Words: 287

Once upon a time there was a breathtakingly beautiful princess born in a legendary castle on a beautiful planet. She grew to be the most alluring, gorgeous woman in the solar system. Not only was she known throughout all the worlds for her divine goddess-like appearance, but she was also extremely intelligent and very powerful. So powerful in fact, that she commanded a group of powerful guardian princesses. Being the champion of love and beauty she lured many a handsome prince into enslavement of her every whim. It was as if she wove a spell of obsession with every smile, wink and flirtatious comment.

Once upon a time, this princess met a man whom proved to be her match in every way imaginable and she secretly pledged her sacred heart to him.

"MINAKO-CHAN!!!" screamed a voice in my ear.

I turned my head to see who would dare intrude on my - oh…it's Usagi-chan. That's right, we were having tea in the café by the Crown arcade. Still, couldn't she have just waited a few minutes?

"What is it?" I asked.

"What were you thinking about? I've been trying to get your attention for the last 10 minutes!" Usagi huffed in exasperation.

I allowed myself a satisfied grin and answered, "Once upon a time."

"One upon a time, huh? Must have been some fantasy," Usagi commented.
