Message: As everyone began to mingle and dance you stood off to the side, unsure of what to do. You don't know how to dance and even though your beauty outshines the most radiant of diamonds, you feel uncomfortable in these situations. You sigh feeling the pressure suddenly starting to feel like it could break you. Someone taps on your shoulder and you nearly jump out of your skin.
"Excuse me, Miss? Are you alright? You don't look like you're feeling well?" I very handsome and concerned gentleman questioned. He looked vaguely familiar to you but at the same time seemed a complete stranger. You smiled awkwardly at him and his expression softened.
"I'm fine," you lied. "I just, well, I can't dance. And I've never been one for these kinds of parties." You blushed and shuffled uneasily. You couldn't help but feel silly for saying it out loud. He chuckled softly which only reddened your face more.
"Well, that's alright. I don't mind, actually, I know how you feel. I don't care much for these parties either." His smile made you feel much better. He offered you his hand and you took it, letting him sweep you across the ballroom floor.
"You're quite good at this." This night was turning out better than you could have imagined.
"I've had plenty of practice. I had to learn how to dance at an early age, you know."
The song ended and he walked you through a set of beautiful double doors leading to the most beautiful garden you've ever seen. Down the path you saw a maze. "Catch me if you can," he whispered softly in your ear. "If you do, you will win a wonderful prize." He ran into the maze, leaving you standing there completely dumbfounded.
You quickly ran through the maze, hearing him laugh, you felt like a child again. Hide and seek had always been a favorite of yours. You finally made it to the center of the maze where the man stood in front of a rose bush. The roses were as white as the snow that sparkled on the ground and the twinkling lights made this place utterly enchanting. You ran up to him, completely out of breath with the most genuine smile that had ever graced your beautiful lips.
"If only for tonight, I want you to be my princess." He pulled you close as he plucked a rose from the bush. "For you, my dear." He kissed you on the cheek.
"I-I-" You started to stutter out the only thing that came to mind but he placed a finger to your lips and swept you into another dance. Your heart was racing a million miles a minute. Never in one hundred years would you have thought that someone like this existed. An unfamiliar feeling made butterflies flutter in your stomach and he suddenly stopped dancing. The bells rang out in the distance alerting all who listened that it was the midnight hour.
He smiled sadly at you this time and led you to a nearby bench, clearing away the snow that covered it. He placed a gentle kiss on your forehead and you suddenly felt very tired. "I'm sorry we didn't have much time, my love, perhaps, we will meet again... I will wait for you until then." His expression was utterly heart-wrenching but before you could say a word, a deep, dreamless sleep took hold of you.
You awoke to the sun peeking over the horizon. You wondered if it had all just been a dream but the coat draped over your shoulders assured you that it was not. A sad smile played at your lips as you realized you never asked his name. You stood up only to find a neatly wrapped gift box on the ground in front of you, a small handwritten card under the ribbon.
"If you wish to see me you will find me in your dreams, you need only to wish for it. Be well and don't ever think you are anything but beautiful."

It is the holidays & you are enjoying yourself with the gigantic snowball fight! Everyone is your foe as you lob the snow with haste & good aim. As if it was a beacon you see a large bright yellow star floating nearby. You stare at it for a few minutes before you realize it is a balloon with a present attached to it. You blink wondering if someone had tied the balloon & had forgotten about it. Until you see a tall young man with locks the color of chestnut & a wrench in his hand tromping in the snow. You throw a well-aimed snowball at his head. It makes it target & down he goes. You even knocked his goggles off his head. He does not move. Worriedly you make your way over to him as he slowly sits up. ''Who. . . th-threw that..?'' he asks looking up at you with ethereal teal eyes that seem to glow. You lie & say someone else did as you help him up, not wanting to make the young man angry. He then looks around frantically saying ''My-My present! Wh-Where did it go?! I-I tied a ba-balloon to it so I-I would not l-lose it & it-it floated away!'' Now you feel really bad. You tell the young man that you saw it & would go get it. You race after the gift as it floats down the snow covered park & you successfully grab it. You come back & give him back his gift. He smiles thanking you. You hear a friend yell your name & you turn to see them. As you turn back to the young man to bade him farewell you see he is gone. Yet he left a gift sitting where the man was standing covered in a crystalline dust. Its tag reads, ''I may not be able to fix my own heart, but I will fix yours.''

Message: Quietly walking down a beaten path in the snow you hear something in the distance...no it couldn't be....was that....a horse?....just then! it sounded like laughter....but there was nothing merry about this giggling. It was the sound of a demon. You started running on the uneven path yet tripped due to the uneven snow...it was coming closer and closer still...you scramble upwards trying to get away when SPLAT! a snowball hit you from behind, sending you face down in the snow once more.
You stay there a minute longer just to make sure the menace passed... As you get up you notice nothing more than a scraggly snow-soked object with a note reading "Mind your head"

A young girl named Lisa was often left alone at home because her parents worked late, so they bought her a dog to protect her and keep her company. One night Lisa was awakened by a constant dripping sound. She got up and went to the kitchen to turn off the tap properly. As she was getting back into the bed she stuck her hand under the bed and the dog licked it reassuringly.
The dripping sound continued, so she went to the bathroom and turned off the tap properly in there, too. She went back to her bedroom and again stuck her hand under the bed, and again the dog licked it. But the dripping continued, so she went outside and turned off the taps out there. She came back to bed, stuck her hand under it, and the dog licked it again.
Still the dripping continued, drip, drip, drip. This time she listened and located the source of the dripping &�� it was coming from her cupboard. She opened the cupboard door, and there was her dog hanging upside down with its neck cut, and written on the window on the inside of the cupboard door was, "HUMANS CAN LICK TOO!!!"

Message: The pale blue of your hair reminds me of the sky
For the sweetness of your smile makes my heart fly
You are far too lovely a lady to be as real as you seem
Surly you must be a goddess, or else a dream
Surely music was born to sing your praise
Poetry made to fit your beauty in a phrase
I supplicate myself before thee, to beg a favor
You see, with my name there has been another player
It seems he has visited you, your grace
And I know why, with one look of your face
I too, would tarry in your presence long
If I was not looking for where he has gone
But I must find this other that makes me two,
Do you know where this other Charming has got to?
