Well I thank everyone for the advice of who to cast for this story. I hope everyone will enjoy the first chapter. It may be short because it's the opening of the story. I always loved the opening of this movie (Beauty and the Beast) as it was very well done. So, my inspiration for this chapter will come with that. I know that Spike grows more with his greediness that happened on the show, yet in this story his size will remain the same in a certain light. I hope people will try to enjoy this first chapter and I promise to update whenever I can.

Chapter 1: The Curse

A long time ago, there once lived a prince. Most people wouldn't take this Dragon as a mere prince more than a spoiled brat.

This dragon was named Spike. Even though he could have anything he wanted, Spike still felt unhappy. Some of that unhappiness was due to the disappearance or death of his parent. (A/N I wished this was touched upon as the Disney movie never laborites on this. This is what boggles the mind people.)

Nevertheless, Spike had a cruel and hateful heart inside him. The more hate Spike had, the more emotionless his words were.

One cold night, in which the snow never seemed to stop falling, there was a knock at the door. Spike already irritated by his servants and thus answers the door himself as he glares down looking upon an old hag.

Spike looked down at the old woman who simply smiled at him in which his respond was only a scoff.

"Pleases sir, I mean you no harm. My name is Luna, and I wish to stand in your castle in exchange for shelter from the bitter cold, I offer a single rose" the old woman coughed a little.

"Go away you ugly old hag" Spike repulsed by her ugliness

The knock happened again as Spike angrily opened it looking down at Luna.

Luna told Spike not to be deceived by her ugliness and asked again to stay in the castle. Spike gave her the same answer and slammed the door in her face.

Suddenly, the large doors opened to the old hag floating in the air. Her ugliness melted away to reveal that she was a beautiful enchantress with wings and her dress was a dark side of nighttime.

Spike saw her and begged on his knees "I am sorry, I am really sorry, I didn't know you were beautiful, pleases I can change, just forgive me"

"It is too late Spike. I have seen the wickedness of your heart and that it will not change on its own" Luna cried out as she looked at him.

She tapped him with her wand and thus causing Spike a lot of pain as he looked at her. "Thus I will cast a curse. Upon you, your servants, and your house"

Spike began to morph into a hideous beast; he was merely a bigger dragon with his scales messed up, his green spikes grown small and tall. His tail was larger, his eyes turned red, and his teeth were razor sharp as were his claws and feet.

His servants were transformed into inanimate objects while she changed the happy outlook of the castle into one that was dark and spooky.

Luna looked upon everyone and spoke "I will leave behind two things: one, a mirror that will let you see the outside world"

She crafted a magical handheld mirror with her magic placing it down on the ground while she crafted another object and spoke.

"The other I leave the rose that I was almost willing to give to you" she said placing the enchanted rose inside cover. "This rose will bloom until you are twenty one. If you can love someone and have her love you in return, the spell will be broken. If not, then this curse will remain with you forever"

She disappeared beyond sight as a large boom was heard in the sky.

Spike looked at his servants and growled taking the two items and ran towards his room to be alone.

Spike put the two items down as he torn a piece of a picture of his former self. He was at a loss of what to do.

The days turned into months, the months turned into years as it became clear that the curse would remain on the castle and its inhabitants forever.

This my friends is where our current story begins.

Well this is the end of this chapter. What did you think? I wanted to make it different than the original movie. I assume people that have read this story have seen Beauty and the Beast and My Little Pony. If not, the next chapter will be about Belle. Not sure if I want to include songs in this story. If you have any Beauty and the Beast or MLP stories to recommend to me, then I will read them while making the next chapter.

Also, thanks for the help with the casting. See you in the next chapter and should you have any comments, questions, or concerns. Then, I will give you a shout out in the next chapter.
