A/N: Okay I just love Beauty and the Beast and I thought this would be awesome. The plot will change and won't be exactly like the movie, hence the title.
Once upon a time, a handsome, young canary lived in Rio. Although he can pick any woman that he wishes, he was very insensitive toward their feelings.
One day, a very gorgeous finch came along and the canary tried to woo her. Although she told him not to be fooled by appearances, he still tried to woo her.
The finch melted away to reveal a beautiful human enchantress. She told the canary of how he picked up gorgeous birds but once they fell in love with him, he'd throw them away; not once caring about how heartbroken they are and how they were just toys to him.
The canary was on his knees apologizing and saying he would change but it was too late, for she had seen that there was no love in his heart. With a tap of her wand, the canary grew a bit larger with unruly feathers, sharp talons, a chipped beak, and many scars; the most noticeable scar was one that went to his left eye all the way down to his lower beak. She also placed a curse on the entire jungle, making the birds mice.
The enchantress gave him a bottle cap. But the enchantress said that this bottle cap was enchanted. It had two glowing purple stripes. She explained that each stripes' light will slowly fade when a year was over. Two stripes, two years. She also explained that if he looked inside the bottle cap, he could see anything he wanted. The bottle cap was his only key to the outside world.
If he could love another and earn her love in return by the time the last stripe fades away, then the spell would be broken. If he could not, then he would remain in this stage forever.
The canary kept himself hidden inside his hollow, ashamed of how he looked and full of hopelessness. For who could ever learn to love
… A beast
A/N: So far so good?
