Breakfast was wonderful. We had hash browns , smoked sausage, and buttermilk pancakes. It's wonders what a teapot can do. Belle is not talking to Beast. After breakfast Lumiere and Cogsworth offered to take us on a tour of the castle. Cogsworth cracked his little joke about "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." Cogsworth ,Lumeire,and I started walking to the library when I noticed Belle wasn't behind me. I turned just in time to see her scurrying up to the west wing. I ran after her up the stairs and down the hall. I walked past broken statues of gruesome beasts and broken mirrors and into to Beast's room. Belle was taking the glass cover off the rose when I walked in. I silently went and stood next to her awing in the rose's beauty. Beast threw open the doors and scared the heck out of us all.
"GET OUT!" he screamed.
Belle and I tore down the stairs and hopped on Phillip. I turned and looked at the castle as he galloped away. I was interrupted by the sound of wolves. Belle screamed as we were attacked. I was thrown off the horse but the wolves were more interested in Belle than me. I passed out while Belle was clobbering one of the wolves with a branch. I woke up in Beast's room while Belle was cleaning a wolf scratch.
"He lives," Chip said laughing.
I looked up at Belle and Beast. They smiled at me. Beast was starting to get nicer. Belle walked over to me and brushed my hair back.
" You were very brave. Going out there with me and all," she said.
"You really were Tristan. You're a brave kid. I want to apologize for yelling and all in front of you," Beast said kindly.
I ran and hugged him accepting his apology. I sneezed and made everyone jump.
"Come along dear off to bed," Mrs. Potts said scooting me along.
"But I'm not sleepy," I said copying Chip's future remark.
" I don't care if you are or not. You need rest by a fire in a warm bed or you'll catch your death," Mrs. Potts said lovingly.
Lumiere followed us up to my room and lit a fire in my fireplace. Mrs. Potts put five quilts over me and a bed warmer under the covers.
"Now try to rest. I'll have toast and hot soup up in a jiffy," Mrs. Potts said hopping out.
A little while later Belle brought in a tray of hot Chicken soup and buttered toast. What can I say, she's a Disney princess.
