Baaaw! I loved this one!


Lacey Primrose and Robin Goodfellow
The Princess and the Puck
I laughed as the sun broke the dusk that midsummer day. It had been one year since the confusion last summer. All the faerie dust and the crazy lovers...even a mule tossed into the mix. I couldn't help but roar at the memories. The memory that was The Midsummer Night's Dream.
The couples had supposedly prospered since my meddling that evening. They were all with their respective partners, the faerie spell broken and Titania the Faerie queen was no longer in love with a human transformed into a mule...oh yes, and he was also changed back, much to my dismay. I thought it rather suiting to him.
As the twilight began to set in, I noticed the other faeries and pucks beginning to settle in for the night. I myself, was restless. I remember swinging between the trees with a whooping laughter that everyone scolded with a healthy scowl as I passed but I didn't care. It was only me, Robin Goodfellow.
I eventually stopped my rousing and sat on an oak tree branch along one the forest's paths. Gazing into the night sky, I saw the same constellations looking back at me as that summer night not so long ago. Thinking of all the lovers and how happy they were brought a bit of a damper to my heart. No one loved me like that. I was just Robin Goodfellow, the mischevious puck who was usually to blame for any antics occurred. No one ever said they loved me, no one did.
Just then, a pair of voices interrupted my chain of thoughts as they floated to me from the forest's edge. I turned to see two very familiar faces. It was the Duke and his wife Hippolyta. I couldn't help but smile my signature toothy grin. They were also involved in the sham last year but it seemed that they were still happy. Hippolyta even seemed to be carrying a baby. Sure enough, the cooes from both parents solidified my inquiry.
They came to a stop underneath my oak tree and sat for a rest while cradling their little infant. I looked at it curiously for a moment to figure it out. It was a little girl, a few months old and seemingly very curious. As they toyed with her affections, she looked up at me in the branches and smiled wide, like she recognized me or something. I smiled back and waved to her and giggled softly as she returned the gesture, flailing her little arms. Her parents laughed and played with her, thinking the attention was for them and I couldn't help but laugh.
After a bit, they stood up and the Duke propped his daughter to his chest so she could see out behind him. Hippolyta tickled her daughter and cooed her name. It was Lacey I think. As they walked away, the little baby laughed and waved at me and I waved happily back. "I hope to see you again little Lacey"
