Also I'll probably go and fix all the mistakes in my other stories. Yes and this time I'm doing Rupunzle. The next that I'm going to is King Midas, but Charmedwriter_3 I'll need you to fill me in on the entire story, just to refresh my memory. Also let me know about the fisherman and his wife(sounds interesting) I didn't catch your email in your review! Which was wicked awesome I might add thanks! Oh and Im evil there's a note for you in one of my fics either Les Mis or the latter part of Experiment chibi so take some time and look it over. Anyhoo on to the list it'll go Rupunzle, King Midas, Rumplestilkskin, Three Bears, Sleeping beauty, Mulan(fairy tale version) um then I might put in the fisherman and his wife(not too clear on that yet...) then maybe Cinderella depending on how I feel. This order may change but should be pretty solid! Oh and someone think of a good Halloween fairytale so I can put a spooky one up then! Also I will not do Wizard of Oz! For some odd reason I have a strong dislike for that show....

Seto: Is that all? Or did you want to bore the readers further......?

Mamono: You're crabby today! Fine don't own nothin' but the story so yeah......review!

Fairy Tales in Waltz

as told by Tea Gardener

Sheets of rain blew across the city streets of Domino. A fierce storm was cast upon the busy city, leaving the streets empty of all life. Sapphire eyes stared sulkily at the gloomy weather. Short strokes of chocolate brown hair brushed across the shoulders of Tea Gardener. She sighed as she turned from the window. It was going to be a long day. Tea had just gotten a new job at the local hospital. She was supposed to take care of the younger patients and keep them entertained as well. She took a sip from her French vanilla cappuccino, letting it's sweet silky flavor settle in her senses. Then she tossed the cup into the trash and went back to her work. She looked down at a piece of paper with a room number and the name of a child staying at the hospital. She stopped at the door with the matching number and skimmed through the chart as she quietly opened the door.

"Broken leg, that doesn't sound pleasant." Tea said sympathetically.

She looked up to see a small boy sitting in the stark white hospital bed. His wild raven hair and steely blue eyes were instantly recognized by the chocolate haired girl. Tea was shocked to see Mokuba Kaiba grinning back at her. Tea smiled sadly and walked over to the cheerful boy. She quietly sat down on the bed next to him.

"Mokuba, what happened to you?" Tea asked.

Mokuba turned slightly red as he answered.

"It was 5 o' clock last night and I got really bored so I tried skateboarding through the mansion..." he trailed.

"Oh? What happened?" Tea asked unaware of the obviousness of the answer.

"I lost control and fell down the stairs...I think I nearly gave Seto a heart attack." Mokuba said looking over to the corner of the room.

Tea turned to where the boy was looking and sure enough there lay Seto Kaiba collapsed on a chair in the corner. His soaking wet trench coat was hanging on the wall. Tea sighed. That Kaiba sure did care about his brother.

"He was up all night. He wanted to make sure I was okay. Seto even went out in the storm early this morning to bring some of my things from home for me while I'm in the hospital." Mokuba said with a hint of guilt in his voice.

Tea smiled. So this was the caring Seto Kaiba that only Mokuba new. She studied the figure asleep on the chair. She had never actually seen Kaiba asleep before.

"So Tea, what are you doing here?" Mokuba questioned.

Tea shot back to reality and turned to Mokuba, her chocolate hair swishing across her face. She grinned sheepishly and held out her clipboard for the boy to see.

"I'm helping at the hospital as a part time job." Tea stated.

"Wow! That's cool! So what do you do?" Mokuba grinned.

A big grin came across Tea's face. She went and took a seat next to Mokuba's bed.

"I'm here to keep you entertained! So how about a story?" she mused.

"Okay!"

***********

Rupunzle! Let Down Your Hair Already!

Once upon a time...

*~*~*

"Tea isn't that a little cliche?"

"I'm telling the story Mokuba!"

"Okay..."

*~*~*

Ahem! Once upon an uncliche time, in a far away land lived an old woman and her daughter. Now the old woman didn't look so old but she acted like she was 50! Yes she had long black hair and blue eyes. Her name was Ishizu. She lived with her daughter in a lone house in the woods. Her daughter was a beauty without comparison. Her long blonde hair fell to the ground below. She had a fox like appearance and always carried a brush with her. The name of this beautiful daughter was Rupunzle...

As Rupunzle grew to become even more beautiful, (like that's possible...) she became fascinated with the world around her. She would read books about the outside world and longed to see it. Her mother though, would hear nothing of the sort.

"Rupunzle you cannot go out to the cruel world my dear! You will get hurt by all the evils out there." her mother cried.

"But Mother! I want to go see all the wonderful men in the world!" Mai pleaded.

"Men? What do you mean? I thought you wanted to see the outside world?"

"Uh, yeah......outside world."

The girl continued to ask her mother to leave the house but every time she was let down. After awhile her mother would hear nothing of the outside world, so she took away all of Rupunzle's books and forced her to sit in her room everyday.

"Wow this is boring...I wish a guy would come around..." Mai grumbled.

It just so happens that a prince was walking through the very forest that the girl and her mother lived in. This prince had messy blonde hair and certainly didn't act very prince like...

As he wandered through the forest he spotted a house in a clearing. He stopped as he saw the most beautiful thing he had ever seen in his life. It's golden top, that nice shape....he was in heaven.

"I gotta get me some of dat!" he shouted as he ran to the windowsill where Rupunzle was standing.

Prince Joey, gazed up at Rupunzle with love in his eyes. Rupunzle had started to turn a deep shade of red.

"Hey......can I have some a dat pie?" he asked drool hanging from his mouth.

Rupunzle was taken aback by this remark.

'He wants the pie?' she shouted in her mind.

For what Rupunzle was holding was a freshly baked apple pie. She raised it up to Joey and chucked the apple missile into his face. Chunks of apple and pie crust flew everywhere as the pie dripped off of the prince's face and down to the ground below...

~*~*~

A faint chuckle was heard from the corner of the room.

"Eh?" Tea said.

"What's the hold up Tea?"

"Oh right, sorry Mokuba..."

~*~*~*

Well after the prince had cleaned himself up and explained to the girl that he had been lost in the woods and hadn't eaten in 3 days, she forgave him and invited the prince inside.

"So how does a prince get lost?" Mai asked.

"Ahh...I don't know..." replied the prince.

After awhile the discussion changed to the outside world. Prince Joey told the girl about the wonders of the world around her. He was somewhat saddened by the fact that she had never seen it. So he promised to bring the girl books and pictures of the castle he lived in.

As time went by the prince would stop by more frequently. He would bring many treasures from his castle. The girl was so captivated by the things she saw that she asked the prince to take her with him. The prince agreed and he was to come for her the very next day.

"I'll come for you tomorrow night and we will see the world together Rupunzle!" the prince cried.

"Call me Mai, it's such a more classy name and my mother won't know that I'm going." replied the girl.

What the two didn't know was that the girl's mother had learned about their plans and was plotting against them at that very moment...

"Rupunzle, we have to move now! I won't let you leave my side!" Ishizu yelled.

"But Mother! Why?" cried Mai.

"I won't let you be hurt by those mean outsiders!"

"Mother your a monster!"

So Rupunzle's mother moved Rupunzle and herself into an old tower in the woods. When they arrived Rupunzle' mother locked her daughter away in the highest tower. She ignored the cries from her daughter as she left. Rupunzle collapsed onto a musty wooden chair and wept. For now she would never see the beauty of the outside world. So she continued to cry as she drifted into sleep.

She was awoken by a faint crying of her name...

"Repun- er I mean Mai! You up dere?" the voice whispered.

So Mai walked up to tiny window and peered down to the forest below. She smiled when she saw the prince's figure smiling up at her. He waved before suddenly going into an immense trail of thought. He raised his hand to his chin in thinking fashion.

"Hmmm.....no how did dat go?" he mumbled.

After what seemed like forever of the prince's thinking he jumped up with an idea.

"Rupunzle, Mai Repunzle let down your hair!" he shouted.

Mai gave the prince and exasperated glare.

'How original...' she thought to herself.

"No." Mai snapped.

"What!?" shouted the prince.

"I said no!"

"But!"

"No!!!"

"Why in da heck not!?!?!"

She smirked at the prince and lifted her hair up. She pulled it behind her back defensively.

"You've got to be joking! I won't let you climb up my hair! You'll ruin it!" she snapped.

After a while of arguing the prince proceeded to climb like a spider up the tower. When he reached the top he gasped and fell through the window.

"You know, I think I got da wrong Rupunzle.." Joey panted.

Mai only giggled at the half dead prince and sat on the empty windowsill.

"Now like you promised. Take me away to your castle!" she giggled.

"You gotta be kidin'! I just got up here!" the prince argued.

"Oh come on! Don't be a loser!"

After even more arguing the prince somehow carried the girl down from the tower. No one knows how this was done. Though people say in the end the prince was very sore...

After years of traveling, the prince and the girl returned to the prince's castle and got married. Rupunzle cut her hair because every time she'd walk in the city she'd fall over because someone or something would step on it. It became so dirty and rude that, much to her dismay, she cut it. Rupunzle's mother lived a happy life as well. Free from her annoyingly flirtatious daughter she was able to move to a beach house in some tropical land.

So it seemed they all lived happily ever after....

***************

Tea smiled as she finished her story. She looked over to Mokuba, the boy had long since fallen asleep. Tea sighed exasperatedly.

"Some entertainer I am. Instead of making him laugh and shout, I made him fall asleep." she grumbled.

A low chuckle was heard from behind her. She turned to see Seto Kaiba looking down at her with his icy blue eyes.

"Oh? How long have you been awake?" she questioned.

"Long enough to hear that so-called story..." he mused.

"Hey? What does that mean? Didn't you think it was good?" she snapped.

"Don't quit your day job." he smirked.

Tea let this remark settle in, before replying. A sly grin painted across her face.

"But Kaiba, this is my day job." she said teasingly.

"My point exactly..." he said with a grin to match Tea's.

With that he grabbed his trench coat from the hanger and draped it across his shoulder. He flashed the dumbfounded Tea one last smirk before briskly walking from the room, leaving Tea to ponder their latest encounter. The rain continued to patter on the window sill as Tea sat there. Her eyes focused to the falling rain as it reflected in her sapphire eyes.

"I'd pay to see someone who actually understands that guy..."
