This is not supposed to necessarily go with the whole Once Upon A Time plot. But it takes place while Belle is living with Rum in his castle. Rumpelstiltskin paused in his spinning. Indeed, it was just as well, since he wasn't paying attention to what he was doing anyway. He was using his magical powers to spy on his housekeeper. So, although to the average person he appeared to be lost in thought as he gazed into the empty space before his wheel, he was actually marveling at his servant's agility as she turned cartwheels on the lawn of his garden. Belle had finished hanging out the laundry, and the day was so bright and glorious after three whole days of drizzle, that she simply couldn't resist the temptation of the green grass, and her body demanded exercise. And what better exercise is there for a young woman than cartwheels? She managed at least half a dozen before she stopped, swaying dizzily as she laughed in delight. She turned her red cheeks up to the sun and smiled. Then, grabbing up the empty laundry basket, she walked merrily back towards the castle. Rumpelstiltskin couldn't stop a smile from playing across his lips as he watched her go.
