Timeless Bonds

Flamingo

Blanc looked at Red with a raised eyebrow. "Wait, how is your mother?" she asked, her voice a mix of curiosity and concern.

Red, with a hint of mischief in her eyes, grabbed Blanc's hand and pulled her toward the door. "See for yourself..." she replied, pointing toward the hallway.

Blanc followed Red's gaze and saw Bridget—Red's mother, who would one day become the feared Queen of Hearts—leaving a classroom with a tray of cupcakes in her hands, humming a cheerful tune. She moved with a lightness that seemed completely out of character compared to the tyrant Blanc knew from their present time.

Blanc stared in disbelief, her eyes widening as she watched Bridget happily pass by other students, offering them cupcakes and a warm smile. The difference between the woman in front of her and the future Queen of Hearts was startling.

♪ It's really not a secret recipe ♪

♪ A little butter, flour, sugar and a lot of positivity ♪

Bridget sang happily as she stepped outside, a bright smile on her face. She carried her tray of cupcakes, and children eagerly grabbed them, thanking her before running off to continue their activities. Red, Blanc, and Chloe trailed behind her, their expressions a mix of disbelief and curiosity.

Blanc, still struggling to comprehend, whispered to herself, "That's the Queen of Hearts who always shouts 'Off with their head'?"

Chloe nodded, her eyes wide as she observed the cheerful princess. "It's hard to believe, isn't it?"

♪ Honestly, it always works for me ♪

♪ That's why I got enough to go around ♪

♪ For everyone I see ♪

♪ Sometimes I make mistakes ♪

♪ But I still believe it all will be okay ♪

♪ 'Cause the sun shines a little more brightly ♪

♪ When you take things a little more lightly ♪

♪ It's all gonna turn out nicely with just a taste of your heart ♪

As Bridget continued to sing, everyone around her started dancing, drawn into the cheerful atmosphere she created. Those who had eaten one of her cupcakes noticed something unusual—bits of their clothes and even their hair started to change color, turning into shades of pink.

♪ It's likely you'll fall into something spicy ♪

♪ Just mix it up you'll keep finding that life is sweeter when you are ♪

"Hey, Fay!" Bridget called out cheerfully as she spotted the young girl sitting in the courtyard with a book in her lap. Fay, clearly trying to focus on her studies, looked up and saw Bridget approaching.

♪ Guess I'm here for a spell ♪

♪ Even though it never really works out well for me ♪

♪ One wave of my wand and it's whoopsie ♪

She took a cupcake when her wand changed its color into pink. Happily she skipped away.

"It's Jasmine and Aladdin." Bridget noticed the pair coming towards them.

♪ Call us Jaladdin ♪

♪ He's like a magnet ♪

♪ She's so attractive ♪

♪ It's all fantastic 'cause we're flying high together ♪
