Vampy: Hey everyone, so sorry about the delay, I've had AP exams and had to study like crazy. Anyway, here is Beauty and the Beast next chapter!

Tuski: Vampy doesn't own the Yu-Gi-Oh GX characters mentioned or the monster cards the servants are based on, nor does she own Walt Disneys Beauty and the Beast!

Chapter 10: Something there

Standing on the balcony of his room, Jim watched the white snow covered courtyard, his dark blue visibly watching the only three people in it. He was now wearing a cream colored long sleeve shirt, red trousers and a red cape, his hand holding his still bandaged arm. He watched Tuski, wearing a light green dress with a red cape trimmed with white fur around to block the cold, her horse Felipe, Atticus and Blaire as they showed her through the courtyard, the smiles and laughs coming from her making him feel strange in a way he didn't understand. Hassleberry and Aster were with him, watching their master as he watched her. He then looked to his bandaged arm then back up.

"I've never felt this way before…I want to do something for her…but what?" Jim said, first confused, then excited and then confused, looking to Hassleberry and Aster for help.

"Well, there are the usually things, flowers, chocolates, promises you don't intend to keep." Hassleberry said, before Aster punched the little dinosaur arm, smirking.

"No no, it has to be something very special, something that piques her interest." Aster said, grinning, happy that his master was falling in love with such a nice girl, before thinking for a moment. He then remembered something and said he had an idea.

(Little bit later)

"Tuski, I have something I want to show you." Jim said, leading the dark haired to a door at the end of a now sun light dark golden yellow hall, the windows having red drapes around them and potted plants scattered around in random places. He then was about to open the door before quickly looking at Tuski and closed the door. "But you first have to close your eyes." He then said, causing Tuski to raise her eyebrows. "It's a surprise." He said softly and Tuski did as asked. He waved his hand before her face, before grinning and opening the doors. He then took her hands in his hid larger ones gently, before slowly pulling her into the dark room. As they went into the room, she asked him if she could open her eyes. He said no, before leaving her in the center of the room, before running to the drape covered windows and opened them, bring light into the room. When she asked again, he said yes.

Tuski opened her eyes, before smiling as they widen, looking around the area. They were in a beautiful library, with millions of books placed neatly on many bookcases that were built into the wall. "I can't believe it; I've never seen so many books in my life!" She said in amazement. "You…you like it?" He asked hesitantly. "It's wonderful!" Tuski said, smiling to him.

"Then it's yours!" He said, surprising her, but she smiled and took his hand into her smaller ones. "Thank you." She then said, giving him a smile, making him smile back at her shyly. Unaware to the two was the fact that the servants were watching them, all grinning in excitement.

(A little bit later)

Jim and Tuski were soon having lunch in the dining hall before the now open window, milk and sugar being poured into Tuski oatmeal (I have no idea what they were eating in the movie, it looked either to be oatmeal or gruel to me!) before she took a bite. She then looked to Jim and gasped, leaning away a bit. Jim was eating his meal like a wild dog before he looked up, Tuski looking away quickly as Dorothy looked at her nervously, Blaire smacking her hand to her forehead. Jim wiped his face, a bit embarrassed, as Blaire pointed to his spoon. He looked and then tried holding it. Tuski watched silently as he struggled to eat with it, before placing her spoon down and holding her bowl up with a nervous smile. He noticed and smiled doing the same, before they began sipping from the bowl.

They soon then were taking a walk outside, Tuski trying to help him feed the birds as she gave him some bird seeds before watching him. 'There's something sweet and almost kind, but he was mean and he was coarse and unrefined but now he's dear, and so unsure, I wonder why I didn't see it there before.' Tuski then thought, shaking her head softly as she watched him. She then knelt next to him and put more bird seeds into his hand, before spreading a little path of it before a small bird. They watched it slowly approach before landing in Jim hand. Tuski then let a bird land on her finger as her hand brushed against his, as she stood up.

'She glanced this way, I thought I saw and when we touched she didn't shudder at my paw, No it can't be I'll just ignore but then she's never looked at me that way before.' Jim thought, when her hand brushed against his, before he glanced away to the side. He looked back only to meet her gaze. She smiled to him, before hiding behind a tree.

'New and a bit alarming, who had ever thought that this could be,' Tuski began to think, pulling the hood of her cloak off and poking her head out to see Jim. 'True, that he's no Prince Charming, but there something in him that I simply didn't see.' She then thought, before throwing a snow ball at him. She laughed when it made contact to his face as he looked at her, before he started to make a giant snowball. Just as he was about to throw it at her, she threw the one she had hidden, making the one he had fall on his head. The servants watched the two have a full out snowball battle, smiling to each other. After they finished, they came inside and got a book from the library, before going to the sitting room, sitting before the fireplace.

"Well, who'd have thought?" Blaire asked, smirking, as they all watched.

"Well, bless my soul," Dorothy said, giving a motherly like smile to the two.

"Well, who'd have known?" Hassleberry said, scratching his head smiling.

"Well, who indeed?" Aster said, looking to the dragons next to him as the all nod their heads.

"And who'd have guessed, they'd come together on their own?" Alexis said, grinning.

"It's so peculiar, we'll wait and see a few days more." Dorothy then said, before pushing them away from the entryway. "There may be something there that wasn't there before." She then said, making all the servants grin even more. They gathered all together as they planned the dinner for this evening, determined to make it so romantic for the two tonight. Everything had to be perfect for their master confession tonight.
