Author:

Thank you for all the reviews and I noticed that I need some improvements. Well, Fairytale story time with Yuuki and Zero is like Yuuki and Zero are in a TV show. I also noticed that it looks kind of lame because the characters feel like they are not what they SHOULD be. So, I will now add the thoughts of the characters.

Thank you

Yuuki: And so, that's it! I hope everyone will enjoy the story ~ Zero! Say something!

Zero: -silence-

Yuuki: Uhh… okay! Fairytale story time with Yuuki and Zero, Start!

The princess and the pea

Characters:

Zero – Prince

Yuuki – Princess

Kaien Cross – Father of Zero

Asato Ichijo – Mother of Zero

Once upon a time, there lived a prince named Zero, who wished very much to marry a REAL princess. His search for a bride took him around the world and back again, which is a very long way indeed.

"This is so very tiring, why in the world should I go around the world for just a bride?" Prince Zero asked himself.

He met lots of girls who called themselves princesses: pretty ones, plain ones, vain ones, happy ones, sad ones, and mad ones. But there was always something not quite right. It was a problem. How was he to know if they were real princesses?

"I'd guess that Yuuki is one of those mad ones…" Zero thought

"Hey! I heard you!" Yuuki exclaimed.

"Eh? Why can you read my mind?" Zero asked.

"Just stop complaining and do what the narrator is saying!" Yuuki told Zero.

At last he gave up and went home, feeling very upset. "I'm not even feeling upset and actually I'm grateful" Zero said. There was no point in marrying a girl who was not a real princess. What was to be done?

Then, one wild and stormy night, a princess was being driven home from a party when her car went too fast round a corner, and she was thrown into a ditch.

"Pfft--- hahaha!" Zero laughed.

"Stop laughing Zero!" Yuuki exclaimed.

"Sorry, it was just too funny" Zero apologized.

The chauffeur did not see what had happened and drove on, leaving the princess all ALONE. "Well, this is just bad. Where will I go? The rain is pouring hard and my dress is already very wet" Princess Yuuki said. "No point staying here. I'd better try and find some shelter" Princess Yuuki started walking and finally came to a palace.

"There must be someone here who can help me" Princess Yuuki said to herself.

"I hope no one helps you…" Zero said.

"Shut up!" Yuuki pouted.

Princess Yuuki found the palace doorbell and pressed it. The palace butler hurriedly went to meet her. The butler found her with a very wet dress and she was filled with mud. The butler didn't hesitated and opened the gate for her and guided her to the palace kitchen.

While Princess Yuuki was taking her bath, the butler informed King Kaien and Queen Asato about her and ordered the butler to invite the mysterious person to dinner. Princess Yuuki was given a dress and her hair was fixed so that she will look presentable when she meets the King and Queen.

"Who could that mysterious lady be?" King Kaien said to himself.

"Hmm… maybe she's a princess?" Queen Asato said.

"Princess? There is no REAL princess in this world already mom" Prince Zero said.

"Then let us test if she really is a REAL princess, what do you think King Kaien?" Queen Asato suggested.

"That would be a great idea, darling" King Kaien agreed.

"I have given up on finding a real princess and I don't think that mysterious lady would be the one" Prince Zero said and went out of the dining room.

Princess Yuuki entered the room and greeted the King and Queen very politely. "Thank you for letting me stay in your palace, your highness" Yuuki said.

"What is your name?" Queen Asato asked.

"My name is Princess Yuuki from the Kuran clan" Princess Yuuki said.

"So you are a princess?" King Kaien asked.

"Yes, I am Princess Yuuki" Yuuki answered.

"There have been too many girls these days" The queen said, "Pretending to be princesses. There is only one way of knowing if you are really a REAL princess".

While the King and Queen were talking about the plan, Princess Yuuki toured the palace and found Prince Zero sitting in a couch and was reading a book. Princess Yuuki approached him and tried to ask him.

"What are you reading?" Princess Yuuki asked.

"Hm? Are you the mysterious person that was found by the butler?" Zero asked.

"Uhh, yes, I am Princess Yuuki Kuran, nice to meet you Prince…?" Yuuki said.

"I'm Prince Zero" Zero said, with a stern face, he went back on reading the book.

"Uhh… so you're Prince Zero? I heard that you are trying to find a REAL princess?" Yuuki asked.

"Yes, and unfortunately there is no REAL princess anymore in this world" Prince Zero answered her without even grasping air.

"Ohh… is that so?" Yuuki said to herself.

Prince Zero stood up and looked at Princess Yuuki and suddenly said, "If you're saying that you are a REAL princess, then prove it".

"How should I prove it to you Prince Zero?" Yuuki asked.

"Why are you asking me that? You should know what a REAL princess is" Prince Zero marched out of the room and left Princess Yuuki behind in deep thought.

Princess Yuuki walked to her room and was surprised to see a very tall bed with all the mattresses all piled up to one another. "Uhh… Queen, why are there too many mattresses? One is only fine with me" Yuuki said.

Queen Asato smiled, "This is how to prove that you are a princess" Queen Asato said. "If you are really a REAL princess, then you will know why there are many mattresses" Queen Asato smiled and bid good night to Princess Yuuki.

In the morning, the king and queen asked her how Princess Yuuki had slept. "I couldn't sleep at all, your majesty," said the princess, "The bed was so lumpy and bumpy that I am bruised black and blue all over" Princess Yuuki said.

The king and queen were delighted. There could be no doubt that this was a real princess, for only a real princess is tender enough to feel one tiny pea through so many mattresses. The prince was keen to marry her. The princess was happy to marry him too, for it is not easy to find a real prince these days. REAL princes are quite rare.

As for the pea… where do you think it went? Was it made into a soup? Or was put in a museum?

The End

Yuuki: And that's the end of our fairytale story for today!

Zero: You were lying were you?
Yuuki: What? Did I tell a lie?

Zero: You obviously DIDN'T feel that tiny pea with all those mattresses!

Yuuki: -gasp- Shhhh!!! Keep your mouth shut Zero!

Zero: How dare you tell yourself that you ARE a REAL princess?!

Yuuki: A-anyways! That's all for today folks! Bye!

Zero: You liar!!!!

Yuuki: Let's go back to the academy Zero!! –pulls Zero in the arm-
