A Bedtime Story for Her Once upon a time in a kingdom far far away, there lived a commoner and a princess. Of course there were other people as well lah, but those two are our protagonists. The commoner was a smart boy, though sometimes he could be quite lazy. He was also very idealistic, often dreaming of castles in the sky. He told himself one day he will be up there in the castle with the beautiful princess herself.

The princess, in contrast, was a pragmatic damsel (not in distress though), who worked hard to improve herself and to help people who are less fortunate. She also has tonnes and tonnes of princes from all over the universe, coming to ask for her hand. The princess, being an assertive character, did not accept them all unless she somehow believes that he is the one and only one for her. So obviously she wouldn't choose the commoner lor.

The commoner did not know this at first and tried ways and means of getting nearer to the princess to win her heart. Little did he know that the princess would not choose him no matter what he did. Time passed and he was still single-minded in his belief that the princess was the one for him. Many of his fellow commoners laughed at him and ask him to find someone of his own kind. He often nodded but deep inside his heart, he knew only the princess is the one for him.

Finally, one fine spring day, the commoner finally professed his feelings to the princess. The princess opened her mouth wide in surprise for several minutes. When at last she regained her composure, she blurted "But you... you have a... babyface!". Now it is the commoner's turn to open her mouth in surprise. But he didn't say anything in reply. He knew that it was the truth. He couldn't be what the princess wanted her prince to be. Dejected, the commoner left despite the princess' plea to be just friends with him. He knew that being friends would hurt him more and chose to leave instead.

Years passed but still both of them were alone though they did have many of their own friends. One day, he chanced upon a kingdom in his journey around the universe. He didn't realize that this was his beloved hometown, because there was so much changes done by the princess. Lo and behold, as fate would have it he bumped into the princess (not literally of course) and they began talking to each other again. The princess noticed this one day and decided hey... I shouldnt lead him on anymore and then arranged to meet him outside the cinema exit at a square marina.

The day arrived. The princess quickly asked the commoner not to say anything first. She then leaned towards him and whispered "... ... ...".
