Author's Note: I don't own anything.

Summary: Gaston's thoughts as he is transformed into a rose, the Dark one, and Belle.

I was just about to rescue the lady that would be mine from the monster known as Rumplestiltskin. He was a horrendous creature, slimy, but creepy. Didn't anyone ever tell him that he needed to brush his teeth? Oh and don't get me started on his skin. He needs to put some lotion on that or something. Rub, rinse, clean, repeat! No one rinses like Gaston! And you can quote me.

Anyways back to me being the hero. I knocked on the doors rather loudly. That would get his attention. As soon as they opened, there stood the creature who had taken my fair lady. Or fair maiden. Or my fiancée. Or whatever I'm supposed to call her. Okay fine, the damn fine girl with the blue eyes.

Before I could do anything, he turned me into a rose. A ROSE? How manly is that? I lost my body to become the rose. I hope he isn't going to cut me or something. Then I wouldn't be as fine. Then Belle wouldn't love me. Then I would be single. I felt like I was going to cry. Wait. Roses don't cry. I am a rose now. Not a human. How am I to rescue Belle then?

We are walking through the castle and when I finally see Belle I tried to call out her name. She can't hear me though. I am just a rose. She looks…happy! I am so surprised. Wait, what's this? He's offering me to her? Oh how sweet. She's holding me. No one holds anyone like Gaston. Wait, that's not right. I can't hold myself. I feel sad again. No one holds anyone like Belle. Oh Belle. If you only knew it was me.

Belle was took me to the cabinet to pull out a vase. So was this to be my fate? Forever trapped as a rose? And I thought fate was cruel. Fate is nasty. Suddenly, I see a sharp pair of scissors coming right at me. Oh noo! Belle! BELLE! PUT THOSE DOWN! YOU ARE GONNA. OUCH! It was too late. It hurt so bad, but then felt better as I was put into an ice cold bath of water.

Belle was sitting next to me. I wonder what she would do if she found out that I was the rose. She looks at Rumplestiltskin. If I didn't know any better, I would say that they were falling for each other. This cannot be happening. Belle is supposed to be with a man, not a monster. Wait, what's this? He's letting her go? What the hell?

Belle puts on her cloak and must I say that this Mr. Rumplethingy, he has great taste in clothes because damn Belle looks fine. Wait, Belle don't leave me alone with him. It's too late as she has disappeared. The dark one comes over to me and stares right at me and smirks. "No one fails like Gaston."

For once, he is right.

He disappears for a while and I am left on my own for a long period of time. I begin to think no one is ever coming back. I see the dark one hours later come running down in a hurry. This must be important. He goes over to the spinning wheel and the doors open. It's my Belle! Oh I want to hug her. She will save me.

She joins him over at the wheel. What is she doing? Is she gonna kiss him? Oh no she didn't. SHE DID! And he's raging. That devil. Leave her alone. Wait, I'm just a rose. I can't do anything. I want to run over to Belle and tell her that I am the rose and that the dark one is a monster. He drags her away. I am alone again.

He comes back and begins to smash all of his fine china. He better not break my vase. Oh no. He's coming this way. Ahhhh!
