Giving the dress a twirl, the princess paced around Wonderland Grove where she’d been waiting the arrival of some friends wondering it perhaps it was the magic that pulsed all around that had did this afterall, it wouldn’t be the first time that the wonderlandian magic had changed what she was wearing.

     “Alright Mary, I promised I wouldn’t bring a cake, but we are having a Birthday shot in your honor.” Belle insisted, waving the bartender over. Mary’s eyes widened, almost appalled by the notion. “We most certainly are not.” She insisted to which Belle rolled her eyes and ignored. “Belle, I have no intention of making a spectacle of myself.” Belle turned back to Mary with a laugh. “You should have thought of that two Rum Punches ago.” She teased. “Don’t worry, you’ll like this.” Finally the bartender arrived. “We’ll have a lemon drop and gingerbread shot, please.” Belle ordered and Mary, who was about to intervene, stopped herself. She did love gingerbread.

“Honey, who was at the…” Belle’s words dropped in her throat as she walked in to find her husband’s lips pressed against another woman’s, who sat there on her couch. Belle needed no explanation to know exactly who this woman was. Mary Poppins. She had only heard of her ever since she began dating Bert. On countless occasions she was told by his family how they always thought they’d marry and how practically perfect she was before she left him behind without explanation. It was Belle’s largest fear coming true. A part of her always feared Mary would return unannounced and Bert would leave her. She stood silent at the door for a moment, her heart sinking and tears formed in her eyes before she slowly backed out and ran upstairs where she locked herself in their bedroom. There she pulled her suitcase from the closet and began to pack.

As she flipped through the pages of Peter Pan, Belle couldn’t help but think of her past. The heroine of the story, Wendy reminded her so much of someone and yet she couldn’t quite place who. Wendy Darling had her set of adventures in Neverland before finally returning home where she grew up, married, and eventually had children of her own. Unlike her own parents, Wendy encouraged her children to pursue their adventures and dreams. Still Belle tried to remember where she’d known someone like that, but she couldn’t seem to place anyone in particular.

The Queen smiles and steps out of her balcony, looking around her room. If old friend Mary Poppins is coming to visit, as she thinks she is, everything must be practically perfect for her tea.
