A.N.: Hi! Um, this is my favorite movie of all time. I've been meaning to write something for it for, like, forever. So here it is! I'll warn you, it relies heavily on several concepts from the play version. I'll explain as it all comes along, but it's good to know beforehand.
Belle was crying in the rain over the Beast's body. All the servants were huddling together. Mrs. Potts was sobbing onto Lumiere's shoulder. Cogsworth was standing motionless, a morose expression on his face. Chip bounced up towards them.
"What do we do now, Mama?" he asked.
"I-I don't know, love," she said, sniffling.
"We must comfort Belle first," Cogsworth said logically, "And then we wait."
"Wait for what?" Chip asked innocently.
No one had ever had the heart to tell him what would happen if the spell hadn't been broken. He had been too young before and now they'd just assumed they'd be human again. But sooner or later, they would all fade away. '
Cogworth ambled over to Belle. He gently tapped her on the waist.
"Mademoiselle?" he asked.
She looked over at him. Her face was mostly covered by her hands, but what wasn't showed complete and utter heartbreak.
"What is it?" she asked.
"Why don't we get you inside? You'll catch a cold if you stay out here."
"I don't care!" she sobbed, "I'd rather die than not have the Beast!" Lumiere came over to her.
"His name was Adam," Lumiere told her.
"Adam?" she repeated.
"We'll tell you more about him, if you'd like," Cogsworth offered, "If you come inside and get warm."
Numbly, she got up and followed them into the castle. The four servants followed her.
"Chip, why don't you go on down to the kitchen?" Mrs. Potts suggested to her son.
"But I don't wanna be alone," he said. It wasn't a whine, but you could hear the angst in his voice.
"Babette will keep you company," Lumiere said. Chip's face brightened up.
"Okay, bye," he said as he bounced away. Belle smiled sadly. They all continued to the East Wing in silence. Unlike earlier, when everyone had been bustling around, no one could be seen.
"Where is everyone?" Belle commented. Lumiere, Cogsworth, and Mrs. Potts exchanged a nervous glance.
"Come along, dear," Mrs. Potts urged, "We'll explain once you're dry and warm."
The reached Belle's room.
"We'll wait outside for you," Cogsworth said, "Madame Dela Grande Bouche will take care of you." Belle nodded.
#Belle's POV#
How did this happen? How had she lost her true love? They were so close to finding their happy ending. Just like in her books. The Beast- no Adam- she was going to get used to his real name; he had worked so hard for his happy ending. For their happy ending. He had died, keeping Gaston away from her. Gaston, that no good-
"What's wrong?" Madame Dela Grande Bouche asked.
"He's-he's dead," she whispered.
A.N.: Dun! Dun! DUN! I promise this will be good if you guys just stick with it. It'll just take some reviews to keep me going! So review! Tell me what was good, what wasn't so good, and what you want to see.
