Three Months Later
Well, Belle still hasn't broken the curse. At the rate this is going, self will be on this assignment forever.
Belle has seemed to get accustomed to Rupert's castle. Every now and then, she will see something that will remind her of her dream that she had long ago. She found a picture of Rupert, much to Headquarters dismay. But then figured that said picture might work in our favor. Did not matter anyway; Belle did not return to gallery after seeing picture. Have suspicion that picture makes her remember the dreams, and that makes her uncomfortable. Oh well.
Rupert and Belle are getting along as well as can be expected. Are carrying on intelligent conversations. Mostly about Rupert, but still, at least they are talking. One day, Rupert actually asked Belle to dance! Fate nearly fell into Looking Well (where we watch all of this), he was so shocked. The thing was, Rupert asked Belle to marry him after they danced. Nothing unusual about that, he dose that every night. But Belle went all flustered and ran inside. Rupert had the good sense to follow her. Belle asked if they couldn't just be friends, and Rupert agreed to that. Sort of.
The next day, Belle discovered the garden gate. Headquarters was delighted, as symbolic poem is inside. Fate had unicorn lure Belle to statue of Pan where poem was. 'Seek within/To wisdom gain;/Thus relieve/All worldly pain./' Didn't write that one myself, so don't quite understand it. Has something to do w/ Rupert, I'm sure. Belle didn't understand it either. Unfortunately, Rupert wouldn't explain it to her, so meaning still remains unclear.

Two Days Later
Was greeted with a sense of deja vou when arrived in Headquarters today. Red Alert light and siren were going off and fairies were dashing/flying around everywhere. Apparently no one can do anything without supervision. Head Fairy Sprite saw me and immediately dashed up to me and said, 'Belle wants to go back home!' Was unimpressed. Had been expecting it for a while now, but then Head Fairy Sprite added, 'And Rupert is letting her!' That caught my attention. Apparently Rupert is letting Belle go home for a week. Obviously. But he could die in that time! Head Fairy Sprite then outlined an elaborate plan to make Belle stay, and ended it with, '"Do you understand me?" "Seldom if ever," I replied. "But therein lies your charm. Why don't you just send me into one of her dreams?" Head Fairy Sprite saw the logic in that, and the Mortal Dream Control was soon working. Was soon sent into Belle's dream. Stood there looking at her in concern for a while. I wanted to find out what could possessed her to leave. Her father, that's what. I could tell Belle was trying to talk, but the Mortal Dream Control had put a block on her voice. I motioned to Belle, who rose and followed me. I was then brought back to Headquarters, Belle was sent into the garden that had the statue of Pan in it, and Fate sent his unicorn down. Belle sat down and hugged the unicorn for a little while, then the dream faded.
Unfortunately, the magic had worked while the dream was in play, and Belle was back at her father's house. Father was happy to see her, and insisted that she not go back. Got mad at that. She has to keep her promise! Belle was mindful of that, and said that she had to return in a week. Stupid father kept insisting that she stay for good. Self will have to do something about him; he's getting on self's nerves.
Rupert had sent a chest after Belle full of her clothes. Belle insisted on giving them to her sisters. Was now at boiling point, and made chest disappear with some of Fate's powers that self channeled. Father guessed that 'the beast' wanted the dresses for her alone, so I sent the trunk back. Fate came staggering in and said that he felt weak and probably couldn't cast a spell to save his life. Oops.
Evil sisters have gotten married. Husbands are as bad as the sisters. Of course the sisters were instantly jealous of Belle's happiness, never mind the fact that Rupert has given them tons of riches because of Belle. Sisters soon escaped to garden and started plotting. Was worried about their plan to make Belle stay longer, but figured that Belle would catch on.
Have never been so utterly wrong in my life. Belle gave into her sister's pleas to stay longer. Sisters hope that her absence will make 'the beast' unhappy and that he will take everything away from her. How narrow-minded is that?
Well in the meantime, Rupert was slowly wasting away. It's got to be hard on the boy. After all, he is just a teenager and he had to go though this horrible transformation and his girl up and left him. Belle must come home!
