6S ~ fairy tale.

Once upon a time, there was a fairy tale that didn’t have a happy ending. The prince was late to the ball, the princess picked a fight; he really did love her stepsister, who was kind and pretty and didn’t know they had ever had a fling before the princess left for school. They broke up amicably enough, but the pumpkin carriage wasn’t waiting, so she walked home by herself and spent her Friday night watching a movie with some girlfriends; read a book. The birds didn’t always chirp on key, the flowers in her garden sometimes wilted, her parents grounded her once; the dwarves got tired of always having to do the dishes and being called out for their character flaws and short stature and having to sleep in one too-small bed, so they moved out and get together for lunch every once in a while. The perfect shoes just didn’t come in her size; she didn’t buy them, even though they were on sale. And this tale was the fairest and most beautiful in all the land.
