Hi again. . . I have to do the disclaimer thing. X-Files belongs to Carter
and Co. Lyra Silvertongue was kind enough to point out that Sleeping Beauty
does not entirely belong to Disney. . . but the version I'm using does. . .
hope that clears things up a lil (thanks hon). Thanks for the encouraging
reviews. . . hope you enjoy this part.
Sleeping Scully, part 3
God-Fathers' Cottage
Dana strode up to the quiet house. She heard a clatter when she rode up and quickly took to side-saddle. No one came out of the house though. She entered the dark cottage. "Uncles? Are you in here?" She called out, still wondering where the noise had come from.
"Happy Birthday, Dana!" They jumped out of the corner and turned on the light. On the table was a cake with pink icing like the sunset and gown the color of the ocean.
"Oh my, you dear men. This is so wonderful. Thank you so much. This gown is lovely." She walked over and gently touched the fine silk and lace of the dress. "When am I going to wear it though?"
"Tonight, when we take you home." Sir John mysteriously announced.
"Home? But Uncles. . . I am home." She finished quietly.
"Dana, we need to tell you something. You're now twenty-one years old and we feel that it is the proper time for you to return to your parents, the King and Queen of Scully." Sir Melvin watched her turn pale at the mention of her parents.
"My parents are dead, you told me that Sir Melvin. King and Queen of Scully? That makes me a--"
"Princess," they all chimed in. Sir John continued. "When you were born you were betrothed to the Prince of Mulder. The time has come for us to return you to you parents, so you can be wed.
"I can't marry him! I love someone else. I met him this afternoon. His name is William, and he's coming here tonight!" She began to sob as Sir Ringo neared her. She backed away from them.
"I'm sorry child, but you must forget him. You are Princess Katherine of Scully. We had you here to protect you. Now it is time for you to move on in your life. You must see your parents. We leave this night." Sir Ringo explained to her.
"No--" she whispered and ran to her room, sobbing on her bed.

Mulder Palace
"Father! Father where are you?! I have wonderful news for you!" Fox rode into the courtyard of his father's palace.
"What is it son? Where have you been? Princess Katherine is returning to Scully tonight and we must announce your marriage to her." King William took his son's hand and lead him into the palace.
"No, father. I met the woman I'm going to marry. Her name is Dana. She's wonderful father. I know it, I mean I hardly know her but I know she's the one. I must return to her." He walked back to his horse, his father hot on his heals.
"Fox William! You have an obligation to your Kingdom and to King William of Scully! You must marry Katherine!" He yelled after his son as he rode off into the approaching sunset.
* ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ *
The Magical God-Fathers led Princess Katherine into the palace grounds unnoticed. They quietly crept up the stairs to the Princess' private chambers. "Sit here Katherine. We have a last gift for you, your Highness." Sir Melvin went over to Sir John and Sir Ringo and took the wrapped package.
Katherine looked at the box and back at them. "I'm Dana. I don't even know who Katherine is." She said through her tears.
"You will grow to know her. She is you." Sir Ringo said. "Everything will soon fall into place. Have faith dear child."
Sir John laid hands on the two other men. They left her alone to open the gift and have a moment alone. Once they were gone she lifted the lid. Inside was a simple but elegant gold crown. She took it out and silently sobbed. She did not want to marry Prince Fox of Mulder. She loved William.
She walked over to the mirror to try on the crown. Her dress caught on the edge of the table and tore. "Oh no!" She cried out. She silently cursed the dress meant for a princess. She knew she had to face the King and Queen to find the truth. First, she needed to repair the small tear.
In the corner was a spinning wheel. She walked over and took a seat, pulling up the torn section of her gown. She set up the wheel but was at an awkward angle. She reached out and pricked her finger on the needle of the spindle. "Ow," she whispered as she brought her to her mouth.
Katherine felt her body go numb and then everything went black as she hit the grown. Outside the princess's godfathers heard the crash and bolted into the room to find the princess sprawled out on the floor.
Sir John lifted up her hand to find a tiny prick on her finger. "Even when he's not here, he really is."
"My God, what will her parents say? All these years, it had to happen now." Sir Ringo said.
"I hope we can think of something for her sake." Sir Melvin helped Sir John carry her over to the large bed. They laid her down carefully on the bed and walked out of the room, locking the door.
"They won't know. The whole Kingdom will sleep." They all left and spread out over the Kingdom, gently touching the shoulder of each person, putting them into a deep sleep.
When Sir Ringo came to the King of Mulder, he whispered something in Sir Ringo's ear. "Talk some sense into my son. He must marry. . . not Dana."
Putting the puzzle together Sir Ringo realized that the man 'Dana' met was actually Prince Fox of Mulder-- his middle name being William like his father.
Sir Ringo told this to Sir John and Sir Melvin. "We have to get to the cottage! He can break the spell." Sir Melvin yelled as he ran to the horses and they rode off into the night.
