Once Upon a Time
by Lilock


Duo: Why is it that we're here again?

Lilock: Shove it, Duo. You just walked in as I started this.

Duo: Who's idea was it to help?

Lilock: Quatre's.

Quatre: ........hm.

Lilock: Just shut up and listen to the story. I haven't even started it, baka.

The princess stood as the dancers dance across the ballroom floor.

Wufei: Is that the best you can do, Woman?

Duo: Shut up Wu-chan. Don't piss her off.

Lilock: Fine. I'll start over.

The day had turned into night and the ball had begun. Her brother was looking for a bride. She wasn't interested in his matters, but she was part of the royal family so she had to attend. The ballroom was brightly lit, and elegantly decorated. She hated balls. They were so formal and fancy. "Lita, dear. I don't understand why you hate these events. You were born into this world and raised. You are the only one who wishes not to partake in any of the royal events." The queen said. Lita looked to the ground.

"I just don't. There's nothing here that interests me." Lita said. Her mother smiled and turned to walk away. "I'm sure that one day you will find these balls interesting. Try to look like you're having fun. Maybe dance once tonight." Her mother said as she walked away. Lita nodded and watched the dancers dance across the floor.

Wufei: So now you put that in? It's not even the same way. I could do better in my sleep.

Lilock: ~glares at the idiot that thinks he's so smart~ The others back away from Wufei.

Meanwhile in some far off land, a little chinese boy stands alone. He feels he has no care in the world. Then he is tackled by a person will medium length blonde hair. He soon discovers that this girl is.......

Wufei: ~sweatdrops~Alright. I'm sorry. Just finish the story. I won't critize your writing anymore, Lilock.

Lilock: Thank you Wufei. That goes for the rest of you. Don't make me angry or I'll write an insert about you. Got me? The other four pilots sweatdrop and quickly nod in agreement.

Quatre: I think it's really going good, Lilock.

Lilock: Thanks Quatre.

Lita continued to watch the dancers. That was one she hated about balls. She would always stumble on her partner. She hated to dance. A stray hair fell into her face. Lita turned her attention away from the dancers to brush is back into place. When she looked back, a young man stood in front of her. His long, brown hair was.....

Trowa: And who is this guy?

Duo: I hope it isn't me. Lita just isn't my kind of girl.

Heero: Shut up, baka. You're not even interested in girls.

Kai: ~walks in and glares at Heero~ I'll remember that later. Heero: ~sweatdrops~ But you aren't a girl.

Kai: ~glares daggers at Heero~ Then what exactly am I?

Heero: ~gulps~ You're, you're...

Duo: A young woman that isn't a like any typical girls we know and that's why we all love you.

Kai: You're just saying that because you want to save Heero.

Duo: Yeah, but I mean it. You're very special.

Lilock: Kai. Out. I can't work with you distracting Duo. It's bad enough that Trowa and Quatre are in the corner enjoying themselves. I don't need anyone else doing so.

Kai: Alright. See you guys later. ~leaves~

Lilock: Don't worry. None of you guys are going to be in my story if you do what I tell you to.

The five pilots nod.

His long, brown hair was tied back at his shoulders. His blue eyes....

Duo: It's Heero.

Heero: I thought you said none of us were going to be in your story.

Lilock: It's not Heero, Duo. And the next one who interrupts me will have an insert. So shove it.

His blue eyes shined brightly. He took her hand and placed a kiss on it.

"May I have the pleasure of dancing with you, Princess?" The young man asked. Lita blushed and nodded. The man pulled her out onto the dance floor and immedately started to waltz. Lita was amazed at the man ability to glide around the floor while dogding her feet.

"You're a wonderful dancer, Princess." The young man said. "Well, if you say so." Lita said timidly. The man smiled and glanced around.

"Would it be too rude to ask to speak to you somewhere, less crowded?" The young man asked.

"No." Lita answered. The two stopped and walked away from the ballroom. They stood on the balcony. They lended against the railling and watched the moon float above the ocean in the night sky.

Quatre: That sounds so romantic. Don't you think so, Trowa?

Trowa: ........

"May I ask your name, Princess?" The young man asked.

Duo: Wait! Why didn't you yell at them for interrupting?

Lilock: Because I like Quatre and now it's you're turn!

Wufei: ~laughing~ Now you've done it Maxwell.

Lilock grumbles under her breath and cracks her fingers.

Meanwhile in a sucluded area, another princess was getting a really good show. A young american boy and chinese boy were fighting over her. The little blonde haired girl laughed.

Wufei & Duo: We'll be good.

Lilock: Better be. Or next time I won't stop.

"My name is Lita. What's your name?" Lita asked. The young man looked out at the ocean and sighed.

"You don't want to know my name, Lita." The young man said. Lita pulled her redish-brown hair down.

"Why not? Is there something about your name I would find odd?" Lita asked. The man nodded.

"I just don't think you want to know who I am." The man said. "Then what am I to call you then?" Lita asked. The young man stopped to think. He hadn't thought about that. He looked up at the sky. "Call me Artemis." The young man said.

Heero: You've been watching too much Sailor Moon again haven't you?

Lilock: So what?

Heero: What next? Are we going to find out that the guy looks like her old boyfriend?

Lilock: What makes you say that?

Duo: Heero, you've been watching Sailor Moon again?

Heero: No. What makes you say that?

Trowa: What are you talking about Heero? You were watching it with Quatre the other day.

Quatre: Yeah, and you kept on talking about how weird it was. You also kept commenting about....

Heero: That's enough Quatre. Alright. So I watch Sailor Moon on occasions. What are you going to do about?

Meanwhile in the moon kingdom, Prince Darien and Heero are having a face off. Both wanted the same thing: the hand of the lovely....

Heero: I'll be good. No more comments on character names.

Lilock: Thank you.

"Artemis, huh? Well, I have a question." Lita said.

"What would that be?" Artemis asked.

"Do you believe in love at first sight?" Lita asked. Artemis looked at her in astonishment.

"Yeah." Artemis answered.

"Me too." Lita said. She looked out at the ocean. Artemis sighed and looked out at the water. He was almost certain that she was going to say something else, but she didn't. "Do you know when you've fallen in love?"

"Yeah, all to well." Artemis said. He knew where this conversation was heading. He didn't really want to go that far, but he didn't want to be rude. Suddenly the clock started to strike twelve. Artemis turned to Lita and kissed her hand. "I'm sorry Lita. I must leave."

"Why now? Are you going to turn into a servant or something? Like Cinderella." Lita said. Artemis laughed.

"I wouldn't leave if that was going to happen. No, I have to be somewhere tommorrow. Perhaps we'll meet again." Artemis said. He turned to walk away, but Lita grabbed his arm.

"When can we meet again?" Lita asked. Artemis looked into Lita's eyes. He brushed a stray hair from her face.

"I'm not sure. But I must say good night for now." Artemis said. Then he pressed his lips against hers. That moment she felt that there was something about Artemis she had never felt in any guy before.

"Good night, Artemis." Lita said as Artemis left the palace. Lita lend against a wall. Artemis was hansome, but there was something about him that was different and she wouldn't stop thinking about it until she knew what it was.

Artemis reached the guest room in the palace later that he thought he would. He wanted to meet Lita in person, but he didn't expect to fall in love with her. Now it was going to be akward going with his mother in the morning to talk to the king.

"Why did it have to be her? I'm so stupid. I should have listened my mind and not my heart." Artemis said. Now he would have to Lita his secret. He sighed and dressed for bed. Hopefully she won't reconize him tommorrow.

Lilock: This part is done.

Wufei: Huh? That's it.

Duo: What's Artemis' secret?

Heero: It better not be that he's really her cat.

Lilock: Shut up, Heero. It was just a concidence that I choose Artemis. Artemis is also the name of the Greek Goddess of the Moon. So there.

Trowa: When do you plan on finishing it?

Lilock: I don't know. Probably later on in the day. It is 4 a.m.

Duo: Could someone please tell me why we're up at 4 in the morning.

Trowa: Quatre heard something and woke us up.

Quatre: Sorry guys.

Lilock: I'm done for tonight, so you guys can go back to sleep.

Duo: Come on, Heero. Night, Lilock.

Heero: I don't think I can go back to sleep.

Duo: Who said anything about sleeping.

Heero and Duo leave. Trowa picks up a sleeping Quatre and takes him to bed. Wufei grumbly stumbles off to his room and Lilock turns off her computer.
