When
the world is darker than I can understand When nothing turns out the
way I've planned When the sky turns grey and there's no end in sight
When I can't sleep through the lonely night I turn to you Like a
flower leaning towards the sun I turn to you 'Cos you're the only one
Who can turn me around when I'm upside down
I turn to you When my
insides are wracked with anxiety You have the touch that will quiet
me You lift my spirit. You melt the ice When I need inspiration, when
I need advice I turn to you Like a flower leaning towards the sun I
turn to you 'Cos you're the only one Who can turn me around when I'm
upside down
I turn to you Where would I be? What would I do? f
you'd never hepled me through I hope someday if you've lost your way
You could turn to me like I turn to you
I turn to you Like a
flower leaning towards the sun I turn to you 'Cos you're the only one
Who can turn me around when I'm upside down I turn to you I turn to
you
When fear tells me to turn around I turn to you 'Cos you're
the only one Who can turn me around when I'm upside down I turn to
you I turn to you I turn to you-Melenie C" I turn to you"
Authoress Note:Sorry for the delay, but I have been busy lately with my new job and all. I will do my best to do more chapters. But this will get finished I swear on Clopin's life.
Clopin: Hey!
This chapter is sort of short.Just because I did not want to do the entire Feast of Fools scene. I
Chapter Six: Princess and the Lion and angry dad
Jaqueline and myself meet Clopin outside. " So, have you picked out your puppets?" He asked her. We followed him into his wagon.The curtians to the stage part were closed.Jaqueline continued to dig through the puppets she had before. I smiled at Clopin. He took my hand." That kiss, Madam Frollo...was it by any chance a spur the moment or was it because you want me?"
I knew then I was blushing as I felt my face turn hot. I looked away from him. He chuckled and gently titled my cheek. He removed his hat and slid his mask on his forehead. He looked into my eyes. His fingers stroked my soft cheek. I smiled and then lightly kissed his lips." I like them!" Jaqueline said. She lifted a prince, princess, and a lion." Can you make a story with them?" She asked.
" Not alone." Clopin said, exchanging glances with me.
"What?" I asked.
" I would like it if you became my assistant today." He said. I smiled and nodded my head. Jaqueline giggled, and jumped out of the wagon.
I looked at Clopin." But Clopin, I do not know what story we are doing?" I asked.
" Ah but dear Isabelle thats the beauty of it, we're maing it up as we go. " He said giving me a kiss on the lips. I respondd ardently. We eased from the kiss slowly. Clopin smiled and slid his mask and hat back on. He winked at me. And handed me the puppet of the princess." Here, just go with it. Alright, Isabelle." The curtains opened. I could hear childiren mumbling outside the wagon. I took a deep breath as Clopin started. With puppet of himself, we both knelt down wear only the puppets could be seen.
" Attention dear children I've a new tale for you." The puppet of Clopin began." The tale of a beautiful and waelthy, Princess..." He paused nudging my arm, I lifted the puppet."...Poppy. One afternoon, Princess Poppy gathered daisies alone..."
He looked at me," Oh!Oh...These are so lovely. Mayhaps my father the king would enjoy them." I said in a tinier voice then I usually . I paused upon seeing he had lifted the lion puppet" Oh what have we here then?"
"Roar!" Clopin did the deep voice of the lion." I am a great lion. What have you there beautiful princess!"
"Daisies, dear lion, would you like to smell them?" I asked then looked at Clopin I tried not to laughed.
" You're doing fine." He whispered to me.Then he returned to his lion character." I believe I would indeed like to smell them." The lion said.
Abruptly Clopin's lion made a false sneeze and out of nowhere fake petal flew about. " Alas these flowers are deadly to me. However." Paused the lion." You shall make a delighful wife."
"Oh...dear. Help help..." Cried my princess.
Clopin's puppet of himself." Alas no one could hear her cries. None but a prince..." The puppet paused and Clopin slowly stood up," However we'll save that answer for tomorrow." He said. " Now I would like you all to give a hand to my lovely assistant, Isabelle Frollo." I smiled and stood up straight. And took a slight bow. the children clapped for me. I knew I was blushing and that Clopin, he too watched me. But he as I soon came to discover was not the only one. As I lifted my eyes to the crowd. Father stood there. His arms as always crossed over one another. I cleared my throat, and Clopin must have seen how nervous I was, as he spoke for me." What an honor, the great Judge Claude Frollo has choosen to see one of my shows. " He said. I smiled at him.
I came outside of the wagon and smiled at father, still he glared."Uh...might I assume you have been standing there the whole time."
Well. to say really that did not go very well. As Father drug me by my earlobe and Jaqueline following. I knew Clopin was not smiling as I left.
The next morning, the Feast of Fools. I danced alone in the ballroom, wearing a red and black Asian dress. My hair in a bun and chopsticks criss crossed in my hair.And my mask over my face. " Isabelle." Jaqueline called.
I paused and looked down at her. She continued." There is a really handsome man here to see father I don't know where he is, so I brought him to you." She said. My eyes widened slightly. There was a tall man, in gold armor. He was handsome. But not my cup of tea.
" Excuse me, miss, but I am looking for Minister Frollo." He began. He looked at me for a moment." Forgive me, I am Captain Phebos."
" Isabelle Frollo. That is my little sister, Jaqueline. Father is in the dungeon." I said and lead him into the dungeons. Where Father was busy whipping his last captian of the Guard.
We stood in the door way," he's very anal." I whispered.
" Ease up!" Father said to the man doing the whipping.
" Sir?"
" Ease up. Wait between lashes. Otherwise the oldest sting will dull him to the new." He said. I rolled my eyes and left Phebos alone to speak with father, while I too off. To the setting up of the Feast of Fools. There were Tents set up and a large crowd of people. I smiled and looked for Clopin. I saw a long yellow feather. And heard the sound of a set of bells chiming. I followed into a tent. Clopin had his back to me.
I smiled and crept up. He must have sense me, as he quickly turned and pulled me into a passionate kiss.I wrapped my arms around his shoulders.Abruptly the puppet of his came out of nowhere." Where's my kiss!"
I looked down. Smile and give it a little kiss." Go away!" Snapped Clopin.He smiled nervously.He saw my chopsticks," you know you could easily shank someone with those."
" Shank?" In asked with a lifted eyebrow.
" Stab." he explained.
"Oh, I see. Why would I want to shank someone, Clopin?"
" Well just in case I mean." He said.Just as music and singing started.
" I must get out there, will you meet me after the Feastive today?" He asked.
I responded with a kiss. And ran outside, not far, was a huge black tent where father and I sit and watch the Feast of fools.
