Belle still cried on the bed while Madison still trying to comfort her.
"Don't worry Belle, I'm... sure things will be alright. Maybe... I'll find a way to escape the castle and find help." said Madison as she was about to get up, but Belle stopped her.
"No, Madison, don't go. Just stay with me, okay? I don't want that beast catch and don't want him to do something to you. And I don't want you go out with that ankle." she said.
Madison nods her head knowing that she does have a point. With that ankle she can't go anywhere.
"You do have a point, Belle." said Madison and Belle smiled a little as she wiped away her tear.
Suddenly, they heard a knock on the door and Madison knew who was behind the door.
"Who is it?" Belle asked.
"Mrs. Potts, dear." a voice answered.
Belle helps Madison up as she walked over to the door, opening it & found there's no one there.
"Um... Belle..." Madison spoke as she pointed down.
Belle looks down and gasped in shock at what she saw. To her and Madison's surprise was a living, talking teapot and other objects that move. The teapot came in with a small teapot and looked at Belle.
"I thought you might like a spot of tea and brought something for your ankle." the teapot who was Mrs. Potts spoke as she looked at the girls.
Belle looked freaked out and move back away from Mrs. Potts.
"You're... You're a..." Belle moved back more until she bumped into a wardrobe. With the sound of an 'oof', Belle turned and saw the wardrobe alive.
"Oh! Careful!" the wardrobe chuckled.
Belle was startled from the Wardrobe and moved back away to the bed.
"This is impossible." she said.
Madison was amazed to meet the objects in person but couldn't find the right words to speak. Wardrobe leaned on the bed, popping the other end and Belle into the air.
"I know it is, but here we are!" she said.
"I told you they were pretty, Mama. Didn't I?" the teacup spoke as he looked at his mother.
"All right, now, Chip. That'll do." said Mrs. Potts as she pours the tea from her spout and the sugar and cream some in. "Slowly, now. Don't spill!" she said as Chip overs over to Belle.
"Thank you." said Belle.
Madison smiled as she watched the teacup hop towards her friend but what got her attention was a large bowl with a wet rag.
"Something for your ankle, love." said Mrs. Potts as she looked at her.
"Thank you." she replied. Madison picked up the rag out of the bowl and ringed it out. Feeling how cold it is from the water and gently place it on her foot.
Belle starts taking a sip from the cup until she heard Chip spoke.
"Wanna see me do a trick?" he asked as Belle looked at him. He began to take a deep breath and the tea inside began to bubble which made Madison giggled.
"Chip!" Mrs. Potts said admonishingly.
"Oops, sorry." said Chip as he laughed.
"It's okay, Mrs. Potts. I'm sure his trick is very good." said Madison as she giggled. Chip smiled at her.
"That was a very brave thing you two have done, dears." said Mrs. Potts.
"We all think so." said Wardrobe.
"But I lost my father...my dreams...everything." said Belle as she looked sad.
"I've lost my freedom since I bumped into Belle and stumbled upon this castle. But I never asked to be trapped here like a prisoner." said Madison.
"Cheer up, my dears. It'll turn out all right in the end. You'll see." said Mrs. Potts.
Madison and Belle smiled to her, knowing how kind and motherly she is.
"Oops! Look at me, jabbering on, when there's a supper to get on the table. Chip!" she hollered. Chip hopped out of Belle's hand and went off to catch up with his mother.
"Bye!" he hollered, and Madison smiled and waved a little to him.
"Well now, what shall we dress you two in for dinner? Ooh, let's see what I got in my drawers!" Wardrobe flings the doors open and a couple of moths flew out. She closes the doors again quickly. "Oh! How embarrassing..." she chuckled nervously, even Madison tried not to laugh at that.
Wardrobe opened her doors again and brought out a pink and blue dresses.
"Ah, here we are! You two will look ravishing in these!" she said. Madison looked at how beautiful the blue dress looked. Why it even goes with her necklace but heard Belle spoke.
"That's very kind of you. But... we're not going to dinner." said Belle as she pushed the dress away.
"Oh, but you two must!" said Wardrobe.
Before Belle could say anything else, a clock named Cogsworth came in the room. He cleared his throat and looked at the girls.
"Dinner is served." he announced.
"I'm sorry Cogsworth but the girls aren't going." said Wardrobe. Cogsworth frowned.
"What?! But they must! The Master insisted!"
"Listen here you! He maybe your master, but he's not ours!" said Madison.
"First he took my father away from me and now he expects us to have dinner with him. Has he gone insane?" said Belle.
"Young ladies, please, I-"
"We've told you once and we're not saying it again! We're not going down & that's final!" said Madison.
Cogsworth wanted to say something but then he sighs.
"As you wish." he said and left the room. Madison's eyes grew wide, and her legs started to shake a little as she realized...
"Oh! What did I just do? He's gonna tell the Beast about that." she panicked.
"It's okay, Madison. Take it easy there." said Belle as she gently had Madison to sit down on the bed to calm down and sat next to her, "It was amazing the way you spoke to him."
"You think so?" she asked as she looked at Belle, "I mean, people have their own rights more than being ordered around."
"True. I could've done the same thing for you and Papa." said Belle.
Madison smiled to her friend until she flinched as she, Belle, and Wardrobe heard banging sounds coming from the doors.
"Oh! It's him!" she exclaimed.
"It's okay. Let me handle this." said Belle and stared at the doors.
"I thought I told you two to come down to dinner!" the Beast yelled.
"We're not hungry!" Belle shouted.
"You two will come out or I'll...I'll break down the door!"
Madison felt her heart pounding but knew that the objects were trying to make the Beast as a gentleman in this part. She barley heard some voices that were with him on the other side of the doors until the Beast spoke.
"Will you two come down to dinner?" he grumbled.
"No!" the girls replied, and they heard a huff from him.
"It would give me great pleasure if you two would join me for dinner." said the Beast as he was trying to act like a gentleman.
"We rather not!" Madison replied.
"...please?" the Beast spoke again but sounded dejected.
"No, thank you!" Belle replied.
"You two can't stay in there forever!"
"Yes, we can!"
"Fine! Then go ahead and STARVE!" the Beast roared.
After the roar, Madison heard nothing but silent, but another door slammed, knowing that he was gone. She sighed and lied back down on the bed.
"I can't believe that just happen." she said.
"It's alright. He's gone now, Madison." said Belle.
"Yeah, but now he's gonna starve us."
"That's his problem. Not ours." said Belle and Madison smiled a little to her. "Don't worry about that, Madison. You should get some sleep."
"I'll try." said Madison and she starts closing her eyes. She starting to hear Wardrobe talking to Belle, trying to convince her that the Beast wasn't so bad but Belle refuse, saying that she and Madison don't want anything to do with him
Madison knew the part where the Beast was watching Belle from his magic mirror, knowing that it was hopeless for him to learn to be loved. As Madison tries to sleep, she heard a growling sound that it was not from the Beast.
