Sleeping Beauty

Two

Somewhere else in the forest

A boy around the age of 17 came galloping on his horse through the forest. "Hey Jean, where do you think King Levi and Queen Petra's castle is?" the boy asks his horse. "Neigh" was all the horse said. 

"Oh, that's right you're a horse. I can't believe I forgot horses can't talk." Jean just did a horse scoff. While the boy was distracted Jean kicked him onto the ground. 

"OW! HEY!" Jean just laughed in his own horsey way. The boy then started scolding his horse. 'Jean do this, Jean do that, Jean don't do this, Jean don't do that. Man I'd put this punk in his place if he could understand me.' Jean thought. 

Back with Sophia

"And after we were done dancing he put his hands on my face and kissed me." "Hoot Hoot" Hange hooted. It sounded like she was squealing. Isabel and Hange flew off somewhere and came back with a coat and hat. Hange was wearing the hat and was holding up the coat while Isabel was holding up the sleeve. Farlan helped her with the other sleeve.

Back with the boy

"Never kick me again Jean do you understand me." Jean just looked at his rider. "Good now let's find that castl- Hey that's my jacket!" The boy exclaimed as he saw an owl take his jacket. Then a little bluebird came and took his hat. "And my hat!" The boy jumped on Jean and said "Follow those birds Jean." So Jean ran after the birds that took his master's stuff.

Back with Sophia

"Well hello kind sir have we met before?" Hange just nods the hat up and down. "We have when?" Farlan moves the sleeve to make it seem like he was saying far away. "We met Once upon a Dream" Hange nods the hat again. Then Sophia starts singing while the birds and her danced together.

"I know you, I walked with you once upon a dream

I know you, that look in your eyes is so familiar a gleam"

Hiding in the bushes were the boy and Jean, watching Sophia sing and dance with his coat and hat.

"And I know it's true that visions are seldom all they seem

But if I know you, I know what you'll do"

That's when The boy pulled Hange, Isabel, and Farlan aside and took their place with the girl and started singing with her until it was just him singing it.

"You'll love me at once, the way you did once upon a dream

But if I know you, I know what you'll do

You'll love me at once

The way you did once upon a dream"

That's when Sophia realized she was dancing with a stranger. "Oh. Oh..." "I'm sorry I didn't mean to frighten you." the boy said "Oh no it wasn't that it's just that you're a... you're a..." "A stranger?" "Mhm." "But don't you remember, we've met before." "We... we have?" "Of course. You said so yourself. Once upon a dream." That's when Sophia looked into his eyes. She felt a spark light up inside her. Then he started singing again

"I know you, I walked with you once upon a dream

I know you, that look in your eyes is so familiar a gleam

And I know it's true that visions are seldom all they seem

But if I know you, I know what you'll do

You'll love me at once

The way you did once upon a dream"

Sophia and the boy go to a slanted tree and lean on it while holding each other. Then the boy asks. "What's your name?" "Hmm. Oh my name. Why It's... it's" Then she stops talking realizing what she was doing. "Oh no no no I can't Good bye" "When will I see you again?" "Oh never... never" "Never!?" Then she stops and thinks. "Well, maybe someday." "When tomorrow?" "Well no. This evening" "Where?" "At the cottage in the meadow." And with that Sophia ran off.
