Missing Scenes

From Belle's Back – Season 5

I don't own these characters. I just like to spend time with them. No other profit to be had.

MmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmM

I saw this idea on another site and thought it was cool. So I borrowed it (with permission) and plan to try it here. A lot of these episodes have missing scenes so I wanted to explore those. None of these will be in series order and I won't promise to post one a day. But I do plan on more than one. And if there's one you want to see a missing moment for, shoot me a PM and let me know.

This one is for Season 5's Belle's Back. I always wondered about that look Belle gave Kitty when she came into the saloon and the way Kitty reacted to her. Just my idea of why.

MmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmM

"He didn't keep her tied and gagged for three years." Kitty said with a sniff.

"No, no he didn't." Matt agreed as he reclaimed his seat next to her, having just watched Belle Ainsly leave the saloon. "But maybe he should have. Want to tell me what that was about?"

"What's 'what' about?" Kitty asked..

"That little silent exchange between you and Belle." Matt replied as he picked up his coffee cup. "I was watching her, Kitty. She was tossing some of what she said at you."

Kitty bit her bottom lip for a moment before looking over at Matt and nodding. "Yeah, she was, Matt." Kitty answered. "When she came back that first time, three months after Jess Cryder took her out of here, she came to me, looking for a job."

"She did?" Matt was surprised. "Well, I never heard about that. I know you didn't give her one."

"No, no, I didn't." Kitty took a sip of her own coffee. "I told her she was a problem I didn't need."

"What'd she say to that?"

"Oh, she had a few choice words to say and she turned and left." Kitty took another sip of her coffee, avoiding Matt's curious gaze.

"What words, Kitty." He knew when she was avoiding telling him something.

"Nothing important." Kitty answered "Anyway, it's over and it has nothing to do with now."

"What words, Kitty?" Matt asked again.

"It's not important, Matt." Kitty made to get up but Matt reached over and took her hand, stopping her from leaving before she told him everything.

"What words?"

Dropping her head, Kitty let out a gust of air before raising her eyes to Matt's. "She said I was being judgmental and worse than the so called proper people in town, seeing as how I was nothing more than a…" Kitty paused knowing how Matt felt about that word. "Anyway, let's just say that she wasn't too happy that I wouldn't hire her."

"Why that little…" Matt seethed. "What nerve to say that about you when she…"

"Matt, it doesn't matter. Okay?" Kitty reached over and placed a hand on his. "Belle Ainsly was an angry girl who needed someone to take that anger out on and I just happened to be there at the right time."

"That doesn't matter, Kitty." Matt shook his head. "She had no right to do that. She..."

"She was angry, Matt." Kitty said sternly. "Angry people say things they might not say otherwise. It's not important."

"Well, it is to me." He grumped.

Kitty shook her head. She knew Matt hated it when people called her names, especially people like Belle Ainsley. But she and he both knew they couldn't prevent it. People were going to say and do what they would. The important thing was not to allow it to get to you, like Matt was now.

"Matt." Kitty sighed as she reached over and placed her hand on his arm. "How about we forget Belle Ainsly and think about something more pleasant." She smiled.

"Like what?" He looked over with a half smile in response to hers.

"Oh, I don't know." She arched a brow. "Maybe what we're gonna do later, after hours.

Matt shook his head with a chuckle. "Kitty, you are a mess."

"That's not what you said last night." She replied with an impish grin.

Matt laughed out loud at that one. "And it won't be what I say tonight."
