Chapter 13: Beauty and the Beast
That night Misty had a dream.
"Little town, it's a quiet village. Everyday like the one before; little town full of little people, waking up to say." Misty sang.
"Bonjour, bonjour, bonjour, bonjour, bonjour!" Various people sang.
"There goes the baker with his tray like always; the same old bread and rolls to sell. Every morning just same since the morning that we came to this poor provincial town." Misty sang.
"Good morning Belle." The baker said.
"Morning Misour." Misty said.
"Where are you off to?"
"The book shop. I just finished the most wonderful story; about a beanstalk, an ogre, and..."
"That's nice, Marie, the baguettes hurry up!"
"Look there she goes that girl is strange no question dazed and distracted can't you tell?" A high-class women said.
"Never part of any crowd." A well dressed woman said.
"Plus her head's upon some cloud." The barber said.
"No denying she's a funny girl that Belle." The townsfolk sang.
"Bonjour!" The wagon guy said.
"Good day!" A woman answered.
"How is your fam'ly?" The wagon guy asked.
"Bonjour!" A foreign woman said.
"Good day!" The storekeeper said.
How is your wife?" The foreign woman asked.
"I need six eggs!" A very stressed out mother demanded.
"That's too expensive!" A man cried out.
"There must be more than this provincial life!" Misty sang.
"Ah, Belle." The bookkeeper greeted.
"Good morning, sir. I've come to return the book I borrowed." Misty said.
"Finished already?" The bookkeeper asked.
"Oh, I couldn't put it down. Have you got anything new?" Misty asked nosing around.
"Not since yesterday." The bookkeeper laughed.
"That's all right. I'll borrow . . . . this one!" Misty said picking out a book.
"That one? But you've read it twice!" The bookkeeper said surprised.
"Well, it's my favorite! Far off places, daring swordfights, magic spells, a prince in disguise –"Misty said excited.
"If you like it all that much, it's yours." The bookkeeper offered.
"But sir!" Misty said.
"I insist." The bookkeeper said handing the book to her.
"Thank you. Thank you very much!" Misty said leaving the bookshop.
"Look there she goes that girl is so peculiar; I wonder if she's feeling well. With a dreamy, far-off look And her nose stuck in a book. What a puzzle to the rest of us is Belle" A group of men sang.
"Oh, isn't this amazing? It's my fav'rite part because --- you'll see Here's where she meets Prince Charming But she won't discover that it's him 'til chapter three!" Misty sang to some sheep.
"Now it's no wonder that her name means "Beauty" Her looks have got no parallel." A wealthy woman sang.
"But behind that fair façade I'm afraid she's rather odd Very diff'rent from the rest of us." The shopkeeper sang.
"She's nothing like the rest of us
Yes, diff'rent from the rest of us is Belle!" Townsfolk sang out.
"Wow! You didn't miss a shot, Gaston! You're the greatest hunter in the whole world!" Kitty said.
"I know." Bryan agreed.
"No beast alive stands a chance against you. --- And no girl, for that matter." Kitty said smirking.
"It's true, LeFou. And I've got my sights set on that one." Bryan said pointing to Misty who was buying something.
"The inventor's daughter?" Kitty asked.
"She's the one - the lucky girl I'm going to marry." Bryan said.
"But she's –"Kitty said getting cut off.
"The most beautiful girl in town." Bryan said forcing his point.
"I know, but –"Kitty tried to say something but got cut off.
"That makes her the best. And don't I deserve the best?" Bryan asked in a very arrogant tone.
"Of course you do!" Kitty agreed.
"Right from the moment when I met her, saw her, I said she's gorgeous and I fell. Here in town there's only she; Who is beautiful as me. So I'm making plans to woo and marry Belle." Bryan sang.
"Look there he goes; isn't he dreamy? Monsieur Gaston, oh he's so cute! Be still my heart I'm hardly breathing
He's such a tall, dark, strong and handsome prince!" The three Gaston groupies sang to each other.
"Bonjour!" A woman said.
"Pardon." Bryan said.
"Good day." A man said.
"Mais oui!" A second woman said.
"You call this bacon?" A third woman said.
"What lovely grapes!" A fourth woman said.
"Some cheese." A man said.
"Ten yards!" A fifth woman yelled.
"One pound." A man said.
"'Scuse me!" Bryan yelled.
"I'll get the knife." A cheese merchant said.
"Please let me through!" Bryan said pushing through the crowd.
"This bread –"A sixth woman said.
"Those fish-"A second man yelled.
"It's stale!" The sixth woman yelled.
"They smell!" The second man yelled.
"Madame's mistaken." A third man said.
"Well, maybe so." Some women sang.
"Good morning! Oh, good morning!" Various townsfolk sang out.
"There must be more than this provincial life!" Misty sang.
"Just watch, I'm going to make Belle my wife!" Bryan sang.
"Look there she goes the girl is strange but special. A most peculiar mademoiselle." Townsfolk sang.
"It's a pity and a sin," Various women sang.
"She doesn't quite fit in," Various men sang.
"'Cause she really is a funny girl, a beauty but a funny girl. She really is a funny girl, That Belle!" Townsfolk sang out.
"Why hello, Belle." Bryan said arrogantly.
"Bonjour Gaston." Misty said while Bryan took her book from her. "Gaston may I have my book please?"
"How can you read this? There's no pictures." Bryan said flipping through the book.
"Gaston, some people use their imagination." Misty said trying to snatch her book back.
"Belle, people are going to start talking. A woman shouldn't read, soon she starts getting ideas and thinking." Gaston said throwing her book in the mud.
"Gaston, you are positively primeval." Misty said picking up her book and wiping it off.
"Why thank you, Belle." Gaston said smirking.
Misty got a surprised look on her face.
In real life, Shayna woke to hear Misty talking to herself. She glanced over at her clock that read 7:30 AM.
"Great." She sighed." I'm up four hours then when I should be."
She got up, put on her robe, and went down stairs for some sustenance. When she reaches the floor near the kitchen to see Gambit sitting there drinking his coffee. She sits down next to him telling him why she's there.
"Are you serious?" He asked.
"Yup. She's up there singing and talking in her sleep." Shayna said smiling.
"What she talkin' 'bout?" He asked.
"She's singing Beauty and the Beast." She said.
"You kiddin'." Gambit said with a little shock in his voice.
"Nope." Shayna said.
In Misty's dream.........
"Ma chère Mademoiselle, it is with deepest pride and greatest pleasure that we welcome you tonight. And now we invite you to relax, let us pull up a chair as the dining room proudly presents -your dinner! Be our guest! Be our guest! Put our service to the test Tie your napkin 'round your neck, chèrie 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 menu
Take a glance and then you'll
Be our guest
Oui, our guest
Be our guest!" Bobby sang out.
"Beef ragout
Cheese souffle
Pie and pudding "en flambé" Bobby and the appearing chorus sang.
"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" Bobby sang.
"And it's all in perfect taste
that you can bet" Kurt sang leading the German beer mugs.
"Come on and lift your glass
You've won your own free pass
To be out guest" Bobby and the chorus sang.
"If you're stressed
It's fine dining we suggest." Bobby said.
"Be our guest be our guest be our guest!" Bobby and the chorus sang.
"Life is so unnerving
For a servant who's not serving
He's not whole without a soul to wait upon
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!
Most days we just lay around the castle
Flabby, fat and lazy
You walked in and oops-a-daisy!" Bobby said.
"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, she'll want tea
And my dear that's fine with me
While the cups do their soft-shoein'
I'll be bubbling, I'll be brewing
I'll get warm, piping hot
Heaven's sakes! 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, our guest!" Rhane sang.
"She's our guest!" The chorus sang.
"She's our guest!" Rhane said.
"She's our guest!
Be our guest!" The chorus sang.
"Be our guest! Be our guest!
Our command is your request
It's been years since we've had anybody here
And we're obsessed
With your meal, with your ease
Yes, indeed, we aim to please
While the candlelight's still glowing
Let us help you, We'll keep going" The chorus sang.
"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 now, let's eat up
Be our guest!
Be our guest!
Be our guest!
Please, be our guest!" Bobby and the chorus sang.
"Bravo!" Misty said clapping.
Back to reality.........
Shayna and Gambit are on the couch watching Saturday morning cartoons on Nickelodeon. Rugrats was on.
"I love this one!" Shayna yelled.
"Gambit don' watch cartoons." He said.
"Aw c'mon Gambit. They're funny." Shayna said pulling Gambit back onto the couch but Gambit resisted.
"Dis is jus' an 'tempt t' get Gambit back on de couch wit' you." He said.
"Yeah you're right." She said giving another tug that pulled him down.
Back with Misty.........
"OH MY GOD!!!" She screamed waking up.
She got out of bed and ran downstairs. She didn't find Shayna anywhere.
"Where could she be? This is a mansion there's only......... so many places she could be." Misty said to herself.
She ran into the living room and saw Shayna.
"Shayna! Thank God! I had the most weird dream ever!" She screamed.
"I know. I heard everything." Shayna said.
"Well, Gambit gon' go take a shower." He said leaving.
"Bye Remy!" Shayna screamed.
"No, you didn't hear this part. Okay I was Belle and........." Misty was cut off.
"Who was I?" Shayna asked.
"You were the green Gaston groupie and the Feather duster." Misty said.
"Yeah man!!!" Shayna yelled.
"Okay like I said. I was Belle and I had to kiss ... kiss ... kiss ..." She said.
"Kiss? Kiss what already?!" Shayna asked.
"Jesse!!! I had to kiss Jesse!!!!" She spilled.
"Well, not that bad. You could have had worse. I mean really worse. Considering the people we live with Jesse isn't that bad." Shayna said.
"I guess so, but it was weird." Misty said.
"It's funny that's what it is." Shayna said.
"Shut up! No one hears about this okay?" Misty said.
"Okay." Shayna agreed.
"As in this conversation never happened." Misty said getting up.
"Exactly." Shayna, also getting up, agreed once again.
They both went upstairs.
A/N: I'm sad to say that this is the end of this story. But there is a sequel that I am working on so expect a sequel!
