Hey, guys! It's me again! I've returned with a series of one-shots based on Santana, Brittany and their daughter Belle.
Now, you should know every chapter will have a different setting, like every other one-shot. In this chapter, Santana takes Belle to the cinema.
Disclaimer: Do NOT own anything!
1:
Belle is 3 when she goes to the movies for the first time. Her Mama is on tour and her Mami wants them out of the house. She says it's a beautiful day and they should be enjoying it.
Belle asks if it's ok they go to the movies without Mama, but Mami reassures her by saying Mama has already seen this movie a hundred times and she won't be mad; besides, in a few days, she'll be back home and then, Belle can come with both of them to the cinema.
While they're in line to get the tickets, Belle looks around; the cinema is a noisy place, and she can see many little kids like her coming out of one of the rooms, each with a balloon in hand. She wonders if she'll get a balloon.
"Come along, beautiful", her Mami says, pulling her softly behind her. They head to the escalators and Mami tells her to not grab to the handrail. She remembers entering the living-room once, and hearing Mami on the phone saying it's not hygienic to hold to the rail, and she'll do as her Mami says.
She asks Mami what the movie is about; she knows they'll need glasses to see it. It's in 3D. Mami says it's a surprise and that she'll love it. Belle doesn't question it; Mami's usually right. She also says it's her one of her Mama's favorite movies and she's set.
They enter a big room, not before Mami buys a big bucket of buttery popcorn. She says it's not the best they could be having, but this is an exception, for it's the first time Belle's at the movies. They also buy Lemon Ice Tea for Belle and Coca-Cola for Mami.
The room is really big and has the biggest television Belle has ever seen. There also a lot of kids with their daddies and mommies, and even a few bigger kids and adults alone.
They go to their seats, and Mami helps her taking off her coat.
"Are you excited?" Mami asks as she takes a handful of popcorn from the bucket. Belle can't help but nod and number all the reasons she's excited: because it's the first time she's at the movies. She repeats it over and over, in different words, so Mami doesn't think she's thinking like a beginner.
The lights go out and Belle holds a breath in anticipation. The first things she sees is the Disney logo and castle pop up and she squeals. She hears a few people shushing and hears Mami snap at them. Then Mami turns to her and smiles:
"You have to be quiet, beautiful. Other people don't like noise while they're watching a movie, understand?" Belle nods and focuses her attention on the big screen. She loves all Disney movies.
The main character is a brunette girl, just like her; she's pretty, like her. She's incredibly surprised when she hears that the girl is also named Belle!
"Mami, I'm Belle too!" She whispers, trying not to disturb everyone else.
"That's right, beautiful", her Mami smiled, "this is your Mama's favorite movie. Can you guess how you got your name?
"After Belle?"
"Hum-hum." Her Mami confirms and smiles at her. Belle just looks in wonder. She was named after a character from a movie.
Belle lets the conversation die for a while, and centers her attention back to the movie. By half time, she is completely in love.
When the movie ends, Belle is floored.
"I assume you liked, hum, beautiful?" Her Mami laughs.
"It's my favorite movie now, as well, Mami! I like the Beast, just like Belle! I felt so bad for him…but now they'll be happily ever after, and have lots of babies and dance all night long!"
Her Mami laughs as she starts twirling in front of her, doing really good pirouettes; ones her Mama would be proud of.
Belle doesn't know what hit her, but even when they're already walking to the car, she's talking about the movie. As a boy passes them, with his mommy and a balloon, she remembers she wanted one. She looks up at her Mami and sees her watching her sideways.
"You want one?" Belle nods because "duh, Mami!"
They change paths and enter the store again, and Mami gets her the prettiest balloon: it's blue and has big stars all over it.
When they get to Mami's car, she helps her to her car seat and gives her a kiss on the forehead.
"My own little Belle." She murmurs and Belle smiles because she has the name of a movie character.
During the ride back home, Belle sings "Tale as Old as Time" and plays with her balloon while Mami listens. When she sees their house approaching, Mami eyes her through the reviewer mirror and says:
"It's almost dinner time, so when we get home, I want you to be a good girl and go wash your hands straight away, ok?" Belle nods, because she knows what comes after dinner.
"And then?" But she still likes to ask. She sees Mami smile.
"Then we call Mama."
"I can't wait to tell her I'm Belle!"
"I'm pretty sure she knows that already, beautiful. I'm pretty sure she always knew."
Mami's voice appears to be distant but Belle could care less; today she went to the movies for the first time, she's pretty sure she is an enchanted character, who happens to be a princess, and Belle just knows Mami is going to call Mama sooner than she said because she has that gleam in her eyes again.
Ok, I'm back because I just couldn't resist. I know I have yet to update my other story "Gone in the Night", but don't worry, I will. This is just a little something I couldn't get out of my head, because as much as I love Faberry, I also a soft spot for Brittana xD
Now, you're VERY welcomed to leave ideas for chapters. This fic is for you, afterall.
