For my friend Syo! Merry Christmas!

Okay, once upon a time, there was a girl see, and she was the most beautiful girl all though the land! Well, all of Veramond at least. Her name was Syo. But nobody could see though her dirty rags and unwashed hair. She lived on the rich side of town, though she wasn't a servant. She lived with her evil mother, Boberetta and her 2 daughters, Bobila and Bobette. Everyone said that they were even sourer than 100 lemons.

Well one day Syo was washing the floor of the main hallway alone. Since they didn't have any other servants. They didn't need any others. Syo was so good and fast. It only took her half an hour to wash the floor. Now since her mother got mad at her if the floor was slippery and she was too lazy to buy a 'Caution' sign. So Syo had to wipe the floors dry. It took her half the time since she didn't have to press as much. Just as she was finishing the floor the doorbell rung.

It was Syo's good friend Louise the UPS gal. Well she was delivering a package with a note on top of it. Syo's mother was really lazy and only sat in her bed watching Yu-gi-oh ALL day. Expect on Monday. Then she went to the Gym and worked out all day so she could burn off all the fat she worked up over the week. Syo's Sisters, well we don't really know what happens to them since the author's too lazy to think of something. J/K! they sat looking out the window all say looking for hot rich guys. But they never saw one EXPECT, for Hatori. The richest, nicest, hottest guy in all the land. Now what nobody knew was that he only walked by to see if he could see Syo. He secretly thought Syo was the most beautiful girl he'd ever seen. But if he ever was looking at her when he was with his friends, they'd make rude remarks about her hair and clothes making her run inside crying.

Poor Syo only had once had a guy who liked her and she didn't even remember his name. What she didn't know was that it was Hatori. Hatori had always thought she looked familiar but he just couldn't figure where he had seen her. Today he was hoping more than ever to see Syo since he wasn't with his friends. He glanced at her and seemed to motion her to come over. She said goodbye to Louise and walked over to Hatori. "Yes sir Sohma? What would you want to do with this servant." She asked bowing in respect.

"I know you're not a servant. This family has not had a servant in this house for 10 years." He said lifting her face. "Do you know the young girl who lived here when Sir Shelling (XP funny last name! off the top of me head XD) was still alive, other than the 2 other witches?"

Sir Shelling was Syo's father. He died from Cancer when she was 7 years old. "That would be me sir." Syo said almost as if she was ashamed.

"What is your name?" He asked.

"Syo Shirahime Shelling, Sir." (on Word Shirahime comes up as Hiroshima! XD) She said looking down again.

"Please, call me Hatori. And I invite you to my ball this weekend." (its Monday.) He said.

"Oh but sir, I don't have anything to wear!" Syo cried, not trying to sound rude.

"Well then, do you have a moment? I would be honored to buy you a dress." Hatori said looking at her in the eye.

"Oh but Si- Hatori! I couldn't." Syo said blushing.

"My treat." He said smiling at her. (wow, he smiles! XD)

Syo sighed, "I will go." She smiled back at him.

Hatori picked out a light sun yellow dress with crème lace on the end. (pretty! XD) He also picked out a set of matching ribbons. The dress was actually pretty cheap, only $13.97 and the ribbons were only $2.99.

Syo was very good at hiding things such as packages. She almost got to her room when her sisters stopped her.

"So, what were you doing this Sir Sohma?" Bobila demanded.

"Yea!" Bobette chirped.

"He asked me to help him find a pendant he had lost." Syo lied.

"So why'd you come back with that package you're hiding in your coat." Bobila asked. Usually she was too stupid to find things like that but she found it so easily. She pulled out the package.

"NO!" Syo yelled as Bobila ripped the package.

Bobette gasped at the dress, "Why does she get such a fancy dress!" Bobette, being the actress, started crying.

"Shut up!" Bobila yelled. "how'd you get this then? And more importantly, Why do you need it?" She asked waving it in front of Syo.

"It is none of your business." Syo said bitterly.

"EVERYTHING, Is my business. I guess I could just tell Mother that you forced Sir Sohma to buy this for you." Bobila said grinning evily.

"Fine, Hat- Sir Sohma, invited me to his ball this weekend. And when I told him I didn't have anything to wear, he bought this for me." Syo said near crying.

"I'm going to take this to Mother and tell her that you stole this from me. And that you there was a letter saying that everyone in this house was invited to the ball. And then for stealing my dress, you won't get to go. Poor wittle Syo." Bobila said laughing.

"NO! You can't do that!" Syo nearly yelled.

"Oh you want to bet?" Bobila asked sourly. "I'm going to write that letter. Just wait until Mother gets home. Keep the dress. For now. Bobette, come on."

Bobette followed her and handed her the dress and stuck her tongue out at Syo.

Syo finished walking to her room and fell on her bed. She wanted to cry but she knew she was too strong for that. She laid there for what seemed forever.

Then suddenly, "SYO SHIRAHIME SHELLING!" It was her mother. Syo walked to her mother.

It was exactly as Bobila said it was going to be. Syo was not able to go to the Ball and she had her dress taken away and given "back" to Bobila. Syo sat in her room for the week. Eating near nothing.

When the night of the ball came, Syo was left alone. Hatori was greeting his guests when he saw Bobila in Syo's dress. He ran to her but stopped when he saw it was Bobila.

"Where's Syo?" Hatori asked sounding just a tad bit worried.

"Ew! Why would you even want to know her? She's just a little servant girl!" Bobila asked in total disgust.

"Because I bought her that dress and I was hoping She'd wear it. Not her sister." Hatori said meanly.

"She's at home working." Boberetta said.

"Go get her, or get out." Hatori had known all along that Syo was the girl from his past.

"But why?" Bobette said near crying, AGAIN.

"Because I Love her." Hatori said firmly.

"YOU WHAT?" Bobila asked.

"I love her, now go get her." Hatori said.

Near an hour later they came back, with Syo. Hatori looked at her for a few seconds before walking over to her.

"You look 2 times prettier than you were when you always wore that pink flower petal dress." Hatori said smiling at her.

"How did you know that?" Syo asked, "About the dress?"

"That was me 10 years ago." Hatori said.

And then we all know the big smoochy scene, well this author doesn't feel the need to go into all the gooey details. So we all know the end, they lived happily ever after.

The End

Or is it?
