Beauty and the Beast fan fiction

A New Place

Disclaimer: I don't own Beauty and the Beast, and it's characters. I just have fun writing, and reading fanfiction.

Catherine is at an apartment building, looking around, seeing what she thinks of the place. "I'll need to talk to my husband, but I don't see any problem with it."

Jenny now looking around, she takes a look at Catherine. "Come on Cathy, this is perfect. You know it is."

"Well, I'm sure it is, but you know I have to talk to Vincent, and Father." Catherine makes a face at thinking about talking to Father. "Vincent, will be more convincing than Father will be. But I am sure I can get Vincent to agree."

Jenny smiled over at her best friend. When Vincent and Catherine decided to get married, they decided that Catherine ought to share it with her best friend Jenny. She figured there was something going on, the way Catherine was looking anyway. So she had to come up with something. "Come on Cathy. You and Vincent have been married for over a year now. Father needs to cut the apron strings."

"I wish you could convince Vincent of that." They both laugh.

"Well, one way or the other, I think you ought to take it." They both went out to Catherine's car, and took off. Catherine dropped Jenny off, and then went back to the tunnels.

As she got to the tunnel entrance in the park, Vincent was outside the entrance waiting for her. He took her into his arms, and gave her a kiss. "I felt you smile today, excited about something. What's going on? Did you get some bad guy's?"

Catherine looking up at his leonine features, answered. "I will tell you, later, in our chambers. Right now I am famished."

Vincent smiled at the woman he loved more than life itself. "I will wait. It will be hard, but I will wait."

Catherine in his arm, walking down the corridor, replies. "You will have to, my love. You will have to."

On the way to the dining room, they ran into Mouse. Catherine held out a lava lamp, and replied. "Hey, Mouse. This is for you."

Mouse takes it and replies. "What is it?"

Pointing at the lava at the bottom of the lamp, she replies. "See this stuff down at the bottom here?" Mouse shakes his head in reply. "When lit, and heated up, this stuff will go up and down in this water, making all kinds of neat shapes. I thought you might want it. It's called a lava lamp."

"Mouse sure he like. Thank you, Catherine."

"You're quite welcome." Before she could even finish her sentence, he was off. "I think he liked the gift I gave him."

"I think your right. I will have to go see it for myself, later. Let's just get you something to eat. William knew you would be famished when you came home, and cooked you a nice meal."

"I was hoping you would say that. He makes the best meals." They got to the kitchen, and William brought out her food. When she was finished, they went to their chamber.

They sat down together on the bed. "So what is this you wanted to tell me?" Asked Vincent, you can tell he had excitement in his voice.

"Well, before I tell you, I need you to have an opened mind about this." Vincent looked at her with concern in his eyes. "There is a building, which is vacant, has been for 4 years now. It is big enough for everyone to live in." Catherine looking at Vincent was concerned on what he might say. She knew he wasn't too keen on living above. "Before you say anything, this place has a place you can keep hidden from anyone that we don't know. It is big enough for the whole community, and even has a tunnel in the basement for people that don't want to live above."

"Catherine, you know I can't live up above."

Catherine looked over at Vincent. "Father has been telling you that all your life. It's about time you realize you can live up above." She takes his hand in hers, and putting a finger up on his lips, replies. "Before you go any further with that remark, why don't you at least give it a thought? I know Father, will have a cow, but it's up to us now, not him. Just think about it, please for both of us."

"I will think about it. But even if I agree to it, we will have to have a community meeting."

"I know I already counted on that." Catherine said going over to her desk, to work on some homework she had from work. "Just think on it, please."

"I will, Catherine. I promise."
