Belle crashed against an orange wall. Her face was pressed against its sticky contents.
"Ew, what is this?" she shrieked.
Cinderella looked out the window. "Oh, no!"
Belle peered behind her. It looked like they were in a pumpkin garden, just outside of a dark manor. A horse was grazing on a patch of grass, when green vines reached out and grabbed it.
"Oh. My. GOD." Belle felt like hyperventilating. "We're in a PUMPKIN?!!!" She was heaved aside when the pumpkin started moving.
Cinderella looked at her with frantic eyes. "We have to stop this thing!"
"Right away, Cinderelly!" saluted Jaq. He and Gus climbed out of the pumpkin.
"Look for a soft spot!" Cinderella ordered, feeling around.
Belle nodded. Her hands shook as she ran them over every inch of the pumpkin.
Finally, she found a bulging spot. She punched it as hard as she could, even though it hurt.
"Got it!" she yelled at Cinderella. She held onto a vine and pulled herself up.
A fat man was driving the pumpkin/carriage, laughing notoriously. He smiled at Belle with yellow teeth.
Belle scooted over when Cinderella climbed to the top. She noticed that both their dresses were ruined, and her hair was sticking out in random places.
"Lucifer! DROP HIM!" Cinderella screamed.
Belle looked up. Lucifer dropped Gus, snickering even more.
"No! Gus!" Cinderella crawled toward the driver's seat and peeked down below.
Belle gulped. Either now or never, she decided. She took the vine tied to the driver's seat in her hand, and tugged.
"Meow?" Lucifer meowed.
Belle ignored her love of cats. She pulled the vine, making the seat fall off the carriage.
Cinderella smiled. "Bad kitty!"
Belle whooped in victory, raising her arms in the air. She realized that the carriage was heading for a cliff. "CINDERELLA!" She pointed toward the hole in the rock.
Cinderella pulled her mouse friends up and stuffed them in her pocket. "Jump!" She jumped off the pumpkin and landed on the horse.
Belle stood, uneasy.
"Come on, Belle! You jumped off a higher cliff before!" Cinderella encouraged.
Belle nodded, and and leaped of the pumpkin, and onto the horse. She squeezed Cinderella tightly as she pulled the reins.
The horse stopped just before the hole, and the carriage was tumbling down to the rocky spears below.
Belle had tears coming out of her eyes. "We made it!" she panted.
Cinderella grinned and looked at the castle.
"What are we gonna do?" Jaq asked from her pocket.
"Well, I'm not gonna miss my own wedding. Yah!"

And they were riding off to the castle, determined to get things back to the way they were.
