The last few weeks had been kind to the young beast. The down time allowed Belle to regain her confidence in her ability and her place in the team, although a nagging thought still plagued her that maybe she was just being babysat. And after some quality time with the remaining members of the Outsiders Belle was back to her bouncy and excitable self. She attended training with Fenrir nearly everyday, as she soon found being in his presence kept her calm enough to keep from changing, and even found the time to meditate with Twilight every so often, although she rarely could sit still for long periods of time. She also convinced Thorn to play video games with her. 

Watching several members of the team be cut worried Belle. She knew that Fenrir couldn't technically kick her out, as her almost legal guardian he had to keep her around. She also rather liked the two new members, both of them seemed friendly to her. But she was still worried she wouldn't be invited along to the next mission. Any sort of worry left her as they boarded the cruiser, a grim reminder that she ruined the interior of the old one. 

Belle took her seat with Thorn and Fenrir, sitting in the copilots seat. But her trip wasn't spent copiloting, she had her face pressed against the window looking down at the ocean below. And she bellowed out every time she thought she saw a whale or a mermaid.
