ACTION/ADVENTURE/ROMANCE

Chapter One

"Mother, I don't want to get married!" Dan complained to his mother Joanna. She came down from her throne and stared at him quizzically as he ate.

"Why not? Paula is sweet." Joanna pestered him.

"But she is boring. She is more boring than the princess of that other BORING country!" Dan daintily shoved a scoop of food into his mouth and ate it. He then smiled across the table at his mother. "You know what I would really love?" He asked his mother sarcastically.

"I already know." She got up and left the table.

"Bert likes Paula!" He shouted after her.

"But Bert is not inheriting all of Fairytale Land!" Joanna replied.

"No, but he does get Oz because of his mother. That is a kingdom!"

Joanna looked at him sadly. "You are my only child, I had such high hopes for you!"

"Don't worry! One day I will get married, and I will love her...There will be no question about that!" Dan reassured her.

"Just give Paula a chance. And if you hate her that much and if she really gets on well with Bert, well fine then!"

Dan smiled, knowing that at least one relationship would work out!

"Let's have a ball!" He decided. "Invite everyone!"

Joanna only nodded and sat down once again, pondering what to do about her very strange son.

Dan headed to the archery range later that day with his friend Bill. "Why is it that all we are expected to do is wage war and get married?" He asked Bill.

"Well, you are also expected to live "happily ever after" at some point." Bill pointed out to him, as he pulled back his bow and arrow and almost got a bulls eye.

"Well, my mother will see to it that I become BORING and have no "happily ever after"!" Dan announced, hitting the bulls eye.

"Only if you let her my friend, only if you let her!" Bill told him.

Dan eyed him and then nodded in agreement. Don't let her! He thought.

The night of the ball came quickly, and every eligable lady in the land was there, Joanna had seen to that! Dan danced with every one of them, finding most of them boring. The princess of the "Land of Sand" however, had a great story to tell him. Her name was Jasmin, and we all know her story as "Aladdin". Everyone listened as she told them of the flying carpets in the Middle East. But her eyes looked so sad when she spoke of how Aladdin was a commoner and they could never marry. And Dan felt so sad too, he wanted her to have her "happily ever after".

His mother knew then that until Dan got some sort of adventure, he would never be completely happy, he would never marry! What if she planned everything? What if she planned for him to find the woman of his dreams and finally get his happily ever after?

The queen auditioned dozens of young ladies from her ladies in waiting to simply sit in a tower until her son could "rescue" them. Finding the dragon wasn't hard at all, but finding the right romantic intrest, that was hard! And Dan, Dan was away with Bert planning some sort of trip that only the boys went on every year.

"Next!" She frowned at the skinny, blonde, pail, plain girl that was leaving. The next girl to come in was ever so...breath-taking! She had reddish-brown hair, greenish blue eyes, and in the queen's eyes, she was perfect for her son! "What is your name?" Joanna asked her.

"Sarah your majesty." The girl curtsied and smiled with confidence at the queen.

"Sarah, its so good to meet you." The queen smiled back at her. "I think your perfect for the job." She ordered her servant to send all the others home, and then she rang for some tea from the cook.

"So, do you know what you just got yourself into?" The queen asked her.

"At this point, I dont care!" Sarah replied. "I am tired of not being married. I am twenty and the only one of my friends who isn't married!" She put a load of jam on her scone as she complained, then realized what she had done in front of the queen. "Sorry your majesty." She looked down almost sadly and then took a bite of her scone.

"Its okay dear. I wish my son was this way about marriage." Joanna looked almost sad as she spoke about Dan.

"Men are totally different than we are. They want different things." Sarah told her.

"Well, I think my son just wants some sort of adventure, and I think sticking you in a tower and having him come and rescue you, now that is the kind of adventure he needs. And then he will be smitten."

Sarah smiled. "I have always liked him." She sipped her tea, then spoke again. "And I think we will be a good match."

The queen nodded and smiled. "Well, I agree!" She put milk and sugar in her tea and drank it. "And soon enough, he will be there to rescue you!"

"What if you got some sort of adventure?" Bill asked Dan, as they headed to the tavern. "I mean, what if you could rescue someone from a dragon or something and what if she loved you?"

"Well, then I guess I would be happy." Dan replied. "Its finally the "happily ever after" that I have always wanted."

Bill nodded happily. "I think you will be going on some sort of quest soon Dan, I can feel it in my bones!"

"Well, I hope so." They entered the tavern, dressed normally, only to find a group of men gossipping in the corner. They decided to sit close to them to hear better.

"I heard that there is a woman who is more beautiful than any other in all the land up in a tower nearby." One whispered. "Any who rescue her she will automatically fall in love with."

"Is she guarded by a dragon?" One asked.

"Yep." Another replied.

"Its impossible then." They continued talking.

Finally, Dan turned around and asked them where this place was. One man drew him a map on a paper and Dan gladly took it. His adventure was beginning...Or was it?
