Despite spending many years on [[Earth]], ruling over a majority-human population, PrincessMeredith felt she did not have a good grasp on what the everyday life of a human was like. One day, Princess Meredith had an idea: to better relate to the experiences of her human subjects, she would '''become human for a day'''.
As you may well imagine, Princess Meredith was not well-prepared for the less pleasant aspects of life as a human. Within the first 10 minutes of Meredith's transformation, her partner, DameAdorabelle, realized that Meredith would need ''very'' close supervision to avoid accidentally harming herself...or worse.

== Meredith's new experiences ==
=== Hunger ===
''(Princess Meredith barges into Adorabelle's study)''
'''Princess Meredith:''' I feel a strange emptiness deep within myself...and that emptiness seems to be giving me a compulsion to shove organic matter into my mouth.
'''Dame Adorabelle:''' It sounds like you're hungry. You should eat something.
'''Princess Meredith:''' I see. What shall I eat?
'''Dame Adorabelle:''' Well, since this is your first time eating, you should start with a special treat. Down in [[TheGalleriaAtPalaceCircle|the shopping mall just outside the palace grounds]], there's a BetterBurger restaurant. Why not go try one of their world-famous cheeseburgers?
'''Princess Meredith:''' Then it is settled! I shall make my way down to this "BetterBurger" at once!
''(A short while later, Meredith comes stumbling back into Adorabelle's study, clutching her stomach in pain)''
'''Princess Meredith:''' Adorabelle, help! Something is wrong with my stomach! I assume this is what you mean when you talk about "pain". What did I do wrong?
'''Dame Adorabelle:''' Huh. You just had a cheeseburger, right?
'''Princess Meredith:''' I started with one, but the sensation it caused in my mouth was so delightful that I ended up eating several.
'''Dame Adorabelle:''' How many did you have altogether?
'''Princess Meredith:''' After the seventh one, the BetterBurger staff refused to sell me any more.
'''Dame Adorabelle:''' Oh dear...you're going to be in for a rough time, my love. I suppose this is as good a time as any to explain what a toilet is for...
=== Sleep ===
''(Princess Meredith throws open the door to Adorabelle's study in a panic)''
'''Princess Meredith:''' ADORABELLE, HELP! I THINK I AM DYING!
'''Dame Adorabelle:''' Whoa, whoa, don't panic! What's wrong?
'''Princess Meredith:''' I seem to be losing my ability to...be? I do not know how to describe it. My body seems to simply want to...shut down. AM I DYING, ADORABELLE? IS THIS WHAT DYING FEELS LIKE?
'''Dame Adorabelle:''' No, no, no. You'll be fine. I think I know what the problem is. You're tired. You just need a little bit of sleep.
'''Princess Meredith:''' ''This'' is why humans sleep? Your day-to-day existence must be abject torture!
'''Dame Adorabelle:''' All mortal creatures need sleep. It's just in our nature. Now come on, I'll lead you to a bed...
== In summary... ==
'''Princess Meredith:''' I learned a lot from that, but also I never want to do it again.
'''Dame Adorabelle:''' That summarizes all the best experiences in life, really!
