"Once upon a time, there was a handsome prince named Jeff," A middle aged woman read to her two sons, who were hiding underneath the covers of the younger's bed, listening intently to her.

The smallest of the two smiled widely at this, showing a gap in his teeth because of a recently fallen tooth. The oldest snaked his arm around his shoulder, giving his younger brother a one-armed hug.

"And along with his best friend, Matt, the son of the castle cook, he would look for the different passageways in the castle." She smiled kindly down at her two sons, loving how much they were into the story.

The pair had heard it many times, but they still found a way to love it even more, no matter how many times they heard it.

"On a very special day, Prince Jeff's birthday, both boys escaped from the huge ball that was being thrown and went to look for the secret passage they had overheard the cooks talking about."

Both boys now smiled at each other, sharing knowing smiles because they knew that one; the boys would find what they were looking for, and two; they both would've done something like that if they could.

"What was said about the passage, Mama?" The youngest asked, looking up at her with bright green eyes.

The woman smiled down at him, and told him, "They said that the passage was a secret one built by the great-grandfather of the king, whom was obsessed with secret passages and trying to find new lands."

The older giggled as his brother tried to tickle him, which made their mother give them a somewhat annoyed smile. "Boys, do you want to finish hearing the story?" She asked, slightly getting up as if to show them that she didn't have a problem in leaving.

They quickly laid back down and looked at her intently, the older telling her, "We're ready, Ma. We want to hear the rest of the story."

The woman smiled at how courteous her older son was, then sat back down, deciding that she should get the story over with before they got rambunctious again. "Now, the passage was said to hold a sacred door, a door like no other... A door that held the most magical and beautiful secret to have ever existed."

Now both boys were staring awe-struck at their mother, now completely into the story.

"That secret was a large land, a land which was surrounded by large and vast fields of gold. Now, the only reason those fields were different wasn't only because they were pure gold; as pure as the necklace on the Prince's neck; but also because it was said that they held healing magic. Magic that would have saved the old king from his sickness."

"He looked for the fields because he was sick, Mama?" The younger asked quietly, wide eyed.

"He was. Very, very sick, Jeff. And that's why he looked for the fields. In hopes that they would heal him and he would not lose his throne." The woman informed them, which made the older brother's eyes also widen.

"Did he find them, Mama?" The older asked, making her smile at him.

"He did, Matt. And that's why Prince Jeff and Matt knew what to look for and where they should find it." She answered, then continued with the story. "Both boys looked for hours, passing the various doors they already knew, and even passing some they didn't know. They were intent on finding the door with the golden symbol on it, which was what the old king had painted on it to identify it as the 'Miracle Door'."

"By the time their parents and the party-goers started looking for them, they were deep in the grounds of the castle, walking through narrow hallways that were dimly lit by torches and having to even crawl through some opening, seeing how the deeper they went, the more broken down the castle became."

The candle that dimly lit the room made shadows seemingly dance around, adding to the mysticism in the room that came whenever the woman told her sons any story that had to do with the Fields of Gold. Jeff was now hugging his older brother tightly around the neck, but Matt didn't care, seeing how he was so into the story.

"After a few more hours of searching, and after Matt almost twisted his ankle once, the older frowned, 'Prince Jeff,' He said, 'Maybe we should stop searching. Our parents must be worried about us now, and there is no possibility I will not get grounded for this.' Matt pleaded, but Prince Jeff only shook his head. 'Keep your head up, busboy, we'll find the door soon enough.' He said, walking forward."

"Both boys continued walking, and just when even Prince Jeff was about to give up, he smacked straight into a large door. 'What was that?' Prince Jeff asked, looking up with the small candle he had in his hand. He looked up, and high in the tall door, there was the symbol the boys had been looking for. A large, gold 'M'." And with that she stopped the story and leaned back, smiling as both boys looked at her expectantly.

"What happened next, Momma?" Jeff asked, eyes wide as he clutched Matt's neck tightly.

"Yeah, tell us what happened."

"I think it's about time you two went to bed." She said, getting up from her chair and walking towards the door. "We'll finish the story tomorrow." She promised, getting a groan from both boys.

"But, Momma!" Both boys exclaimed, throwing the sheets away and going to run towards her.

"Do you want to hear the ending tomorrow or do you want to be grounded?" She asked, an eyebrow raised as both boys froze in their steps.

They looked at one another, then Matt started leading Jeff towards his bed. "We'll wait for tomorrow, Momma. Good night." Matt told her, tucking his younger brother into bed.

"Goodnight, Matt. You too, Jeff. Sleep tight, both of you." She said, opening the door then slowly closing it behind her, slightly peering inside just long enough to both turn the light off and see Jeff peck his brother on the cheek.

"Night, Momma." The younger nodded, all the while Matt climbed into his own bed, the sleep finally getting to them.

"Goodnight."

And with that both boys fell asleep, dreaming with the legendary fields of gold and with the promises of finishing the story the next night. Sadly, that never happened.

New story, it's going to be an AU with the Hardy's as good guys and various others as both bad and supporting people. I've been away because of both family problems and having to just get away, but I really hope you like this new story. Two reviews and I'll update tomorrow.
