Minako, Minako, Let your hair down!

Once upon a time in a far away kingdom lived a lively little teenager bearing the name of Minako. Minako was the town sweetheat. Everybody loved her, despite her lack of intellect. Minako's parents treated her like a queen, bowing to her every desire. Minako loved her parents dearly and treated them just as fairly.

As the years drew on and the days grew dreary, Minako's family grew very poor. Times had moved on, people no longer gave out money just for being sweet. The family was forced to live on scraps. A bug here, a dandilion there....that was all their little budget could withstand.

Next door Minako's father noticed a ripe, fresh garden springing forth. There were tall, winding stalks of corn, freashly sprouting green beans. Then he spotted it, Minako's favorite, twinkleberries. One little twinkleberry for Minako wouldn't hurt. So,he climbed the fence into her neighbor, Ms. Beryl's, yard. He plucked one little twinkleberry, but one twinkleberry hardly seemed worth the effort. He started grabbing everything he could find and stuffing them into his pockets. He didn't even notice the figure in the corner watching his every move.

When his pockets could bear no more, Minako's father began to leave. Suddenly, with a shudder and a zap he sprung to the ground. Ms. Beryl stood towering in frount of him.

"Well, well, if it isn't dear little Minako's Dad, all dressed up and carrying MY crops!" She cackled, "for this you will pay!"

Minako's Father looked around in fear. "W-w-w-what do you want?" he studdered.

"I vant, I vant, I vant to have your first child, Minako to raise as my own."

Minako's dad shook. "No, no, no....."

But it was too late, Beryl had made up her mind, Minako was hers. Before she even knew what was going on, Minako was swept away into a tower in a far away land.

Minako was soooo sad, soooo very, very,very sad. She desperately missed her parental units and this witch was not as nice as she looked. Then, one day Minako realized that the tower she was being held captive in was made out of a giant twinkleberry. She thought this was ironic becuase if it had not been for her love of twinkleberries she wouldn't be in a twinkleberry at this very instant. Yet, she loved twinkle berries, and became delirously happy living inside of one. (She was indeed clueless to the fact that just a little chomping on the twinkleberry and she would be home free)

So, there Minako sat in a twinkleberry every day, for many, many long and drooly years. She wasn't so happy about the twinkleberry anymore, it was growing rather old and moldy and no longer kept her content.

One day her miserable life was changed forever when the king's body guard, Malachite, was romping through the forest on his donkey. (can you imagine Malachite on a donkey...real cute) Anyway Malachite noticed a giant twinkleberry along the way.

He stood for a minute thinking thoughtfully when he decided to walk up to the twinkleberry. Then, for no apparent reason, he shouted "Minako, Minako, let your hair down."

Now, Minako was extremely bored and hearing a new voice she decided to obey the request. Yet, her hair was not long enough to reach the studly body guard waiting below. So...she decide to run to her favorite hair salon, Slick Chicks, for some hair extentions and maybe a wig or two. Slick Chicks was now the most popular place in the country, since the last Negaverse incident it had never been quite the same. This was the same place where Malachite had his hair dyed daily. Yet, he just couldn't get rid of the pesky roots!

So, as the story goes Minako came back to the twinkleberry (not realizing that magically she had easily escaped it in order to go to Slick Chicks) and let her hair down for her dear Malachite.

He climbed up her hair, but after several attempts to beat the big meany, Queen Beryl, he failed. Then it was Minako's turn. She found out her secret identity was Sailor Venus and quickly performed her impressive "Venus Crescent Beam Smash!" That was the end of evil Queen Beryl. Malachite and Minako/Sailor Venus went away to live happily ever after in Paradise (or a giant twinkleberry.....same dif)

*In real Sailor Moon Malachite and Sailor Venus were lovers before our dear friend Queen Beryl thought Malachite looked better evil and brainwashed him- quite a bit like her little brainwashing of Tuxedo Mask* The moral of this story is....Starkle Starkle Little Twinkleberry. Have fun and enjoy the sparking apple pasta!
