Chapter 3: We Need A Little Christmas Now!
After dinner, Mrs Potts was on her way to Adam's room, carrying his daily cup of since the Enchantment got lifted, the Prince had re-discovered his huge fondness of thé de fenouil. He sat there, reading a book, as Mrs Potts entered and put the hot drink on his desk. "Wait, 'til it's cooled down." She reminded him. Adam nodded, silently. Just as the old woman wanted to leave, he called her back.
"Mrs Potts?"
"Yes, your Higness?"
Adam gave her an unsure look. "It's about Belle."
"Oh." She went over to his desk and and sat down. "Tell me, dear, what's worrying you?"
"Well, I think," He sighed. "I think Belle has grown tired of me."
Mrs Potts shook her head. "Such nonsense. What makes you think so?"
"We hardly spent time together. Even when I'm not busy, when I ask her she usually is around Michelle and Elena. Today we went to the library together, but not for long. Oh, Mrs Potts...did I do something wrong?" He took a sip.
"No, dear. I'm sure you are just imagining things. Belle loves you." Mrs Potts stood up and put a hand on his left shoulder. "Just as much as she always did."
Adam sighed. "If you say so..." He wanted to believe his maid, however there was still doubt at the back of his mind. He loved Belle and the last thing he wanted was to lose her. "Thank you, Mrs Potts." He said, nodding. "I think it'd be best to talk to her in person about this." The old maid nodded.
"Yes,your Highness," she laughed. "But Belle has already gone to bed."
"Oh." Adam raised an eyebrow. "How late is it?"
"Nine o'clock."
"But...it's so early." Adam said, slowly starting to panic again.
"We all were very tired tonight." Mrs Potts answered. "Everyone has gone to bed by now, except for us two. And once I've cleaned the kitchen and the dining room, I'll be off as well."
Adam nodded. "Yes, I should go too." He said, yawning. "Good Night, Mrs Potts."
She nodded. "Good night, your Highness." Then she left.
The next day, Michelle, Elena and Belle once again helped Angelique getting everything done. For some reason, this year decorating didn't go as smoothly. Things broke all around them. Michelle almost wanted to ask if this is a new kind of enchantment, but she kept her mouth shut, as she feared the very mention of this dreaded word could cause a panic in this room.
"Belle," Michelle said. "Why are you helping anyway? You are the mistress of this castle. The princess!"
"Well, I want to." Belle said, shrugging, and smiling at her friend. "By the way, how was your date last night?"
Michelle grinned and her cheeks turned a few shades redder. "Lovely. I'm so lucky to have a true gentleman as my boyfriend. First we ate self-made sandwiches, then we...well, you know." She said, winking at Belle, who put a hand in front of her mouth. At first she seemed shocked, then she giggled.
"Oh my goodness. Michelle!"
"Then we went outside, building a snow man. It was a perfect day."
"Ugh," Angelique entered them. "Can you believe it? Those clumsy fools!" She slapped a hand at her forehead. "Five day's until christmas! Nothing's done!"
"Don't worry," Belle said. "We'll make it."
"Yeah, those guys need a little motivation. And I know just the right kind..." Michelle said, smiling. Then she jumped on the table. clearing her throat.
"Michelle? What are you doing?!" Belle asked, looking confused.
"So, guys, I heard you all need a little holiday spirit?"
"What's the use?" a young servant asked. "Nothing goes as planned."
"I don't want to listen to another word!2 Michelle shouted.
Belle and Angelique looked at each other, still very confused. "What is she doing?"
Suddenly Michelle grabbed a box with decorations ans bounced off the table.
Haul out the holly;
Put up the tree before my spirit falls again.
Fill up the stocking,
I may be rushing things, but deck the halls again now.
For we need a little Christmas
Right this very minute,
Candles in the window,
Carols at the spinet.
Yes, we need a little Christmas
Right this very minute.
It hasn't snowed a single flurry,
But Santa, dear, we're in a hurry;
So climb down the chimney;
Put up the brightest string of lights I've ever seen.
Slice up the fruitcake;
It's time we hung some tinsel on that evergreen bough.
For I've grown a little leaner,
Grown a little colder,
Grown a little sadder,
Grown a little older,
And I need a little angel
Sitting on my shoulder,
Need a little Christmas now.
The servants all grinned at each other. Each one grabbed things from the boy and started to decorate.
Haul out the holly;
Well, once I taught you all to live each living day. Fill up the stocking,
Belle looked a little unsure at her friend. "But dear Michelle, it's no week until Christmas Day now!"
The servants all gathered around her, still smiling.
But we need a little Christmas
Right this very minute,
Candles in the window,
Carols at the spinet.
Yes, we need a little Christmas
Right this very minute.
Maurice looked out off the window, sighing.
It hasn't snowed a single flurry,
But Santa, dear, we're in a hurry;
Lumiere, who had just entered the room along Cogsworth, saw how his love once again ispired the staff,as she always did. He grinned, then he also took a few bits of decoration.
"Lumiere? What are you doing?" Cogsworth asked, putting his hands on his hips.
So climb down the chimney;
Put up the brightest string of lights I've ever seen.
Once again, everyone but Cogsworth and Angelique joined in. Even Belle was now grabbed by the spirit.
Slice up the fruitcake;
It's time we hung some tinsel on that evergreen bough.
For we need a little music,
Need a little laughter,
Need a little singing
Ringing through the rafter,
And we need a little snappy
"Happy ever after,"
Need a little Christmas now.
Need a little Christmas now.
Michelle once again stodd on the table, opened her arms.
We need a little Christmas now!
As they looked around, they saw everything decorated in the most beautiful way.
"Wow..." Angelique's mouth dropped open. "That's impossible...Michelle?"
"This is a Christmas miracle." Belle said, spinning. She took Michelles hand. "Come on! Elena has to see this! And then Adam!" The two girls ran out off the room, laughing.
