^ hey raestar. It's ms. Philly. I'm American so I think I can help out here. What spencer is saying is basically a colloquialism, which means spencer is speaking a word or phrase that is not formal or literary, typically used in ordinary or familiar conversation. So if you're not familiar with American "Disney culture" then you might have hard time understanding it and since some of you guys are from other countries then a phrase like what spencer said can be hard to get. Basically she's saying "you're my fairy tale." Because "once upon a time" is a cliché in a lot fairy tale books that line the opening line of the story. Which is also adopted into "Disney princess" stories so its well known. So if you said that to an American even though you weren't saying "you're my fairy tale/ Prince Charming" directly, saying you're "my once upon a time" would have the same meaning.
