The moon was shining down on the dungeon window. Belle was in a cell wrapped up in a brown, worn out blanket on her shoulders and her head was down. The Beast was in the cell, looking at her with angered eyes.

"You said you'd never leave." he growled. Belle didn't looked at him but answered, "I wasn't trying to leave. I just wanted to make you happy." "You broke your word. And for that, you will rot in this dungeon forever." he said and left the dungeon as he slammed the door. "I should have known you'd never be anything but a beast." she said as she felt her hope was gone and broken.

The bell chimes in the main hall as the servants and Pokemon were looking at the clock. "Midnight. Merry Christmas, Cogsworth." said Lumiere. "If only it were." said Cogsworth as everyone walked away and Marilda didn't speak with a click. Petite walked with her head down, feeling heartbroken that her friend is in the dungeon. Acel watched her with sadness, knowing that the Christmas was a bad idea. Without noticing, Saber was hiding as he watch. He felt something inside him that he never felt before. Guilt.

In the parlor, Beast looked out from the window, looking at the moon with sadness in his eyes. "Oh, my dear old friend, I told you not to feel for her. Things were so much simpler before she came along, before we dared to… hope." said Forte. "I thought she was the one." the Beast said to himself and not noticing that Forte was smiling.

At the dungeon, the small doorway was opened by Lumiere and the others, seeing Belle unhappy. "Belle?" Chip asked. "Allo, cherie." said Lumiere. "There she is," Mrs. Potts cooed. "Eevee!" Petite quickly got in and jumped into Belle's arm. "Eevee vee..." she sobbed as she was apologizing.

Everyone got in along with the Pokemon as they tried to get in, including Acel, they all looked at her with sadness. "Merry Christmas." said Lumiere sadly. "Doesn't look so special to me." said Chip. "Azu..." Rillie said with sadness. "Oh, Chip, I'm sorry. Nothing's changed." said Belle.

"I told you nothing would change." Angelique spoke, "I told you the master would not allow this. I told you Christmas was a hopeless folly!" Belle felt stung and looked away. "But… I was wrong." said the angel. "FurFrou." Filicia said with her head down and Belle looked at Angelique.

Angelique: When I felt lost and lonely

Not a dream in my head

Your words lifted my spirits high

Remember what you said

As long as there's Christmas

I truly believe

Belle and Angelique: That hope is the greatest of the gifts we'll receive

As long as our guiding star shines above

Angelique: There'll always be Christmas

Belle: So there always will be a time

When the world is filled with peace and love.

Everyone gathered around her as she was feeling better and Petite smiled to her. Acel, looked at the Eevee, knowing that she's happy now. "FurFrou." Filicia spoke as she stood beside him. She lay down a Poinsettia flower and shoved it gently to him. "FurFrou Frou." she said to him.

Acel nod his head and picked up the flower with his mouth. "Sol." Acel spoke behind Petite. "Eevee?" Petite asked and Acel placed the Poinsettia flower on her. "Absol Sol." said Acel as he meant Merry Christmas to her. Petite looked at the flower and smiled. "Eevee." she thanked him and gave him a nuzzle, which made him blush.

Suddenly, the small doorway opened and everybody and Pokemon looked and saw Saber coming in. "Absol!" Acel growled at him but Saber looked at him with a sad frown and walked slowly towards Belle. "Sol..." "Eevee." Petite stopped him for a moment looked back at the Sableye.

Saber looked at Belle and looked down at the ground. "Sableye..." he spoke with sadness. Belle looked at him and placed her hand on his head with a smile. "All is forgiven." she spoke and Saber let out a small smile.
