Narrator: Echizen Ryoga
On the last chapter:
Sensing his goddaught- I mean godson is crying, the Holy Godmothe- I mean Godfather made a grand appearance before Ryoma….
Behind the stage
Oishi: Echizen-san, where is author-san?
Ryoma: Huh? Oh... her? I dunno *yawning while petting Karupin*
Ryoga: Oi… Oi... Chibisuke, if we can't find author-san we can't continue this drama!
Ryoma: So? *open a can of grape flavored Panta and drink it*
Eiji: Waah! Oishi! I… I just found a corpse in the tennis field nya….
Tennis members and Ryoga (except Ryoma,Tezuka, Inui and Fuji): NANI!
When they arrived at the crime scene (aka the court), a corpse with foaming mouth lied in the middle.
Ryoga: I-is that author-san?!
Tezuka: *drinks aspirins*
Momoshiro: Is that her?! Hey, what is that on her hand?
Ryoga: *takes the thick of papers from the corpse's hand* Hey, it's the manuscript!
Eiji: Alright! Let's do this for the sake of author-san!
Everyone: YOSH!
Author: Guys... help...

"Why does Ore-sama have to become the stupid fairy instead of the King? Anyway brat, I didn't know you can cry like a baby," said the Godmother- I mean Godfather in a sarcastic tone to his 'godson'. "Shut up, Monkey King! I would've preferred Buchou, or even Inui-sempai to become the 'Fairy Godfather' of this ridiculous fairy tale drama than you." Ryoma fired back to his own 'Godfather'. After the sarcastic remark, a words war between the two ensued.
Suddenly, a deathly aura surrounded the two. I looked at the source of the aura, and found our famous Tezuka Kunimitsu (death)glaring at the two. "Laps. Now." He commanded with a deadly tone.
After the duo experienced Tezuka Kunimitsu's deadly glare and the (endless) laps, they (finally) stopped the words war. "Don't worry brat, you will go to the ball. Kabaji!" "Usu!" suddenly, our dear Cinderella wannabe was dragged out of the scene by a giant. The Godfather sat on a relaxing chair and drank tea while the Cinderella wannabe kept on shouting loudly. "YAADA! LET GO OF ME!"
"Oii! I'm going to the vending machine in front of the studio! You guys want something?" someone suddenly shouted. "I want coffee then!" I shouted back. A few other guys also placed their orders.
"OII!" Ryoma continued shouting.
-oOo-
When Ryoma finally appeared (while cursing) with a pout, the 'Holy' Godfather and the audience went into a trance. For the readers out there, please use your imagination and picture it inside your mind...
Chibisuke had long white hair that was tied in a low ponytail with a black ribbon, a small silver tiara with onyx and sapphire jewels on it (where did they get the money to buy that thing?), and a black choker with a heart-shaped sapphire on his neck.
He wore a simple black gown with a dark blue ribbon tied in under his chest, and some black lace in end of the sleeves and gown (whose pocket money are they using?!). To complete the outfit, he also wore a pair of black heels.
As for his make up, he used a dark red lipstick plus lip gloss, a thin layer of silver eye shadow, and a thin trace of light pink blush.
I'm starting to wonder if he really has gone gay.
... Anyway, let's continue the drama. Monkey King?
"..."
Oi! Monkey King!
"Shut up! I heard you first time already! AND I'M NOT MONKEY KING! Anyways, you don't look bad, stupid brat. You should be amazed by my generousity! Anyways Kabaji, prepare the carriage for this brat." the Holy Monkey King ("Oi!") huffed. "Usu!" Kabaji answered.
And after that, Ryoma stepped into the carriage and ended up going to the ball (with a scowl on his face while cursing under his breath).
Meanwhile in the castle, the ball has already started. All the fine ladies, along with Ryoma's sisters had already started to introduce themselves to the Prince. "Lady Echizen Sakuno and Lady Echizen Tomoka!" Genichirou Sanada, the knight, announced. "My name is Echizen Tomoka your Highness… I have same name as my beloved Ryoma-sama! KYAAA!" Oi, oi, oi...
"My name is Echizen Sakuno your Highness… I hope you choose me as your bride!" the Echizen ladies said, before going into the crowd to search for their mother. Sanada kept calling the names of the ladies as he shot a pitying look at his friend Prince Seiichi, as said prince kept on twitching a lot (pun not intended!).
When Sanada was done shouting the names of the guests, the royal dance began. Seiichi avoided the Echizen ladies that was currently hunting for him, and instead danced with Lady Marui Bunta.
"Buchou- I mean Ouji-sama, please don't squeeze my hand so hard." Lady Bunta muttered nervously.
Next, Prince Seiichi danced with Lady Hanamura Aoi. Said lady continued chuckling in amusement, as she watched the seeing the guy called the 'Child of God' in the tennis field being nervous.
Next, he danced with Lady Fuji Syuusuke. "Saa… it's really interesting right, Yukimura-san?" Lady
Syuusuke said while continued chuckling in real amusement. " Well, how about you change positions with me Fuji-kun?" "Sorry, but I prefer seeing you suffer." Lady Syuusuke said. The prince kept on smiling (in scary way) and his left eye kept on twitching, pissed because of what Lady Syuusuke had just said.
After hours and hours of dancing (and avoiding ladies of the Echizen household), the prince went back to his throne, next to his father who was plain amused. Prince Seiichi noticed the look his 'father' was giving him, and he glared back at his 'father'. "Tezuka-san… I hope in the next drama, you're the one who will be suffering…" said the tired prince while glaring at the king. Unfortunately for him, the glare didn't affect the king at all.
As the prince kept glaring at his father, our main character at last arrived at the castle. With hi- her trademark cocky smirk, h- she entered the ball room. As h- she tried to avoid hi- her stepmother and sisters, h- she (why is it so hard to refer to Chibisuke as a she?!) attracted all the males (even the ones who are crossdressing), and even the prince and the king. Giving his a father a (sarcastic) goodbye, he then approached the 'woman' that had caught his eye.
"May I have this dance, my lady?" asked Prince Seiichi. "Che… like I have a choice." Ryoma answered, and accepted the offer. As the two danced (I didn't know Chibisuke can dance!), the other guests watched, either in awe or jealousy. 'Why can't I dance with the prince?' 'Why can't I dance with that beautiful lady?' were the thoughts in their minds.
But Sumire and her daughters were different. 'Where have I seen that girl before...?' were the thoughts in their minds. When Lady Sumire tried to get closer in order to identify the lady, a red and white figure suddenly appeared from out of nowhere, and almost made Lady Sumire die out of a heart attack. "Oi, oi! No one should get closer to the prince and the lady when they're dancing, nya! We should give them some privacy, nya!" Kikumaru Eiji, a soldier (who is suspected as a hybrid between a cat and a human) said.
As they rest of the guests danced, the prince dragged the lady into his private garden instead, the Rikkaidai Fuzoku Private Garden. As they were talking about something that we don't understand at all (presumably tennis-related?), a bell rang, telling us that the time is midnight. "That bell…." "Ahh... it's already midnight, huh?" "Nani?! Damn, I have to go back!"
"Why should you leave, 'fair' lady? If you shall leave, then please tell me your name." the prince answered. Ryoma, seeing that (s)he didn't have time, ran towards the front door without telling the prince hi- her name.
When (s)he was running towards the carriage, his left heel suddenly came loose. But (s)he had no time to pick it up, as he saw the prince running towards him. (s)he decided to ignore the loose heel dropped on the palace stairs, and left for the mansion. Fortunately, when (s)he arrived at the mansion, hi- her step mother and sisters have yet to arrive back home. (s)he then changed his tattered attire from earlier, cleaned the house, and went to sleep...
