A/N: Well, I just kind of said, "fuck it" to myself, and deciding to start posting these drabbles again, especially as they're all written, and most of them have been betaed by this point. And this prompt...ah, it's almost fortuitous to start again with this one. Because this is truly one of my most favorite of all the MaL drabbles I've written. And I'll explain why at the end.

Warnings: Um...subversion of gender roles?

Dedication: To R-girl, who reminded me that oh yeah, I have this story hanging around that I haven't updated in forever. XD Also, Ghostwriter and Lauren, you both have my eternal love. :)

Disclaimer: See chapter 1.


Mangoes and Limes

Prompt 21: Princess


Xion knew that you weren't supposed to have a favorite uncle, because that wasn't fair, and she liked her Uncle Terra a whole bunch. But she couldn't help but prefer Uncle Ven.

Uncle Ven didn't hate her dad like Uncle Terra, and he was silly and funny, and he always gave them quarters to ride on the chocobo carousel in front of the grocery store. He was good at playing tea party, and one year for Halloween he dressed up with Xion and Naminé as princesses.

Uncle Terra was the cool uncle, but she loved her Uncle Ven the best.


End A/N: ...Yeah. With Ven...I have this...thing with him that I like to do when I play his storyline in BBS. See, I absolutely love giving him the Pixie Petal keyblade to use for a significant amount of time, so that I can prance and run around with him, saying to myself that he's a "pretty pretty princess" (this stems from mine and Ghostwriter's belief that he actually functions as the Kairi in the BBS trio). So...when the prompt was "princess", well...I had to make this be about Ven, somehow. Because he's my pretty pretty princess. XP (Also, please note that I have a specific lilt and way in saying that phrase, as well. XD) (Also, fuck anyone who says that Pixie Petal isn't a good keyblade. It boosts your critical hits like crazy; things that are girly and stubby aren't necessarily bad things, people! :P)
