A/N: This is my retelling of the Sleeping Beauty story, but this just starts out like it. It's different after the first chapter. Enjoy and review.
Seven faries sat at a table with golden plates. Two figures sat at the head of the table, one holding a child with a small amount of dark hair. "Now it is time. Please, come with us to the front hall."

"Certianly." "Don't mind if I do." "But I'm still hungry." "You're always hungry." "Oooh fun. Front Halls." "Is this real gold?" "I've had a perfectly wonderful evening. This wasn't it."

"Belladona, you first, if you please."

"Thank you, your Highness. My gift to this child is Dexterity and Agility. She will have an extraordinary amount of both."

"I'm sure she will tresure it. Amano Lilli, please come foreward."

"My gift to this child is Keen Eyesight in the night and daytime."

"Thank you very much Amano Lilli. Lamanera."

"I give this child the ability to Walk Without a Sound in her Bare Feet. This includes all surfaces."

"Wonderful. Cynthia Cylorme."

"I give her the ability to think Quickly and Decide the best course of action."

"Splendid. Daisy"

"I give her a sense of Humer. The best sense of Humer in the land."

"Ah-ahem. Inspired. Critiana Lomenta?"

"Yes. I give her the ability to tell if things work properly."

"T'will be useful. Amateo Kylomante"

"Hahahahahaha....... I give her the knack for thieving, and the desire to do so overwhelming."

"Th-Thank y-you.........." Then, the doors were flung open with great force. A wind came and blew out all the candles. Two more faries strode into the room.

"How wonderful. Thank you Amateo. I am Kilesina Rema." "And I am Yolenda Myotrasate." "And we have a gift for the child."

"I give her the gift of nimble fingers. And she will have to steal. Or she will waste away." "And my gift is this: She will never be caught but once, but when she is, she will fall down, dead." They left the hall.

"NOOOOOOOOOOO............ My lovely daughter................."

"Excuse me... maybe I can help. I can counteract some of it. Yolenda always forgets that you have to make her ugly. With beauty, you get a happy ending. So my gift to the child is beauty. She will be the most beautiful of all princesses."
