Yeah, I know I shouldn't post this until I finish one of my other stories (-coughLATTcough-), but this has been sitting in my head for a while, and I need to get it out so I can continue on with Written Rumors. And I'm sorta having a small case of Writer's Block on Written Rumors, so I finished the prologue and chapter one for Cursed Roses instead! And I have already noticed that there are a lot of stories with the word "Rose" in the title. But listen to this: The title of this story has the word "Roses". Pretty creative, huh?... -cough- Yeah. Right. But enough with my ranting. Here's some info on this new story.
This is basically a twisted version of a classic Disney movie. I'm going to make you all guess what it is. But don't worry, it should be easy to guess since I made it so frickin' obvious! xP
I'm not going to list the shippings, because there's just sooo many. But I have a list in my profile that should give you an idea. Oh, but the main shipping is Contestshipping!
Ages in Prologue:
Note: These are the ages for the Prologue. So obviously, I'll be putting up a new list of ages in Chapter One.
May: 3 days old
Drew: 6 months old
Norman: 26
Caroline: 25
John: 26
Daisy: 18
Violet: 17
Lily: 16
Misty: 12
Harley: 20
P.S. You can look in my profile for a little more information about this story.

Prologue
"She's an angel. I'm sure Andrew will love her." A man with light green hair and rich brown eyes said, admiring the baby in his friend's arms, and then looking back to his own sleeping six month old child in his arms.
"I've arranged for their marriage to be on my daughter's eighteenth birthday." Said another man, this time with dark blue hair.
The woman sitting in a chair inside the hospital room looked up from her daughter's sleeping face and over to the two men. "The four fairies must be wondering when they will see her."
The man with dark blue hair nodded his head, "Yes, May needs to receive her gifts soon."
"Then what are we waiting for?" The green haired man chuckled, "Let's go, before the media hears that you're going back to the castle. Once word gets out, we'll never be able to enter."
"Hold your horses, John. I just gave birth three days ago!" The woman shook her head. "We'll get there when we get there."
The man with green hair, John, sighed, "Oh, alright. Norman, I'll call Tom and make sure the limo is ready to pick us up. I'll see you two out front."
John left the room with his young baby boy, leaving Norman and his wife alone with their child.
"Caroline, are you sure you'll be able to walk?" Norman asked, concerned for his wife's health.
Caroline smiled assuringly at her husband, "Don't worry about me, Norman. We should be worrying about whether or not the fairies know about May's arrival."
"I'm sure they'll find out. Now come on. Tom doesn't like keeping the engine running." Norman said as he helped his wife carry their daughter out of the room.

"Introducing the newest heir to the Maple throne... Princess May!"
The crowd of spectators and camera men on the castle grounds cheered as they looked up to the second story balcony, where the King and Princess stood, waving and smiling as their daughter was held up for all the world to see.
"And now for our special guests of honor, please welcome the four good fairies!"
As the voice said the names, four teenage girls approached the royal family on their large fairy wings.
"Daisy, the fairy of beauty!"
A tall woman around the age of eighteen years with long blond hair first flew up to the family. She wore a skimpy red dress, with her wavy hair flowing down her back, covering a part of her large wings.
"Violet, the fairy of grace!"
A girl that was only a year younger than Daisy, gracefully flew next to the adults and baby. Her bright blue hair was in the same styling as her older sister, and she wore an identical dress, only the color was a deep forest green.
"Lily, the fairy of music!"
A younger girl with short wavy neon pink hair quickly appeared next to her sisters. Her dress was the same design as her siblings', but hers was orange, with a large blue bow on the front and small red bows lining the hem.
"And Misty, the fairy of wisdom!"
Wavy orange hair cascaded down the back of the youngest girl. Her dress was different from her three sisters. The dress was longer, and was light pink at the top, fading into a bright turquoise once it reached the bottom, right above her knees. She flapped her fairy wings and flew up to the balcony.
"Your majesties," The four said in unison, closing their wings and curtsying in front of the King and Princess.
"We're glad you could make it." King Norman smiled as the four stood up.
Daisy giggled, "We wouldn't miss this for like, anything!"
"Yeah, we're like really excited that we get to like, give gifts to another royal baby this year!" Violet beamed, glancing down at the sleeping baby in the cradle.
The first royal baby that they had gifted that year, was Prince Andrew of La Rousse. Daisy had gifted him with eyes the color of emeralds. Violet had gifted him with grace, and Misty had gifted him with wisdom. Or brains, as modern society called it.
Lily, thinking that the Prince wouldn't need the gift of anything musical, helped Daisy with the gifts of beauty. She had gifted the young boy with hair as soft as the clouds.
"Each of us will give the Princess one gift. Daisy, you start." Misty said.
Daisy nodded her head and stepped towards the cradle, "With my gift of beauty, she will have like, eyes as blue as the ocean!"
She pulled a wand out from behind her back and waved it above the baby's face. Small blue sparkles slowly flowed down and disappeared as they touched the soft skin on her eyelids.
Violet approached the cradle as Daisy walked back to her place next to her sisters. "Because I have like, the gift of grace, I'm going to give the Princess the gift of dance!"
Grabbing a wand, Violet gracefully waved it majestically above the Princess. Red glitter danced in the air before landing on the baby.
Lily quickly skipped up to Princess May and said, "I'll give Princess May the gift of like, singing!"
Reaching into her pocket, she pulled out a small vile. Tapping a small amount of the pink pixie dust into her hand, Lily started humming a tune to herself. She held her hand in front of the baby's mouth and quickly blew the dust out of her palms. The dust twinkled in the sun light and then gently touched May's lips.
As Lily moved back to the group of fairies, Misty walked up to the Princess's cradle. "And I will give May the gift of –"
"Did you all forget about me?" A high voice interrupted Misty.
Turning towards the sound, the four fairies gasped.
"Harley..." Misty growled, glaring at the older man.
Wearing a woman's Cacturn costume, stood a man in his early twenties. His long unruly purple hair spread out on his back, with a large green wizard's hat on his head. A sickly sweet smile was plastered on his lips as he stepped on to the balcony.
"How come no one told me about this gifting ceremony?" He asked, glancing at the baby cradle next to the King and Princess.
"You weren't invited." Misty snapped.
Harley looked over at the young fairy and scoffed, "They invited you – the rebel – and not me?"
"Hey!" Misty shouted, and lunged towards the man, only being held back by her older sisters.
"Well since I'm now here, I have a gift that I would like to give to the young Princess." Harley stated.
Caroline sent a worried glance towards Norman as Harley walked walked over to May's cradle.
"My gift for Princess May is..." He put a hand behind his back and pulled out a box. "Some of my homemade cookies!"
The Princess uncertainly looked around and coughed. "Um...Well, thank you for your gift Harley. You may leave now –"
"I can't leave until she tries one!" Harley snapped.
Caroline sighed but refused to argue. She calmly approached the baby and gently woke her up.
Princess May slowly opened her eyes, revealing the beautiful gift that Daisy had granted her. She yawned and sleepily looked up at her mother.
"Here, eat this cookie, hun!" Harley commanded, stuffing one cookie into the young baby's small mouth.
May sucked on the hard dessert. She didn't have any teeth, but she was able to taste the cookie. After a few seconds, May quickly spat out the cookie and watched it land on the marble floor.
Harley stood still, an appalled expression etched on to his face. His eye twitching, he growled, "You don't like my cookies, huh?"
Princess May only looked up at him and giggled.
"Well, I don't like you either!" The man shouted, pointing a finger at the newborn baby. "In fact, that wasn't even my real gift!"
The four fairies watched as a malicious smile grew on Harley's face.
The man drew a long staff out of nowhere. The staff was made out of dark wood, and a small pokeball was carved on to the top of the staff. Harley held it up off the ground and started talking as the small pokeball began to glow a dark purple.
"You will grow up with those gifts that the fairies gave you. But –" He paused for dramatic effect. "– before the sun sets on your eighteenth birthday, you – the Princess – shall prick your finger on the thorn of a rose, and die! Ha! Take that you little ginger snap!"
Caroline gasped as she picked up her daughter and held her close.
Norman stepped forward and glared at the man. Pointing at Harley, he bellowed, "Seize him!"
Harley laughed maniacally. Daisy, Violet, Lily, and Misty, being loyal subjects to all royal families, flew towards the evil wizard as Secret Royal Service men invaded the area trying to protect innocents from getting hurt. Harley grinned as a large purple bubble surrounded him, pushing the four fairies away.
Harley continued laughing.
Misty flew over to Princess Caroline and whispered, "We will take her someplace safe. It is too dangerous for her to live here, where Harley will always know where she is. If you will trust my sisters and I, we will make sure that Princess May lives a happy life."
Caroline wiped a few tears from her eyes as she handed her only daughter to the young fairy. "Please, keep her safe."
Misty nodded and looked towards her sisters who stood a few feet behind her. Looking at the three older girls, she silently told them to run.
They quickly opened their fairy wings and flew up into the air, with the baby Princess in Misty's arms. The four fairies started flapping their wings, heading in the direction towards Petalburg Woods.
Harley then stopped laughing and glared at the flying girls. "You think you can save her? It's too late to erase the curse, fairies. That curse has been cast, and will take effect when it is time!"
"Oh yeah?" Misty taunted, looking down at the baby in her arms.
May still had not received Misty's gift. And Misty knew just what she would give. Her hands started glowing a bright green as they held the small child, and Misty recited, "You have been cursed to touch the thorn of a rose before the sun sets on your eighteenth birthday, and die. I will modify the curse, and instead of dying, you will be put into an eternal sleep, only to be waken up by the first kiss from your true love."
Thunder rolled as lightning lit up the sky. Rain started pelting down on the foursome.
They heard Harley in the distance command, "Banette sweetie, stop those fairies from getting any further! Kill them, if you must, but bring the child back to me."
The four fairies gasped and flapped their wings harder, trying to out-fly the ghost pokemon.
Misty saw from the corner of her eye, the Banette coming closer to her. "Daisy!" Misty shouted, tossing the baby girl to her oldest, and most responsible sister, who was leading the pack.
Daisy caught the small child and continued flying.
The Banette came up to Misty, thinking that she was holding the royal baby.
Small bluish white flames started circling the Banette's large head. They moved faster, growing in size and strength. The harsh rain water falling from the sky wasn't effecting the move.
Looking over her shoulder again, Misty was shocked to see a large ball of blue fire being thrown at her. She quickly moved to the left, but her right wing was harshly burned by the Will-O-Wisp.
Misty cried out in pain, but continued flying as fast as she could. Seeing her sisters turn their heads to look at her, Misty shouted, "Keep flying!"
Another large roar of thunder was heard, and it sounded close. Misty looked above her to see that the Banette had summoned a Thunder attack on her.
Gasping, Misty skillfully somersaulted in the air to her left, and dodged the powerful attack. She turned to face the evil pokemon.
"So you wanna play dirty, huh?" Misty taunted, grabbing a pokeball out of her pocket and throwing it into the air, she shouted, "Gyarados, I need your help!"
A bright red light shot out of the red and white capsule, and materialized into a large serpentine-like creature. Large white spikes shot out of the pokemon's long blue back, with a light yellow colored underside.
The Gyarados – being part flying-type – levitated in the air, glaring at the Banette in front of him.
"Gyarados, use Hydro Pump!" Misty commanded, as she flapped her wings, hovering on the spot.
Gyarados drew his head back and sent a strong blast of water flying towards the ghost pokemon.
Banette widened his eyes as he stared at the water coming towards him. He stood still in shock as the blast hit him with great force, sending him stumbling back a ways.
"Do it again, Gyarados!" Misty shouted.
Another blast of water was sent to Banette. But this time, he fought back.
Lifting his lanky gray arms into the air, an evil glint flashed in Banette's glowing red eyes. As the water hit the ghost pokemon, a powerful shock of electricity hit the young fairy, sending a piercing scream through the atmosphere.
Gyarados watched as the Banette fell down headfirst into the forest of Petalburg Woods. His health had been drained. Turning around to see his trainer, Gyarados was shocked to see she too, was falling out of the sky.
He quickly flew down, and caught the falling fairy on his back. Gyarados quickly flew up to the other three fairies, who were a few meters ahead.
Seeing her youngest sister lye motionless on Gyarados's back, Violet gasped, "Like oh my Ho-oh! Is Misty okay?"
"Gar gyra doso. Gyra gar dos. (She was hit by Banette's Thunder attack. I don't think she survived.)" Gyarados said, small tears lining his eyes.
The three sisters gasped as they continued flying. Princess May was asleep in Daisy's arms.
"If she didn't like, fight Banette, May would probably have like, gotten hurt." Lily muttered, trying to keep her voice level.
"She stayed loyal to the royal family even though her life was like, at risk." Violet sighed, wiping tears from her eyes.
Daisy gave her sisters a comforting smile, "Now it's our turn to like, stay loyal to the royal family. We will protect May with like, all our hearts, and keep her past a secret. It will be like, better for her if she doesn't know. Not until the day before her eighteenth like, birthday."
Lily gave her older sister an odd look, "If her past is going to be like, a secret, then shouldn't we change her name?"
"That's a totally great idea. Then Harley will like, never find her." Daisy nodded her head as they continued flying father away from the castle of Petalburg.
"How about like, a flower name?" Violet asked.
"Like Rose?" Lily suggested.
"That sounds like, really good. But we should have a part of her real name in it." Daisy pointed out.
Violet looked up and said, "Maylene?"
"Like ew!" Lily squealed, "No. Maybe like, Maybelle?"
"That sounds like, stupid." Violet spat.
Daisy then smiled and said, "Oh! How about like, Maybella?"
"Ooh! That is so totally like, pretty!" Lily and Violet replied in unison.
"Yeah! Her name is like, Maybella Rose from now on!" Daisy cheered, glancing down at the sleeping baby in her arms.
"Like, yay!" Violet squealed.
And so the three good fairies continued flying, until they saw the perfect place where they knew Maybella Rose would be able to live a happy, normal, not royal life.
At least, until she turned eighteen.

Lol, I had fun writing Daisy, Violet, and Lily's lines. I was cracking up each time I had to spell "like" in a sentence. xP
I think I made the babies seem like they could sleep through a nuclear invasion. xD
I hope I got Harley in character. If I didn't, please let me know what I can do to make Harley act like... himself.
I gave you guys a taste of my horrible battle scene writing skills. Hopefully they'll get better as the story goes on... But I doubt it. xP
So, I need to go over a few things first.
I made four good fairies instead of three(it was in the movie), because if Daisy, Violet, and Lily are fairies, shouldn't Misty be at least part of the group? So yeah. Four good fairies... Well, I guess there is actually three now...
Daisy is going to be a little more responsible and slightly smarter in this story than she is in the anime.
Drew was given the gift of grace. NOT dance. So, Drew doesn't know how to dance, but he is not a klutz.
May was given the gift of dance. That means that she is only graceful when she is dancing and she naturally (or magically, whatever you wanna call it) is a great dancer. Other than that, she is a total klutz. xD
Notice that Misty's gift was just to edit the curse. She did not give May brains. So May is still that dense naïve girl that we know and love. xP
Misty didn't fight back with her magic, because the good fairies can only use their powers for good. And fighting isn't listed as being "good".
Drew is being called Andrew right now, because it is his legal name (in this story). And also because he needed another name to make the story work.
Misty's death is very important. She needed to die so that a very important part of the story would happen.
Yes, they do have pokemon. Thanks for asking. xP
Drew's mother wasn't in the prologue, and the reason why will be told in the first chapter.
I know that in the movie, Aurora is supposed to get married and die on her sixteenth birthday. Well, I think that sixteen is too young to get married. So, May will actually get married on her eighteenth birthday, as well as put the curse into action. (Although, eighteen is still way too young, and it's not much of a difference from the original age. xD But I wanted to keep them in their teens, because it would just be easier to keep them in character that way.)
I tried to make the story a little more modernized. So, keep that in mind when you continue reading this story and say to yourself, "That didn't happen in the movie." Because, everything is happening in the twenty-first century.
Misty's outfit is supposed to be like her mermaid costume. And Daisy, Violet, and Lily's dresses are supposed to be like the ones that they wear when they are the Sensational Sisters.
I didn't mean to offend anyone when I made Lily and Violet bash the names "Maylene" and "Maybelle". I know that a lot of people use those names as May's real name. I just made them bash it so that I could make Daisy suggest the name "Maybella". I think Maybella Rose flows a lot smoother than Maybelle Rose or Maylene Rose, don't you? And "bella" means beautiful in Italian. Even though I'm not even part Italian, but you know what I'm getting at, right? xP (And I basically gave her the name Maybella because my cousin's name is Isabelle, and I always call her Isabella. But she doesn't mind since she's only two years old. Anyway, back to the topic!)
This story is a very, very, VERY twisted version of the Disney movie. So most of everything in the story, never happened in the movie. So don't tell me that I'm getting way off the story line. Because, it's supposed to be like that. xP And by twisted, I mean that it is going to be so different that I could make May and Drew meet in the supermarket. lol, not that I actually will make that happen, that was just an example... But man, that would be hilarious. I can just picture May now asking the Prince, "Which apple looks better to you?" Oh god... xD
Okay, now I'm going to go over the gifts that the fairies gave to May and Drew.
May received:
Eyes as blue as the ocean. Basically meaning she has blue eyes.
Gift of dance. Meaning dancing comes natural to her, and she doesn't need to take dance lessons.
Gift of singing. Meaning she has a beautiful singing voice, and she doesn't need to take singing courses.
An edit to her curse. And remember that she can only be waken up by her true love's first kiss. Not second, or twenty-fifth. It has to be the first kiss.
Drew received:
Eyes the color of emeralds. Green eyes if you didn't understand it at first.
Gift of grace. He's graceful. Meaning he never acts like a klutz, trips, or stumbles over his own two feet.
Gift of wisdom/brains. Meaning he's smart, and doesn't do stupid stuff. He also makes up comebacks really fast thanks to his high IQ. (xD)
Hair as soft as the clouds. He won't need to use conditioner to make his hair soft, since it's already naturally/magically soft. x3
Ooh, I just noticed that if I named this story Cursed Snow or something, then the initials would have been CS! Which is the same initials for the main ship in this story! ...I'm weird I know. xD
Characters the will be seen in this story sometime or another that haven't been introduced yet:
- Ash
- Brendan
- Gary
- Dawn
- Paul
- Kenny
- Lucas
- Brock
- Ruby (my OC from Written Rumors. Not the Brendan from the mangas.)
- Susan (Ruby's mother)
I hope you all liked the Prologue even though it was rushed and probably sucked. xP
Edited:
I changed Caroline from a Queen to a Princess, since you can only have either a King and a Princess or a Queen and a Prince.
