Hey! I'm so sorry for updating a day late :( ! I hope y'all think the chapter's good enough to make up for it! This chapter includes a song! (I don't know how good it is, but I've included it anyway, just because I felt like it fit well. I imagine the tune being similar to 'If you're going to San Francisco' from Forrest Gump, but it could be anything!).

I don't own Beauty and the Beast (2017), but I do own the plot! And all my OCs! I feel pretty happy about that!

Disney: Yes, we own one of the coolest princesses, all the good servants, the interesting Prince/Beast, and you own a bunch of grumpy old guys, a nutter, and some depressed workers.

Well, that's something... :-S

Belle took another deep breath. She'd been wandering for two days now and was desperate for water. The night had been beyond terrifying, and freezing cold as well. But now the sun was at it's peak, and Belle was boiling hot.

"Hey!" A loud voice broke Belle out of her thoughts.

"Hey!" The voice repeated, "You! Are you okay?"

Belle looked around. She couldn't see anyone, but the voice was most definitely there. Or was she just overtired and seriously dehydrated?

"I said, are you alright!?" The voice suddenly broke through her thoughts yet again.

"Who are you?" Belle questioned in reply.

"That's no concern. Do you need help?"

"I don't particularly want to accept help from a vonce without a source."

"Look up then," The Voice said cheerfully. Belle looked up towards the mountains, though she still couldn't see anyone.

"Down a little..." The Voice instructed, "To the side a bit... Turn around..." Belle turned and saw a girl on the mountain a bit above her. Before she could say anything the girl slid down, almost falling, and landed beside Belle.

"So, do you want some help?" The girl held up a strange flask like thing that had been attached to her waist.

"Okay..." Belle said slowly.

"Here you go then," The Girl handed Belle the flask, which was full of water, and an apple. Whilst she ate and drank appreciatively, she observed the strange girl. She had long, wild red hair which had a white flowers in, deep green eyes, and she was wearing a tattered and rather messy dress of green and greyish-white cloth with a very dirty apron that Belle assumed was once white. She watched whilst Belle ate and drank until she finished. She then folded her arms and began to speak, "Okay, I've helped you, and I'll help you more if you need it, but what will you give me in return?"

"What?" Belle was momentarily taken aback by the mysterious girl's forwardness, and had no idea what to say in response.

"I'm a survivor, you have to be to live out here, and surviving requires thinking for one's self a lot. I'll need something in exchange for my help."

Belle wasn't sure what she could possibly have that this girl would want, until she felt the hard book in her pocket and remembered that she'd put the book in to read whilst she did the washing. It probably wasn't what The Girl wanted, but it was all she had. "You probably don't want this," she started slowly, "But I do have a book. Would that be enough?"

To Belle's surprise, The Girl grinned and took the book, "Okay follow me then." And led Belle back up the mountain, much to her confusion.

oOo

"Ze Mademoiselle has still not returned," Lumiere said as he walked into the kitchen to get the dishes for The Master and The Dignitaries dinners.

"I do think something must have happened to her," Mrs Potts noted worriedly.

"Do you think it could be-" Plumette started, only to be interrupted by Mrs Camomile and Lucy coming into the kitchen.

"Well, don't let us spoil your conversation!" Mrs Camomile stuck her nose up and began to sniff each course, "To check that it's to Sir Augustus's standards," She insisted.

Thankfully the awkward silence was broken when the butcher boy came in with the meat that had been ordered.

Once Mrs Potts had picked up her order, Lucy sighed and collected hers, which was… Extravagant. To say the least.

When Mrs Camomile had declared the food fit for Augustus and left, and Lucy was putting the full pig, along with a great deal of other things, in the Ice Room, Plumette continued with her point, in a whisper.

"Do you think it could be one of The Dignitaries? After all, they did seem to take a disliking to her, and they have a lot of power. How can we be sure they didn't use it to their advantage?"

Whilst she was whispering, Bernadette and Lucy had walked into the room. Overhearing everything they'd said, Bernadette started a mock-Augustus impression.

"Why! You servants ought to be ashamed of yourselves! Gossiping about your superiors, who are perfectly innocent might I add, and not serving dinner!"

This caused everyone to turn around and notice Bernadette and Lucy.

"Uh oh…" Lumiere started.

"Don't worry," Lucy assured them, "I won't tell." She was going to say more but Cogsworth walked in, looking thoroughly annoyed.

"Honestly! The Master and our guests have been waiting for their dinner to arrive, and you haven't even served up the first course!" His moustache seemed to almost tick as he fumed about the servants incompetence. Mrs Potts hurriedly finished serving up and Lumiere and another footman collected them them to bring to the dining room, where everyone was impatiently waiting.

"Cogsworth, my friend!" Lumiere called down the steps, "Are you coming, or not?" To which Cogsworth hurried up behind them.

oOo

"So, what is this fiancee of yours like?" Crux Rebus nodded to Adam from the other end of the table, "I am yet to make her acquaintance."

"She is very outspoken, raised as a peasant, and has almost no manners whatsoever!" Augustus answered for him.

Theodore had the dignity to look embarrassed by his companion, Albrecht gave Augustus a look which made his emotion perfectly clear, and Crux Rebus raised one long thin eyebrow.

Noticing these not-so-subtle signs, Augustus attempted to correct himself, "I mean… She is very… funny. She is a very funny girl."

"Well, where has she got to?" Theodore changed the subject, as he often had to when he was with his fellow dignitaries.

"She is staying in the village for a short while, I think." Adam curtly replied, not being able to appreciate them insulting Belle, and trying not to lose his temper. He knew that he had a nasty temper.

"Well, I do hope to meet her again, she seemed delightful."

"Thank you."

"Speaking of maidens, are you planning on hosting any balls at any time soon? I remember you used to be quite the Party-Lover." Augustus said cheerfully before biting into a leg of meat.

"I actually don't have any parties planned."

"That's such a shame! Oh! You need an excuse don't you!"

"That's not really what I meant-"

"Well, surely our arrival would be reason enough for a grand ball!" Crux said, as if that was the most obvious thing in the world.

"Well, I'm sure it would be-"

"Then that's settled!" Augustus cheerfully exclaimed, "You shall host a ball in our honour, and I hope it is truly magnificent!"

Adam was going to dispute this but they all exited in agreement, as the last course had been served.

oOo

"So," Belle tried to make conversation with this strange girl, "What is your name?"

The girl thought for a moment before stating, "You may call me Rose."

"Rose. That's lovely." Belle had a lot of memories to do with roses, both good and bad.

"What is yours?" Rose asked, tilting her head ever so slightly to the side.

"Belle," She answered honestly.

"Belle. Beauty." Rose smiled, "It suits you."

"Thanks," Belle blushed a little, "Why do you call yourself Rose?"

"Because…" Rose softly began to sing.

There are thousands of flowers out here,

All beautiful in their own way,

Though some can sometimes be deadly,

None of them can compare,

The beauty of the most mysterious flower!

To see one again I'd be willing to climb a tower!

For find one, I wished I would!

But nature is nature, as be nature should!

For here I am climbing,

With flowers in my hair,

Though those flowers are pretty,

Nothing can compare,

The beauty of the most mysterious flower!

Even if they have no magical power!

For find one, I wished would!

But nature is nature, be as nature should!

I know it may look bleak out here,

Compared to what you know and hold dear,

But if the rain comes when you're with me!

Thousands of flowers there will be…

During her song Rose had been dancing, and they'd made it to the top. There, Belle saw a sight that she had never imagined there would be over the dusty and rocky mountains.

There was a river in a valley, surrounded by a lush green forest. She could hear birds singing, and the whole forest had this beautiful feeling of life.

Rose smiled and gestured around with her hand, "Welcome to Reverie!"

And there you go! What do y'all think of Rose? Review and tell me! I'm sorry if anyone's OOC, I'm not the best at writing them :-(. And the song! I still don't think it's very good... But it's ok, I guess (quoted Inside Out :)!). Reverie is based on The Plitvice Lakes in Croatia, where I went a couple of weeks ago, which is also the cover! If you search it up, just be warned I'm basing Reverie on a slightly less utopian place! (I went when it was cold and slightly less green).

Ok, that's all! Please REVIEW! (I know I'm desperate :-P)!
