Beauty and the Beast Hetalia Editon
(The Start of an Adventure)
Back at the small cottage where Milan and her father Romano live, Prussia and Sealand stare at it from behind a bush. "Heh! Oh boy! Milan's gonna get the surprise of her life, huh Prussia." said Sealand smiling and looking up to Prussia who was now dressed a bit more fancy. "Yep. This is her lucky day!" said Prussia as he let go of the branch he was holding. The branch swings back and smacks Sealand in the face leaving a bunch of leaves in his mouth. Prussia turns around to face a band, wedding guests and others that have gathered just out of sight of Milan's home. "I'd like to thank you all for coming to my wedding. But first, I better go in there and... propose to the girl!" chuckled Prussia as everyone laughed at that last part while the three blond girls cried. "Now Sealand, when Milan and I come out that door.." "Oh I know, I know! I strike up the band!" said Sealand interupting Prussia as he waves a little baton making the band start playing "Here comes the Bride". "Not yet!" said Prussia as he slammed a baritone over Sealand's head. "Sorry!" said Sealand as his lips poked out of the mouth peice.
As Milan sat inside her home reading her book paitently awaiting her father's return she heard a knock at the door. She sat her book down making sure her place was saved as she went to see who was here. She pulls down viewing device her father made and peeks through only to Prussia at the door and because of the device with a fish eye. Milan moans and rolls her eyes not really wanting to open the door to speak with him. Prussia opens the door and struts in with a smirk on his face. "Prussia, what a pleasant... Surprise." said Milan backing away from the man. "Isn't it though? I'm just full of surprises. You know, Milan. There's not a girl in town who wouldn't love to be in your shoes. This is the day..." said Prussia only to be distracted by his face in a mirror. He stops for a moment and licks his teeth clean. "This is the day your dreams come true." he said smirking still. "What do you know about my dreams Prussia?" said Milan now between the table and the fireplace. "Plenty. Here, picture this!" says Prussia as he plops down into the chair Milan had been reading in.
He propped his muddy feet up on her book and begins to kick his boots off. Once his shoes are off he wiggles his toes through his hole filled socks. "A rustic lodge, my latest kill roasting on the fire, and my little wife, massaging my feet, while the littleones play in the floor withthe dogs." says Prussia as Milan looks positiviely disgusted at this point. "We'll have six or seven." says Prussia as he gets up next to Milan's face. "Dogs?" says Milan takeing her book and wipeing it off. "No Milan! Strapping boys, like me!" he says as he beats his chest reminding Milan of a gorilla. "Imagine that." says Milan as she closes the book and puts it away on the shelf. "And do you know who that wife will be?" said Prussia as he followed Milan. "Let me think." she says as she trys to scoot away only to get cornered by Prussia. "You, Milan!" says Prussia starting to really creep Milan out. "Prussia, I'm speechless. I really don't know what to say..." she says as she ducks under his arm and backs away from him more.
Prussia began to push chairs and things out of his way until he reachef Milan and traped her against the door. "Say you'll marry me." he says not noticing Milan reaching for the door knob. "I'm very sorry, Prussia, but.. I just don't deserve you." said Milan as she finally found the door knob. She quickly turns the knob and ducks under Prussia as the door opens sending him tumbleing out the door and into the mud. The band begins to play not realizing that the plan had backfired. Milan tosses Prussia's boots out the door and slams the door shut behind her. Sealand looks down while directing the band to find Prussia's legs sticking up out of the mud, and a cute little pig's head sticking up as well. Sealand cuts off the band, and Prussia's head pops up with the pig on top of him. He tilts his head and the pig slides off. "So... how'd it go?" asked Sealand as he tried to hold in laughter. Prussia picks up Sealand by the neck and glares at him angrily. "I'll have Milan for my wife, make no mistake about that!" growled Prussia as he drops Sealand in the mud and walks off having been rejected.
The door to the cottage opens a little and Milan pokes her head out timidly. "Is he gone?" she askes the little chickens that are pecking nearby. They nod yes and she walks out of the cottage and picks up a pail of feed. "Can you imagine, he asked me to marry him. Me, the wife of that boorish, brainless..." she says as she tosses feed out for the animals. "Madame Prussia, can't you just see it? Madame Prussia, his little wife. Not me, no sir, I guarantee it. I want much more than this provincial life!" Sings Milan as she feeds the animals. Once done she runs out into the open field over looking a beautiful river surrounded by trees and mountains. "I want adventure in the great wide somewhere! I want it more then I can tell.. and for once.. it might be grand. To have someone... understand I want so much more than they've got planned..." she sings as she plays with soemn dandilion fluff. As the wind blows it from her hands she see's Phillipe running up to her with out her father. "Phillipe! What are you doing here? Where's Papa? Where is he, Phillipe? What happend? We have to find him, you have to take me to him!" said Milan as panic and worry filled her voice.
Milan quickly unhitches Phillipe from the wagon and rides off to Beast's castle. "What is this place?" she says looking up at the scary looking castle. Phillipe snorts and moves nervously as if something is frightening him. "Phillipe, please, steady." says Milan as she dismounts and comforts the horse. She enters the gate finding Romano's hat. "Papa..." she says softly getting even more worried now. Milan heads up to the castle and heads in side hoping that her father is alright. "Couldn't keep quiet, could we? Just had to invite him to stay, didn't we? Serve him tea, sit in the master's chair, pet the pooch." Britain says angrily as he acts out each thing. "I was trying to be hospitable..." pouted France as he crossed his arms. The castle door's opened and Milan walked into the dark enchanted castle. "Hello? Is anyone here? Hello? Papa? Papa, are you here?" she says as she looks around in the darkness. Milan walks up the grand staircase searching for her father. The little tea cup sees her and quickly rushes off to the kitchen.
In the kitchen the little cup's mother is sitting next to a bucket of warm soapy water. "Momma. There's a girl in the castle!" said the cup as he hopped over to his mother. "Now, Chibitalia, I won't have you making up such wild stories." said the teapot as she hopped down from the edge of the bucket. "But really, momma, I saw her!" said Chibitalia trying to make his mom believe him. "Not another word. Into the tub." said the teapot lifting little chibitalia into the bucket as the feather duster comes in. "A girl! I saw a girl in the castle!" says the feather duster showing that Chibitailia was telling the truth. "See, I told ya!" he said pokeing his head out of the water. Britain and France continued to argue about who was in the wrong when it came to helping Romano. "Irresponsible, devil-may-care, waxy-eared, slack-jawed..." says Britain all the while France is mimicing him until they both hear Milan calling out for her father. "Papa?" came Milan's soft voice as she walked the dark hallways of the castle.
Britain and France both looked at each other for a moment. before turning to see Milan walking down the hallway. "Did you see that?" said France before he quickly ran to the door to be sure he had not seen things. "It's a girl!" shouted France happily. "I know it's a girl!" said Britain as he crossed his arms. "Don't you see? She's the one! The one we've been waiting for! She's come to break the spell!" shouted France happily as he spun around with Britain before taking off down the hallway. "Wait a minute, wait a minute!" shouted Britain as he tried to slow France down. Britain took off doing his best to keep up with France. "Papa?" said Milan as she keept searching. Behind her France and Britain quickly open the door to the tower causing it to make a creaking noise. "Papa?" said Milan a bit startled by the sudden noise. Britain hides behind the door while France rushes up the stairs. "Hello? Is someone here?" said Milan as she slowly entered the tower. She's sees the light of France's candles advancing up the stairs and chases after. "Wait! I'm looking for my father! I..." she says but stops as she sees the light move away faster.
She quickly heads up the stairs hoping to catch up with France. "That's funny... I'm sure there was someone. I...Is anyone here?" says Milan as she walks by France who is pretending to be a normal candlestick. "Milan?" comes Romano's voice from a nearby cell. "Papa!" crys out Milan as she rushes over and grabs a torch for light. "How did you find me?" asks Romano as he reaches his hand through the bars. "Oh, your hands are like ice. We have to get you out of here." says Milan as she takes her father's hand. Romano coughs as Milan looks for a way to open the cell. "Milan, I want you to get the hell out of this place." said Romano worrying for his daughter's safety. "Who's done this to you?" said Milan as she still held her father's cold hand. "No time to explain. You must go... now!" says Romano in a panic. "I won't leave you!" says Milan shortly before she is grabbed by the shoulder and whipped around by Germany.
Milan dropped the torch causing it to land in a puddle of water leaving the only light a single beam of moonlight from a hole in the roof. "What are you doing here?" growled Germany as he stayed in the shadows. "Run, Milan!" cries out Romano. "Who's there? Who are you?" said Milan a bit frightend but determined not to leave her father. "The master of this castle." growls Germany as moves in the shadows his long cape whipping around his body defensively. "I've come for my father. Please let him out! Can't you see he's sick." says Milan pleading with Germany only being able to see his blue eyes. "Then he shouldn't have trespassed here!" growls Germany angrily. "But he could die! Please I'll do anything!" said Milan begging with her father's captor. "There's nothing you can do. He's my prisoner." growled Germany as he looked away from Milan and moved through the shadows. "Oh, there must be some way I can... wait!" said Milan as she thought of a way to save her father.
Germany stopped in front of Milan with his back faceing her turning only his head to glare at her. "Take me instead!" said Milan decideing to sacrifice her self for her only family. "You?!" growled Germany as he looked away. "You...would take his place?" said Germany as his face softened in surprise. "Milan! No! You don't know what the hell you're doing!" pleads Romano hoping to change Milan's mind. "If I did, would you let him go?" says Milan as she looks nervously towards her father hoping this would work. "Yes. But... you must promise to stay here forever." said Germany his voice being much softer now than before. Milan thinks about it some and relizes she has yet to see face of the captor as she peers into the darkness. "Come into the light..." she says looking towards Germany with a curious look. Germany inches slowly into the light first with his feet then slowly the rest of him and looks down at Milan.
Frightened a bit Milan gasps and falls back to her father. "No, Milan! I wont let you do this!" cries out Romano trying to make his daughter run. Milan regains her composure and steps into the light with a soft sad look upon her face. "Done!" said Germany quickly moving before Milan could change her mind. Milan falls to her knees her face buried in her hands as Romano rushes over to her once freed. "No, Milan! Listen to me. I'm old, I've lived my life.." says Romano as Germany grabs him and drags him downstairs. "Wait!" cries out Milan as he father is dragged away. "Milan!" cries out Romano as he reaches for his daughter. "Wait!" pleads Milan as her father is dragged further away. Germany drags Romano outside of the castle and to a large carriage. "No, please spare my daughter!" cries out Romano still trying to convince the beast. "She's no longer your concern." growls Germany as he throws Romano into the carriage. "Take him to the village." says Germany as the carriage springs to life breaking the ivy that holds it to the earth. Moving much like a spider the carriage does as it's master says all the while Romano begging to be let out.
Milan looks out the window of the cell and cries a bit as Germany walks past France. "Master?" says France timidly as Germany walks by. "What?" growls Germany angrily. "S-since our guest is going to be with us for quite some time, I was thinking that you might want to offer her a more comfortable room..." says France as he gulps nervously. Germany growls angrily at him and France gulps once again. "Then again... maybe not." said France as Germany walks back to the top of the tower and goes to the cell where Milan sits crying. Milan notices Germany coming back. "You didn't even let me say good-bye... I'll never see him again... I didn't even get to say good-bye." said Milan as she cries more. Germany scratches the side of his head feeling horrible now as Milan cries. "I'll show you to your room..." said Germany softly to her as he turns to leave the cell. "My room?" says Milan confused as she thought she was a prisoner. "But I thought..." she started to say only to be cut off my Germany. "You wanna stay in the tower?" said Germany as he spread his arms indicating Milan would be stuck there otherwise. "No..." said Milan softly as she dried her eyes. "Then follow me." said Germany as he left the cell.
Milan stood and followed Germany through the dark castle falling behind just a little as she looked at everything. Germany leads the way while carrying France to light the path. She looks up at the sculptures of hideous monsters and gasps a bit in fear. Quickly shes runs over to Germany and keeps up this time as a small tear falls from her eyes. "Say something to her." says France in a low whisper so that only Germany would hear. "Um.. oh. I uh.. hope you like it here." said Germany softly as he looked to France for approval. France motions for him to continue the conversation. "The castle is your home now, so you can go anywhere you like, except for the west wing." said Germany as he looked back to Milan. "What's in the west wing?" said Milan getting a bit curious. "It's forbidden!" growls Germany unable to really control his temper. Frightened a bit by his outburst Milan leans back a little but continues to follow Germany to her room none the less.
They arrive at large double doors and Germany opens one of the doors for Milan. The room was a very nice large room with a four poster bed with a purple rose carved into the foot board. "Now if you need anything, my servants will attend you." said Germany as Milan slowly entered the room. "Dinner.. invite her to dinner." whispered France as he nudged Germany a bit. "You will... join me for dinner! That's not a request!" growled Germany as his anger got to him once again. He slams the door leaving Milan alone in the room. She runs over to the bed and throws her self on to it and begins to cry even more.
