56 (The Little Whirlwind)

[Video/Action for those in Olivine!

Minnie is sitting on the front porch of her home/inn, with Walt the Charizard sleepily resting his head on her lap. She strokes his 'horns' as the Pokegear turns on.]

Hello, everyone. I hope you're all having a good day. I was just talking with a new friend, and she made me want to do 'that' again... By which I mean, share fairy tales! My home has so many fairy tales, and I love telling them to others. So if you'd like to hear one, just say so, and I'll spin a story with you!

Oooh, why do these stories always have an evil party pooper?

It wouldn't be much of a story without one!

It was another fairy... only this fairy was evil! She was Maleficent, a wicked fairy who only used her powers for darkness. She claimed she was insulted that she wasn't invited to the party, and had her own gift for the baby princess. When the princess turned sixteen, she would prick her finger on a spinning needle, and die! She then laughed, mercilessly enjoying her cruel gift. The good fairies couldn't remove the gift... but the third one could still give her own. When the princess turned sixteen, she would still prick her finer on a spinning needle, but instead of dying, she would fall into a deep sleep, as would the entire kingdom. Only the kiss of true love would break the spell of sleep.

Why not just make it so she pricks her finger and ends up with awesome magic skills?

There's only so much magic a fairy can do. The good fairies weren't powerful enough to force Maleficent to remove it or change it any further.

To be extra safe, the good fairies took Aurora with them into the forest to raise her. The King, meanwhile, ordered all the spinning needles to be destroyed. Years passed, and Maleficent was angry that the princess couldn't be found. The princess grew up not knowing about her royal family, and became beautiful and kind, always playing in the forest with her animal friends. The day before her sixteenth birthday, a wandering prince - the very same she was engaged to as a baby! - found her, and they fell in love. When she returned home to tell the fairies her good news, they revealed she was a princess

[This is either gonna end well, or end really badly. Rikku nods, urging Minnie on]

Aurora was very sad, because that meant she could no longer see her beloved prince. They told her she was already engaged to someone else, not realizing the two princes were one and the same. Yet Aurora loved her fairies so much that she went along with them back to the kingdom. She went to her room, and cried over the loss of her love. But as she cried, Maleficent used her magic to sneak into the castle, having found her and followed her back to the kingdom. She managed to save one spinning needle from the King's destruction, and placed it in Aurora's room.

Aurora had never seen one before, and she was so overwhelmed by curiosity...

[She facepalms]

[can't quite blame you.]

She touched the needle, and the fairies' gift rang true. She fell into a deep sleep, and so did the entire kingdom. The fairies knew that only true love's kiss would break the spell, so they left the castle to find the prince she had fallen for. While they were gone, Maleficent took over the castle, covering it with dark vines and thorns. As far as she was concerned, the kingdom would sleep forever! She would never let the prince kiss the princess!

All this because she wasn't invited to a party? Yikes.

There are some people who will use any excuse to be cruel.

The fairies found the prince, who was searching for his lost love. They told him what happened, and he followed them to the castle. Maleficent sent her minions after him, but with the fairies magic, he defeated them, and cut through the vines and thorns. His pure heart strengthened the magic of the fairies! Maleficent became so enraged, she turned herself into a fierce dragon, almost destroying the castle in her wrath. "Now you shall deal with me, O Prince," she cackled, "and all the powers of Hell!"

[She even tries to imitate an evil laugh. it's... very squeaky.]

[She can't help it. Rikku giggles a little]

The prince and the good fairies fought valiantly. His shield was destroyed, there was fire all around him, but he never gave up. Finally, he cast a fatal blow to the dragon with his sword, thanks to the good fairies magic. It struck Maleficent's heart, and she was defeated. All signs of her evil magic vanished, and the prince went to Aurora's room, finding her asleep. He gave her the kiss of true love, and she awoke with a smile, seeing her love. It turned out that the man she was engaged to and the prince she loved were one and the same! They were married, and lived happily ever after.

[Rikku grins and claps happily]

Yay! That's a good story.

I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

And... I'll have you know it was 100% true.

Wait, really?

Maleficent attacked my castle a long time ago.

Yikes. And I thought it was just a story.

Any story can be true, this place has proven that. it turns out I'm in stories in other worlds!

No way!

Yes way! Apparently my husband and our friends are featured in books, cartoons, movies, and even a theme park! Isn't that amazing?

That is cool! I wonder if I'm known in other worlds.

Anything's possible!
