Four months have passed and things have changed ever since. For starters, a day after they broke up Silver's phone has been blown up with his friends messaging him after seeing Staghart and his Instagram story as well as asking him what's happened and wanting some explanation. Silver gives them the run down that has happened in the group chat, but also asks them not to be angry or upset at Staghart as he and Staghart both agree to the break up.

The second was his family finding out about it when they arrived back home from the birthday party, Roberto and Paula Willow had found their son crying on bed in his room. They were shocked to see his hair all messy and his eyes red. Silver explains what happened and he and Staghart have ended their relationship. Week later, Silver's cousin, Dorado, even came into his cousin's house unannounced and comforted his baby cousin after seeing his Instagram story.

The third was the Disney Princesses were shocked to find out when the news of their breakup reached them. They immediately asked Silver when he arrived for their annual luncheon at Cinderella Castle in Magic Kingdom for an explanation saying that they can't believe how these two, the most romantic couple broke up and why? But Silver had no answers to give them. So instead he told them about everything that happened between him and Staghart, but also said that things are still very much good between them, are private. The princesses didn't ask any further questions about it and respect his decision.

Lastly, Silver remembers the ring that Staghart giften him on Christmas Eve at the House of Mouse. Not sure what to do, he asks Staghart on message for some suggestions on what he should do with the ring. Staghart replies back to him and advises him to do whatever he wants with the ring: he can either just keep the ring if he wants to, sell the ring online, pawn the ring, gifted the ring to someone else, give it back to him or throw the ring into the lake or ocean.

Silver dislikes the last suggestion, so he tries his hardest on what to do. This decision was very tough to him, he thought long and hard on what to do before deciding to go with the third option; donate the ring.

In the last week of May, Silver attended Belle's Garden Party in the garden at the Beast's Castle. He had received an invitation about three weeks ago and Silver felt it would be wasteful to not go, so he eventually went to the party.

Silver is wearing this white dress made of silk organza. The dress was decorated with floral embroidery. It featured a white underdress with an exaggerated sweetheart neckline under a sheer, deep V neck. The skirt was in calf length and an A-line shape with a very narrow waist and long, puffy sleeves with cuffs below his elbow. The wide-brimmed white satin boater hat is finished with a sash ribbon with a bow in the back and long tails trailing down to his neck and a pair of low leather white pumps with a beige bottom. To top it all up, his makeup is consistent with simple eyeshadow looks with rosy blush.

It was a bit awkward for him to attend Belle's Garden Party alone. When Silver and Staghart were a couple back then, they usually attended the Princess's Annual Event together and the last event they attended as a couple before Staghart left for another journey was Snow White's Outdoor Picnic Party. But now, since he and Staghart have broken up and are no longer together, it feels strange to be here without his former ex-partner.

When he arrives at the castle garden, he sees Cogsworth, in his human form, standing at the front entrance greeting guests and welcoming them. As Silver approaches him, he greets him with a simple nod, "Hello, Cogsworth," he says while walking through the entrance.

He took notice of how all of the guests are wearing 50s style looks, women wore dresses that's tea-length and some of their skirts are in pencil skirts with them wearing fascinators or different styles of hats like pillboxes, juliette caps, chignon caps, cocktail hats, hats covered in flowers, and many more! Accessories include jewelry, handbags, and gloves. The men are dressed in morning coats or lounge suits with top hats, bowler, flat caps, boaters, and fedora.

As for the garden, oh boy! Let's talk about the garden shall we? It's almost like Silver has stepped into the Palace of Versailles garden in France. The terrace is adorned with ornamental basins, statues, symmetrical planting beds of boxwoods and shrubs, and stone path. The flowers are blossoming with beautiful flowers, a pretty combination of green, aqua, cornflower blue, soft muted pink, and ivory. Silver couldn't help but admire the garden and its beauty.

He walked around the garden admiring the flowers, the musicians playing in the background and people were dancing around the water fountain. He could smell the sweet scent of flower petals from the rose bushes. In one corner, there were tables set out with food and drinks for the guests. And in another corner, there are people sitting and having a conversation.

Silver stopped by the refreshment table where he grabbed a glass of lemon juice and listened to the music being played. It felt so strange and he knows why, because for once Staghart isn't here with him anymore and he came to party alone without him. Silver tried to act natural but he found himself getting sadder and sadder inside.

After taking a sip of his drink, he noticed Belle and the human form of the Beast walking up toward him. "Hello Silver," Belle gave him a welcome smile. The princess looks beautiful in this yellow pencil dress that covers her knee featuring a straight bodice with a off the shoulder portrait neckline, huge side bow with a red rose pinned in the center, three matching sets of kitten mules shoes, floppy hat, and a glove that almost reaches her elbow. Her buns are shaped like a flower, a pair of diamond drop earrings and wore lilac eyeshadow with an rosy blush highlight.

"Your Royal Highnesses," Silver falls into a curtsy before standing back up and smiling at them. "It is lovely to see you."

"You as well," The Beast says, wearing this dark blue suit while looking him over with a careful eye, "I must say, we are very much pleased to see you here..."

Silver chuckled. "I'm very happy to attend this party. You have done a splendid job hosting this." He compliments. "Both of you! The garden looks absolutely exquisite today."

Belle giggles. "Thank you! The gardeners have done their excellent job tending the garden and making sure they are ready for the party."

Silver smiled at her. "Well then, do send my regards to them."

The Beast nods. "We will. Thank you again for coming."

Silver bowed. "My pleasure. I hope to see you two later."

The couple bowed back to him before they disappeared into the crowd and greeted their other guests who attended.

Silver looked around the garden again and saw all the happy guests, all were having a wonderful time, smiling, laughing, and dancing to the music, all except him. He wondered what he was doing here. He thought maybe he should leave, but he can't leave all of a sudden. So the only option for him was to stay and try his best to enjoy himself for now.

But every time he's trying to enjoy, he can't help but feel sad, so Silver walks away from the refreshment table and begins exploring the garden anyway. He wanted to clear his mind and relax for a while.

Once he got there, he breathed in the fresh air. "Ahhh," Silver exhales. He walked down the path while greeting a guest along the way. He felt quite relaxed and enjoyed the breeze. "Just what I need," he says to himself. "A nice atmosphere."

Soon enough, he was near the tall hedge of the garden with beautiful flowers, he stopped and smelled the roses, and the smell made him want to touch them. Silver reached out to touch them, and smell them. He inhales deeply and exhales.

"Oh, it smells so pretty," Silver murmured. "It's a reason why roses are my favorite type of flower!"

"Silverly! Silverly!" The tiny voice called out to him. Silver turns around and looks at the source of the voice.

"Down here, Silverly! Down here!"

His eyes looked down at the ground and saw two mice and two blue birds.

"Jaq! Gus!" Silver smiled while greeting them. He scoops them up from his hands and rubs them against his cheeks. The other two birds landed on his hat. "It's great to see you guys!"

Jaq and Gus look up at him with a surprised smile. "We-we haven't seen you in ages, Silverly!"

"Yeah, yeah!" Gus nodded and agreed. "A-A-A-Ages!"

Silver chuckled at them. "Well, I haven't seen you guys in ages too! I'm going through some…some personal stuff right now. But I am alright. Everything is okay."

The mice look worried. "Are you sure? We've been worried sick! What happened?"

Silver chuckles. "Nothing, Jaq. Just some personal issues I am going through, that's all." The two mice and the blue birds looked at each other.

"We…. We heard what happened." Jaq says looking up at Silver.

"What happened?" Gus asks.

Silver sighed and takes a deep breath. "Staghart and I broke up. I don't know if I should tell you guys about it… but I'm going to be honest with you." Silver tells them. He gave them an explanation of what happened between them.

"Awww!" Jaq said sadly.

Gus nuzzled against Silver thumb. "Poor Silverly."

Silver smiled at them. "Thank you Gus-Gus but it's time for me to move on. I want to focus on myself first, my work, then when I get the chance, hopefully I find someone else who loves me. That is the plan, at least for now."

But will he ever have a chance to find love again? The question runs through Silver's mind. All his friends, minus Toren, are already in a relationship with their partner with one of them being married and he felt pressure to find one soon. But Silver doesn't have any luck when it comes to dating. He is afraid he won't be able to find anyone. Or will he? Will he meet the right one?

"I couldn't believe Mister Willow decided to show his face for months after… What happen."

Her voice is forced to snap out of Silver's mind, he happens to recognize that voice before and it belongs to Beatrice, one of Cinderella's two ladies in waiting. He turned his head to where that voice was coming and the voice was coming from behind the large white urn on the pedestal. Silver slowly take a step and looked over to his right. There he could see two women standing close to it but their backs were turned and you couldn't see their faces from their hats they were wearing.

"Whatever did you mean Beatrice?" Daphne asks her.

"Oh! You didn't know?"

"Know what?" Silver overheard Daphne say. He could not help but overhear as her mouth took a last bite of the cookie and made her loud.

"Why, he and Mister Staghart broke up about four months ago," She revealed.

Daphne gasps. "Good heaven no!" She press her hand against her chest.

"Yes!" Beatrice exclaimed, nodded at her. "But did you know what I heard?"

"What, what is it?" She was anxious to know what she heard of. "Ooooh, do tell me Beatrice!"

"Welllllll, if you must know….." Beatrice smirks as she leans toward her ears using her hand to prevent anyone from lip reading what she says but wasn't aware Silver was right behind them. "I heard Staghart was actually planning on breaking up with him!"

"No!" Daphne exclaimed. Silver couldn't believe it, Staghart would never plan on leaving him. "Why is that?"

"Apparently Staghart is seeing someone other than Silver. Rumor has it that Staghart has met someone while he's away with the London Clans!" She explained. "Soon, he began falling in love with that person even when he's with Silver."

"Is that why they broke up?" asked Daphne. "He committed a hastening act!?"

"Those are just rumors, Daphne." She reminded her. "But I won't be surprised if that turned out to be true. After all, if I were Staghart, I would never dream of courting him, not in my wildest dream. Any gentleman who dates him is absolutely mad as a hatter." She laughed off. "Can you picture it, Daphne? OHHHHHHH hohohohohohoho!!" Holding her straightened palm vertically to her right side of her mouth.

Silver was about to interrupt when Beatrice and Daphne turned to walk away. As they turned they caught sight of Silver in ear shot and froze when he stood next to the white urn flower stand. His eyes are giving Beatrice a deathly stare but it looked like he was about to cry.

"M-M-Mister Willow!" Beatrice shutter, couldn't believe what was standing in front of them. "Well-I-um-eh… This is a… er splendid event is it not?"

"Hmm yes. Just wait till what Chef Bouche has made for us." Silver responded with a smirk, coming out hiding from the flower stand.

"Oh Mister Willow, Beatrice is very so-"

"I know what you are speaking of and know it isn't the reason why we broke up. I would appreciate it if you would not ruin or slander Staghart's good name, yes?" Silver waited for their head to nod. "May I ask one small favor of you?" He slowly walks up to Beatrice and stares directly at her face. "Next time you hear the rumor that's involved with my former relationship with Staghart or just Staghart, I advise you to not spread those rumors or simply take it as fact as it might turn out to be false."

"Yes! O-o-of co-course! Certainly Mister Willow."

Silver gave her a slight smile. "Well ladies, I wish you both a wonderful time at the party today." Silver left these two ladies alone.

Just then, Beatrice felt something climbing on her leg, when she looked down, she let out a shriek when she saw an mice on her foot. "Ooohhh!" She nearly yelped and tried to shake the mice off of her. "Get it off! Get it oofff! GET THIS DISGUSTING RATS OFF OF ME!"

But Beatrice didn't notice she's causing quite a scene from her loud voice but also not noticing the water fountain behind her and fell in. The mice jumped off of her and quickly fled the scene. Beatrice was soaking wet by the time she got out of the water fountain and her attire was ruined. She was completely drenched. She was flustered, embarrassed and angry at the mice.

Daphne could feel her anger and knew she was upset, so she approached her, "Goodness! Are you alright Beatrice?"

Beatrice snaps her head towards Daphne. She splashes her with water on her face.

As Silver walked away he sighed. He couldn't believe he had to deal with this. "Great. Just great!" He mumbled to himself. "Staghart cheating on me!? That's the most ridiculous accusation I have ever heard!" He shook his head in frustration. He really needs to go somewhere else where he could be alone for the moment. Alone from all this rumor nonsense. Alone to clear off his mind. So what better way than for him to go outside of the garden party.

He could feel the guests' eyes as he stormed off, but he didn't care about them. Heck! He doesn't care if he gets some sort of reputation from them. He just wants to get away from all of this and let his brain process everything that's happening right now. As he walked down the path, he made a left turn and exited the garden through an iron gate that was left unlocked. But he doesn't care anymore, he just wanted to leave this place for the moment.

"Do I think I can get away from all of this?" Silver asks himself as he walks into the forest. He wanted to escape from all of this drama and gossip surrounding him and his breakup. He needed a break from it all.

He could feel tears rising up in his eyes. It hurts to hear such slanderous accusations about Staghart, but he knows his former partner well enough to know he wouldn't do that to Silver. He wouldn't hurt Silver like that. But still, he couldn't stop himself from crying.

[Song: More Than a Dream - Cinderella 3: A Twist in Time, but most of the lyrics have been changed.]

Silver:

I've always dreamed

That my life could be

Like a fairy-tale

A perfect fantasy

Gus and Jaq and the two blue birds found him and decided to come to do what they did best: Comfort Silver in his time of need. They follow Silver out of the castle garden and into woods full of trees.

Silver:

Every day a new adventure

On some undiscovered shore

Was it nothing more

Than a dream?

Silver came across a small waterfall on the small rocky mountain and knelt down by the water stream before taking off his hat as he looked and stared down at the water in disbelief and distraught.

Silver:

Then one magic day

With a romantic date

I found more than

Just a storybook romance

The images of him and Staghart being shown through them. Inside it showed him and Staghart going through many dates in the past back then with them kissing on the lip.

Silver:

And for once my love was beautiful

As our love began to grow

And it was so much more

So much more than a dream

The next image shows the moment where Silver and Staghart give each other one final hug before Staghart takes off flying, officially ending their relationship. A single drop of tear fell from Silver eye landed on the water.

Silver:

I could say our breakup never happened

Just a dream from the start

But then I'd live my life

With a broken heart.

Gus started to cry from this.

"No, no, no cry, Gus-Gus, Silverly knows he'll find love again." Jaq assured his mouse friend.

"Yes..." Silver smiled as that instantly gave him hope. "Of course I do!" He then wiped Gus's face with his finger to soothe his tears. "What if love will come back to me again?"

"Yeah, yeah!" Jaq agreed. "Love comes!"

"Yes, everything will be alright!" Silver smiled.

"Everything will be alright!" Jaq cheered with him.

"Yeah, yeah!" Gus happily agreed.

"Alright then," Silver smiled before singing.

Silver:

Cause I know

My fate has a plan for me to come.

The blue birds then took Silver's white hat off the ground and placed it back on his head.

Silver:

If there's any chance the love might come back

I've simply got to try!

Silver got off from the ground and leaped across the stream.

Silver:

So I'll trust my heart

What else can I do?

I can't live in dreams

If my dreams are to come true.

Silver passes through the woods with Jaq and Gus riding on his shoulders.

Silver:

There's a better life that's waiting,

Past the mountains I must climb.

He walked into an open field overlooking a beautiful valley with a river stream in front of him as well as the mountain.

Silver:

I'll take a chance on love again,

To get my once upon a time.

Silver turned to see the royal castle right beyond the distance. This fueled his determination even more.

Silver:

Oh, I want so much more…..

The light breeze blew his face.

Silver:

So much more

Silver couldn't help but take his shoes off and throw his arms wide and twirled in a circle, laughing and feeling the grass on his feets and letting the wind blow his face as the two birds flew up into the sky.

Silver:

Than a dream!

Silver fell down in the field causing his white hat to fall off from his head, looking at the clear blue sky and the sun shining down upon him as he closed his eyes and basked in the warmth of the sun with Jaq and Gus laid down next to him.

He felt pretty much calm after the incident back in the garden party. He felt refreshed. He feels like he finally cleansed his mind from all of the rumors and gossip around him. He's ready to move forward and to continue on with his life.

No matter how hard or tough it gets, he'll keep moving forward. He has to show the world that he's going to keep on fighting for his future happiness. He does not want to lose faith in himself and in what he wants for his life.

No matter what his fate has planned for him in store, he will be ready for it when it comes.

Alright! That's chapter two of this story. The Garden Party is really fun to write and wow, Beatrice has some attitude! To think she's telling Daphne about the rumor she heard of what she believed of Staghart cheating on him. We all know that Staghart would never cheat on Silver. Never. He wouldn't dare to do such a thing to him. But it is indeed sad to know that there are people out there who actually believe something like this without proof or evidence but take it as fact.

Also, do you spot any hidden details reference or easter eggs I put in this chapter? I cannot say what it is but only you can figure it out. If you do, please leave it in the review section. What reference do you think I added in here? Does this particular scene remind you of something? I'm pretty sure Silver's Garden Party dress design is based off of one dress worn by a famous actress from the movie. Any guesses? Hint, hint!
