Welcome to Gaia! ::

There once was a well known king..
He had ruled wisely over his kingdom for many years.
However, the time had come for his son the prince to prepare for his reign.
However, the prince was more interested in skateboarding than learning to rule.
So, the king had to devise a plan to interest his son in taking over the throne.

The King called in his advisers to a meeting about this.

Gregory, the most ruthless and lazy adviser said, "Let's hypnotize him while he sleeps. Clean and fail-proof."

Jonathan, largely considered the stupidest of the advisers, had this to say: 'Just put a ban on skateboards! Then, with his interest unavailable, he will take more interest in being a leader!' "

Maxwell, the most free-thinking of the advisors, suggested making skateboarding the national sport, primary method of conflict resolution, and weapon of choice in wars.

Percy, the most intelligent of the advisors, suggested "Let's find him a girlfriend. The right princess could distract him from this skateboarding, and encourage him to take an interest in more important matters."

Having listened to the suggestions from his advisors and worked out the the possible problems of each plan, the king called an end to the meeting and decided that he would decide which one to use early the morning.

The next morning the king awoke, and announced his decision.

No one was surprised, since it was well known that the king was a hopeless romantic, who believed in things like "true love" and "happy endings". Even the loss of his beloved queen had not changed him in this.

At the same time the counsellors were meeting with the king, the prince was meeting a group of friends, skaters all.

They were, in fact, having their fifth bi-weekly unofficial Skate-Off(tm) Challenge, and the prince was currently in the lead by five points. The competition was indeed tough, though.

The prince's best friend, George, had just performed an amzing feat when another skater arrived.
"I can do that too", said a voice behind them. They all turned and stared.

And thus ended Chapter One of the tale of The Prince who Thought he Could Ride a Skateboard Instead of Lead. Look for Chapter Two after a word from our sponsor!

And now, Back to the story!

A girl stood before them, skateboard in hand and a small smirk on her face.
(( nawh, I love it actually xD ))

A girl stood before them, skateboard in hand and a small smirk on her face. None of them had ever seen a girl like this. Her dark hair was short and straight, she was wearing boy's trousers and a baggy sweatshirt, and had a large scab on her right knee.

Because nobody had ever entered a competition like this before, let alone a girl, the prince quickly discussed it with his friends, and they decided she could compete on two conditions: if she proved that she could skate, and if she explained why she hadn't registered like she should have.

Chapter 2


A girl stood before them, skateboard in hand and a small smirk on her face. None of them had ever seen a girl like this. Her dark hair was short and straight, she was wearing boy's trousers and a baggy sweatshirt, and had a large scab on her right knee.

Because nobody had ever entered a competition like this before, let alone a girl, the prince quickly discussed it with his friends, and they decided she could compete on two conditions: if she proved that she could skate, and if she explained why she hadn't registered like she should have.

The prince thought for a moment and then, before she was to prove herself worthy, asked, " What is your name?"

"I'm Carly", she replied. "Who are you?"

"My name's Morgan", answered the prince. "You must be new here?"

"Yeah, my family just moved here. I'm from Westwood, and I was the best skater there!"

"Okay, let's see what you can do" challenged George.

None of them had ever even heard of a girl skater before. They all expected her to be pathetic.
