This is my first story. I read fanfiction for a year or two before I made an account; I've had an account for about a year now, so I finally decided it was time to make my own fanfiction. This story will probably end where the movie ends. I hope you enjoy! :)

Briar Rose was in a hurry to get out of the house. "Why is that?", you may ask. Well, she was convinced if she didn't, her aunts would drive her insane. They kept going on, and on, about how exciting that her 16th birthday was today. It was exciting, yes, but not that exciting. "It's just another birthday!", she thought, "What could be so special about this one?"

She quickly ran to the coffee table and grabbed her iPod Touch (It was her prized possesion, since she wasn't allowed to have a phone). She then rushed out the door, yelling a brief "I'll be back in a bit!" to her aunts. Into the woods she ran, plopping herself down underneath the willow. "Finally, some peace and quiet!", she thought. It was much different than the hussle and bussle going on in her house; and she liked it that way.

Soon enough her time of silence was interrupted by a familiar sound. "Who? Who?", screeched the owl above her. It had been meeting her here, for quite a while now. She enjoyed his company; She would sit and talk to him for hours. He would nod his head or "Who?" in response, just as if he could understand her.

About 10 minutes or so later, a little gray bunny hopped towards her feet. She also noticed a squirrel, a couple trees over, staring at her. She smiled and nodded, as she reached for her iPod. She set it on one of her favorite song, then slowly and gently stood up, as not to scare any of the animals. She began to dance around, singing along as she went.

"I know you, I walked with you once upon a dream. I know you, the gleam in your eyes is so familiar, a gleam. I know its true, that visions are seldom all they seem. But if I know you, I know what you'll do; You'll love me at once, the way you did once upon a dream... But if I know you, I know what you'll do; You'll love me at once, the way..." Suddenly a male voice cut in, the stranger dancing along with her as he sang, "...you did once upon a dream."

She jumped realizing she wasn't alone. She tried to run away, but the handsome intruder gently grabbed her arm. He had curly brown hair and chocolate brown eyes. He was just dressed in what looked to be brand-new clothes (unlike her ragged outfit). He smiled as he began, "I'm sorry. I really didn't mean to scare you like that."

"No, no, It's not that... It's just, well, you know. You're a...", she meekly tried to reply, but he finished for her. "...a stranger." "Don't you remember we've met before..." Her mind went in a whirl wind before he could finish. "I've been home-schooled all my life, I've bearly even left the house. I couldn't have met him before; I deffinitely would have remembered someone as good looking as him.", she thought, blushing towards the end. "Hello. Did you hear me?" he asked "Huh?" "Just like you said, we met once upon a dream." He replied with a wondering smile. "I guess we have," she said returning the smile.

"I better be going," she said. "Wait! Can I have your number?" he asked. "Don't have one," she simply replied as she continued to walk. Stopping her once again, he asked, "Can you at least give me your name?" She looked down contemplating if she should give it to him. Looking up with a smile on her face, she replied, "I tell you what, why don't you meet me behind the little cottage just a lil' south of here." "At midnight," she added. "Of course!" he replied. And just like that she was off again, running to tell her aunts the good news.

Thanks for reading! Please review. :)
