A/N: Everyone, whether they'll admit it or not, has at least once watched a Disney movie. Because of my family duties as the official babysitter, and with my little sister's autism, I have seen almost every single Disney movie ever made almost a hundred times each. And I have to say that one of my favorites is Beauty and the Beast. And of course, next to Kingdom Hearts, FF7 is my all time favorite RPG. So, with what little of a crazed mind I have left, I decided to do a FF7/Beauty and the Beast parody.
Great Super Gohan: Oh my Kami…
Pan: Warrior Bard: Oh my…She had too much sugar again…
Super Saiyan Trunks: Oh dear…take cover…
Videl: Warrior Princess: What? ::looks at their puzzled faces and arches her right brow:: What did I do?
Great Super Gohan: Sweetie, you've been working yourself too hard again… ::puts hand on her shoulder:: Maybe that's why you're doing this. Let's go home and you can get some rest. ::smiles warmly::
Super Saiyan Trunks: I agree. You need more sleep.
Pan: Warrior Bard: Yeah mommy. You're scaring me. Go home with daddy and I'm sure *Trunks* will take me home soon…
Great Super Gohan: Over my dead body young lady… ::growls and glares at Trunks::
Videl: Warrior Princess: ::puts hand on Gohan's shoulder and smiles at him lovingly:: You are right… I *am* kinda tired, but I'm *not* crazy!
Super Saiyan Trunks: ::coughs::
Videl: Warrior Princess: ::glares at Trunks momentarily, then returns her stare to Gohan:: I thought this would be neat. But you are right, I need more rest. Let's go home, ok?
Great Super Gohan: Great! ::picks up Videl and turns to look at Pan:: C'mon Pan, let's go home. Your mom's tired.
Pan: Warrior Bard: Awww!…. but I want to stay with Trunks! ::clings to Trunks' arm::
Super Saiyan Trunks: Uh… ::gets nervous::
Great Super Gohan: Now young lady… ::glares at Pan and Trunks, but mostly at Trunks::
Videl: Warrior Princess: ::peers over Gohan's shoulder and looks at Pan and Trunks:: You can stay out, just be back at ten.
Pan: Warrior Bard: Yea! Thanks mom!
Great Super Gohan: ::gapes at Videl:: How could you do that?
Videl: Warrior Princess: How can I get any rest if our hyper daughter is with us?
Great Super Gohan: Good point.
Super Saiyan Trunks: Uh, what about the disclaimer Videl?
Videl: Warrior Princess: Oh well, since I'm going to let you two spend some time together, you two are going to be nice, grateful part-Saiyans and do it for me. Ok?
Super Saiyan Trunks: I guess we can handle that.
Great Super Gohan: Well, ok then. Cya kiddo. ::carries Videl out::
Pan: Warrior Bard: He, he, he, he, she thinks she owns *both* DBZ *and* the Disney movie, so sue her! BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Super Saiyan Trunks: Uh oh… Pan… that wasn't wise…
Videl: Warrior Princess: PAN!!!!! ::glares at Pan::
Pan: Warrior Bard: Oops! I mean she *doesn't* own DBZ and that Disney movie!!!
Videl: Warrior Princess: That's better.
Chapter One: The CurseA long time ago, in the kingdom of Nibelheim, there lived a handsome prince. He had everything his heart desired: riches, the finest sword master to train him, the finest horses, the finest training grounds, and a lavish library. But he was selfish and cold, nonchalant about the wellbeing of others.
One dark, moonless, stormy night, an old man came knocking at the castle door, begging for a place to stay for the night. His dark blue and black tattered rags were soak to the point they were beginning to tear; they smelt musty, like molding, rotting fruit; and were covered with mud. His face with filled with folds of wrinkles, another sign of his age, and liver spots, with heavy bags under his eyes from probable lack of sleep. In exchange for shelter from the turbulent storm, he would give him a single, still not fully bloomed, blue rose. However, the prince turned him away, and the old man warned him not to be deceived by appearances only, but he refused him once again. Then, the old man's haggard looks melted away into the great sorcerer Sephiroth. The prince implored Sephiroth to forgive him and give him a second chance, but Sephiroth would not hear of it.
"It is too late," Sephiroth replied in his deep voice, stretching out a hand towards the prince. "There is no love in your heart." His hand glowed a bright jade green, and the same glow surrounded the frighten prince. Dark brown fur began to grow all over his body, and when the prince tried to scream, a roar came out of his mouth. "You shall take the form of this beast." A long, bushy tail grew from the prince and dark, razor sharp claws grew from his toes and fingers and horns sprouted from his head. "Until you can truly love another and earn her true love in return, you shall remain in this body." The prince fell down to the ground on his knees and begged Sephiroth to change him back, however, Sephiroth paid him no mind and cast the spell over the entire palace and handed him two objects: a mirror, in which he could see anything, and the rose. "This rose will continue to bloom for fifteen years…if you don't find her within that time span, you will be condemned to this form forever." And before the prince could plead for forgiveness once more, Sephiroth had vanished, leaving the once arrogant prince alone with the curse.
