SIDE 1

(The FAIRIES transform themselves into peasant women. MERRYWEATHER resists. ALL exit with the bassinet. Sixteen years pass. The scene shifts to the Forbidden Mountain. MALEFICENT, hysterical with anger, enters followed by her GOONS.)

MALEFICENT
Aaaarrrrggghhh!!! It's incredible! I've been after the Princess for sixteen years. Sixteen years and not a trace of her! Are you sure you've searched everywhere?

FUMPFEL
Why yes, Your Disgrace.

PEST
We've searched mountains...

BLATHER
And forests...

STENCH
And every cradle for the last sixteen years!

MALEFICENT
You've searched every cradle?

FUMPFEL
Yep!

PEST
Every cradle!

MALEFICENT
Did it occur to any of you that after sixteen years, the baby might grow up?

(The GOONS stare blankly, then, light bulb.)

GOONS
Hey, she's right!

MALEFICENT
Of course I'm right, you nincompoops!

SIDE 2

MALEFICENT
Safe at last, indeed!
(placing a hand on AURORA's shoulder)
There, there, dear.

AURORA
Who are you?

MALEFICENT
Never mind me. What on earth does a beautiful princess like you have to cry about?

AURORA
I met my true love. And now I'll never see him again.

MALEFICENT
I have something to take your mind off your troubles.
(revealing a spinning wheel)
Touch the magic spindle and make a wish... and all your dreams will come true!

AURORA
But I...

MALEFICENT
Touch it!

(AURORA touches the spindle and falls on the bed. MALEFICENT cackles. The FAIRIES enter.)

FAIRIES
Rose! Rose!
