Sleeping Beauty

Chapter 4

Surprise, Surprise

Brago continued to gawk in horror as his book reader continued to dance around with a bunch of animals dressed up in his clothing. HIS clothing! Now why the hell were they doing that?

The mamodo's eye twitched a little as he endured on with the dancing and singing of love songs. Sherry twirled around and her hair flew behind her. She smiled again, still unaware of his presence, and went on with what she was doing.

A random thought then penetrated into Brago's head… If Sherry was here, then his book must be close by… He looked around, but unfortunately for him the black book was nowhere in sight, and the blonde over there didn't show any signs of possessing it.

With a growl, Brago then and there decided that his nerves were reaching their limits, so he gruffly walked out from the bushes (Sherry still unaware of his presence) and snatched up the animals wearing his clothes. The blonde merely began to dance by herself with her eyes shut. Quickly, Brago began to put on his shirt and shoes while the other animals just watched the scene. After a few moments he was done getting dressed again and he turned around only to be run into by the singing blonde.

"Once upon a dream… Oh!" Sherry stopped twirling around and dancing when she landed right into the arms of the dark mamodo.

Brago, realizing that he was now holding onto her, let go quickly but grabbed her arm again when Sherry made to run off. "Where the hell do you think you're going?" he snapped at her, and she stared in shock.

"No one's ever used that language with me, mister!" Sherry frowned and Brago looked at her in bewilderment.

"What are you talking about?" he asked. "I talk this all the time with you!"

"But I've never even met you before!" the other exclaimed. "How can you say we've met before?" she asked. As she spoke this, her mind wandered off back to the song she was singing and how she had 'met' somebody in it. This new person did look an awful lot like the man in her dreams…

If Brago was ever very, very, VERY confused in his life, then this was the moment! He stared at Sherry with an odd look and sputtered out a "What!" Something terribly weird was going on… How could she not remember him? She was his book-reader for crying out loud! But where was his book…?

"I'm sorry," Sherry began, "You do look familiar, like the one that I've seen in my dreams, it's just I've never met you in my entire life."

"Foolish girl," Brago said angrily. "Of course you've met me! You're my book-reader for the battle for king!"

The other just frowned. "I am not foolish and I have not met you before."

"Yes you have."

"No I haven't."

"Yes you have, now admit it."

"No I have not, and I will not admit it."

"Come on!"

"I won't!"

"You have met me!"

"I have not."

"Have too."

"Have not."

"Have too."

"Have too."

"Have not."

"Ha! You see, I haven't met you!" Sherry let out a laugh as the mamodo stared at her angrily. Brago only rolled his eyes and sighed with frustration.

"Humans can be so annoying…" At this statement, Sherry stared at Brago strangely.

"Hey… What's that supposed to mean? You are human, aren't you?" she asked and the other shook his head.

"Hell no; I'm a mamodo."

"What's that?"

Brago gave another annoyed look. "Let's just say that I'm a demon."

Sherry's eyes then widened in horror as soon as she heard that. "You're… a demon?" He nodded her head. "Oh dear… Please don't hurt me!"

The dark mamodo stared. "Why would I hurt you? You're my book reader."

Sherry sighed. "Whatever. I still have no idea what you're talking about, though. Perhaps you could explain at a later time?"

The other just shrugged. Brago really didn't want to have to explain everything to Sherry all over again. That would just irritate him even further. "Fine."

With a smile, Sherry turned around. "Good. Now, if you'll excuse me I really have to get going now. I'm not allowed to talk to strangers, which means I really shouldn't be talking to you. Goodbye."

With that, the blonde began to walk off but was stopped by Brago grabbing her shoulder. "Wait!" he called and the other turned around. She gave him a look that was asking 'what is it', and he answered. "I haven't seen you in a while, and I can't just let you leave like this. Am I going to see you soon?"

Sherry laughed. "Oh, never. Never again."

"Never?"

"Mm… Maybe sometime soon…"

"When?"

"How about this evening? In a cottage deep in the forest? Is that good?" she asked, staring into Brago's ruby red eyes.

Brago thought to himself. Now why were they having this discussion? Normally he wouldn't let her leave without a fight, but here he found himself arranging when to meet her again. So strange… Finally after a moment the mamodo spoke up. "Yes, that will be fine."

The blonde gave a large smile and laughed. "That's great! I'll see you soon!" She was about to turn around again and run off, but she quickly walked up to Brago and gave him a kiss on the cheek. Immediately afterwards she bolted off into the forest while Brago's hand flew to his cheek where he kissed him. He stared behind with a blank face.

What just happened?

-o-o-o-o-o-

Meanwhile, back at the cottage, everybody was preoccupied with something. Zatch was standing on a stool with the pink fabric draped all over him in a form that looked like a poor excuse for a dress. Tia was standing next to him; her right hand rubbing her chin while her left hand supported her elbow to hold it up. Kolulu was putting all the ingredients for the birthday cake all together in a mix.

Zatch peeked through a small hole in the fabric with swirled eyes, tears streaming down his cheeks. "I hate pink!" he cried. "Vulcan would be so ashamed if he saw me! Why do I have to go through this torture?" He began crying.

"Oh, Zatch just shut up already and hold still." Tia began to arrange the garment around in different positions to try and attempt to make it look like the dress in the picture book. Hold still, Shorty.

"You're short, too!"

"Hmm… This doesn't look that right." Kolulu muttered to herself as she examined the cake dough. She took a small bite to taste it but wrinkled up her nose in disgust and spat it out. "That tastes horrible!"

"Well, what would you expect from your cooking?" Tia asked smartly. Kolulu glared at her.

"Hey, it's not that bad! You should try your own cooking!"

"I prefer not to."

"Zatch! Help me out here!"

Unfortunate for the pink-haired girl, it was now Zatch who was ignoring her. He was too busy crying to himself about wearing pink.

After a few more minutes of trying to get everything settled, Kolulu threw her hands into the air and cried. "Oh, this is horrible! Dreadfully, awfully, horrible! I am going to get the wands! This is a mess!"

The red head just watched as Kolulu stomped to go upstairs and get the magic wands. She turned around to face Zatch. "You know… she's right… for once."

"About what?" asked the lightning mamodo, who wasn't paying attention. That earned him a thwack on the head from Tia. Seconds later, Kolulu came rushing down the stairs.

"Here they are! Just as good as they were when we last used them sixteen years ago!" said the girl happily as she handed everyone a wand. Zatch just stared at his, still not knowing what to do with it. Tia looked at hers and then looked around.

"Wait," she began, "Before we use magic, we must take precaution!" With a wave of her wand, Tia closed all the doors and windows in the entire cottage. They were soon wrapped in darkness, and Zatch let out a scream.

"AAAH!" he cried, looking around. "It's so dark! Where'd the light go?"

"Zatch, stop being a baby and start cleaning up the mess we have in here." said Tia, turning on a few candles. "We can work in the dark. Now let's get working! Rosy could be back any time now!"

So the three began to use their magic (Actually, Zatch didn't do anything except by hand) to help out in their work. Kolulu cast a spell on the different tools and commanded them to create a cake while Tia began casting spells on the clothing, telling it to form a dress and to make it look exactly like what it did in a book. The poor lightning mamodo just walked around glumly and began picking up trash. The others paid no heed to his upsetting mood.

After a while, they all managed to create the dress and cake. Zatch only made a mess instead of cleaned it up for he found a yellow tail hidden in one of the cabinets. He threw everything out of the way so he could get to the fish and began consuming it in large bites. Kolulu and Tia stared at him as he began chomping down on the food.

"Zatch!" they both cried and the other gave a confused look.

"Oh, did you want some?"

"Look at the mess you made!" exclaimed Tia, pointing to the different boxes of food on the floor that Zatch had thrown. The blonde turned his head around and stared at it all.

"Oops…"

Suddenly, they all heard singing. Kolulu ran over to a window and slightly cracked it to see where the noise was coming from. "It's Rosy!" she cried. "She's back!"

"Quick, let's clean up this mess so our Rosy can have a birthday party!" said Tia, and she cast another spell to make the mess that Zatch made clean up on its own. Soon everything was tidy again and they all hid in a corner, when Sherry soon entered the door. She stopped singing the love song from before and looked around the room.

But unaware to the blonde, somebody was watching her. Koko, the servant of the evil Zophise, had found her walking through the woods. She had thought back to her master's words and how she was supposed to look for a girl of certain characteristics, and Sherry had all of them described. So she followed her secretly behind, and was now peering through the cottage door, listening on to the conversations.

"Hello? Zatch, Kolulu, Tia? Are you here?" Suddenly, the blonde's attention was drawn to the birthday cake and dress over on the table across the room. "Oh!"

"Surprise! Happy birthday!"

Sherry jumped as the others hopped out of their hiding places, smiles placed on their faces. The birthday girl smiled and laughed. "Oh, this is the happiest day of my life! Everything's so perfect!" she said, twirling around the room. "And just wait 'til you meet him!"

Tia froze, and Kolulu stared. "'Him'?" asked the red-head. "You met some stranger? Rosy!"

The other shook her blonde head. "Oh, no, no, no. He's no stranger. I've met him before!" Without warning Sherry began to sing the love song from before. She began singing in the song how she had met the one in her dreams, who was actually Brago (But she still didn't know his name yet).

"Oh dear…" said Kolulu unhappily. Zatch gave an inquiring look.

"What's wrong, Kolulu?"

"She's in love," said Tia, answering the question.

"Oh, that's great!" Zatch said happily. "Who's she in love with?"

"Whoever the stranger is." Kolulu answered sadly. She turned her attention back to Sherry. "Dear, I'm sorry, but you're betrothed."

Startled, Sherry stopped singing. "B-betrothed? What!"

"She's betrothed!" Zatch asked in shock. Tia and Kolulu stared at him oddly as if he was going insane. "That's horrible! She'll never be able to be with the one she's in love with!"

"Zatch, you idiot! You should have known that Rosy was betrothed since we first brought her here!" said Tia angrily.

He stared. "… I should have?"

"YES!"

"Oh… Oops…" Zatch got hit on the head again by Tia, who yelled at him a bit more.

While the other two continued fighting, Kolulu informed Sherry about what was going on. "You see, dear, you were meant to be married to Prince Brago since the day you were born."

This only made Sherry shake her head with frustration. "B-but I can't be betrothed to him! I would have to be a… a…"

"A princess." continued Kolulu. "And you are a princess. Princes Sherry!"

"What!"

Tia finished up hitting the lightning mamodo atop the head and walked back over to where the talk was. Zatch lay beat up on the ground, holding onto his neck and crying.

"That's right," began the red-head, "And tonight, we are taking you back to your father, King Jii."

A wide smile spread across Koko's face, and her possessed purple eyes gave a certain flash. She chuckled quietly to herself and ran off. Master would be pleased…

Shaking her head, Sherry cried out loud. "No! I can't! I promised to meet him later on, he's coming here tonight!"

"I'm very sorry, but you must never see that man again." said Tia sternly. Sherry screamed at her and ran upstairs, wailing her head off.

"You're so unfair!" she cried. The blonde ran over to where her room was and flopped herself onto her bed, and began crying her eyes out.

Zatch looked over at the other two. "You people are so unfair!"

Hope y'all liked that chapter n' the bickering between Brago and Sherry earlier. :) I just had to have some scene like that happen...

Anyway, on to my reviewers!

PsychicLunar: Do you think that by Jan. 28 you'll be able to watch it? I counted how many weeks it'd take for it to air and i saw that that is when it does. Well, even if you can't see it somebody can always tell you what happened. :) I think i might have two bystander characters be aware of what's going on, too... But you probably won't see them until a couple of chapters from now... Depending how long it takes me to get to that scene. -.- Anyway, here's the next chapter.

Rae: Eh, i don't think life's boring. Well, here's the next chappy.

anonimize: Glad you like it! And i've only seen Inuyasha a few times (and that was a long time ago), so i don't really have an opinion of it. But from what i've seen of it, it's interesting. :)

Computerfreak101: Hahaha, that's a good reason why. (grumbles) I don't want to wait 'til the end of January until he appears again! That's too long from now! (starts crying)(sniff) Oh well... Careful, you're scaring Brago and Maiana. Oh, and depending when i get to it, the kiss scene might be around chapter 6.

Hiei's ice angel: Yep, that's what it stand for:) Here's the next chappy.

caslspirit15: You know, having a website all about the Walt Disney's version of Sleeping Beauty really helps. A LOT. That way i don't actually have to find a way to watch it. XD

lalalalala2: I've found a place for Eido and Hyde, but it's not an important role. They'll appear in a later chapter. That good for you?

gergy: Glad you think so!

Well peeps there is the next chapter! Hope it was funny! Now i gotta go and figure out what the heck i'm going to have for dinner... (sigh) Nothing was planned, so it's probably up to myself to make me somethin' ta eat! I'm signing off now.

BYE!
