A piece of complete and utter romantic nonsense which takes place at a ball, I think…
Gezelda stepped into the room and with one swift survey of it she seemed to make it plain that she was now in charge. Eyes flashing she glided from the opening door to where handsome young Drasan stood with his eyes fixed on pretty Telzi. With a conniving sneer at Telzi, Gezelda took Drasan’s arm and together the two stepped out onto the dance floor. As the music rose and the lights twinkled and played amongst the crystal of the chandeliers Gezelda and Drasan began to dance.
Telzi mischievously smiled, displaying a cute little dimple, she was thankful for Gezelda’s interruption as Drasan’s attentions had become most irksome. Suddenly she felt a breath of wind on her face, which was odd in a room that had no windows and was far removed indeed from the outer world.
Hastily turning around she suddenly saw him, handsome prince Jason. She smiled ever so slightly and blushed as his gaze met hers. As he approached her and laid his hand ever so gently on hers he whispered, “Happy Valentine’s Day, Darling.”
Then as the violins struck up a soft, dreamy waltz they floated off together completely unaware of any one or anything else in the room, even Gezelda, who was fervently wishing she had delayed her grand entrance a few minutes, and was now sending looks Telzi’s way that, although they wouldn’t have killed, probably would have resulted in the freezing to death of Telzi had they had the effect intended.
But none of this happened, fortunately, and everybody lived happily ever after since an even handsomer and richer prince than Prince Jason came into the room and successfully captivated Gezelda a short time later. True, his manners weren’t to the same caliber as his looks and he greatly resembled a Tyrannosaurus Rex in brain size but Gezelda was the sort who didn’t care, so long as he was rich.
However, although they all lived happily ever after… Well, some of them only lived happily ever after compared to a freshly caught fish hung out on a string to flop and wriggle until the end of it’s miserable existence (cough Gezelda cough) while others lived as happily as a two young lovers who get married and settle down and almost never quarrel can, (cough Telzi and Jason cough). THE END
MORAL: You really don’t want to know what I was going to type here… It had to do with fish…
