This is a story that I wrote for Jennifer Robinson, just out of the blue one day. I planned on giving her the story first so that she could read before anyone else, cuz after all, it's her story, before putting it up here. And I've done just that! Jenn enjoyed the story and I hope you do too!

There once was a girl named Jennifer Robinson. She was from a far away land called Aloasia. She was, of course, the prettiest girl in the entire kingdom. But, you see, she has never had a lover, because she had a curse on her. Whenever a man would come within 5 feet of her, they would become violently ill. Jennifer liked to take walks through the town, so men had to be on the lookout for her so they wouldn’t get sick. Jennifer was getting older and was soon to take the throne, if she could find a man to marry. But because of the curse, no man would dare go near her.

One day, while Jennifer was just dancing, singing, and picking flowers for her parents out in the meadows that were just outside the city limits, a man suddenly approached her. Jennifer was stunned that the man was not getting sick as he came up to her, nor did she recognize him. Jennifer could have sworn that she knew all the subjects of the kingdom. He was such a gorgeous looking man, that she thought that it was too good to be true. He had beautiful brown hair, a great accent, and blue eyes that seemed to go on forever.

Jennifer began to get lost in her thoughts. “Excuse me. Excuse me Miss.” he repeated himself several times to get her attention. Jennifer snapped back to reality, “Oh! I’m so sorry! How can I help you?” “I am trying to find my way to Aloasia. Do you, perchance,know where it is?” the man asked. Jennifer gasped, “Yes, I do!” Jennifer had to calm herself before she could continue, “I am Jennifer Robinson, Princess of Aloasia. Where are you trying to go?” “Oh,” he breathed a sigh of relief, “I am trying to find the Good Shepherd Church of God. I have heard that they hold services there every Sunday and I wanted to go today. My name is Luke, by the way, Luke Damon. And I am from Krenasia, about 300 miles from here.” “Luke.” Jennifer said to herself. Now she knew why she didn’t recognize him. “Let me show you the way! My mother and father will be thrilled to have a newcomer.” Jennifer told him, as she started walking. Luke followed behind her, “Thank you so much. I have my own church back in Krenasia that I attend every Sunday, and have done so for all of my life. But for some reason, all of the sudden, I felt that God was calling me here. And at first, I didn’t think anything of it. But as the days went on, the call to come here was just too strong to ignore Him any longer and so here I am.” “Well, I am certainly glad that you are here.” Jennifer told him. Luke smiled, “You know, forgive me for being so blunt, but you are a very pretty girl. Surely you must have a lover.” “No,” Jennifer said, sadly, “You see, I have this curse. Whenever a man dares to come within five feet of me, they are suddenly ill. “Well, I feel great!” Luke assured her. “Well I guess that you are certainly different from all the rest!” Jennifer said.

They walked in silence for a few minutes, “What do you think about life?” Jennifer inquired. Luke answered, “I believe that life is too short to be serious one hundred percent of the time. You have take chances.” “Really?” Jennifer asked. “Yea, I mean, that’s what makes life so exciting.” he answered. “And music?” she asked. “Life wouldn’t be life. Music is a part of the soul. You cannot have one with out the other. Is there a reason for all these questions?” he asked, chuckling. “No…” Jennifer said, half-heartedly and smiling, and kept walking without looking back.

They arrived at the church. They walked up the stairs and as they were about enter the church; Luke grabbed her arm and pulled her back. “What are yo—?” Jennifer started to say, but Luke interrupted her, “I want to ask you something.” Jennifer was a little bit confused and could see her parents walking up. Luke took both of her hands into his and started to talk, “I think that it is fate that we met. I have never attended another church my whole life. God called me here for a reason. I think you are very beautiful. I don’t think it is just a coincidence that I just happen to not get sick around you as all other men have. I know we just met, but life is too short to not take a chance.” At this point, Luke started to go down on one knee. “What are you doing?” Jennifer asked, already knowing the answer. “With God and your parents as my witnesses, I ask you this now. Will you, Jennifer Robinson, marry me, Luke Damon?” he asked, looking up at her. He was hoping that even though they had just met, that she would say yes. As stunned as she and her parents were, she said yes before she could even think it. “Yes, Luke Damon, I will marry you!” Luke got up and threw his arms around her waist and she threw hers around his neck and they kissed.

Three months later, they were happily married. They succeeded Jennifer’s parents as Luke and Jennifer Damon, King and Queen of Aloasia. And most importantly….


they lived happily ever after.
