Author's Note: I don't own anything except
Summary: Belle has an odd request for the Beast.
Belle was laying down in her bed reading another one of her favorite books. She was getting closer to the end and that would mean that she would have to find something else to do. What else could she do? It was cold and snowing outside, so anything outside was a no.
She was in no mood to cook or to bake anything because she had already done so that day. She became distracted and put down her book. She smiled as she thought of one of her favorite child time activities. Belle grinned as she suddenly came up with an idea. She walked out of her room and down the stairs. "Cogsworth, have you seen the Beast?" she asked.
"He is by the fireplace."
Belle wandered down the hallway and down the many stairs. She couldn't remember which door led to the fireplace so she opened the first door she found. It wasn't the fireplace. She continued to open every door and one door she opened Lumiere was kissing Babette. Belle was embarrassed so she shut the door quickly. Finally, she found the right door and opened it.
The Beast was sitting on the floor staring at the fire and he was surprised to see Belle. "Did you finish the book?" he asked as he made room for her.
"I sure did and I loved it!" she grinned.
"So what are you going to do now?"
"Actually I had kind of an odd favor to ask you."
"Oh? What's that?"
Belle leaned closer to the Beast and whispered something in his ear. His ears wiggled when she finished and he agreed reluctantly. He helped her up and they walked out of the fireplace room.
Five minutes later…
"WHEEEEEEEEEE!" Belle laughed.
Belle was riding on the Beast's back as he ran all over the castle. She held onto him and was laughing the entire time. The Beast was overjoyed at seeing how happy Belle was. It had been a very long time since he had seen her smile and this brought back her beautiful smile. They did this for over half an hour until the Beast was too tired to run. He needed a break. "Can we do this again tomorrow?" asked Belle.
"Of course!" laughed the Beast as he gave Belle a hug.
And they did it the next day, and the next day, and the next day. They did it every day until the Beast turned back into a human. When he turned back into a human, he would hold her close and carry her throughout the castle in his loving arms.
The End
