Beauty and the Beast

Once Upon a Time

"Once Upon a Time a beautiful enchantress turned a handsome prince into a terrible beast when she discovered his selfishness. She left behind an enchanted rose. If the prince did not find true love before the last rose petal fell, he would remain a beast forever..."

"Forever? Really?...That is soooo sad...poor beastie..."

Putting the book down on her crossed legs, Levy McGarden looks to her left to her little blonde haired dark eyed friend next to her. With tears in her beautiful dark brown eyes, Lucy Heartfilia looks deep into Levy's own dark eyes.

"Does it really end like this Levy-Chan? Does poor beastie stay a beast forever?"

The very thought of the fictional "beastie" staying a beast forever must have upset Lucy even more as fresh tears leak at the corners of her eyes, dripping gently down her light pink cheeks that match her light pink ribbon she always wears in her light blonde hair.

"Oh of course not you dummy, it's just only the beginning of the story. Levy just started, so be quiet princess so she can continue the story."

Turning her face away from Lucy, Levy looks to the right of her at the short dark haired witty girl next to her with a grin stretched out wide on her face meant to be a smirk Levy would have had to guess, but it looks too forced to her.

With those words Lucy's quiet tears turn to deep sobs.

"Now look at what you did Cana! You know Lucy is sensitive..." The last part muffled so Lucy wouldn't be able to hear. Though from the sound of Lucy's crying, Levy would have had to guess that she wouldn't have been able to hear it even if she wasn't crying.

"Oh shove it Lisanna, the princess is just a big cry baby!"

"I am not!" Cries Lucy, her sobbing turning into storms.

"Calm down Cana, you're being too harsh to little Lucy."

"Don't tell me what to do just because you're older Mira. What are you even doing here? Aren't you a little old for fairy tales?" With those words Cana smirks up at Mirajane Strauss, knowing she got her there.

"We were just interested since it was Levy who was reading you little squirt, right Scarlet?" Mirajane smirks.

Turning away from Cana, Levy looks up at the older girl standing outside of the little circle on the rug that Levy and the other girls made when they wanted Levy to read to them like she always did.

Shaking her head, her long beautiful scarlet colored hair swaying from side to side with the movement, Erza Scarlet turns to look at Mirajane.

"I told you not to call me that Strauss."

"What was that Scarlet?!"

Forgetting Cana, Erza and Mirajane square off and face each other, glaring at one another.

Standing side by side Mirajanes long white hair pulled up into a high pony tail showing off her bright glowing eyes that would almost make her look sweet and innocent if it weren't for Mira's choice of wardrobe, dark clothes and a choker necklace that makes her almost scary. Unlike her little sister Lisanna, with the same gorgeous white hair Levy secretly is jealous of and her beautiful blue eyes that match's her big sisters. Though unlike her sister, Lisanna chooses to be more girly, always wearing cute dresses, matching her cute and nice attitude unlike her sisters mean and scary attitude.

Then there's Erza, her beautiful long scarlet hair pulled back into a long braid down her back the only girly thing about her...and then there's Erza's choice of clothes, always armor, giving her a strong as an oak tree appearance. Though to be told the truth, Levy wouldn't want them any other way. They're perfect just the way they are.
