Why would a book fall from the sky?
Once upon a time, in a little town, a girl named Jasibella was born. Oh, wait a minute, if I start at this point the story will take forever to get to the juicy stuff. So, once upon a time there was a girl named Jasibella, she had a mother and a father, and no evil sisters at this point.
Jasibella had always been loved by her parents, but what she really, really wanted was to find Prince Charming. She had dreamed about the day Prince Charming would come and rescue her from her boring life, and ride with her on a white horse. She wanted her happily ever after, and she would trade anything and everything for it.
On the day that this story begins Jasibella was walking on a forest, trying to see if she would find some “distress” that would make Prince Charming finally come to find her and save her.
“Everything is wrong” Jasibella said out loud, kicking a rock that was on her way.
She was quite right. Everything was indeed wrong for a fairy tale: the forest wasn’t exactly a forest, it was more like a park, the grass was shinny green, the trees weren’t enough to block the sun light, and her dress was purple, not white as she read maidens had. Besides, there weren’t any wild animals around, unless that oddly colored butterfly was wild, but she doubted it.
Tired of walking around wishing for something that wasn’t going to happen, Jasibella decided to sit down under a tree. As she did so she heard a movement on the tree above her. It wasn’t a little noise like a squirrel or a little bird would make. It was more like something falling, breaking all the branches it landed on.
Soon Jasibella saw leaves falling all around her, then a couple of small broken branches, and then, finally, something really hard and heavy hit her head.
“Why did that thing have to fall right on my head?!” She shouted as she stood up, one hand stroking her head fast, trying to make the pain go away. “A book? Why would a book fall from the sky?”
Jasibella picked the heavy book up and turned it around. Why, indeed, would a book fall from the sky? Well, where else would it fall from? Jasibella ran her fingers through the hard leather cover and over the golden letters carved on it.
“How to live happily ever after in ten steps?!” Jasibella cried with a grin. It was exactly what she had asked for.
She only wished it worked… Wanting to have her happily ever after that exact same moment, she opened the book.
After my "How to Save a Damsel in Distress" was published here on FP I had at least 2 people so far asking me to write about a guy who actually tries to follow those rules. One of those people was scowabanga-girl2763, who I asked to write this with me. I'll be writing the princess Jasibella's story and she will write Prince William's story. This if we stick to the plan. This may change. So, I hope y'all like to know how Jasibella found the book. I will publish how the first step went for her soon ; )
