I've made these kinds of stories before. There's Bones of Marriage and Courageous. Now I'm making this one. I don't own Shugo Chara or Tangled.


Once upon a time…yeah, I don't think so. You think you know those princess stories where they live happily ever after. Well this story is a bit different from tradition. So, here is goes.

In a land far away, a little drop of sunlight fell to the earth, creating the most beautiful red rose ever known. It had magic powers to heal anything with a special incantation. Everyone needs its power, but there are some that want the power all for themselves. One day, an old woman, also known as a witch—she had no potions or spells like you might think from the title—found the rose and sang to the it to restore her beauty. The song went something like this:

Red rose show your love.
Let your magic shine.
Stop this tragedy.
Return back what was all mine.
Heal the injured wound.
Bring peace back to align.
Save what's almost gone.
Return back what was all mine.

Return back what was all mine.

She was selfish, and hid the rose from the world. Now, on to the kingdom of Seiyo. It was ruled by Queen Midori and King Tsumugu Hinamori. But tragedy struck, and the queen became deathly ill. So the guards and subjects all went out in search for the magic rose. The witch didn't make the best hiding spot and the townspeople found the carnation. They churned it down and gave it to the queen as medicine. Months later, Midori gave birth to a healthy baby girl with honey-gold eyes and beautiful long hot pink hair. As a celebration, the entire kingdom released glowing lanterns and cherry blossoms into the sky.

One night, the old woman broke into the palace. When she cut a lock of Amu's hair, it lost its power and turned dark pink. The woman chose the next best thing. She stole Amu away from her home, leaving the kingdom in devastation. Now, the kingdom releases lanterns and petals into the sky, hoping that their daughter will see them and return.

But the witch had other ideas. She convinced Amu that she was her big sister. Amu was too naïve to see that Utau, the witch, never aged one bit. They moved into a tower far away from civilization. Utau always told the little pinkette that the reason for this is to keep her safe from anyone who tries to hurt her to get her hair.

Now, on to the thieves of the kingdom. He was known for his cat-like agility and his witty escapes. He went by the name of Aruto Hoshina. You really didn't think he's going to be the villain in this story, did you? He's going to be the opposite.


Here's the Prologue! I'll make Chapter 1 soon!
