Once Upon A Saturday

Once upon a Saturday in the enchanted city of Calgary, there was a fairy princess named Miko. About two weeks ago, the fairy princess went on a great camping adventure with her friend SP45 and his fair maiden R. During this great camping adventure the Fairy Princess lost her mother’s earring while bartering in the local supermarket in Bragg Creek. Her earring had been found and she was to retrieve it.

The following weekend the fairy princess was about to embark on a great road trip with the hopes of retrieving the coveted earring. A task so monotonous she dare not embark on it alone. Miko called upon her friends, The Grumpy Giant, and her Hand Maiden Serena, the champion of justice and who in the name of the moon would triumph over evil! (All done in her spare time of course!)

It was mid afternoon when the two friends arrived at the Princess’s castle and soon after, the three were ready to embark on their great journey. The three climbed into the mighty Acura and began driving into the great abyss. After a significant (but not long) period of time the three reached their destination – Bragg Creek! A land filled with breathtaking scenery, stores that were very charming, but also very over priced, and the washed up boy bad The Moffats. (Their career went Bang Bang Boom back in 2001. Oh who am I kidding it was way before then!)

The three arrived at their destination, the supermarket. Miko talked to a manager about the coveted earring. And, after a few minutes, the Fairy Princess had the beloved stud back in her possession! Filled with happiness and relief, she thanked the manager several times, and before leaving was given the title of “the earring girl.” The Hand Maiden Serena announced it shall be her title forever more!

The three will leave the supermarket and begin their next journey, the search for pie! However, the journey would be unsuccessful as the pie shop that, according to the Grumpy Giant, was so amazing seemed to have gone out of business. Instead the three got back into the car and drove back to the enchanted city in the hopes of making it to the magical bakery of Crave before it closed. However, no such luck.

The Hand Maiden was starved and deeply saddened by the lack of cupcakes that she possessed. However, her spirits soon rose when she discovered a coffee shop that sold Nutella lates. The nutella goodness made the Maiden’s day!

After making a short stop in the toy store the three returned to the car and began driving back to the Princess’s castle where they would partake in the great feast of BBQ pizza prepared by His Royal Highness – Miko’s Dad! Before arriving, The Princess and her Hand Maiden would put in the Soundtrack to the Musical Rent (The Broadway version!) and began singing the spiteful lyrics to the memorable so Take Me or Leave Me. The Grumpy Giant will begin making “Kill me now” gestures to other drivers when they are stopped at red lights. This will not deter the duo from singing to their hearts content.

After the meal, content and full, the three decided to see a show. Upon entering the Movie Dome, Miko realized why she tries to avoid the North East as much as possible.
