You were in a horrible mood...The usual way you went to work was closed so you had to head through Times Square to get to your office.

It was a horrible day. Hot, tourists everywhere, tons of work waiting for you at your job...And you'd recently split up with a long time boyfriend...You're life was pretty miserable.

As a child you had big hopes and dreams for your life once you were grown up. You read all the fairytale books and watched all the animated movies. You thought surely you'd grow up to be a beautiful princess and daring handsome prince with blue eyes a silver sword and a white horse would adore you.

But no...You were in crowded New York. With a monotonous business job, freshly single and in sweaty jeans...

You awkwardly shuffle around some people trying to check a text you just got from your boss and keep walking at the same time...You're so preoccupied you didn't even notice that you're technically in a construction site for a manhole...And then the floor gives out from under you.

The world flashes dark and bright as you realize that you're falling...This must be it. You think. This is really how you die? With none of your childhood dreams fulfilled? Alone and unhappy? You scream and close your eyes and brace for a painful fall...

When suddenly the world goes soft...cool...brighter...And you realize you aren't falling at all but floating through clean sweet vibrant blue water...You swim up and the world is a dream...

Technicolor stylized beauty...Blooming trees, twittering blue birds, a beautiful marble castle looking down at you. A beautiful blue sky, pretty fountains and rose bushes around. The air cool and sweet...Like an animated fairytale...and a man staring down at you surprised...

He's handsome...Heartachingly handsome. Not New York man handsome...Not restrained by modern fashions or styles...He's classic. Fantastical. His eyes are a bright sapphire color, his hair is a rich chocolate brown color very full and glossy and worn longer than any modern man would have his, he's tanned and tall and has a toned but not overly muscular body. He's dressed in red velvet and black leather, a silver rapier on his belt...He looks like a prince!

He gasps and is immediately offering a hand to you, concerned about you being in the water. "Princess! Fair maiden! What are you doing in the Castle Wishing Well? Are you from another realm? You're beautiful! Are you harmed?" He asks, pulling you out looking at you very concernedly and curiously his eyes sparkling.
