Thus, four Youngs (Sakura, Russelle, Claude, and René) then came forth, bringing the tale to life and refixed their messed up history.

A folksy love story about the moon. I wrote this short story for my partner. She has a tattoo of a crescent moon on her arm. It is inspired by her, folk tales with an embedded life lesson, and a recent trip I took to Hawai'i. The main character is named after my partner, Melissa. The name comes from the Greek word μέλισσα (mélissa) which translates to "bee", which in turn comes from the Greek word μέλι (meli), which translates to "honey." The name Kalai'o is fictional, but inspired by names I heard across Hawai'i. I love the simplicity of their alphabet and their use of apostrophes in names.

Mariposa or "Mari" was an average young adult woman who enjoyed a good story. Especially if it was interesting, and had a happy ending to it of course. One day she stumbles upon the anime Romeo x Juliet. Despite hearing that the original theatrical play was a tragedy, seeing how much the animated series changed the original plot of one of Shakespeare's masterpieces. Mari assumed it would end with a happy ending... However, sadly all of her hopes were dashed when the series ended in tragedy. Romeo sacrifices himself for Juliet, and Juliet sacrifices her life to the Great Tree Escalus to save the people of Neo Verona. Mari was enraged, and crestfallen at this yet at the same time she knew it was selfish to think that Juliet and her lover Romeo did not deserve a fate like that, and yet she didn't want the people of the floating continent to suffer a doomed fate either. "Oh, if only there was a way I could change things," Mari thought. "Then Maybe... Just maybe the story itself would turn out differently, and the possibility of getting Romeo, Juliet, and everyone else a miraculous happy ending... I would give my life for that." Little did Mari know that this very kindhearted, and unselfish certain wish of hers was heard, and granted. Sooner or later after watching, and rewatching this anime series multiple times... Somewhere on the way, Mari gets into an automobile accident and dies. Right after her death, Mari soon gets reincarnated in the world of Romeo x Juliet. Now that she is here in this new world she may as well act, and take action. Will Mari be able to rewrite the stars and change not just Romeo and Juliet's fate, but the whole continent itself? Let's find out.
