Across worlds and time

18

Chris's p.o.v

We arrived back in Beast's castle just in time for Belle's and Beast's date night. Beast looked well dressed and Belle was jaw dropping. "Let's sick to the shadows and make sure that nothing happens" I suggested

Sora nodded in agreement. We then followed the pair into the ball room were we watch them dance I started to hum a melody to myself. "Go on child" Lumier said, "Sing"

And so I sung. ( Song above. I personally like the original better than the remake.)

Tale as old as time

True as it can be,

Barely even friend, then somebody bends unexpectedly

Just a little change

Small to say the least

Both a little scared nether on prepared

Beauty and the Beast

Ever just the same

Ever a surprise

Ever as before

Ever just as sure as the sun will rise

Tale as old as time

Tune as old as song

Bittersweet and strange

Finding you can change

Learning you were wrong

Certain as the sun

Rising in the east

Tale as old as time

Song as old as rhyme

Beauty and the Beast.

Tale as old as time

Song as old as rhyme

Beauty and the Beast

"Thank you honored guests" Lumier said

"Yes a very splendid job. A welcome indeed." It was Xaldin

"You" I growled looking up at the black coat

"You don't know when to quit. " Xaldin said

"You wanna bet" I growled

Before beast could react we were surrounded by lancer heartless. After we finished up with them, Beast started blaming Belle for what happened. I mean dude come on lay off of her a little she only wanted some one on one time with you, gez.  He then asked for us and Belle to leave the Castle. I mean c'mon dude really we tried our best besides even if the rose is taken the effects of it will still be carried out. I told him this which calmed him somewhat. "Thank you Chris" Belle said

"No problem Hecate's magic is quite easy to decipher and it has an unlimited area of strech so no matter where the rose is it will still do it's job for Beast and the inhabitants of this castle." I smiled

I gave Sora a look that said that he needed to handle the Beast while I dealt with Belle. We gave each other a nod before I left with Belle. Once I saw that Belle was back in her usual attire we just sat in awkward silence. Then Belle broke the ice. "So are you and Sora an item now as they say in your world?" Belle asked

"Yes and No." I sighed

She settled down for a long talk. Oh boy. "You see my situation is complicated and as you know from reading my books that often times being in a relationship is not all that easy for my kind. We might die leaving our partner behind to grieve or in the long run hurt or partner in unimaginable ways that even we wish we could take back. I guess that's why I smypathize with Beast so much we're alike in more ways than one. " I told her, "That's the no part. The yes part is that we do share romantic feelings for one another we just haven't had the time yet other than in between worlds to really do anything"

Belle gave me a sympathetic look before heading out to her balcony. Belle and I then spent a few minutes star gazing, before we spotted Sora and the others in the courtyard more than likely looking for the rose. Belle backed away from the railing then she spotted the rose. She picked it up before notifying the others of her discovery. "Beast!" She shouted

They weren't the only ones who heard though. Xaldin then showed up an took Belle after he sent a massive hellhound in my direction. Which sent me toppling off the balcony. I used my powers to catch myself before I hit the cobblestone. "Go save Belle I'll be fine" I told Beast and the others.

They ran off to go find Belle and Xaldin. After dealing with the hellhound I joined them or tried to seeing as how I was the cornered by a few lastryagonian giants. I inwardly cursed Xaldin and my incomputance for letting this happen. Then a few minutes later I joined up with the guys. "Get out of my castle now" Beast snarled

"With pleasure, but I'd rather travel light... What shall leave behind. Belle or the rose? " Xaldin asked

The Beast's anger was spiking astronomically. "Belle!" Beast shouted.

Before any of us could react Belle elbowed Xaldin in the gut and grabbed the rose making a break for it. Beast then attacked Xaldin, but he dodged. Then Xaldin summoned six lances to his side, oh he wants to play that game well bring it on two can play at that game.

Fighting him wasn't easy, but we won and he went back to his recompleted self. Belle then returned the rose to Beast and he humbly accepted it. They then spent some time dancing  together. I just stood by and watched the two of them dance together. Then Sora held out his hand to me. "Shall we Chris?" He asked with a smile

I giggled at how he was trying to act like a gentaleman. I smiled, "Yes"

I took his hand and got into a formal dancing position and we just swayed back and forth while we just enjoyed the moment. "CHRIS! SORA!" Donald shouted at us

Right we had to keep on going to other worlds and help before the Organization hit them to hard. So we waved good bye to Belle and the Beast before we left for the next world. Once aboard the ship Sora pulled me into his chest. "You okay?" He asked

"Yeah a few scratches, but nothing to-" I started to say

He then pulled me to med bay. "Take off the jacket, Chris" Sora ordered

I took it off to reveal the wounds that I didn't realize I had on me. "Whoops" I mumbled

Sora then gave me a look. I sat down as Sora started to work on my wounds. He patch me up then I decided to do the same to him, but I had him take off his shirt as well. His scars where worse than mine. I sighed and began to patch him up. "So you do this often" Sora asked

"More than you'd think" I returned

Sora smiled. "So what are your plans once we are done with this quest?"

I frowned, "If we do finish I'll more than likely go back to earth and prepare for the war and pray I'll make it through" I answered

Sora then turned to me, "You mean we'll go back to earth" Sora corrected, "You heard Persephone we are connected in more ways than one without one you won't have the other"

"Only if the cord is not cut between the two of us" I said

"No Chris if there is anything I won't let you do is cut the cord. Please since I've met you my life has changed in more ways than one and I've enjoyed it much more than I could ever hope to. " Sora said

"Sora if I don't cut our bonds my enemies would not only use your loved ones and mine against the two of us. I can't put you thru that, Sora." I said

Sora brought me into a hug, "I'll never let that get to me okay."

We stood there just enjoying each others company. "Chris, Sora your needed on the bridge" Goofy said over the PA system

"This discussion is not over, Chris" Sora said

"Fine" I grumbled

Time to tackle the next problem.
