"I wish you wouldn't encourage her," Amore muttered sotto voce. "The last thing we need is her to mess up the couples."

"I heard that, Amore," Layla whispered. Arching a brow, she added, "Besides, wasn't it just a while ago when you were plotting to give your magic flowers to Sky and that singer from the dance? That could mess with the couples, as well, you know."
Giving Amore a warm smile, Layla continued, "Give Belle a chance, okay? I'm betting she misses the other pixies just as much as you do - maybe this little plan of hers will occupy her mind."

Belle arched an eyebrow. "What singer? And Prince Charming? Oh, that could be just utterly delicious. Is the singer pretty? Oh, tell me she is." Belle couldn't help but begin to plot. Oh this was going to be fun.

"I was going to give the singer one to find her true love, and one to Sky so he could stay faithful to Bloom," Amore said, looking down at her hands. "Besides, at least mine doesn't require transformations."

Layla smiled at Belle and shrugged her shoulders. "I guess she was pretty - I don't really remember. But she had a great voice. Amazing, actually. But don't get any ideas, Belle, about putting the singer and Sky together - you know Sky has a girlfriend. And a good one at that."
Sighing internally, Layla knew that Belle would be getting many ideas - probably very outlandish ideas. Hating to ruin Belle's fun, but knowing that she would have to draw a line sometime, Layla added, "Belle, maybe Amore is right. Maybe your idea for transformations is a little, well, more than a little, extreme."

Amore silently cheered. Maybe that would keep Belle from doing something stupid. Besides, she doubted Sky would even pick the singer - he was happy with Bloom... wasn't he? Oh well, not really her problem.

"I could always make them think they were transformed, and the girls could be made to think the boys transformed," Belle ventured. "It's just, I think Eros would agree with me, what with this plan and all. Besides, it keeps me from thinking about my match." She lowered her eyes. "Amore can feel hers, I can't feel mine..."

"Was I right, Belle - is that what this is all about? You're thinking up this big plot to distract yourself from thinking about the other pixies?" Gently Layla held Belle in her palm. "You know you could always just talk to us; it might make you feel better . . ."

Belle wordlessly nodded before breaking into tears. She hadn't seen her match since they were caught by Darkar and she feared the worst. "I haven't seen him since the other pixies were caught by Darkar and I can't feel him at all," she whimpered. "Why can't I feel him, Layla?"

"Oh, Belle; why didn't you say something sooner? You shouldn't have had to go through what you're feeling alone." Stroking the pixie's head with the tip of her finger, Layla said soothingly, "Shhh, it's going to be all right. You've got to believe it. And when you do believe, then you'll feel him. As the ancient sages say, once you stop believing in something, it ceases to exist."

Belle sniffed softly and reached down for a napkin to wipe her eyes. "It just hurts. I feel so alone with out him," she whispered. "In fact, I have trouble remembering his name now. Does that mean he's gone?"
OOC: you know, they never gave the beast a name in the Disney version so... any suggestions are welcome, if not encouraged LOL

"No, it doesn't mean he's gone," Layla said softly. "It means that your mind has most likely repressed the memory of him because it's too painful for you to deal with. It's not your fault, Belle. I'm sure if you start talking about him, you'll remember. Say anything you remember about him - his favorite color, his voice - anything." OOC: You know, I never realized that the Beast was never given a name. I tried to think of one to give him, but somehow nothing seems to sound right with "Belle." It's always been Belle and the Beast - well, technically, Beauty and the Beast, but same thing almost. Yeah, I know; I'm not much help

Belle bit her lower lip in thought. "I remember his voice can be a bit gruff," she ventured quietly. "And he didn't look like the other pixies. But he did cut a dashing figure in that blue outfit you found him."
OOC: according to a trivia site, Beast's real name is Adam. You find out in the book: Official Encyclopedia of Disney by Dave Smith... But I think I'll keep him as "Beast", at least for now ::laughs:: Adam doesn't sound too princely

"That's good, Belle," Layla encouraged, giving the pixie a gentle smile. "You're on the right track, you know - I'm sure that you'll remember everything the more you think about your memories of him. And you know what? I'm sure he remembers you too - just like I'm sure Eros remembers Amore."
Leaning back against her chair, Layla quietly observed her small friends. Whispering in a soft voice that only she could hear, she added to herself, "At least I hope so . . ."

Both pixies seemed to brighten at that thought. At least, Belle more so then Amore. "Do you think he and Eros will help us get the couples into the right pairings?" Belle asked, fairly bouncing. She glanced over at the ice cream and looked at Layla. "May I have some too?"
