Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Saori, but people often called her Little Red Riding Hood because of the scarlet hood she usually wore. It was said that she wore the vibrant hood because she admired the fiery hair colour of her Granny Camus, who lived alone in the forest. She even attempted to paint her nails red in order to look like Granny's nails, but her papa Shion was appalled at the colour, and so she stopped. (In the background, she thought she heard 'Camus, you're a bad influence on Athena; I demand that you dye your hair green like mine for goddess' sake', but it was probably all her imagination, so she paid it no mind.)

One day, her papa told her:

- Little Red Riding Hood, bring this basket of bread and wine to your ill Granny deep in the forest. Do not stray away from the path, for there is a Big Bad Wolf lurking there, and it will eat you.

Little Red Riding Hood obeyed, and took the basket into the forest. She was singing happily on the way, for the thought of seeing Granny made her glad for the task, when a beautiful creature came out from the bushes to stop her on her way. It had a golden mane that shone as the sun, eyes so blue that the sky was put to shame, and a smile so sweet it melted the heart. It was the reputed wolf dwelling within the forest.

- Ah, Little Red Riding Hood. Why are you here in the forest walking alone?

But of course, Little Red Riding Hood had never seen the Big Bad Wolf before. She was dazzled by its beauty and therefore answered honestly:

- Papa Shion told me to bring this bread and wine to Granny Camus, who lives deep in the forest and who is ill. And who are you?

-I'm Milo the Wolf. But stay; you must have heard bad things about me, but really, I'm not bad. Come, don't be afraid; to prove to you I'm not bad, how about I show you where the meadow with the most beautiful flowers is? Granny will surely appreciate such a gift from his loving granddaughter.

Having in mind the dark intention to come and eat Granny first, and then Little Red Riding Hood when she arrived, Milo the Big Bad Wolf pointed Little Red Riding Hood to the meadow, where thousands upon thousands of flowers were in full bloom. The innocent girl, fooled by the wolf's appearance and deceitful words, happily nodded and went to pick flowers for her beloved Granny. (Again, in the background, 'Milo, I don't like flowers, damn it') The Big Bad Wolf grinned, showing his sharp teeth, before he made his way to Granny's house.

It was late afternoon when Little Red Riding Hood remembered that she was probably late for her delivery, packed up and started running towards Granny's house. When she was nearing the little cottage in the forest, she noticed strange noises coming out from the house. It sounded something like '… I swear, Camus, just, not again, ooh, ouch… Help!...' etc. etc. Fearing that something bad was happening, Little Red Riding Hood ran faster towards the house, but when she approached the door, things strangely became quiet again. ('Camus, Milo, if you dare taint the eyes of Athena, I will personally Stardust Revolution you into your next life!') She pushed the door and walked in.

Upon the bed, Granny was busying buttoning his shirt back up, an apologetic expression on his face.

- Apologies, Athena, I mean Little Red Riding Hood, I ate without waiting for you.

- You… ate?

Little Red Riding Hood was confused. In a corner, curled up in a tight sulking ball, was Milo the Big Bad Wolf. The wolf glanced at Little Red Riding Hood with teary puppy wolf eyes, a begging expression on his face, but a foot from under the blanket had suddenly appeared to give the wolf a kick on the side, making it yelp in alarm.

- Tell Athe… Little Red Riding Hood the truth, hm?

- Okay alright. You didn't have to kick me so hard. The truth is… by Granny instead. – The wolf's voice became smaller and smaller.

- I do not hear you. Speak louder, Milo.

Words were muttered in Greek, which earned the wolf a harder kick on the side.

- Okay! Fine! The Big Bad Wolf who came to eat Granny was eaten by Granny instead. There! Satisfied?!

- Oh. – Was all Little Red Riding Hood could say. She did not understand very much, but suddenly she felt pity for the wolf who had his tongue stuck on the ice. But since no one was hurt, all was well.

And they lived happily ever after.
