Prologue
"Once upon a time in a magical…." The male narrator began.
"Hold up a sec dad," the girl daughter narrator interrupted. "This ain't some ordinary fairy tale. This is real life." She argued for she was right, this was not a fairy tale. "No, this is a modern day 2015. This is a time where life was tough, easy, unfair, and fair. Where life throws unexpected ideas and twist." She began to explain our new story.
"No the real world was way harder than a fairy tale. Princesses weren't in distress, waiting for their princes to come save them. Nor were there princes coming to save every maiden. Dragons weren't being slain – there weren't even such things as dragons. No one lived in cottages – well some do but that's not the point. There weren't fairies or dwarfs, or mermaids. Not everyone gets their happily ever after." She expressed getting deeper into the thought of fairy tales and real life.
"The real world was filled with thugs and murderers but also police, firemen, and your average day Joe." She giggled at the common mundane phrase. "People who tried their best to live out their days without relying on any magic, but they tried more on themselves and faith. Still things weren't always the best for our modern day people. Times could be tough, waiting for your next pay check, food, gas, medicine, and love.
"I'm not saying that fairy tale people didn't have these troubles too, but in some way the real world was worse. Even though we are two different realities we share some sort of similar bonding. We all look for our happily ever afters, our shot at love and happiness. Love and happiness cannot just be given or taken for ones self. They find their own way to squeeze into our everyday lives. They show through memories, friends, family, and adventures we have and do." She felt the passion of these lives and wonders rolling off her the tip off her tongue as she continues to explain.
"So there's no need for a fairy godmother or prince charming to save the day, to find your happily ever after. You have to find that yourself. You choose how you live your life instead of following a story. For god sakes your life isn't written in stone! We can't always get what we want but we try our best every day to receive it.
"We all know the tales of how a prince saves the princess and they live happily ever after. How they triumphed over evil. Well today we got a new story for you. This story is about a spitfire attitude kind of girl and an asshat but secretly sweet kind of guy.
"Now to start the story!" she grew a huge smile across her face. "Now in this fairy tale….." she grew a disturbing look on her face as she said those words. "It's not a fairy tale as I said before, but then what shall we call it? Hmm…? I got it! We'll call it a fairy twist! Yes that's lovely." Her voice boomed with gladness.
She cleared her throat as she began to tell the story. "Once in the year 2015 lived a girl with red, wavy locks of hair with mesmerizing emerald green eyes. There also lived an arrogant boy with golden locks of hair and molten gold eyes to match his golden appearance. This is a story of how the real world allowed a little bit of Magic to flow into it and allow these two to find their happily ever after. It all began on a Friday the 13th in a diner called Taki's…"
