Hey guys! I'm back for my second fanfic! I hope you liked my first one! Thanks for all the generous reviews! Enough about me and on with the story.

This is about C and J of course. Lol. But just a little story I came up with while watching the movie. What would've happened if Clarisse had accepted Joseph's proposal while they were dancing? Well, this is my take on what might have happened. Disclaimer: I own NOTHING! Except the plot. J

The Heart Does Things…

Chapter 1

Clarisse was dancing in the ballroom listening to the music playing in the background, thinking of a special someone. Then, just like she'd imagined it in her head, he came sweeping through and started dancing with her.

"Oh! Joseph!" she said, staring lovely into his eyes. She saw the pain and the hurt that he had endured throughout his life. She knew the reason he was here. He wanted to know if she had thought about the proposal…and she had. That had been the only thing on her mind since he asked.

"Clarisse?" Joseph asked, her head coming off his chest and looking into his eyes. He could get lost in those lovely eyes made of blue. Staring in them made it feel like she was looking deep into his soul. Unbeknownst to him, in a way, she was.

"Yes, Joseph?" Clarisse asked. She knew the question was coming, she just didn't know her answer.

"Clarisse, I need to know. Have you been thinking about us?" The words hit her like a speeding bullet. She didn't know how to put her feelings into words. She could feel the tears welling up in her eyes. Clarisse tried with all her might to hold them back, and she did for a while. She held them long enough to speak.

"Yes, Joseph. I have been thinking about us." Joseph's heart sank when he heard the tone of her voice. Her voice was breaking, as was his heart.

"Joseph, I…"

"Clarisse, if you don't want to marry me, please just tell me. I can't bare this any longer. Please-" Joseph was cut off by Clarisse's lips lightly touching his in a soft, but passionate kiss.

"Does that answer your question? Joseph, I would love to marry you. I gladly accept your hand in marriage." She said, as Joseph picked her up and twirled her around the dance floor.

"Oh Clarisse! I have loved you since the day I stepped foot into this palace. I can't believe you are marrying me!" Joseph was ecstatic, as was Clarisse. At that time, everything was going well. But not for long. Soon a certain person from Clarisse's past would be back to try to destroy all hope of her 'Fairy Tale Ending' with her beloved Joseph.

Okay guys. That's it for Chapter one. Should I go on? Please R&R. Thanks so much!
