Anyway, back to my reminiscing. Not much to say, I was too smart for my own good and too hostile to attract anything but negative attention. Until him. But I'll save that for later.

I guess you could say my case really was a 'taming of the shrew'. Only my Petruchio didn't starve me.

If he had, I would have killed him.

Case closed.
