Once Upon a Tetris

Once upon a time, in the kingdom of Rexburg, Idaho there was a castle called Kensington 105, where three beautiful princesses lived, named Allison, Kandace and Krista (actually there were six beautiful princesses, but they were more productive than these three, and therefore have much more exciting tales to tell of this time in their lives.)


One day, the handsome Prince Spooner came by and introduced the three princesses to the magical world of Tetris Battle. They challenged each other long into the night and fell deeper and deeper in love with the game, until it became a slight obsession. (Thanks a lot Prince Spooner!)


Princess Allison, who was originally first place of the four, quickly lost her ranking to Princess Kandace and Krista. Discouraged by their success, Allison let the game fade from her life and slowly re-entered the not-so-magical (but much more real) world.



Finally the day came for Princess Allison to move out of Kensington Castle to a new kingdom called Logan, Utah. One day as Allison sat at Maple Valley Castle, getting updated on the activities of her kingdom via Facebook, she noticed a small button that had been tucked to the side, quite unused for some time. The button was pushed and Allison found herself back in the magical land of Tetris! She had almost forgotten the excitement and thrill of the game!



Princess Allison is a kind hearted Princess who is always thinking of others  :)  so, naturally, she shared her re-discovery with the Princess' Katelyn and Brittany (The other princesses of Maple Valley) It soon became a castle affair, and the princesses spent much time exploring the land of Tetris.  They now play Tetris Marathon along with Tetris Battle. These princesses believe that all Tetris was created equal and should be treated as such.

In true princess fashion, Allison is still wearing the exact same clothes and the exact same hair almost a year later (no, this was not planned)

Princess Allison worked hard. She made it to Level 12 on Tetris Marathon, and the three princesses rejoiced in her accomplishment. Tetris Battle was a bit more difficult. Finally, the day came that she made it to level 18 on Tetris Battle! The three princesses celebrated her success, but it was not meant to be. Suddenly, she was dropped back down to Level 1! The injustice of the act was appalling! Allison had been so good to Tetris, and without so much as an explanation, she was back at the beginning! 

Princess Allison is much better than this Google image

Not to be beaten, Princess Allison began working her way back up. She made it, undefeated, to Level 10, but alas, that was all she could do. For, at that moment she ran out of energy and was kicked out of the magical land of Tetris.


The moral of the story:
Princesses should stay in the real world and find better things to do with their time.

Unfortunately, morals are too often ignored....
