So y’all remember when I said Blue friend zoned me? Well that might have been the best thing that happened to me. We have spent a lot of time together, either in a group or even alone. We went and saw his brothers play, which was amazing, with another girl Orange. Who also likes Blue but also likes Yellow and just about every living thing. Then we all went to the park at night which was fun. On Sunday we hung out at a church party. I never realized how many girls liked him. They were all over him and me trying to get closer to him. Sigh, Females. Plus a lot of guys were hitting on me and Blue said he would punch them if they did again. Then when we were leaving his group leader ask if he was taking me home then gave that “ya buddy” nod when he said yes. Lolwut? What was that about but anyway in the end he still left with me :P. I think the best part is the car rides. We usually talk the whole time about some pretty meaningful stuff and it’s really the only time we are alone. We talked about hopes and dream, embarrassing moments and deep secrets. I guess he really is my friend, for now that is. Red + Blue = Purple? in the future maybe :)

Hey there guys! Me (Kj), Red, and Bones are heading off to CIY (Christ in youth) MOVE. So we can all get some R&R with my main man Jesus. We will be going to ca1 in California so if any of you are going see you there. Anyway will be back on the 14th and start posting again so don’t you move that dial or unfollow :) Laters!

So there seems to be a lot of misinformation floating about how girls always friend zone the “good guys” and date the jerks. But what about the guys who friend zone the girls. Now I know you’re think “Whaa that never happens” or “Well you friend zone him first” But NO! Naw man, naw. This has happened to me with every guy I have ever met in my whole entire life. I don’t know maybe I am to cool for guys to like me and I am a better friend. Oh well. 

So this is how it normally works. I meet a boy, I don’t throw myself at him but I show interest and stuff. We hang out of a bit and I pick a perfect time (I think) to ask him on a date. It goes like this 9 times out of 10.

Me: Hey Derp, I really like hanging out with you and I was wondering if you would like to, you know, go on a date sometime?

Derp: Hey, I really like you and all, as a friend but I would like to keep it like that okay? 

Me:  (As a friend, a friend, FRIEND! DAFUQ) Okay.

Turns out Derp only likes to date girls that are either totally bitches that will rip his heart out or girls that will friend zone them. Woah what? Look at that logic, behind every friend zoned guy is a girl willing to hand them their love on a silver plate but Nooo Derp only likes bitches like Herpina. And I as I sit there watching this girl rip your heart out I can help but think “What if you had said yes to me? This would not be happening” But when all is said and done I know you will come back to me and we will bad mouth Herpina as you cry on my shoulder. Forever a Friend.

Oh, how long have we got?

I told you how long we’ve got

All the time in the world

I’ve got a thing for you

You’ve got a thing for me

I’ve got my mind made up

You’ve got my heart you know

You’ve got a thing for me

You’ve got a thing for me

My name is Ella I have, and will always be, a bridesmaid, never a bride. Well not exactly, I’m a wedding planner and have helped every princess in the land plan their weddings; Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty and Ariel, all of them. Every single time they say “Thank you for helping me I just can’t believe I am going to marry my prince, I’m so Happy”. Every time they say that I just have to tune it out because I have not found my prince yet or even someone close. Now I have to go to another wedding.  Belle is marrying the Beast Prince, which should be fun.

Belle was having second thoughts.  This is normal. It happened to Jasmine, Snow White and Fiona and I told them the same thing “If it is true love you will know “ and they cheer up. Belle’s dress was a beautiful yellowish color.  I was wearing red, I guess I did not get the memo, but it was all right.

At Belle’s wedding reception, the talking pots and clocks were making a lot of noise. I made my way over there to tell them to be quite but a man in a waiter uniform beat me there.  I said “What is your name sir?” He answered Arik with an A.  I replied “You shall be rewarded for that Arik”.  Arik said “No thank you, you do not have to do that but what is your name?”  “Ella”, I answered.  “What charming name ‘Ella’.  I like it, no love it,” Arik commented. “Would you like to have diner some time?’ I panicked and before I knew it I had said yes.

After the reception I was walking to my fairy godmother’s house and thinking this guy could be my Prince Charming.  I ran into her house and sat on her couch smiling. “What is it dear, why are you smiling”, she asked? “I’ve got a date, I’ve got a date” I sang. “Well good for you dear, where did you meet him?”  “At Belle’s wedding” I replied.  “He’s a waiter but behaved like a real prince.”  “Are you in love?” she asked. I had no idea if I loved him I had just met Arik, but in Fairy Tale Land it is usually love a first sight and marriage the next day.  No one ever dates. Maybe he was from out of town but no one has left or come into Fairy Tale Land - ever.

A few weeks later I was going on my third date with Arik tonight.  We had two great dates before that.  I had nothing to wear so I called my old friends the mice, Gus Gus and Jacque who own a shop on Fairy Tale Drive. They made me the most beautiful dress ever. It was pink with pink lace along the skirt. As soon as I got dressed I heard a knock on the door.  It couldn’t have been Arik because he would have been too early. I opened the door. It was an old lady with an apple.  She said “Take a bite and your dreams” [slam].  Snow White had warned me about her.

Arik arrived a little later and he said “Your chariot awaits my dear.” I giggled because he drives a station wagon. As I came outside, I heard the words “bibbitty, bobbitty, boo” and the car turned in to a beautiful, horse-drawn carriage.  He gasped and I smiled as I saw the flash of light out of the corner of my eye.  My fairy godmother had come through for me again.  I asked him where we were going and he replied “time will tell.”

We had been riding for a while when we came to a stop.  I looked out the window and read the sign Cinderella’s & Prince Erik’s Castle Party. I immediately said “How on earth did you get invited to this? This is the biggest Ball of the year!” He quickly answered “My boss gave me tickets.” When we arrived Arik said to the doorman “Sir Arik with an A and my lovely date Ella” The short round man replied “I would know you anywhere Pri – OW!” Arik quickly apologized for stepping on the man’s foot and we went inside.

 Arik and I danced the night away.  At the stroke of midnight Arik said “Ella of Wicton,” and he got on one knee “Will you marry me?” The crowds heard him say this and with happy faces were mouthing the word “yes”.  I happily answered “YES”. The crowd cheered with excitement. Cinderella came up to us and said “Ella of Wicton you are now a princess bride you have your true love Prince Arik of Levinton!” At first I thought they can’t mean my Arik is a prince.  He works as a waiter and drives a station wagon.  “Ella I was going to tell you, but I wanted you to love me for me!” Arik said almost crying.  I screamed “you lied to me!” and I turned and ran out of the building. I just can’t me a princess I can’t!

As I was running I lost one of my Choo’s, you know Jiminy.  I would have gone back because they are expensive shoes, but the people had started chasing me. I hailed a taxi to go home. Before I got in to the taxi I heard Arik yelling my name and everything slowed down. My fairy godmother appeared in front of me. She asked “Where are you going child?” All I could think of is how he lied to me, but all I said was “I don’t know.” She looked at me with motherly eyes and said “This is what you have waited for your whole life”. At that point I realized she was right. I turned and ran toward the shouting mob and collided with Arik

As I looked up and our eyes met, I realized that he was my true love.  It takes a lot of work to get a wedding ready in one day but all my Princess friends pitched in and helped.  Everyone agreed that it was the most beautiful wedding Fairy Tale Land had seen in many years.  Now I know what all the other girls have been talking about for so long when they say “We’ll live happily ever after.”

Hey there guys, this is Happily Ella After. It is kind of a funny more mature short fairy tale. It involves some Disney characters so I hope you get the references. Enjoy!

             I remember almost crystal clear, the time I met my friend, Josh. I have always been quite the loner, never truly having many friends as a child or even now are a young adult. It was a normal day as normal as any day for me could be that is. I went about my normal routine which involved school, chores and studies. Then like always I went to the park to either read or draw under my favorite tree near our artificial pond at the park. I noticed something peculiar under the tree, something that most certainly did not be long in my personal space. It was a boy. He was not even doing anything just sitting under my safe haven like he was meant to be there. I promptly went over there to give him a piece of my mind about sitting in my spot, which clearly all the neighborhood children knew was mine.  

            As I opened my mouth about to speak out of rage and fury due to this unexpected disruption to my normal routine; he looked at me and spoke ever so kindly ‘I was waiting for you’. Waiting for me? What ever did this strange boy mean? I was not friend of his, no, not even an acquaintance. I had never once in my life seen this boy yet he waited patiently for me. I guess he could tell I looked puzzled since I probably had my over animated confused face on. He then told me that he lived right across from the park and pointed to his house. He said he was always very sick so he could never really leave the house to play with the other children but almost everyday he would see me sit under the tree and read. He said ‘I always wished I could come outside and sit with you. You always seemed so lonely.’ I felt both shocked and guilty, I sat out here never really doing anything but read while some poor sickly boy could not even leave his house. I asked him why of all the things to do he chose to come here and sit in my spot. Then he told me ‘It was the first thing I said I would do, because I was lonely and you were lonely. So I thought maybe we could keep each other company’

            He wanted to be my friend, this strange boy sitting under the tree waiting for me. The friendless girl who sat alone and the lonesome boy who stayed at home, what an odd pair.  That’s how it was, the two who never had many friends now had each other and I guess that is all that really mattered. So without fail almost everyday I went out to the tree, to my spot, no our spot and he would be there waiting for me. He couldn’t run or play so he would sit or listen while I read. Now that I think on it, it must have been quite odd to see him sitting, doing nothing while my nose was in a book. Never the less that is what he wanted to do.

This went on for nearly two years, me reading and him listening to the wonderful stories, until he stopped showing up. He had got sick again. It was worse then before, he couldn’t stay at his house and was stuck in the hospital. I tried the best I could to go there everyday during visiting hours to read to him. I would read and he would listen, like it had been. One day he told me that I was the greatest friend he had ever had, that I made his life happy and worth while. It was true, and he had done the same for me, the little friendless girl under the tree had a friend to call her own. Unfortunately he passed away a few weeks after that. He was the best friend I had ever known, the only friend; he taught me how to live and be happy. After he passed, I carved our names into our tree and sometimes I still sit there read.

Hello, you just read a short narrative about the love and friendship between a girl and a boy. This is based on a very true story almost exactly. Yes this actually happened to me, I am the girl and boy may he rest in peace is actually was a dear friend. Today would have been his 17th birthday so I wrote this story for him. I will probably read it to him our tree later. 

You make my knees shake

And my skins so supple ache

As you cover me in your sugar kiss

My nights filled with endless bliss

Dripping with passions lust

Grand sensation in every trust

Many a moment with ecstasy

Stay and lay next to me

Maybe once more rock the bed

But let me take over instead

I will do all I can

To show you you’re my man

Two young lovers in twilight 

They pine for romance 
The fluttering of heart
His hand upon her breast
Feels the swift pounds
Be they in love
Be they not
Safe in his embrace 
Lips of sweet cherry
She swoons for a kiss 
He obliges blissfully
Two young lovers in twilight

- Red

Night and Light

Breaking on the beating twine

Your love is lost upon thine

Waiting for the sweet smile

I shall not have to linger awhile

Depart for me harsh sorrow

I shall piece part on the morrow

For today though, I dance with you

Forming lovers hearts of two

You are the light within me

Shining on the good I cannot see

Like a phoenix from the ashes so fast

Thy happiness is here at last.

- You, Bones
