Hey, Everyone I'm back with a brand new chapter of Great Beauty, and the Great Prince, hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing it. I also thought this chapter would introduce a musical moment, and, so enjoy. Okay for future reference when you see these punctuations quotation marks these babies👉 " ", that's talking, and the muscal notes 🎶 mean singing.
Chapter 2: Little Animals in a Little Town.
Renne's POV
I woke up the next morning like I always did, but after getting dressed in a pair of brown trousers, a yellow short sleeved tunic, with a blue vast over it, and my brown leather boots, that's when I heard a knocking at the backdoor. I was about to answer when I saw a note left by Mother.
Dear Renne,
We've run out of fresh fruit so I'm going to the next village's market to buy some don't go to the castle just yet wait until I get home.
Sincerely with love.
Your Mother.
I also noticed the book she finished, and decided to return it myself, I had read multiple times, and know it by heart. As I opened the backdoor there was Bambi, with a Rabbit, a Skunk, and a female yearling. " Good Morning, Bambi." I said petting his head. " Who are your friends?"
" Good Morning, Renne." He said. " The other fawn is Faline, the rabbit is Thumper, and The skunk is Flower." He said, as he introduced them to me. " Guys this is my special human friend, Renne." He finished.
" Well, Good Morning to all of you, did you just have breakfast?" I asked.
" Yes."
" Mm-hm."
" Yeah."
" Sure did."
" Well I had mine." I said, " I was planning on taking you four to the castle Mother, and I own but, that's gonna have to wait until she gets back." I said. " So what would you guys like to do today instead?" I asked.
" Well could we see how human's live?" Bambi asked, everyone nodded in agreement.
" If your sure, but I must warn you, it is frightfully dull." I commented. " It's the same day after day." I sighed.
" How?" They asked. ( Hit it, Miestro.)
Third Person POV
Renne: 🎶 Little town,
It's a quiet village.
Every day
Like the one before.
Little town
Full of little people
Waking up to say...🎶
( Clock strikes eight o'clock.)
Lady 1: Bonjour
Lady 2: bonjour
Lady 3: Bonjour
Man 1: bonjour
Man 2: bonjour
Renne: 🎶 There goes the baker with his tray, like always
The same old bread and rolls to sell
Every morning just the same
Since the morning that we came
To this poor provincial town. 🎶
" Good morning, Renne." said one of the villigars
" Good morning, Monsieur Jean." Renne said." Have you lost something again?" He asked, as he took off his hat, and the critters giggled.
" Well, I believe I have." answered Monsieur Jean, with his hat still in his hand. " Problem is, I've, I can't remember what?" He finished, as fanned himself absent mindly, with Bambi, Thumper, Flower, and Faline still giggling. " Oh well, I'm sure it'll come to me." He said. " Where you off to?"
" To return this book, Mother borrowed to Pere Robert." Renne answered. " It's about to lovers in Fair Verona."
" Sounds boring." commented Monsieur Jean, as Renne rolled his eyes, at his comment.
" Sounds romantic." Faline commented, dispite not yet knowing what a book was, or for, but Renne petted her on the head anyway.
School Boys: 🎶 Look there he goes, that boy is strange, no question.🎶
School Teacher: 🎶 Dazed and distracted, can't you tell?🎶
Renne, and the animals just stuck their tongues out at them, as they hopped across the stones in the pond.
Wives: 🎶 Never part of any crowd, 'Cause his head's up on some cloud.🎶
Girls: 🎶 No denying he's a funny boy that Renne.🎶
Salesman: 🎶 Bonjour, good day. How is your family?🎶
Customer: 🎶 Bonjour, good day. How is your wife? 🎶
Wife: 🎶 I need six eggs. That's too expensive!🎶
Renne: 🎶 There must be more than this provincial life!🎶
Renne, Bambi, Thumper, Flower, and Faline walked into the library.
" Ah, If it isn't one of the only two bookworms in town!" Pere Robert said, when he saw Renne, and his new friends enter. " Where is your Mother?" He asked.
" She had to get some fresh fruits, and herbs in the next village." Renne answered. " She'll be back soon." Renne explained. " Oh these are some new friends of mine." Renne said. " The two deer are Bambi, and Faline." Renne said pointing out each one respectively. " The Rabbit is Thumper, and The Skunk is Flower." He said. " Guys this is Pere Robert, the local librarian."
" Well hello little ones." Pere Robert said kindly. " So, where did your mother run off to this week?"
" Hm, Well." Renne said looking at the book. " Apparently, Off hand, Two cities in Northern Italy." He deduced. " I don't think she wanted to come back, although I don't think I can blame her." He said as he looked through the small collection of books, that Robert still had, after returning the one he had. " Have you got any new places to go?"
" I'm afraid not." Robert answered. " But maybe you, and your mother may like to re-read any of the old ones that you'd like." He suggested.
" Well maybe, I could introduce my new friends tooooo, this one." Renne said. As he selected a book about Greek Mythology." It's like mother always says, Your library makes our small corner of the world feel big."
" Bon voyage." Pere Robert said, as Renne, and his woodland friends made for the door. " And nice meeting your new friends."
" Good bye." Renne said as he, and his friends left.
Three random Men: 🎶 Look there he goes, that boy is so peculiar.🎶
Local Barber: 🎶 I wonder if he's feeling well.🎶
Local Women: 🎶 With a dreamy, far-off look, and his nose stuck in a book. What a puzzle to the rest of us is Renne.🎶
Renne to his friends: 🎶 Oh, isn't this amazing? It's my favorite part because you'll see. Here's where she meets Prince Charming, But she won't discover that it's him 'til chapter three!🎶
Local Seamstress: 🎶 Now it's no wonder that he's the grandson of Beauty. His mother's looks have got no parallel.🎶
Local Bimbet trio: 🎶 But behind that fair facade. I'm afraid their rather odd.🎶
Local Seamstress: 🎶 Very different from the rest of us...🎶
Local Bimbet trio: 🎶 Their nothing like the rest of us...🎶
Both: 🎶 Yes, different from the rest of us is Renne!🎶
A good distance from the village a pair of men watched Renne, and his friends through a telescope.
" Look at him. LeValet." Chassuer said. " The son of my future wife. Rosa, is the most beautiful girl in the village. That's makes her the best."
" But their so well-read." LeValet pointed out. " And you're so athletically-inclined. Even though Renne is a mix of both."
" Yes, ever since the war, I felt like I've been missing something." Chassuer said. " And even though she already has a son, she's the only girl that ever given me that sense of..."
" Mmm je ne sais quoi?" LeValet asked.
" I don't know what that means." Chassuer said as they began toward the village on horseback.
Chassuer: 🎶 Right from the moment when I met her, saw her. I said, " She's gorgeous." And I fell. Here in town there's only she, Who is beautiful as me, so I'm making plans to woo and marry the mother of Renne.🎶
Bimbets: 🎶 Look there, he goes. Isn't he dreamy? Monsieur Chassuer! Oh, he's so cute! Be still my heart, I'm hardly breathing. He's such a tall, dark, strong and handsome- Oh!" SPLAT!
" It's never gonna happen, Ladies." LeValet informed.
🎶 Bonjour!
Pardon!
Good day!
Mais oui!
You call this bacon,
What lovely flowers.
Some cheese,
Ten yards,
One pound,
Excuse me.
I'll get the knife.
Chassuer: 🎶 Please let me through!
This bread...*
Those fish...**
*..it's stale!
**..they smell!
Madame's mistaken!
Well, maybe so!
Renne: 🎶 There must be more than this provincial life!🎶
Chassuer: 🎶 Just watch, I'm going to make Renne's mother my wife!🎶
All villagers: 🎶 Look there he goes the boy is strange, but special! He's most peculiar can't you tell!
It's a pity and a sin. He nor his mother don't quite fit in.
'Cause he really is a funny boy,
A handsome but a funny boy,
He really is a funny boy,
That Renne!🎶
Renne's POV
" Good Morning, Renne." Chassuer said. " For your mother." He added giving me a bouquet of flowers. I had to admitt that I'm greatful for his ability to take details into account for granted, or he would have slain Bambi, Thumper, Flower, and Faline on the spot. " Nice book."
" Have you read it?" I asked, knowing the answer.
" Is your mother busy?" He asked with a grin.
" She's out of town." I said, " Now excuse me?" I said then he pulled the book out of my bag. " Hey!"
" How can you, or your mother read this thing?" He asked. " There are no pictures."
" It's called using your imagination." I said, slightly agitated. " Now give me back that book, it comes from the library, and I can't afford to have you ruin it." I added.
" Renne you, and your mother need to stop with this thing you two do." He said as he made an attempt to throw the book in a mud puddle, but Bambi caught it, and slipped it into my bag. " Homeschooling, reading, not living in, and ruling from your castle like a Queen, and Prince should. It's time you started living in reality."
" It's how we choose to live our lives." I said. " If we want to live the way we do, that's our choice creep." I said as I turned to go, he put a hand on my shoulder but..." HIYA!" I shouted as I flipped him over it, and onto his back.
As soon as we got back, Mother still wasn't home. " Well, guess we're still on our own for the day." I said. " I'm just glad I have company today." I told them.
" Who was that?" Faline asked.
" That, was Chassuer." I answered. " He's a local hunter, he kills animals for sport." The four of them shuddered. " Yeah, he likes my Mother, but the problem is no matter how many times he asks her, She will always say No, for obvious reasons."
" So." Thumper said. " What did ja' get?"
" It's called a book." I answered, as I opened it. " These leaf looking things are called pages the have words written on them that tell stories." I explained. " If you like I could teach you how to read."
But the chores needed to be done, I was almost said that, I wouldn't get the chance to teach them, but then I remembered. " Come." I said as I grabbed that barrel, and with my beast strength, and the dirty clothes, and went down to the local wash well to do the laundry. My friends joined me as I walked down there.
" Hello Jack." I said to the Donkey. " Would you mind helping me with something today?" I asked. As I gave him an apple I had bought earlier.
" Of course I will." He answered as I hitched him up, and he pulled the barrel full of soap, and dirty clothes. While I had time to teach Bambi, Thumper, Flower, and Faline how to read. They were eager students, Flower took his time, to enjoy it, Faline was quick to get the hang of it Thumper, was slow at first but picked up, and Bambi learned at an impressive pace I was very proud. Then...
" What are you doing?" one of the village girls about my age asked me. I knew I'd get it big time if I told them I was teaching animals to read.
" Laundry." I answered, then I decided to let her in on what I had to offer. " Come, come." I said, jesturing for her to do so.
Soon she was reading beautifully. " The... Blue... Bird... That... Flies... Over the dark wood." She read as Thumper sat in her lap. Like Bambi, Thumper, Flower, and Faline she started off with sounding out the words slowly, and sped up as soon as she got the hang of it.
" Amazing job." I praised.
" What on earth are you doing?" asked The Local Teacher, I was suddenly grateful I had given Bambi, Thumper, Flower, and Faline their basic reading lesson. " Teaching another girl to read, Isn't your mother being able to enough?" He asked, in a disapproving manner.
" We have to do something about this." Said, One of the village wives also disapproving of what I was doing. They were about to destroy My mother, and my washing invention, but I was quick, and grabbed Flower, aimed his spray zone at them, and cocked the tail back ( sorry if that sounds wrong, hopefully you readers know what I mean.) which made the clicking sound of a gun being locked, and loaded.
" Don't anybody move!" I shouted. " This skunk's loaded, and I'll let you have it!" I threatened in a serious manner. making almost everyone run away frightened. " Enjoy the rest of your day!" I called afterwards. " Sorry about that, Flower."
" It's alright, Renne." He said. " I don't mind." After the laundry was done, and I had finished teaching the girl to read for the day, my friends, and I went home I remembered, to pay Jack another apple for his help. When...
" RENNE!"
And the day just keeps getting better. " What is it?!" I shouted at Chassuer. " I was just teaching that sweet, little girl how too read, the same way my mother taught me!" I said.
" Well maybe the only children you should concern yourself with, are your brothers." He suggested.
" WHAT?!" I shouted in disbelief. " Chassuer, my Mother, and I have made it clear you are not right for us, now get off our porch NOW!" That one came out as a roar rather then a shout. Anyway I slammed the door. I heard him sway then SPLAT, He fell right into a pig's mud puddle. ( I watched this through the window, with the others, as he squalched away.
" Wow, I definitely don't like him at all." Bambi said.
" Yeah, he's nothin' butta biiig, meanie." Thumper agreed.
" He's like Ronno on two legs." Faline added, in disgust, when she saw my my confused face. " He's this yearling who lives in our forest, he thinks he's better then everyone else just because his spots have faded, and his antlers are coming in." She explained. " He likes me alot, and tries to get to like him too. He always bullies other animals smaller then him."
" Well, I thought it was nice of you to teach us, and that girl how to read." Flower said.
" Thanks guys." I said. " I can't believe him sometimes." I said looking at him with disdain. " Can you imagine. My mother, and I with that horrible, disgraceful, disgusting, dispicable, borish, brainless..."
( Music again please Miestro.)
🎶 Juniore Gaston!"
Can't you just see it?
And Madame Gaston!"
His "little son, and wife"
No sir! Not us!
I guarantee it
We want much more than this provincial life.🎶
Bambi, Thumper, Flower, Faline, and I ran for the hill just outside the village.
🎶 I want adventure in the great wide somewhere
I want it more than I can tell
And for once it might be grand
To have someone understand
I want so much more than they've got planned.🎶
After that I collapsed on the ground, and enjoyed the soft breeze, and warm sunlight, as I relaxed letting my troubles, and pressures dry up in the sun's rays, and blow away.
The End.
