Theirstory continues - and now the end is near

Fiona could only be too happy with all of Jimboi’s time and attention. She could feel him caring for her. She could feel her falling hard for him. But can all of this really be?

Princhecha Fiona could not believe that the stars made her wish come true. She need not dream no more, need not feel jealous when she sees lovers acting sweety-loverish.

Her very own prince charming. In real life. Finally.

Though the prince, being tough and all, wished that their relationship be kept a secret at first. Princhecha didn't care at all if it was to be a clandestine affair. Afterall, what could she ask for? They were lovers, doing what lovers do- dates, dinners and what-have-yous. Who cares if the world wouldn't know of the love happening between the prince and her?

But as they say, secrets don't remain secrets for long. The people of Far, Far Away began noticing the something between the two. Who wouldn't notice the magic in their eyes when they look at each other? Add to the fact that they were always together.

One day, Princess Hakira borrowed Prince Jimboi's phone on the pretext of tinkering with it. She was just really trying to confirm all their suspicions. And she did when she found a message from Fiona that read "I love you." With that, the secret was out to the circle. Prince Jimboi never spoke to Hakira again.

Fiona didn't mind that the relationship was known but she asked that the knowledge of the relationship be kept within the circle explaining Prince Jimboi's issues and concerns.

But Princhecha still did not disclose their relationship to her closest friends. Until one day, in a party, Prince Jimboi decided to reveal the relationship to all of Fiona's friends much to their delight (and shock - they couldn't believe that Fiona was able to hold something like this from them that long) .

The sweet and lovely years would stroll along.

And like in fairytales, the story wouldn't be complete without the usual sinister characters. For one, there is the wicked troll of the north, Flerryda, who fell for Jimboi. And who asked the prince: "Are you sure you're the only guy in her life? I mean look at her, she is a princhecha. I'm certain she has played around" and "I will never go out with the likes of princhecha. Well maybe I would if I drank a barrel of alcohol first" and "I am not sure of me and my partner's future together. How about you? Are you breaking up with Fiona anytime soon?". He even went on to give Jimboi an apple laced with potion so he could get what he wants from him. Albeit with tears and drama, these dark chapters soon came to pass.

But unlike in fairytales, this one would not end with "and they live happily ever after."


For this is no fairytale.





(To her wishes, I would let Princhecha Fiona finish recounting theirstory. The last and final chapter of the tale you would hear in her voice. You all have been very good audience, thank you very much.)

Theirstory Continues - the beginning of the beginning

A few boring chapters after, they began hitting it off. Soon enough they became close.

Fiona was a head of a committee in CoA. She wittingly picked Jimboi to be under her committee so that they would become closer. And so that she’d have an excuse to check up on him from time to time.

Meanwhile, the organization was teaming up Prince Jimboi with Princess Hakira. And Fiona, being friends with both, was also rooting for the loveteam. Deep inside though, she wished Hakira was her instead.

After a few months, for reasons Fiona did not exactly know, Jimboi took a breather from courting Hakira – just when she was about to say yes to him. A few weeks still, news of Hakira saying yes to another suitor spread within the circle. The news brought a bit of sorrow to Jimboi (Fiona could only point to a bruised male ego as the reason for the sadness - it was after all his decision to stop wooing her).

But who is she to care? Soon enough she became the friend-ready-to-help-a-friend-in-need, the shoulder to cry on. The two pratically became inseparable afterwards. They were together everyday- dining out, having coffee, playing bowling, studying together and getting to know each other deeper. They would even sneak out in the garden late at night and do nothing but gaze at the stars above. Jimboi became a constant visitor in Fiona’s palace.

“Is this it? Is this my chance of having a prince charming I could only have in dreams? Has God finally answered my prayers? Am I hoping too much? Am I misreading between the lines?”

Fiona could only be too happy with all of Jimboi’s time and attention. She could feel him caring for her. She could feel her falling hard for him.

But can all of this really be?

The Alpha of The Story - Theirstory

A long, long time time ago (uhhm, actually it’s just 7 years ago), in a land far, far away (come to think of it, it’s not that far, it’s just around the corner where there’s a naked man with outstretched arms, face looking at the sky), a princhecha named Fiona Wilhelmina Camilla went with her (yes, her talaga?!) friends to watch them practice a dance for the ball (it’s actually a final requirement for a Street Dance class but since this is a fairy tale methinks it’s more appropriate to use "the ball". Hihihi. Anyway, why do I keep on explaining? It just pads the story! Anyhoo, whatever, back to the tale.).

That was when she first laid eyes on him. ‘Hmmm, he’s cute. And a good dancer too! But a bit of a snob.’

Later on she learned that his name is Princhepe Jimboi and that he too is majoring in Arithmancy. ‘Good’, she figured that since only a small number of princhechas and princhepes take Arithmancy, she’s bound to see him around. She even thought of inviting him to join the Circle of Arithmancer, of which she is a member. But thinking that princhechas shouldn’t make the first move, she didn’t.

Luckily, he ended up signing up for CoA anyway - much to the delight of Fiona. ‘At least now we have a chance to get closer. We could even be friends.’

At first, you couldn’t exactly say that they were close, much more friends. He was close to Fiona’s friends but to her he was a little aloof. ‘Heck. Oh well, at least I get to see him. And get to talk to him a few times even if he seems remote.’

(Jimboi later told Fiona why he was a little distant. He does not like gregarious folks, and Fiona being vivacious, he was a little uncomfortable with her. ‘It’s just his excuse. I think he likes me, he just doesn’t want to show’.)

A few boring chapters after, they began hitting it off. Soon enough they became close. And this, ladies and gents, is the beginning of theirstory.
