It was bedtime and all of the chibis were ready for bed. The younger chibis looked cute in their animal pajamas. Trowa and Quatre wore their bunny jammies, Duo and Heero were in their cow pajamas, and Wufei was wearing his ducky jammies. Relena was in her lamby jammies and was fairly bouncing with excitement.
"Tonight we have a special bedtime story," said Tegan.
"An' it was wrote by ME," Relena said proudly. "An' Tegan says I can read it to ever'body tonight." She held up the paper with both hands and happily began to read her story to the group.
Once 'pon a time there lived a really beautiful princess named Relena. She was the beautifullest princess in ALL the kingdoms. An' she had the most prettiest pink princess dresses with jewels sewed ALL OVER 'em.
One day, her webmommie, Queen Melody, and her webdaddy, King John, 'cided that Princess Relena should find a prince to get married to. They called Sir Heero to the Throne Room so's they could talk t' him.
"Sir Heero," said Queen Melody, "we want you to a-comp'ny Princess Relena an' search ALL through the land to find a good prince for her to marry."
Sir Heero nodded. He was happy that he'd be goin' with her 'cause he was secretly in love with her, but he was sad because he was only a knight so he couldn't marry her.
"I don't WANNA find a prince," Princess Relena complained. "I wanna marry Sir Heero."
"But he is not a prince," said King John. "An' a princess hasta marry a prince."
"So deal with it," said Princess Tegan.
So Sir Heero took Princess Relena to the kingdoms that were their neighbors. Princess Relena was sad 'cause, alas, she couldn't marry Sir Heero, an' she didn't find any prince she liked better'n him.
One afternoon, a wicked, mean old dragon ran out a his cave an' breathed fire at Princess Relena. She screamed, an' then brave Sir Heero took out his sword and slewed that dragon real good til it laid dead in front of her feet. She was so happy that she kissed Sir Heero on his cheek an' said, "My hero!" Then a green flashin' light shined all 'round him an' suddenly, the witch's spell was broken an' he was turned into a han'some prince, with a prince's crown an' EV'RYTHING!
Prince Heero kneeled down on one of his knees an' kissed Princess Relena's hand. "Fair Princess," he said romantic'ly, "you freed me from the mean witch's spell with your kiss. I'll love you forever. Will you marry me?"
Prince Heero stood up 'gain. Princess Relena hugged him and said, "'Course I'll marry you! Then you'll be MY HEERO forever an' forevermore."
They had a big church weddin' with lotsa flowers an' bridesmaids an' the most be-you-ti-ful bride's dress with sparkling diamonds all over it. An' then Prince Heero took Princess Relena to live with him in his castle in the clouds. An' they lived happ'ly ever after.
"Well, how'd ya like it?" Relena asked.
"I hated it," said Heero.
Duo burst out laughing; he laughed so hard that he fell off the bed. Heero kicked him in the ribs with his hoof.
"Don't laugh," Trowa admonished Duo. "It was a good story."
"Relena worked hard to write it, too,"
"Well, I could write a better one 'n that," Heero declared matter-of-factly.
"I'd like to see you try," Relena challenged.
The next night, Heero read HIS story to everyone.
Once 'pon a time there was a brave 'n han'some knight whose name was Sir Heero. He was visitin' his good friends, King John and Queen Melody, so he stayed at their castle for awhile.
The King an' Queen had an 'nnoying daughter named Princess Relena. An' worse'n that, she was in love with him an' followed him everywhere he goed.
One day, when Sir Heero left the castle so's he could visit a 'nuther king, he looked back an' saw Princess Relena was followin' him 'gain.
"You're gonna be in big trouble if you gets caught," Sir Heero said to her. "You're not s'posed to leave the castle without premission."
"But I just wanna be with you," she said back.
While they were arguin' 'bout it, ten mighty an' very fierce dragons ran out of a cave an' were fire-breathin' EV'RYWHERE. Princess Relena screamed 'cause she was a girl, but Sir Heero wasn't afraid a no dragons! So he took out his TC7 beam saber with a real cool tooled leather handle an' slewed all of the dragons at the same time.
Princess Relena was so happy 'bout Sir Heero's noble deed that she kissed him on his cheek when he weren't lookin'. "Just like a girl," he thought, an' he wiped off the kiss real good with his hand. "What a pest!"
An' then suddenly, the COOLEST, shiniest green light shined all 'round Sir Heero. Then--poof!--he turned into an ugly old toad with warts ALL OVER IT.
"Thanks for breakin' the mean witch's spell," the toad croaked, "even if ya DID hafta kiss me t' do it."
Princess Relena screamed an' ran all the way home. The toad went to a pond an' lived happ'ly ever after on a lily pad. An' Princess Relena never followed him 'round ever 'gain.
"I didn't like that story AT ALL," sniffed Relena, and put her thumb in her mouth.
Tegan pulled Relena onto her lap. "Each of you wrote good stories, Relena," she said. "You both put a lot of thought into them and worked really hard to write them."
Relena took her thumb out of her mouth and looked up at Tegan. "But I liked MY story best," she said. "It was more Romantical than Heero's."
"It sure was," Tegan agreed.
