OK, I'm still getting new to this site, so sorry about any troubles. Anyway, I forgot to put in a disclaimer (as if it isn't obvious)—the characters, etc. of Angel and Buffy do not belong to me. They belong to Whedon, Greenwalt, and ME. On with the story…
Chapter Two—The TURTLE Prince?
"Alonna, it's your turn? What fairy tale are you going to tell the class?"
Alonna Gunn stood up and faced her classmates. "My story is 'The Turtle Prince."
The other students laughed. One of the boys in the back yelled out, "It's the FROG prince, silly!"
"That's what you think! My Aunt Cordy says that way, way back when, they told it wrong. The prince gets turned into a turtle! She told me!"
"Okay, Alonna. Let's hear what your aunt told you."
Alonna cleared her throat importantly. "Once upon a time, there was a handsome and strong prince named Charles. That's my Daddy's name too. Prince Charles and his sister lived in a very small castle in a very small kingdom, but they were happy and they cared about their subjects very much. So much that even the Princess would go out and fight the dragons and monsters that attacked their kingdom. One time, a mean monster beat the Princess up and turned her into a monster too. The Prince found his sister, but he knew that not even the greatest wizard in his kingdom could turn her back. He locked her up so that she couldn't ever hurt anyone, but he was very sad, because he would never see his sister again. He became so sad and so hurt that he never talked to anyone anymore and never let anyone care about him. He did that for so long, that he grew a shell 'round himself and finally turned into a turtle! All of his subjects were angry and sad that they had lost both their Princess and Prince, and began hurting all the monsters in the kingdom, even the nice ones that didn't want to hurt anyone."
"There aren't any nice monsters, Alonna!"
"Quiet! There are, too. The Turtle Prince left his kingdom and his subjects behind and he traveled far and wide, and it took him a long time. He finally found another kingdom to live in that he liked very much. The King there was very nice and so was the Queen. She told the Turtle Prince that she liked him, and if he wanted, she would pretend to be his sister, so that he wouldn't be lonely again. The Turtle Prince agreed, and little by little, he began to be nice and friendly to people again. Then, one day he met a nice girl in the kingdom. She kissed him, and he lost the shell completely and became wonderful Prince Charles again. The End!"
