"Wada? How Shea show feelings for Bella?"
Shea paced up and down the warm spring grass. Many mushrooms coated the dry terrain, and a small river weaved its way around them. Shea had always thought it lead to the Kingdom of Shadows. A place of dreams, happiness -- no, more than that. Bliss, sweet bliss…
Everything was wonderfully perfect in the Kingdom of Shadows. Just where Annie was now... If Shea could bring Bella to any place in the world, it would be that.
"Wada not answering me. I go somewhere else for my questions answer."
And so, Shea walked all over Verdure and Sprout Island, looking for someone able to answer his questions... He needed to find someone who knew the ways of a different bachelorette, someone who could find out everything about a girl in five seconds. Will.
"If I'm not mistaken, you're a bit confused about how to make a relationship work. No fear, I should be able to help."
Bella was being thrown around like a rag doll. The Witch Princess was having too much fun with an old spell she found in her magic books.
"ENOUGH!!!" Bella screamed. Overcoming...
"Paranormal! You... Stay away from Bella! Mizu won't be pleased..."
"Yes, Princess of Witch..."
Bella's senses came back to her. She didn't care what just happened... Just waiting for an end... She was so unaware of life...
"BELLA!!! ANNIE!!! COME!!! IT'S... AH!"
Sabrina dragged Bella and Annie by the arms. She rushed them over the her mansion, and crouched down under the window. They crouched down beside her, wonder filling their sparkling eyes. "Sh.. Look," Sabrina pointed to a corner in the room. Regis and the Pauidans' mom sat at a table, drinking tea.
"Dear... I know you've always been one for a fast-motion relationship... Think I'd follow you in on that..."
"I knew it! He tried to hide it from me! BLUE FEATHER!!!"
"If only you'd accept this," Regis said as he pulled out a blue feather, proposing.
"Tell me one good reason why not to," She said, smiling. She then reached up, and kissed him.
"And that, Shea, is how NOT to propose to someone. Now, shall we get back and review this lesson?"
"Will! What are you doing?! You can't just sneak up on me like that! You have to ask me before you watch the private viewing of Father proposing to Harumai!"
"Our mom's name is Harumai?"
"Uncle. You would say Uncle around me. I really should get going..." With that being said, Will walked off. Shea was nowhere to be found.
"Fine," Sabrina said, obviously very annoyed.
Bella threw open the door. It slammed against the wall, shaking the whole house.
"Mom! I don't see you for eleven years; you let Dad throw me into an orphanage, and now this?! You're going to marry the father of the person who almost killed me?! Go ahead... I just expect to be in your will, Regis."
"I... I almost killed you...?"
One week later~ "Bella look very pretty," Shea smiled. He wore a dark jacket, and his hair was slicked back. It was still as crazy as ever, but at least he tried. Bella, on the other hand, wore a black frilly dress. Her hair was in a French braid, slung over her shoulder. The most detail she had was a small leather necklace. It was just a leather string with two feathers at the end, but she treasured it.
"I am SO sorry! Bella, I... I can't believe what I did to you! If you could ever forgive me..."
"Save your apologies for when you really need it, big sister. Haha. I'm never gonna get use to that," Bella said contently. "Cheer up, this is supposed to be a happy time. Don't ruin it. Hm... Fashionably late as always. Hi, Vaughn!"
"Wedding? Haha... Where's the drinks?"
"Vaughn!"
"I'm kidding, Sweetheart..." Vaughn put his arm around Sabrina. She blushed heavily, and then forced him into the deepest kiss ever. French, even.
"That's twenty years bad luck. Try starting a family with that on your records. Ugh! Annie... Pierre... Whoa... Didn't think Elliot had it in him..."
"Haha! No bad luck for us, Bella. Everyone else cursed."
"That isn't even real... Didn't even have to say it..."
Shea pulled Bella close to him, nose to nose. "Love, Bella." With that, their first kiss.
Romance was definitely in the air that night. Everyone was all over each other. Elliot and Julia, Natalie and Pierre, Vaughn and Sabrina, Annie and Denny, Will and Lily, Bella and Shea, even Chen had asked Felicia if she would dance with him. Yep, romance is hidden in the pages.
"Third time's a charm, ain't it, Bells?"
"A keeper."
"Haha! I expect something in return... Hint,hint."
"No. I'm not finding you a prince. If you want one, he's over there making out with Lily."
The Witch Princess was the only one who was alone and desperate. She hoped mark, the new guy would ask her to dance, but instead he asked Chelsea. He didn't seem to enjoy it a whole lot, but it had to be better than someone who could burst him into flames at any given moment.
"This is prom night all over again... Ugh, it sucks."
"Nice to see your enjoying yourself."
"Shut up, Rallism. I may not be able to call you Pauidan anymore, but I can still use it against you. Ouch, looks like Frenchy's got a nice shiner.
How'd that happen?"
"Late birthday present."
"Nice one. I'm proud."
"If I have to look at that any longer, I'm gonna throw up."
"I know... It's like their looking for each other's brains. It's just sick. Chef's done a number on Natalie too. She's still traumatized..."
"Hey, Annie. Where's Denny?"
"He's gone to go get us some food. He just passed mom's standards. Shea's gonna take forever. I stand corrected..."
"Bella! Want food? Shea go get us some."
"That sounds nice. Anything meaty, I guess."
"Okay! Shea be right back!"
Shea calmly walked over to the food table, his etiquette unreal.
"Vaughn still hasn't even talked to our parents yet. He's busy... Ugh," Annie shivered.
"Bella. My eye still hurts. Make it stop hurting."
"Why? You just bored 'cause your date's gone on a rampage? Haha. Her face was priceless."
"Yes...," Pierre groaned as her plopped himself on the bench Bella and Witch Princess were sitting on. "I... I really miss you, Bella. It's like my life's fallen apart... I'm so sorry..."
"I'm not taking you back. I promised I would find someone who cared, then stay with them forever.
"I'm so tired of having them say, 'I'm never going to forgive you, but I'll never forget you.
It's a chronic burning, raging and raging-"
"Okay. I get it. I screwed up, and I've got to take responsibility for my actions." Pierre got up, looked around, and then joined Natalie's family in a conversation.
"Hey, Annie. I got the food."
"See you, Bella," Annie said as she left with Denny.
Every time Shea slipped on the tile, for some weird reason, Julia would yell "power slide". Bella didn't know why, but she did. Her yelling was a sign that Shea was coming back. He never spilled anything, but would bruise himself.
"Back, Bella." Shea took Bella's liking seriously. The plate was covered in assorted meats, pork ribs to sashimi. He grabbed Bella by the hand, and led her to the family table. Two empty seats remained, in which they sat down in.
"So, Vaughn. Mind if I call you that? I can tell you've taken a great liking to my daughter. Just curious, what exactly do you enjoy about Sabrina?" Harumai asked the cowboy.
"Everything. There's nothing not to like."
"Haha. Real funny. I'm sure to be pleased if you copy Shea's answer. I won't mind a bit, now won't I?"
Shea blushed. He had thought that Bella would find his answer strange, but she didn't seem to feel that way. She leaned closer to him, smiled, and giggled. He placed his arm around her, and smiled as well.
"Ugh... "
"It's soo fluffy! Ah..!"
Annie rolled around in her new bed, amazed with all the goose feathers.
"We'll be back in three days, think you can handle it, Sabrina? You'll be in charge."
"Of course, Father."
Regis left the mansion, now on a boat to the big city for a honeymoon.
"I'm so not staying here. It's too big..."
"Where you going, then?"
"Shea..."
"We're not supposed to invite any guys."
"Mom and dad aren't here, right? So it's not like their gonna find out. And in case they asked Will to report, we invite him so if he tells, he'll also get in trouble."
"Clever," Sabrina replied. She picked up her phone, and dialed Vaughn's number. They conversed for a little bit, next thing you know, he was over there and making out with Sabrina.
"Bella everything. Die without Bella," Shea gasped through his heavy breathing. They refused to stop, sensationally kissing constantly. Shea was on top of Bella, pressing her into the bed.
"Bella?" Sabrina walked in the room, her face pink. She held her hands behind her back, and smiled joyously. Vaughn crossed his arms as they hung over her. She then revealed what was behind her back. A long, slender, blue object. The blue feather.
