EPILOUGE

"OMG OMG OMG OMG!" Hannah and Cathy squealed.

Gaspard smiled into my hair, holding me by the waist from behind. Hannah and Cathy kept chanting and squealing, "OMG HE'S SOOO CUTE!"

It had been a week since the curse was broken. I finally convinced Gaspard to come out of the manor. He's been shut in for so long that he couldn't believe it was safe to go out again.

"And he's got an accent!" Cathy screamed, "SO HOT!"

I laughed at their antics. Gaspard was meeting them as... him for the first time. He already met Silvia. And soon enough he would meet my dad. That would be … something.

"Okay, guys, he's still the same guy you met before..." I told them.

"Yeah...but... he's like you're prince charming. You battled a fairy together and he almost died saving your life. So romantic," Hannah sighed dreamily.

I blushed and smiled to myself. He was my prince charming.

"I love you," Gaspard whispered into my ear. I blushed even more.

Things were perfect.

"Hello? I'm home."

Hannah and Cathy ran down the stairs to greet dad. Gaspard and I were laying on my bed. Gaspard suddenly looked worried when he heard my dad was here. I laughed at his face and got up off the bed. "Come on, you've faced an eternity of evil and a fairy and a seemingly unbreakable curse. And you can't handle my dad?"

Gaspard blanched, "I've never met my girlfriend's father before..."

I giggled, "Girlfriend..."

He laughed at me and stood up. He stuffed his hands in his pockets and sighed, "Shall we?"

I grabbed him hand, "We shall."

"Dad? I'd like you to meet Gaspard... my boyfriend."

Dad was silent and gaping. I had never dated before or shown interest in it. So needless to say that this was shocked. "How long was I gone?"

I blushed and laughed under my breath, "He's … he just moved here from France. Into the house at the top of the hill. He inherited it from family. He lives here with his Aunt Emile. We met shortly after you left for your trip... in the library."

"Of course," Dad grinned. He shook his head to himself and said, "Well... nice to meet you boy." He put his hand out to Gaspard. He looked at it like it was an alien. I slightly shoved him and he shook my dads hand. They started amiable conversation and I smiled.

Aunt Silvia gasped, "Oh, I almost forgot!"

I gave her a look, "What do you mean?"

She took a stack of papers out of her bag, "I finsished translating those papers. Found out how to break the curse too. So romantic."

Gaspard leaned over my shoulder, "Well what was it?"

Aunt Silvia smiled, "Love, dearie, true love."

I smiled up at Gaspard and he smiled softly down at me as he brushed his lips against mine.

True love.

Sappy but I had to do it. Everything worked out in the end of course. And of course true love broke the curse. True Love conquers all after all. Let me know what you thought. This is the first thing close to an original story that I've posted.
