Earlier that night

Buttercup's POV

I took a deep breath, as I went up to Bubbles' room, and Belle followed me into the room.

"You're going to look lovely," Belle clapped as she grabbed the make up.

"No...I just want to look plain. I just need a mask." I said as I struggled to put on the dress but those blasted wings. Mina jumped up on her dresser and I felt something cold on my back. I jumped and turned around, she was spraying me with perfume, it was gardenias with buttercup petals in it.

Belle chuckled and gasped, "My own little potion. It makes your wings shimmer." Belle suddenly gasped. "The dress...I must be going mad."

"Really, you're figuring that out now. C'mon Belle, I don't have time for this. If you make me wait, I just might change my mind."

"Its like magic...this dress was made for a fairy. It just zipped around the dress and your wings just sprung from it." Belle gasped and Jack jumped up and down. I looked back in the mirror and somehow, my wings were poking through the dress and Mina sprayed the perfume on them and they simmered as a low greenish silver shimmer.

"But I guess you were right, Mom's dress was made for a fairy."

"Cupie, I'm gonna make you stand out. I just had a positive teastatic idea." She pulled out a brush, my old enemy and pulled out this sparkly silver dust. I could feel the soft bristle brushed around my eyes and something soft against my lips and one of her dolls was standing on my shoulders, brushing my hair.

"Now...for your eyes." Belle said with a giggle and I felt something brushed against my eyes," All done...I think Bubbly would approve."

I stood up and turned around...gasping. Mina and Jack were brushing Fang and spraying him too.

My nerves got the better of me, "I can't do this...not like this...I don't look like me."

"You look beautiful like a freshly sewn button or a freshly cooked piece of ham...I'm getting hungry."

"But...but..." I felt my stomach in knots and I think I'm gonna throw up.

"Don't you darey dare...you'll ruin the artwork. A mask made of glitter."

The slippers were already on my feet and I was being pulled down the stairs were Beast looked at me with a blush, which made me even more nervous.

"Pumpkin, doesn't Cupie look beautiful like glass."

"Verily, you have already stolen my Big Brother's heart...now you will make it spin."

"Until he finds out that I'm a Peasant. Be honest with me, he's going to be mad."

Beast blushed and looked down, "True, Big Brother will be...upset...very upset. But it's better if he hears it from your lips Do you not agree."

"Yeah."

"I will be sure that no harm comes to you. Big Brother...is not use to his emotions especially angry, so he can be quite impulsive to put it lightly."

"I know that...and I'm not afraid of being locked up...I'm scared that he'll stop loving me. Isn't that funny?" My face felt flushed as I saw Belle looking at me with tears in her eyes.

"Oh Cupie...you sound so cute...worrying about a boy and wearing a dress. I'm so proud." Belle just hugged me.

"We must be going." Beast ushered us to a carriage outside the house.

I wish I could say that I was brave, that I held my head up high, but I was so scared that my stomach was doing flips. I looked at Belle who was excited and she held Beast's hand, his face turned bright tomato red and I could see two rings and a purple glow in the dark. Fang was resting on my lap, I don't think I could leave him even if I wanted to. I doubt he will ever leave my side. He was soft from all the brushing and Belle put some glitter on him.

"You'll help me right?" I asked him.

I just started singing softly to myself:

A naoidhean bhig, cluinn mo ghuth

Mise ri d' thaobh, ? mhaighdean bhàn
Ar rìbhinn òg, fàs a's faic
Do thìr, dìleas fhéin

I sighed as we stopped at these stone steps.

"My Big Brother's garden costume party is under way."

"Oh...c'mon Buttercup, you can do this." I said to myself as I stepped out of the Carriage and the Guards looked at me with their eyes widened.

"Make my Big Brother's heart spin." Beast said as the guards let us pass and I could feel my heart jumping up in my throat. I can do this...I can do this...

Just remember something funny...like punching Duchess in the face.

I laughed at that a little. I stood at the top of the steps and I wish I could say that I quietly came down and no one noticed me...

The music stopped...and everyone looked up at me and paused with most of their jaws opened wide and worse of all...Butch saw me. Even with Fang sitting up there with me, nudging me with his head. I just couldn't move.

His jaws dropped and he looked frozen like a shocked fish but my feet were frozen. I just wished these people would stop looking at me. The garden was in full bloom, flowers just sprung up and the gardenias in the water just opened. Brick nudged him and Fang was still nudging me...

Butch stood at the bottom of the steps with the goofiest smile I ever seen him have.
