A/N~
Oh
Holy
Moly
This is my tenth chapter! I've finally hit the double digits…too bad I couldn't have posted this earlier. I'm so so sorry for taking this long since I've never took longer than a week to update. I would have updated Friday or Saturday, but my stinking Internet stopped working! It's been out for four flippin days and being cut off from technology and especially fanfiction is no piece of cake. If I haven't reviewed your story when I promised I would (Lara D) or haven't been responding to your PM's, I'm sorry! It's not my fault.
I've been
slowly
Decaying inside
The need to read
Increasing and…
I know, enough with the drama. I'll get down to business.
Most people got the last one but it would have been pretty hard to understand if you hadn't read the original fairytale. It is in fact…
PUSS IN BOOTS!
And because I'm so nice, I'm going to give you a not so brief summary of what happened in the original fairytale if you didn't read it.
Once, long ago, a miller died. He left behind three things. A mill, a donkey and a cat (Puss in Boots,) the eldest got the mill, the middle one got the donkey and the youngest got the cat. The youngest was very sad for he did not know how he was going to survive as he was extremely poor and only had a cat.
But the cat told him not to worry, he had a plan, he was a verrry smart cat.
The youngest sewed some boots and a hat for the cat. Later, the cat went out( set the bait)and caught a rabbit. He then took the rabbit to the King and his daughter saying it was a present from his master, the Marquis of Carabas (fake).He keeps on bringing presents to the King, gaining his trust and friendship.
One day, he overheard the King saying that he was going to ride by the lake and he quickly went to his master and told him to bathe in the lake and hid his clothes behind a rock.
When the King's carriage came by he yelled, "Help,help,the Marquis of Carabas has been robbed!'
The King ordered his servants to get the youngest son some fine clothes and when he put them on he looked just like royalty.
Puss in Boots, meanwhile, went by a land that belonged to a ferocious ogre. He told the farmers to tell the King when he passed by that the land belonged to the Marquis of Carabas, or else he would have their skin boiled off. The farmers agreed and did just that.
Puss then went to the ogre's palace and said," I have heard you can transform into many things, is it true?"
The ogre who was very proud exclaimed," Of course", and turned into a lion to prove it.
The Cat decide to use his vanity against him and said," What about a mouse? Surely you cannot do that!"
The ogre was proud and to show off his skills he promptly turned into a mouse. Puss, immediately snatched the mouse and ate him, so was the end of the ogre.
When the King came by, he was told the palace belonged to the Marquis of Carabas, as it now truly did. He was very impressed and agreed to marry of his daughter to the youngest son.
All of this happened because Puss had a plan.
THE END
The hundredth reviewer was MyNameIsA! Congrats, you get to choose the character of the next poem and have it dedicated to you. Just PM me with three characters you'd like and I'll choose one of them. So it's a surprise for you as well. ;D
And the favorite word thing…
AAAAHHH , I can't help but choose Kathie, her review was so awesome! And so was her favorite word thing although I still don't know what her favorite word is.
My favorite word? Crapola, how the hayfever do I choose among all the awesometastical words in our ninjaness dictionary? Or my dictionary? Ummmm...
SUNS. All over the world, top-secret confidential red-coded missions are considered especially heinous. In Jacksonville city, the elite squad known as the Sparkly Unicorn Ninja Spies carry out these missions. These are there stories. *DUHN DUHN*
Anyone who caught the Law and Order: SVU reference gets virtual brownies.
*Virtual Brownies*
Yeah, that made me laugh. I love brownies!
Sooo, I know that I said that this chapter would be dedicated to you, but I've decided that the 12th chapter will be instead. You'll find out why, later on.
If you want to choose the character, give me five to seven characters you would like and I'll choose one of them!
PenguinLoverGurl: That's too bad, I would have liked to meet a real vampire (as if!)
You named your brain? Now I feel boring, I call my brain, Brain. Still, we are WONDERTASTICAL!
Kathie: Is there a best reviewer award? There should be, you'd win every time. I like that story too; finally somebody used their wits and brains to solve the problem…not violence, although there was a bit of that.
Emily: Thanks a lot. I was having a really bad day when I read that, your comment just made me feel worse. Really? You don't have anything to say about the poems and that was all you could think of? I doubt it. I dunno what that's supposed to be, but ya know what? I'll take it as a compliment.
Big Sister: That's okay, I know you were sick. Yes, I have watched it! Duh, I think your dad gave us the movie. I know you are.
Little Sister: Awwwwww.I love you too sweetie! Why couldn't you be my real sister, you're so cute! And you probably can't even read this so….ALINA read this for her!
Maliha: Thanks you. You actually listened to me. Go us 8D people!
ItsmeAGAIN: Oh brother, it's you again! JK! I did wear blue and yellow, so there! Well, I didn't talk to you for three minutes, that's something! Escusez moi? I didn't force you, you wanted to! You're such a pumbutt! :D
This poem is dedicated to Lara D
Shadow
Behind the sun's glory
There remains a bright star
That has never told its story
But always watches from afar.
…
As the sun thrives
It casts a silhouette
One that always strives
But can never be the best.
…
It is veiled
In a sinister shadow.
Already determined
The path is undeniably narrow.
…
It always has to be
As the younger respectful
It doesn't matter the ruckus
As royalty dutiful
It must lead its subjects.
…
The effort to aid and be gracious
Sometimes appears to go unseen.
It doesn't ever brag about its greatness
For it is forever stuck in-between.
….
But it will not make a commotion.
Nor will it let pride
Come before obligation
It remembers the mistake
Its father had made.
For its people and mother's sake
It will not do the same.
…
Because from a shadow
Can emerge light
When a tree seems hollow
An animal can escape and take flight.
…
When night turns into day
Newborn hope will stay.
When creatures awaken from sleep.
They don't remember that life can be steep.
…
And from the ruins of a shadow.
That has often been overlooked
Rises one as jovial as a sparrow.
So anxious to guide those that were hooked
In ways of error
Gone be those days
Of unhappiness and terror.
…
So ascends the makings
of a new civilization.
A partnership of brotherhood.
The hopes of the future.
...
A/N~ This might be easy or difficult, depending on how you look at it.
Just like when two people look at a painting and one sees one thing and the other sees something else. This poem is just one of a hundred ways to interpret the character, but this just struck me all of a sudden and I chose to focus on mostly one particular side. And if anything's a bit exaggerated…too bad, this is fanfiction, I'm allowed to do that!
Anyways, somebody *cough*ANannyMouse*cough* convinced me that I was being too hard on all the readers. And I guess I have been.
After all, not many people really want to review. I usually don't.
Just like nobody wants to read a book and then do a book report on it.
I doubt that many people go find a book and say, "Wow, this book is so awesome, I can't wait to read and write an essay about it! What fun!"
If you do think like that, well…I'll wonder about you.
Sometimes, writing about it can spoil all the fun. Sometimes you only want to read.
But writing a review isn't like writing an essay. It can be fun, help you meet other people and actually read and write like a community.
I know you're all thinking," I didn't come here to get a lecture!"
But giving lectures is part of who I am and you'll probably be getting a whole lot of them. Although…you could probably just skip over it.
Fudge. I forgot this isn't real life and I can't force you to listen to me like I usually would.
Whatever. I'll get down to writing the next chapter since I took so long on this one or I could finish my one-shot which I've been putting off forever…..That's right, I can write stories too! I'm just too lazy. Plus I'm a really slow typer But if you're reading this, and it says Author of two stories on top, then I have accomplished my goal!
Review …..Please.
(No, it's not a hoax, I just said please!)
Tutti Frutti for now my little veggies!
(Don't look at me, ask Cat!)
:D
