AUTHOR'S NOTE: From now on, Ollie will be walking on his hind legs, though he will still run on all fours. It really helps that his crush on Lindsay has restored his humanity.


Later that day, as Lindsay was making her bed, Ollie walked up to her, carrying a cup of tea. He then cleared his throat.

"Hey Linds," he announced. "There's something special I'd like to show you in the library."

"Oh, I love surprises!" Lindsay clutched her hands to her chest, feeling excited.

Ollie and Lindsay headed down to the library. It was all covered in books, all surrounding the wall. There must have been around 60,000 books in the library.

"Wow, look at all these books!" Lindsay's eyes glowed. "Have you really read all of these books?"

"Yeah, uh, no," said Ollie. "Some of them are in Hungarian and Icelandic. But there's one book in particular that you might like." He climbed onto a ladder and pulled out a large book that was not properly sorted. He climbed back down and gave the book to Lindsay.

"This book will take you anywhere in the world," said Ollie. "But be careful to only use it at the right time!"

"But I thought I could never leave the castle," said Lindsay.

"I made an exception for you


The next day, Lindsay asked for all the servants to come to her room for a makeover.

"Did you know that if you have any chance to break our curse, we all have to be wearing some more clothing?" Staci poked her head out of the closet. "Shirts, pants, maybe some accessories?"

"Okay Fernando, you're first!" said Lindsay, referring to Francisco. She went to the closet to find a pair of board shorts for him. Francisco tried on the shorts and smiled nervously.

"Yeah, uh, thanks," he said sheepishly.

One by one, Lindsay started giving each of the servants some new clothes. The Chameleon took a green wizard hat and a fake beard. Lindsay applied some gothic makeup to Zippy's face. Bird Brain tried on a pair of apple bottom jeans. Lady Venusaur took a blue police uniform, complete with a hat. Ian Watkins wore a black jacket and some black jeans. Totodile excitedly put on a red baseball cap, a black hoodie, and some skinny jeans. Larry borrowed a pair of green trousers. But Snaptrap didn't look very excited with Staci and Lindsay's fashion style.

"That does it, I'm out of here!" he yelled, as he scurried back to his room.

After everyone was done putting on their new clothes (combined with their shirts from their old outfits), Lindsay handed them a mirror.

"How do you guys look?" she asked everyone.

"...Stupid," said Zippy. However, everyone else was fine with their new clothes.


Everyone soon left, as Mickey and Jay entered the room to talk to their sister.

"We've fully recovered from our spider bites," said Mickey.

"And we'd like to see Dad again," said Jay.

"Oh!" said Lindsay. "Oll... I mean, Mr. Weasel gave me this magical book that can take you anywhere in the world." Lindsay realized that her brothers might not know the Weasel's real name. She walked over to her couch and lifted a book off of the cushions. She walked back to her brothers with the book and opened it.

"We would like to see our father..." said Mickey. "Please." An image of Dwayne appeared inside the book. He was locked inside his car in the cold snow.

"OH NO!" yelled Lindsay. "HE MUST BE FREEZING TO DEATH!" The book then sucked Lindsay and her brothers inside, teleporting them to their father's car. The book also teleported with them.

Mickey, Jay, and Lindsay all appeared by their father's car. Dwayne unrolled the windows to see his three children again.

"It's nice to see you kids again," Dwayne's teeth chattered. "I've finally managed to start the motor... so let's all hurry home." He turned the keys to start the engine, and he managed to program the directions on his cell phone.

When they got home, Lindsay warmed the fireplace because her father nearly froze to death.

"If Alefonda comes for you," she said. "Lock yourselves in the attic so he can't find you." Lindsay then opened the magical book, which transported her back to the castle. But for some strange reason, the book didn't disappear with her. It stayed next to Dwayne.


Days turned into weeks, as Lindsay's affection for Ollie started to grow. One day at breakfast, Francisco poured some tea for Lindsay. But Ollie started to drink out of the kettle! Totodile though this was hilarious, but Lady Venusaur tapped Ollie's shoulder with her vine. He put down the kettle, as Lady Venusaur poured the tea back into a cup. Ollie and Lindsay then started drinking their tea properly.

LINDSAY: There's something sweet
And almost kind
But he was mean
And he was coarse and unrefined

But now he's dear
And so unsure
I wonder why I didn't see it there before

Ollie and Lindsay were outside in the snow, feeding the birds. Ollie then pointed his laser gun at the birds, and Lindsay reminded him to set it down. Lindsay then poured some birdseed into Ollie's paw. He crouched down, and a bluebird flew into his palms. Ollie then smiled excitedly.

OLLIE: She glanced this way
I thought I saw
And when we touched
She didn't shudder at my paw
No, it can't be
I'll just ignore
But then she's never looked at me that way before

Lindsay then stepped behind a tree, watching as some more birds landed onto Ollie.

LINDSAY: New, and a bit alarming
Who'd have ever thought that this could be
True, that he's no Prince Charming
But there's something in him that I simply didn't see.

Back inside the castle, the servants watched Lindsay and Ollie play in the snow.

"...and poof! The spell is broken by midnight!" said Snaptrap excitedly.

"It isn't that easy, Snaptrap," said Larry. "This kind of relationship takes time."

"Well, who'd have thought?" said Bird Brain.

"Well, bless my soul!" said Staci.

"And who'd have known?" wondered Lady Venusaur.

"Well, who indeed?" agreed Francisco.

"And who'd have guessed they'd come together on their own?" said the Chameleon.

"We'll wait and see, a few days more, there may be something there that wasn't there before," the servants all sang together.


Later that day, Ollie was reading to Lindsay in the library.

"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife," he read a passage from Pride and Prejudice. Ollie paused for a second, and realized that he was finally falling in love with Lindsay!

"I'm quite wealthy," he thought to himself. "I'm single... and I really want to marry Lindsay and break this spell... Oh, bugger! I'm finally falling in love!"

The other servants poked their heads into the library.

"Yes, perhaps there's something there that wasn't there before," said Totodile.

"Um, what's there?" said Zippy.

Bird Brain facepalmed in annoyance.
