Disclaimer: I own only the patience to put up with the noise outside my window that hasn't stopped in at least fourteen hours. If they're so excited about the game, why the heck aren't they inside watching it?


The story was always the same. The beautiful princess was kidnapped by the evil wizard and rescued by the brave prince. Sure, sometimes the villain was a dragon with an empty stomach, and sometimes the prince was a knight, but otherwise it was always, always, the same.

The story never included the princess being taken away again after she had been saved. It was always the happily ever after that followed the epic battle and rescue, not swords screaming through suddenly empty air and striking the footprints that were all that remained.

This, he realized now, was not a story.


A/N: All reviews go towards helping Ichigo and Orihime get their happily ever after!
