A random idea that occurred to me when I was very young about how Beast would react to Maurice's sudden outburst. I actually thought it'd be a hilarious story to write. One-shot, pre-shot movie.

The night Maurice stepped into the castle and was welcomed by objects of the master, who was the beast that frightened him as Maurice tried to explain his incident in the woods. The scary edge in the beast's voice penetrated Maurice.

Having enough of the beast's taunting, Maurice took deep breaths before saying anything more and lured him away from the living room to the door where he had entered earlier. Fuming, Maurice finally exploded, "GET OUUUUUUUUUT!"

Now it was the beast's turn to be terrified. As silly as it was, he vanished out of his own castle. Maurice thought about listing every reason why he had to be angry at the beast, but seeing him running outside made him think. Maurice didn't know exactly where or how far the beast ran nor did he care. What mattered most was Maurice's outrage ought to put some sense into the beast on many levels, especially by how he'd done it.

"Don't come back until you behave!" Lumiere called from where Maurice first entered.

"Oh no," Cogsworth lamented in dismay.

"Now, see here, Cogsworth, you should be happy that he isn't here to rant us," Lumiere reminded him.

"Yes, that is true, Lumiere," Cogsworth sniffed.

"If he keeps that up, the spell will never be broken," Mrs. Potts chimed in.

"That's sad, but true, Mama," Chip said, sadly and rested his head on Mrs. Potts' side. This made Mrs. Potts feel a little better.

"Can I still stay here tonight?" Maurice asked.

"Of course, you can, monsieur," Lumiere replied, "I'll walk you up there."

"Thank you once again," Maurice said.

"Alright, I give in," Cogsworth relented as he followed the two upstairs.

As soon as they found a room that Maurice can borrow, he was very contented for the rest of the night. "Goodnight," he announced.

"Goodnight, monsieur," Lumiere said, as he walked out of the room.

"Sweet dreams," Cogsworth said, politely this time.

"See you in the morning," Lumiere said as he closed the door behind him and his partner. To Cogsworth, the candlestick said, "You'll get used to his presence in time."

Cogsworth said nothing, he just nodded in agreement. Finally, he said, with a yawn, "I think we should be heading to bed, too."

"Goodnight, Cogsworth."

"Goodnight, Lumiere."

"Goodnight, Mrs. Potts," Lumiere said, "Goodnight Chip!"

"Goodnight," Mrs. Potts and Chip replied.

"Goodnight, mademoiselle," he said to the feather duster.

"Goodnight Lumiere," she responded.

Before falling asleep, he blew away the fire in his hands.

Whew! I ultimately got this out of the way, especially the part where Beast was being terrorized when Maurice yelled at him for being such a jerk to him ever since they met.

*Of course, Maurice wouldn't yell at Lumiere and Cogsworth to get out.
