AN: Hey guy's I though I'd do my take on what happens when a Disney/ anime geek such as myself starts binge watching some of her favorite things. I own nothing at all.
Chapter 1: A Spoiled Prince and a Real Beauty.
Once upon a time there was a marble castle that was decorated with gold leaf, vines of roses, and looked as if the best roman architects crafted everything, and inside of it was young prince who was unmistaken for his perfectly sewn suits, spiked ginger hair, flawless complexion, women at his arms, and walls of servants. While he would often have gold and jewels like no other in the land, he was never thankful for anything, some of his gifts were never even opened and simply gathered dust, he never saw the same woman twice, and he rejected anybody asking for charity. Yet one night when snow blanketed the entire ground, a pale wrinkled woman wearing nothing but a raggedy cloak approached the castle and asked the young prince, "Will you please supply an elderly woman with some shelter from the bitter cold? I offer you a single rose as a gift." The young prince scanned the gift but spat back, "Really, you think I would give someone as ugly as you shelter in an attempt to earn a meager item?" The door was almost slammed but the beggar woman stated to him, "But sire, please note that my appearance means nothing when it comes to kindness. Real beauty lies within."
The door was instantly slammed in front of the beggar woman, and as the prince walked away, the doors rattled so fast that they literally flew open. In the old woman's place was now a glowing green haired woman that was the complete opposite of what the young prince had seen, "It is clear you have been deceived by your cold heart, not an ounce of kindness or love can be found inside of you." The prince then got on his hands and knees."Madame, please forgive me. I didn't know, I'm sorry." The enchantress ignored his words. "A curse upon you and everyone residing in this castle." Her eyes began to glow a bright gold and as the prince got on his knees, a golden light surrounded him and saw that his hands and feet turned into hairy paws with jagged claws, his own body was enlarged and arched like a wolf, and his entire face went from being a human's to that of a lion's with wildebeest horns. The light began to travel around the castle, and the servants lost their human forms to cupboards, decorations, appliances, and utensils. "The rose I give you, is your clock, it shall bloom by the time you reach your 21st year. If you can't learn to love another and earn their love in return by the time the last petal falls you shall remain a hideous beast forever." As the woman disappeared, the young prince now a beast isolated himself into his chamber in the west wing and was given both the rose and a mirror that displayed everything outside of his castle. As the months passed by, not a single soul from the outside approached him, and the beast began to sigh in the corner of his room, "What person alive could ever love someone like me? A beast."
One morning in a small provincial village, a blonde girl with large brown eyes, and a light blue maiden's dress that lightly hugged her figure complete with an ample bosom walked into town with a straw basket with a book inside. As she walked into own, a baker with bread that was piping hot approached her, "Good morning Lucy. Where are you headed off to?" "Good morning, I'm just going to the book shop to return this book about a dragon and a human." Before she could finish, the baker left off with a "That's nice but I'm busy right now." Along the way, some people arched their eyebrows and gave her an odd stare, some whispered, "She's quite an odd ball isn't she?" "What kind of girl reads for fun?" Some did not even bother, and continued to attend shops,do chores, or just have conversations. As Lucy got to the book shop inside was a tall yet elderly man counting the books, "Ah, Lucy I'm glad you're here." The blonde giggled, "Why wouldn't I be? After all this is my favorite area in this small town." As Lucy scanned over the books, the owenr asked, "So what book would you like to see?" The blonde maiden then picked at a book bound with a purple cover, "I love this one, it has adventures, sword fights, magic, and a prince in disguise. I've read it before yet I could never put it down." He smiled and stated, "Well, if you love it that much, take it." "Really?" "I insist Lucy, now go out and read to your heart's content." Lucy shook his hand, "Thank you very much." Lucy then continued on her route and her nose was practically stuck in the book the entire time. But the gossip about her continued, "That girl may be beautiful, but she's so strange." "Her name does mean light, but she seems to be in her own little world isn't she?"
Meanwhile, in another corner of town a man in shining armor with dark red hair completed a perfect joust. "Ah, another day for the world's greatest knight. If I do say so myself." At his side a light blue cat with glasses stated, "I am in full agreement Dan." The knight then took the light blue cat by his scruff, "Ah, and to make it even better, that girl over there is going to be my wife, Samuel." Samuel's eye's were dinner plates for one second, "Lucy, but according to my calculation's she's..." Dan released the cat. "The most beautiful girl in this town, which make her the best. I'm the town's greatest knight, so I deserve the best, so that girl is going to be my wife." As Lucy went on her way and walked towards her house, Dan jumped right in front of her. "Hello, Lucy." "Good morning Dan." Instantly, Dan snatched Lucy's book out of her hands. "Dan, may I please have my book." The knight began to flip through the pages, "But Lucy, how can you even read something like this, there's no pictures in this book." Lucy rolled her eyes, "Well some people just like to use their imagination." Dan then flinged her book into the mud. " It's time for you to think about more important things Lucy, like me. Reading is not normal for a woman like you. The whole town in practically gossiping about it." As Lucy reached for her book and cleaned it off Dan continued. "When a woman reads, she starts thinking and getting ideas. So how about we go to the tavern to look a my jousting records, and game hunt trophies."Lucy turned away and responded, "That would be nice, but I need to help Makorav." Samuel then hovered over, "According to my calculations, that old man is nothing more than an old coot." Dan and the cat began to laugh, but Lucy paused and snapped back at them, "Don't talk about Makarov that way, he took me in when I needed a guardian." Dan then bopped Samuel on the head, "Yeah, don't talk about Makarov that way." As if on cue, there was colorful smoke in the distance. "Oh no." Lucy then rushed back to the source of the smoke and went inside to see a short man with white hair and a mustache.
"Makarov? Are you okay?" He came out coughing, "Not really, this stupid dye mixing machine is not even trying to work. Ooh, I give up." Lucy then came down to his level, "Oh come on you always say that. I believe in you Makarov. Your invention is going to help people, especially when you show it at the fair tomorrow." He turned around, "Do you really think so?" "I know so." Within seconds Makarov went underneath the contraption with a wrench in hand. "Lucy, could you please hand me that multi gizmo in my tool box. " As she fulfilled the request she asked her guardian, "Makarov, do you think I'm odd?" He slid out, "Why Lucy, why would you even think that?" "Oh I don't know it's just that I don't think I fit in here, aside from the book shop owner, there's nobody who I can really talk to around here." As Makorav went underneath his machine he asked, "What about that Dan Straight, I mean he's handsome isn't he?" Lucy rolled her eyes at that name, "Oh he's handsome alright, and rude, and conceited and a big pervert." As Makarov removed himself from his contraption he pulled a switch, "Let's see if it works." As the machine started to whirl and exhaust steam, the colors inside of it began to mix like a blender and underneath a nozzle, a puff of purple smoke instantly changed an ivory cloth to violet. "It works." Makarov's eyes lit up, "It does, It's time to get Plue ready, Lucy. I'm off to the fair." As Makarov was set up on the white clydesdale, Lucy attached the wagon to him and waved as he trotted away. "Good bye Makarov, I'll see you soon."
As Makarov and Plue headed off on their way, the sun's glow eventually began to dim as he entered a thicket of trees completely bare of any leaves, and bark that was thick and chipped like a bad callus. As Makarov scanned his map, he came across a fork in the road yet leaned towards an area coated with a fog so thick that Plue could barely see his own hooves. HOWWWWL! Heard the pair. As Makarov's hand quaked and looked at the map he murmured into his horses ear. "Plue, I think it's time to turn around." The noise they heard came closer, HOOOOWWWWLL! In seconds three wolves jumped in front of the white Clydesdale and he jumped on his hind legs before Makarov tumbled off and watched his horse run away from him. As Makarov dusted off the grime from his body and slowly got up, the wolves in the distance approached him, GRRRR! HOWWWWWL! As the large grey wild animals came rushing towards him with clenched teeth, and squinting yellow eyes while growling and barking, Makarov trembled as he ran away in the thick fog.
As he tripped and tumbled across the path coated with cracks, roots and rocks, he found himself at gates that could belong to a haunted house. Hearing the growls of the wolves coming closer Makarov shook the gates, "Hello, is anyone there? Please let me in." As he kept shaking he pushed one of the gate doors with ease, and slammed it behind him as he made it to the other side. As he walked forward, he saw that there was a castle coated with rotting vines and thorns, chipped marble that lost its luster, and not a single soul was seen from any of the cracked windows. Desperately, Makarov knocked on the door, but barged in as soon as rain came down as fast as the lightning that followed it. "Hello, I'm sorry to barge in but is anyone here?" A voice whispered, "The poor guy looks cold." Another voice the answered, "If we stay still, he'll go away." Makarov then called out, "Hello, I've lost both my way and my horse, I wish to cause no trouble but I would like some help please." The statue that looked like a half dressed man that was attached to the clock, whispered to the candelabra statue with pink spiky hair and a white scarf. "Not one word, Natsu." The candelabra rolled his eyes. "Oh come on, he's not doing anything bad, he's just lost." As Makarov heard the voice he picked up the candelabra statue. "Is anyone there?" As he bought him to his face Natsu simple said, "Hi there."
