Sleeping Beauty Exclusive

After hundreds of years being locked up in a castle fast asleep she tells where she�s headed now.

          Has it been five hundred years already?  Wow, no wonder I’m such a beauty!!  You ask what I did when I first woke up?  Well what would you have done?  I found the first available latrine and went for it.  After hundreds of years let me tell you, that felt good.  What did I dream about?  Jeez I really don’t remember.  You would think I would have some sort of idea or little blurb but I really don’t.  I probably dreamt I was awake and living a princess’ life.  But I really couldn’t give any detail.  What am I going to do now?  Well, that, I’m not sure of.  I mean there are so many things out there.  I really need to explore my options.  As you know when the evil spell was cast on me to fall asleep, it also affected my immediate family and all our servants in the castle.  Well now that I’m awake, so are they and they are playing a huge party and inviting all the hottest guys and most popular girls.  They want me to start off my new life right.  The prince that rescued me?  There’s a joke for you.  This guy, let me tell you, was hilarious.  You should’ve seen the look on his pretty boy face when he kissed me and I bolted straight for the restroom.  It was like he had been speared.  When I returned from my relief, he was sitting on the bed waiting.  This guy thought he was Prince Charming or something with his hair all wispy and blonde.  But to be honest, I was never the type who went for blondes.  And he sure was disappointed when my parents got up.  See we made up that whole bit about him getting to marry me if he broke the spell so that there was a guarantee I would get rescued. Cruel I know, but the world has changed a great deal while I was sleeping.  Now a girl has choices.  I don’t even have to take a husband.  I could get an education, a job.  I can even adopt children.  The education thing sounds pretty good.  I like learning.  When I was little I had three step-aunts who used to try to teach me things, I really enjoyed that.  I wonder where they are today; I hope they’re still around, they were magic you know.  No matter, I heard about this amazing thing called the internet.  I can use it to track down anyone and everyone.  My true love could also be waiting for me on this internet.  Have you heard of Match.com?  I’m thinking I may check that out for a prospective date.  It’s just amazing how much this place has changed while I was asleep.  Houses have gotten smaller and are more often made out of wood.  I asked how efficient that was against the attacks from warring kingdoms and was told we don’t have to worry so much about that anymore, not since things called peace treaties and the UN.  I remember it used to be tough trying to keep the kingdom safe.  We were always getting raided by disgruntled dukes and greedy rulers.  People seem so much more peaceful now.  I feel so behind.  I just can’t wait to get started on my education.  I want to become like the girls I read about in the magazines they have today.  Strong women, with careers and families.  So I think that the path for me is to go to school and get a degree and then I will worry about finding my prince charming.  Now if you will excuse me all these questions have worn me out. I think I will go take a little nap before I get started on the rest of my life

It's lovely to see more and more fanfiction of classic fairytales going up on these sites. Sleeping Beauty would have to be my favourite fairytale. This piece was hilarious! She has such an attitude, and I can just imagine the poor prince's face when she rushes for the bathroom. I'd actually love to see more of this. The ending of the original fairytale is quite open, so you could let your imagination go wild.

Interview with the recently awakened sleeping beauty. That is terrific. I like her witty answers, she'd be a natural for day-time TV.

My only comment, it would have been easier to read if broken up into paragraphs. Excellent write and, I think, great originality.
