The next day...
Cherry tossed and turned. "NO! STAY BACK!" she then sat up in her bed with her eyes shut, then panted heavily and sweated some more. "Ugh... Not again..." She then heard a knocking at the door. "Come in..." she then replied.
To most of her surprise, the one who entered was Mo.
"Oh... Hey, Mo..." Cherry replied with a small sniffle.
"How're you feeling?" Mo asked.
"Still a little fluish..." Cherry replied.
"I'm sure you'll feel better." Mo said.
"Yeah, I guess..." Cherry bundled down under the covers. "I wanna go home so badly right now."
"Same here." Mo frowned.
Cherry coughed a little.
"Um, any trouble sleeping?" Mo then asked.
"Uh, yeah, I dreamt that my teeth were falling out." Cherry seemed to lie. "Freaky, huh?"
"It was about him again, wasn't it?" Mo asked.
"No, no, my teeth fell out..." Cherry replied, then wiggled a tooth. "See? I'm paranoid..."
Mo began to wait for Cherry to tell the truth.
"How'd you know I was lying?" Cherry asked.
"You just told me." Mo folded her arms smoothly.
Cherry sighed. "I had a nightmare about Forte."
"How many night has this been going on?" Mo asked.
"What's the date?" Cherry asked.
"January 6th." Mo said.
"Christmas night..." Cherry muttered.
"Oh, dear..." Mo frowned.
"I'm sure they'll go away soon..." Cherry replied.
"You know, usually when Angel had a bad dream, we'd talk about it, then they seemed to make her feel better..." Mo suggested. "Maybe if you talk about your bad dreams, they'll stop..."
"No, no, I'm tough, I can handle it on my own." Cherry replied.
"Well okay, but just know that me, Atticus, and Patch are always around if you need us." Mo said.
"Thanks, guys..." Cherry nodded to her.
"I hope Belle and the Beast make up soon too..." Mo said.
"Are they still fighting?" Cherry then asked.
"Yep and where Atticus is like their messenger to each other." Mo said.
"Oh, boy..." Cherry shuddered. "I guess better than Lumiere and Cogsworth."
"You can say that again." Mo said.
Cherry coughed and then took out a tissue and blew her nose.
"You don't sound as bad as the night before, why don't you come out?" Mo suggested.
"Yeah, I think I can walk around now without wanting to vomit." Cherry agreed.
"Great." Mo smiled.
Cherry stretched and helped herself out of bed, but kept the box of tissues just to be on the safe side.
As the two walked, they ran into Lumiere, Cogsworth, and Mrs. Potts as they were staring at the bell jar which kept the enchanted rose.
"I'm beginning to wonder if they'll ever speak to each other again." Mrs. Potts pouted sadly.
