I found her at our doorstep. She was lying there, sleeping, shivering in the cold. Her duffel bag was used as a pillow. A small, yellow, cotton blanket was draped over her, but only covered so much of her body. The sun was just beginning to rise. "Dad!", I called into the house. My father, Mark, came running over to me, very tired. "What is it Ashley?", he asked. My other father, Jack, stumbled over, rubbing his eyes. "What's going on?", he mumbled. I pointed to the girl, our dear friend. Belle.

Mark gasped and knelt down. He was full of disbelief. He felt her skin, and his eyes grew wide. "Jack, fix the bed.", he said as he scooped Belle into his arms. I quickly grabbed her duffel bag, then noticed two more tote bags full of her things. She had thought this out for a while. I grabbed them and brought them inside, following Jack into their bedroom. Jack made the bed look neat, and began cleaning up the room. I put her bags down at the foot of the bed. Mark came in holding Belle. He put her down onto the bed and tucked her in. Jack watched, shaking his head. "How in the hell did she get here?", he whispered. Mark ignored the question and got a thermometer. He carefully tucked it under her arm. A few minutes later, the thermometer beeped quickly. Mark took it out and sighed, "Fever. She's staying in bed." I looked at Belle and bit my lip.

Mark got up and looked at me. "Watch her for us. We have to go upload our videos.", he said. He grabbed Jack's hand and walked out of the room. I sighed and sat on the floor with my phone. There was so many questions. How did she get here? How long was she outside? Does her family know she's gone? The hours droned on, Belle slept for ages. Eventually I fell asleep on the floor.

"AHHH!!", someone screamed. I jolted awake and sat up. Chica was on the bed licking Belle's face. Belle looked frightened. I got up and grabbed Chica. "Chica no! Bad girl!", I scolded. Chica jumped out of my arms and onto the carpet. She ran right out the door as Mark ran in. "Is everything okay?!", he exclaimed. "Yeah. Chica woke her up.", I replied. Belle sat up in bed and rubbed her eyes and wiped off her face. She blinked a few times before looking at me and Mark. Her eyes grew wide. "M-Mark? A-Ashley?", she asked. I smiled at her, "Hi Belle." Mark walked over and sat down next to her. "How are you feeling?", he asked. She looked confused for a moment, then she nodded. "I'm fine.... A little startled... But I'm fine." He smiled and hugged her, "Ashley found you outside. You have a bit of a fever." Belle's face immediately went red. I held back a giggle. Of course she would blush because THE Markiplier was hugging her. She slowly hugged back. "Thank you... For saving me from catching my death....", she said. Belle's entire body shook. Mark let go of her and tucked her in. "You must be freezing. Do you want anything? Coffee?" I rolled my eyes. Coffee. Great idea Mark. Perfect for someone who has a fever. Belle shook her head. "Uhm... do you have any tea?", she asked. Mark looked like he had never heard of the word "tea." I laughed a bit. "Tea? Uhhhh..... no. I don't even know how to make tea. Sorry.", he said. "I do.", I said. Belle's face lit up. "Okay! There's tea bags in a box in the pocket of my duffel bag." I nodded and dug around in the bag. I pulled out a box that said "Island Peach Mango Tea" in fancy cursive.

Jack suddenly walked in. "Merk... Chica is in the mud again...", he groaned. Mark sighed, "I'll get her. Stay with Belle." He got up and walked out. Jack looked at Belle and his attitude completely changed. "Hi Belle!", he exclaimed and sat on the bed next to her. If Belle's face wasn't red enough, it was pure scarlet red now. "H-Hi J-Jack...", she stuttered. I laughed. "Oooh! Someone's gotta crush!", I teased. Belle looked down at her hands. "N-Not funny...", she said quietly. Jack laughed and wrapped his arm around her, "Ye don' need to be so shy lass!" Belle eyes grew a bit wide, but slowly she snuggled up to him. "Aww! So cute!", I squealed. Jack looked up at me, "Don't you need to make her some tea?" I sighed, "Alright, alright." I walked out the door and went to make the tea. When I came back with the mug full of tea, Belle and Jack were fast asleep. I smiled and put the mug on the nightstand. I took my phone out and took a picture. I walked out of the room and turned off the light. I looked at them and smirked. "Sweet dreams lovers.", I said trying hard not to burst out laughing. I closed the door and walked away.
