May 08, 2011 15:08

Title: Princess Maria and the Five Princes
Summary: A parody of "The Princess and the Tin Box."  My special for the occasion.  Does not coincide with TPaHU universe, because this world is all messed up.
Characters: Princess Maria, King Antonio, the five prince suitors [Che.  It'll give away spoilers.], and several unexpected people.
Rating: T
Warning: Another fail!attempt at humor, and the semi-own-POV is here too.  Some genderbending and swearing.
Preview:

"And the most handsome of them all...not to mention the poorest, sadly..."

Before Maria could hear the name, she could hardly force her mischievous smile to disappear, a result of concealing her laughter.

Papa, you idiot, what the hell.  He just looks more like you than Eyebrows herself!  Oh, wait.  He's adopted.

It was another fine day for Her Highness Maria.  She had planned how the day would go.  She had told the servants and sent the invitations several nights before.  She was making her way outside the palace.  Nothing would ruin it, except for her happy-go-lucky father.

"Mija!" King Antonio greeted her, "The five princes are here!"

"Eh?!" she looked at her father, and raised an eyebrow.

"Come!"

"Wait, what is--"

"Hush, mija!  You'll know!"

The man dragged his daughter all the way to the main room of the gigantic citadel.  He let her sit on the throne, and cleared his throat.

"May I present you, mija, the candidates for a husband!"

Oh.  Papa...

"Papa, I don't--"

"Hush hush!  Open the door for...Prince...Alfred!"

The way Papa says it...it's really as if I'm gonna watch another Manny Pacquiao fight!  Maria, this is not the time to laugh about it...

The huge pair of doors opened, and standing mightily like a superhero on TV, was the blond, energetic Prince Alfred, noted the noble who would look like a commoner if left unnoticed.  He ran towards Maria, and to stop, he slid on his knees and opened his coat.  A golden apple stumbled forward, and stopped at Maria's feet.  Suits you, Alfred.  Like a glutton.  Pfft!  Maria!  Stop it!

"I, Prince Alfred, came here, to present you, a gift!" he panted, "A golden apple!  I bravely faced, a fierce black dragon, who had this in its possession, for, over 9000!  Days!"

"E-ehrm.  I appreciate your e-efforts, Prince Alfred.  P-please put it over there!" Maria pointed to an ebony table in the room, and looked at her father.  Don't tell me...his twin, also...didn't he?!

"Next up, is...Prince...Matthew!"

Shit.  Katya will kill me for this...

The doors opened again, and came the gentle-faced Prince Matthew.  He was one you should really give attention to, or else he will cry.  He danced gracefully as a means to go near Maria, and presented a diamond-studded bird figure.  Absolutely like his Papa, charming, flamboyant?

"I, Prince Matthew, have gone through terrible journeys, in order to find this stunning nightingale of a thousand diamonds, which I have decided to give to a bride I chose."

Matthew, no matter how "hidden" you could be, I can still see that heated averted gaze of yours towards Alfred.

"How sweet of you, Prince Matthew!  Please put that over t-there," Maria inwardly gulped, aware of the first prince's jealous stare.

"Next is...Prince Gilbert!  Bastardo!!"

Papa.  Why the hell are you crying.  Oh my, how inconsiderate, Maria!  Harharhar.

The doors revealed the albino Prince Gilbert whose grin had reached his ears.  Figuratively, of course.  He marched in the room, as if he was inside his own home.  Maria fought the urge to scream and send him away immediately, noticing that huge-ass box he's carrying.  Well...it looks so nice, but...THAT big?!  Like it could fit my kalabaw?!

"Greetings, Maria-baby!  I have made you a box using platinum and sapphires!  I poured my love into this, and my hands hurt from all those mixing and making.  You may see the scars freely!"

Maria forced a sincere smile on her face, and said, "How thoughtful, Prince G-Gilbert!  Please place it o-over there!"

Who could be the next guy?  Wait...it couldn't be...right?!  But if Gilbert is here, then...

"And then we have...Prince Roderich!  I could approve of it!"

Papa, just because you were after him one time...I think I have a migraine...

The feminine Prince Roderich made his careful steps towards Maria.  He still carried a certain air of nobility, and of course, a gift in his hands placed near his heart.  Weeeeh...as if I'll believe that...

"A pleasant morning, Princess Maria.  I am Prince Roderich, and I shall offer you my heart, pierced with Cupid's arrow."

Big weh.  You can be as cheesy slash corny as you want, but che.  But then again, a heart of ruby 'pierced' by an emerald arrow...that's damn expensive.

"Your vocabulary is quite updated, Prince Roderich.  Please...put it over there."  Okay.  There's the twins, and the 'brothers.'   Who, who...wait a minute.  Isn't this like "The Princess and the Tin Box?"  Who...who...who...?!

"And the most handsome of them all...not to mention the poorest, sadly..."

Before Maria could hear the name of the prince, she could hardly force her mischievous smile to disappear, a result of concealing her laughter.

Papa, you idiot, what the hell.  He looks just more like you than Eyebrows herself!  Oh wait.  He's adopted.

"Prince...Kyle!   Fancy seeing you here!" she said as an excuse for her expression, as said man made his way.  In his hands was a little, plain box.

"Here, Princess Maria, are the jewels only found in my kingdom," he calmly said.

But of course, Maria was more distracted by Kyle's looks and what her father had said.  She let all her hidden laughter out, to the point that her tummy had hurt, and she had coughs.  The princes looked at her as if she was a weirdo, then at each other.

"Mija, what's the matter?" asked Antonio, innocently.

"Pa, what the hell.  They aren't here for that purpose at all!"

Apparently she couldn't get over her thoughts.  She continued laughing for the next seven minutes.

"Your Highness!  Forgive me!"

Heads turned, and the laughter halted.  It was Thien, the personal servant of Princess Maria.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness," she cried, "But word got out to your father and he misunderstood it, apparently!"

"Antonio!" another feminine voice was heard, "Antonio you bastard!"

"Oh, Mama's here," Maria smiled.

As the Queen Chiara scolded and ranted to her husband, who can't even understand anything about her ramblings, Maria requested the princes to stay.

"So..." Alfred cleared his throat, "Why were we sent here, then?  I-if not...for...well...eh..."

"Yeah, yeah, forget that," Maria shrugged it off, "You're here at the request of my children."

"Children?!" the princes chorused.

"Yeah.  Didn't you know it's Mothers' Day today?"

"Shit!"

"Mommy's...!"

"Oh my...Maman...!!"

"Verdammt!"

"Ugh..."

"Don't worry, guys, I invited your Mommies here as well."

"No way."

"Yes way."

"Blast it, Alfred, Matthew, and you too, Kyle!"

"Gilbert, Roderich, hug~!"

They turned to the sources, and found the Queens Rosa, mother to Alfred, Matthew and Kyle, and Alice, mother to Gilbert and Roderich.  Rosa reprimanded her sons as stubborn as their papa, while Alice found herself in the loving (?) arms of her sons, who are, like their vater, hesitant to show affection.

"Sorry, Missus Rosa, Missus Alice, I didn't get to the Girls Only Ball.  Oh, you know, this stuff...and you, princes, pay tribute to your mommehs."

"'Nay."

Maria turned to see her sons and daughter with hopeful smiles plastered on their faces.

"Let's go, okay?  Thien!"

"Everything else is ready, Your Highness!"

"Yay!"

Hell yeah.  Nothing's gonna ruin it, alright!

Happy Mother's Day.

FAIL!  The shifting to the end was oh em ghi fail.

So...where does the idea of Alice / NyoItaly and Ludi [implied] being parents to Gilbo and Roddy come from?  Er...actually, you can play around with those four.  But it's better if it was Italy was the mommy because he can give so much luff and care to the three.  A perfect moment to go "aww..."  And of course, the FACE family.  I actually wanted France to be the mother but...I dunno...Queen Marianne...urgh.  It reminds me of EMPRESS Marianne from Code Geass, who is a Britannian.  Code Geass is AU, BTW, so don't even wonder why AMERICA is their BRITAIN.

And for Empress Marianne, I greet you a Happy Mother's Day for bringing the bishi called Lelouch a.k.a. Lulu into this world.

Oh, yeah.  Thien = Vietnam.

Off to die from shame.  Thanks for reading.

Oh, and questions?  Comments?  Suggestions?  Violent reactions?
