Beauty and the Beast Hetalia Editon

Once upon a time, in a faraway land a young prince lived in a shining castle. Although he had everything his heart desired, the prince was spoiled, selfish, and unkind. But then, one winter's night, an old begger man came to the castle and offered him a single rose in return for shelter from the bitter cold. Repulsed by his haggard appearance, the prince sneered at the gift and turned the old man away. But the man warned him not to be deceived by apperances, for beauty is found within... and when the prince dismissed him again, the old man's ugliness melted away to reveal a handsome enchanter. The prince tried to apologize, but it was too late, for the enchanter had seen that there was no love in his heart, and as punishment he transformed him into a hideous beast and placed a powerfull spell on the castle, and all who lived there.

Ashamed of his monstrous form, the beast concealed himself inside his castle with a magic mirror as his only window to the outside world. The rose the old man had offered was truely an enchanted rose, which would bloom until his twenty-first year. If he could learn to love another, and earn their love in return by the time the last petal fell, then the spell would be broken. If not, he would be doomed to remain a beast for all time... as the years passed, he fell into despair, and lost all hope... For who could ever love a beast?

(Chapter One)

The morning sun slowly rose over a quiet village bathing it in a warm glow that fine late autumn morning. Birds chirped happily as they flew through the gentle breeze. The door to a small little cottage opened as a girl stepped out holding a wicker basket with a single book inside. The girl was very pretty and wore a white shirt under a blue dress with a white apron. She had medium length brown hair which she kept tied back with a blue ribbon. She smiled as she saw the birds fly past her chirping. As she walked happily into town she began to sing softly. "Little town, it's a quite village. Everyday , like the one before. Little town, full of little people waking up to say..." "Bonjour!" came the happy voices of several townsfolk as she took her steps into town. "There goes the baker with his tray like always the same old bread and rolls to sell. Every morning just the same, since the morning that we came to this poor provincial town..." She sang softly while the town began it's usual routine. "Good morning Milan!" said the Baker as he stepped over to his shop. "Morning monsieur!" said Milan as the baker placed his tray down to gather more bread and rolls. "Where are you off to?" he asked her smiling as he gatherd more of his goods. "The bookshop! I just finished the most wonderful story, about a beanstalk and a ogre and ..." "That's nice.. Marie, the baguettes! Hurry up!" said the baker cutting her off.

Milan shrugged and put her book away and continued on her way. As she walked the townsfolk began to sing about her. "Look there she goes that girl is strange no question! Dazed and distracted, can't you tell?" sang two old women as she walked past them. "Never part of any crowd." sang a woman who stood with her husband outside the barbershop. "Cause her head's up on some cloud" sang the barber as he cut a man's moustache instead of trimming it. "No denying she's a funny girl that Milan." sang the townsfolk as she jumped on the back of a wagon to ride through the town. "Bonjour!" said the driver to a woman as she walked." Good day!" she replied smiling. "Bonjour!" said said a woman as she picked up meat from the butcher shop. "Good day!" said the butcher as he eyed the woman. "How is your wife?" she said just as the butcher's wife appeared behind him with her rolling pin and struck him. "I need six eggs!" shouted another woman while holding 3 infants and struggling with two toddlers. "That's too expensive!" said a man as he and his wife haggled with another merchant over pottery. "There must be more than this provincial life!" sang bell as she hopped off of the wagon just outside the book shop.

Milan entered the bookshop making a small bell ring. "Ah Milan!" said the bookseller smiling. "Good morning. I came to return the book I borrowed." she said handing the book to the man. "Finished already?" he asked smiling as he took the book from her. "Oh I couldn't put it down. Have you got anything new?" said Milan as she climed a ladder to look at one of the shelves of books. "Not since yesterday." laughed the man as Milan looked. "That's alright. I'll borrow... this one." she said taking a blue book off the shelf happily. "That one? but you've read it twice!" he said chuckling a bit as she handed it to him so he would know which book. "Well it's my favorite!" she said making the ladder roll along its track with her on it. "Far off places, daring sword fights, magic spells, a prince in disguise!" she said hopping down from the ladder as the bookseller just laughed and smiled. "Well if you like it that much it's yours." said the bookseller giving her the book for keeps. "But sir!" she said suprised that he would just give her the book. "I insist!" he said smiling escorting her to the door. "Well thank you. Thank you very much!" she said happily as she began to read her new book.

Three men who had been looking in the window watch as Milan leaves. "Look there she goes that girl is so peculiar! I wonder if she's feeling well!" they sing as she walks down the road lost in her book. Milan walks through a group of kids while reading and jumps their jump rope that they have going and pats a little girl on the head as she keeps going. "With a dreamy far off look" Sing a group of women as Milan pushes a sign up to prevent water being dumped on her and the book. "And her nose stuck in a book!" sing a group of men as she walks past. "What a puzzle to the rest of us is Milan!" sing all of them as she now sits on the edge of a fountain. There she begins to sing to the sheep that have strayed a bit from the others who are being herded through town. "Ooooh isnt' this amazing! It's my favorite part because, you'll see. Here's where she meets Prince Charming, but she won't discover that it's him til chapter three!" The sheep get herded away and she continues to walk lost in her favorite book. "Now it's no wonder that her name means 'beauty' Her looks have got no parallel!" sang a woman in a hat shop as Milan walked past. "But behind that fair facade, I'm afraid she's rather odd. Very different from the rest of us..." sang the hat merchant. "She's nothing like the rest of us. Yes very different from the rest of us is Milan." sang the whole town as a goose was shot down from it's flock.

A small boy with short blond hair and blue eyes ran to catch the falling goose and missed but quickly grabbed it and put it in the bag he carried. "Wow! You didn't miss a shot Prussia! You're the greatest hunter in the whole world!" shouted the man as he ran over praising a tall man with short, light colored hair with asymmetrical bangs and red eyes. "I know!" said Prussia smirking and blowing away smoke from his rifle. "Heh. No beast alive stands a chance against you.. and no girl for that matter!" said the man following Prussia. "It's true Sealand, and I've got my sights set on that one!" said Prussia pointing to Milan who was still reading her book. "The Inventor's daughter?" said Sealand looking a bit confused. "She's the one! The lucky girl I'm going to marry!" "But she's.." "The most beautiful girl in town." "I know but.." "And that makes her the best! And don't I deserve the best?" "Well of course, I mean you do, but I mean.." Prussia cut off Sealand once again as he began to sing. "Right from the moment that I met her, saw her, I said she's gorgeous and I fell. Here in town there's only she. Who is beautiful as me. So I'm making plans to woo and marry Milan." While he sang Milan walked by still reading while Sealand tried to get Prussia's attention.

Noticing that Milan was now leaving town he quickly went after her. "Look there he goes, isn't he dreamy. Monsier Prussia, oh he's so cute. Be still my heart, I'm hardly breathing. He's such a tall, dark, strong and handsome brute." sang three blonde haired women as they swooned over Prussia. Prussia worked at manuvering through the crowd of townsfolk as they discussed everything from cheese to haggling over fish. "There must be more than this provincial life!" sang Milan as she easily moved through the crowd. "Just watch I'm going to make Milan my wife!"sang Prussia as the town gathered watching Milan leave. "Look there she goes that girl is strange but special. A most pecualiar mademoiselle. It's a pity and a sin, she doesn't quite fit in!"sang all of the townsfolk as Prussia tried to get past them once again with no luck. He smirks finding a way around them by going across the rooftops. " But she really is a funny girl, a beauty but a funny girl. She really is a funny girl! That Milan!" sang the town cauing Milan to look back at them. By the time she had they were back to normal as if nothing had happend. She shrugged and turned back to head home. "Hello Milan." said Prussia as he jumped down in front of her. "Bonjour Prussia." said Milan looking up from her book smiling softly.

Prussia took the book from her with a smirk on his face. "Prussia can I have my book back please?" said Milan slightly annoyed. "How can you read this? There's no pictures!" said Prussia as he flipped the pages of the book looking at it. "Well, some people use their imaginations." she said shaking her head a bit. "Milan, it's about time you got your head out of those books." said Prussia as he closed the book and tossed it aside just as Milan reached for it. "And paid attention to more important things.. like me! The whole town's talking about it." continued Prussia as Milan went for her book which he tossed into the mud. "It's not right for a woman to read.. soon she starts getting ideas... and thinking." said Prussia while Milan cleaned her book off with her white apron. "Prussia, you are positively primeval." said Milan cleaning her book still. "Why thank you Milan." he grabbed her book and held it just out of her reach trying to make her follow him. "Hey , whaddya say you and me take a walk over to the tavern and have a look at my hunting trophies?" he said smiling with his arm around her shoulders. "Maybe some other time." she said grabbing her book back from him.

The three blond women had been watching and sighing while looking at Prussia longingly. "What's wrong with her?" said one of the women as they heard Milan turn down Prussia. "Milan is crazy!" said another suprised that any woman would turn down Prussia. "Prussia's gorgeous!" said the final one as they watched. "Please Prussia, I can't. I have to get home and help my father." said Milan putting her book away. "Hahaha, that crazy old loon! He needs all the help he can get!" said Sealand laughing which made Prussia laugh as well. "Don't talk about my father that way!" said Milan angrily. "Yeah, don't talk about her father that way!" said Prussia hitting Sealand on the head hard. "My father's not crazy! He's a genius!" said Milan standing up for her father. As she finishes her sentance and explosion back at her home happens making her rush home while Prussia and Sealand laugh again. "Papa?" says Milan as she rushes into the basment coughing a little from all the smoke. "How on earth did that happen? Damn it!" shouted her father as he pulled a barrel off of his waist his pants going with it. "Are you alright papa?" said Milan as her father quickly pulled his pants back up. "I'm ready to give up on this hunk of junk!" he shouted as he kicked the machine.

Belle smiled a bit holding back a giggle at what her father said. "You always say that." she said smiling still. "I mean it this time! I'll never get this boneheaded contraption to work!" said her father as he crossed his arms angrily. "Yes you will. And you'll win first prize at the fair tomorrow." she said trying to encourage her father. "Hmmph!" he said still annoyed by the fact he couldn't make his invention work. "And become a world famous inventor!" she said getting his attention. "You really believe that?" he said getting a slight grin on his face. "I always have." she said smiling softly to her father. "Well , what are we waiting for!? I'll have this thing fixed in no time!" said her father as he ran back to work on his invention. He slid under the machine and soon began working on the machine with Milan watching. "Hand me that dog-legged clencher there... So, did you have a good time in town today?" he said as he kept working. Milan handed him the tool he asked for while being lost in her thoughts. "I got a new book. Papa, do you think I'm odd?" she asked sitting down to watch her father work as she clutched her book close to her. "My daughter? Odd? Where the hell would you get an idea like that?" he said sliding out form under his invention with goggles that made his eyes look funny.

Milan sighed a little as she looked off to the side. "Oh, I don't know. It's just... I'm not sure I fit in here. There's no one I can really talk to." she said sadly as her father kept working. "What about that Prussia? He's a handsome fellow." said her father sliding back under his invention to work on it more. "He's handsome alright and rude and conceited and... Oh papa, he's not for me." said Milan as she adjusted in her seat. "Well don't worry, cause this invention's going to be the start of a new life for us!" said her father as he came out from under the machine after another slight adjustment. "Alright I think that's done it. Now, let's give it a try." said her father as he pulled the lever and quickly stood back as it started. The machine made several whirring noises and started to chop wood and toss it into a neat pile working just as it should. "It works!" shouted Milan happily. "It does? It does!" shouted her father just as excited as Milan. "Hitch up Phillipe, Milan. I'm off to the fair!" shouted her father seconds before a log struck him in the head knocking him out.
