Chapter 4
Something tickled Andros' nose, he groaned hearing some familiar voices.
"Hey, he's waking!"
"Shh! You're going to wake him up!"
"But he's been sleeping long enough!"
Andros opened his eyes. The first thing he saw was a feather duster leaning over him. "Whaa?" Andros shot up surprising the others around him. He felt weird and he couldn't move his feet. Andros looked down. He didn't have any feet! His hand shot only to find he didn't have hands anymore either! or that his face felt like wax. "What's going on?" Andros asked "and who are you?"
"Andros! Can't you tell its us?" a small clock asked.
"No."
"Its me! TJ!" the clock said.
"I'm Cassie!" said a white, pink, and purple teapot.
"I'm Carlos!" a tiny little teacup that had pink and purple on it like Cassie.
"And I'm Ashley!" said the feather duster.
"How am I supposed to know that this isn't one of Astronema's tricks?" Andros asked looking at all of them.
"I taught you how to play pool remember?" Ashley asked.
"And how you and I went to KO-35 when Carlos was stung by that barrilian bug? Inquired TJ.
"Yeah, I left the Astro Rangers for a while when I accidentally hurt Cassie in battle!" Carlos exclaimed.
"And remember when Ashley and I had that big fight over cleaning the mega ship?" Cassie said.
"Alright, I believe you, Andros said, but what have I changed into?" the others pulled over a mirror for him to see. "I'm a candle holder!" (A/n if you've all seen B&B you know what Andros looks like. Like Lumiere) Andros looked at his teammates "So would anyone like to fill me in?"
TJ started "Zhane is the beast that took us and Astronema put the spell of change on us. Someone has to break the spell before his birthday and the rose that marks his time of being a beast loses all its petals." "But the spell isn't just for anyone to break though, Ashley interjected, he has to learn to love again and earn their love in return. If not we will remain like this, she gestured to the others, and Zhane a beast, forever."
"And the only person left is Karone!" Andros exclaimed.
"But we can't leave nor can we tell her about the way to free him. Carlos said.
"Well, what are we supposed to do now?" questioned Andros.
Cassie answered him "we have to serve Zhane as his servants, call him master, and supply his every whim."
Andros groaned. "What has the spell done to Zhane?" he asked afraid to know.
"We-ell, Ashley said ruffling her feathered bottom, he's mean, selfish, spoiled, unkind, and very un-Zhane."
"Andros, there's something else you're not going to like at all." TJ said putting his little brass hand on Andros' shiny gold shoulder. "We can't under any circumstances let Karone know that it's us."
Andros looked at his friends "So in other words when we're with or around Karone we can't act ourselves."
"Right." Cassie said, "we can't even so anything that would give ourselves away or we'll be in big trouble."
Carlos also added "that means you can't act like her big brother. Got it?"
Andros scowled at that last comment. "Alright." He said grudgingly at last.
"Good. Now we need to think of name's for us if we're to 'hide' from Karone." Ashley said.
"Alright, I'll be…Mrs. Potts." Cassie decided.
Carlos snickered. "Hey, do you have a better name Carlos?" Ashley shot back.
"N-no, oh, alright I'll be Chip." Carlos chose with a blush.
"I'll be Cogsworth." TJ said, "Since I'm obviously a clock."
Andros shook his head "I can't think of a name to go with this stupid form."
Ashley thought, "hmmmm…I know! How about Lumiere?"
"Lumiere?" Andros tried the unfamiliar word.
"Yeah! Great name Ash!" Cassie said. "It means to illuminate or give light." She explained to Andros.
"Oh, ok." Andros said relieved that it didn't mean anything stupid.
"Mrs. Potts!" came the roar from somewhere in the castle keep.
"There's Zhane calling." Sighed Cassie. "I'd better go see to him. Come along Chip." She said with a grin to Carlos.
He followed behind her as they disappeared into the halls shadows.
"Now, I'd better get to my chore's." Ashley said sighing. She went off twirling as she went dusting the floor and everything in sight.
TJ and Andros looked at each other "well, we'd better go to the main door so that we know when Karone gets here." TJ said.
Andros extended his arm to let TJ go first. "Lead the way, Cogsworth."
