The next day one of Belle's friends receives her letter then she told her friend to come? "Hey look at this! I got a letter from Belle" her friend said to the other girl.
The other girl "what does it say?" Belle "sorry girls I'm going to be gone for a while don't surprised if you don't see me running around with my camera. No need to worry I'm a selkie I can handle it solo. Well then take care I'll see you guys when I get the chance".
"That was odd," her friend said to the other girl. "You can say that again" replied the other girl. "What are we going to do now?" the other girl said.
The first one "I don't know it looks like we won't be seeing Belle for awhile" while putting the letter in her jacket. Keiss just got back from his last job with Cid starts walking to his room. Then one of Belle's friends stopped him. She walked up to him and pull his arm. He turned around saw that it was one of Belle's friends.
Keiss "uh do you need help with something?" The girl as of matter of fact "yes we both need help. Belle gave us this letter but she didn't say where she was".
He replied by saying "hmm I'm sure she will be fine if she runs into Layle he will make sure nothing bad happens to her". So don't worry about it too much if you two excuse me I need to go to my room to go over some things for the Queen.
Both of Belle's friends "fine your right Keiss let go somewhere fun".
With Layle and Belle, he woke up when a bit of sunlight hit his face. Layle "ugh time to get up" he looks down saw Belle next to him with no clothes on. Which made him remember what happened last night.
Layle "last night me and Belle..." he shook it off carefully gets out of bed while trying not to wake her up. Walk to the fireplace picks up his dry clothes and starts getting dressed. 5 minutes later he was done "ok time to wake up sleepyhead.
"Hey Belle it time to wake up while to her and shaking her shoulder," Layle said to her. Belle "ok, ok I'm getting up Layle".
She got up completely while sit sitting on the bed. Looked down saw that she was still naked which made her blush. Layle "you might need to hurry up and get dressed Belle" while being close to her face. Belle replies by saying "Layle your still in my way I can't get dressed". Layle "sorry!" Get out of the way.
Belle goes to get her clothes to start getting dressed. Layle couldn't help himself he sat down on the bed watching her getting dressed.
"Hey! I know you're watching me Layle" she said walks up to him hit his head lightly. Layle "what was that for?" Belle "it not right to watch someone get dressed without their approval". He pulled her onto his lap "I'm pretty sure you let me enjoy the scene in front of me. Besides last night we you know."
"Come on we need to get out of this empty house and into town and yes I remember what we did last night," she said to him while getting off his lap.
Layle takes her hand puts it out of the fire then opens the door starts walking to town. Belle's friends were starting to feel bored without her. Surprisingly since they all tend to hang out together once in a while when she not doing some type of odd job.
One of the "I know why don't we plan a trip together just the two of us until Belle comes back". The other one nods her head in agreement.
"It looks like we're almost back in town," he said to Belle. Then he saw the same little girl that convince him to give a flower to Belle. So Layle tried to go in a different direction but he forgot that he was still holding her hand.
"Hey, Layle are you ok?" Asked Belle he points to that little girl that isn't too far away from them. She started to laugh a little don't tell me you're scared of that little girl. "No I'm not but she could be one of those kids that can spread rumors," Layle said to Belle. "Hmm you could be right but not everyone is like that" she replied to him. Layle "never mind that let's just go get something to eat I'm hungry. We haven't eaten anything since last night". Keeps on walking away from that little girl to find something to eat.
The little girl" is that the same boy I asked to buy a flower?" She couldn't tell since they were both far away she shook it off. Keeps on walking to sell flowers to nearby people.
Layle was in luck there was a sandwich shop that was still open. They both place their orders about 10 minutes later their food was ready both of them starts eating it. When they were done Layle paid the man and thanked him. When that was all done they both kept on walking in Layle's head "I need to buy a ring soon for Belle but I can't do it when she around me."
Belle's friends ended up going shopping around looking and buying new clothes. They were thinking that it might be more fun if Belle was with them. Belle "hey Layle it looks like we walked past the shopping mall. This means we might be in the main shopping district".
Layle "yeah your right about that". This means I can check out one of the jewelry stores to buy the right ring for Belle.
He let go of her hand said that "he needed to take care of something and he will be back in about an hour and a half". She kissed his cheek and said, "don't take too long I will try not to get into trouble".
Layle gave a small "she the same as always somehow getting into trouble for no reason". With that, he took off to the nearest jewelry store. With Belle, she was walking around the clothes part of the shopping district. Then she heard a familiar voice Belle "oh no it can't be just my luck". I need to get out of here before my friends see me with Layle.
She starts leaving the clothes part of the shopping district making sure her friends don't see her. With Layle he made it to the first jewelry shop that caught his eyes.
The manager "welcome young man is there anything I can help you with?" When she saw Layle walk inside her shop. He said "yes I need help" 5 minutes later he told the manager everything.
She was surprised "ok I'll help you find the perfect ring for your future wife". Layle "thank you I'm not good at these types of things".
Belle "that was a close call my friends almost saw me". She was able to sit near the water fountain hoping that Layle will know this is where she went to wait for him. The manager "here you go young man I'm sure she will love this". Layle 'thank you, Ms" with that he left her shop to look for Belle.
