The Curse of the Vietnamese Lunch Buffet (Raquel)
Once upon a time there was a not-a-princess who lived in a not-a-castle. She lived in this not-a-castle with her sister, brother-in-law and five neices and nephews until they decided to move out of their not-a-castle into something-resembling-a-mansion right smack in the middle of the city.
The not-a-princess wasn’t quite sure about living in the city, mostly because the city was rumoured to contain many of that dread species–PEOPLE. She agreed that the something-resembling-a-mansion was much to be prefered over the not-a-castle, and she was pleased to moving closer to some non-people she liked rather well, but over the city was a disconcerting place to live.
One of her consolations in all of this was the nearby Vietnamese Lunch Buffet. A city which contained such a sterling lunch buffet couldn’t be all bad, and as it was very close indeed to the something-resembling-a-mansion she would surely be able to visit it often.
 Alas, it was not to be, for some sinister force had laid a curse upon her that she would never quite make it to the lunch buffet, perhaps in hopes that she would reject the city altogether.
As time passed she began to grow fond of the city in spite of the Curse of the Vietnamese Lunch Buffet, and even to think of the city as ‘home’. Still, she hoped for the day when the Curse of the Vietnamese Lunch Buffet would be broken forever.
 One fine day another not-a-princess in the city suggested a daring plan to break the Curse of the Vietnamese Lunch Buffet. It was not so very different from their plans of before, being something along the lines of, “Hey, I’m going to be out tomorrow, maybe I could pick you up and we could try to go to that lunch buffet again.” Our not-a-princess was skeptical of success, but she agreed to the plan.
 The next day they stormed the lunch buffet, disguised as two not-peasants. In the end, the sinister curse could not stand before their determination. As the steaming egg rolls and curry hit their plates, the curse shattered into a thousand pieces, never to return. And they all lived happily ever after.
The EndÂ
But what about the eggs rolls and crab rangoon? Did they live happily ever after? Did you even consider the fact that they had to give their lives so you could have your happy ending? ;o)
Why, yes Adiel, I have thought of that. Mmmmmm, egg rolls.
