Description

(PLEASE REVIEW! dedicated to one who showed both sides to his heart and the strength to let go)
The multi-tiered castle was covered in garlands, balloons and other pointless meaningless trivialities.
Not that a reason to celebrate wasn't celebration enough. 
Impatience.
But that he *finally* had come to terms that the realms had needed and been ultimately, rescued by a boy...
Okay young man.
And had easily charmed Lana....
Various worlds, within and beyond the boundaries, even those which were not represented on the wide map - had shown up at the holiday event
They were at peace.
After a long and especially trying two weeks - trouble always seemed to peak at the end of the cold season...
No wonder he was all mixed up!
He was tired and possibly...
What exactly?
The tenacious, triforce nursemaid had read fortunes that afternoon at tea time.
Perhaps all made up from the same sixteen-bit fluff that the clouds were made of.
But the old woman did say that he'd get a kiss from a princess!
That even now, under the strange grey metallic plant-stuff that the Game Master had brought in - from his Ultimate Warp Zone!
Looking up at the mistletoe with annoyance.  
It looked like a panicked projectile from that pathetic, purple conjurer...
And had been tied from above with a red ribbon; as if *that* would distinguish it from the other decorations.
Like who would remember...?
Simon felt himself become more weary.
It was unlikely that the VideoLand vixen would be the princess of his dreams.
But who else but...?
"Mister Belmont?"
Blinking back an emotion that nearly left a trace on his perfectly chiseled features, the vampire hunter looked 
up to see the petite pixie from Zelda's kingdom.
The Hyrulian heiress was yet *another* princess he'd lost out on?!
Realizing this made Belmont even more depressed and he'd missed the follow-up query.  
"What did you say?"
Alighting on his shoulder, thus bracing herself against his backpack and then closer to his ear...
"I just asked if you were doing ok..."
The green, holy leaves tucked back into her hair made him think of her like a seasonal ornament.
And less than a -
"You have been kind of quiet?"
Attempting a brave face, Simon gave an almost too wide Cheshire-cat style grin. 
"Moi? Fantastic! Couldn't be better! Only..."
Sprite leaned in.
Oh what the -
"I have been ignored, perhaps taken for granted lately. Suddenly someone new comes in all wonderful and I'm left out like an eight bit chicken leg."
The fairy nodded.
"Link uses those as bait sometime."
Simon exhaled.
"Not exactly what I had meant."
The firefly-like glow from within surged as she stood up taller. Which may have only been just over three inches but still...
"It's like all you do and you're just there, not important or feelings taken into consideration?"
The words confused him.
Although her tone comforted his being, though not entirely sure why.
Suddenly finding her staring into his face.
Just as surprising...Simon offered his left hand as a perch... which after almost no hesitation she accepted - and leaned over and kissed him!
Sharing the same said glow, covering him in a tender arch of affection.
Restoring his well being.
Knowing someTH-someone cared!
A few tears managed to escape which he blotted with the back of his other hand.
"Well that's one fortunate experience that wasn't foretold."
Sprite seated herself on his shoulder.
"What do you mean?"
"The nursemaid said I'd be kissed by a princess -- what's so funny?"
For she had dissolved into giggles.
"My father is KING of the fairies! Which makes me..."
A princess?!
Looking up and noting the mistletoe once again; Simon realized what you need - isn't always what you want.
Sometimes you gotta enjoy what you have.
"Simon?"
He gave another smile.
Smaller, though more genuine.
As was the shared intentions towards...
"Can I *thimble* you again?"  
Oh that...
"Sure."
The second kiss was so much more passionate and intense, that Simon's eyes had closed - to savor the sweet moment.
And opening them, he discovered she had grown to just about his shoulder length and...
"Did you have somewhere to be?" she whispered, almost hesitantly.  
"No -" he took her into his arms, gently though gallantly, sweeping her off her feet.
"But perhaps somewhere *we* could both recharge?"
Happy Unbirthday.
