Once Upon A Dream: A Modern Day Sleeping Beauty
Once upon a time, or so they say, lived a king, a queen, a prince and a
newborn princess. They lived a perfect live in the southern region of France,
but one day, shortly after the princess had been born; the king grew very ill
and died. It was up to the prince to rule the lands now. He was only fourteen
and not nearly as ready as people believed him to be, but his mother, the queen,
had the utmost confidence in him.
The years passed, and soon the prince was now a thirty-one-year-old king and his
little sister, the princess was already seventeen and raving beauty if there
ever was one. It was now 1772 and the king of the southern region of France had
decided to make an alliance with the northern region, to join the south and the
north of France into one whole region. The two kings needed someway to join the
two regions and decided to arrange a marriage with the princess of the south to
the prince of the north. All they needed now was to introduce the two to each
other. "Nicolette! Wait!" shouted poor Ariana trying to catch up with her best
friend who was many feet further than she.
"It's not my fault that you're so slow!" joked Nicolette.
"I'll tell my brother on you!" exclaimed Ariana.
"No you won't!" said Nicolette.
"How do you know that?" asked Ariana.
"Because you always threaten me like that, and never do!" joked Nicolette.
Nicolette stopped at a nearby bench and waited for her panting friend to catch
up.
"That wasn't funny!" said Ariana, panting.
"I thought it was!" teased Nicolette. Ariana sat down on the bench next to
Nicolette and stared up at her brother's castle.
"Is something wrong?" asked Nicolette.
"No." lied Ariana.
"You can tell me the truth." Said Nicolette. Ariana said nothing and just pushed
back some auburn curls that had fallen into her face.
"Has Henry threatened your mother again?" asked Nicolette.
"Shh! Henry might have people spying us!" snapped Ariana.
"Well then what's wrong?" asked Nicolette, lowering her voice.
"I overheard Henry talking in the study with a messenger from the northern
region." Said Ariana.
"So?"
"So, they were talking about arranging a marriage for me."
"What's so wrong with that? Everyone has an arranged marriage." Said Nicolette
matter-of-factly. Ariana let out a deep sigh.
"But I don't want an arranged marriage, I want to marry for love or not at all."
Said Ariana. Nicolette rolled her big brown eyes.
"Ariana, you're the princess of France, and you're brother is one of the most
powerful rulers in all of Europe, I highly doubt you'll get the opportunity to
marry for love." Said Nicolette in a teasing sort of tone. Ariana smiled weakly.
"I wish I weren't a princess." mumbled Ariana.
"Do you at least know who you are betrothed to?"
"Yes," said Ariana, "the prince of the northern region."
"Have you ever met him?" asked Nicolette.
"Yes," said Ariana, "I met him about eleven years ago at Henry's grand ball for
his twentieth birthday."
"Do you even know his name?"
"No. We really didn't talk. We just had one dance." Said Ariana
"Do you remember what he even looks like?" asked Nicolette. Ariana shook her
head.
"I was only six." she said.
"Well you might-" Nicolette was cut off, by the sound of a carriage and many
horses pulling up to the castle.
"Oh dear, it's him." Said Ariana nervously. "Nicolette, you must help me."
"Help you with what?" asked Nicolette confused.
"I'm going to run away."

Lyrics to once upon a dream sleeping beauty
I know you, I walked with you once upon a dream
I know you, the gleam in your eyes is so familiar a gleam
Yet I know it's true that visions are seldom all they seem
But if I know you, I know what you do
You love me at once, the way you did once upon a dream
But if I know you, I know what you do
You love me at once
The way you did once upon a dream
I know you, I walked with you once upon a dream
I know you, the gleam 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 do
You love me at once, the way you did once upon a dream

Once Upon A Dreamdance and reprise: Aurora and Phillip start dancing
Hubert:
[shakes his head] I don't understand
[on the balcony, Fauna loses a tear]
Flora:
Why, Fauna, what's the matter, dear?
Fauna:
Oh, I just love happy endings.
Flora:
Yes, I do, too. [notices that Aurora's dress is blue] Oh, Blue? [swings her
wand] Pink! [the dress changes to pink]
Choir:
I know you,
I walked with you
Once upon a dream
Merryweather:
Blue! [the dress changes to blue]
Choir:
I know you,
The gleam in your eyes
Is so familiar a gleam
[The castle disappears around Aurora and Phillip, and they keep on dancing in
the clouds. All the time, the dress keeps changing its color from blue to pink
and back]
Choir:
And I know it's true
That visions are seldom all they seem
But if I know you I know what you'll do
[Aurora and Phillip kiss each other. The storybook fades in, showing the exact
same scene, and is slowly closed. The storybook says "And they lived happily
ever after" below the picture. Still, the dress changes its color]
Choir:
You'll love me at once
The way you did
Once upon a dream
