This is a midquel, to my Fanfiction "One Day I'll Fly Away" and I'd advice you to read that one first, or else some parts of this story will be confusing. This story takes place between Chapter 13 and 14. I first wanted to use songs I know for this, but then I decided, it will include one I wrote myself. It will add something unique to the story. The song will be in chapter 2. This is going to be short story, only 3-4 chapters long.

None of the characters in this story, aside from Michelle and Elena, are mine. They are owned by the Disney Company.


Chapter 1: Mrs. Pott's Secret Plan

A few days after Thanksgiving, Lumiere sat in the servants room, watching his girlfriend Michelle and her friend Elena, from the window as they walked through the snowy garden, talking and laughing. He sighed as he watched her. Michelle had just formed a ball of snow and threw it at Cogsworth, who was walking over to the stables. Lumiere smiled. At least a girl with humor.

"You really do love her, don't you?"

Lumiere turned around, to see Mrs Potts. Her arms were folded and she smiled warmly.

"Well, yes...I guess I do..." Lumieres eyes went back to the girls, who apparently had decided, that building a Snowman was a good idea.

"I haven't seen Elena being so happy in, well, weeks. Michelle's really good for her."

"True." Lumiere shook his head. "I've got to go to the kitchen now, Mrs Potts. See you."

He rushed out and Mrs Potts was left standing there.

Her gaze was directed at the girls, as Madame de la Grande Bouche entered the room.

"Why are you standing here, dear?" she asked.

"Oh, well...I just got an idea."

Grande Bouche looked at her in confusion.

"Well, something quite romantic." Mrs Potts pointed at Michelle out there. Then she leaned over to Grande Bouche. "Do you wanna help me?"


Michelle giggled, when Cogsworth glared at her angrily. "Girl, aren't you a little to old for such nonsense?"

"We're sorry!" Elena said.

Cogsworth nodded and turned to go.

Elena took Michelles arm and now she couldn't suppress a smile.

"You shouldn't do that. It will get you in trouble."

"Ha!" Michelle laughed. "You thought it was fun too!" Elena turned around.

"Maybe, but..." she knelt down.

"But?"

Elena stood up and turned around. She now had a big snowball in her hands. "But this is more fun!" she threw it at Michelle, who jumped out of the way.

"Hey!"

"Girls!" Mrs Potts came over to the two. "Ah, Elena. I really need to talk to you in private, dear." She took the spanish girls hand and dragged her behind a corner, leaving Michelle confused.

"Whoa, Mrs Potts!" Elena raised an eyebrow. "What-?"

"Hush, dear." Mrs Potts smiled. "Me and Grande Bouche are planning something." she whispered. "A romantic surprise for Michelle and Lumiere."

"Oh!" Elena smiled. "Should I help?"

"Indeed, dear. Take care both of them will be in the ballroom tonight. As long as the prince is in Paris again, we may use it."

Elena nodded. "We MAY use it or rather we CAN without him noticing?"

"Oh, you know, dear, it won't hurt him, as long as he doesn't know." Mrs Potts winked at her. "Also, you could ask your friend Fife for music? I don't think we can ask Forte, he doesn't seem to like Michelle nor Lumiere."

Elena nodded.


" I can NOT allow it!" Cogsworth said. "Remember the last time when we used the room at Michelle's birthday?"

"Well..."

"A man died!

"Yes, but what does that have to do with-?"

"Since Michelle arrived, things get out of hand. I mean, I like the girl, I really do, but..."

Mrs Potts scowled. "You can not blame her for the things that happened! She is a good girl with a pure heart. Anyway, we need the ball room. I do believe that Lumiere isn't feeling to sure about his relationship. He's always been a little playboy. Being committed to one woman is hard for him."

Cogsworth sighed. After all, Lumiere was almost like a son to him. "Alright, alright. But remember: Only until midnight!"

"Alright." Mrs Potts said and hugged Cogsworth.


Elena and Madam de la Grande Bouche were on their way to Michelles room. The paintress sat I front of an empty canvas, finishing her best portrait yet. "Finally!" she said as she put the last brush stroke down. Suddenly someone knocked at the door. She quickly put a table cloth over the canvas. "I'm coming!" she shouted . She opened the door and her second-best friend and the Madame de la Grane Bouche came in.

"Oh? What dou you want?"

"Good evening, my dear!" Grande Bouche said. "Me and Elena thought that we could help you a little?"

"Help me?" Michelle was confused. "How?"

Suddenly Grande Bouche grabbed a huge trunk, which she had brought from her room Elena was also caring a smaller box.

Grande Bouche opened the trunk, to reveal a whole lot of dresses and Accessoires, while Elenas box included make up and perfume.

See, we just wanted to know, what kind of dress you'd like. The green dress you wore on your irthday was lovely, but too plain. I'm sure you could get a little more fancy."

Michelle did not know, how to respond.

"Madame, would you mind starting without me?" Elena asked. "I still haveto go somewhere. I'll be back soon."

"Yes, dear. Of course." The madame said, as the black haired girl left the room, to go upstairs and look for Fife. Of course, she soon found him in the music room.

He and Forte were practicing, but the older guy kept putting him down.

When Fife saw Elena, he smiled and put his flute down.

"Elena, it's good to see you." he said.

"You too." They hadn't talked in a while. Ever since Elena had been kicked out of the choir and orchestrate, she had avoided this room.

"What are you doing? We have to-" Forte said.

But Elena didn't even listen. "Look Fife, you need to help me! Mrs Potts is planning to hold a little dance for Michelle tonight. We'd like you to help me make the music for them!"

"Bah!"

"Will you do it?"

"I...yes! I do!"

Elena smiled. "Good. See you tonight. 8:00 p.m in the ball room!"

Fife nodded before Elena left the room. "Goodbye!"
