A Princess' Misery

Chapter One: Misery and Happiness

I weakly threw a rock at my reflection, showing myself slouching as I sat upon the grass, a glum look seen on my snout-like face. There are seven words: I. Don't. Want. To. Be. A. Princess.

Yes, that's right. I don't want to do nasty work, sitting around and ordering people around! Every single day of my life consisted of days of just that! And worst of all, my duties as a princess pushes away time for…being a kid again.

The message is clear: no one ever gets to stop growing. Not even people who live regular lives. We can't bask our lives enjoying. We can't just have fun every day of our lives. We can't be positive and energetic all the time. We can't always see a smile on everyone's faces. There are just so many "we can't" s' that all shouts out the same thing: life isn't easy to be happy. In fact, it's never easy to be happy.

And, suddenly, I had tears streaming from my yellow-marked eyes, and splashed upon Arbor Area's lake, now part of the flowing currents. I sobbed quietly, not even caring about the rain that started to pour on my snout, and the thunder that roared nearby.

"I must be the most miserable Pokémon on the planet…" I thought to myself as I looked down the lake, the misery and depression overflowing me. "…just because everything in my life is different from the future I envision it to be."

I was just so depressed! Why I can't ever be happy, I've always wondered. But, when I came back here for the millionth time to reflect, I now know: it's being a princess.

It's getting in the way of everything! I never get to spend time with my friends! My only friends! My only friends who let me join them stop Wish Park from merging with PokePark, if that sounds too crazy to say so blandly, then I'm just too miserable to make a fuss out of it.

Suddenly, my misery was interrupted…

"May I help you…Princess?"

…And then the foolish feelings arrived.
