Wrote this story a few years back. just found it and thought it'd be fun to share :)
The Smile Procurator
Long, long ago, there used to be a Smile procurator. And he was in charge of all the Smiles. And there was a princess. She was the most beautiful princess, and kind. now, the Smile procurator was quite often stingy with the Smiles he allowed. If you appealed to him on a good day, he might grant you a twinkle in your eye, often a smirk, or maybe a glimmer of happiness, but rarely did he grant a Smile. But the Smile procurator had a secret: secretly, the only person he ever wanted to grant a smile was the beautiful princess. And while everyone went around the land frowning and glaring, the procurator occupied his time trying to give the princess one of his Smiles. But the princess would never have it. She want all around the gloomy land, doing kind deeds for those who were troubled (which was everyone). One day, the procurator designed a plan: whoever the princess came into contact with that day, he would later grant a Smile, just to see if the princess noticed. So, as the princess went around the land, helping one person and fixing another, the Smile procurator followed, granting Smiles to those she touched. And a wonderful thing happened: Wherever the princess went, Sunshine followed! And it lit up the whole land! It made it Brilliant and Bright! And as the princess turned around to look at those whom she had helped, She beheld the awe-struck Smile procurator, who up to this point had not realized the special power of what he could do. And the pincess said to the Smile procurator: "What beauty! You see what my kindness and your Smiles have done for the kingdom! Smile procurator, you're the only one who can make me Smile!" So she married him and they had beautiful, smiling babies and lived forever in Happiness.
The End.
(ps. he played the guitar for her and sang her to sleep and told her how beautiful she was.)
Always.
