F Once upon a time there was a divided kingdom which was brought together by the hierarchy. And it was good. It was in the year of nineteen hundred and eighty-two when twelve knights in their shiny blue tuxes escorted their lovely, fair maidens before the assembled village folk. One knight. Richard Benham, who was injured in contest, awkwardly hobbled down the procession and took a stilted bow before his lordship. After all the king’s ladies and all the king’s men had taken their seats, the tension began to build. Returning Queen Chapman commenced to choose the new reigning king. The excitement grew, and grew, and grew. Then at once the queen’sgaze fell up on Noble Gammello and due to her delight in him, he was crowned king. continued on next page antasies l 16 HOMECOMING

“My first thoughts were: Oh my gosh! No way is this happening!” -Stephanie Nicoloff, Homecoming Queen Without further adieu. King Nicholas went on an adventure to find his queen. When he came across a certain fair young maiden, he knew she was the one. Lady Stephanie Nicoloff was her name. Now the village people could sleep at night knowing that their king and queen were watching and reigning over them. Later that week, the village celebrated their 13-0 victory in contest and all their good fortune. The townsfolk showed up in all their most gala garb and danced, and celebrated until the late hours of the night. Some traveling minstrels named Caribou provided the people with magical fantasy music. Once the villagers had completed their ritual, they retired to their homes, but their sugar-plumb memories continued to dance. HOMECOMING 17
