[Way too many things had been weighing on Belle's mind for the last couple of weeks. But this morning she had rolled out of bed determined to enjoy herself. All she needed, she thought, was a little change. Change was good. She had been stuck in a rut for so long - it was definitely time to get out of it. The first step was to get out of her room. Although Ariel seemed to brood a little more than normal nowadays, she was still out and about as per usual. Belle, on the other hand, had mostly kept to herself. She pulled her closet open and stepped back. A small row of dresses greeted her. She dug through them, thinking about the heat. At the very, very back of her closet was a pair of cream colored, slightly puffy shorts that she had made herself but had never worn for some reason or another. That, paired with a pale blue blouse, a matching ribbon and black flats made up her outfit. She smiled at herself in the mirror - so it wasn't that big a change, but it was still something.

She left her room with a basket - an empty basket. No books this time. The plan was to head to the gardens and picks some flowers to brighten up her room - maybe even berries if she could find any.

You'll probably bump into her on her way there - or maybe you're enjoying the gardens already?]
