Here it is ladies and gentleman! The FINAL chapter is here. I can't believe that I'm finishing this. This is the second story I've ever finished on this site. Now before you go on my profile, I deleted the first finished story. So you'll never find it. But other than that, I'm excited that this is over and I get to work on my new story.
If you didn't read last chapters Author's Notes, I announced that I was going to be working on Beauty and The Beast. I didn't announce that I was going to be working with the Disney version. As much as I would have fun with the actual musical, I don't know all of those songs they use so I went with the Disney one. The Disney version I'm using is the one that came out on DVD with the extra song 'Human Again.' I enjoy that song and I want to use it.
Other than that, I want to thank Creative Writer 2000, Guest(anonymous reviewer), Evie Warner, Schoollie and Mother Russia(anonymous reviewer). Everyone else who has favoured or followed this story, YOU NEED TO REVIEW! This is the last chapter. If you haven't yet, you need to do it now!
Dedication: I dedicate this chapter to all of you who have been reading this from day one and to those who will be reading this. You guys rock!

Do You Love Her Because She's Wonderful? & There's Music In You
It was about two hours past since the sun rose. Shigeru was looking outside longingly, the glass shoe still in his hands. He wasn't able to sleep well that night but the little sleep he did get was worth it. He held back a yawn as Eevee was in his lap sleeping. She looked so comfortable and he didn't want to awaken the small Pokemon. Besides, it looked absolutely adorable when it was sleeping and who doesn't like cute sleeping things? Naturally I do. Anyway, our handsome prince rubbed his eyes and was about to continue doing what he was doing when he was interrupted.
"Brother you have been up all night," Nanami said, "You need to eat something."
He shook his head, "Not until I find Satoshi. Before then, I will not eat or rest."
"What are you trying to prove?" She asked.
He rolled his eyes, "I'm not trying to prove anything. All I want is to find Satoshi."
"Yes, I'm aware that he was very good looking but many of the other people were just as good looking. Perhaps even better looking," She said.
He sent her a look, "I don't care about everyone else. Satoshi isn't like any of those other people. He was different. I liked that about him."
"Yesterday you didn't even think that you would find someone and suddenly you want one person? What do you know about this boy? What makes you so positive he's the one?" She asked.
He looked away from her, "Well, when I was with him, it felt like no one else was around. I was a different person yet myself at the same time. I felt like I could do anything. For once, everything was perfect."
"That sounds convincing enough to me," The King and their grandfather said as he seemed to appear out of nowhere.
The siblings turned to the older man. Shigeru was in shock, never once did he even think his grandfather was going to side with him. Before he even had a chance to reply, his sister turned her attention back to him.
"Are you making believe you see in him," She sang, "A guy to perfect to be really true?"
Her singing voice was pleasant. It was light yet strong and graceful all at the same time.
"Do you love him because he's wonderful," She went on, "Or is he wonderful because you love him?"
The prince wasn't going to lie, the words he was hearing sounded very familiar. Perhaps it was because he sang them last night.
"Is he the sweet invention of a lover's dream…" She grasped on to his arm, "Or is he really as wonderful as he seems?"
The prince replied, "He's everything I've ever dreamt about and more. Please let me find him and you'll see why I like him so much. I promise."
"Then I suggest you go find him," His grandfather said, "No matter how long it takes."
He smiled, "Thank you."
Right at that moment, Shu, Kasumi and Kenji appeared.
"We have bad news," Kasumi said.
Kenji sighed, "No one seems to know who this Satoshi guy is or where he came from."
"In other words," Shu said, "We have no leads."
Shigeru nodded, "I think I can help with the lead part."
That was when he produced the glass shoe. Shu smiled, Haruka wasn't lying when said she gave Satoshi glass shoes that would only fit him. It was times like these did the godfather love magic.
"A glass shoe?" Kasumi asked.
Kenji tilted his head to one side, "Who dances in glass shoes?"
"I think I know where you're going with this…" The greenette said.
Shigeru nodded, "We are going to try this shoe on everyone who attended the ball until find the person whose foot fits the shoe."
"Even the girls?" Kenji asked.
The prince nodded, "We mustn't discriminate."
Kasumi and Kenji looked at each other and sighed. This day wasn't going to be an easy one, they followed Shu who said he was going to get a carriage in order.
"…And the dearest love in all the world is waiting somewhere for me," Shigeru sang, "Is waiting somewhere…somewhere for me."
Thus the trying of the shoe spread though the village. People were lining the streets without shoes just to get a shot at trying on the shoe of glass. Other people were just wondering who the hell would be crazy enough to go to a party in glass shoes. If they were to break…well let's not get into details shall we? It wasn't going to end good if we kept on going.
After hours of searching in the village and nothing, Shigeru felt like he was going to lose his patience. Was Satoshi doing this on purpose or something? He hated the luck he was having and it was getting close to dinner time. He was starving.
"How many more places to go?" Shigeru asked.
Shu replied, "Just one more stop."
"Oh thank goodness," Kenji said exhausted.
Kasumi spoke up, "What he means is that perhaps the boy you're looking for is going to be here!"
Shu smiled. He knew for a fact that the boy they were looking for was there. It was all about the timing and so one and so forth. Apart of him wondered if Haruka's side of the plan was going to work. But then he remembered who he was thinking about. If there was anyone who could get the job done it was going to be her. They pulled up in front of the house in question.
Showtime.
"It's such an honor that you're here in my house!" Sakaki said as he let the prince and his attendance enter.
The prince nodded, "Thank you for acknowledging that fact…now if we can please get this over with."
"Oh yes," He said.
The man called Musashi and Kojiro. The moment the two showed up, Shigeru's heart sank. Satoshi wasn't anywhere here was he? He sighed as he handed the shoe to Kenji who was trying on Musashi first. Her foot was only an inch bigger than the shoe. She pouted and cursed her luck. Kojiro naturally tried it on next and it didn't fit him either.
"Is there anyone else that lives here?" Shigeru asked, "A servant perhaps?"
Sakaki shook his head, "No Your Highness. I assure you no one else is here."
Musashi and Kojiro were now in front of the kitchen doors as if they were blocking something. Shu smiled, now this was their chance.
"Where do these doors lead to?" The greenette asked.
"What doors?" The siblings asked.
Sakaki laughed, "Oh you mean these doors… Why they lead nowhere. Just a kitchen with pots, pans and a few ratata…"
"I think His Majesty would like to see for himself," Shu said.
The three sighed and opened the doors to reveal…
Absolutely nothing.
The three heaved sighs of relief. At least, they were until they heard the Rapidash making noises and Eevee, who had come with Shigeru, jumped out of his arms and ran outside. The prince immediately ran after his Pokemon with Shu right behind him. When they exited the front door that was when they saw Eevee.
The Pokemon tackled someone to the ground. Shigeru ran closer and low and behold the person on the ground was none other than…
Ash?
Satoshi?
Wait a minute.
Finally the prince realized that Ash was Satoshi and vice-versa. He smiled as he cursed himself for not seeing it earlier.
"I'm sorry about Eevee," He said, "I guess she just likes you or something."
Satoshi smiled, "Well she's really good at tackle that's for sure."
The prince extended his hand which the other took. Soon they were staring at each other in the eye. Like all of the other times before, the world seemed to stop. That was when Shigeru snapped out of it and presented the glass shoe to the other boy.
"I think this belongs to you," The prince said, "May I?"
The other nodded, "If you must."
Can you guess what happened? The shoe fit. From inside the house, Sakaki was fuming.
"As much as we would all like to stay here. Sakaki is heading our way," Takeshi said.
Satoshi looked over and then said, "This is probably when we should get away…"
"I have a carriage that fits all of us," The prince pointed out.
Takeshi smiled, "Even me?"
"Even you," He nodded, "Now let's get in there NOW."
Everyone, even the Pokemon almost ran into the carriage. As they were driving away, relief seemed to fill the inhabitants of the moving vehicle.
"I can't believe I'm out of there…" Satoshi said.
Shigeru replied, "I can. From now on, you'll be with me."
The pair stared at each other for a moment before sharing one more kiss.
[Four Months Later]
Once upon a time, there was a small kingdom called Masara. It wasn't a huge kingdom. In fact, it was one of the smallest kingdoms in all of the land. This small fact didn't matter to anyone because everyone was happy within their kingdom. Maybe this was because the taxes were very affordable and who doesn't like low taxes? Other than that, the palace was bright and the sun was shining in the sky. In all, it was a perfect day for a royal wedding.
In the village, people were getting things ready for the nuptials as they were voicing out their excitement.
"See? This was why I told you not to wait until the last minute! But no, you didn't listen to me," Junsar yelled at her boyfriend.
Growlithe and Vulpix were playing around the couple happily. They ignored what their humans were saying because the couple did this often. They actually found it funny.
Takeshi smiled sheepishly, "I know…you were right. I'm sorry for not listening to you in the first place. I'm not too worried; the decorations will be done on time. It's not like the King wanted the wedding in the morning anyway. By the time, Shigeru and Satoshi come over here, this place will look fantastic!"
"It better or I'm sending you back with Satoshi DURING the honeymoon," She threatened.
He laughed, "That's nice to know…"
Elsewhere, there was a girl walking around the village with her Munchlax. No one seemed to notice her walking around. Or if they did, they didn't ask questions. Probably they thought she was crazy, you can't trust people nowadays you know? Anyway, while Haruka was walking around, music seemed to come out of nowhere.
"Someone wants you, you know who," She sang, "Now you're living. There's music in you."
At the palace, a couple was pushed into a carriage along with a Pikachu and an Eevee. During royal weddings in Masara, the couple will be driven around the town in a carriage before going to the church. When the wedding was over, the couple would do it all over again before heading home. Once at home, they would get ready to leave for their honeymoon. Was any of this practical? Nope. Did the people love it? Of course they did! Satoshi looked over at his soon to be spouse and smiled brightly.
"I'm a little nervous…" He said.
Shigeru shrugged, "You'll be fine. All that matters today is that we love each other and soon, we'll be off to our honeymoon…and there things might happen wonderfully."
"You sure are creative with your words today," The other said.
He shrugged, "I'm only tongued-tied because of you…you look stunning today. I'm lucky to be marrying you. "
Shu was back on the palace grounds with a crying Kasumi hugging Kenji when he and his Roselia decided to sneak away. While he was heading to the church, he caught up with Haruka and heard the music playing.
"Now you'll hear something new," He sang, "Someone's playing the music in you."
Haruka smiled as she felt his hand holding hers. She leaned on his shoulder as they both made their way back to the church. Their plan had worked and once the wedding was over, they were going to be off to help someone else in need. The only thing different was that they were going to be working together as partners.
"Now you're living," She saw the carriage finally getting to the church, "You know why."
He saw it too and smiled when the couple got out of the carriage and entered the church, "Now there's nothing you won't try…"
Royal weddings were always closed off to the public so the people were given three days off to party instead. Haruka and Shu already saw the village people decorating and preparing things to eat. It all looked really lovely.
Since they had magic and could be invisible to normal people, they went inside the church and watched the wedding happen.
"Move a mountain, light the sky," They sang in unison, "Make a wish come true. There is music in you."
They were soon joined by Moroz and Rider who were grinning from ear to ear. The pair had to admit, it was a little odd to see them smiling.
"This wedding is wonderful!" Exclaimed Moroz.
Rider nodded, "I've always loved a good wedding. You did a good job Shu and Haruka. I'm glad we could leave here with some good news to tell the legendary Pokemon."
"Wait," Haruka blinked as she looked over at them, "You guys are like us?"
Moroz smiled and nodded, "We are the very first ones that got blessed with this work. We were here to make sure you were doing your job and to waste time and to review you guys for the bosses."
"Why were you wasting time?" The brunette asked.
The girl sighed, "Well, we cursed a handsome prince into a 'beast' and the only way for him to lift the spell is to have someone love him by seeing what's on the inside."
"We also cursed all of the servants too. Anyway, we should get going. We have to report to headquarters and then lift the curse from that prince," Rider said, "Shall we Moroz?"
She nodded and soon the two left. Well, that was a shocker. The brunette and the greenette exchanged looks for a moment and then shrugged. The music soon returned.
He sang, "Now you can go where ever you want to go…"
"Now you can do whatever you want to do,"She sang.
Takeshi was crying while Junsar patted her boyfriend on the back and tried to comfort him. She smiled, he was such a softie. That was why she loved him so much.
Pikachu was tearing up a bit but thanks to Eevee, he felt a bit better. The two Pokemon couldn't believe that soon their friends were going to be married. It was shocking as it was nice to know that good things to happen to good people.
Shu kept on singing, "Now you can be whatever you want to be…"
"And love is a song you will sing your whole life through," Haruka smiled as she embraced the boy next to her.
Now if you were wondering about Satoshi's step family, they're around. Shigeru had a feeling (and a nightmare) that Sakaki did something to ruin the wedding so they weren't allowed to attend for safety precautions. Not that they were crying about it…maybe Kojiro was, the other two weren't, on the outside that is.
Shu hugged the girl and kissed her forehead, "Move a mountain."
"Light the sky," She blushed as she kissed his cheek.
He smirked, "Make a wish come true."
Shigeru and Satoshi departed from the church and into the carriage with their Pokemon. Before Shigeru got in he noticed his (Fairy) Godfather with Satoshi's (Fairy) Godmother. The two boys smiled at each other and nodded. Haruka on the other hand, gave Satoshi a big hug.
"How can I ever thank you?" He asked
She replied, "By being happy, that's how."
"I think Shigeru has the happiness thing covered," Shu said.
The boy in question nodded, "You bet I do."
"So there's nothing to worry about!" She exclaimed.
The carriage left and the couple inside were being whisked away to be paraded around yet again. The (Fairy) Godparents just smiled. Everything was perfect.
"There is music in you," She sang the last verse, "In you~!"
Satoshi and Shigeru along with Takeshi and Junsar lived happily ever after.
The end.
