Beauty and the Beast AU (REALLY LONG)

Alright then! This is dedicated to the new Beauty and the Beast movie! Absolutely LOVE IT.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
NARRATOR: Once upon a time, in a faraway land, a young prince lived in a
shining castle. Although he had everything his heart desired,
the prince was spoiled, selfish, and unkind. But then, one
winter's night, an old beggar woman came to the castle and
offered him a single rose in return for shelter from the bitter
cold. Repulsed by her haggard appearance, the prince sneered at
the gift and turned the old woman away, but she warned him not
to be deceived by appearances, for beauty is found within.
And when he dismissed her again, the old woman's ugliness
melted away to reveal a beautiful enchantress. The prince
tried to apologize, but it was too late, for she had seen that
there was no love in his heart, and as punishment, she
transformed him into a hideous beast, and placed a
powerful spell on the castle, and all who lived there.
Ashamed of his monstrous form, the beast concealed himself
inside his castle, with a magic mirror as his only window to
the outside world. The rose she had offered was truly an
enchanted rose, which would bloom until his twenty-first
year. If he could learn to love another, and earn her love in
return by the time the last petal fell, then the spell would
be broken. If not, he would be doomed to remain a beast for
all time. As the years passed, he fell into despair, and lost
all hope, for who could ever learn to love a beast?

(We have seen a progression of stained glass windows illustrating the
narration, as well as JACK/BEAST shredding his portrait. The camera slowly zooms
out from the castle and we see the title. Fade up on the home of [name]. She
exits the front door and begins her walk into town.)

[name]: Little town, it's a quiet village
Every day, like the one before
Little town, full of little people
Waking up to say...

TOWNSFOLK 1: Bonjour!
TOWNSFOLK 2: Bonjour!
TOWNSFOLK 3: Bonjour!
TOWNSFOLK 4: Bonjour!
TOWNSFOLK 5: Bonjour!
[name]: There goes the baker with his tray like always
The same old bread and rolls to sell
Ev'ry morning just the same
Since the morning that we came
To this poor provincial town...
BAKER: Good morning, [name]!
([name] jumps over to the bakery)
[name]: Morning monsieur!
BAKER: Where are you off to?
[name]: The bookshop! I just finished the most wonderful story, about
a beanstalk and an ogre and...
BAKER: (Ignoring her) That's nice...Marie, the baguettes! Hurry up!!
TOWNSFOLK: Look there she goes, that girl is strange no question
Dazed and distracted, can't you tell?
WOMAN 1: Never part of any crowd
BARBER: Cause her head's up on some cloud
TOWNSFOLK: No denying she's a funny girl, that [nickname]!
([name] jumps on the back of a wagon and rides through town)
DRIVER: Bonjour!
WOMAN 2: Good day!
DRIVER: How is your family?

WOMAN 3: Bonjour!
MERCHANT: Good day!
WOMAN 3: How is your wife?

[name]: There must be more than this provincial life!
([name] enters the bookshop)
BOOKSELLER: Ah, [name]!
[name]: Good morning. I've come to return the book I borrowed.
BOOKSELLER: (Putting the book back on the shelf) Finished already?
[name]: Oh, I couldn't put it down! Have you got anything new?
BOOKSELLER: (laughing) Not since yesterday.
[name]: (on ladder of bookshelf) That's all right. I'll borrow...
this one.
BOOKSELLER: That one? But you've read it twice!
[name]: Well it's my favorite! ([name] swings off side of ladder,
rolling down it's track) Far off places, daring
swordfights, magic spells, a prince in disguise!
BOOKSELLER: (handing her the book) Well, if you like it all that much,
it's yours!
[name]: But sir!
BOOKSELLER: I insist!
[name]: Well thank you. Thank you very much! (leaves bookshop)
MEN: (looking in window, then turning to watch her)
Look there she goes
That girl is so peculiar!
I wonder if she's feeling well!
WOMEN: With a dreamy far-off look!
MEN: And her nose stuck in a book!
ALL What a puzzle to the rest of us is [name]!
([name] sits on the edge of a fountain, singing to the sheep and the washing
woman in the background, who leaves)
[name]: Oh! Isn't this amazing!
It's my favorite part because, you'll see!
Here's where she meets Prince Charming
But she won't discover that it's him 'til chapter three!
