Yay i finally updated! Whoo, and that one hour special of Zatch Bell was AWESOME! Did anybody besides me see it? It had gone through all the battles that Zatch and Kiyo had fought, and Brago and Sherry made an appearance! (then again, so did a lot of other characters)

OKIES, now I'm happy. (smiles). Oh, and sorry if this chapter doesn't seem TOO funny... the next one should be funnier, i swear!

Well, it's like 12 something right now and I'm getting tired. So i'm just gonna go ahead and get this over with, 'kay?

Disclaimer: I do not own Zatch Bell or Sleeping Beauty, so leave me alone!

Sleeping Beauty

Chapter 2

Running Away into the Woods

Zatch Bell was sitting on a pillowed chair in a room with Tia and Kolulu. He was watching Tia walk back and forth, her hands behind her back and she was shaking her head. Kolulu was trying to comfort her with nice things to say and all this other goody goody stuff.

"Come on, have a cup of tea. Things will work out!" said Kolulu enthusiastically. She tilted her head to the side when the other shook her red head.

"A bonfire cannot even stop Zophise, but what will?" Tia looked around the room. Zatch was still staring at everybody oddly, wondering what was going on.

"Zatch, do you have anything to say?" asked Kolulu, turning her head around.

"Not really…" He shrugged. "Whoever this Zophise person is, maybe you could reason with him?" the mamodo suggested.

"With Zophise?" Tia snorted and shook her head.

"Well, he can't be all that bad…"

"Zophise cursed Princess Sherry! That is about as bad as it gets!" Tia snapped.

"Actually, there's worse." said Zatch, now turning a pale color. The other two just looked at him curiously and asked what. He looked up at them with wide eyes and spoke, "Running out of yellow tail!" he cried.

They only looked at him strangely. "What's yellow tail?" asked Kolulu. "Is it a tail that is yellow?"

"IT'S FISH!" answered Zatch. "Come on; don't tell me you didn't know what it meant?" She shook her head and the blonde sighed. "Something is wrong… And why isn't Kiyo here?"

"Kiyo?" inquired Tia and Zatch nodded. "Oh, now I know where I heard that name. He's Prince Brago's loyal servant, and is always trying to do his best to serve the prince."

"Brago…?" the blonde tilted his head to the side, and then his eyes lit up with realization. "Oh! I know who he is! He's that mamodo who came to visit Kiyo and me with Sherry!"

There was a silence, and the others looked at Zatch as if he was mental. "…Are you OK?" asked Kolulu, putting her hand up to the blonde's forehead. "You don't have a fever…"

"Zatch, would you stop babbling about these things called mamodos?" asked Tia. "There's no such thing!"

"But I'm a mamodo! You two are too!"

"Nonsense. Now, we should really get thinking about what we're going to do with Princess Sherry." Tia said, changing the subject. Zatch sighed and put his head in his hands.

"Yes, we must." agreed Kolulu, and there was another silence. Then, after a minute, Tia's head shot up from looking at the ground and she had a bright smile on her face.

"I got it!" she said happily. "First, all we need to do is—" Tia stopped talking, and then looked around. Kolulu looked at her in wonder and tilted her head to the side. "Shh, even the walls have ears. Follow me!"

Tia turned around and walked over to a small doll house. Taking out her magic wand, she twirled it in the air and glitter fell down on her figure, shrinking her. She flew up into a small doll house and motioned for the others to follow. Kolulu repeated what Tia had done and flew into the small box as well. Zatch just watched as they flew in, wondering how the heck they shrunk themselves.

"I never knew that they had shape-shifting powers like Kanchome…" muttered the blonde. Two heads poked out of the house, one red and one pink, and the eyes of them stared up at Zatch.

"Aren't you coming?" asked Tia.

"Coming where?"

"Inside here!"

"Oh… was I supposed to?"

"Yes!"

"But I don't have shape shifting powers."

Tia stared at Zatch oddly. "Now why would you say something like that? Of course you don't! Now come on in here!"

"But I already told you, I don't know how to shrink myself!" whined the mamodo, and Tia gave an annoyed sigh.

"Fine, I'll do the magic for you!" Tia waved her wand and the glitter flew over to Zatch and shrunk him as well. He squealed as he saw the room grow bigger while Kolulu waved her hand over to him and told him to fly over to where they were. So he fluttered over to them and they shut the doll house door behind them.

"So what's your plan, Tia?" asked Kolulu soon as everybody had settled down.

The blonde smiled and put her hands together. "I'll turn her into a flower!"

The blonde boy put on a confused look. "Why would you turn Zophise into a flower?"

"Not Zophise, the princess!" corrected Tia, and she smiled real big. "Flowers don't have fingers, so they can't prick any fingers! The curse will not succeed if Princess Sherry is a flower!"

Kolulu also smiled real big and clamped her hands together. "She'd be a beautiful flower, Tia!"

Zatch, who didn't know why somebody would want to transform somebody into a flower, decided to ask a dumb question. "How would she breathe if she has no lungs?"

Tia was about to ramble on about something else about her plan, when she stopped talking as the other said that. Her mouth hung open in its position from being about to say something and she soon closed it. "Now really, Zatch, why did you ask that?"

"Because I want to know how she would breathe, and why would you turn her into a flower?"

"I'd cast a spell on her, you idiot!" Tia hit Zatch atop the head and he let out a cry as his hands flung to his top.

"Now why'd you do that?" he cried, tears streaming down his face.

"You big baby!" said Tia with a frown.

"Now please, let's stop arguing!" Kolulu tried to break up the two but they just kept at it. So she sighed and looked around. Some nice warm tea sounded really nice right about now…

After a few minutes of fighting, Tia stopped hitting Zatch atop the head (he had quite a few large bumps and bruises beginning to form) and went back to talking about her marvelous plan.

"This'll be the greatest idea!" she said happily. Kolulu nodded, but then an idea struck her.

"But what about when Zophise sends out a frost?" she inquired. Tia, now realizing this, sighed with unhappiness.

"You know… I really didn't think about that."

"Zophise ruins everything." said Kolulu, patting Tia on the back for reassurance.

"Yeah…" Tia sighed. "Besides, I'm sure she'd expect us to do something like that."

"I thought that Zophise was a guy…" mumbled Zatch, but he was left unheard.

Suddenly Tia's eyes lit up once again, a large smile was painted on her face and she was clapping her hands together. "Oh, I think I've come up with something better than the flower! It has to be planned carefully… a cottage, yes, three… just her, then what…? It'd be in the abandoned one… Of course the King and Queen would object—"

"Object about what?" asked Kolulu, listening to the other's babbling.

"We'll have to explain to them about two peasant women and one man raising a baby in an old cottage, deep in the forest." said Tia.

Zatch smiled. "Oh! That's so nice of them! Who are they?"

"Turn around," commanded Tia, and the other two obeyed. As they spun around, she cast a spell on them and their outfits were replaced by a different one. Kolulu was dressed in a poorly designed dress while Zatch was in a blue one. The boy took one good look at himself in a mirror that was in front of him and screamed.

"AHH I'M WEARING A DRESS!"

"You mean to say your previous outfit wasn't a dress?" asked Kolulu, putting a finger up to her mouth.

"No it wasn't! Make it a robe! NOT A DRESS!"

"Fine…" Tia waved her wand and Zatch's outfit changed to a robe—and not a dress.

After that commotion was over with, Kolulu smiled and looked over at Tia. "So… the peasants are… us?"

"That's right!" Tia nodded her head and turned her outfit into a peasant one, too.

"But I'm no peasant!" complained Zatch as he stomped his foot on the ground while tears fell down his face. "Wait… what's a peasant?" The other two just gave him odd looks again.

"Yes, we're going to take care of the baby!" said Tia happily.

"Oh, that will be most enjoyable!" Kolulu began to daydream about all they would go through. "Feeding her, clothing her and rocking her to sleep! I love it!"

"Do mamodos qualify for that type of work?" asked Zatch, but yet again he was left unheard. The other two were talking excitedly about what they would do.

"And we have our magic to help us!" said Kolulu. Tia's eyes widened and she shook her head.

"No… no… we can't use our magic."

Kolulu was puzzled. "Wha – what? No magic?"

"Nope! And I'll be taking those wands!" Tia made a grab for Kolulu's, who reluctantly let her have it. Then she snatched up Zatch's and grinned to herself.

"For sixteen years we'll have no magic?" asked Kolulu dumbstruck. "How will we manage?"

"Don't worry about it. If humans can do it, so can we!" reassured Tia. "Zophise would never suspect us to not use our magic!" The red head then began to head for the door. "We must tell Their Majesties at once."

Tia opened the door to the doll house and transformed herself to a normal size and began walking, while Zatch and Tia began to call back after her.

"I don't want to be a midget!" cried Zatch as he frantically waved his hands this way and that. Tia sighed, turned around, and cast a spell on both he and Kolulu, making them big again.

"And one more thing…" Tia said, turning around. She took her wand and waved it as it removed everybody's wings. "If we're going to look human, then we shouldn't have wings."

Zatch felt strange as he felt something being removed from his back. He put his hand behind him and felt around. "I forgot about those," he commented. "Yay I don't have wings anymore!" he cried. "I'm normal again!"

"Come on, Zatch!" Tia tugged at the mamodo's ear and led him away to go talk with the King and the Queen.

So the three of them talked to the King and Queen, telling them about their plan (actually it was Tia's plan) and about how Zophise wouldn't ever expect something like this.

Tia, Kolulu, and Zatch took Princess Sherry with them into the forest. They walked with silence, so nobody could hear them. That is… until Zatch announced something for the world to know.

"I'm hungry."

So the king and his queen watched with heavy hearts as their most precious possession, their only child, disappeared into the night.

The years were sad and lonely for King Jii and his people. But when the princess's sixteenth birthday drew near, they all rejoiced. Zophise's domain still thundered with his wrath and frustration, and he stayed up in the Forbidden Mountains. He grew more and more angered, for his prophecy had not yet been fulfilled.

There's chappy 2! Hope you liked it:-)

I have nothing really of much importance to say at the moment so I'm just gonna respond to all your nice reviews. Is that alright with you?

PsychicLunar: There's gonna be only one more person who realizes what's going on, but you'll see him in the next chappy! I WAS planning on making different characters aware of it all, but i forgot that's what i wanted to do, so when i realized that it was already too late. ButI like the choice of characters i selected to be aware of it so i'm happy. No... Zophise and Koko aren't hooked up. O.o You can call me a weirdo too, i wondered what would happen if they had a relationship. But considering that I have the same thoughts as you, I'm not going to call you a sicko. ButI don't think that Koko would be the one in love or anything... I think it'd just be Zophise who was full of lust or something, and Koko couldn't do anything about it 'cuz she is possessed. o.O That's just what i think, though. I look forward to the one shot! (i wonder what others will think...)

Rae; Well then i am glad you like it! Here is the next chappy.
