Hello people! This is my first posted fanfic. I know that we all know the beauty and the beast story, but this popped into my head and I wanted to go with it. Please review!

Once upon a time, there was a young but spoiled prince who lived in a great castle. He had everything he ever wanted, and thus was spoiled. One winter's eve, there came a knock on the castle's great doors. His servant answered the door. Out side was an old, haggard beggar woman, the prince came to see who it was, and was repulsed by her appearance. "Please, good prince. I beg of you, give me shelter for the night. I will give you this rose in return." Repulsed, he ordered her to leave. "Do not be fooled by appearances young prince, I ask again, allow me to shelter from the bitter cold." The old woman warned, and again the prince ordered her gone. Seeing the prince had no love and compassion within him, the woman's ugliness melted away leaving a beautiful enchantress. "I am the enchantress Michelle. Because you have proven to be selfish and hateful, You are doomed to be a hideous beast, unless you can learn to love someone, and earn her love in return by the time the last petal on this enchanted rose falls, then you are doomed to remain a beast for the rest of your life." The prince felt a terrible pain spread through out his body, and the enchantress vanished, leaving a soft echo " The rose will bloom until your twenty first birthday." She was gone, leaving him the rose, a mirror that showed him anything, and a curse on him and his entire household. The years slowly passed, and The Beast fell into despair. No one could ever love a monster like him.

Serena Tsukino's father was once a proud man. One of the richest, most successful merchants in the country ( AN: yah I know, its done to death!) Unfortunately, After Serena's mother died, things went belly up. He hadn't been the same after losing his job and his wife. He loved his daughters though, Serena and Rei. Rei looked very much like her mother. Where as Serena tended to favor her father in looks, except her eyes, which were the same pure blue that her mother's had been. Still, despite it's problems, Serena was content, even happy. Serena entered the small cottage she lived in a little after sunset, Rei and (AN: since I don't know what the heck Serena's father's name is we'll go with.) Andre, were talking exitedly, "What's going on?" Serena asked. "One of Daddy's ships came back!" Rei shreaked. "I'm going to the city to collect the goods! I'm bringing both of you presents! What do you want?" Andre asked. Rei knew immeidetly what she wanted, " Father, if you could, would you bring me a nice soft blanket?" Andre laughed, "Why my child! I shall bring you a hundred blankets! Serena, what do you want." It was Rei's turn to laugh, "A really pretty dress huh Serena." But Serena, sadly shook her head "No, I don't have any real use for pretty dresses anymore, they would just go to waste. Father, If at all possible, can you bring me a rose? Just one pink or red rose? All mine are dead and." Andre went over and hugged his youngest child. "Of coarse I'll bring you a rose Serena, and you your blanket Rei." He was gone by dawn the next morning.

Neh, it will get better later. sorry its so short and choppy.
