Fairy Tales

By Nicollette Marquis McFadgen

"I liked it," Xander commented as he hit the rewind button on the remote. "How about you?" he asked Angelus whose head was lying in his lap.

Angelus looked up and shrugged. "It was okay."

"Okay? Boy, you're Descript-o Boy tonight, huh?"

Sitting up, Angel smiled lazily. "It was pretty good, but that's not what happened."

"Dead Boy, it's a Cinderella movie, it's based on a fairy tale. No one knows how it really happened or if it really happened."

"I do. Prince Henry didn't want to marry the Spanish Princess because girls did nothing for him. He really liked a young servant boy. He was gay."

"So Cinderella was a guy?" Angelus nodded his head. "Bullshit!"

"No, I'm serious. He was a male. And they never lived happily ever after. Although, the movie was right about only one of his stepsisters being mean. And he did have glass slippers."

"So, let me get this straight." Xander tried not to laugh. "Prince Henry was gay. I can buy that. Cinderella was a guy who was not only a servant, but a drag queen as well?" Xander shook his head. "You're so full of shit."

"I'm completely serious, Xanny."

"How is it that you know all this stuff? Not even you were alive back then."

"Darla told me. She was around back then and she knew Henry."

"Darla told you that?" Angelus nodded. "And you believed her?"

"Why would she lie?"

"Um, I don't know...'cause she's Darla?"

"I admit that she wasn't the most honest vampire I knew, but she wouldn't lie to me about something like that."

"Did she tell you Jack was really Jane and that the beanstalk wasn't really a beanstalk, it was a giant penis that took her to a magical far off land where large penises play?"

"Now you're just being silly."

"And I bet the magic beans weren't beans, they were pebbles that Jane traded not a cow but her little brother for."

"Okay. I understand. No need to further insult me, Xander."

"Was Sleeping Beauty really a boy? How about Peter Pan? Don't tell me. Really a girl with the 'lost girls' and Captain hook was really in love with her and only wanted to cuddle? How about Goldielocks? Were the three bears homosexual lovers, not mother, father, and baby? Did Darla fill you in on the fabulous foursomes that took place in the 'just right bed'?"

"Okay, now you're just annoying me."

"Am I?" Angelus nodded. "How about Robin Hood? Was Maid Marian really Prince John in drag?"

Angelus growled and pounced on the giggling Xander. "You're being very annoying." Xander just smiled at him with his sexy 'come get me' smirk. "Remind me never to tell you anything ever again." Lowering his lips to Xander's, Angelus kissed his lover passionately.
