When I first met Princess Heart I was walking through the halls of the Royal Palace and I wasn't really all there, though I'm never really all there... Anyway I was thinking about the news is heard about the Jabberwoky. It had been predicted that it would strike back in 15-20 years but most people thought the man who came up with this conclusion was mad as a hatter! And most of the people who believed him were crazy. So I was walking through the halls when I walked into her, literally! "Oh sorry!" she said, and her voice was beautiful.

"Princess!" I said. "Forgive me I did not mean to walk into you! Please don't have me hung!"at this point I was on the floor at her feet begging her to spare my life.

"Oh get up!" she said with a smile. "Why would I have you executed for something that was my fault." I look back on this sentence and think to myself 'Ha! the irony!'

"I...I, well..." I stuttered trying to find some words, although my lisp didn't help as you could imagine.

"Never mind." She said. "I would imagine you're here for my parents hatter interview?" She said. I was about to say something but then I just decided to nod instead of having another speech impediment incident so I just nodded.

"Are you sure? You seem to be very intelligent and I've heard some real horror stories about what that mercury dose to your head!"

"I... I'm sure. I'm not very smart anyway. It won't be a loss. I left school at a young age. I was to lonely. I... I almost took my own life, because of it." Is said rather awkwardly.

"Oh. I'm very sorry." she replied sympathetically.

"D...d... don't worry about it." At this point I was lost in her beautiful eyes.

"Um... would you like me to take you to the interview room?" she said to break the tension.

"Y...y...y... yes please." I was so embarrassed that I couldn't even talk to her. She must've thought I was mad!

"Come on. I'll take you there." She said, and off we went.
