Well guys, I know I have another story to complete, but I've become inspired.

I saw that movie "Mirror Mirror" this weekend, and loved how they revised the fairytale of Snow White… so, I've decided to do the same, using some of my favorite meddler characters, and maybe a few anime characters too, plus others.

So, if you love classic fairytales about princes saving princesses from evil stepmothers… go read a different story, because this one is going to be slightly different ;)

Disclaimer: I don't own the fairytale or any of the characters appearing in this fic, and thanks to the staff and actors who appeared in "Mirror Mirror" for inspiring me :)

Let us begin…

*I*

Once upon a time… though, actually, it's not exactly 'once', since this story has been told before. A lot. So much, in fact, that it would be a surprise that modern two-year-olds don't have it memorized… Heck, a lot of classic fairytales have been retold, remastered, revised, and remade a lot in the past hundred years…

But, I digress. Lets get on with the plot, shall we?

Our story begins in a beautiful kingdom, ruled by the wise and generous king, Tamaki Suoh, and his lovely and equally caring wife, Haruhi. During their marriage, they had a daughter who had her mother's beautiful brown hair, shimmering brown eyes, rose-pink lips, and pure beauty. They named her Kairi, and they raised her to be as loving and caring to the kingdom as they had been.

But, before Kairi even turned two, a tragedy had struck the kingdom. The queen had gone out with her husband to the beach for their anniversary, and a great storm struck. A large wave crashed upon them, and only the king survived, while his wife was swept out to sea. The only thing that remained of her was the necklace he had given her as a gift that day, and the king fell into despair.

Tamaki mourned for the loss of his love, having to raise his only daughter on his own. He watched her grow up, but as much as she resembled her mother, his mourning continued on, for he loved his wife quite a lot. And I mean a LOT… back in high school, he'd explode if another man laid a hand on her, really! He was practically obsessed with her! Fell so far head over heels in love, he made a crater deep enough to reach the center of the earth!

(ahem) But, one day, he realized that he would need a new wife, for he couldn't teach his daughter everything she needed to know… I mean, sooner or later, she would hit puberty, right? And if you know your biology, you'd know that girls grow up a lot differently than boys, and it would be pretty awkward for the king to tell his daughter about all the changes she had to go through in life and… well you get it. Kairi needed a new mother, we'll leave it at that.

It was difficult, for Tamaki's heart was still devoted to Haruhi (which was no surprise), but one day while on a walk in the town, he met an absolutely gorgeous woman, and immediately fell in love with her and took her back to his kingdom to become his queen… which seems a little rushed, in my opinion. He should at least take her to dinner first, right? Get to know her, make sure she's not some psycho… because a lot of relationships turn out like that nowadays.

This woman the king brought home was tall and sleek, with long black curly hair, wearing a black dress, her skin nearly pale. Her name was Bellatrix… and it was suspicious on why the king fell for her, according to the servants, but lets not get ahead of ourselves just yet. Tamaki spoiled his wife with gold and jewels and rare gifts… yet he gave Kairi the most of his love, and showed it to her every day.

One day, the king had decided to go visit his old friend, Kyouya Otori, who claimed to have urgent news to tell him. Before he left, he gave Kairi a gift- a key-blade, which had a rose engraved on it. He then went off in his limousine… but as fate would have it, he never came home. The driver had returned, claiming that there had been a wreck and the king didn't survive. Kairi was devastated, of course… especially since she had Bellatrix as a step-mom.

As the years passed, Kairi continued to grow as her parents raised her, with kindness and wisdom… while Bellatrix squandered her spoils and abused her authority over the kingdom. She forced Kairi to remain in the kingdom, dressed as a commoner just so she would appear more beautiful… which wouldn't work anyway. I mean, you could have the woman stand next to a pile of snot covered in cockroaches, and she still wouldn't look beautiful! She's so ugly, her face could crack water! So ugly, that when she was born, the doctor slapped her mother! SO DANG UGLY, that she scared the Grim Reaper to death!

Anywho, the kingdom fell into a deep despair, for not only were they forced to be ruled by the queen of blech!, but they had little money due to her spending, and their beloved king and queen were gone, and there was no hope for them to thrive again… and the weather got crappy too. Nothing but rain and snow, sometimes both at the same time!, and the sun never shined.

What they didn't know was that, trapped within the kingdom, hope still survived… and it could be found in Princess Kairi's heart… and this is the story of how she used it to bring compassion back to the land.

So, not much of an intro, and the character-choices probably weren't the best… but I'd like to hear your opinion. (but please don't flame)
