Beauty and the Tiger Monster. .
We see the beautiful sky as morning was slowly rising as the rooster awoke everyone as we slowly descend upon a small village in France. . We close in to one little cottage home where a young lady was coming out. .
She had long beautiful shoulder length brown hair with her bangs swirling to the left side of her face was a tan color while her eyes were light brown as she wore a beautiful blue necklace with a golden diamond shape locket as she wore a Victorian farm blue dress with a white apron as she got out of her home with a smile toward the beautiful morning. .
Her name was Lady Spaniel, she lived in this small village with her father. .
"Little town . .It's a quiet village . .Every day like the one before. . Little town . .Full of little people . .Waking up to say" she sang as she walked down her steps as the clock bell rang three times . .
"Bonjour!" A woman said as she opened her cottage window with a smile as she dusted her clothes..
"Bonjour!' Two more women repeated her greeting as they too opened their windows.
"Bonjour!" Two men said as they nodded to each other.
"Bonjour. . " A drunk said as the police placed him in a prison cell there as Lady waved bye to him as she walked away to see the Baker as she smiled to him.
"There goes the baker with his tray like always. . The same old bread and rolls to sell. ." She sang as she stopped and brought a bead as the baker looked at her oddly as she placed the bread in her pouch that she carried.
"Every morning just the same. .Since the morning that we came . .To this poor provincial town. ." Lady sang as she stopped by a horse and petted it with a smile.
"Good Morning Lady!" A man's voice as she turn to see a young elder man with pure black hair that was slicked back, skin a little deathly pale while he had dark brown eyes while he wore a black and white Victorian suit.
She smiled at him, ""Good Morning, Monsieur Pongo! Have you lost something again?" She asked as he was searching through his pockets with a frown on his face.
"Well, I believe I have. .The problem is, I can't remember what! Oh well, I'm sure it will come to me. Where are you off to?" He asked as she giggled before gave his donkey that was beside him a apple with a smile.
"To return this book to Pere Jock. It's about two lovers in fair Verona." She said he frowned.
"Sounds boring." He said as she waved him bye as she walked away she was watched by the boys that were going to school as they started to sing.
"Look there she goes . .That girl is strange, no question. ." They sang as they stomp upward to their school house as their teacher lightly slapped one of their head as they continue to go in the school house.
"Dazed and distracted . . Can't you tell?" He sang as he went in the school house.
Lady was jumping on some rocks in a small pond as she smiled to herself when she saw a bunch of ducks and saw that many were brown while there was one white one. .
"Never part of any crowd. . 'Cause her head's up on some cloud. ." A bunch women sang as they were washing some clothing as Lady walked by without a care. .
"No denying she's a funny girl that Lady. ." Four young girls sang as they helped the woman with drying the clothing as they watched Lady walk on with a smile on her face.
"Bonjour, good day, how is your family?" A man sang/asked while he placed a basket of eggs on top of a woman's stand of fish, while smiling at her
"Bonjour, good day, how is your wife?" She answered/sang as her husband placed a huge fish near his basket of eggs as he paled before he moved on to a next stand.
"I need six eggs. .That's too expensive!"Another woman sang/said as the man frowned and shook his head as Lady kept walking with a smile toward her small village.
"There must be more than this provincial life. ." Lady sang as she entered the bookshop with a smile as she saw a man with dark blueish black hair with a thick white mustache and thick white eyebrows, he was a dark skin man with dark almost black eyes as he wore a dark blue Victorian suit as he was dusty the windows when he heard the door.
"Well, if it isn't our lassie, Lady. So, where did you run off to this week Lassie?" He asked in a Scottish accent.
"Two cities in Northern Italy. I didn't want to come back! Have you got any new places to go?" Lady asked as she searched his small row of books with a smile,
"Aye, I'm afraid not. But you may reread any of the old ones that you'd like." He said as Lady smiled happily at him.
"Thank you Pere Jock. Your library makes our small corner of the world feel big. Bye." She said while she picked a book as Jock smiled as he waved bye to her as she walk out of his library.
"Look, there she goes . .The girl is so peculiar. ." Three men sang as they watched Lady opened her book as she walked past them reading her book with a smile.
"I wonder if she's feeling well. ." A barber sang as he watched her walk away from his stand. .
"With a dreamy far off look .. And her nose stuck in a book. . What a puzzle to the rest of us is Lady. ." Three women sang as they carried trays of sweets while Lady stopped and brought a treat for later as she placed it in her pouched.
"Oh! Isn't this amazing .. It's my favorite part because you'll see. . " Lady sang as she walked into multiple stands of flowers sellers, "Here's where she meets Prince Charming . .But she won't discover that it's him . .Til chapter three. ."
She closed her book as she walk to a beauty parlor where the head dresser looked up from dressing up three women were being dressed, one was shorter then the other two with a lavender and pale Victorian dress with a bushy hairdo, her name was Dixie.
The other one was a bit taller with a beige Victorian dress with long straight blonde hair, her name was Sylvie. The last one was wearing a puffy light blue and a pink Victorian dress while she wore a light blue hairdo with a pink ribbon and a golden necklace, her name was Georgette.
"Now it's no wonder . . That her name means "beauty" . . Her looks have got no parallel. ." The head dresser sang as she looked at Lady's beautiful looks with a smile as, Dixie, Sylvie and Georgette glared.
"But behind that fair façade . . I'm afraid she's rather odd. ." The three women sang as they watched from the window as the head dresser got out her shop with a smile toward Lady as she walk away.
"Very different from the rest of us. ."
"She's nothing like the rest of us. . Yes, different from the rest of us. .Is Lady. ."
Meanwhile return back to the village was a man on a horse as the man's black raven hair was in a ponytail with deathly white skin and sky blue eyes, his name was Steele, as he had a telescope as he was watching Lady pet some geese.
Beside him, riding on a horse as well was an short and timid man, with grey hair with his bangs were white while he had pale skin and dark blue eyes as he looked at the man beside him.
"Look at her Star, My future wife." He said to the short and timid man beside him before handed him the telescope with a smirk as Star looked through the telescope as well.
"Lady is the most beautiful girl in the village. That makes her the best." Steele said with a smirk.
"But she's so well-read. And you're so.. . . athletically inclined." Star said as he pointed out the difference between him and Lady.
"I know. . Lady can be as argumentative as she is beautiful.. " Steele said with a look on his face.
"Exactly! Who needs her when you've got us!" Star said as Steele frowned..
"Yes. . But ever since the war. . I've felt like I've been missing something. . And she's the only girl that gives me that sense of..." Steele tried to hint something. .
Star said something that made Steele look at him oddly, " I don't know what that means." he said as he made his horse walk in to the village.
"Right from the moment. .When I met her, saw her. .I said she's gorgeous and I fell. . Here in town there's only she . . Who is beautiful as me. .So I'm making plans to woo and marry Lady. ." He sang as his horse walked by the beauty parlor where Sylvie, Dixie and Georgette all gasped as seeing the strong Steele.
"Look there he goes. .Isn't he dreamy. . Monsieur Steele oh, he's so cute Be still, my heart. . I'm hardly breathing. ." The three girls squealed/sang as Steele smirked at the ladies as he got off his horse, "He's such a tall, dark . . Strong and handsome brute AAH!" The three women screamed when the horse kicked some mud at their new brought beautiful dresses. .
Steele frowned but walked off as Star walked in front of the ladies with a whispered, "It's never gonna happen, ladies."
Steele tried and found Lady as he tried to get through the people..
"Bonjour."
"Pardon."
"Good day." Lady sang to a person who bid her a good morning.
"Mais, oui."
"Some cheese."
"Ten yards."
"One pound."
"'Scuse me"
"I'll get the knife."
"Please let me through" Steele sang as he tried to get through the people..
"This bread."
"Those fish."
"It's stale."
"They smell."
"Madame's mistaken."
"Well, maybe so."
"There must be more than this provincial life. ." Lady sang as she stood by the fountain with a smile.
"Good morning. ."
"Just watch I'm going to make Lady my wife. ." Steele sang as he held up a banquet of flowers with a smirk.
"Look there she goes . . A girl who's strange but special. .A most peculiar mademoiselle It's a pity and a sin . . She doesn't quite fit in. . But she really is a funny girl. . A beauty but a funny girl. . She really is a funny girl. . That Lady. ." The whole village sang as they all watched Lady walk through them before she gasped when she felt a person beside her.
"Good Morning Lady!" She turn and lightly smiled at seeing Steele with a banquet of flowers, "Wonderful book you have there. ." He said as she smiled at him.
"Have you read it?" She asked eager to see if Steele had read it as he looked uncomfortable.
"Well, not that one. .But, you know, books... For your dinner table." He said as he present her the flowers as she looked at them with a light frowned. .
"Shall I join you this evening?" Steele asked with a smirk as Lady sighed and shook her head but she was taught to be polite. .
"Sorry, not this evening. . ." She said as he got a confused look. .
"Busy?"
"No. . " She said before she turn and closed her eyes as she lightly shook her head before walked off.
Star came to Steele with a smirk, "So? Moving on?" He asked with his hand behind his back as he looked at Steele who lowered the flowers as he watched Lady walk away. .
"No, Star. It's the ones who play hard to get that are always the sweetest prey. That's what makes Lady so appealing. She hasn't made a fool of herself just to gain my favor. What would you call that?" Steele asked as he looked at Star with a smirk.
"Dignity?"
"It's outrageously attractive, isn't it?" Steele said with a smirk as he looked to see the Georgette and Dixie waving their hands as he smirked toward them, "Hmm. ." He said as he walked toward them.
"Hmm. ." Star repeated before he followed Steele with a frown.
