A Modern Day Fairy Tale

This is a story where, once upon a time like all the great fairy tale love stories go, a prince found a princess, and after defeating the evil, fire-breathing dragon and retrieving the treasure, they lived happily ever after. That's how it really happened, with just a few tweaks to the story.

One fine, sunny day, as all fairy tales begin, this young, strapping prince was walking through a parking lot beside a college office building accompanied by his noble German Shepherd when he bumped into a princess - a young, sexy, and beautiful one. This beautiful young princess - let's call her Catherine - seemed harried and worried, her hair in disarray, and her eyes red-rimmed from crying. Of course, the young, strapping prince - let's call him Alex - immediately asked what was wrong. In a huff, Catherine turned on her heel and marched away, leaving Alex and his dog, Steed, both bemused and amused.

Shaking his head, Alex made his way through the parking lot and went on to find the nectar of the gods so he can quench his thirst. Walking back through the parking lot to get back to his castle, The Dorm, and holding the precious nectar of the gods in his hand, a Grande cup of Caramel Macchiato from Starbucks, Alex overheard a distant roar from a nearby cave (which we shall call the college building). Taking out his sword (more like a pen), he ran into the college building, leaving Steed outside to guard against other hostile forms.

Alex ran towards the sound, and there, at the very heart of the college building, she saw Catherine, slowly being overpowered by the secretary, also known as The Dragon. Alex rushed to Catherine's side and almost cowed underneath the secretary's evil glare when she turned on him. Alex summoned all his courage and asked what the problem was. Through a cloud of fire - let's call it bored indifference, and perhaps, a little bit of gleeful malice - he was able to learn that the beautiful Catherine was having trouble with her enrollment for the semester due to a problem with the administration.

Through a combination of skill, daring, and Catherine throwing him a shield (her papers, which were proof that she had the right to enroll), Alex was able to fend off the secretary and retrieve the treasure: the enrollment form for the following semester. Then the pair exited the building; their faithful companion, Steed, guarding their rear in case of revenge from the secretary that dwell within.

Once clear of the cave and sitting right outside Alex's dorm, they sat down. Alex offered Catherine a sip of his Caramel Macchiato, and flushed from their victory against all the odds, leaned in and gave the princess a kiss. Let's call it a "lucky, happy accident" where Alex was leaning in to give Catherine a friendly kiss on the cheek when Catherine suddenly turned towards Alex. And well, you know the rest.

Alex turned a bright shade of red and started to explain himself, stammering as he did, but Catherine - beautiful, sexy Catherine - waved it off and said the most beautiful words: "Let's have dinner tonight."

So we did - again and again and again. And we lived happily ever after.
