"Hey daddy can you read me and brother a bed time story?" asked a little girl holding a book up to her father's face. The blond haired girl looked to her father with pleading eyes putting the pink book on his lap.

"No read this one!" shouted her older brother. The older brother with pink hair glared at his young sister making her flinch. "That's a girly book. This one is wayyy better." Shoving his blue book onto his fathers lap, knocking down the pink one.

This motion made the little girl cry. The older brother just started to pout feeling pity for her. They both looked at each other and instantly started to argue.

The man sighed and picked up both books reading the title of each one. The pink book was 'The little mermaid.' While the blue book was 'Dragon Killer vol. 2.' The father's eyes became wide. Is this what kids read now a day's? as he thought to himself.

"Well…" the man spoke up startling both brother and sister.

"How about I tell you both a story." the man said telling both his kids. They both looked at each other and smiled. Nodding their head's enthusiastically they sat at the feet of there father.

The man cleared his throat and begun to speak. "This is the story of the Princess and the Dragon"

Once a upon a time, in a faraway place lived a kingdom called Heartfilla. The Heartfilla's was a noble family, they always cared and listened to their subjects. In return the subjects remained loyal to the caring family. But out of all the Heartfilla's the kindest was their Queen Layla Heartfilla. Everyone adored the Queen she was kind, caring, and very beautiful. But sadly the Queen had passed away 8 years after giving birth to a baby girl called Lucy. The kingdom was devastated after the loss of their queen. Especially princess Lucy and her father the king Jude Heartfilla. After the death Jude had become very strict and protective of his daughter. Never letting her leave the castle.

But one day all of that changed. On her 19th Birthday Jude had decided it was time that Lucy was to be wedded. He had arraigned a marriage between another prince from another kingdom. When he told Lucy the news, she was less than happy.

"But father why must I marry him?" asked Lucy looking deeply into her father's eyes pleading if there was another way.

"Because Lucy this could be the greatest thing that could ever happen to the Heartfilla's! With both families united the kingdom could prosper… Understand now?" Explained the king.

Lucy slowly nodded to her father. Fighting back the tear's that were forming in her eyes. She gave a low curtsy to show respect to her father, apologizing for her outburst. Jude had dismissed her with a wave of his hand. Guard's had appeared to escort the princess out. Lucy started to slowly walk towards her room with her head held low. Two guard's opened the double door's to her room bowing low as she walked in. Giving a small curtsy to dismiss them they closed the door's leaving the princess alone in privacy.

Lucy could barely hold her tears back anymore. Running towards her bed and burying her face into the pillow as she sobbed. What had felt like minutes to the poor girl, hours had passed making the sunset drip down as darkness over took. Leading its roll into the night, the moon appeared. Lucy lifted her head from her wet pillow and moved towards the window sill. She starred at the large round moon. It cast a shinning glow, highlighting the princess's face. A small smile started to form on the princess's face, but it was short lived when she diverted her attention to her dresser.

The princess climbed off her bed and walked towards the mahogany dresser. She slowly outstretched a hand grabbing a picture off the top of the dresser. More tears threatened to form as she saw the picture. Inside the picture frame was a picture of her and the queen hugging each other with smiling faces. You would've said differently about this marriage mother… The princess thought to herself.

The princess stroked the picture with her hand. This made her think of her loyal subjects. She thought on their well being. The kingdom would prosper if I did marry the prince… This could be a good thing. The princess thought to herself positively and sighed. But problem is I don't want an arranged marriage…I want to marry someone out of Love not by command. Lucy thinking negatively.

Lucy knew she couldn't let her subjects down. Soon her father would have to step down from his throne and pass it to a new heir. But Lucy hated all the responsibilities of being a princess. Always being well mannered. Obeying everything she had to do it made her want to scream at the top of her lungs.

"Mom you use to tell me all these happy fairy tale ending's. But one question where's mine?" Lucy starred at the picture more intently as a memory started to form in the back of her head. The queen would always read to Lucy every night before she slept but her favorite was about a certain prince that never really did have a happy ending either.

Flash Back:

"You see Lucy one certain prince never had a happy ending…" explained the queen to her daughter. As she tucked he into bed telling her another bed time story.

"But why mommy? What happened to this prince?" said a small little Lucy.

"Well this prince was somewhat very childish. He always thought he could do whatever he pleased. But he loved his subjects more than anything in the world. Problem for the young prince was he never knew how to show his love."

"But if he didn't know how to show it then how did he ever get married? Or fall in love?" Lucy questioned dumbfounded.

The queen laughed. "Well little one the prince never did fall in love. But instead his whole life was flipped upside down." The queen said as she sat at the edge of her daughter's bed.

"How mommy?"

"Well one day a old woman appeared in front of the prince's doorstep. She was sick and was cold from the outside. The noble prince escorted her into his kingdom with open arms. Taking care of her making she regained her energy. But the prince was fooled the old lady was in fact a witch! The witch laid a curse on the young prince…"

This made Lucy shiver she climbed out of her covers and crawled to the edge of her bed where her mother was seeking comfort. The queen wrapped her arms around the little girl to make her feel safe and calm her down.

"What happened to the prince mommy?" Lucy asked looked up into her mothers eye hopping for a happy ending.

"Well when the prince awoke he was a big scaly dragon. He had no way of turning back into a human. With the prince as a dragon he could not speak human words he could only roar. Everyone in the kingdom was upset and scarred of the dragon. They all thought that he had eaten the prince!"

"No! But that's the prince mommy what did they do?"

"His own loyal subjects drove the young prince out of his own kingdom."

Lucy started to cry for the dragon. The queen stroked her daughter's hair soothing her. "Now why are you crying little one?"

"Cause that poor prince. That stupid witch turned him into that scary dragon and all his friends took him out of his house. But what happened after that mommy, how did they break the curse?"

"Well Lucy no one knows what happened after that. They say that the dragon lives in cave in complete darkness. Forever staying there hiding himself from people. And waiting for someone to finally break the curse. But if you ask me…" The queen was now whispering quietly into the young ones ear. "I think true love breaks the curse." the queen had confessed to her daughter.

Little Lucy clenched her fist and put on determined face. "Well mommy I will marry that prince and un-break the spell and when that happens well both live happily ever after!"

The queen laughed and kissed her daughter's forehead, tucking her in once again for the night. The queen switched off the lights almost leaving the room. Quietly telling her daughter. "And you will have a happily ever after Lucy… I promise."
