Chapter 1: Movies and Teleportation Natalie's POV
I was just hanging out at home, waiting for Quasimodo to come over so we could watch a movie. We were supposed to come over together, but he had to finish cleaning some of the bells and he said to go ahead and start the movie and that he would be there soon, so I decided to go alone so I could help get the movie ready. In the meantime, I had already made the popcorn and I was messaging Trysha, a friend of mine from DeviantArt.
She sent me a message asking, "So what are you up to?"
I answered, "I'm actually getting ready to watch Beauty And The Beast, how about you?"
She answered back, "Oh really? So am I!"
I replied back, "Oh cool! Well, I hope you have fun!"
She answered back, "You too!"
I then popped the Beauty And The Beast DVD in and I grabbed the popcorn and started eating it while I waited for the movie to come on.
Trysha's POV
I had just got through messaging with Natalie. She is a friend of mine on DeviantArt and she's very nice. She's made stuff for me and I've made stuff for her, and I've read her stories of her being with Quasimodo in the world of "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" and they were very sweet and romantic. And I actually did find it very funny that we were watching the same movie at the same time in different places. It would've been cool if we were watching it together. I then sighed and said to myself,
"I wish Natalie and I could meet and watch Beauty And The Beast together. Or better yet, I wish we could both be in it and become friends with Belle and all of the other characters. That would be fun."
I then popped in the Beauty And The Beast DVD and started eating popcorn while I saw the trailers starting to come on and I saw the options where I could skip the trailers and go straight to the movie. I grabbed the remote and I pressed the button that said "skip trailers". I then waited a second and it went straight to the movie and it had the options of "play movie", "scene selection", "bonus features", and "sneak peek". I then hit the button that said "play movie' and I sat down on my couch next to the popcorn.
I then watched as the music started to play and the scene of a meadow appear on the screen. It then started to zoom in on the castle in the background and show a glass like image of the prince as the narrator said,
"Once upon a time, in a far away land, A young prince lived in a shining castle. Although he had everything his heart desired, the prince was spoiled, selfish, and unkind."
He then continued to say as the screen showed the image of an old beggar woman holding up a rose to the prince,
"But then, one winter's night, an old beggar woman came to the castle and offered him a single rose in return for shelter from the bitter cold."
He said as the screen showed the prince shunning her away and closing the door on her,
"Repulsed from her haggard appearance, the prince sneered the gift and turned the old woman away. But she warned him not to be deceived by appearances for beauty is found within. And when he dismissed her again, the old women's ugliness melted away to reveal a beautiful enchantress."
The screen then showed the old beggar woman turning into an enchantress with the prince begging on his knees for mercy as she placed her magic wand on him as the narrator continued to say,
"The prince tried to apologize but it was too late, for she had seen that there was no love in his heart, and as punishment, she transformed him into a hideous beast and placed a powerful spell on the castle and all who lived there."
The screen then showed The Beast slashing his old portrait as a prince and covering his face in shame as the magic rose shined as the Narrator said,
"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 she had offered, was truly an enchanted rose which would bloom til his twenty first year."
The Narrator finally said as the screen faded away from the castle,
"If he could learn to love another and earn her 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 past, he fell into despair and lost all hope, for who could ever learn to love a beast?"
And the title then came across the screen.
But instead of playing the same introductory music it always played, it froze. I picked up the remote and started pushing the "pause" and "play" button as I said,
"What? Ah come on! what's the matter with this thing?!"
I then threw my remote down in frustration and said,
"Ah, how could it be scratched, I just bought it about a month ago!"
I then saw the TV shaking and I said, "What the heck?"
And I walked closer and the screen shined a bright flash in my eyes and I covered them.
I panicked as I said, "W-What's happening?!"
And all of a sudden, I felt myself being sucked into the television as I screamed in horror,
"AAAAAAHHHHHHH!"
Third Person POVwhile sitting on her bed eating popcorn, Natalie was watching the movie and she said as she watched the introduction of the film,
"Hmm, it sure would be cool to go inside the world of 'Beauty And The Beast'."
The narrator said as the screen zoomed away from the castle,
"As years past, he fell into despair and lost all hope, for who could ever learn to love a beast?"
And the title then came across the screen.
But instead of continuing on, the movie froze. Natalie then walked over to the TV and said,
"What? Why is it freezing?"
She then starting shaking the TV around and the movie still remained frozen. She then walked back over to the bed to grab the remote. She then saw something flash from behind her and turned to see the TV shining a bright flash into her face.
She covered her eyes as she said, "What's going on!?"
She then saw a blue glow on her chest and looked down to see her magic crystal necklace glowing. She then realized what was about to happen as the light started to consume her and she shouted in dismay,
"Ah, come on!"
And with that, the light consumed her and she blacked out.
