She spent the morning singing to her friends about how she’d had a glorious dream.
In it, she’d met the most wonderful prince. Briar Rose was convinced he was her true love.
Little did Briar Rose know, a prince was passing nearby at that moment. He was Prince Phillip, the very prince that the king and queen had planned for her to marry.
Phillip didn’t know that Briar Rose was a princess either. But he was so taken with her beautiful song, he hopped off his horse.
Phillip emerged from the trees, and as he and Briar Rose sang and danced together, she realized that this man reminded her of the prince in her dreams.
She felt as if she’d always known him. Briar Rose was excited for him to meet her aunties, so she invited him to come to the cottage that evening.
She knew that she was falling in love.
But when Briar Rose returned to the cottage, her aunties told her that they were good fairies and she was a princess.
She was supposed to return to her parents’ castle that night. There she would meet the prince she was already engaged to marry.
Briar Rose was overcome with sadness. She only wanted to marry the man she had just met, her dream prince.
When Aurora arrived at the castle, the three fairies left her alone to mourn. But Maleficent soon appeared to make sure her curse came true.
She put Aurora in a trance and led the princess to a spindle hidden high in the castle. There, Aurora pricked her finger and fell into a deep sleep.
When the three fairies found Aurora, they realized that Maleficent’s evil curse had come true.
They took the sleeping princess to the tower room and then cast a deep sleep over the whole kingdom.
Now they had to find Aurora’s true love from the forest so he could give her True Love’s Kiss.
It didn’t take the three fairies long to recognize that Prince Phillip was the man Aurora had met in the forest – her betrothed was her true love!
But he was in Maleficent’s dungeon. The fairies freed him and then armed him with the Sword of Truth and the Shield of Virtue.
Now he was prepared to fight the evil fairy and save Aurora!
But the evil fairy was not easy to defeat.
Back at the castle, Phillip came face-to-face with Maleficent, who had transformed herself into a giant, fire-breathing dragon.
