One upon a time, there was a simple prince living in a small secluded forest town. This prince wasn't fancy like all the other princes. In fact, hardly anybody knew he was even a prince... but that's the way he liked it. This prince didn't really like lots of people knowing about him, so he often kept to himself.
As much as the prince liked being on his own, he always felt like something was missing; a companion for his travels and adventures. The prince couldn't have just anybody accompany him though; he needed someone to spend time with. So he went on a new adventure to find a proper companion.
He found many possible companions, but an overwhelming majority of them were unable to hold a conversation with him. That was a pretty important thing in a companion, so none of them were considered. They could be found everywhere. There were so many of them that it was difficult to find what he was looking for. So the prince went to a wizard who sold him a potion that would filter out all those people who wouldn't make a good companion.
The prince decided to go back to his adventure. He went to a clearing in the forest town to enjoy some sunlight. He drank the potion and was amazed to see his vision much clearer. His vision became so clear that he was able to see right through everyone to the beautiful princess of the secluded forest town. The prince had seen her before and thought that she was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen, but he knew that she had many friends and not much free time.
The prince wasn't very good at coming up with ideas for things to do that weren't creative or that used a lot of thought, and he knew that people who were always busy tended to not like doing creative things or thinking too much all the time. So he wasn't very sure about the princess... why would the potion reveal to him someone who was always busy with other people? That seemed like an odd choice for a companion.
But the prince believed in the potion and decided he would try to get the beautiful princess's attention. He tried and tried, but she always seemed to be busy. Sometimes she wouldn't be busy and would notice him. She would make plans with him to spend time with him and get to know each other... but then their plans would be cut short or changed because she would be too tired.
The hardest part was when the princess would tell him she wanted someone to spend time with; that she liked people who wanted to spend time with her... the more, the better. But then she would tell him to go do things on his own without her. So the prince was sad that he was unable to spend more time with the fantastic princess. He would keep trying, even though she was so busy... and one day... everything would change.
