A familiar candelabra came running and stopped near the fireplace. It was Lumiere, in his cursed form, as he and Cresent were looking for someone. Lumiere looked around and decides to go to the window.

"Where could he be?" Chip asked, in his teacup form, as hopped by along with Rillie. The rest, in their object forms, and their Pokemon came along. "Goodness knows. We've searched every last corner." said Mrs. Potts. "Poultea." said Tia. "I'm beginning to think he's not in the castle at all." said Cogsworth and Marilda clicked.

Lumiere and Cresent looked through the window and saw a familiar beast with his Absol, walking on the snowy ground. "Voila! There he is!" "Chandelure!" Lumiere and Cresent spoke with excitement. "Wonderful!" said Mrs. Potts with glee. "No time to waste. We must find a way to get them together." said Cogsworth. "Let's go! Love will not wait." said Lumiere as he and the others rush past Cogsworth and Marilda.

"Azu azu!" Rillie jumped with excitement. "You really think she's the one? Will she break the spell?" Chip asked as he was hopping along with Lumiere. The candelabra smiled and spoke, "I knew it from the moment I set eyes on her. And her Eevee looked perfect for Acel." "Chandelure!" Cresent said with agreement.

"If anyone can reach the master and Acel, Belle and Petite can. Such a kind soul they are." said Mrs. Potts. "Poultea." said Tia. "And their looks don't hurt either." said Lumiere. Chip giggled as everyone went down the hall. "Wait for me!" said Cogsworth as he and Marilda were catching up with them.

Up by the stairs, Belle and Petite were wandering around the castle until the objects and their Pokemon rushed and stopped in front of them. "Hi, Belle. Hi, Petite." said Chip. "Azu!" "Eevee." said Petite as she greeted back to them. "Oh, hello. Chip, do you know what day it is?" Belle asked with a smile on her face.

The objects and Pokemon looked at each other and shrugged. Chip spoke, "Well, it's not Tuesday…" "No, silly. Today is December 24. The day before Christmas." said Belle and Petite jumped with excitement. "And what a beautiful day it is. A wonderful day for a morning stroll." said Lumiere as he tugged onto Belle's skirt.

Belle smirked, wondering what they were planning but decided to go along. "Yes, yes. Nothing starts the day like a brisk walk around the grounds." said Mrs. Potts. "Yeah! Or you could go ice-skating." said Chip as slid around like he was skating. "Yes, fresh air, exercise." said Cogsworth as he was about to touch his wooden feet but back creaks. Marilda looked at him in concern. "In moderation, of course." he said.

A mounted coat rack was sleeping with a pair of ice skates, hanging by his nose. But woke up as Belle was picking them up. "Come along, Belle dear. The great outdoors awaits." said Mrs. Potts. "Yeah, let's go!" said Chip with excitement.

The walking coat rack helped Belle putting on a coat for Belle and a warm cape for Petite. "Merci, monsieur." "Eevee." they thanked and the coat rack bow gracefully to them.

Belle opens the door and saw Beast and Acel outside, walking on the ice. "Oh. Good morning." said Belle. The Beast stopped and looked at her until he and his Absol accidently slipped on the ice and fell. The Beast grunt and growled as he and his Absol was about to get up. "Eevee!" Petite carefully walked on the ice and stood beside Acel, concerning if he was okay. "Sol..." said Acel as meant that he was fine. "Oh, dear! Are you all right?" Belle asked as she stood beside the Beast.

Beast carefully got up and looked at her. "Uh… I fell and I landed on my… on, on the ice." he answered. "It's pretty slippery." "Yes... it's slippery." "This is a perfect day for skating. Come on." said Belle as she put on her ice skates. She got up and slid around, doing a jump. "Come on." she smiled. The Beast looked at her but wasn't so sure if he could and looked at the others.

"Go on, Master. It might be fun." said Lumiere. "Go for it!" "Azu!" Chip and Rillie shouted with excitement. Beast looked at Belle and decides to skate with her. "Eevee eevee?" said Petite as she looked at Acel, asking him to skate with him. "Sol... Absol absol." he answered as he wasn't so sure if he could. "Eevee eevee." Petite gave him a little push on the ice and then starts showing him how to skate.

The objects and the Pokemon came rushing to the bridge, laughing with excitement. "Ooo-ooo la-la." said Lumiere as he and others looked down to watch Belle, Beast, and their Pokemon. "Come on. Why don't you try it like this?" said Belle and starts skating slowly, "One, two, three. One, two, three. See? It's easy."

Beast rubbed the back of his head and decides to give it a go but trying not to fall. "One, two… three. On-ne, two, three."

Acel did the same as his master done. Skating with his paws and not using his claws. "Eevee!" Petite jumped as she saying that he's doing good. Acel grew a small smile on his face and Petite joins with him.

The objects and Pokemon smiled as they watched. "Yes. I think this may work." said Mrs. Potts. "Poultea." Tia agrees.
