[Belle woke up early in the morning feeling a sudden wave of home sickness she hadn't felt in months. But it wasn't Beast's castle that she longed for, but the small cottage she had lived in with her father and their small assortment of animals.

It's this feeling that brings her to the stables. She's only been here a handful of times since arriving to accustom herself with the horses and to take one out for the occasional ride. Things have been so busy she hadn't been able to come by recently.

She spends most of the morning feeding the horses treats and keeping them company. Eventually she gets one saddled and goes for a ride through the forest, though she's careful not to ride out too far from the village. People may catch her during her ride, or they may come upon her while she's at the stables before or after her ride.]


[After she finishes brushing down the horse she took out for a ride, she decides to sit down and pull out her journal. She has a question she would like to ask the village.]

Good afternoon, Luceti. I should also welcome all of the New Feathers who have arrived. My name is Belle. I have a question I would like to ask everyone, out of mere curiosity, nothing more. So no one should feel pressured to answer. But how many of you had animals you cared for back home? Or do you have any here in Luceti? And if neither of these, what kind of animals are your favorite?

As for myself, I grew up caring for my horse, Philippe. I suppose that's why I feel so comfortable around horses. I miss him every day...[She pauses for a moment before continuing, sounding more upbeat.]

Well, I'm curious to hear everyone's answers.

See? It's the perfect opportunity! All you need is a few friends who would want to stay over, and I'm sure you have no lack of those here, am I right?

[Voice]

[funnygirl]

No. I don't suppose I do. But...what do people do at sleep overs? Would it be like entertaining a party, except it happens overnight?

[Voice]

[of_sablier]

Mmm, something like that. You usually tell stories and play games until you can't stay awake anymore. Sometimes that ends up being the next morning, but that's all part of the fun!

[Voice]

[funnygirl]

It does sound like fun. I take it you have been to one before?

[Voice]

[of_sablier]

Once or twice... not as often as I would have liked!

[Voice]

[funnygirl]

That's unfortunate. Perhaps we can change that sometime soon.

[Voice]

[of_sablier]

I wonder... do you think they'd let us borrow the school to hold a giant sleepover? Think how much fun it could be to have so many people there! We could make a proper party out of it.

[Voice]

[funnygirl]

I don't know. I suppose we can ask whomever is in charge of the school.

[Voice]

[of_sablier]

I think I'll do just that.

[Which means he'll do so in a few weeks because it will slip his mind until then.]
