The Lovers' Leap Story

So when Whaleton, the gang and I went to Lovers' Leap we asked my mom about that name and she said that she didn't know where the name came from and it was probably just a random name that they choose to fit the place. So we decided it need a backstory. So here is my completely random and made up story.

(Please Note: no teacup pigs were harmed the making of this story.)

   Once Upon A Time... in a little town called Waco, there were two pig farms, Cherries and Almonds. Pig farms for Unusually Miniscule and Petite Animals (known at this time as UMPA pigs) to be more specific. As is usually the case, the owners of the farms were sworn enemies and all that. But there is a little more backstory. You see the owner of the Cherries farm, Eliza, loved cherries and only fed her UMPA pigs cherries and the owner of the Almond farm, Jacob, loved almonds and only fed his UMPA pigs almonds. This would have been all fine and dandy, but Eliza hated almonds and Jacob hated cherries. So they were constantly at war with each other.

   Well the two farms were in fairly close proximity, on account of only needing a little room to raise UMPA pigs, and so Eliza and Jacob saw each other everyday when they went out to get their mail. And everyday they brought their number one cutest UMPA pig. In Eliza's case it was Cherryblossom and in Jacob's it was Darcy.

   After a few years of this going on Cherryblossom and Darcy fell in love. No reason why or long backstory of their compatibility and romantic exploits, sometimes love just happens when you least expect it. They use to meet at this cliff that overlooked a river and just sit in the sun and watch the river, never talking or saying anything (because they're PIGS for God's sake. This isn't freaking Narnia.)

   One day, while they were looking over the cliff, their owners went looking for them. Cherryblossom and Darcy heard them coming and looking over their shoulders (with much difficulty because again...THEY ARE PIGS) they saw their owners coming straight for them! Knowing that if they got caught they would never see each other again, they looked at each other and immediately knew what to do (I think you can tell where this is going...)

  With one last look, they jumped over the side of the cliff.....and were caught by a giant golden eagle. But if you think our heroes are safe you are sadly mistaken, for because of the extra weight the (although small) pigs, the eagle tipped forward and the tiny pigs landed in.... the tea cup of a girl who was at having a cup of chai tea at Dichotomy. And that is how the name teacup pigs came to be.

THE END
P.S. The girl gave the teacup pigs to a farmer who fattened them up and ate them for Christmas. Sorry, but thats just the circle of life. *cue the Lion King music*
