Once the fire room was empty, Lumiere, Cogsworth, and the oven mitts came in, depressed.
"I hope you guys are happy." Cherry scolded the four enchanted objects who ruined Mrs. Potts's surprise party.
"We feel terrible." Cogsworth frowned.
"I would too..." Cherry folded her arms. "Mrs. Potts makes everyone work together and she asks for nothing in return, we finally give her something in return and you all mess it up!"
"We're so sorry." Lumiere said.
Cherry nodded firmly and then walked off as the four looked upset and guilty for their actions. And where they decided to try it again after apologizing to the chef.
Atticus walked into Cherry down the hall. "Oh, Cherry..."
"Hey." Cherry replied, not looking at all tired or terrorized by a nightmare.
"Well, looks like you've been having plenty of sleep." Atticus said.
"I feel well-rested actually." Cherry replied.
"That's great." Atticus said.
"Uh, sorry about that party, Atticus." Cherry then said, knowing he must be pretty bummed out right now.
"I just wish that those four would have just worked together." Atticus sighed.
"All we can do is hope for the best, I guess..." Cherry shrugged. "Clearly this castle isn't big enough for all of them. Why don't we just go home and start over? The Beast only wanted Belle here anyway, we don't have to stay like prisoners with her."
"Cherry, she's our friend and we're not going to leave her." Atticus said.
"Who's gonna know?" Cherry shrugged. She soon got a scolding look from him. 'Okay, fine..." she then gave in.
"Thank you." Atticus smiled.
"There has to be some way to fix this." Cherry pondered.
"But how?" Atticus asked.
"I dunno..." Cherry shrugged. "Usually you have an idea right about now, Dick Tracy Jr."
"Well, I suppose if Lumiere, Cogsworth, Tres, and Chaud apologized to Chef Bouche; he'll bake another cake." Atticus said.
"That's as likely as a snowball's chance in-" Cherry was about to say.
"Hello! We can help!" Atticus replied.
"Oh, right..." Cherry said.
"When has our help ever backfired?" Atticus tested.
"Uhh..." Cherry tried to think.
"Never." Atticus said.
Cherry frowned in defeat. "Thrill me."
"Let's get to the kitchen." Atticus said.
Cherry then followed him.
They went into the kitchen, but stopped half way once they saw the four enchanted objects that argued apologize to the chef.
"Did they learn their lesson without us?" Atticus asked.
"I may have talked to them." Cherry shrugged.
"Smart." Atticus said.
"Thanks, I am." Cherry smirked.
"I think we can leave the rest to them." Atticus said.
"Maybe we can start fresh tomorrow?" Cherry hoped.
"Yeah." Atticus said.
Cherry and Atticus then walked off together as this problem seemed to fix itself.
The next day came sooner than anyone knew. The Beast was still asleep and didn't seem to even get up for the next day.
"Do I smell cake?" Patch asked as he caught the scent of cake.
"Cake?" Cherry and Atticus smiled.
"Sounds like some enchanted objects we know got to work together after all." Mo smiled as well.
Lumiere and Cogsworth then came over and greeted the four for the good morning so far.
"Morning, you two." Mo smiled.
"Good morning." Lumiere smiled back.
"Glad to see you guys are friends again... Mostly." Cherry replied.
"Yeah." Atticus added.
"We'd like to try this whole surprise party again." Cogsworth said.
"Care to join us?" Lumiere invited.
"We'd love to." Patch smiled.
"Excellent!" Lumiere cheered.
"Yes, very splendid." Cogsworth also smiled.
"Let's get to Mrs. Potts." Mo said.
The others nodded once they could really have some fun with Mrs. Potts now that everything was all cleared up.
Luckily, Mrs. Potts was asleep in front of the fire. Patch came beside the teapot and nuzzled against her.
Mrs. Potts looked over. "Oh, hello, Patch."
They soon heard music. Mrs. Potts and Patch looked up, Mrs. Potts was surprised while Patch smiled as this was turning out better than yesterday already. And where Lumiere, Cogsworth, Atticus, Mo, Cherry, Belle, Chef Bouche, Chaud, and Tres brought in the new cake while the instruments played the music. Chef Bouche had a smile on his face as things were working out well enough now.
"Surprise!" Chip and the others cheered.
'This time, this worked out perfectly.' Mo thought to herself.
Mrs. Potts gasped happily, she was not expecting this and this time, she was delightfully surprised. Drell and Hilda even came in to join in on the celebration.
"Are you surprised?" Mo smiled.
"Why, I'm speechless!" Mrs. Potts smiled back in surprised delight.
"I had a feeling you'd say that." Mo smiled.
"Your good cheer is priceless." Lumiere added.
"Timeless too," Cogsworth finished. "We're lost without you."
"Indeed." Patch nodded.
"I made this for you." Mo took out a frilly purple hat that looked like a housekeeping cap.
"Why that looks like my hat before the enchantment!" Mrs. Potts beamed. "Where on Earth did you get it?"
"I made it," Mo smiled to her. "My mother taught me how to sew."
"It looks absolutely lovely." Mrs. Potts smiled.
"I was hoping you would like it." Mo smiled back.
"I love it." Mrs. Potts smiled.
Mo put the hat on top of Mrs. Potts.
"Madames and Monsieurs, it is a pleasure for me to stand before you wiz my colleague in honor of zhis great lady." Lumiere smiled.
"Mrs. Potts has given us the most important gift anyone could offer," Cogsworth also smiled. "True friendship."
"Yep." Patch nodded.
"Oh, thank you, thank you all," Mrs. Potts smiled to all of them very fondly in the room. "And this is so wonderful. All the more because you did it together."
It was even better when the sun came out and it was a bright and happy day. It seemed as though even Mother Nature had a present for Mrs. Potts. And where that would have to be the best present of all. That story soon ended there.
"I wish we could've been there, but it sounds like a nice party." Jenny smiled.
"Indeed it was." Mrs. Potts smiled back as she hugged Chip.
They soon heard two birds chirping at the window.
"Birdies!" Gabrielle smiled.
Estelle soon opened the window to let the birds in. The birds chirped as they came in. Gabrielle posed and let the birds perch on her fingertip with a smile.
"Oh, Gabrielle, you look just like your mother when she took care of that bird with a broken wing." Mrs. Potts smiled to the girl.
"I remember that day." The male bird smiled.
"I guess the bird remembers your mother." Felicity came beside her best friend.
"As well as your father and your mother and your mother and your father and his dog." The male bird said to Gabrielle and Felicity and the Fudo siblings.
"Well, it's very nice to meet you, is this your girlfriend?" Estelle smiled before asking about the other bird with the one bird.
"No, this is my wife." The male bird smiled.
"Oooh~" the kids smirked, both in a good way and teasing way.
"It sure has been a while since we've seen you." Mrs. Potts said to the male bird.
The male bird smiled to Mrs. Potts.
"Another story?" Akito asked hopefully.
"Indeed." Mrs. Potts smiled.
"Oh, boy!" Akito beamed.
"We should do one more story." Estelle agreed.
"Who should start?" Vincent asked.
"I'll start this one." Atticus said as he came in.
"Dad?/Uncle Atticus?" the kids asked.
"I couldn't help but overhear." Atticus smiled as he came into the room.
"You used super-hearing, didn't you?" Akito asked.
"No...?" Atticus looked away shyly.
"Daddy..." Estelle folded her arms with a smirk with her twin brother who had the same gesture and face.
"Well, maybe a little." Atticus then chuckled.
"For shame." The Fudo twins said playfully.
Atticus smiled sheepishly.
"Oh, Atticus." Mrs. Potts smiled and shook her head.
"Well, come on, tell us the story, Dad." Estelle said.
"All right, mind if I sit?" Atticus replied.
"Not at all, take a seat, Detective Fudo." Mrs. Potts smiled, calling him by his work title since he was all grown up now.
Atticus soon came in and sat down. "Well, it was in the middle of winter just like any other day..." he then began.
