Chapter 2.

Wang Yao was a charming young girl. Her father was a "magician". She knew that he had a special kind of ability but most people in the village just thought he was crazy. Yao rolled her dark brown eyes and played with her pony-tail. The book she was reading by the fountain was the classic fairytale of "Rapunzel". She loved this book so much; the bookstore keeper let her keep it! She giggled at her book when Alfred quickly sat next to her.

"Why hello there Yao," he greeted. "What're you doing?" he asked her.

Yao rolled her eyes again, "It's called reading Alfred aru, you should try it sometime…" she suggested.

Alfred snatched the book out of her hands and flipped through the pages, "What's this?" he pointed at a picture of Rapunzel letting down her hair, "Why is her hair so long? Does she have a disease or something?" he rolled his eyes and tossed the book into a small puddle by the fountain. "Oh well, you don't need that crap!" he giggle obnoxiously.

Yao gasped and quickly picked up the book, desperate to save the pages. "Aiyaah! Have some respect Alfred aru! You can't just throw books around! They're precious!" she yelled at him.

Alfred looked at her like she was crazy, "Whatever, but hey I was wondering if you would like to go out with the Hero!" he winked at the girl and flashed her a smile.

Yao glared at him, "After what you did to my book, heck no aru!" he stood up and clutched the book to her chest. She turned sharply but Alfred grabbed her by the shoulder.

"Uhh, ha ha! I must have misunderstood you, did you say no?" he asked.

Yao winced under his grasp and twisted away from him. "Yes, I said no Alfred aru." She turned again and walked away, "And don't you dare think of following me!" She yelled back. Alfred glared at her from the fountain; a man with shoulder-length blonde hair put his arm around Alfred's shoulder.

"Ahh, Monsieur, you don't need her! You have me oui?" he smiled at Alfred. Alfred pushed him away, "Get off of me Francis, Yao will be mine, whether she likes it, or not."

Yao sighed angrily and hung her book on a cloth-drying wire. "Me? Go out with Him?" she sneered in disgust. "He's an inconsiderate fool that is too full of himself for his own good aru!" she wrung her hands together and looked around. "Huh, I wonder where Daddy is. Has he been gone all day aru?" she wondered. She walked out the door and bumped into a large brown horse; Yao screamed and fell onto her butt. "Aiyaah! You scared the holy hell out of me!" she exclaimed and looked at the horse. "Huh? Where's daddy?" the horse looked at her pleadingly.

"Something's wrong with Daddy!" she exclaimed and hopped on top of the horse. "Go Brownie Go!" The horse rode off into the direction of the prince's castle.

Kitty: I'm sorry I had to make Alfred the bad guy, but I had this pretty cool vision as him as Gaston (however you spell that). He's like the pimp of the village, he's "awesome" and handsome and attracts all the pretty girls –ehem- and guys I guess! XD
