WHO: Cinderella and Belle
WHAT: Singing of their deep, everlasting friendship...WHAT?
WHEN: Early Saturday morning
WHERE: Library car
WARNINGS: Could get nasty...


The change in scenery, for some reason, was making it hard for Ella to sleep. She'd tried snuggling up to Thomas like she always did, but while she felt safer, sleep still wouldn't come. She couldn't help thinking of the darkness outside, how they were...maybe miles under ground, and how absolutely terrifying that was. She couldn't lie still, she felt at times that she couldn't even breathe.

So after a few hours, she rose carefully, not wanting to disturb Thomas, pulled on a robe, and made her way down to the library car. Maybe a book would help her take her mind from their immediate surroundings and allow her to find some peace.

Unfortunately, she knew that wasn't going to happen the second she entered the library car, and saw that dreadful Lady Belle. She sighed dramatically, and almost turned around, but strangely felt compelled to approach the woman. She had something to say, and she was going to say it, once and for all.

"Ahem," she said in a rather snotty tone, to get the woman's attention. "I have something to say to you."

And taking a deep breath, she began.

"It must have been cold there in my shadow,
to never have sunlight on your face.
You were content to let me shine, that's your way.
You always walked a step behind.

So I was the one with all the glory,
while you were the one with all the strength.
A beautiful face without a name for so long.
A beautiful smile to hide the pain.

Did you ever know that you're my hero,
and everything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings."

WHAT??? Where had THAT come from??
