"Absolutely not!" said Cogsworth and Marilda clicks and shook her head. "Why not?" the glasses whined. "Out of the question. Not a chance. Dream on. An impossibility. Forget it." he said and the glasses whined again.
Belle and Petite were in the kitchen with him, the objects and their Pokemon, discussing while others were cleaning and mopping the floors. Cogsworth was looking at the mug as it was slouching. "Suck in that gut." he said and the mug stood up straight.
"Mon ami. Get with the spirit. Unwind." said Lumiere as he pushed his candle-hand behind the clock that cause his mustache-clock hand to spin around his face. "Come on, love. Have a heart." said Mrs. Potts as the brushes were cleaning her up. "Poultea." Tia nodded.
"Yeah. Come on." said the glasses. Cogsworth stopped the hand from spinning. "No, no, and… let me think…" he said as walked by. Lumiere and glasses waited for an answered. "No!" he shouted and the all sighed.
"This is where I put my foot down." he said as was about to stomp until his foot stuck in a bowl of polish and tries to get it out. "The master has forbidden Christmas!" he said until he slipped and the others laugh while Marilda helped him up. "Forbid Christmas? No one can forbid Christmas." said Belle as she was cleaning the tray. "Eevee." Petite agreed.
"He doesn't wish to be reminded of his past, and Christmas is a most painful reminder of it. I, for one, do not wish to torture him." he said. Marilda nods her head. "I, for one, think a little Christmas cheer would do him some good." said Belle. Petite nod her head and the glasses agreed.
Outside of the kitchen room, Fife and Karel were spying on them as they were talking about Christmas.
"The girl is right. It is up to us to do something." said Lumiere. "Chandelure." Cresent agrees. "It's not our place to get involved. No, no, no, no!" said Cogsworth as he pushed Lumiere's nose, "We just can't mind our own beeswax, can we? Just have to stick our wick where it doesn't belong."
Cogsworth turned away from Lumiere but the candelabra let out a sly smirk and lit his candle behind the clock. Cogsworth felt the candle burning behind him and scream. Jumping into the air and fell into a tub of soap water. Marilda clicks as she saw Cogsworth head popped out, spiting the water out of his mouth.
Lumiere, Cresent, and the glasses looked down and laugh while Cogsworth glared at them. "Oh, humiliating."
"Pish posh. I think it's a wonderful idea." said Mrs. Potts. "Poultea tea!" said Tia. "But the master doesn't want it. His castle, his rules." said Cogsworth as he got himself out. "It's not fair." said Chip. "Azu." Rillie pouted. "He's right. It's not fair." the glasses whined. "Don't whine, glasses." said Cogsworth as he crossed his arms. "Sorry." they replied.
"Look at us, squabbling and bickering. Breaks my heart to see it, it does. And we used to be at our very best at Christmas. Why, we used to prepare a feast for the entire castle." said Mrs. Potts as she remember the Christmas moment. Cogsworth turned away as he doesn't want to listen.
"Ah, you could have some stuffed turkey." said Lumiere as he was trying to talk Cogsworth into it. "Cranberry sauce." said Belle. "Shortbread cookies." said Chip. "Mince pies." "Potatoes and gravy." "Chandelure!" Cresent spoke. "Of course, the special Christmas Pokemon food and Christmas pudding!" said Lumiere.
Cogsworth looked at him. "Uh, pudding? With, with custard?" he spoke as the pudding got his attention. "What do you think we are, barbarians? Of course with custard. And raisins and brandy and all those things you like." said Lumiere. Cogsworth slurping himself as he thinks of the pudding but snapped back into reality, murmuring. "Ohh. Oh, l… All right." he moaned.
"Yes!" Chip jumped with a smile on his face. "Azu!" Rillie jumps along with him. Marilda clicks and shrugged, meaning that it'll worth a try. "But if the master finds out about this, he will be furious, so, everybody, keep quiet." said Cogsworth. "Come on! What are we waiting for, Christmas?" said Lumiere.
"Good heavens, we don't have much time. It's Christmas Eve!" said Cogsworth. "Tia and I will see to the dinner." said Mrs. Potts. "Poultea!" "I'll get some mistletoe." said Lumiere as he held a leaf with a whine glass in his arm. "We need to brighten this place up." said Belle. "Eevee." Petite agreed cheerfully. "Belle, I know someone who will help." said Lumiere as he jumped off the counter. "Chandelure!" Cresent said as he followed his trainer.
"Now, now, wait for me. I'm in charge here. I'm in charge." said Cogsworth as he tries to gesture everyone but he looked around and saw that everyone was gone except Marilda is with him. "Come on Marilda. Wait for me!" said Cogsworth as he and Marilda left the kitchen room.
