oo4 ❀ tale as old as time | video

( Belle looks tired as she comes into view on the camera, despite the fatigue, she’s smiling rather proudly and proceeds to explain her elated feeling, fingertips pressing against one another in her giddy state. )

I’m finished!

( just two words, but that’s her proud announcement. finished what, you ask? )

I’m all finished! The whole place is completely dust free, pollen free, scum free, scuzz free, dirt free, web free, bug free — free, free free! It’s all gone! Rumpelstiltskin’s is immaculate!

Now that that’s finished and there’s no mess, I can finally take that trip I had been wanting to!
Oh, well, that is to say if I still have a charming guide who’ll assist me with the travelling?

Tidus, once you’re finished with that Cup, if you’re still up to it, that is.

( can you FEEL her excitement, everyone? )

Wait there, I'll be there in a second.

[More like minutes, but he's there soon enough, letting himself into the shop. Instead of wearing his normal attire, he's wearing an actual shirt and leather swimming shorts. He yells as loudly as he can, excited about the trip.]

Belle! Ready to go?

( in the time that it took him to arrive, Belle had changed from her typical wear into the pretty yellow sundress she had purchased for herself under Lizzie's guidance specifically for her trip to the beach. hearing Tidus' voice, she left her room and closed the door behind herself, heading then down the stairs to meet him )

That was quick! ( she exclaimed, out of breath from her fast paced change of clothes ) Ready and willing!

[A sundress? It caught him a bit off guard at first, before he realized she dressed modestly to begin with. When he thought about it, he realized it suited her. He grinned, feeling a little more upbeat than before.]

I couldn't keep you waiting. All right, let's go-- are you sure you're ready?

( a sundress! for the sun! come on, it made sense in her head. giving herself a quick look over and then one to the shop, she shrugs her shoulders lightly to the young man )

Do you think I'm forgetting anything? I just need myself to go, right?

No, I've taken care of it. I noticed the shop when I came in. It looks way better. I feel like I can actually breathe in here. It really looks totally different. You look good, too.

[He's not hitting on her, or anything, since he knows she's Rumpelstiltskin's ~~true love~~ whatever he considers her, and he wants it to work for the two of them. But, she does look pretty and he figures it would be nice to point that out.]

It's much fresher in here without the clutter and the dust. I can even get to the windows to open them for some more light.

( she smiles and finds herself blushing faintly at the compliment. ) Thank you, you look your usual handsome self — if not nice in your new clothing.

Shall we go?

It must be nice to have been able to tackle all of that.

[He scratches the back of his head and smiles at her, nodding.] Thanks. Going sounds like a good idea. [He opens the door and holds it for her, obviously excited from the way he starts talking.]

There's a lot to do at the beach, I think you'll really enjoy it. There's Blitzball, of course, and sandcastles, seashells, the water, and other stuff.

It's a reward in itself to be finished with it.

( giving a polite 'thank you' for his holding the door, Belle wanders past him and heads out onto the street to wait for him to join her. )

What was that ball game again? ( she pressed her hands together girlishly ) Sandcastles? Seashells, water... The sun and the light, people... ( ...freedom )

I can't wait!

[running after her, he starts to walk backward, smiling at her enthusiasm.] I don't even remember. It must not matter. Yeah, the water reflects the sky too, so everything's really bright. The water isn't really cold, it's kind of warm. There are almost always some people around. It'll probably be kind of crowded.

( she grins at his smiling, it feeling infectious to her. )

I thought of swimming, but, the suits for bathing are rather showy. ( what is showing leg anyway? ) I was told to look at Port Royal; but I think I would just prefer to get to the beach. ( besides, she can't swim anyway! )

[he nods, a little bit relieved to hear there won't be swimming today. normally, he would have been more than up for it, but for today just going to the beach sounded perfect.] The water's nice enough to look at, and the way it sounds...you'll see what I mean.

[reaching the gummi ship, he lets her in first, before following.]

I forgot, have you had the chance to travel in one of these yet?

( briefly, she's confused on what to do once inside the ship. she shakes her head to the blond as she glances around her new surroundings. )

Not as such, until now as it were.

I don't have to pilot it, do I?

No, don't worry about that. I'll handle it.

[he put all of the beach supplies in one corner, which includes a few towels, his custom-made Blitzball, and a cooler. jumping in the pilot seat, he motions at the passenger seat for Belle.]

You just have to smile. It's corny, I know, but that's how they work. It makes them kind of a pain to pilot at times, but right now it isn't a problem.

Smile? ( that gets a laugh out of her, so smiling shouldn't be too hard at the moment. sitting down into the passenger seat, still pleasantly excited about the trip, smiling comes easily )

I think I can handle that for this trip!

[he laughs lightly, steering the ship up.]

I'm glad to hear it. Space is pretty cool so it should be hard not to.

( space is among the many things she's never been witness to. glancing to him, she raises her brows )

Space? These ships are built for that? I've never heard of anything traveling through space.

[he nods quickly, speeding up the ship.]

Until I got here, I didn't either. We had airships, but they never went into space. I'm not sure how these ships work, but they do.

That's pretty interesting.

( she leans to look through the windows, taking everything in, amazed )

This is beautiful!

It is, isn't it?

[he agrees, slowing down a little to give her time to look.]

It's so strange, coming from one of the worlds and seeing this. It's completely different.

( her eyes widen in wonder at the sight of the space between worlds. )

I have never seen anything so beautiful; it truly is a wonder. Very amazing to see with one's own eyes.

( her smile widens )

I think I am going to like this sort of travel. One could never really grow old of seeing something so wondrous.

It's the only way to see it.

You can do this more often, when you want to. You know that, right?

You mean pilot this thing myself to see it?

Sure! I can teach you. [he nods like it's no big deal.]

It's really simple.

( she's giving him a look as though he's insane, because he truly must be at this point to believe that the likes of Belle could fly some spacescraft )

[he is insane, but that's another story. he just smiles at her, like he doesn't see what's wrong.]

It's just a matter of memorizing what each thing does, and learning to steer and avoid life-threatening things.
