Disclaimer - (Cause fanfiction is tricky ground and I hope not to offend the creator of the original story and get sued)

This is non-profit and is a fanfiction, a work of fiction. It is an unofficial, non-canon alternate story based on TurtleMe's story "The Beginning After The End". Most of the media - such as the images and video's used in this fanfiction - are from the web. Thus, most of them aren't mine (because I really, really can't draw) unless mentioned. To fit the story, images are also edited by the photo editor. So they aren't mine, just edited. I get much of the text, especially the fight scenes and thought, aside from my oc's, from the original novel, which can be found on Library Novel. Still, support the official release.

Have you ever written something from the back of your head, and then realize oh sh** these were someone else's words. Yeah, that just happened to me, my disclaimer no less. Anyway, like 40% of this disclaimer belongs to KairuSui from quotev

Also if you own a picture or Video that I found online, and you either want your name added, or me to take it down. Please contact me and we can talk it out.

P.s. I also ask that you do not copy my work and publish it onto any other website. If you're gonna use my idea, please ask me (I'll 99.99% say yes unless you're super rude). If I don't contact you within a week, then just assume I'm giving you the all clear and go for it. Just remember to credit me.

I will be writing out scenes even if my Oc isn't in them. As long as she's mentioned, or influencing the characters in some way. This may seem a bit annoying. But that's just how I write. I like to embed my characters into the story line.

This also goes without question, I DO NOT OWN BEAUTY AND THE BEAST! That belongs to Walt Disney Pictures.

{Morgana P.O.V.}

I knew this could happen, a part of me hoped.

But now, it's becoming more and more real.

But what if I'm wrong?

The closer I get to grasping it, the more scared I become that it was all just a fantasy.

A fantasy that will shatter into a million pieces the second I attempt to grasp it.

Arthur stared at me, confused, unsure if he had heard me right, so I reaped the question, becoming a little more specific. "Arthur. How do you know that warm up routine?"

"I learned it from a friend." He answered, for the first time since I'd met him, he sounded nervous.

"I see." He's probably lying to keep his secret. Because after seeing his warm up routine, I know without a doubt Arthur is Grey, if not that, at the very least, he's someone who's seen Grey's warm up routine. I chuckled to myself, If nothing else. There is one thing I can do, to reveal myself, and have him confront me himself.

With that in mind, I got up and walked to the piano that was sitting by my bookshelf. 'My vocal cords are different, and my fingers aren't as long as they once were. So i'll have to keep those factors in mine.' I thought to myself, as I began playing a song that Grey would be able to recognize without a doubt. 'I've figured it out, so can you, Grey?'

Do you remember it?

The song your wife composed for you.

With that in mind, I began singing as my fingers played a mellody they've played over a thousand times. "Tale as old as time. True as it can be... Barely even friends... Then somebody bends. Unexpectedly." Every verse, no every word, in this song. Was special to me. Because they told the story of how we feel in love.

"Just a little change. Small, to say the least." When I first met him, I thought I was the only one scared of the commitment we were being forced to make. Turns out, we were, "Both a little scared. Neither one prepared."

To him, I was just a dainty little princess who thrown his way. He expected me to do nothing but sit back and spend all his money. Well I expected him to be a cold blooded tyrant who wouldn't hesitate to kill me. "Beauty and the Beast."

"Ever just the same. Ever a surprise." Turns out, neither was what the other was expecting. "Ever as before. And ever just as sure." But we were exactly what we needed.

He needed to dream, and I needed my dose of reality. "As the sun will rise, oh woah."

"Ever just the same." We both had our masks that we wore around people, and when they came off, "And ever a surprise, yeah" nothing would ever be as, "Ever as before." or, "And ever just as sure."

"As the sun will rise." It was something they both valued. Because in those moments, he wasn't a king, and I wasn't a queen. We were just a pair watching the sun rise on a new day. "Oh, oh, oh."

Turns out, they weren't the only two who were able to find love this way. It was a "Tale as old as time. Tune as old as song."

It was when we had truly fought for the first time. That he called off the engagement and let me go back to my grandparents. He had even agreed to marry my vain sister, to protect me from my fathers wright. It was at that moment that I learned the true meaning of... "Bittersweet and strange."

When I found out my grandparents were brought together by an arranged marriage. This allowed me to reevaluate my situation. "Finding you can change."

"Learning you were wrong." Was not something I was familiar with, till I met him. It was one of the reasons I hated him so much when I first met him, yet it became one of the many reasons I love him.

"Certain as the sun. Rising in the east. Tale as old as time. Song as old as rhyme. Beauty and the Beast. Tale as old as time. Song as old as rhyme. Beauty and the Beast~"

With shaky hands I brought the pino cover of the keys and turned around to see Arthur gaping at me with an open mouth.

"Hey... Grey. Long time no see." I laughed nervously.

Writing their past through the song, made me realize something. I wanna write a prequel for them. I know we'll see a lot of their past as the story progresses. But I feel like how they fell in love, deserves it's own little book.

Which as the song suggests, will be based heavily on Beauty and the Beast. Just without the curse, cue the gaps.

"(Gasp) Beauty and the Beast, without the curse! Author have you lost your mind!"

Calm down, it's just that the story line I have in mind, really doesn't need a curse. Plus for those of you who know what he's past like, it's already pretty sad. Don't really need to curse the poor guy on top of that.

So anyway, I'll probably write it when we all get a better understanding of his past. Until then, I'll wait. But don't worry, I'll let you know when the prologue for the thing comes out, or maybe you just read it?

(Cause I personally feel like the song, and the little bit I wrote to go with it, can work as a prologue on it's own.)

P.s. Know that those events aren't in order. So you don't need to wreck your brain trying to make 2 and 3 add up to 4, cause it just won't work.
