A/N: My first Asucaga fic. I suddenly came up with this idea after playing the game Kingdom Heart Re: Chain of Memories (actually, my brother played it for me... XD). I will make another based on fairytale fic with KiraLacus pairing. Hope you like it! Forgive me for the OOC-ness and the grammar mistakes…

Summary: Athrun was a handsome prince who was turned into an ugly beast by a spell. He can free from the curse only if he learned to love. What if he meets with a beautiful yet hot tempered girl named Cagalli? Fantasy fic with some twists of course. Mainly AC.

Disclaimer: Sadly, I don't own Gundam Seed and Beauty and the Beast.

PROLOGUE

Once upon a time, in a cold winter night, a young and handsome blue haired prince namely Athrun Zala was sitting inside his chamber in his luxurious castle in the middle of a forest.

Not far from the castle, an old woman walked inside the forest. She was trembling with cold and now searched for a shelter.

He sighed. He had nothing to do for tonight. All his servants, Yzak Joule the head butler, Dearka Elthman the cook, Kira Yamato his personal assistant, and Shiho Hahnenfuss the maid were doing their own job. Today, he has been visited by the annoying princess Meer Campbell from far away kingdom. She tried to flirt with him all the time. However, Athrun didn't budge. With her attitude, he felt more and more pissed. Fortunate to him, she went back to her own country at dusk.

From outside the castle, Athrun can hear a knock on the door. Annoyed, he shouted for his head butler to open the door.

"Joule, open the door!" he shouted for the silver haired butler, yet nobody answered. He tried to call for the other servants, but no one opened it.

He stormed off from his chamber to the main lobby and headed to the castle door with a disgusting face. He opened the door only to find a cold old woman.

"I-I'm sorry to disturb you, Young Prince," the woman said. Her voice was shaking.

"What do you want, old lady?" Athrun said with raising his voice a little. At that time, Yzak Joule, Kira Yamato, Dearka Elthman, and Shiho Hahnenfuss already came to the lobby.

"Forgive me, Your Majesty. You're calling for us?" Kira, the brunette man asked, lowering his head.

"Too late, Yamato. I don't need your help now," Athrun answered without looking at him. His emerald orbs focused on the old lady. "So, do you want me to repeat my question, old lady?"

The woman shook her head. "No, Your Majesty. I just want to ask you if you could allow me to stay in this castle for this night. In return, I will give you this rose. This is the only precious thing that I have," the old woman said and offered him an elegant red rose.

Athrun looked at the woman from head to toes. Her clothes were ragged and the cloak she wore was very dull. Not to mention, she has an ugly face.

Athrun smirked. "Look at yourself, old lady. You are ugly and you want to stay here? You are not worth to be here."

"I hope Your Majesty didn't judge people just by their appearance. Sometimes appearance can deceive you."

Shiho, the brunette maid began to talk, "Your Majesty, it would be wise if you allow her to stay here. The weather outside is very cold."

"I didn't need a servant's opinion and an ugly woman's advice! For the last time, I'm not allowing you to stay here. Get out of my castle, now!" he said with demanding voice.

The old woman sighed. "You are not a polite man, Young Prince." She then clasped her hands together and mumbled some words. In a second, the old woman transformed into a beautiful enchantress. She has a long black hair and brown orbs.

"How come you say that I'm ugly!?" she said in annoyance and then pointed her face. "Look at me now, Young Prince. Am I ugly!?"

Athrun and the other servants were mesmerized by her beauty. Their jaws nearly dropped and their eyes were ready to going out from their heads.

"N-No. I-I'm sorry, Lady. Can you forgive me?"

The enchantress shook her head firmly. "Nope, Young Prince. You have hurt my fragile feeling and you are not a kind man. So, I think that I should do something to make you learn."

"Please, Lady. I felt really sorry for my own stupidity," Athrun pleaded.

However, the enchantress didn't change her decision. She raised her hands and said something. "Young Prince Athrun Zala, I casted a spell on you and turned you into an ugly beast," she said and turned her attention to the servants behind Athrun. "And for you all, I turned you into household items. This castle will become dark and isolated."

The four servants then transformed into various household items.

"Cool, I become a…," Kira looked on himself. "a teacup? But I wish to transform into something cooler. Like a sword," he said in disappointment.

"A sword? She transforms us into household items, not battle items!" Dearka scolded.

Kira sent Dearka a death glare. "Well, at least I'm not square and I don't have two clock hands on my face."

Dearka sighed. "I don't wish to be a clock!"

"Shut up, Yamateacup! You too, Dearka!" Yzak interrupted.

"Hey, not fair! You called me Yamateacup and Dearka… just Dearka. Why don't you call him Dearclock Elthman?" Kira protested.

Yzak shot his piercing glare at Kira. "Look Yamato, we are no longer humans."

Shiho, who was just watching the fight, interrupted them. "Alright, gentlemen. It's not the time to fight."

"Shut up you Hahnenfuss. Look at yourself! You have a fat body and long nose. You just like Pinocchio," teased Yzak.

"What can I do!? I'm a teapot, for goodness' sake! Joule, I think your head begin to burn."

Dearka laughed at Shiho's statement. "It looks like Yzak's get a perfect shape for his hot headed nature."

The three of them laughed at Yzak's expression. He just realized that he became candelabra."

Yzak coughed and tried to cool himself. "Okay, stop. Look at our master," Yzak pointed one of his arms to Athrun.

There, in front of them, their handsome master transform into a big ugly beast. Thick brown fur covered his whole skin. His upright figure now became hunchbacked. His teeth became bigger and his face… well, became ugly.

"Impossible…," muttered Dearka.

The enchantress gazed at the ugly beast in amusement. "I think you can learn to not judge anyone from their appearance in that form. For your information, this whole curse can only be broken if you learns to love another and in return, receives other's love before the last petal of this red rose withers and falls. If not, you get your punishment. You will be remaining in this form for the rest of your life."

She then put the rose inside a glass box and bid her farewell, "Well, enjoy your life!"

After she gone, Athrun bent down on his knees and cursed himself. Somehow, he's sure that no one would ever love him.

A/N: This is just a prologue. I know that you'll be disappointed with Athrun's cruel behavior. Don't worry, this is just the beginning. If you like it, I hope you'll leave a review, so that I have the courage to continue this fic. I promise next chapter will be longer. Bye! XD
