Gold digger

So I was going through the files on my old computer, the other day, when I stumbled upon the file 'Gold digger'. This made me so happy, as I thought I had lost it. I opened up the file and started reading the fairy tale I had to write for English class all those years ago. I remember being overly excited about this project. Then again, I've always enjoyed writing assignments. I sometimes wonder if I am the only person who actually likes to do those. I remember having a hard time coming up with a coherent story. The feedback my mum gave me was invaluable, as my lack of creativity was getting me nowhere. Naming the characters also turned out to be difficult. At the time, I was fascinated by names and their meanings and I wanted the names to reflect the personalities of the characters or the role of said characters in the story. So much time went into naming the characters (except for Serenity's. I named her Serenity because Serenity was my favourite character on Yu-Gi-Oh!). This reminds me of The Sims. Before I start playing the actual game, I will spend up to an hour or two customising my character (I'm not even talking about naming it). All in all, I remember having a lot of fun writing 'Gold digger'. Younger me was pleased with the outcome and I still like to visit the story from time to time. 

Yours faithfully,

Morgana

Gold digger

Once upon a time a poor girl was born to Abrianna and Galahad, two hardworking parents. The name of this girl was Serenity. She lived in a small house with her parents and her younger siblings: Grace and Madison.

For her, this wasn’t an obstacle to reach the top of her school career. At the age of 18, she walked through the hallway of Fionn University, where she met Prince Brendon. They both knew it was love at first sight.

After two years, Prince Brendon announced their marriage. But not everybody was enthusiastic about this... Both Brendon’s father King Ubel and Glenda, Brendon’s stepmother, had their own reason why this marriage should be sabotaged. Glenda didn’t want Brendon to have joy and happiness in his life. She was afraid that history might repeat itself. Glenda envied Jacqueline, Brendon’s biological mother, because of her popularity among the crowd. She saw taking away Brendon’s source of happiness as revenge. Glenda couldn’t bear it if Serenity received the same attention as Jacqueline did. On the other side, Ubel would be ashamed if his son married a girl, hailed from the working-class. So they decided to combine their powers and make everybody hate Serenity, including Brendon.

Serenity was very unhappy. She was disappointed in Brendon. One night, when Brendon was asleep, his mother Jacqueline appeared in his dream. ‘You should remain strong! Don’t listen to the haters. Follow your happiness and reach your prosperity.’ She said. When he woke up, his eyes were shining. He knew apologizing to Serenity was the right thing to do. To make sure Serenity would believe him, he made the announcement on live television. Serenity accepted the apology. 

A few days later, Serenity was trying on her wedding gown.

No matter how hard the drawbacks were, their genuine love conquered everything. The digging was finally over. Both Serenity and Brendon found their real gold. And they lived happily ever after.
