Aya's Story Time: The Fantabulous Prince and the Taco of Death

Once upon a time, not long ago, there lived a handsome and charismatic prince. He had long, rich hair like that of an angel. He was extremely proud of it; why shouldn't he be? It was his crowning glory.

One day, when the prince was walking home, he felt a foreign stabbing sensation in his stomach. As the prince was also extremely intelligent, he was able to recognize this sensation as "hunger."

"Oh, what I wouldn't give for some food! Perhaps some ambrosia, the food of the
gods, or…" he trailed off. Although he was physically in the streets of the mythical town, his mind was in another world, wondering how he could ever cure his hunger.

He soon realized that there was no restaurants in sight, not even a measly hot dog stand in the area to satisfy his hunger.

Suddenly, he was pushed into the cold, unforgiving, pavement, crushing his thoughts and replacing them with anger.

He slowly turned him, stood a woman dressed like a man, her hair styled into a painfully short pixy cut. The prince was taken aback; how in the world could this woman have ever pushed him over? She was extremely small…she probably only weighed 100 pounds, if that.

"So you want something to eat, huh?" The woman smiled. Her voice did not at all match her appearance, it was almost like a man with a very low voice trying to sing soprano. Her question was equally puzzling to the handsome prince.

"How do you know this? Do I know you?" He babbled

"I know more than you think Aya," she replied in a tone that sent chills down the prince's spine.

"Prince, actually. Mythical Prince," he corrected her.

The being stared at the Mythical Prince for quite a while, making him rather uncomfortable. (Though, of course, he was well acquainted with females staring at him.)

"Aaaanyway, I can give you something to eat, that's why I came, but it will cost you! Bwahahahahahahaha!" The woman, who was evidently a total nut job, cackled. However, the clever prince, possessing the intelligence of a snake, wasn't about to buy just anything from some random stranger.

"Now, when you say food, what do you mean?" He cleverly asked.

"Well you could have a selection of things, such as…" She pulled out a silver platter with a mysterious… thing… on it.

"Gross! What is that thing!" shrieked the Mythical Prince.

"It's called a Taco, Duh," The nut job replied flatly.

"Can I test it?"

"That depends."

"On what?"

"If you can pay."

"I can. I am a prince for god's sake."

The woman reached for the taco. She handed it to him.

"Pay up." The nut job leveled him with an expectant stare, her hand reaching out towards him as a reminder.

"Mut I mbay ook one might!" he argued, his mouth stuffed with taco.

"All sales are final, now pay up. All of it now." she said, eyeing the exploded taco that was all over the ground.

The prince swallowed his serving, "What do you mean? All of it? My family has 900million Yen!"

"I don't mean your money, dear boy. I WANT YOUR HAIR!"

The prince bolted, running as fast as he could with his superior athletic abilities. Unfortunately, he was still no match for the strange woman.

I am sorry to say, that to this day, the prince remains bald as a monk.

Aya looked around. His audience (Kisa, Hiro, and Momigi) was still captivated.

"What was the woman's name Aya-san?" Kisa asked.

"Her name was Aki-" He was interrupted by Tohru screaming "FIIIIIIIRE! THERES A FIIIIIIIIRE!"

They fled the house.

Hiro, trying to talk over Tohru's incessant "omigod what are we going to do"s and "I'm sooooooooorry"s, asked, "Err, Ayame-sensei, will you tell us another story while we wait for Gure-san to get back?"

"Well of course my dear children, now let's see, how about, Aya's Story Time: The Sheep and His Tiger?"

Kisa blushed.

"No? OK, then,"
