Summary: KHR/Sleeping Beauty Parody. The Ending scene of Sleeping Beauty gets a dose of KHR grade crack. 4427, one-sided R27 and X27 (maybe even Col27 and Skull27?)
DISCLAIMER: THIS IS A FANBASED WORK. KHR AND SLEEPING BEAUTY BELONG TO THEIR RESPECTIVE OWNERS AND LICENSE HOLDERS. I MAKE NO MONEY FROM THIS PIECE OF FICTION.
A/N: Well, this idea just came out of nowhere, and I felt oddly compelled to write it, so here is the first fanfic I've managed to finish in 8 or so years (first one on this account)!
You know, the ending scene of Disney's Sleeping Beauty with Aurora's dress changing colors was the only thing that really stuck with me from the movie. So I'm doing that scene MY way *grins evilly*. This was originally going to be a couple hundred words long but it ran away from me…
Constructive Crit. is welcome! Like I said, been forever since I last wrote and I'm feeling really, really rusty here guys.
Edit- fixed some typos, spelling errors, added a disclaimer, and a line about Xanxus' guns because I always felt something was missing there and realized I never wrote it in. FAIL orz.
The party had been going well; the food was good and the people were happy. It was a momentous occasion! Enchanter Mukuro was defeated, the castle was awake and lively once more, and the beautiful Princess Tsunayoshi (Prince, said Princess would insist to anyone who would listen, but no one paid him any mind) had just gotten married to his rescuer. Everyone was overjoyed.
Except for the good-fairy Reborn who sulked next to his fellow good-fairies in a balcony overlooking the entire celebration. Part of his bad mood was due to the fact that despite all their training, and the information that had literally been beaten into his student, Tsuna had touched a spinning wheel and activated Mukuro's curse. There would be many punishing 'training' sessions in store for the forgetful boy.
But what had truly put a sour taste in Reborn's mouth was that HE didn't believe Tsuna should be getting married so hastily. Unfortunately, as soon as King Iemitsu had opened his eyes and saw the 'couple' together he had started hollering for a priest, and not an hour later they were married.
Reborn was now contemplating putting Iemitsu back to sleep permanently.
The rest of the good-fairies did not share in his ill will. Skull, who had cried all through the ceremony, kept randomly bursting into tears and wailing about the boy that they raised being all grown-up. When he wasn't fighting tears, Skull was boasting about raising Tsuna the best- to which the other two reacted violently to. Colonello was overall enjoying the festivities and the good food, not to mention he was getting a kick out of Reborn's pouting.
He probably would have been content for the rest of the party, but he had glanced at their boy and finally noticed what the Princess was wearing: a red dress. Bright red like a large moving target, and easy mark for some assassin. That just wouldn't do.
His brow twitched downwards and he summoned his anti-tank rifle- because the only one who used the stupid, girly wand was Skull- and aimed the muzzle at Tsuna, steadily following the boy as he was twirled around the dance floor. "Blue," he stated firmly then squeezed the trigger.
A small 'bullet' of bright blue light raced towards Tsuna faster than the eye could see and slammed into the boy's back. Instead of injuring him, the bullet instead splashed color across the dress that consumed the red in less than a second, and left the Princess in an ice-blue dress.
The couple didn't miss a step and continued to dance as if nothing happened; the party guests murmured in appreciation.
Shouldering his rifle that dwarfed him, Colonello gave a pleased grin. "Much better."
Reborn scoffed, his inky black eyes narrowed. Of course he disagreed, after all Colonello was the good-blue-fairy. It was like he had put some kind of claim on their adorable student- which Reborn would allow over his dead body.
He reached into his suit jacket and pulled out a darkly gleaming pistol in his tiny hand. His eyes flickered over to the happy bride and fired a shot in less than half a second that hit its target dead on. The dress bloomed yellow in the same shad as the stripe that decorated Reborn's fedora.
Said fedora was tilted to shadow the good-fairy's eyes but left his smirk clearly visible. "Yellow suits him more. The other way was hideous."
Colonello sneered back at the other; another shot was quickly lined up and the trigger squeezed.
BANG. The dress flashed blue again.
"Blue is better than the color of piss, Kora."
"Yellow," he snarls and shoots without looking-
- BANG. The color melted into yellow
-"brings out the paleness of his skin."
"Like a corpse! Blue."
BANG
"Yellow."
BANG
"You want to go, Kora?! Blue."
BANG
"An idiot like you couldn't handle me. Yellow."
BANG
"BLUE."
BANG
"YELLOW."
BANG BANG BANG BANG
The sound of gunfire was drowning out the orchestra and the party guests were giving the couple wide berth in fear of a stray bullet. Tsuna's dress was changing between colors so rapidly that it was like some Technicolor game of chase between blue and yellow.
Squalo, newly married husband to the Princess, was fighting the urge to take out his sword and slice up the meddlesome fairies. Those bullets were getting pretty close to hitting him. He had actually dressed up for this shit- okay, he was wearing his military coat but it was the nicest thing he owned- and tied his long silver hair back. If he ended up tie-dyed blue and yellow he would be so pissed.
His tiny brunet bride sent him and apologetic look, his eyes radiating sincerity and affection.
And Squalo wondered again how he had managed to get married so suddenly. It felt like he was robbing someone blind.
Tsuna gave a wry grin and leaned up on his tippy-toes, pressing close to his taller husband. "Sorry," he half-shouted over the gunfire, feeling the need to apologize for the insanity of his 'extended family.'
Attempting to turn his sneer into a grin, Squalo realized he was a lucky man.
"BLUE!" BANG
"YELLOW!" BANG
Skull jumped onto the banister and pointed his wand at Tsuna. "PURPLE!"
The dress melted into a royal purple that glittered in the light of the candles and torches.
"Gyahahaha! The Great Skull is the best choice, of course!" Sticking his nose arrogantly in the air, the purple good-fairy let out another hearty cackle.
For a moment, Reborn and Colonello put aside their grand rivalry and were on the same wavelength. They both glared at their annoying companion, their hands curling into fists. "Just die," they hissed.
His laughter immediately ceased and poor Skull paled. "W-wait! Reborn, Col-!"
In perfect synchronization, the two violent fairies drop-kicked the third off the balcony into the crowd. Their cease-fire ended just as quickly as Skull had.
"YELLOW!" BANG
"BLUE!" BANG
Unable to fight it anymore, Squalo grimaced and his hands unconsciously tightened on Tsuna. He couldn't take much more of this.
"YELLOW!" BANG
Squalo snapped. "VOOIIIIIIII!" His sword was yanked from its sheath and waved around in threatening swipes; his teeth were bared in a snarl. "Cut this shit out or I'll just rip the damn dress off of him!"
The music and gunfire suddenly cut off. Just about everyone was sending the groom offended looks.
The sword was sheathed with a snort. The swordsman's smile was distinctly not nice. "What are you gaping at, morons! What the fuck did you think I was going to do to him once I married him?"
Two killing intents suddenly spiked. One was, of course, coming from Reborn on the balcony, but the other was coming from the pedestal where the royal family sat, or more specifically from Tsuna's cousin, Xanxus.
Xanxus' ruby eyes burned with fury, his sneer deepening the shadows of the burn scars decorating his face. His hand tightened around the neck of his personal bottle of wine before he chucked the whole thing at Squalo's head.
Squalo barely managed to duck under it.
"Trash," Xanxus growled out, pulling his guns from his holsters (because you never know when you may need to shoot someone, especially at a wedding) and aiming at the groom, "my cousin's going to be a widow."
A squeaky voiced piped up from the balcony. "Don't worry. I'll help Tsuna get over your violent and bloody death."
The swordsman tensed and paled. Fuck, he had just managed to piss off the two most dangerous men in the kingdom that were now hungry for his blood. He only had one choice. Squalo tossed Tsuna over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes.
Tsuna, who was opening his mouth to defend his husband, squeaked and grasped Squalo's broad shoulder. "What are you doing?!"
The silver haired man ignored him, more focused on dodging the rain of bullets and running out the exit.
"Scum!" Xanxus roared and leapt from his throne. "Come back here and face your death like a man!"
Reborn jumped from the balcony and easily navigated the crowd by leapfrogging from head to head. "You won't get far."
King Iemitsu roared with laughter, happy at the liveliness of the party.
Queen Nana just giggled politely behind her hand and wondered what her future grandchildren would look like.
A/N: So, what did you think guys? I tried to keep with the style of fairy tales, what with its limited description, but having none at all drove me absolutely crazy.
Originally the good-fairies were going to be played by Tsuna's guardians but Reborn, who owns most of my brain, demanded to have a part; and even though I made sure he was infant form, he still tried to steal Tsuna away for himself. This is what happens once you give into the R27- it owns your soul.
Similarly, Xanxus just decided to show up to chuck a bottle at Squalo. Because they are BFFs and he needs to be at his wedding (it has nothing to do with my shipping X27. At all). But I really do love Squalo/Tsuna guys! Reborn just makes it hard for me to write (and finish) anything but R27 ;_;.
Please review! I have little confidence in my writing so I need your guy's support so I don't keep quitting in the middle of fics.
