Cherry and Atticus's Magical World

chapter 1

Gabrielle, Felicity, Chip, Akito, Estelle, Vincent, and Jenny were walking along the hallways as they were being properly shown around Belle and Adam's castle.

"What do you guys do for fun around here?" Jenny asked.

"We could read," Gabrielle smiled. "There's a lot of great books in the library."

"Let's read!" Estelle cheered.

"We have read several of these though..." Felicity said. "Why don't we make our own book like for Queen Cinderella and King Henry?"

"Yeah." Estelle nodded.

"Make a book?" Jenny asked.

"Oh, Jenny, don't tell me you've never made your own stories before," Vincent took her hands. "It's like an adventure, but with your imagination!"

"Well, that does sound like a lot of fun." Jenny smiled.

"Hello, dears, what's going on in here?" Mrs. Potts came into the room to see the children.

"Hey, Mama," Chip smiled to his mother. "We're gonna make a book!"

"Oh, that's wonderful!" Mrs. Potts smiled.

"Thanks!" Gabrielle smiled.

"What will your book be about?" Mrs. Potts asked.

The kids hummed and looked rather lost.

"We are not sure..." Felicity spoke up. "If only Maman were here, she writes stories all the time..."

"Oh, yes, she especially did during the enchantment," Mrs. Potts agreed. "The Master turned his study into a studio for her as a present after giving the library to Belle before you all were born."

"Ooh." The kids said out of interest.

"Hey, I have an idea, Mrs. Potts," Akito smiled to the kitchen woman. "Why don't we make stories about during when Belle and Prince Adam when they were starting to get close together during the curse?"

"Oh... I don't know..." Mrs. Potts smiled with a curious shrug. "That was a very long time ago after all."

"I think it's a good idea," Gabrielle agreed with Akito. "Besides, it would be educational for all of us."

"Yeah!" the kids agreed.

"Well, I suppose I could tell you dears about the fun times in the castle before Belle broke the spell," Mrs. Potts offered with a smile. "I happen to know very good ones aside from the Christmas that we spent all together."

"Don't forget about the surprise party, Mama." Chip smiled.

"Oh, yes, how could I forget the surprise party?" Mrs. Potts smiled as well.

"It's decided then," Vincent said. "We'll make stories on the best times in the castle."

"Well, alright." Mrs. Potts smiled to all of them.

"Where do we start, Madame Potts?" Felicity asked.

"Well, I do remember that rather uncalled for fight that Belle and the Master had..." Mrs. Potts started. "It was roughly a week after Christmas."

Flashback takes us to the castle a week after Christmas. The kids were going to listen to the story and make a chapter out of their homemade book, calling it 'The Magical World'.

"'Once upon a time a beautiful young woman named Belle went to live in a strange and magical castle with her new friends, Cherry, Atticus, Mo, and Patch'," Akito narrated the first chapter. "'There they befriended the castle's staff of enchanted objects who, like their master, The Beast, had once been human. But row they were all living under a spell that only the power of love could undo. As their friendship grew they hoped that Belle might be the ore who could learn to love a beast and thus release them all from the spell'."
