 ~ Disney Duchess ~
Duchess is the sweet mother cat in the movie Aristocats. Her and her three kittens are stolen by their greedy butler and tossed out into the wilds to get rid of them. However Duchess' loyalty to her lady, and her soft lady like good sense help get her and the kittens back home safely. She's sweet, smart, kind, and very lady-like (but still fun enough not to be stuffy). heart
~ My Duchess ~
Apperance: Soft ivory fur, kitty ears, and puffy tail. Long golden curls and soft blue eyes.
Attitude: Very sweet and innocent. Though occassionally timid and not the first to jump into making friends, she's absolutely happy and thrilled when she finally DOES met people. Entirely in love, with being in love, a romantic at heart.
Likes: Family, music (many kinds), friends, and the horses.
Dislikes: Meanness, being the center of TOO many people's attention, and being dirty for too too long.
Flaw: Doesn't quite understand that NOT everyone can get along, and she's a little naive. ~Disney Maid Marion~
A lady that wasn't ever quite 'by the rules'. ^ ^ Sweet and gentle when need be, but also a lover of some of the lesser things in life. Definately not the kind of girl just to let fate run away with her, she always took a hand in it. 3nodding
~My Maid Marion~
Apperance: Orange-red fur and delicate lady-like look. However deep down she's a real tomboy and spitfire, her new attire includes a corset and royal colors.
Attitude: Smart and with a quick tongue. Totally rambunctious and extroverted, but deep down she's kind and she cares about what other people feel. x.x
Likes: GAMES!!!, adventure, family, and playing.
Dislikes: Sitting still, overly girly stuff, and not understanding things.
Flaw: Can be overly competitive at times and run straight into trouble. x.x

~ Iris and family ~
Iris
Name: Iris
Age: mid 20's
Love?: Loves everyone, but noone alone. The sort to choose multiple lovers over marriage.
Super magical spiffy background: NONE
Apperance: A young woman with long silvery white hair, usually tied up into double buns. Her attire is risque, sometime borderline childish, and she's never seen anywhere without her bunny ears. Tall and nicely built from working at the home farm where her and the girls live.
Personality: Sweet and kind, but not always the brightest tool in the shed. She oozes innocence and cuteness and is always more then happy to hug, cuddle, or just be affectionate and be around friends and her babies (sometimes to the point of being 'too touchy feely' for some people). Despite her simple minded nature, Iris is a jack of many trades and picks up on skills rather quickly. The kind of person who wants nothing more then for everyone around to be as happy as possible.
Likes: Sweet things, cute things, soft things, bright things, her babies, and just life in general.
Dislikes: Her babies getting hurt.

(normal font is Duchess, italics is Marion :3 )* Maid Marion- My occassionally tempramental, but still wonderful sister. I wish she'd calm down and find some good friends.. but she does seem so happy out there when she'd riding around with Prince. * Duchess- My kitty cat big sister. Even though she has babies and a family now, she still finds time for me. heart * Mulan- She was being tugged around by two of the boys. She's pretty, but she didn't say much to me. I'm glad she was okay though. - I met her in the castle and again after we got home. She seems really grown up and responsible. :3 * Gaston- Okay, so sometimes he does the wrong thing.. but I love him SO much anyway. A gorgeously handsome and silly man. He's so much bigger but it's almost comforting. He's taken care of me through so many things and I though he can be a little rough or say mean things sometimes.. I think he's really nice deep down. I hope I can help him make some other friends though... - The huge oaf that took my sister away... Well... atleast he takes care of her.* Belle- Sweet little snow princess. Please don't rush into things.. * Jack- I met him when we were both babies, but we met again under the big 'parent disapperance'. He seems smart and very nice, he was trying to make Kida feel better when we met. * Kida- I don't know alot about her, but she was very sad when we met. Hopefully we'll get to play sometime when she's happy. * Aurora and MadHatter- They live together with a mommy and daddy. The boy seems a little strange, but nice enough, especially taking care of Aurora until we find our parents. Aurora is sweet too, and promised to come play music with me sometime. She's really good too! - I met Aurora as a kid and then again grown in the scary castle. I think somethings wrong with her though.. Falling over like that. I hope shes okay.* Nimue- Older and wiser then most of those I've met so far. She swift and floats about in a strange way, but it's pretty none the less, and she's such a nice person. * Simba- He has a tail like me! Eeek, but I hope he got out of that awful helmet.. * Am- She's a kitty like me, except older and a less fluffy. She has a sister, but isn't friends with her at the moment.. isn't that sad? Maybe one day they'll be friends again. :3 * Lexington- Just a baby right now, that can't wait to grow up. He seems nice though, and we were the first people he met besides his mommy. - The first person I've met! He was so small and strange, but Duchess says he'll grow up like us. I wonder what he'll look like?* Puck- My really neat friend I met in the castle! We played a game, and I had to choose a door and save the girls. It was so much fun, but a little bit scary. I hope I get to play more games with him in the future.* MacBeth- A kid like me. He talks a little strange.. but he's very nice, and I like him. He writes stories too, about adventures and stuff. I think that we could be really good friends, cause he seems to like alot of the same stuff.* Brooklyn- Only saw him for a little, but he seems nice. His colors are really very pretty.* Megara- I don't know what to think of her. She seemed nice and quiet.. but then she got really really violent. So I think she's nice.. but I don't know. I do hope her arm feels better soon though.* Gill- A small fish that can swim through the air. He lost his mother and we had quite the adventure trying to get her back. It was really scary.. but it made me feel sort of brave. Gill is so sweet though, I hope we get to see each other again soon. * Rikku- I think this looks like the beginning of a good friendship. She's kind, adventrerous, brave, and just as stubborn as I am about giving up. Finally, someone who loves games and challenges as much as I do.

Friends from the beginning, Duchess and Gaston get along rather playfully most of the time. And though they can get a little rocky on ocassion due to Duchess' over emotional nature and Gaston's well.. lack of foresight.. they seem to love each other very much. :3 Puppy love ish so cute.
Feb 28th- Duchess is pregnant and OH SO HAPPY. Hopefully Gaston will feel the same way.
May 8th (Mother's Day)- Duchess gave birth to a sweet little girl and boy. heart

Oct 8th
My my, the days have quickly flown by since I was first gifted with the wonderful oppurtunity. It seems that by some strange twist of fate babies from the Disney movies are coming back. Of course I doubt they'll be the same when they grow.. but the oppurtunity to raise one was much too tempting to pass.
More then anyone the one I wanted to raise was Duchess, and I was lucky enough to recieve her. A beautiful little red collar with sparkling diamonds. It's a little hard to communicate with her as of yet, and know what she wants.. but that's alright, we'll get closer I'm sure. And I wouldn't say that she CAN'T communicate at all. It almost seems as if when something unpleasant is going on, the diamonds will dull softly.. and when something joyful.. like listening to beautiful music, or her recieving a gift the diamonds seem to sparkle almost impossibly.
I got a companion bubble for her, and I hope it opens to be someone she'll enjoy very much.. I was almost afraid to do it.. as I wasn't sure WHAT would come out.. but I'm sure it'll be wonderful no matter what. And anything that can keep my baby happy and not feeling lonely is wonderful in my eyes.
Which reminds me.. she's got a bed for the moment.. a soft dark purple pillow.. but I really must go shopping for stuff for her.. Gifts, things she'll need, foods she might eat.. It's going to be such a busy day.

Oct 10
We spent the ENTIRE day of the 9th out looking for supplies for when Duchess arrives. The necessities like food, blankets, bed, etc, I happened upon and could get for her. But it was EXCEPTIONALLY frusterating that I couldn't find a perfect enough plush or toys for her.. I saw some small pets.. but until I know she wants that kind of thing, I think I'll refrain from getting her some.
So it looks like I may be making her first plush myself. I'm pretty good with a needle, so it shouldn't be too hard. I just have to figure out exactly what to give her. Maybe a sweet little bunny?
I think I'll try again to gather one or two other toys for her.. but most I'll wait until she can choose which ones she wants herself. heart
The 10th we went around town basicly. I had chores to do, so I showed her about.. though I don't know if she'll remember when she grows. We went by the park, and the market, a toy store, a music store (the last two she seemed to absolutely adore), my school, and then of course around my house (the stables, the woods, the corn fields, the pool, etc).
I hope she will remember things when she grows.. but I have a feeling that she might.. and that she can already think and feel already.. Otherwise I'm just imagining the way her diamonds sparkle and dull. sweatdrop
Oct 12th
To get into the Halloween spirit Duchess and I did a little shopping for Halloween decorations. I think if she's changed by Halloween I'll have to make her something to wear.
We picked up house decorations, and it never ceases to amaze me how much she loves any sort of melody. Maybe it's just because she's a baby? Or maybe she was just a born musician. I myself always loved music too.
We picked up a few plushes and toys for her finally. Cute little Halloween based ones, so we'll have to get some others that are a little more year around. But who could pass up on such cuties? You should see the way she lights up when she's placed cuddled with one of them. heart
Oct 15th
Not only did Duchess get to see snow for the very first time today, she also got to watch some of the others at the shop today. The ever so sweet Jack plush came over to say hi. And the rambunctious Aladdin gave her a bit of an inspection. At first she was startled, to say the least, but I think she really enjoyed herself afterwards. And it's good that she atleast SEE other people for before the change so she won't feel so lonely when she does.
Hopefully we can drop by the shop again sometime soon.
Oct 18th
Duchess Grew Today!!
Leaving her for her afternoon nap on the couch I'd been in the kitchen baking cookies when a soft tug came to my arm and an oh so sweet little "Can I please have some milk mommy?"
She's THE most beautiful little thing. Lovely snow white fur, long golden curls, and crystal blue eyes. Of course her personality so far is beautiful too. Soft, sweet, happy. Though she seems a little timid sometimes when I first show her something, she delights me with happy giggles and enthusiasm in learning. Music is still obviously her favorite, but she seems to delight in learning lots of things.
We spent a bit of time revisiting things.. like the horses, and while she remembers them a little from her time as a collar, she got her first actual meeting today. Of course I think the change tuckered her out, because we were both in bed, snuggled up with our respective stuffed animals rather early in the evening.
------------------------------------------------------------
Oct 19th (Duchess dictated, Iris written)
Mommy has read me her journal since I've grown, so I know how much she loves me and has been caring for me even since I was just a baby collar. She's shown me lots of fun things.. like snow, and the horses, and mostly music. She has lots of it playing around the house, and she even promised me she'd help me learn whichever instrument I want. I'm not sure which ones yet..
Anyway.. yesterday I went to the castle by myself. Mommy didn't get TOO mad, because I was safe and I met lots of friends. These are the people I met yesterday. heart (There were some there I didn't meet too! ))
* Mulan- She was being tugged around by two of the boys. She's pretty, but she didn't say much to me. I'm glad she was okay though.
* Aladdin- Very smart boy. He promised to teach me some things. I wish him and Gaston would get along together a little better though..
* Gaston- A handsome and silly boy. He had to explain to me what a 'chick magnet' was. I still don't understand what him and Aladdin were upset about, but I hope to become good friends with both.
* Belle- The snow girl! She called me a pretty kitty, so that was nice of her. :3
There were so many other people there, I wish I could have met them better.. but mommy said there will be lots of time for that. I can't wait!

Nov 2nd
Oh my goodness.. so much has gone on! I'm so upset I was away from my baby for so long.. but she seems okay and happy, and the cuddle I got from her when I went to pick her up from the castle made up for every missed second. I'm so glad that others helped take care of her during that time that I couldn't be around.. Maybe we can find something special for them as a way of saying thanks?
(Duchess dictated)
Mommy is home and I missed her SO SO much! I haven't even left her side since she brought me home. I helped her take care of the horsies, and cook dinner, and we colored, and I showed her the things I did while she was gone.
I saw so many people too while she was gone. Simba, the poor little lion. Nimue, the pretty and smart elder girl. I saw Gaston even more, and that made me happy. I'm not certain why Aladdin doesn't like him.. but I hope they can get along. I want to be BOTH of their friends, and I wouldn't want them being sad just because I like the other one too.
Mommy must have felt bad for being gone so long, cause she brought me home a new thing to learn. A pretty harp. I know I haven't learned my other things yet.. like the piano, xylophone, or flute.. but I'll learn slowly I know. The harp is really pretty sounding because it makes high sounds.. like the wind whispering about and tinkling through chimes. I love making pretty sounds. heart
Nov 4th. (Duchess dictated)
I like to play around with all my instruments, but the flute is probably the hardest to make sound pretty. Though the piano is a little hard too because it's so big I need to walk along the piano bench just to reach all the keys. But even despite that, I like playing with all my music toys. I even set up an 'opera' for my stuffed animals. An opera is when people tell a story with music and singing. I messed up a few times, but I hope they liked it anyway. I can't seem to get my music to sound as pretty as the stuff on tapes.. but maybe that's because I'm little, and haven't had enough practice? I wonder if any of my friends like music too?
Mommy has also been teaching me a few more French words. I don't know why she does, but it's alright.. They're soft and silly words, so I like saying them anyway. The ones I know so far are: (Maybe I'll learn more soon)
Bonjour- hello
Au revior- goodbye
Merci- thank you
Amour- love
Ami- friend
Beau- beautiful/handsome
Nov 8th (Duchess dictated)
Mommy has been a little busy lately, but she's still have some time to have fun with me. I've just been cooped up away from the castle for a bit. xp
I got to color and draw alot yesterday. My pictures aren't as pretty as mommy's but they are nice, especially since I'm little. They are even more then just stick things because I've been practicing! I like to color more though (so does mommy). We colored a big picture with a unicorn on it last night, now it's hanging up in my room!
But even better I know a whole song all by myself! And I can play it on my piano, xylophone, AND harp because they are all kind of like each other. It's called Silver and Gold, and it's really a christmas song. It's nice and slow though, so I don't make mistakes like I do with some of the faster songs. (Mary had a little lamb, Saints go marching in, etc). I've played it for everyone and sang it too because I know the words!
I can't wait until I can learn more songs. The big, long pretty ones like on the tapes mommy lets me listen too.
Oh yeah... I'm supposed to be learning more of that French stuff.. but I managed to get out of it for the past two days or so. :3 I think mommy said next is my colors and numbers. I wonder why she wants me to learn?

the walk -Duchess sighed delicately, fingers touching the soft fabric of her new clothing lightly. Her mind was so full of thought that it felt empty as she solemnly travelled through the forest behind the house. Why did she have to change? The bigger people were so strange.. they did things that hurt each other.. that upset each other. Biting her lip gently, she spoke aloud to noone at all.- "I just want to be small... I want to be held by mommy.. and be able to do silly little things... play with dolls, color.."
-From out of nowhere a soft question arose, the young kit cocking her head curiously.- "Why can you not do those things Miss Kitty?"
"I.." -Duchess trailed off, confused, looking over the young visitor. A new baby that'd wandered off? Smiling a little gently for the young girl's sake she began to think.- "Well.. I guess there is no real reason I can't do them.. I just won't be.. normal."
-A soft giggle touched the cool morning air, and the young kit ran, the best she could in her dress over to Duchess, looking up with a happy smile as she reached her.- "But why do you WANT to be normal? You should be you. Yourself, and have fun." -Nodding gently, nearly unaware of how wise her young words were.-
-Soaking in the words Duchess knealed lightly, to be at the young ones height, before nodding in agreement.- "You're right. But anyway.. what are you doing way out here in the woods little one?"
-Marion looked around lightly, ears laying down before she finally sighed. Well atleast it was lucky she'd found this big kitty, better to be with someone then all alone.- "I think maybe I'm lost Miss Kitty. I woke up out here."
"Goodness!! No no, that won't do at all." -With one swoop she picked up the surprised kit, holding her much as she held her stuffed animals before.- "Come on then, I'll take you to mommy, she'll be able to help I'm sure. -Smiling happily she added.- "You can come back to my house and play with me anyway. Are you hungry? Tired?"
-Her eyes widened softly, at the action and onslaught of questions.- "No.. I'm.. just Maid Marion."
-Hiding a soft giggle, Duchess snuggled the young girl closer before heading off in the direction of the house.- "In that case.. I'm just Duchess."
How do I even begin today? It's been so very eventful that I nearly had a heart attack. ^ ^ First of all, I must have missed the signs and changes, because this latest growth spurt has changed my Duchess into quite the young lady. I noticed of course when I went to wake her.. for some reason she seemed a little.. down about it. But her mood was better after she returned from her walk.
And what did she find on her walk you ask? A sweet little girl that we've adopted in as her little sister. Marion is a real sweetheart from what I've seen, and I hope she's just as happy here as Duchess. It looks like we'll be going shopping again tonight for the things I need for her. heart
Atleast my sewing skills have been put to use.. making clothes for Duchess friends.. and now for my little darling as well. But what can I say? I love being busy and doing things for my baby. Make that babies. :3Dear Journal,
Things have been... strange since I've grown. I of course look different.. even sound a little different.. but I don't really feel very different at all.
Lots of people have grown... My friend Aladdin is big.. as is Kida.. and Am. They're all very nice as grown children.. but sometimes they act really strange. I hope I don't start to act like they do. Well that sounds very mean... I just don't know how to explain things. Maybe things will feel better once I get to go on my shopping date with Am and Aladdin?
The best thing about growing is being able to play my instruments better.. Longers, skinnier fingers are wonderful things in that respect. However... my best friend Gaston.. seems so sad about it. I wish.. I was little again.
There have been some other really nice things but I feel so.. blah.. that I don't think I've been nearly as excited as I should be. One is the arrival of my companion pet. He's the most adorable little moogle, big and fluffy and soft, with this silly little puff ball on his head. And he likes to dance! Even if I'm not playing at my best. I decided to name him Fugue, and I really hope he likes it here.
Duchess
Nov 14th
My poor Duchess has been down for the past few days.. something about her friend Gaston? I hate seeing her down... I've been trying to cheer her up, but I think it's something she'll have to remedy on her own.. a growing up thing. As much as it hurts to just let her be in pain.
I recieved a letter of warning from the castle today. Apparently some teens must be up to no good, if they are sending out warnings. But that's fine, I'll be happy to sit both my girls down.. however.. I think I'll wait until Duchess will be a little more receptive to it...
(Marion dictated)
Hmm.. I suppose the first thing to say, is that Duchess has been very sad lately.. She puts on smiles when she's around me, but her mind has been wandering.. and her music is so.. hollow these days. I hope she feel better soon... I like her better my normal big sister.
Let's see... I got to meet a few people the other day. Lex the disk (I wonder why I was never an item?), Aurora, Kida, Aladdin, and umm.. some others.. I barely met them, as I was planting flowers. It's neat to dig around and play in the mud, and the flowers that are going to grow should be really pretty I hope.
A strange little thing popped out of Duchess's bubble the other day. I think they called him a... moogle? Well anyway, he is a silly little thing, and Duchess is happy to share her friend with me, so I got to take him out to play with me yesterday. He's funny, and he always adds this strange word to his sentences... Ku... Kupo. I asked him what it meant and he just laughed some and said it meant everything and nothing, all at once. Silly little thing.And now for a comic interlude since I haven't been able to post IC since Avalon biggrin Iris and Masa *while waiting for 'the voice of god' Duchess and Gaston make ou... I mean.. 'talk' on the stairs* XD eek gonk *Pretends Gaston is a teen whilst this is taking place* lol XD I thought you'd like that Masa. And what else are they supposed to do for hours on the stairs. ^ ^ xp They could play Eye Spy? lol What will they be spying!? eek xd Nuuu! It's a game! lol Gaston's too loud to be a spy... whee heart xd *giggles* I know it's a game silly, but it's just them and a staircase, so there wouldn't be a whole lot to spy unless they were using parts of themselves. x.x O____O;;;; Gaston: I spy with my little eye...something beginning with "B"... Duchess: O.o? Gaston: *Grins* Masa from a distance: scream I've tought you no "B" word! Gaston: lol Ok then..."C"! Duchess: sweatdrop Masa: gonk Stop looking where I think you're looking!

12/5
Finally my baby girls are back and things are back to normal. Whatever happened both of them seem exceptionally thrilled about the outcomes and the times they've had, so I'm happy for them.
Duchess has been roaming around being incredibly affectionate. Helping me with chores, cooking, and playing happy music again. (It's about time, I was so worried). I do believe her little friend grew up, so that's probably part of it.
Marion on the other hand has been talking me ear off since the moment she got home spouting stories of games and princess' and big blue monsters. I don't know if she's speaking the truth.. but either she had a very eventful time, or she's exceptionally creative. She's requested I buy her some games, so I believe tommorow I'll go out and pick up a few.. I hope they'll be acceptable though. I don't know if board games are what she has in mind?
With both my babies back and happy I think tonight will be the perfect time to spend time together, watch movies, eat sweets, and have 'the talk'.
Dear Journal,
I had SUCH a time at the scary castle. I dont' know what brought us there, and what brought us out, but I saw some wonderful and terrible things. Poor Aladdin and some of the others even got hurt, which is terrible! I really do hope they're all okay. Maybe I can find out tommorow who is hurt and go check on them. Maybe bring some pretty flowers?
We ran into the scary gargoyles.. but we got away. Oh! But Gaston grew while we were there. He's handsome and he's HUGE. I don't even reach quite up to his shoulders. I'm so happy for him for growing though! Maybe he can make more friends now that he's grown like alot of the children have.
Ohh.. and can I let you in on a little secret journal? I get this funny little feeling inside when Gaston picks me up. Maybe it's just comforting because he's so strong. heart
Hi Diari
I cant rite so good but I wantd to rite nyway!! Cus its vry ecsiting.
I had so much fun at the cassle with Fugue. We playd games with Puck, and I evn won! I had to choos a door and I did. We helpd Aurora and Mulan out of theyr trap. I got to play in a maz nxt too.
When I saa I was home, me and Fugue met som othr kids too. Macbeth, Brooklyn, and Meg. Brooklyn calld me a hero-ine and Macbeth talked abot manu-scrips and story riting. Mayb one day he wil let me reed som? "The Talk"
When I was little, very little, my mother brought home a videotape for my cousin and I to see. A cartoon movie about puberty, sex, and certain consequences. Since I seemed to do well enough, learning it from there I figured it'd be the best bet for teaching the children both at once. We watched another movie first, one about foxes actually that seemed to delight Marion. Nustled down with blankets, snacks, and each other I set forth to put in the new tape.Quote: "Angels.. I got a small request from the castle the other day, and I think now is probably the best time to deal with it." -Sliding the tape in, Iris made her way back to the girls, sitting between the two with a soft smile.- "I'm especially sorry I waited this long for you Duchess.. but it's about time I taught you guys a little about being a girl and some of the miserys and joys that go with that. Puberty, sex, babies... that kind of thing."
With a soft click the movie set in, starting up before the girls. The cartoon excursion lasted on for a little over an hour, before Iris clicked it off.- "Well?"
"That's icky." -The kit wrinkled her nose softly, snuggling close to her mom.- "I don't ever have to do that do I?"
-Duchess however, nearly starry eyed past the soft pink at her cheeks.- "I think it's wonderful! To think that two people who really loved each other could do that.. and make a baby from it! That's so romantic.."
-Giggling and pulling her two dears closer, she mused answering them both.- "No Marion sweetie. You don't ever have to do it if you don't want to. But you're free to change your mind down the road. And Duchess." -Running her fingers through the kittens blonde locks, she purred a little softly.- "It is a very wonderful thing.. but it's very dangerous.. for your body and for your heart.."
"If you aren't carefully and protected in one of those ways like the movie showed you, you could get a nasty disease..
And if you just let any boy do it to you.. you risk a broken heart. All to often boys think only with their lust. Us girls were given the gift of common sense.. and if it's not the time then it's not the time. Noone who loves you will claim things like "if you really loved me you'd do this." If a boy really loves you he won't force you to do anything. Understand?
I'm not going to tell you not to do it.. but just.. make sure it's not something you're going to regret doing. And if you have any questions, or need any help, I'm always here for both of you.. no matter how silly or personal the question might be."
-Receiving a solemn nod from the two, she placed another soft kiss upon each girls head before turning back to the screen.- "Another movie then?" -As she recieved double affirmatives, she smiled and set forth the next movie, a movie in which all three casually dozed off during.-
You won't imagine how productive I've been over the last few days! I mde sure to practice a little with all of my different instruments, and today I even took my least favorite (the flute) over to the castle to play. It sounds so nice there with the empty hallways, echoing through the corridors.
In anycase, I'm doing a lot better at the songs I've been practicing, and my mommy brought me home a book of christmas songs today, so I'd be ready for the holidays. I've been trying to write a few songs of my own as of late, but they aren't nearly as good as the other stuff I play. Maybe one day though.
Let's see.. Mommy has stopped trying to teach me French since I didn't like it so. It's nice to know a few words.. but music is a much more beautiful language. I don't believe she'll try to teach Marion either. The little dear seems FAR more interested in games anyway. Earlier this morning I was playing a few with her, but after that she contented herself with playing this game called Memory. It's pretty neat, but she's much better at it then I am.
We got to ride horses for the first time today too. We started with lead ropes and mommy leading us around, but we got to ride a little in the pastures without her help too. It was a little scary, but the horses are so sweet and lovely. And it's such a nice feeling to have the wind tug through your hair. heart
I've been thinking about what we talked about the other day.. and while I think I understand, I have so many questions. I mean.. how will I know if a guy loves me that much? Will anyone ever love me that much? How do I know if I'M ready to love someone that much? Is it scary? Does it hurt? Will I start acting as ridiculiously silly as the other grown children because of it? I'm.. so confused. But I'm young, I have lots of time to figure it out.
(Marion dictated)
Today we rode horses together all three of us and it was really neat. The horses go really fast, and mom says jump real high too. My horse was going faster then Duchess' even. I'm not really allowed to race with them yet cause I don't know good enough about horses, but one day I can. Aladdin and MacBeth mentioned liking horses. I wonder if they'll want to race someday?
Mommy brought me home games the other day just like I asked, and lots of different kinds too! I have games with pretty peices that you move around by dice or when it's your turn. I have some nice puzzles. There is this really nice game called memory, and you put the cards (there are LOTS of cards) down and mix them up, and then you have to find the matches. I'm pretty good at it, and both mommy and Duchess tell me that I'm really smart at that game.
My mom brought other bigger games though too. One of them has you put up a big big net and then you hit a special little thing over it. Badmitton is what it's called. If you move the net down a little, and use a ball it becomes "Tennis" though. Isn't that really strange? They both even have different rules. But for those games you have to have two people at least.
Memory and my puzzles are nice one player games, but my mommy also brought me something special for my.. umm.. eye-hand coordernatiom. It's a bow and arrow. There is a big round thingy called a target, with little rings in it, and then you use the bow to shoot the arrows at the target. The arrows have sucky things and they stick to the targets.. except sometimes they don't.. that's frusterating. BUT mommy says when I'm older, if I still like it I can have a real one. They have sharp points so they always stick. But are dangerous too. I'm not so good at it now, but maybe I will be. I really want to hit one of those middle circles.

Dear Journal,
. . . I suppose there isn't anything real important to say except that Gaston left. On vacation with his mother and broom until after the new year. I know I should be happy for him, because I'm sure he's having fun and a wonderful time, but I still miss him. Though I guess it's not so hard to try and be happy if I think he's off having a good time.
I wonder if he'll have new friends when he comes back? If things will change? As if they weren't weird enough as is... Before he left he kissed me. No... that can't be it. I've kissed or been kissed a million times by mom and Marion.. this was different somehow. It sent a strange little shiver down my spine. I'm sure it was a good thing, but still.. strange.
Well.. besides that I've still been practicing my music. I never thought I could learn so many Christmas songs, but they're very catchy. Very easy to pick up and learn. I've also been working on my duet for Aurora and I to play. It's a bit rough still, but coming together definately.
I got some really nice presents from Am the other day too! Pretty boxes and lovely plants, all so very elegant and wonderful. I've got them in my room now, and they make me happy to see there. They're my first gift from anyone but my mommy, and that's something very special. I do hope we get to have our shopping trip soon.
(Marion dictated)
I can hit the target almost everytime now! Not in the middle, but the edges, and sometimes a little close to the middle.
Duchess has been playing lots of games with me too whenever she's not working on music stuff or helping decorate. Uno, Memory, Checkers, and horsey games like follow the leader.
I want to play at the castle again soon though. See all my friends.
Holidays..
It's so good to write to you journal. When I'm feeling down... when I'm feeling strange.. you listen without judgement, and you help me express my feelings so that maybe I.. can try to understand them myself. My private thoughts, they're our secret, our bond.
So it isn't hard to tell you that I'd been worrying greatly for Aladdin. I recall days, not too long ago when you could see the happy excitment in him. When he promised a great Christmas party. And yet.. the season came.. and went... with nothing of the sort.
I know Gaston says I worry too much, but I couldn't help but wonder, and hope that whatever he was up to, that he was okay. Maybe he'd just forgotten? Maybe he didn't want me to go? However, the day before Christmas some of my worries fell, as Marion and I found these beautiful stones lying on the porch. They have such a hopeful and brillant sparkle! Mom is having mine mounted into a choker, so I can wear it. It may be a little flashy but it's lovely, and a gift, so it only seems right. Besides... it's not too wrong for a girl to want to sparkle, is it?
Hmm.. I've also worried on Gaston for awhile. I busy myself the best I can, because it's usually those times when I have a free moment that the questions come. "What is Gaston doing?" "I wonder if he'd like to do this" etc etc. Little questions to noone but myself when my mind wanders. Of course I'm sure he's having fun travelling... so perhaps my thoughts are selfish? I just miss my friends so...
Of course it hasn't only been sadness here. Christmas came, and I've learned it's one of the most brillantly wonderful holidays of all. People are friendly and helpful. Everything is lovely, the music is cheerful, and people give and recieve happily. I know it's late, but I'd like to give some things to my friends when I see them too.
Mother got me a violin just like I wanted, beautiful cherry wood, and the most hauntingly lovely sound. Marion, let me win a game (that silly, sweet little thing), and some strange specter.. gentle and kind says mother, brought all sorts of small little things for us. Candies, composition paper, extra strings, a stuffed toy or two, some pretty ribbons for my hair, and a lovely new brush! With the paper I think I'll rewrite just Aurora's part of our song, and send it to her so she can practice. I can't believe it's almost finished.
(Marion dictated)
You wouldn't believe all the cool stuff I got!
Aladdin brought this neat sparkly stone for me and Duchess. It's a little girly, but it's neat too. I've set mine in my room right by the window, because in the morning the light hits is, and send a shower of stars and a big rainbow of colors across my room. How did Aladdin think of such a neat gift!? Duchess must be right when she says he's very smart.
For christmas I got a few board games, one called Sorry and one called Connect Four. I got a big sled too, and Duchess and mommy pull me around in it in the snow! Or I can push it down hills and it goes itself. Either way, it's really fast, and really fun. I've been playing with it mostly because of all the snow, but I did get some more arrows, and some targets, a stuffed animal, a bigger quiver for my arrows, and lots and lots of candy.
It's been really fun! I just hope the snow lets up enough to let me go visit the castle and my friends before too long.

Dear Journal,
I had the most strange adventure yesterday... It was so very full of emotions that I don't quite know how to describe it, except of eventful and exciting. It all began with the simpleness of running into each other.. But the little fish led me through quite a day.
There were scary times.. and times that made me feel brave.. there were painful times, and even the most happy of times as we completed our task and Gill ended up safe and sound with his mother. Through much of it though.. I worried and I wished that others more capable were around.. I wished for parents... I wished for Gaston..
In the end though.. I guess I found out that I'm stronger then I thought I was.. And that my sister would do absolutely anything for me.. Even go up against a scary 'monster' with nothing but rubber arrows.
I have such wonderful friends and family... heart Speaking of which.. I wonder if I should tell Gaston about it when he comes back? Or if he'd worry too much? Then again, he doesn't quite seem like the worrying sort. I suppose we'll see when the time comes.

Diary,
I'm sure I don't have to tell you about how much better I'm getting with my bow. The targets are becoming no problem at all the hit, so I've had to start finding other things to aim for. Cans, stuffed toys, and things like that. I thought of something though after watching TV today. It's really hard to stay still on the back of a horse.. and yet people sometimes shoot from horseback? I'm going to ask mommy if she'd let me practice my arrow up there.
Oh! Also, Duchess had a sleepover last night and Gaston got to stay and play with her all night. Mom said I can have them too, so I think I might want to see if someone wants to come sleepover soon. We could play with lots of my games!
Dearest Journal heart
Gaston and me. heart Me and Gaston heart
Yesterday I did quite possibly one of the scariest and hardest things I've ever done. You journal, know better then anyone about how I feel.. and yesterday I tried to explain it to him... but I don't think I did it right.. because he ended up so sad..
Reguardless the fates seemed to be with us because like always, he carefully comforted me, and before I knew it, his own words were matching mine. To think... that someone wants to be around me so... That someone wants to love me.. heart I feel as if my chest could burst with happiness, and I don't think my heart has stopped fluttering since.
He stayed the night, and I got to sleep curled up alongside him. A comforting feeling I remember from when I was little and slept on occassion with mom. So safe and warm. heart
I must be the most wonderfully lucky girl in the entire world! Gaston is so caring.. and sweet. Brave and strong, and just perfect. And on top of that he's so very handsome... you should have felt the way my heart fluttered when I realized he was taking off his shirt! heart
Even after all night of being with me, I didn't want him to go when he left... I guess that's something I'll have to get used to though huh?
