Chapter 6: The Day with the Girl
The next day, Bennett was looking out his window for Lilly, smiling. He was so excited to see her again if she came over. Then his door opened, but he didn't look away from the window. It was Adam and Belle; Belle asked him, "Bennett, what are you doing?" He sighed and said while smiling, "Looking for Lilly. I want to see her again today. Maybe every day." Adam said, "She might come. How long have you been sitting there?" He replied, "All day. I'm telling you guys, I'm in love with this girl already. Plus, the rose is almost about to lose all its petals. So I better tell her that I'm in love with her." Adam said, "Bennett, you really don't have to tell her that you love her. You basically have to say that you are. Then, she has to also." Bennett asked, "You don't?" Belle said, "Nope. I started loving your dad when I kept hanging with him. I showed him that when we threw snowballs at each other." Adam smiled at her and Bennett was still looking out the window. Then, Lilly was walking up to their castle and Bennett happily yelled, "Lilly!" He jumped and quickly ran down to meet her at the door. The couple looked at each other and Belle said, "Yeah. He loves her." Adam said, "Let's just hope that she eventually loves him. He's so close to breaking the spell." Then they walked downstairs to watch him meet her. Downstairs, Bennett opened the door and Lilly was standing there. They smiled at each other and she said, "Hi Bennett." He said, "Hi Lilly. Come in, please." She walked in and he closed the door. He asked her, "Um, did you eat breakfast?" Lilly said, "Um, no. Did you?" They smiled and he said, "Nope. Do you want to have breakfast with me?" Lilly smiled and said, "Of course." He smiled and said, "Great!" They kept smiling at each other and then they reached for each other's hands and they grabbed each other's hands. They smiled and then walked to the dining room to eat. Up on the stairs, Adam and Belle saw them hold hands. Belle asked him happily, "Did you see that?! They both went for each other's hands! She likes him!" Adam smiled and said, "Of course she does. It's very obvious." They then smiled at each other and walked to the dining room. In the dining room, Bennett and Lilly sat next to each other and Chip brought them both some oatmeal. Chip said as he handed them the food, "Here you guys go. I hope you like it." They both said, "Thank you." Then, Chip walked out of the room. They started eating, and once again, Adam and Belle were watching them. Bennett asked, "So, how was your day?" Lilly said, "Pretty good. Remember Keegan?" He nodded and she said, "He proposed to me again." Bennett looked down, then at her again and asked, "What did you say?" She smiled and said, "No. I'm never going to date or marry him. I don't like him at all." Bennett asked, "Well, do you like someone?" Lilly said, "Um, I'm not sure. Maybe." He smiled and said, "Cool." She smiled and so did he. They slowly ate the breakfast, and after 20 seconds, Bennet asked, "Would you like to come to a dance tonight? At my castle? Just me and you?" She smiled and said, "I-I would love that. What time?" He smiled and said, "7pm. You can leave whenever." Lilly said, "I would love to. Thank you." He gave her a nod and they finished eating their breakfast, holding hands. After breakfast, they went outside and played in the snow. Lilly was holding so carrots, and then a bunny came up to them. Bennett looked at Lilly and shrugged. She laughed and gave him a carrot. He squatted down to the bunny and stuck out his hands, but the bunny hopped away from him. Lilly was laughing and she took the carrot. He stood up and they walked around in the snow. Then, the bunny came back, and Lilly gave an example to Bennett. She squatted down and gently gave the bunny the carrot. The bunny nibbled on the carrot and Bennett smiled at Lilly. Then, he took a carrot and gently handed it to the bunny. The bunny then started nibbling on his carrot and he and Lilly smiled at each other. Then, the bunny hopped off and they stood up. They looked at each other and Lilly held his hand and they ran to a nearby tree. They stopped behind a tree and they were laughing. The two looked in each other's eyes and then Lilly hugged Bennett. Bennett felt so overwhelmed, so he hugged her back. About 10 minutes later, the two went into the living room and Lilly had a book. Bennett took off her jacket and she sat on the carpet. He sat right next to her and they started reading to each other. Behind them in the hallway was Adam, Belle, Lumiere, Cogsworth, Mrs. Potts, and Chip watching them. Adam and Belle had their arms around each other and Mrs. Potts said, "You guys are experiencing love again. Bennett really loves her." Belle said, "Yeah. I can't believe our little boy is in love. He's practically an adult." Lumiere said, "It's really great to see how well you've raised your boy, Master. He's a gentleman." Chip said, "I hope he thanks me for finding Lilly. We're really good friends." They all quietly laughed and then Adam said, "That's my boy. The girl's charming and sweet. Like you were when we first met, Belle." She smiled and he smiled at her and kissed her. Cogsworth said, "Chip, you found a great girl for him. She's a great kid." Chip said, "Yeah. I like her as a friend." Then they all smiled at the couple.
