"Tell me that wasn't the beast?" Madison asked as she heard another growl.

"I don't think so. I think that came from your stomach." said Belle. Madison felt her stomach growling and it felt upset.

"I don't think I should stay in this room forever, Belle. I'm getting hungry."

"I am getting a little hungry myself."

"Perhaps I'll ring for Mrs. Potts and maybe I'll sing an aria for you two while we wait." said Wardrobe. She was about to start singing but Belle and Madison stopped her.

"Oh no, that's alright. Madison and I will go by ourselves." said Belle.

"But what about the master? He's really not going to like this." said Wardrobe.

"We know." said Madison.

Belle slowly opened the door and looked at the hallway, seeing no one is around.

"All clear. Let's go." Belle whispered. The girls got out of their rooms and slowly walked down the hall. Madison walked close with her but heard giggling somewhere. Madison tried not to smile when she knows that it was Lumiere flirting with the feather duster name, Fifi.

"Oh no!"

"Oh yes!"

"Oh no!"

"Oh, yes, yes, yes!"

"I've been burnt by you before." Fifi giggled.

Madison still trying not laugh but as she and Belle turned to a different direction, Madison could hear Lumiere saying, "Zut alors! They have emerged!"

The girls walked slowly down the stairs, looking around at the main hall.

"Wonder which way is the kitchen?" Madison wondered.

"I think it's this way." said Belle as she pointed to a direction, "The castle maybe new to us to explore but I'm sure we'll find it."

"And one thing when we find the kitchen is to follow the scent of food." said Madison and followed Belle.

In the hallway, Madison slowly walked with Belle, looking at the suit of armors at the walls. She felt like they were watching them like in that one scene but as she turned her head, the helmets squeaked as they looked away.

"Okay. This is getting really freaky." she said to herself until she smelled something, "Belle, you smell that?"

Belle sniffed the air and smiled. "I smell food."

"Then we must be getting close. Come on." Madison grabbed her hand and the two rushed.

They quickly rushed until they stopped at a certain door. The smell has gotten strong and saw a light through the crack of the door. Madison heard a noise coming from it and listen.

"Well, if you ask me, they were being stubborn. After all, the master did say 'please'." a voice spoke.

Madison knew that was Cogsworth and looked at Belle.

"This is it." she whispered.

Belle starts opening the door and Madison heard Mrs. Potts said, "But if the master doesn't learn to control that temper, he'll never break the-"

"Splendid to see you out and about, mademoiselles. I am Cogsworth, head of the household." said Cogsworth.

Just as the clock was about to take Belle's hand, he was quickly cut off by Lumiere, who grabbed both Belle's and Madison's hands.

"This is Lumiere." said Cogsworth as he looks displeased.

"En chante, cheries." the candelabrum spoke and starts kissing their hands. Madison blushed and giggled a little while Cogsworth tried to stop him.

"If there's…stop that…anything that we…please… can do to make you two stay more comfortable. OW!" Cogsworth yelped as his hand was burnt from Lumiere.

"We are a little hungry." Belle answered and Madison nod her head.

"You are?" Mrs. Potts spoke with excitement, "Hear that? They're hungry. Stoke the fire, break out the silver, wake China."

"Remember what the master said." Cogsworth whispered.

"Oh, pish tosh. We're not going to let the poor dears go hungry." said Mrs. Potts as she had all the plates set in a cart.

"Oh, all right. Glasses of water, crusts of bread, and then..."

"Cogsworth, I am surprised at you. They're not our prisoners. They're our guests." said Lumiere, "We must make them feel welcome here. Right this way, mademoiselles." he spoke again as he led the girls to the door.

"Well keep it down. If the master finds out about this, it will be our necks!" said Cogsworth as he looked worried.

""Of course, of course. But what is dinner without a little music?" Lumiere started out the swinging door. He lets it close, but it hit Cogsworth and sends him across the room to land in a pan filled with batter.

"Music?!" he panicked.

Madison smiled as she knew this part as they came into the dining room, Lumiere stood in the middle of the table and a light hit him like a spotlight.

"Ma chere, mademoiselles. It is with deepest pride and greatest pleasure that I welcome you two tonight. And now, we invite you two to relax. Let us pull up some chairs, as the dining room proudly presents...your dinner." Lumiere introduce to several trays of food that brought the girls with bright smiles and starts hearing him sing.

Lumiere: Be our guests, be our guests

Put our service to the test,

tie your napkins 'round your necks, cheries

and we provide the rest!

Soup du jour, hot hors d'oeuvres

Why we only live to serve

Try the grey stuff, it's delicious

Don't believe me? Ask the dishes!

They can sing, they can dance

After all, miss, this is France!

And a dinner here is never second best!

Go on unfold your menus, take a glance and then you'll

Be our guests, be our guest, be our guests!

Beef ragout, cheese souffle,

Pie and pudding en flambe!

We'll prepare and serve with flair

A culinary cabaret!

You're alone and you're scared,

But the banquet's all prepared!

No one's gloomy or complaining,

While the flatware's entertaining!

We tell jokes, I do tricks

With my fellow candlesticks

Mugs: And it's all in perfect taste

That you can bet!

All: Come on and lift your glasses,

You've won your own free passes

To be our guests!

Lumiere: If you're stressed, it's fine dining we suggest!

All: Be our guests, be our guests, be our guests!

As they all danced and singed, they left except Cogsworth, who looks scared, then

begins to inch away but Lumiere enters and holds him there.

Lumiere: Life is so unnerving,

For a servant who's not serving!

He's not whole without a soul to wait upon

"Get off!" Cogsworth whispered as he blows the flames from Lumiere that were close to him until the saltshakers were shaking the salt out like it was snow.

Lumiere: Ah, those good old days when we were useful

Suddenly those good old days are gone

Ten years we've been rusting

Needing so much more than dusting

Needing exercise, a chance to use our skills!

Lumiere dusts the salt of the head of Cogsworth, who tries to escape. He trips and falls into the gelatin mold.

Lumiere: Most days just lay around the castle,

Flabby fat and lazy

You walked in, and oops-a-daisie! (jumps onto a spoon and catapults Cogsworth out of the mold)

Mrs. Potts: It's a guest, it's a guest!

Sakes alive, well I'll be blessed!

Wine's been poured and thank the Lord

I've had the napkins freshly pressed!

With dessert, they'll want tea,

And my dear, that's fine with me!

While the cups do their soft shoeing,

I'll be bubbling, I'll be brewing!

I'll get warm, piping hot

Heaven's sake, is that a spot?

Clean it up, we want the company impressed!

We've got a lot to do-

Is it one lump or two?

For you two our guests!

All: They're our guests!

Mrs. Potts: They're our guests!

All: They're our guests!

Be our guests! Be our guests!

Our command is your requests!

It's ten years since we had anybody here

And we're obsessed!

With your meals, with your ease,

Yes indeed, we aim to please

While the candlelight's still glowing

Let us help you, we'll keep going

Lumiere and Everyone: Course, by course

One by one

'Til you shout "Enough, I'm done!"

Then we'll sing you off to sleep as you digest

Tonight, you'll prop your feet up,

But for let's eat up

Be our guests! Be our guests! Be our guests! Please Be our guests!

As the musical finale was over, Belle and Madison applauded to the performance.

"Bravo! That was wonderful!" said Belle.

"Indeed. A marvelous performance!" said Madison.

"Thank you, thank you, mademoiselles. Yes, good show, wasn't it everyone." said Cogsworth and looked at his face, "Oh, my goodness, will you two look at the time? Now, it's off to bed, off to bed!"

"Oh, we couldn't possibly go to bed now." said Belle, "It's our first time in an enchanted castle."

"Enchanted? Who said anything about the castle being enchanted?" Cogsworth spoke as he was trying to cover it up, just as a fork runs past and looks at Lumiere, "It was you, wasn't it?"

"We, um... figured it out for ourselves." said Belle.

"Indeed, we did." said Madison.

Cogsworth and Lumiere have been fighting, they both look at them and stopped. Cogsworth dusts himself off and Lumiere fixes his wax nose.

"We like to have a look around, if that all right." said Belle.

"Oh! Would you two like a tour?" Lumiere asked with excitement.

"Wait a second, wait a second. I'm not sure that's such a good idea. We can't let them go poking around in certain places, if you know what I mean." said Cogsworth.

"But we do want to get use to this castle. Since we're new here and don't know any paths and turns in this place." said Madison.

"She's right." said Belle as she pokes the clocks belly, "Perhaps you could take us. I'm sure you know everything there is to know about the castle."

Cogsworth becomes flattered. "Well, actually, ah yes, I do!"

Cogsworth, Lumiere, Belle and Madison walked down the hall along with a walking and barking footstool which was Sultan.
