A Perfect Beginning

Bella and Parker awoke where they had fallen asleep, under the apple tree in the rose garden, but to there disappointment, not due to the rising sun. Gaston towered over the two, and looked down on them with cold blue eyes, like a hawk does looking at its prey before it strikes. "Get up," Gaston said with an icy breath as he yanked Parker to his feet and shoved him in the direction of the palace. Bella stood quickly and tried to stop him, but once outside the grove of roses, her mother stood right by a small group of lilies, tapping her foot impatiently.

"You," she said pointing at Bella, "Come with me." she walked in front of Gaston in a huffy manner. Behind her, with her head hung low was Bella.

Bella and Parker sat at the long dining table in the great hall, awaiting their punishment. Parker turned to Bella suddenly, "Bella, I'm not sure what my father is thinking of doing and I just want to apologize for dragging you into this whole mess." Bella shook her head and looked Parker in the eyes.

"No, if anyone should be apologizing it's me," she looked at Parker with solemn eyes, "You have done nothing wrong. I love you, that is what matters, and no matter what's going to happen I will always love you. They may be able to control who we see, but they can't control what occurs in the confine of a mind." He smiled at his bright beauty and kissed her. The doors flung open and Belle, Gaston, and the Master all walked in. Bella tried to study the faces, attempting to see if their fate was written on them. But all she saw was blank looks.

Her heart was pounding in her chest as Belle sat down in front of the two; the men standing behind her. Gaston had learned better than to interfere with Belle. Belle looked at them with an unknown look in her eyes. She took a deep breath and began to speak, "I honestly don't know what to say to you two." Both children dropped their eyes to stare at the table in front of them, "Parker," he looked up at the queen, feeling intimidated and nervous, "You and your father could be banished from the kingdom from your acts the previous night. Kidnapping the princess; sneaking into a party uninvited," Belle looked at Gaston with venom in her eyes, "Attempted murder and encasement of royal family members in inhumane locations."

"Do you have to use such long words?" Gaston said with a look of confusion on his face. Belle rolled her eyes and turned back to the two guilty kids. She turned her attention away from the hunter's son and to her daughter.

"And you Bella," Bella unlike Parker did not raise her eyes to meet the queen's. She kept them down and even shut them; bracing herself for the worst, "You have embarrassed both yourself and the family. I mean, really Bella, what were you thinking?" Bella did not answer; she did not move; she did not look up. But then Belle took a deep breath, recollecting herself and shoving her anger and disappointment below the surface.

The Master rested a hand on Belle's shoulder and spoke up, "However," he began; both children raised their heads in curiosity and with hope, "Belle and I," Gaston cleared his throat, "and Gaston, understand what it is like to be in love."

"Some more than others," said Belle, obviously aiming her reply at Gaston.

"Regardless of that," The Master continued, "We know that when you are in love how simple life can be. You have all that you need in the world right beside you and you could careless whether the world ended that day or not." Belle grabbed his hand that was resting on her shoulder lovingly, "But the truth of the matter is that life isn't that simple. Bella, you need to understand that because Parker is not of a higher class in the town you could not marry him." Bella felt tears welling up in her eyes. It wasn't fair. Belle was the daughter of an inventor! And yet here she stood, queen of France. Why couldn't she marry Parker?

"Ok, are you going to tell them or can I?" Gaston asked Belle impatiently. Belle shook her head, and then turned to Bella and Parker to tell them some news. Blindly Bella grabbed Parker's hand under the table for comfort.

"But because of Parker's less than remarkable standing in the town we have come to a compromise. Bella you are indeed aware that we are in need of new knights," Bella drew in a breath. She knew all too well that with more knights the kingdom would be safer, "There for we have named a new knight. He was inducted this morning, and I think you'll like his son quite a bit." She looked at her mother carefully, attempting to decode the smile on her face.

"May I present, Sir Gaston of Molyneaux." Bella let out a gasp, and Parker smiled. Gaston stood proud, it was a wonder neither of them had noticed the crest of the royal guard pinned onto his gun strap. Bella regained her composure enough to find her voice and speak up.

"So, what exactly does this mean for us?" she asked her mother. Belle smiled at the two of them. Parker grabbed her and hugged her closely.

"I think it means," He began, "that we can get married." She looked at him and then a broad smile broke onto her face. They kissed passionately. Gaston cleared his throat again and the two broke apart. Life couldn't be more perfect for the two of them at that moment.

"I love you." He whispered to her softly.

"I love you, too." She replied, knowing that life from now on would be perfect.
