After it had rained, my day had considerably brightened. Despite the night before when I poured my heart out to the elf, it was pretty good. Lexy and I had coffee this morning (which is a very bad thing) and ice cream right before we took showers and went to bad. Again, a very bad thing.
"So," Lexy said as we sat on my bed. "What shall we watch tonight?"
I sat staring into space, not really sure if I had heard her. I was thinking about what had happened today, when she had danced with Norrington in the rain, and wondering (furiously) why I had been upset the elf hadn't come out.
"Sunshine?" Lexy waved her hand in front of my face.
"What?"
"What move are we watching tonight?"
I thought for a minute. "Beauty and the Beast." I stood up and rummaged through the cupboards beneath my TV and pulled out the Disney classic movie.
"Why?"
"Because we like Walt Disney's masterpieces and the new Disney stuff sucks, that's why. And-"
"Because you want to sing along with Lumier."
"Precisely."
"Alrighty then."
I popped the videocassette into the VCR and jumped back onto the bed.
"So, how was your dance with the Commodore?"
She laughed. "He only knows how to ball room dance. It was quite the adventure."
"I see."
"Pippin, how have you been?"
"Better, I guess. Bruce is here, so it's not as bad as it would have been."
"I meant about last night. Are you okay after that?"
"What do you mean about last night?" she couldn't know about last night, could she?
"Legolas carried you back here. He said you fell asleep on the roof. What happened?"
"I cried."
"Oh Sunshine…"
"Hey it's all out of me now." Not really. There was one thing that I didn't want to bring up ever again…
"Are you still there?" she knocked on my head.
"Yes." I cringed under her hard knuckles.
"You aren't thinking about the dashing Mr. Darcy are you?"
"No, I was rather thinking about the very intuitive Mr. Collins."
"Why? He leads a double life as the dreaded Cutler Becket."
"Well, perhaps Mr. Collins has a cousin."
We both started laughing uncontrollably. Norrington was walking by to his room and stopped to look at us.
"Hey Norrington! Why don't you come watch this with us?"
He looked skeptically at us.
"Come on James!" Lexy pulled him into the room.
He sat on the sofa, eying me and the TV, which now had Belle dancing and singing through the "small provincial town."
"Why is she singing?"
"We really don't know. But it's good."
Lexy and I started singing along with Belle after Gaston failed at claiming her as his wife.
James covered his mouth to smother his laughter when Gaston fell face first into the mud.
"You can laugh, Norrington."
"I'm sorry. Old habits die hard I suppose."
We were silent for a while and started singing with Lumier (the candle stick) while Belle ate.
Norrington could hardly contain his grin from spreading across his face.
"Pippy, I thought you two were too old for Disney movies." Bruce came into my room and frowned at the TV.
"We will never be too old for the best movies in the world, Dearest brother of mine."
Bruce raised an eyebrow at us and then looked at James. "Are you actually enjoying this?"
"Oh tush, Bruce. You think belle is hot. Not to mention the duster maid thing at the end."
"Oh indeed."
"It is so true! Remember when we heard him talking about them in his sleep?"
"Oh yes." I grinned devilishly at Bruce.
He frowned at us.
"You know you love us."
He shook his head in mock despair, and then Dave came to his side.
"Look Sunshine! It's Mr. Collins' cousin!" Lexy pointed at Dave.
We started laughing again.
"I thought we were supposed to be watching Beauty and the Beast." Lexy said, keeping her face still as stone.
"Well we were, but then all these guys started to invade on our Disney time."
"Oh yes, they did didn't they?"
"Just like they interrupted my Aragorn time."
"What about Lord Aragorn?" Legolas poked his head through the door.
"Nothing oh dashing elf from the far away land of Mirkwod in Middle Earth," Lexy said, batting her eyes.
I noticed Norrington's attitude change a bit.
I could only guess what that meant.
"Somebody's getting jealous." I sang, using the melody from Ever After with Drew Barrymore, and then I laughed, earning many strange looks from all but Lexy who joined my laughter, although I'm pretty sure she had no idea what I was laughing or talking about.
A/N: i know the title doesn't really tie in with the chapter.
but.
there's not enough room for what i was planning (which was The Disney Masterpiece of Strange Happenings) but The Disney Masterpieces of Demise will have to work.
love,
