As requested by xXxblacklilyxXx, I will add a little recap at the start of each chapter so people don't get lost in the mysteries of this long story.

The origins of baby Mystery are still unknown, but the situation has become more complicated now that more pieces of the puzzle have begun to move. Perhaps Neuro's plan to surround Yako with attention to draw them out has worked, but he might have gotten more than he expected. After Quemar's attempt at Yako's life failed, he fled, leaving Neuro to question his presence after he heard about the incident from Yako. The reason for Quemar's retreat was the arrival of a silver haired man, who gave Yako a cookie, which transformed her into a toddler left at Neuro's care.

A Push in the Right Direction

Mystery 22: Happily Ever After

"Shut up and let me finish the story!" Neuro's order finally silenced Yako. "Yako looked like she was dead, but she was actually in a deep sleep and she came be known throughout the kingdom as the noisy sleeping ugliness, because she was so hideous and snored very loudly. The royal knights tried to quiet her snoring by throwing her in a deep hole and burying her, but somehow it could still be heard, so they dug her out, cleaned her up and put her on display in the last room of a horror house, so she would scare the tourists and be profitable to the kingdom. The bad news was that the kingdom's people couldn't sleep at all because of Yako's loud snores, so they became very tired, cranky and clumsy, plus the neighboring kingdoms were starting to complain as well."

"The handsome prince became curious about who caused the spell that threw Yako into such a deep slumber. He knew it was related to the glass slippers and set off to find out who gave her those slippers. He first went to see her sisters Akane and Kanae, who told him of Yako's yakuza godfather, so the prince went to investigate him."

"'It wasn't me, I didn't give her any slippers, I only threatened to kill a tailor that owed me money to make a dress and mask for her. She must have gotten those slippers from her sisters,' after listening to Godai's testimony, the handsome prince returned to speak to the sisters once more."

"The prince spoke of his suspicions that the sisters were to blame for the curse upon Yako, in revenge for the great debt that she inflicted on the family, due to the cost of all the food she ate. Then Kanae was quick to explain, 'Yako's appetite isn't so bad because she always goes out to the woods and feeds on nuts and berries, or at least that's what she tells us.' The quiet Akane only flipped her shiny long black hair in agreement. After hearing of this new clue, the prince went to investigate in the woods."

"In the woods, the prince found a strange shape-shifting silver wolf, who looked very frightened, 'she's not coming is she? If you see her, don't tell her where I am, I beg of you, oh superior prince, please spare this weak unworthy creature!'"

"The prince assumed the silver wolf was talking about Yako, 'you mean Yako, don't you? Why are you so afraid of her?'"

"The silver wolf then transformed into a boy, 'I have the power to change my shape and for that reason the mean Yako keeps trying to force me to transform into a giant cookie so she can devour me! If not because the wizard feeds her every day, she would have already eaten me, even if I refused to transform.'"

"The prince felt that he was getting closer to uncovering the mystery, 'where is this wizard you speak of?'"

"'The wizard lives deep in the woods and spends all his time baking houses, cars, airplanes and giant robots made of gingerbread with chocolate chips, marshmallows all sorts of delicious sweets,' the wolf revealed. Thus the prince went to find the wizard."

"The prince found wizard Ishigaki looking proudly at his collection of gingerbread structures. 'Hello visitor!' The wizard greeted, 'Do you like my collection? It's been a long time since that bottomless pit Yako has been here to eat my precious collection. Wait a minute, I know you, you're the prince! My best friend works as a palace guard, his name is Sasazuka, how is he?'"

"'Yako ate him,' the prince revealed."

"The wizard cried and mourned while muttering, 'what a mean girl that Yako is, even after I sent her those glass slippers in the mail to try to calm her violet spirit, so she would stop picking on me and eating my gingerbread models.'"

"The prince knew that though this wizard sent the glass slippers in the mail, he couldn't be the culprit because even if he was called a wizard, he only knew how to bake and was too stupid to cast real spells, so the prince asked, 'where did you get those slippers?'"

"'I got them when I was sight seeing in Oz, you can get there by following the yellow brick road. It's a wonderful place and there are many statues and paintings of Kishi the dragon in the castle. I even bought a special tie for my senpai there, but now he has been cruelly devoured!' Ishigaki cried."

"Leaving the inept wizard to mourn his loss, the prince set out on a journey following the yellow brick road. On his way, he found a little boy and asked where he was going, then the boy replied, 'I'm going to see the wizard of Oz to ask for a new name, because I am named after the most delicious food, Mystery. That might catch the attention of the legendary bottomless pit Yako, and I don't want to be eaten.'"

"'Come with me and we'll both go see the wizard of Oz,' the prince offered and they both went on their way."

"Finally, they arrived at the Oz castle, they forced their way in and ran to the Kishi souvenir shop, where the wizard of Oz was. 'Wizard of Oz, the culprit is... you!' The prince accused, 'The wizard Ishigaki came here looking for gifts for his friends and when he told you of Yako, you sold him cursed glass slippers that would release their magic when they come in contact with blood. Those slippers put Yako in a deep sleep after she injured her feet with them and her snoring is disturbing my kingdom!'"

"'You're right, prince, it was me,' the wizard of Ox came out of a Kishi robot to reveal that she was actually the witch of Oz and her true form was a shiny bug. 'I did all this and the reason is because I'm a pixie and pixies are a nuisance that do nothing but cause trouble!'"

"The prince considered eating the mystery, but decided against it, because only the bottomless pit Yako would eat a bug. Instead, he captured the witch of Oz and forced her to tell him how to break the spell on Yako, then he squished her under his boot after obtaining the needed information."

"The prince, the boy who was named after food and the captive shiny bug returned to the prince's kingdom. Before the prince woke Yako, Mystery said, 'I could not get a new name, what if the bottomless pit wakes up and tries to eat me?'"

"The prince had an idea, 'don't worry, since you are all alone, you can stay here in the palace. When Yako wakes up, I will tell her you are our child whom she gave birth to in her sleep; she wouldn't dare devour you if she thinks you are her own son.' Then the prince broke the spell and woke Yako by twisting her neck around three times and snapping his fingers."

"Yako woke up and there was once again silence in the land. She believed Mystery was her child and was very happy, but she was also very hungry and devoured all the neighboring kingdoms, allowing the prince to conquer those lands. Yako swore she would live to serve the prince as his loyal slave and ate all those who dared to oppose him... and they lived happily ever after."

Little Yako clapped and cheered, this new ending was to her liking. Mystery joined the approval too, the two children were having fun, but Neuro only wished he could consume this mystery as soon as possible. He glanced in Akane's direction and muttered, "not a word of this to slave number two."

To be Continued

Disclaimer, I don't own Neuro, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Little Red Ridinghood, Hansel and Gretel or Wizard of Oz. I'm sure you must have all noticed this, but the silver shape-shifting wolf was Sai and the prince was Neuro. XD

I'm getting ahead writing this story so I'll most likely make regular updates for a while. Don't stop reviewing, continue giving me ideas for future chapters, though it will be longer before your requested scenes appear on the story since the next few chapters are already written, food for the plot bunnies is still very needed and appreciated. I'm really enjoying reading everyone theories about the future of this story, keep them coming!

To give you a hint without spoiling anything, the future of this story will bring comedy, fluff, drama, more of Godai and the long awaited arrival of Higushi. Of course the main focus will still be Yako and Neuro.
