Princess Bride Part I (I don't want to carry on for too long)
...There never was a truer, unrequited love then that of the beautiful Buttercup and her fair Westley...
Now, this was a time before Europe and after Germany, Italy and all those other countries were formed. But thats the the setting of our scene. Our settings lie in the small country named Florin.
There was a girl named Buttercup, who would always ride her horse. As she grew, so did her beauty. But, she never seem to realized how the men gawked at her. All she did was ride her horse and bossed the farm boy around. She'd call "Farmboy, clean my horse!" or "Farmboy, fetch me that!" and the Farmboy would only reply "As you wish." "As you wish."
It wasn't till this particular day when the Count Rugen came with is wife the courtess. The courtess as one knew was very lavious and had good sense of fashion. When she caught glimpse of the farmboy she turned on her flirtatious charm. This, Buttercup noticed right away. She didn't know what was it then.
Not until at night she realized she was jealous. Jealous our the courtess and how she looked at the farmboy, Westley. Then, it hit her, she was in love with Westley. As she was a very frank person, she marched up to Westley's hut and said "I love you Westley, I didn't know when it happened, but I love you. I love you more this minute than I did 20 minutes ago. And I think I love you more with every minute pass. I love you I love you I love dear Westley." But all the farmboy did was slam the door infront of her face.
She began to cry. She turned and ran, stumbled, cried and continued to run. She went into her room and continued to cry until she could cry no more.
At night, a knocking sound was upon Buttercup's door. She asked "Who is it?".
"It is I."
"Westley?"
"yes"
Buttercup flung opened the door. "What I told you then, it was a lie. I was lying to you."
"I am going to leave for America tonight." Westley said.
"Tonight? Did I frightened you to make you leave? I didn't mean it. Are you in love with the courtess. Oh, you must be thats why you're leaving." Buttercup said.
"I am going to make money, work several job and call for my wife." Westley continued.
"So, you are going to call for the courtess, well, she won't be able to stand living in America. She'll leave you." Buttercup raged back.
"I am not talking about the courtess!" Westley talked back.
"Then you love me?" Buttercup said.
"If your love was the sand, then my love is the universe. Will you wait for me?" Westley replied.
"Yes, I shall love no one else besides you my Westley." Buttercup replied.
"That is enough. I shall call for you as soon as possible." Westley replied. And he turned and began to walk.
"Not even a kiss?" buttercup said. And they kissed and Westley was off.
Buttercup now started to groom herself to look beautiful for Westley. She did all the chores in the house. And read that Westley has sent, and write to him.
Sometime later news came. "Buttercup come quickly!" his father called. "We have some bad news, the dread Pirate Roberts has taken the ship Westley was on." his mother finished. "The same dread Pirate Roberts that takes no hostage?" Buttercup hissed. "The same." His father replied.
"Oh no, Westley's dead! My love is dead. I shall never love again." Buttercup wept.
