{Author's Note: Yep. I'm doing this again. Same premise as Sleeping Blooper }
[Disclaimer: ... Yeah, long list, not doing it]
The Author had his butt in his director's chair, his laptop to his side as he typed away what would happen. Before him was nothing but black, ready for him to illustrate his story. This wasn't the first time the Author preformed a Fanmake, and it was unlikely that it would be his last. The story he took was a timeless classic, of how true beauty is found on the inside of even the most fearsome of creatures. There have been so many renditions of this classic, but the Author wasn't intimidated by them. He instead embraced them, and, as if he was doing Mad Libs, he replaced certain words in the script with his replacement words. He hoped to acquire fame and adoration of his fans for what he believes is to be his magnum opus, and given his experience with Fanmakes, he had enough confidence to try and make it the best damn Fanmake ever. However, so many things can go wrong...
He began to type out his first line: "Once upon a time, in a faraway land, a young prince lived in a shining castle." The black faded as a large castle emerged from the ground. The black now became a bright blue with shades of pine trees in the distance. Soon, a man with short brown hair walked onto the set. He was a person of the Author's own creation, based on his personality and looks. This man was an OC, set to play Prince Adam. The Author smiled as his creation came to life. He was eager to get the plot rolling; so much that he subconsciously skipped one tiny detail: limiting the Prince to be a spoiled brat.
Instead, he skipped it to a part where an old beggar came to the castle during a blizzard. He kept typing, he knew who the beggar would become, and he couldn't wait to reveal her. The OC and the Beggar talked back and forth, their audio muted as the Author told what they spoke instead of having them actually speak. As far as he knows, they could just be talking about the weather. He then typed out: "And when the prince dismissed her again, the old woman's ugliness melted away to reveal a beautiful Enchantress named Rapunzel (from Tangled)". And like the narration said, the old beggar's appearance soon changed into that of a green eyed woman in a princesses' outfit, with long golden hair that seemed to go on endlessly.
But then, he typed out how she casted a spell to turn the OC into the Beast... Nothing happened, even though the Beast was summoned beside the Author. Rapunzel simply stared at the Author, and tried to speak to him, the audio still muted. The Author typed into the laptop, and he could hear Rapunzel's voice. She was in mid-rant.
"I mean, my powers need to be activated by singing, which would cause my hair to glow and heal any injuries or reverse aging! It can't turn someone into some sort of beast!" Rapunzel said to the Author.
"Huh? Oh... Right... Uh... Crap..." The Author began to sweat. He didn't expect to screw up something like that. He thought of who would best replace Rapunzel. He panicked, and he summoned the first thing he could think of: a woman with curly brown hair, and a white dress. He then looked in confusion. Why did he summon Christine DaaƩ? She wasn't an Enchantress, she was a singer. He massaged his head as Christine faded away, being dismissed. He had to think of someone... someone with a lot of magic... That's when he heard someone.
"Um... I couldn't help but notice your plight." It sounded like a girl. The Author turned behind him and saw a woman standing in front of him. She had long black hair, save for two stripes of purple and pink that went across her hair. Her outfit was like that of a school uniform, with her sweater coloured almost exactly like her purple eyes. The Author wasn't the only one looking at her. His copy was also looking at her, mouth agape to her beauty. "You need an Enchantress, right?" She asked. The Author got up off of his seat and nodded rapidly.
"Yes! Do you know a spell that can turn someone into a beast?" He asked, desperately. She brushed through her hair with a finger as she looked and tried to think.
"Let's see... I know many spells, so I kind of forget what even I can usually do... Let's see... Memory charm... shield spell... Ah! Yes! A transmogrification spell! I could use that to turn the guy into the Beast!" She said.
"Well, I already have the beast right here." The Author said, pointing to a blue, humanoid hedgehog who wore nothing but white gloves and red shoes.
"But... he doesn't look beastly..." She said. The Author smirked, held up one index finger, then typed away, and soon, the hedgehog screamed in pain, submitting to the ground as his body began to shift and morph into a monster twice his size, his hands now having claws, and his shoes now spiky. He then got up, and then growled at the Author.
"Why don't you just do that then? Cast the Hedgehog as the prince?" The Enchantress asked.
"Well, thing is, he's a hedgehog, and I've casted a human to play Belle... It would be creepy, and trust me, no one wants a repeat of Sonic 06. Just do something magicky on the set, then I'll make the switch." The Author said. The Enchantress rolled her eyes. She then got onto the set of the Castle, looking at Rapunzel as she too faded away. The Enchantress then closed her eyes and tried to focus. Her forehead began to glow a bright violet. The Author then muted the audio and retyped the sentence: "The prince tried to apologize, but it was too late, for the Enchantress had seen that there was no love in his heart, and as punishment, she transformed the prince into a horrific beast!" There was a bright flash, and the two were still standing there, unchanged. He then cued the Werehog to take the OC's place. "Alright! You two did amazing! You're done," The Author pointed to the Enchantress. "and you come back in a long while, okay?" He pointed to the OC. The two nodded and went off, with the OC going up to the Enchantress.
"So... I didn't get your name... My name is... Erm... Just call me Adam." The OC said, trying to keep up with her. "What's your name?"
"..." She looked down.
"Ah. Silent type. I see. Well... Do you want to hang out some time?" Adam asked.
"Erm... No thanks. I have some studying to do. I appreciate the invitation though." She said to Adam. She then turned and left the set, on her way to Downtown Toontown. Adam stopped in his tracks and thought to himself: Who was that girl?
The Author, meanwhile, typed out the final sentence to finish the chapter, one of the immortal lines of the story:
"For who could ever learn to love a beast?"
