The Fairy and the Prince

"Chad! Chad!" yelled Jane as she tried to catch up with the Prince. They had been friends then. When she was that young. She remembers they were inseparable. "Chad! Wait for me! CHAD!" Jane remembers that she slipped and fell after the last bellow. She had scrapped her knee and was starting to get scared. So she cried, like any normal five year old would really. That's when he pulled back the willow leaves from their hideout. The special place where only him and her could be together. She saw his perfectly curled hair (The perfect-ness normally came from her) and he gorgeously sparkling light brown eyes. He seemed perfect and for most of Jane's life, she believed he was.

"Are you okay?" asked Chad as he ran over to her, checking to see what was wrong.

"Nooooo~~" whined Jane as another wave of tears washed over her. Chad just sighed and pulled her close into a hug with a gentle pat on her head.

"For a fairy you are a lot of work," he said with a snicker. He always snickers at her for some reason. She never knew why but maybe it was because he found her… entertaining she guesses.

"I don't want to be a fairy," sniffled Jane with a pout, as she slowly forgot about the pain with every pat from him.

"Then what do you want to be?" he asked, as he stopped the patting and hugging, getting distracted. He was pulling Jane up and trying to get her through the Willow Branches so they could start playing before she could talk. He never listens to her talk. He seems to always ignore her right when she tries to tell her feelings.

"I want to be a Princess," said Jane with a smile as she was placed in front of a stump that they had made into a make-shift table. They use to have tea-parties in the Enchanted Forest, Jane remembered, or pretend feasts with pretend food or balls where Jane had to dance with a tree and Chad always danced with whatever friend decided to come along with them to the forest. Normally it was just the two of them or a girl Chad knew. Jane's only friend was Chad so she never brought anyone with her.

"You can't be a princess," whined Chad. "Because I'll be the prince!"

"So? Princesses can marry princes too you know!" whimpered Jane as she started to cry all over again. She always wanted to be a princess, but Chad never allowed it and whatever Chad said went.

"No! You have to be the fairy!" said Chad crossly.

"I'm always the fairy and you're always the prince and every other girl is the princess! Why can't I be the princess?" bawled Jane. But instead of patting her head and hugging her which was his usual way to calm her down, he pushed her instead.

"I don't ever want to play with you again!" yells Chad as he runs through the Enchanted Forest, away from Jane, and once again she was all alone.

Jane jolted awake from the dream. She always ended up alone. That's how all their play dates ended, with her in the forest alone. She had a fear of being alone because of that. She always hated being alone, that's why her mother made Chad put up with her. Cinderella had... a debt to say the least, and saw it as a win win for her son to play with a "peasant" as well. This gave him the experience on how to handle "common folk" as well as socialize with kids his own age.

Which is probably why he still talked to her now. But now, she knew her place. Though she might always want to be more to him then just "the fairy", she couldn't change her status, her looks, her personality, or anything really. She was forever going to be this simple "plain Jane" to him. He was one of the popular kids and got to hang out with Princes and Princesses, basically people who were biologically beautiful through lineage. And she was just on the outside looking in. She was always on the outside looking in.

"Hurry up Jane!" yells her mom in that sickeningly sweet voice she normally used for particularly difficult children at her school aka Jane. This made Jane start to focus on something other than Chad… well for a second at least.

"I'm coming Mother! Don't worry!" says Jane as she quickly whips into a light blue outfit for the day as if by magic. Of course it wasn't, since there is no magic anymore, but she was good if she did say so herself! She did one last look and gave a sigh. If she allowed herself to nitpick everything that was wrong with her, like her hair, her freckles, her eyes, her teeth, her size, her body shape, etc. Etc. She would be here all day. So she allowed herself a glance, just to see if her bow was in place and rushed down the stairs.

"Are you ready for today?" asks her mother, a little too cheery, something big must be happening.

"Ready as I'll ever be," says Jane without any energy as she takes a bite out of her apple and quickly went out of to the car. Today was just going to be an ordinary day.

Or is it? Dun Dun DAAAA~! So I have kind of been Shipping Jane and Chad for the longest time and I have been having all these stories about them and I finally had a major story in play for them XD I always thought, well… they come from the same story and they would probably have grown up together. I hope you all like this O.o It's my first time after two years without writing so I might be a little bit rusty ;^;
