3. Episode 3: Beauty & the Beast

Note: I'm going to TRY to not make this one long like the other one. I'm still learning in this website. Also I'm going to skip a few songs like I did before. Mostly 'Gaston' and 'Human Again'.

The end of the day came and all were at the beach again. Ariel was hugging Eric. "Please be careful." He said.

Ariel replied. "I promise. I'll be back before you know it."

Marie was with the hatbox ghost and asked, "In this world she won't be gone long right?"

Hatbox said, "It'll be like 1 day passed by and you and Ariel won't change from world to world. Think of this like your time bubble is around you and protecting you from aging."

Marie nodded her head understanding. "Fair enough cause we might have a problem with Sleeping Beauty if we ever go there."

The couple parted and Ariel went to Marie. "So how are we going to the other worlds?"

Hatbox snapped his fingers and a buggy appeared. "Luckily it has room for 2." He said.

The girls got inside and Hatbox pulled out the ring of keys again. "So which world next?"

Both Ariel and Marie saw a key glowed. "How about that one? The one with the book on top?" asked Ariel.

Hatbox said, "Then Beauty and the Beast it is."

Marie smiled. "Awesome, we're going to France."

The bar lowered and just as they rose up into the sky, Ariel waved at Eric. Soon they disappeared and another rollercoaster ensues.

Intro:

On the 'ride' Marie was screaming her head off Ariel was having a great time. "HOW ARE YOU ENJOYING THIS?!" yelled Marie.

"IT'S JUST LIKE THE SEA-HORSES BACK HOME I USED TO RIDE ON! WEEEEEEEEEE!"

Soon they arrived at the other world and the buggy slowed down and landed gracefully on a field.

The 2 got out and the Hatbox said, "Enjoy your stay ladies. I'll pick you up soon." Then he left.

Then the girl's lockets glowed and they were in their peasant clothes from before. Ariel in her blue one and Marie in hers.

Ariel asked, "Now mine is doing that."

Marie said, "At least we won't have to worry about dress shopping. No doubt you have your pink one in there already."

They looked around. "Now we need to find the village and where Belle lives. I doubt the idiots in town will let us stay if they have spare rooms."

Ariel asked, "How would you know?"

Marie said, "I think we're in the age where women reading, learning, thinking is considered weird and unnatural."

Ariel said, "So we went back a few decades."

"Basically."

They walked down the road until they manage to find a house. Ariel asked, "Is that it?"

Marie looked at it and remembered what Belle's house looks like. "Yep. That's it." They walked up to the door and Marie knocked it. It took a while before the door answered and Belle opened it.

"Can I help you 2?" she asked.

Marie said, "Sorry to bother you. We're hoping to have a place to stay since we lost our home."

Belle said, "That's awful. Did you ask the villagers?"

Ariel said, "We couldn't take chances near town."

Belle smiled. "Well come in. I think we have room but I'll have to as my father about that."

The girls went inside and Belle said, "Make yourself comfortable and I'll find papa."

She went outside since he was in the basement working on something. Ariel said, "This is a charming house."

Marie said, "It is indeed."

Then Belle and her father, Maurice, came inside the house. "Hello girls. Belle told me your down on your luck."

Ariel said, "Yes sir. We lost our house and hoping to find a new home."

Maurice asked, "Well why not stay here until you get up on your feet?"

Belle asked, "Are you sure?"

He replied, "We can't through them out on the street. It's dangerous at time. Besides maybe they can help around the house so you can read more often and won't trip on things in the basement."

Belle said, "Well if that can work. Will that be okay you 2?"

Marie said, "It would be perfect. I'm Marie by the way, and this is my sister Ariel."

Belle smiled. "It's nice to meet you both. I'm Belle."

Then the man spoke. "And I'm Maurice, the towns inventor and I think you'll like it here. Now what are you girls good at?"

Ariel said, "Well I'm good at cleaning."

Marie said, "And I'm good on organizing things. We're not really good with animals since we didn't live on farm. We were daughters of a fishermen before it went out of business and lost and…well you know."

Belle said, "That's alright. Come I'll get your rooms ready." The 2 went upstairs and found their rooms. It was roughly next to Belle's.

Belle said, "If you want I can take you a tour of the town."

Ariel said, "We'll like that very much Belle."

Marie said, "If you don't mind that is."

Belle smiled at them. "It's no problem. Maybe tomorrow since I'm going to get a new book."

Marie smiled. "You're a reader too."

Belle asked, "You 2 are?"

Ariel said, "No. I'm more of a singer and dancer but Marie is the sister that loves to read." Marie blushed.

Later that night the 3 girls shared a room for the night and talk about things. Their childhood, their hobbies, their dreams, just about everything and as weeks passed into months, the girls loved each other like they were real sisters.

One night Ariel went into Marie's room and shook her awake. "Wake up. Wake up." Marie rubbed her eyes, put on her glasses and saw Ariel.

"What's wrong?" she asked yawning. She sat up and Ariel sat on the bed.

"When should we tell Belle about our mission?" she asked.

Marie said, "When I was in your world it wasn't until you saved Eric when my locket started to glow and it showed you're the next scout. We might have to play it by ear here. If we change too much, who knows what will happen and I have a feeling it won't be for the better."

Ariel said, "If only we can speed this up."

Marie said, "Again we can't go that. We'll just try our best and help Belle the best we can."

Ariel nodded. "Alright. Sorry to wake you up. Goodnight."

Marie smiled. "Goodnight."

Ariel went back to her room and Marie put her glasses down and went to sleep.

The next morning, all 3 were up. Marie was dressed and saw Ariel and Belle downstairs.

Belle said, "Morning. I'm going into town you 2 wanna come along?"

Ariel said, "Sure. Could use some time outside before our chores."

Marie said, "Yeah and we're going to see the same old same old town."

Belle said, "Wish what would happened if one things went out of line." Belle got her basket and the 3 left the house just as the sun went up.

As they walked Belle starts to sing. "Little town, It's a quiet village,"

Then Ariel, "Everyday, like the one before,"

Then Marie, "little town, with the little people,"

Then all 3 sang together, "waking up to say."

"Bonjour!" Exclaimed the baker.

"Bonjour!" Exclaimed the homeless man.

"Bonjour!" Exclaimed the woman dusting her rug.

"Bonjour!" Say's the man coming from the chimney.

"Bonjour!" Exclaimed the prisoner on the town square.

Belle sings again. "There goes the baker with his tray like always, the same old bread and rolls to sell!"

The wood seller passes by the 3 and waves at them, they did the same to him.

Ariel continued, "Every morning just the same, since the morning that we came, to this poor provincial town."

The baker saw the 3 come by and decided to say hello. "Good morning you 3!" he said, they heard him and decided to chat with him.

"Good morning monsieur!" they went over to him.

"Where are you off to?" The baker asked them.

"The book shop!" Belle said excited, she pulls out her book from the basket "I just read the most incredible story! About a beanstalk and an ogre and.."

She was cut off when they baker talked. "That's nice, MARIE! THE BAGUETTES! HURRY UP!" he exclaimed. The 3 just rolled his eyes and smiled and carried on their way.

Two elderly men look at Belle in question. "Look there she goes that girl is strange no question, dazed and distracted, can't you tell?"

The other townsfolk joined in. "Never part of any crowd, plus her heads up in the clouds. No denying she's a funny girl that Belle!"

The girls jumped on a moving carriage.

"Bonjour!"

"Good day!"

"How is your family!?"

The carriage went by a store with a beautiful woman with a man selling her bread. While his wife looked mad as he was flirting with the customer. "Bonjour,"

"Good day!"

"How is your wife?"

The man got hit to the ground by his wife with a roller.

"I need six eggs!"

"That's too expensive."

The girls looks at the place around them. All the towns-people walking around. "There must be than this provincial life!" They jumps off and heads to the book store.

The book keeper saw them as he was putting away his other books away in the shelves, he smiles as he see's Belle come in. "Ah Belle, Ariel and Marie." he said.

"Good morning, we came to return the book I borrowed." Belle said as she gave the book back to the old man.

The man adjusted his glasses and chuckles a bit. "Finished it already?" he asked.

Belle climbed the ladder on the book shelf.

"Couldn't really prey it out of her hands." Said Marie.

"Do you have anything new?" Ariel asked as she was scanning through the shelves.

The bookkeeper laughed again. "Not since yesterday."

"That's alright. I'll borrow…this one!" Belle said as he took out a book and showed it to him.

"That one? You read it twice!" he smiled.

"It's her favorite!" said Ariel.

Belle jumps off the ladder and twirls a bit "Far off places, daring swordfights, magic spells, a prince in disguise-"

The bookkeeper takes her by the shoulder. "If you like it that much it's yours" he said.

Belle went wide eyed.

"But sir!" said Marie.

"I insist" The book keeper says with a smile.

Belle was amazed and they thanked the bookkeeper. "Oh! Thank you very much!"

They left the book tore, three men saw them leave the store and they start to sing. "Look there she goes that girl is so peculiar, I wonder if she's feeling well?" The girls walks through the crowds, some water was going down the gutter and Ariel blocked it with a sign. "With a dreamy far off look, and her nose stuck in a book, what a puzzle to the rest of us is Belle!"

Belle sat down sat at the fountain with one leg crossed and the other on the ground. Ariel sat on her left and Marie on the right. Sheep gathered around them as Belle read the book. "Oh! isn't this amazing? It's my favorite one because, you'll see!" Belle points at the picture of a man and a woman and the background was a castle. "Here's where she meets Prince Charming! But he won't discover that it's her, till chapter three!" The 3 girls looked at the book.

The sheep herder saw his sheep and went after them. The girls walked on the street.

A woman in a wig shop saw them as well as the owner. The woman sings. "Now it's no wonder that her name means "beauty" her looks have not no parallel!"

The shopkeeper sings, "But behind that fair facade, I'm afraid she's rather odd, very different from the rest of us, she's nothing like the rest of us, yes different from the rest of us is Belle!"

Meanwhile a bird was shot at and a small man tried to catch it but missed. He put it in the bag and went to his boss who was a hunter. "Wow! You didn't miss a shot Gaston! You're the greatest hunter in the whole world!" Said the little man.

Gaston blew the smoke out of his gun. "I know." he said with a smug look on his face.

Along his side was his sidekick Lefou, he looks up to him like a god and would take his cruel treatment at times since he worshiped him. "No beast alive stands a chance against you!" the little woman said gleefully "And no girl for that matter!"

"Its true Lefou." Gaston said as he put his around him and then looks at something else in his direction. "And I've got my sights set on that one.!" He points at Belle getting some bread from the lady at the cart. Marie and Ariel helped Belle with the bread.

LeFou see's her and was surprised. "The Inventors daughter!?" LeFou exclaimed.

Gaston looks at LeFou with determination in his eyes. "She's the one-the lucky girl I'm going to marry!" Gaston says.

LeFou looks at him in shock. "But she's!.." LeFou was cut off as Gaston puts some hair behind him.

"The most beautiful girl in town!" Gaston exclaimed.

LeFou tries talking again. "I know that but!..." he was cut off again as the gun went on his head.

Gaston glares at him. "That makes her the best!" Gaston says, then he grabs on Lefou but the shirt and looked at him in the eye. "And I deserve the best!" Gaston growled a bit and LeFou gulped.

"Of course you do!" LeFou was dropped to the ground and Gaston starts to sing.

"Right from the moment where I met her saw her, I said she's gorgeous and I fell!" Gaston looked at his reflection on a pot at the store and didn't notice the girls went by. "Here in town there's only she, who is beautiful as me, so I'm making plans to marry Belle." Gaston see's the girls up ahead and then went after them.

Soon he went by the Bimbette sisters, the triplet in red was Cindy, the other blonde triplet in yellow was Lacey and the one in green was Penelope. They saw Gaston and were immediately love-struck. They sing as they pump water from the well. "Look there he goes, isn't he dreamy?" LeFou see's the beautifu blonde sisters and was in love as well. As he stared at them though they ignored him, they accidentally poured water on him when they leaned on the pump when they saw the beautiful man. LeFou was not impressed by that and left carrying Gaston's things. "Monsieur Gaston. Oh he's so cute! Be still my heart, I'm hardly breathing!" Gaston was walking through the village while the sisters were dazed. "He's such a tall, dark, strong and handsome brute!" The sisters faint.

Gaston was trying to get through the crowds as Belle continued to read her book.

The girls sang again together. "There must be more than this provincial life!"

Gaston points up. "Just watch I'm going to make Belle my wife!"

The town joins in and smiles at the girls. "Look there she goes that man is strange but special! A most peculiar mademoiselle!"

Gaston tries to get through the crowd of people in his way as the girls was leaving. "It's a pity and a sin, she doesn't quite fit in. 'Cause she really is a funny girl. A beauty but a funny girl. She really is a funny girl, that Belle!"

The girls stops and looks behind them. Belle just looks at them while Ariel and Marie glares at the. Everyone went on with their day, then they turn around and continues on their way.

As the 3 walked back home they bumped into Gaston. "Hello Belle." he greeted.

"Bonjour, Gaston." Belle greeted in return. The girls finally makes their way passed him when he grabbed Belle's book.

"Gaston, may she have her book please?" Marie asked.

"How, can you read this? There's no pictures." Gaston asked looking through the pages the wrong way.

"Well some people use their imagination!" Ariel replied.

"Belle, it's time you got your head out of these books and paid attention to more important things." Gaston said as he tossed the book into the mud. "like me." The ladies from town gazed at the scene. Marie sighed, she picked up the book and cleaned off the mud for Belle. "It's not right for a woman to read...soon she starts getting ideas...and thinking." He said.

"Gaston, you are positively primeval." Belle told him.

He put his arm over her shoulders as she put her book away and he pushed Ariel and Marie away. "Why thank you, Belle. Hey, what do you say you and me take a walk over to the tavern and have a look at my mission awards and hunting trophies." he slyly said.

"Maybe some other time." she said as Gaston was leading her away.

"What wrong with her?" Penelope cried.

"She's crazy!" Lacey whined.

"He's gorgeous!" sighed Cindy.

"Please, Gaston. I can't. We have to get home and help my father. Goodbye" she explained to him.

LeFou jumped out of a bush and laughed. "Ha ha ha, that old geezer. He needs all the help he can get!" he said. He and Gaston heartily laughed.

"Don't you talk about her father that way!" Marie yelled.

"Yeah, don't talk about her old man that way!" Gaston said, he conked him on the head.

"Her father's not crazy, he's a genius!" said Ariel. Then an explosion sounded from behind them. Gaston and Lefou began laughing again. The girls sprinted back to her house.

They ran to the basement and opened the doors so the smoke can clear away. "Papa?" Belle nervously said. He emerges from a broken beryl luckily not hurt.

"Are you all right Maurice?" Marie asked him.

"Yes, I'm fine. But I'm about to give up this hunk-of-junk!"

"You always say that." Ariel said.

"I mean it, this time. I'll never get this contraction to work!" he said, looking at the broken machine.

"Yes you will," Belle sat next to him, "and you'll win first time at the fair tomorrow."

"Hmph!"

"...and become a world famous inventor!" she said.

He smiled, as he looked at the girls. "You really believe that?"

"We always have."

"Well what are we waiting for? This thing's not going to fix itself. Now hand me that dog-legged clutched." He got right back under the machine. "Did you have a nice time in town today?"

"I got a new book. Father, do you think I'm odd?" He got out from under it with a funny working hat on that always made Ariel and Marie giggle somewhat.

"My first daughter, odd?" he looked up at her, "Where would you get an idea like that?" She sighed.

"Oh, I don't know. It's just I'm not sure if I fit in here. There's no one I can really talk to."

"What about that Gaston? He's a handsome fellow!" The girls groans.

"He's handsome all right, and rude and concieted, and idiotic, and uneducated and... oh. father, he's not for me!" said Belle

"Not to mention very vain." Said Ariel.

"And an ass." Said Marie.

"Well don't you worry, after I because with this, we will have a new life for us. Alright let's try this again." He declared.

He turned on the machine and after some bells and whistles it started to move and it started to do what it should. Cut wood and put it away neatly for the most part.

"You did it!" Ariel and Marie yelled.

"You really did it!" yelled Belle.

"I did, I did! Saddle up Phillipe Belle! I'm off to the fair!" A piece of rubbish wacked him on the back of the head making him become unconscious.

A few hours later-

"Goodby father! Good luck!" Belle, Marie, and Ariel waved to him as he trotted off on his horse.

"Good bye, girls and take care while I'm gone!"

Several hours later

Maurice was in a dark forest on a small and narrow dirt path. "We should be there by now. Maybe we missed a turn. I guess I should have taken a...wait a minute." He pulled his horse to a stop and lifted his lantern to illuminate a sign giving directions to the fair. "Let's go this way!" The two continued through the darkness, he looked right at a dark and weedy path then right at a cleaner and more inviting path. They headed left. "This can't be right, let's turn back-LOOK OUT!" he yelled, a swarm of poisonous bats flew over them. Phillipe ran through the forest with his master glued with shock to his back, they almost ran over the edge of a cliff. "Phillipe? Oh, no!" A pack of wolves had surrounded them. The horse bucked the old man off and fled from them. He landed on the ground thank goodness not hurt. He got up off the ground and looked for his horse. "Phillipe?" He looked in front of him and there was a gate to a very big castle. As he answered and closed the gate the wolves came back but they only got his leg. He manage to get them off of him and ran to the doors.

"Hello? Is anyone home?" The doors creaked apart for him and he cautiously entered.

The castle was clean, yet dark and gloomy. Not a breath of life was in that area regardless of the dim glow of a candlestick with two arms and the ticking of a clock. "Hello? Hello?" Maurice said. He shivered.

"Poor guy must've gotten lost in the woods." said a male voice by the candle and clock.

"Shut up! Maybe he'll go away." said another with a low voice. Maurice turned around to face their way.

"Is someone there?" he asked.

"Not a word, Lumière. Not one word!" said the low voice.

"I don't mean to intrude or anything but I have lost my horse, I'm injured and old, and I need a place to stay for the night." The candle began to move, it opened it very glittery and teary black eyes and looked at the stout clock.

"Oh, Cogsworth. C'mon, have a heart." Lumière pleaded.

"Shhh! Shut up." The candle took action and put his hand/handle over the candle's mouth, who put his lit candle hand over Cogsworth's. "Ahh, ow ow OW!" He quickly withdrew his hand and waved it around.

"Of course, old-man, you are welcome here." Lumière said. Maurice whipped around in confusion.

"Who said that?" He picked up the candle stick for light, no knowing that he was holding the speaker. Lumière tapped him on the shoulder with the gold part of his hand.

"Over here." he spun around, pulling him to the other side.

"Where?" he nervously asked. Lumière tapped him on the head.

"Hello!"

"Ah!" Maurice dropped Lumière onto the stone tiled floor. The clock jumped down from the table and waddled like a penguin over to them.

"Well, now you've done it, Lumière. This is great, just splendid peachy -aargh!" Maurice had picked up Cogworth and was looking at him from different angles.

"What kind of mechanism are you?"

"Put me down at once!" He began to tickle the bottom of Cogworth's feet, the clocked laughed. Then Maurice winded the spring on the back of Cogsworth's head: the clock hands on his face began to whirl around. The human opened Cogsworth's front and played with pendulum. The aggravated enchanted clock smacked away the old man's hand and shut the door. "Do you mind? Please refrain from doing that, ever!"

"My apologies, it's just that I've never seen an inanimate object be used as a summoning and that...ahh...I mean...ah...ah-choo!" Maruice started before had sneezed on Cogworth, indicating that he had caught a cold from being tin the rain and having cold feet. The clock's clock hands winded around like windshield wipers to clean himself.

"Oh, you are soaked to the bone, old-man, Follow me so you may warm yourself by the fire."

"Thank you so much." Lumière hopped down the wide hallway then to the right to the den, followed by Maurice.

"No, no, no, do you know what the master would do if he finds you here?" Cogsworth nervously yelled at them. A large shadowy figure watched the scene below him from an overhead balcony. Cogsworth ran as fast as he could to the two as they entered the den. "I demand you to stop...right...there!" he cried, panting. He tumbled down the steps. Maurice sat down in the large chair in front of the roaring fireplace. "Oh, No! Not the master's chair!" A pillow-dog footstool rushed past him, barking like a dog literally, and went up to Maurice. "I'm not seeing this, I'm not seeing this!" Cogsworth groaned.

"Why, hello there, boy." Maurice greeted the footstool: it propped himself up under the human's feet. A coat rack came in and removed his wet coat. 'What service!" he said, astonished.

"All right, this has gone far enough. I'm in charge here and-argh!" He was run over by a teacart sounding like a race-car.

"How would you like some green tea? It'll warm you up in no time!" said a white tea pot with a purple lid and highlights along the rims. She poured some tea out of her spout into a tea-cup that was chipped at the edge: it hopped into his hand.

"No! No tea, no tea!" he ordered, still laying face down on the ground. Maurice sipped the tea.

"His mustache tickles mama!" said the tea cup. Maurice coughed from the shock of drink from something that talked.

"Oh, hello!" Maurice said to Chip. The door to the den slammed open and a strong gust of wind blew through out the room: extinguishing Lumière's flames and the fire in the fireplace. Cogsworth dived under the rug to hide as Mrs. Potts began to shake in fear. Chip jumped back onto the teacart and hid behind his mom.

"Uh, oh!" he whimpered. He entered the room. He was a beastly and monstrous beast with a dark purple cape wrapped around him.

"There's a stranger here." he growled with his raspy voice. Lumière relit his flames and explained to him,

"Master, allow me to explain. This old-man was lost in the woods and he was cold and wet..." His words were drowned by the very loud growl of the monster which doused his flames once again. Lumière bowed his head looking dejected. Cogsworth crawled out from under the rug.

"Master, I'd like to take this moment to say I was against this from the start. I tried to stop them, but would they listen to me? No, no, no." Once again, the monster's growled drowned out his voice. Maurice nervously looked to the left of the chair, then to the right: he saw him.

"Who are you? What the are you doing here?" the beast snarled. A very frightened Maurice slowly stood up and backed away from the advancing beast.

"I-I was lost in the woods and..." he nearly stumbled from his hurt ankle. He stared into the beast's white and blue eyes. It advanced to him.

"You are not welcome here!"

"I'm s-sorry." Maurice stuttered.

"What are you staring at?" he growled with his haughty voice. Maurice cowered under the him.

"Noth-noth-nothing!" He tired to escaped but the beast stopped him

"So, you've come to stare at the BEAST. Have you?" he barked.

"Please! I meant no harm! I just needed a place to stay for the night!" Maurice begged.

"Oh, I'll give you a place to stay!" the beast cackled. He picked up Maurice with great ease, carried him out the room, and slammed the door: plunging the den, along with Lumière, Mrs. Potts, Chip, and Cogsworth into darkness.

Outside of the house where Belle was reading, Ariel was cleaning, and Marie was organizing, was Gaston and his minion LeFou. "Belle's gonna get the surprise of her life, huh Gaston?" Gaston patted LeFou roughly on his back and said through his smiling teeth,

"Yep. This is her lucky day!" Gaston let go of the branch he was holding which swung back and hit LeFou in the mouth. The man turned around to gaxe at the band, wedding guests, and a bunch of other people whom were just out of sight of the house compound. "I thank you all for coming to my wedding. But first, I had better go propose to the girl!"

Everyone else laughed heartily. To the side stood the triplets who were sobbing.

"Now, you LeFou. When Belle and I come out of that gate-." Gaston said.

LeFou nodded and finished, "Oh, I know! I know!" he turned around and directed the band made up of some of the village men. They began playing 'Here Comes the Bride.' Gaston put a tuba on LeFou's head.

"NOT YET!" Gaston yelled.

LeFou said, through the tuba. "Sorry."

The 3 girls were enjoying a peaceful not to mention quiet afternoon. There was a loud knocking on the door. Being the closest to the door Marie put down her book went to go answer it. She peeked through the peep-hole and saw the Gaston. "Belle he's here."

Belle went to the door and answered it.

"Gaston, what a...pleasant surprise." she said. Marie and Ariel glared at him.

"Isn't it though? I'm full of surprises. You know, Belle, there's not a girl here who wouldn't love to be in your shoes." He boisterously said. "This is the day..." he began, he quickly retrieved the compact in his pocket and looked t the mirror and licked his teeth clean. "This is the day your dreams come true."

"What do you know about her dreams?" Marie hissed.

"Plenty! Here, picture this." Gaston discarded his boots and he plopped down on the chair and propped his smelly feet on Belle's book on the table across from him. The girls covered their noses.

"A large traditional home, latest and freshest food sitting on the polished oak table, and my little wife: massaging my feet while the little ones play with the dogs." Gaston explained, his eyes were closed. Ariel looked absolutely disgusted.

"We'll have six or seven." Belle blushed and backed away from him.

"Dogs?" she said, knew the real answer.

"No! Strapping boys, like me!" Ariel and Marie sweat dropped as well as have a vein pop out on their foreheads.

"Imagine that." she thought aloud. She picked up her book, put a feather on the page she was on, and put it back in the shelf.

"And do you know who that wife will be?" he asked, his blue eyes became small and squinty.

"Let me think..." she said, the thought 'of a way to escape'.

"You!" He sprang from the sofa and cornered her. She ducked under his arms.

"Gaston, I'm speechless. I really don't know what to say." she said to him she backed away to the door. Gaston walked over to her and coner her at the door.

"Say you'll marry me." he convincingly said. Belle reached for the nob to open the door.

"I'm very sorry, Belle, but I just don't deserve you." she quickly slid the door open and dashed under Gaston's arms as he tumbled out the doorway and into a pigpen. 'Here Comes the Bride' played. LeFou, who was directing the wedding band, looked down from the hill they were on and saw Gaston in the mud. Marie through his shoes out. He cut off the band and went to Gaston. Gaston got his head out of the mud and a pig off his head.

"So...how'd it go?" LeFou asked. Gaston with glaring eyes, he picked up the man by the scruff of his shirt and held him to eye-level.

"I'll have Belle for my wife, make no mistake about that!" He dropped LeFou in the mub and walked away wiping some of the mud away. From inside the large house was Belle, Ariel, and Marie.

"Is he gone yet?" came Belle's muffled voice from the door.

"Clear!" Marie said. Belle gave a sigh of relief and folded the blanket and put it away.

"Can you believe it? he asked me to marry him! Me, the wife of that boorish, brainless...," Belle got up and left the house to the chickens at the back of the house. Ariel and Marie looked at each.

"Madam Gaston, can't you just see it?" she sang to a group chicken, "Madam Gaston, his little wife. No sir, not me, I guarantee it. I want much more than this provincial life..." Belle ran off to the vast field of flowers that overlooked a beautiful valley beyond it.

"I want adventure in the great wide somewhere, I want it more than I can tell." she sang, her heart ache rang within her voice as she spun around. She stopped and looked to the sky, "And for once it might be grand, to have someone understand. I want so much more than they've got planned." The girls walked to Belle and sat down next to her.

The clopping of a horse sounded behind them. They turned around hopefully but was disturbed to see Phillipe without her father aboard him. "Phillipe! What are you doing here? Where is father? Where is he, Phillipe? What happened?" she panicked. The brown horse snorted and lowered its head to eat some grass. "Oh, we have to find him, you have to take me to him, Phillip!" Belle jumped onto the horse's back.

Marie and Ariel said, "We're going with you."

Belle said, "Alright. Hop on." They got on the horse and in a matter of seconds they were gone into the setting sun's horizon.

An hour or so passed by until they breached the opened gated of a gigantic castle. "What is this place?" Belle thought aloud. The girls became nervous.

They entered the gateway and saw her father's head protecter on the ground.

"Papa..." she whispered. They looked at the castle.

"He has to be in there." Said Marie.

Ariel said, "And they lave to let him go."

From inside the castle was a clock and candlestick bickering about the past turn of series of unfortunate events.

"Couldn't keep quiet, could we. We just had to invite him in to stay, didn't we? Serve him tea, sit in the master's chair, pet the pooch..." rambled the vexed Cogsworth. Lumière looked guiltily at the ground and would have scuffled a foot around if he had any.

"I was just trying to be hospitable." Lumière said in an apologizing manner. The large entrance doors creaked open by the girls.

"Hello? Is anyone here? Hello, papa, are you here?" Belle said with a bunch of other things like that. She walked up the grand staircase that split into three paths. One leading up to the right and another symmetrical to it at the left and one straight on in the center.

Ariel said, "It's so dark in here."

Marie asked, "How can anyone see?"

"Mama!" Chip exclaimed from the kitchen, "There's girls in the castle!"

"Now now, Chip. I'm not going to let you make up such wild stories." Mrs. Potts said as she poured hot water into the tub.

"But really, mama, I saw them and the tall brunette looks cute!" the girl insinuated. Mrs. Potts rolled her purple eyes.

"Not another word. Into the tub." she scolded. The teapot pushed the chipped cup into the tub of hot water and soap. A feather-duster swept into the room.

"Hey! There's girls in the castle!" said the feather-duster with a feminine voice. Chip poked her head out of the water.

"See! I told you!"

Back to Cogsworth and Lumière: "You irresponsible idiot, moronic-!" Cogsworth was lecturing the young man of a candle when he heard something else.

"Father?" came Belle's soft voice. They turned around to look at the new arrival.

"Maurice?" Called out Ariel and Marie.

"Did you see that?" Lumière excitedly whispered in disbelief. Running to the door, he and Cogsworth poked their heads around the corner. "It's girls!"

"I know it's girls." he replied. Lumière looked at Cogsworth with his happy purple eyes and explained,

"Don't you see? One of them is the one. The girl that we've been waiting for! She has come to break the spell!" With that he chased after them.

"Hey! W-wait a minute!" Cogsworth yelled to the candlestick. The girls walked down a narrow hallway, unaware that a candlestick and clock were trailing her. The house-hold objects went to a door that they had skipped by and pushed it open. Ariel heard the creaking of it and looked back to find the source of it. Noticing the open door she went through it.

"Maurice? Maurice?" she called to nothing. Cogsworth hid behind the door as Lumière rushed off as fast as a candlestick could. "Hello? Is someone here? Please, wait! I'm looking for my father!" Belle called out. They ascended the stairs not realizing Lumière was watching her from a stand-still position. "I-i-is anybody here?" A voice other than her own was echoing throught the grey room.

"Girls?" said Maurice's voice. They rushed up the remainder of the stairs to see him in a cell.

"Oh, Father!" she rejoiced.

"How did you find me?" he asked, stroking his hands through her black locks of hair.

"Phillipe came back! Oh, your hands are like ice. We have to get you out of here!" Marie said.

"Girls, I want you to leave this place." He told her.

"Who's done this to you?" Ariel demanded.

"No time to explain! You must go...now!" he yelped.

"We won't leave you!" Belle cried. All of a sudden something went by and Belle dropped the torch she was carrying into a puddle: the room went dark.

"What are you doing here?" the raspy voice barked.

"Girls, run!" he yelled to her.

"Who's there? Who are you?" Ariel inquired.

"The master of this castle." it replied.

"We've come for my father. Please let him out! Can't you see he's sick?" Belle told it in a determined voice. Fear lurked in her heart.

"Then he shouldn't have trespassed her." he growled.

"But her could die!" Belle begged, "I'll do anything!"

"There's nothing you can do. He's my prisoner." snarled the raccoon-dog.

"Oh, there must be some way I can...wait! Take me, Marie, and Ariel instead!" Belle cried.

'As if I haven't heard that line before' he thought. "You! You would take his place?"

"Belle, no! You don't know what you're doing!" Maurice yelled. They ignored him.

"You! You 3 would take his place?" asked Beast

"If we did, would you let him go?" Marie asked.

"Yes, but you must promise me to stay here forever." Beast said in a somewhat nicer voice. Belle pondered the tight situation and then realizes that she couldn't see the captor.

"Come into the light." she said in a steady voice. He hesitated before dragging his legs, then his whole entire body into the moonlight from a window. The girls eyes grew wide until Belle couldn't stand it anymore. She fell back to her father.

"No, girls," Maurice comforted, "I won't let you do this!" They ignored him and the girls walked up to him.

"You have our word." they stated.

"Done!" Beast quickly said.

Beast, in one stride, quickly got to the prison door to unlock it. Belle collapsed to the ground with her head in her hands and the girls kneeled down to comfort her. The sound of an unlocking door sounded behind her. Maurice rushed over to them.

He crouched down to comfort her saying, "No. Listen to me. I'm old: I've lived my life-." The beast grabbed Maurice dragged him down the stairs.

"Wait!" Belle cried out to them.

"Belle!" called out Maurice. They were already outside. Beast proceeded in dragging the man towards the palanquin. "No! Please, spare my daughter!"

"She is no longer any of your concern." the beast gruffly said to the human. He threw the man into the palanquin. "Take him to the village." He ordered. The palanquin broke the ivy holding it t o the ground and then slunk off like a spider with Maurice inside.

"Please, let me out! Please!" Maurice's fading voice yelled. The girls gazed sadly out the cell window at the palanquin and her father crossing the stone bridge over the moat leading to the surrounding forest. Tears trickled down Belle's cheeks as she buried her face in her hands. Beast began ascending the few stairs leading to the interior of the castle. Lumière stood at the entrance with an uneasy expression upon his face.

"Master?" the candle stick nervously said. the beast turned to him, his eyes angry and wild.

"What?" Beast hissed.

"Well, um...since the girls is going to be with us for some time, I was thinking that you might, er, want to offer her a more comfortable room." Lumière said. The beast growled at him, enraged. "Then again, maybe not!" the object said with wax droplets rolling down his waxy face. Beast stormed off to the cell where the girls were then and Belle was still crying.

"You didn't even let me say good bye. I'll never see him ever again. I didn't get to say good bye." she thought aloud with her back turned to him. Guilt struck through his heart.

"I'll show you to your room." he dead-panned. They turned her surprised face to him.

"Our room?" she thought the cell would be her room, "But I though-."

"You want to, you want to stay in the tower?" asked a confused Beast.

"No." she replied.

"Then follow me." he said to her. All of the anger from before had boiled down to nothing but a safe simmer that had always been there. The girls was lead by the demon through the gloomy hallways of the castle, Belle had begun to lag behind. She looked to the hideous sculptures on the walls and the light casting dancing shadows on them. Frightened, she gasped and ran to catch up with others and Beast who was carrying Lumière to light the halls. The Beast looked back at Belle to see a tear form at the corner of her eye.

"Say something to them!" Lumière whispered to him.

"Hmm? Oh..." Beast turned his head to the side while still walking through the corridor. " I...er...hope you like it here." he said to them. He looked to the purple-eyed candle's consent. Lumière motioned his hands for Beast to continue. He looked at the girlse again and said, "This castle is your home now, so you can go anywhere you wish...except for the West Wing." They looked up from her sandals to his sandy yellow-green eyes.

"W-what's in the West Wing?" they questioned.

Beast halted in his steps and without turning her direction he snarled, "It's forbidden!"

He continued his way down the hall practically squeezing the life out of poor Lumière where behind them followed by the girls. Light spilled into the room as Beast opened the door for her. She walked into the comfy room.

"Now, if there's anything you need, my servants will attend to you." he tenderly said. Lumière's face lit up as an idea awoke in his head.

"Dinner...invite them to dinner!" he whispered in Shukaku's pointy purplish ears.

He growled angrily and said to the girls, "You...will join me for dinner. That's not a request!" The beast whirled around, his dark purple cape and he slammed the door shut behind him. Belle, terrified, ran over to the bed and flung herself onto it, finally breaking down and sobbing. Ariel and Marie went to her and started to rub her back.

Later that day, Belle was crying and the girls were trying to calm her down. Clink, clink came from her white double doors. Belle looked up from her blanket, sniffled and asked, "Who is it?" asked Belle.

A voice called out, "Mrs. Potts dear." The door opened and a teacup with dark-purple eyes and a chipped teacup looking at her. "I thought you might like a cup of tea." it said.

"Yup!" said a younger feminine voice coming from the china cup. Contained in it were varieties of teabags. Belle backed away from the tea set and the girls were in shocked.

'Just like the movie.' Thought Marie. Ariel stayed on the bed.

"B-but you...erm, I I mean... I-," Belle stuttered until she had backed into her wardrobe that had not been there moments before.

"Oof. Careful." said a quiet voice behind her. Belle wheeled around and fell onto her bed in shock. The wardrobe was alive.

"This is...can't be real." she said to herself, trying to calm herself down. The wardrobe leaned onto the bed as if it were her shoulder: popping the other half of the bed and the girls into the air.

"Yeah well, here we are!" she happily but plaintively said.

"I told you she was pretty!" Chip exclaimed as Mrs. Potts poured some tea into it.

"Yes, yes Chip. Here, this should do." Mrs. Potts said, only half listening to him. Chip hopped over to Belle who was still on the floor. "Careful now. Don't spill it!"

"Thank you." the human girl said.

Right when she was about to take a sip of tea Chip asked, "Wanna see a trick!" the cup took a deep breath and then blew bubbles out the top of the cup.

"Chip!" Mrs. Potts snapped.

The cup looked guilty said, "Oops. Sorry." Belle drank some of her tea. Its sweet taste now tasted bitter in her mouth as her sad feelings blended with it.

"That was very brave of you 3, what you did miss." Mrs. Potts said to the human girl, trying to comfort her.

The wardrobe, nodded. "We all think so." She said. Belle slowly shook her head.

"But I've lost my father, my family, my dreams... everything!" she whimpered.

"It'll be alright Belle." Said Marie.

"We were down on our luck once." Said Ariel.

"Do cheer up, ma'am. It'll turn out all right in the end. You'll see." The teapot chided. Belle looked up at the teapot. "Oh. I'm just blabbering away when there's supper in need of preparing. Come along Chips!" Mrs. Potts apologized. The tea set hopped out the door.

"Bye!" said the teacup as it spun in the air in between one of its hops. The girls stood up and un-ruffled their dress.

The wardrobe approached them. "Well now, what shall we have you be wearing for tonight's dinner? let's see what's in my drawers..." she said. Her doors flew open and a moth or two fluttered out. She blushed embarrassed, and slammed them shut. "How embaressing!" One door opened as she used her gold arm/handle to reach inside and pull out a pink dress. "Awe here we are. You'll look so stunning in this!"

"That's very kind of you, but...we're not going to dinner." Belle quietly stated.

"Oh, but you must!" she said, looking shocked.

Marie said, "This might be going to far Belle. For one we need to eat."

Cogsworth had waddled into the room since one of the doors was ajar. "Dinner...is ready." he bowed.

Back in he main room, the Beast was passing back and forth in frustration. "What is taking so long? I told them to come down so why isn't they're here yet?" hissed the Beast.

Mrs. Potts shifted uncomfortably on her glass tray. "Please, try to be patient master. The girl has only just lost her father and her freedom all in one day and the other girls probably lost their home and guardian." she said.

"Erm, master, have you thought that, perhaps, this girl, or at least one of them, could just happen to be the one to break the spell?" The candlestick, Lumière, nervously asked.

Beast whirled around and stared at the candlestick with his malicious yellow eyes. "Of course I have. I am not a fool!" the demon barked.

"Good then! You fall in love with her, she falls in love with you, and viola the spell is broken and we'll all be humans again by midnight!" Lumière optimistically exclaimed.

Mrs. Potts. "It's not that easy, Lumière. These things take time."

"But the rose," he said, "it has already begun to wilt..."

Beast exhaled deeply and sat down. "It's no use. Belle's so pretty, and I'm so...well, look at me." he said downheartedly. Lumière and Mrs. Potts looked sadly at each other.

"Oh, you must help her see past all of that, master." she said.

"I don't know how."

"Well..." Mrs. Potts haughtily said, "you can start by making yourself more presentable. Straighten up, try to act like a gentleman!" The Beast sat up properly and straightened his face quite formally. Lumière joined in.

"Ah, yes. When she comes in, give her a dashing, 'nice guy' smile. C'mon. Show me the smile!" he said. The demon bore his fangs in a disturbingly scary and yet funny grin. If the objects had hair it would have spiked out of control.

"Geez, don't frighten her!" Mrs. Potts exclaimed.

"Impress her with your rapier wit."

"But be gentle and nice to her."

"Give her many compliments."

"But be sincere."

"And above all..." started Lumière, The household objects finished together, "YOU MUST CONTROL YOUR TEMPER!"

The creaking of a door opening sounded from behind him. Beast quickly shook off his silly 'smile' and looked up to the east wing. "Here she comes!" Lumière excitedly said. A wooden like clopping came down the stairs showing it only to be a very nervous and guilty looking Cogsworth.

"Oh, uh good evening." Cogsworth softly muttered to them as he bowed his upper body. The beast went from somewhat pleasantly expectant to enraged.

"Where is she?" he growled. The stout clock was looking at its stands/feet and popped up his head as if he were just then paying attention.

"Who?" Cogsworthi asked, trying to stall, "Oh, the girl. Yes, the, er girls...Well, actually, they're in the process of...well, the circumstances, being what they are is that," The demon ferociously glared at him. "They're not coming!" Cogsworth quickly finished.

"WHAT!" the beast's thunderous snarl echoed through-out the large room. The demon sprang out of his chair in rage, knocking it down, and ran up the wide set of stairs leading to the ballroom and then to the right to the East Wing. The objects struggled to follow him.

"Your Highness! Master, please! let's not be too hasty!" Cogsworth and Lumière yelled to him, stumbling as he charged ahead. The girls were minding their own business when they heard noises coming from the hallway.

The beast came to the girl's door and banged on it with his fists. "I thought I told you 3 to come down to dinner!" he barked.

"We're not hungry!" came a female voice. He slowly and angrily exhaled.

"You will come out or I'll...I'll break down the door!" snarled the master of the castle.

"Master, I could be wrong, but I really don't think this is the best way to win a girl... this girl's affection." Lumière said to him as beast's eyes became all watery and shiny.

"But she's being so...difficult!" he excused.

"Gently, gently." Mrs. Potts pleaded. He sighed, turned around to face the white double doors.

"Will you come down to dinner?" a dejected Beast asked. He heard a light thump against the doors.

"No!" Belle yelled, she had thrown a pillow at the wooden obstacle separating the two. He looked down to the household objects his eye's saying 'SEE?!'

"Be suave, gentlemanly, charming..." Lumière said with gestures of his arms with each word. Beast nodded and turned away.

"It would be to my honor and great pleasure if you would join me for dinner, madam." he said, bowing his upper body to the door.

"Ahem...say please!" whispered Cogsworth.

"...Please." he finished as a sweat-drop formed by his head.

"No, thank you." Belle said, surprised that he said those things.

"You 3 can't stay in there forever." he softly said, trying to be comforting.

"Yes we can!" she childishly said.

Beast's 'nice' mask was obliterated within less than a second and he became his old usual self: bitter, cold-hearted, selfish, and angry!

"Fine. Then G=go ahead and STARVE!" he snapped. He whirled around to the objects and ordered, "If they doesn't eat with me, then they doesn't eat AT ALL!" Beast ran down the hall and then down the stairs, slamming the door shut with a loud bang behind him. A statue jiggled around and fell next to Lumière who stood shocked in place before slowly scooting away.

"Well that went well, didn't it?" Mrs. Potts sarcastically said.

" Lumière, stand watch at the door and inform me at once if there's the slightest change!" Cogsworth ordered. The candlestick hobbled over to the door and bowed.

"You can count on me, captain!" the twenty-two year old candlestick said.

"Well, it's best I should be going downstairs to clean up." Cogsworth said, turned around and waddled down the hallway.

Meanwhile, the beast was knocking down and destroying various things in his path of fury and of rage. "I ask kindly and I practically kowtowed to her, but she still refuses! What a...what does she want me to do-beg?!" he hissed to himself. Beast turned to a hand held mirror that lay on its back on a table he had in the room. "Show me the girls." the beast said to it. The iris and pupil contracted then dilated to normal. In the mirror the eyeball hovered over he saw Belle, Ariel, and Marie beauty talking to her wardrobe.

"Why the master is not so bad once you get to know him," the wardrobe chided the young woman, "Why don't you give him a chance?"

Belle turned her back to the furniture piece and folded her arms. "I don't want to get to know him and I don't want to have anything to do with him!" she bitterly remarked.

Ariel asked, "But aren't you acint stubborn?"

Marie said, "It's just dinner."

Beast tenderly mumbled, "I'm just fooling myself. She'll never see me as anything more than a... monster. It's hopeless." A red petal fell from the rose. He downheartedly rested his face in his paw.

Back with the girls, they stood up, tip-toed to the door. Belle put her forefinger to her lips to signal Ariel and Marie to be silent as she slowly wedged the door open. They silently emerged from her room and walked down the hallway to her left. from under a table with a long cloth over it a light could be seen under it.

"Oh, dear!" giggled a mischievous female voice.

"Oh, yes!" said a familiar male's.

"Oh, no!" Anko childlishly said.

"Oh, yes, yes, yes my sweet dumpling!" laughed Lumière.

"I've been burnt by you before!" the woman warned him. She swished out from behind the cloth followed by the candlestick. Lumière looked up to see the girls walking down the hallway.

"They have come out!" he exclaimed.

In the kitchen, "C'mon Chip, into the cupboard with your brothers and sisters!" Mrs. Potts said as she nudged the teacup towards the cupboard.

"But I'm not sleepy!" yawned the boy.

"Yes you are."

"No, I'm...not..." he fell asleep. Mrs. Potts shut the cupboard doors with her spout. A banging of pots and pans came from the frying board.

"I work and slave all day, and for what? A culinary masterpiece gone to waste!" it loudly complained.

"Shut up, it's bee a long day for all of us." Mrs. Potts said to him.

"Well, if you ask me," grumbled Cogsworth, "she was just being stubborn. The master did, after all, say 'please'."

"But if the master doesn't learn to control that temper of his, he'll never break the-," started Mrs. Potts before she was cut off by Cogsworth. The girls had somehow found the kitchen through aimless strolling.

Cogsworth turned his head to and became polite and gentlemanly," It's nice to see you out and about ma'ams." The candlestick came hobbling into the kitchen. "My name is Cogsworth, you can address me as Baki-san, I am head of the household." He took her hand to kiss it until he was interrupted by Lumière. Gloom surrounded the clock's body, "And this, is Lumière."

"En chant, charies..." Lumière said before he took the extended hand Cogsworth was going to kiss.

"If there is anything...stop that...that we can…please.. to make your stay more comfortable" Cogsworth said as he struggled to talk to the girls until he was forced to shoved Lumière who was kissing the girl's hand out of the way.

The candlestick put his hand to Cogsworth's arm and bruntly burned him. "Ow!" Cogsworthi muttered as he rubbed his marred gold handle.

"We are a little hungry." Marie sheepishly said. Those words were like an alarm clock for Mrs. Potts.

"Hey, you hear that? They're hungry! Stoke the fire, get out the silver, wake up the china!" she exclaimed in a hurried fashion. The stove, upon hearing this, roared to life as the drawers opened to reveal several spoons, authentic looking chopsticks, and the occasional fork. Cogsworth jumped in the air and spun around, waving his hand horizontally at his neck mouthing 'NO!"

"Remember what the master said!" he hoarsely said. A puff of steam rose from Mrs. Potts' spout.

"Ugh, whatever. I'm not going to let anybody in this household go hungry." Mrs. Potts scoffed. The clock glowered with rage.

"Fine. A glass of water, a crust of bread, and then-."

"Cgsworth!" Lumière gasped, "I am ashamed of you. They're not here as prisoners. They're our guest! We need to make them feel welcome here." he scolded the older piece. Turning to the girls he said, "Please follow me, madams."

"Well keep it down. If the master finds out about this, it will be our necks!" said Cogsworth to Lumière. The candlestick waved his hand in acknowledgement.

"Yes, yes, of course. But what is dinner without a little music?" Lumière laxly commented. Cogsworth made his way out the swinging doors. As the door swung back it hit the short clock: sending him flying into a pot of food. During his flight he yelped, "MUSIC?!"

In the dining room, the girls were taken to a very long table. Ariel at Belle's left and Marie on her right. A spotlight seemingly coming out of nowhere shined upon her and then moved onto Lumière who stood on the table further away.

"Ma chere Mademoiselles, It is with deepest pride and greatest pleasure that I welcome you tonight. And now, we invite you to relax. Let us pull up a chair as the Dining Room proudly presents...your dinner." Lumière introduced.

"Be... our guest, be our guest. Put our service to the test, place your napkin on your lap, cheries, and we provide the rest!" he sang. The napkin on the table before them flipped into the air and neatly folded itself onto the fronts of her thighs. Marie put her around her neck and Ariel put hers on her lap.

"Soup du jour, hot hors d'oevres. Why, we only live to serve! Try the grey stuff, it's delicious! Don't believe me? Ask the dishes!" Lumière said with his charming and matured voice as he held out a platter with a little snacks on it. The girls kindly took a taste and agreed it was good.

"They can sing, they can dance, after all this is France! And the dishes here are never second best! Go unfold your menu, take a glace and then you'll be our guest, oui our guest, be our guest!"

At then end of the table was a cabinet with the spotlight set upon it, opening to reveal a large china collection which hopped onto the table below it. Lumière slid on his base to Belle's end of the table and handed her a menu that had some how appeared in his wax hands. She began to read. Ariel and Marie got their from the chair they were sitting on

"Beef ragout, Cheese soufflé Pie and pudding "en flambe"! We'll prepare and serve with flair, a culinary cabaret!" Lumière sang as he danced and swung around the china glasses. More dishes came spinning by, in a bowl of pie where Cogsworth was in. The candlestick flew to the bowl, poured a liquid of some sort on it and set it aflame: sending the poor stout clock flying onto the table covered with soot and pie.

"You're alone, and you're scared," Lumière sang, as the spoons jumped into a big batch of what it looks like punch. "But the banquet's all prepared! No one's gloomy or complaining, While the silverware's entertaining! We tell jokes, I do tricks. With my fellow candlesticks." Lumière said as he was elevated on a plate he stood on, juggling his candles. The beer steins around him declared, "And it's all in perfect taste, that you can bet!" They began hopping over one another, passing ingredients to a tea recipe to another. A drink went to Marie and took a sip. It was her favorite from Chili's.

"Come on and lift your glass, you've won your own free pass, to be out guest, be our guest, be our guest!" All of the animated objects sang in chorus. Lumière added in, "If you're stressed, it's fine dining we suggest!"

"Be our guest, be our guest, be our guest!" The spotlight panned onto Lumière with an unease Cogsworth in the background, weary from being pushed around and picked upon all day. The clock began to inch away until the candlestick swung an arm around him and held him in place.

"Life is so unnerving, for a servant who's not serving. He's not whole without a soul to wait upon." moaned the candlestick. An exhausted Cogsworth fruitlessly tried to push away Lumière.

"Oh, those good old days when we were useful. Suddenly, those good old days are gone." Lumière reminisced. White something began falling from the ceiling. Cogswroth looked up and it was salt falling on him.

"For years now we've been rusting, needing so much more than dusting. Needing exercise, a chance to use our skills!" he moaned. He brushed off the salt on Cogsworth's brown head that was trying to escape. The stout clock tripped from the light touch and fell into a soft jell-o. "Most days just lay around the castle, flabby fat and lazy. Then you walked in and oops-a-daisies!" Lumière sang as he jumped onto a ladle in the tofu for the soup: catapulting Cosgroth out of the jell-o.

"It's a guest, it's a guest! Sakes alive, well, I'll be blessed!" whooped Mrs. Potts in the kitchen. "Wine's been poured and thank the Lord. I've had the napkins freshly pressed!" She continued to dance and spin around on her base. 'With dessert, they'll want tea. And who doesn't? It's fine with me! While the cups do their soft shoeing, I'll be bubbling, I'll be brewing!"

"I'll get warm, piping hot! Heaven's sake, is that a spot? Clean it up, we want the compeny impressed! We've got a lot to do-does is it one lump ot two? For you our guest! They're our guest." she sang. A napkin scrubbed her clean and so she hopped down onto the tea cart and rolled into the dining room, offering tea to Belle. All of the household objects joined in, "They're our guest!"

"They're our guest!" sang the teapot.

"Be our guest, be our guest. Our command is your request, it's ten 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 multiple candlesticks lifted their wax and revealed Lumière.

"Course by course! One, by one till' 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 first let's eat up. Be our guest, be our guest, be our guest! Please be our guest!"

With that the song ended with a amazingly fantastic finale made up of silverware flying through the air, plates and feather dusters dancing, and Cogsworth was the star of attention until Lumière slid to the area and knocked him out of the way.

"Bravo! That was wonderful" said Belle.

"Haven't seen a dinner and show like this in a long time." Said Marie.

"Same here." Said Ariel

"Thank you thank you, mademoiselles. Yes, good show, wait it everyone?" Cogsworth said. Looking at his own face by going cross-eyed he exclaimed, "Oh, my god, would you look at the time! Off to bed, off to bed!" Lumière hopped over next to Cogsworth.

"Oh, I couldn't possible go to bed now. It's my first time in an enchanted castle." Said Belle.

"Enchanted? Who said anything about this castle being enchanted?" the clock tried to cover up as two chopsticks were sword-fighting by. He turned to Lumière. "It was you, wasn't it?" He began to try to smack the candlestick with his gold handles, Lumière easily dodging the short arms. It was like trying to avoid being hit by a tyrannosaurus rex's arms.

"We figured that out ourselves." Ariel told them.

"It isn't that hard to tell really." Said Marie.

The objects who had been bickering before looked at her then stopped their pointless duel. Cogsworth dusted himself off as Lumière fixed his wax nose and bits of purple wax design. "I would actually like to look around, if that's alright." Belle stated.

"Same with us." Said Ariel

"Oh! Would you like a tour?" asked an excited Lumière.

"Wait a second, wait a second. I'm not so sure that's such a good idea." Cogsworth said, turning to the candlestick he said, "We can't just let her go around poking into certain places, if you know what I mean."

"Perhaps you could take us. I'm sure you know everything there is to know about this castle." Ariel said.

"W-w-well, yes, actually, I do." he stuttered, somewhat flattered in a frightened way.

In the hallways, Belle, Ariel, Marie, Lumière, and Cogsworth and the dark red footstool walked/hopped/waddled through the gloomy hallways of the castle as Cogsworth lectured them. "As you can see, the pseudo, façade was stripped away to reveal a minimalist roco design. Note the unusual inverted vaulted ceilings. This is yet another example of the neo-classic bargoque period, and as I always say, if it's not baroque, don't fix it! Ha ha ha. Now then, where was I?" Cogsworth spun around on a stand of his and scolded the samurai suits of armor to get back to their posts for they were following the trio. "As you were! Now would you draw your attention to the flying buttress above the-mademoiselle?" The clock turned back to the group to find only a bored-out-of-his-mind Lumière. Ariel, Marie, Cogswroth, and Lumière looked behind them and saw Belle was ascending the grand staircase. Lumière, finally coming to attention looked behind him as well and ran with Cogsworth to catch up with the human.

"What's up there?" the girl asked as Lumière and Cogsworth jumped before her in hopes of blocking her way any further.

"Where, up there?" exasperated Cogsworth. "Nothing! Absolutely nothing of interest at all in the West Wing, to you that is. It's dull, and boring, very, very oh-so boring!" Lumière tipped to his side and sweat-dropped. Cogsworth nudged him and they nodded enthusiastically in agreement.

"Oh. So that's the West Wing." confirmed Belle.

"Nice going, stupid!" said Marie.

"I wonder what he's hiding up there..." Belle though aloud.

"He's not hiding anything what-so-ever!" Cogsworth quickly said.

"Then it wouldn't be forbidden." she dead-panned. Stepping over them she was about to advance up the stairs until the objects dashed in front of her once more.

"Perhaps you would like to see some exquisite tapestries dating all the way back to the-."

"Maybe later." she said in an irritated manner.

"We have a garden, or the library perhaps?" cried out Congswoth in his low voice as he scraped off the dried wax on his wooden back. Belle stopped in mid-step and put her foot down slowly.

"You have a library?" she asked with great interest yet disbelief, looking to them from the side, her black bangs making a shade over everything above the tip of her nose. She felt flabbergasted that such a gloomy, dusty, old place such as the place she was in now could ever possible have a library. The objects took a step back/ sideways as to not fall off the stair again.

"Oh yes! Indeed." the clock nervously said as she slowly turned around to face them, still thrilled that he had found something of interest to her. Lumière decided to speak up.

"With books!" he exclaimed.

"A room filled with books!"

"Gads of books!" he declared.

"Mountains of books!"

"Forest of books!"

"Swamp of books!"

"More books then you'll ever be able to read in a lifetime! Books on every subject ever studied, by every author who ever set pen to paper."

The objects led the 3 girls down the stairway to the left. But Belle's attention span broke and so she turned back to wandering the West Wing. Her excitement of this new place however, began to dwindle as she walked down through the gloomy hall leading to the monster's lair. As she strolled down the hallway, she paused for a brief moment to look into the shattered remains of a mirror, each fairly big piece reflected her concerned white eyes and expression. Reaching the end of the hallway she found to the right of a beautiful dusty window.

She walked past a low traditional-looking table, tripped over a gourd that was in the middle of the room for some reason, and knocked over the table: only to catch it thanks to her swift reflexes. She stood up and turned her head to see a shredded portrait on the wall. She lifted the strips of canvas that had not yet fallen to the ground and saw a sad blue eye and blood red hair almost covering it. To the corner of her eye to her right she spied a bell jar with a blue rose inside of it, magically suspended within. Walking over to it with her white eyes transfixed, she reached out and lifted off the jar, leaving the rose unprotected, and set the jar aside. She reached out to touch the rose that seemed to emit a light of its own. As she neared it, a shadow loomed onto her. Beast had been on the balcony and had noticed noises coming from his room.

Jumping back into the room, he picked up the glass bell jar with his claws/fingers and put it back over the rose. He then turned his attention to Belle. "Why did you come here?!" he roared at her.

She backed away, frightened. "I'm sorry."

"I warned you to never come here!" said the beast.

"I didn't mean any harm!" she told him, carefully maneuvering her way backwards through the beast's extremely messy room. Nevertheless, he just grew angrier.

"Do you realize what you could have done?" he seethed, he pushed away a sofa in his way with ease which made it smash against the walls of peeling light blue paint: making a rather large dent in the wall. He thrashed at more pieces of furniture.

"Please, stop! No!" she pleaded him, although still scared.

"Get out! GET OUT!" he screamed. Taking his words, Belle turned around and fled from the room. As he saw the innocent young woman run from the room. What had become of anger was calm, and what had formed from calmness was then sad rage. He fell to his knees, holding his head in his paws. Despaired upon finally realizing that he had destroyed his chances with the girl he knew not the name of.

Belle rushed down the staircase, three steps at a time, and grabbed her coat hanging off a coat-hanger that was hanging out with a group of napkin rings, also bursting past a confused Cogsworth, Ariel, Marie and Lumière. "Whe-where are you going Okyakusan?" he stammered.

"Promise or no promise, I can't stay here for another minute!" Belle yelled to him. Cogsworth stood stiff as he heard this from her.

"Oh no, wait please wait!" he cried. Ariel was about to yell something also but Belle had slammed the doors behind her by that time. The candles in the room saddened, thus darkening the room. Lumière, Cogsworth, Ariel, and Marie's face fell into gloom and sadness.

Then Marie's locket started to glow. She looked at it and it shows she will soon get attacked by wolves. "Oh no." Ariel saw it in her's and both ran to Beast's room. Marie banged on the door. "Beast you have to save Belle. She's going to be attacked by wolves soon."

Ariel said, "She's your once chance of happiness. You must show her you more then a beast. You're a gentlman. Saving her might change her mind about leaving."

For a while there was silence and the girls were worried that maybe it didn't work. It wasn't until the door opened when they smiled.

Belle was on her horse on her way back when she turned her head and saw they were being chased by wolves. She made the horse go fast until they got the a frozen lake. They manage to get away but one of the wolves drowned. They manage to get to land and then they were surrounded again.

Belle fell to the ground and the horses's reins were wrapped on a free branch. Belle got a one in order to fan them off but it wasn't working. They broke the stick, forced her to the ground and as soon as she was about to get attacked, the beast's paw knocked the canine-thing aside with a brisk sweep. He hovered over Belle and the girls made it to her side. Three of seven of the large wolves lunged at his neck: the beast dodged and swatted away one of them, injured another, but that and another took it's mark at his shoulder. With a raspy growl, he pried off the two wolves, smashed their heads together creating a gruesome sight of blood, fur, and intestines in the snow, and he threw them into the cracking lake. All but one of the wolves then fled and disappeared into the dark forest.

The beast looked at Belle and collapsed. Belle was about to get on the horse again but stopped. She went to the beast and helped him on the horse so they can head back. Marie looked at her locket and saw it glowed yellow. Ariel saw it with wide eyes. "Is she?" Marie nodded.

Sometime later, Ariel poured some hot water into a bowl and Marie got the bandages. Belle got the hot tower ready so she can clean the scratches. Beast was licking the wounds.

"Here how. Oh, don't do that." Then the 2 started to fight over the arm. "Just hold still." She put the tower on it and beast roared.

"That hurts!" he snarled.

"If you hold still, it wouldn't hurt as much." Said Marie.

"Well if Belle hadn't run away, this wouldn't have happened." He said with a smirk.

"If you hadn't frightened her, she wouldn't run away!" Yelled Ariel.

"Well she shouldn't have been in the West Wing." Said Beast.

"Well you should learn to control your temper!" Yelled Belle.

She got his arm again. "Now, hold still. This may sting a little." She placed it back on his arm and he cringed "By the way, thank you for saving my life."

The beast looked at her almost in shock. "You're welcome."

Meanwhile back in town, Gaston and LeFou were at a hub with an old skeleton. "You know I don't usually leave the Asylum in the middle of the night but he said you'd make it worth my while." Gaston though a small sake of gold coins on the table and he took out a coin. "Ah, I'm listening."

Gaston said, "It's like this. I've got my heart set on marring Belle, but she needs a little persuasion."

LeFou laughed. "Turned him down flat." That made Gaston hitting him making his face stuck in a beer mug.

Gaston continued. "Everyone knows her father's a lunatic. He was in here tonight raving about a beast in a castle."

The man said, "Maurice is harmless."

Gaston wasn't buying it. "The point is, Belle would do anything to keep him from being locked up.

LeFou manage to get the beet mug off of him and said, "Yeah, even marry him." He ducked as he saw Gaston was about to hit him.

"So you want me to throw her father in the asylum unless she agrees to marry you." Saw both nod. "Oh, that's despicable. I love it!"

Back at the house Maurice was packing. "If no one will help me, then I'll go back alone. I don't care what it takes. I'll find that castle and somehow I'll get them out of there." He got a lamp and left. As he disappeared from sight Gaston, LeFou, and the asylum wagon arrived. Gaston pulled open the doors with great ease: they quickly shut behind him resulting in broken noses from his minions.

"Belle, Maurice?!" he bellowed in voice.

LeFou gave up. "Oh well. I giess it's not going to work after all.

Gaston picked him up by the shirt and took him outside. "They have to come back sometime, and when they di, we'll be ready for them. LeFou," Then he dropped them on a pile of snow in front of the house. "Don't move from this spot until Belle, her father, and the 2 girls come home." He got on the wagon and he left leaving him behind.

"But, but….aw nuts." He hit the house and got barried in the snow.

Back at the castle the next day outside in the glittering white courtyard of Beast's castle was Belle. She was walking around with her horse. The horse nudged her back and Belle hugged him. Then the stool-dog showed up and started to play with her. Up on an overlooking balcony was the beast. Cogsworth, Ariel, Marie and Lumière looked on at their master and Belle.

"I've... never felt this way about anyone before!" he said to himself. "I want to give or do something for her. But what?"

"Well there is the usual things like...er, flowers! Chocolates, sweet promises that you don't really intend to keep..." The clock was shoved aside by Lumière and a box of matches that assisted him in keeping his candles alit.

"That doesn't even work half of the time." Said Ariel.

"You're lucky just to have a conversation with that stuff." Said Marie.

"No, no, no. It has to be something really special. Something that sparks her interest-wait a minute!" Lumière gasped as he put his right candle and put it to his waxy chin, melting some of it off quite nicely as well.

Later, Beast was showing Belle a special room. "Belle? There's something I would like to show you." he said as gently as he could with his raspy voice. She nodded and said okay, she promptly brushed off the snow on her jacket and ran to his side. "But first you have to close your eyes." Belle gave him a confused look. "It's a surprise.

She closed her eyes. Beast lead the young woman inside. "Can I opened them?" she eagerly asked.

"No, no. Not yet. Wait here." he softly said to her as the best he could. He shuffled over to the wall-like windows and drew open the dusty royal-green curtains. Rays of light poured in, creating odd shadows due to snow, frozen to the glass. Even with her eyes closed she squinted them, feeling the darkness around her disappear as the light invaded the room.

"Now can I opened them?" she asked. He smiled without showing his teeth/fangs

"All right, now." replied the beast. Belle opened her eyes and she gasped aloud.

"I can't believe it! I've never so many books in all my life!" she squealed as she slowly spun around the room.

"You-you like it?" he nervously asked the young woman. She slowly nodded her head.

"It's wonderful!" she responded, her face was turned away from his as she gazed about the room.

"Then it's yours." Said Beast

"Oh, thank you so much!" she cried in a high-pitched squeal.

Cogsworth, Lumière, Ariel, Marie, Mrs. Potts, and Chip who were looking on at the two near behind the door.

"Would you look at that?" Marie scoffed, in her voice though there was good intentions and a smile on her face. Lumière grinned.

"Ha, ha! I knew it would work!" he said. Chip's rim raised around her eyebrows should be if she had any.

"What? What works?" the ten-year old teacup asked.

"It's very encouraging." Cogsworth said with his brown eyes closed.

"This is so awesome!" cheered Ariel.

"I didn't see anything." complained Chip, unable to see the possibility of romance between a demon and human. Mrs. Potts sighed and told Chip that there were chores to be done in the kitchen. "But what are they talking about?! What's going on?" he whined.

Morning of the next day, It was time for breakfast with that done and said he poured milk into the oatmeal. It was what one was meant to do but he did it very hastily as he began to gobble up the mixture like an animal. Belle watched this performance with great disgust. As the cart holding the sweet dumplings wheeled around the corner of the table where the beast grabbed a handful of the wooden skewers which the dumplings were strung through. Chip began to giggle as his master ate his breakfast with no table manners whatsoever until Mrs. Potts shot her an admonishing look.

Belle turned her head away from the beast and began to set up her breakfast in a far more polite manner. Pathetic and also sad. Belle got an idea and raised the combined bowl of stuff in a manner of toast. Beast looked at the compromise and did the same. They then began to sip their breakfast out of their bowls.

Later that afternoon Belle and the beast were outside in the snow feeding the birds. "There's something sweet, and almost kind. But he was mean and he was coarse and refined." Beast got some bird seed in his paws and tried to feed the birds, but they would always fly away. "I wonder why I didn't see it there before." She kneeled next to him, put more in his paws and lower them to the ground. Then the bird got closer and soon in his paws. Beast smiled with glee.

"She glance this way, I thought I saw. And when we touched, she didn't shudder at my paw. No it can't be, I'll just ignore. But then she never looked at me that way before." Belle got up and went to the birds and soon she was behind the tree thinking of what's happening.

"New and a bit alarming. Who have ever thought that this could be? True, that he's no Prince Charming, but there's something in him that I simply didn't see." She turned to see beast and laugh that he was covered with birds. Once they flew away she threw a snowball at him. He shook the snow off of him and saw her laughing. He got a big snowball and was planning to throw it at her.

Up in one of the rooms were Cogsworth, Lumière, Mrs. Potts, Chip, Ariel, and Marie.

"Well who have thought?" started Marie.

"Well bless my soul." Said Ariel.

"And who'd have known?" asked Cogsworth.

"Well ho indeed?" asked Mrs. Potts.

"And who'd have guessed they'd cometogether on their own?"

"It's so peculiar." Said Ariel and Marie.

Then everyone was at the fireplace and Belle was reading a book to beast. "We'll wait and see a few days more. There maybe something there that wasn't there before."

Chip asked, "What?"

Mrs. Potts answered, "There maybe something there that wasn't there before."

"What's there mama?" he asked.

"I'll tell you when you're older." He kissed him as Ariel and Marie closed the door leaving them some privacy.

That night, Ariel, Marie, and the wardrobe was getting Belle dressed up for the night dance. Marie said, "Belle you look beautiful." She was fixing her hair.

"You're going to make the beast very happy." Said Ariel.

Belle asked, "Are you…happy here?"

Marie stopped. "We're happy when you're happy. You always wanted to get out of that town and now you are in a beautiful castle, friends that won't be mean to you, and beast cares for you."

Belle said, "Yes he does. I just miss papa." Marie and Ariel looked at each other.

Back at the beast a pool-sized bathtub sat in the false brown title ground of Beast's bathroom which was just as big as his main bedroom itself. Many weeks had passed by since the fateful events that had led up to the trusting, sweet, and fluffy relationship between Belle and the Beast. Beast sat within the tub's depths, and the coat hander was scrubbing him clean without rubbing off his fur. On a sill, next to a candy bar-sized soap bar was Lumière who was previously lighting the scattered sunflower scented candles lining around the room. Excitement seethed around Lumière almost as if it were an aura.

"Tonight's the big night!" the overjoyed candlestick exclaimed for the third time.

"I'm not sure if I can do this." the raccoon-dog glumly said, more to himself than to his candlestick servant.

"You don't have much time to be timid. You must be bold, daring!" he said this like an obnoxious, always lucky, life counselor. Even so, the breast's spirits rose. He got out of the tub.

"Bold. Daring." he muttered and repeated consistently under his breath. His servants had tried making him accustomed to the human ways of drying. Unfortunately for them, with the amount of hair he had it, which was more than they ever had even before they were cursed/enchanted, shaking himself like a dog was a lot more easier and less time consuming. He did so: extinguishing many candles within a five yard vicinity.

"There will be music. Romantic candlelight, provided by myself, and when the time is right, you shall confess your undying love."

Beast thought about it. "Yes, I, I con-no, I can't." he dourly stated.

"You care for the girl, don't you?" asked Kankurou, already knowing the answer to that.

"More than anything." He replied.

"Well then you must tell her!" The coat rack tapped Beast wall mirror. "Voila. You look so….so…"

"Stupid." In his reflection he saw himself with an ugly hair cut. He shook his head.

"Not quite the word I was looking for. Perhaps a little more off the top." The coat rack started to fix it up.

Cogsworth knocked on the door and came in. "Ahem, ahem, ahem. Your lady awaits." he told the three, he left the room.

At the stairwell doors opened and the first one there was, Belle in her yellow dress. She saw beast dressed to his best across from her on the opposite floor and smiled at him while giving a light blush, earning a smile from him in return. Dressed in a golden-honey colored dress with fluffy, but not abundantly fluffy, sleeves that slipped past her pale shoulders. At the top of the golden ruffled bodice was a yellow bow, the same color as the rest of the dress and meshed with her hair was a golden halo-like piece. The sparkly bodice ended in a diamond shape and from below it blossomed a poufy dress of two parts. On the top was a very light shade of yellow, almost see through, and dashed with glitter. Underneath was a more solid gold color. On her small feet were a pair of dazzling golden low-rise high-heels. She began to descended the staircase with grace.

Beast was prodded in the back by a coat hanger, he walked down the stair and met with her. He extended his left elbow to her: she wrapped her right hand around his forearm.

"Tale as old as time..." Marie sang. "true as it can be! Barely even friends, then somebody bends... unexpectedly."

The pair stopped by at the table, Belle sitting closer to the grand staircase and beast nearer to the entrance doors. Belle ate her rice and drank some tea with her great lady-like manners: beast was trying the best he could with the spoon again.

Ariel sang. "Just a little change, small... to say the least. Both, a little scared. Neither one prepared— beauty and the beast."

Belle got up from her chair and power-walked to the beast's side of the table and pulled him up with her, dragging him up the stairs and into the ballroom, it's great tall and wide double doors held open for the two by two suits of armor shined to the boot. They glided into the room and moved into a beautiful dance sequence. A suit of armor scooped up Mrs. Potts and Chip and carried them to the ballroom before resuming its post. In the large and circular ballroom Belle put beast's right hand just below her shoulder blade and rested her right hand in his raised left. He gulped as sweat appeared on his furry head. They began to dance in a circular motion, gracefully dancing their way counter clockwise the way it should be.

"Ever just the same! Ever a surprise!" sang Ariel. Mrs. Potts, Lumière and Cogsworth to her side, smiling to themselves. "Ever as before, ever just as sure. As the sun will rise!"

The brilliant chandelier hung above them, it's diamonds casting little lights about the room almost like a disco ball. Above that was a beautifully painted picture of bright. Blue birds soared across the marvelous painting as well with winged babies hiding amongst the clouds.

"Tale as old as time, tune as old as song." the teapot chorused. "Bittersweet and strange, finding you can change, ...learning you were wrong." Belle rested her pale face on Beast's warm chest. He looked to Lumière and Cogsworth in panic. Lumière winked at him and Cogsworth gave him a thumbs up with his mitten-like hands.

"Certain as the sun...," Marie sang, looking at the Hyuuga's beauty. "Rising in the east." "Tale as old as time, song as old as rhyme. Beauty and the beast."

The human girl and beast could be seen at the furthest end of the vast room, the door to the outside balcony. Lumière lowered his hands in rhythm with the music, the orchestra went down to a soft volume, the candles on the chandelier and elsewhere in the room dimmed.

"Tale, as old as time. Song...as old as rhyme. Beauty and...the beast." They walked arm in arm together outside to the moonlit patio. Beside her on the marble white table Chip yawned. "Off to the cupboard now Chip, it's past your bedtime." Lumière gave the orchestra a final order of descend until the last of the measure. Chip slid down the leg of the table that had curved it to make it easier for the young teacup. He slipped past the doors, then curiosity grasped her soul and she peeked once more inside for one last look.

Beast and Belle had adjourned to the balcony underneath the starry night sky. The Beast asked his first love, "Belle? Are you happy here with me?"

She replied, "Yes." Then she looked in the distance.

"What is it?" he inquired. She despairingly looked at him.

"My father... if I could see him again, if only for just a moment. I miss him so much." she exclaimed to the beast. His heart near broke in half when his face suddenly lit up.

"There is a way!" he said to her he, gently took her hand and led her back to his room in the West Wing. He handed her an ovular, thick, yet flat crystal like mirror to look into. "This mirror will show you anything, anything you wish to see." he told the human girl. She gave a steadied sigh and said aloud to none in particular,

"I'd like to see my father, please." The mirror flashed brilliantly for less than a second. She squinted her eyes and looked into the mirror after the glare faded.

Maurice was on all four in the snow, coughing hoarsely. The old man picked himself up and walked a few more shaky steps only to fall once more in the blizzard cold. Looking on them was the shocked and horrified expression of Belle and the concerned expression of beast. "Father. Oh no. He's sick, he maybe dying. And he's all alone."

After a moment of thought the looked at the rose he had and then turned his head towards her, "Then...then you must go to him and bring Marie and Ariel with you."

"What did you say?" she asked in great disbelief at his words.

"I release you from this castle. You are no longer my prisoner." he softly said to her, trying to search the right words.

"You mean that...we're free?" she asked.

He nodded. "Yes."

"Oh, thank you." she thanked him, looking into the mirror she said to her illusionary father, "Hold on, father, I'm on my way!" She was about to leave but then pushed the crystal mirror back to the beast. He shook his furry head and gently pushed it back.

"Take it with you, so you'll always have a way to look back, and remember me." he said to her, the last part sounded almost like a question. She gave him a sad smile.

"Thank you, for understanding how much he needs me." She left the room but looked back in: beast's head looked down in depression. She came back in and caressed his cheek with her hand. She rushed out of the West Wing and flipped out of her dress to reveal her normal blue and white dress. She went to the girls. "Ariel, Marie we can go now."

ArMarie was shocked. "What?"

Belle said, "Papa's sick s he let us go. Come on."

Cogsworth came into the room and said, "Well, your highness, I must say everything is going peachy. I know you had it in you."

Beast said, "I let her go."

Cogsworth was shocked. "You what? How vould you do that?"

"I had too."

"Yes, but why?" he asked.

"Because I love her." He replied.

Cogsworth went to the others and tell them everything that happened. "He did what?!"

Cogsworth said, "Yes, I'm afraid it's true."

Chip asked, "They're going away?"

Lumière said, "But he was so close."

Mrs. Potts said, "After al this time, he's finally learned to love."

Lumière grew excited. "That's it, then. That should break the spell."

Mrs. Potts said, "But it's not enough. She has to love him in return."

Cogsworth said, "And not it's too late."

Chip walked off in hope to follow be with the girls.

The girls were on Philipe and as they rode off the beast let out a loud roar. They manage to find Maurice and went back to the house to get him better.

LeFou had disguised himself as a snowman saw them enter the house. "Oh, they're back!" he said. He left to get the others including Gaston.

Maurice opened his eyes to see his daughter standing above him along with Ariel and Marie. "Belle? Ariel? Mrie?" She smiled at him, relieved to see that he was well enough to at least speak.

"It's alright papa. We're home." she confirmed to him. He feebly raised his still-cold right hand to stroke her cheek.

"I thought I'd never see you 3 again." He said.

"We've missed you so much, father." He propped himself up on his elbows, suddenly aware of the reason she was taken from him in the first place.

"But the beast! How did you escape?" he asked.

"We didn't escape father," she said, she frowned at the way he spoke of her darling beast, "He let us go."

"That horrible monster?!" he said in disbelief. She put her hand over her father's and tried to comfort him.

"But he's different, now. He's changed somehow." As she said this a rustle came from her bag: the flap had opened and the Looking Glass slid out, Chip gliding on it like a skateboard or something.

"Hi!" she greeted them.

"Oh, a stowaway" said Marie. Maurice sat up, looking surprised and yet also amused as well.

"Why hello there little fella. Didn't think I'd ever see you again." He said.

"Belle! Why did you go away?" the chipped tea-cup whined, "Don't you like us anymore?"

"Oh, Chip. Of course I do! It's just that—." A knocking at the door interrupted her chiding. Maurice was about to stand up before his daughter ushered him to rest down some more before she answered the door. She opened it and saw the old skeleton man. "May I help you?"

"I've come to collect your father," he slowly said.

"My father?" She wasn't happy to hear that.

"Don't worry...,"he said, "mademoiselle. I'll take good care of him." He stepped out of her view to reveal a caravan full of lunatics including a mob

"Maurice is not crazy!" Marie yelled.

"He was raving like a lunatic. We all heard him, didn't we!" he yelled to Marie, then to the crowd.

"YEAH!" replied the crowd.

"Belle?" he said in question. LeFou took a step forward.

"Ah, Maurice. Tell us again, old man, just how big was the beast?" he sneered.

"Well, he was...enormous! I'd say at least seven, no nine feet!" he exclaimed. Their audience laughed and snickered at the aging man.

"Well you don't get any more crazier than that!" chuckled the little man.

"It's true, I tell you!" he told them.

"Take him away." The villagers try to take him away and Ariel and Marie tried their best to stop them.

"No! You can't do this!" she cried. Gaston went beside her, his right arm wrapped around the back and over of her shoulders.

"Tsk tsk tsk. Poor Belle." he endearingly said to her, "It's a shame about your father." She glared at him.

"You know he's not crazy, Gaston." she hissed his name. He slipped his arm to around her small waist. Her eyes twitched and yet still shared the hating look towards him.

"I might be able to clear up this little misunderstanding, if..."

"If what?" she asked

"If you marry me." he slyly said to her, leaning his face towards her.

"What?" she angrily exclaimed. She gripped her left hand around Gaston's right that was at her waist.

"One little word, Belle. That's all it takes."

"NEVER!" she screamed.

"Have it your way." He said to her with his back turned, he walks away slowly, thinking that he was playing hard-to-get. The villagers manage to get Ariel and Marie away as they started to put Maurice into the wagon.

"Belle?" he called for her. She dashed back into the house and brought back the Looking Glass.

"My father is not crazy! And I can prove it!" she yelled to the crowd in her still yet soft voice. To the large flat crystal she hastily whispered, "Show me the beast!" The thing flashed once more and an image of the ever-depressed beast was displayed upon its surface. Her audience gasped in fear and awe at not only the beast but also the Looking Glass.

"Is it dangerous?" asked someone from the crowd. Belle shook her black-haired head and tried to reassure her.

"Oh, no. He would never hurt anyone. Please, I know he looks vicious, but he really is kind and gentle. He is my friend." Gaston who was still walking slowly, hearing the gasps of the crowd, dashed back to the front of the crowd within the house's walls.

"If I didn't know better, I'd think you had feeling for this monster."

"He's a monster, you are!" He shook his head and dashed to her side in less than a second.

"She's as crazy as the old man." he smugly said to her. He took the mirror from her hands in a blink of an eye.

"The beast will make off with your children! He'll come after them in the night." declared Gaston.

"No!" Belle cried.

"He's lying!" Yelled Ariel.

"We're not safe until his head's mounted on my wall! I say we KILL THE BEAST!" he bellowed. The crowd yelled after him 'Kill him!'.

"We're not safe until he's dead." said the butcher, shuddering while at it.

"He'll come stalking us at night!" said another.

"Set to sacrifice out pets to his bloody appetite!" whined an old woman.

"He'll wreck havoc on our village if we let him wander free!" yelled another man.

"So it's time to take some action, men. It's time to follow me!" he persuaded the mob. The man took a lighted torch from a villager and threw it into a haystack: creating an instant bonfire.

"Through the mist, through the woods. Through the darkness and the shadows. It's a nightmare, but it's one exciting ride." He started.

"Say a prayer, then we're there. At the drawbridge of the castle, and there's something truly terrible inside!" Seeing LeFou nearby, Gaston mimicked the monster and chased him around the fire.

"It's a beast! He's got fangs, razor sharp ones! Massive paws! Killer claws for the feast!" he sang. Gaston showed the image of the beast on the Looking Glass to LeFou who staggered and fell to the ground backward. "Hear him roar, see him foam! But we're not coming home 'til he's dead! Good and dead! KILL THE BEAST!" Belle rushed to Gaston's side and touched his arm.

"No! I won't let you do this!" she yelled. He wrenched his arm from her and turned his back to her.

"If you're not with us then you're against us. Bring the old man!" he demanded his followers. Dragged by his elbows came Maurice, struggling with all the old bones and withered skin he had.

"Get your hands off of me!" he hoarsly yelled at them. Gston pushed the old man into the cellar, followed by Belle, Marie, and Ariel.

"We can't have them running off to warn the creature." he explained to them. Hinata fumed and ran at the door, only to be repelled and shocked by some electrical force.

"Let us out!" she angrily cried.

Gaston ignored their pleas. "We'll rid the village of this beast! Who's with me!?" he smiled at their response. A chorus of "I am's" erupted from the mob.

"Lght your torch, mount your horse!" sang the crowd.

"Scrwe your courage to the sticking place." Gaston said.

"We're counting on Gaston to lead the way!"

"Through a mist, through a wood! Where within a haunted castle, something's lurking there that you don't see every day." the large group sang.

"It's a beast! One as tall as a mountain! We won't rest 'till he's good and deceased."

"Sally forth, tally ho, grab your sword, grab your bow Praise the Lord and here we go!" the large group sang

"We'll lay siege to his castle and bring back his head!" bolstered Gaston. Cheers and whoops sounded behind him.

Back in the basement, Belle was trying to get out. "I have to warn the beast. It's all my fault. Oh, papa what should we do?" she asked him. The old man sighed and draped his arm around her shoulders.

"Now, now. We'll think of something." he comforted her. She hugged him tightly. Chip didn't know what to do. Marie looked out the window where Chip was and saw the machine. She tapped the window and when Chip saw it, he got an idea.

"We don't like, what we don't understand. It frankly scares us. And this monster is mysterious at least." sang the mob as they flew through the dark forest.

"Bring your guns, bring your knives. Save your children and your wives. We'll save our village and our lives. WE'LL KILL THE BEAST!" they cried, as they got closer.

Back at the castle, Cogsworth paced to and fro on the tiled floor of the grand hallway. He stopped before Lumière. "I knew it. I knew it was foolish to get our hopes up." the clock said.

"Maybe it was better if she had never come at all." said Lumière. The stool-dog was barking like mad.

"Could it be?!" gasped Lumière.

"Is it she?!" asked Mrs. Potts who had hopped onto the banister on the top floor by the West Wing. Lumière hobbled his way to the window and then onto the sill. His black eyes contracted.

"Sacre bleu, intruders!" he yelped as he saw a giant mob of men being led by a man. The candlestick jumped off the window sill.

"Encroachers!" said the flabbergasted Cogsworth.

"And they have the mirror!" she cried. Mrs. Potts hopped onto the teacart and wheeled away into the West Wing.

Cogswoth;s black eyes became stern and unafraid. He turned around and walked toward the staircase in a slow and dramatic fashion with drums pattering in the distance and low brass instruments droning. "If it's a fight they want, we'll be ready for them. Who's with me?! Aahh" he exclaimed at the last sentence after talking in a cool and collected attitude. He had turned around only to see the objects nearby the doors had flown and were running toward the staircase way ahead of them.

"Take whatever you like, but remember, the beast is mine!" he said. He punched the air. His comrades yelled in triumph. The objects marched down both sides of the staircase, ready to do battle with the humans.

"Hearts ablaze, banners high! We go marching into battle unafraid, although the danger just increased!" they sang.

"Raise the flag, sing the song! Here we come, we're fifty strong! And fifty ninja can't be wrong! LET'S KILL THE BEAST!

In the beast's room, Mrs. Potts stood a few feet from the door and confronted the beast who was sulking in the moonlight of the midnight sky on the balcony. "Pardon me, master." she said to him. Her purple eyes were frantic.

"Leave me in peace." he grumbled with a certain sadness in his voice.

"But sir, the castle is under attack!" yelled the woman. She turned around and trembled as she heard the chanting outside.

"Kill the beast! KILL THE BEAST!" roared the mob as they tried to open the door with a tree they cut down. On the other side, the furniture were trying to keep them out.

"This isn't working!" yelled Lumière.

"Oh, Lumière! We must do something!" the dust brush said to him.

"Wait! I know!" he exclaimed.

"Kill the beast! KILL THE BEAST!" they were still trying.

Back at the room, "What should we do, master?" asked Mrs. Potts.

"It doesn't matter anymore. Just let them come." he mumbled in a strange voice.

"Kill the beast! KILL THE BEAST!" The mob had succeeded in breaking down the door and what greeted their arrival surprised them. A grand assortment of expensive furniture, candlesticks, feather dusters, clocks, and tea accessories lay about in the hall ahead of them. LeFou too was awed by the room and unknown to him, picked up Lumière who was holding as still as death.

Lumière smiled and yelled, "NOW!"

The castle objects sprang to life from around the smaller hallway of the West Wing. The battle was on as the objects attacked the surprised but prepared ninja.

Back in the house, Chip got the machine going and took the brake off and it made it's way to the basement doors. "Here we go!"

Maurice, Belle, Ariel, and Marie hear noise and looked through a crack. "What the devil?" said Maurice. He saw his invention going straight at them and got the girls out of the way. "Girls look out." It broke through the door with ease though it is now broken beyond repair.

"You guys gotts try this thing!" said Chip hanging on a spring.

Back at the castle, Candlesticks were alighting fire to the attire of the villagers, the clocks were jumping on their toes, the feather-dusters were making them cough, and the furniture were knocking them out.

Gaston broke away from the mob somehow and made out to search for the beast in the rest of the West Wing.

Belle, Maurice, Ariel, Marie, and Chip try to get to the castle as fast as they can.

At the castle the villagers were easily beaten by the furniture as fast as they arrived. "And stay out!" yelled Cogswoth.

Gaston looked every room he could find but didn't find the beast. When he did he got his bow and arrow ready. The beast looked at him and then turned away. Gaston released the arrow and it hit him in the back. The beast let out a painful roar. Gaston rushed out him and they went through the window and on the roof.

"Ha ha ha!" Beast simply sat there in the puddle of rain with despair written all over him. "Get up! C'mon, get up! What's the matter, beast? Too kind and gentle to fight back?!" Gaston mocked the beast.

The immature man broke off a piece of the roof and prepared to crush the creature's skull with it.

The demon strained his neck to the source of the voice and saw Belle on the bridge leading to the castle doors, yelling at Gaston to stop. "No!" she yelled to him. The rain drenched her hair and her face.

"Belle" Beast gasped. He felt the sorrow in his heart lift by a fraction.

"Gaston, don't!" Belle screamed. Gaston flashed with Anger and brought the roof piece down. Beast, with his regained strength, caught the mix of wood and metal in his paws. He stood up and roared in Gaston's face. They continued to fight onto the rooftop as the beast disarmed the human of the roof piece. Beast separated from Gaston and hid among the shadows of the stone gargoyles. Belle's eyes were worry-stricken and she dashed into the castle walls. Ariel and Marie weren't far from her.

"How is she going to be a scout?" asked Ariel.

Marie replied, "I don't know. From what I remember he became the hero. You don't think he has another form like Ursula?"

"Come on out and fight!" snarled Gaston as he wildly looked around the rooftop. "Did you love her, BEAST?" he asked. "Did you honestly think she'd want you when she had someone like me?!" Beast's eyes glowed from the dark with anger, he jumped from the shadows and attacked. Gaston parried the attack. "It's over, beast. Belle is mine!" Belle glared bitterly at the smaller human, briskly whacked the club from Gaston's hands, and picked him up by the neck over the ledge of the slanted roof.

"Put me down! Put me down! Please don't hurt me! I'll do anything! Anything!" he pleaded like a baby. The anger in Beast's eyes dwindled to compassion and roughly set down Gaston.

"Get out!" he demanded. He shoved Gaston to the ground.

"Beast!" yelled Belle from the balcony above. Beast spun on the spot around to see her.

"Belle!" he began to climb up the roof toward the girl he had fallen in love with. He reached the balcony and hung over the side of it. "You came back." he said to her. She put her hands on his wet paw that was on her cheek. They looked compassionately at each other but the moment was ruined when Gaston stabbed him in the side. As he was about to hit him again, he fell off the castle screaming.

Beast's grip on the railing ledge was slipping and Belle pulled him over. His body came over with a low thud with water droplets splashing everywhere. Lumière, Cogsworth, Chip, Ariel, Marie and Mrs. Potts ran to the window but stayed out of sight, their eyes wide at the sight of not only their master and Belle but the blue rose as well.

"You came back." faintly said beast, a smile displayed on his face.

"Of course I came back. I couldn't let them..." she said, her tears disappeared with the rain fall, " Oh, this is all my fault. If only I had gotten here sooner!" She bitterly said.

Beast lightly squeezed her hand in reassurance. "Maybe it's better this way."

"Don't talk like that!" she chided. "You'll be all right. We're together now. You'll see." He smiled at her. His eyes dimming. He averted his eyes to the weeping sky.

"At least I got to see you one...last...time..." he whispered. His eyes shut and his head and paws went limp. Belle sat there in the rain for several seconds, still holding onto his paw, then quickly let go and covered her face with her hands.

"This can't be happening. This can't be happening. This cannot be happening..." her mind raced over and over again. Her hands went to clutch the space where her heart was, her eyes streaming of tears.

"No no! Please! Please! Please don't leave me! I love you!" she yelled half to him and half to herself.

From inside the room the group that was like a family watched in sorrow as the last petal drifted from the rose, leaving it bare and desolate. Mrs. Potts began to silently cry, Cogsworth put a comforting arm around her.

"This can't be the end." Said Marie.

Ariel said, "Nothing ends sadly."

The rain continued to fall on the couple outside but then a ray of light shot out from the sky to the beast like a shooting star. Another came, and then more after that.

Like millions of spotlights from the heavens were shining upon the beast. Belle opened her eyes and saw what was happening, she backed away to the cold stone walls. A fog enshrouded him near completely and his body rose into the air, slowly spinning. The objects looking with anticipation out the door. Beast was enveloped in a cloud of light and became wrapped in his cloak. She could see that his body was shifting and forming. A hind paw emerged and became a pale foot. A fore paw came out and the claws became delicate fingers. A glowing wind of sparkling dust spiraled around his face, and swept and melted away to reveal a handsome young man. The grey-white fog dispersed and left the man lying there as if in deep sleep.

He had brown hair, a beautifully shaped face devoid of any facial hair or blemishes. Belle reached out to touch him. She recoiled back when the figure began to move. He deftly stood to his bare feet with his faded black knit pant ends dragging on the ground and looked at his soft hands. He then looked Belle. He was a human, and a split second before his sky-blue eyes met hers she thought she saw the familiar yellow eyes of her once beloved. The girl gave him a mysterious look.

"Belle, it's me!" he said to her with his lovely weak yet velvet voice.

It wasn't until she looked into his eyes she knew. "It is you!" she exclaimed. They embraced one another in their warm arms and kissed. A fireworks display is set off behind them thanks to her father down on the bridge.

The dark gloom around the castle disappeared and sunlight broke through the clouds as if commanded by the gods. The gargoyles on the roof transformed into guardian statues with peace on their white stone faces, and the darkness of the castle walls and interior transformed into beautiful and magnificent things. Soon the objects were human again like they always wished.

"Lumière, Cogsworth, Mrs. Potts! Look at us!" he said to them with his quiet voice. Chip came riding in on the footstool.

"Mama! Mama!" yelled Chip, he jumped off the cushion and while in the air transformed into a young boy of twelve. The footstool transformed into a puppy looking dog.

"Oh my goodness!" cried Mrs. Potts she ran up and picked him up.

"It's a miracle!" Lumière laughed.

Then there was a sudden shake all over the castle and then a big column of dark light where Gaston fell and when it hit the sky it turned dark again.

"What's going on?!" yelled chip.

Then there was a loud howl came out of no where and when Marie and Ariel looked down the balcony they saw a big wolf man in tattered clothes Gaston had on. "Well at least we know he has a second form." Said Marie.

The prince and Belle looked over and saw him climbing on the to the bridge. "That's Gaston?" asked Belle.

"A pissed off Gaston. Let's go Ariel." Said Marie.

The girls ran down to where the REAL beast emerge. "You 2 have been a throne in my side for a long time. To my surprise that you bet Ursula so easily." He said in a dark demon voice.

Ariel yelled, "You're working for the All Evil?"

Gaston showed them his pentagram that was in the back of his right shoulder. "I'm one if his main fighters."

Ariel got her locket ready. "Well then he's going to have one short then. PRINCESS BEAUTY…MAKE UP!"

Marie said, "Let's see if you're an easy villain to beat. PRINCESS LIGHT…MAKE UP!"

After the girls transformed all started to fight the beast Gaston. Ariel attacked first this time. "Mermaid Typhoon Monsoon!" She manage to water been Gaston farther away from the castle to protect Belle, the prince and all the inhabitance.

Marie attacked next. "Blind Light Blast!" But instead of cutting off a part, Gaston manage to dodge it with only a scratch. The he ran at them very fast and manage to pinned Ariel to the ground by the neck with his foot and lifted Marie in the air by the neck choking her.

"Not as easy as the first one." He said sinister. "No one will beat me! I'm the greatest hunter ever. I'm the real beast everyone's been hunter for and no one will stand in my way from my greatest hunt. To have a human head, and not just any, the head of the prince." He started to choke them in hope to kill them.

Back at the balcony everyone was watching them. "I have to help them!" said Belle. She was about to leave when she was stopped by her prince.

"You can't you'll get hurt." He said.

She put her hand on his. "You saved my life, let me do the same in return." She smiled at him as she looked into his eyes.

The prince looked at her and sigh. He let her. Belle ran down the stairs to where the battle was. "Leave them alone!"

Gaston saw her. "Ahh. I see Belle has finally join the fight. Think you're brave enough to go against me?"

Belle said, "I was brave enough the first time and I have to admit something, you taught me something Gaston. I should never judge people for what they are. Cause what I'm seeing now is an ugly soul just like you."

That pissed him off. He let go of the girls and just as he charged her Belle held her ground. "I won't be defeated by you!" And just as Gaston was inches away from touching her a bright light came between them.

Ariel and Marie looked at what was going one from little strength they had left and saw everything. "She's the next scout." Said Marie. Ariel did a weak smile.

The light blinded Gaston but not Belle. The light had an ember glow and when she held her hand out, and it landed there, it turned into another locket. This time in a shape of a small mirror. Then she heard a voice in her ear. 'Princess Temperance…Make up.' With all of her bravery and all her strength she yelled out those words. "PRINCESS TEMPERANCE…MAKE UP!" Then she transformed into her scout mode. Everyone was in awe, especially her friends in the castle.

Once the light went away and Gaston could see again, he saw her roar. "No. You weren't suppose to wake up."

Belle said, "Gaston, you're the most brainless man I've ever meet and you caused enough on my friends and my family. I'm Sailor Temperance! In the name of all that's good… I shall punish you!"

He started to charge her again but this time, Belle knew how to stop him. She held out her hand and the peddles from the enchanted rose started to glow. The prince saw it and once he removed the cover the pedals flew up and went to Belle and it formed a rose staff. She called out her attack. "Rose Vine Blast!" She hit the end of her staff on the ground then vines came from the ground and shot up and aimed straight at Gaston with balls of light at the end of them. Once they hit Gaston, he disintegrated and disappears forever.

Once he was gone, Belle ran to Ariel and Marie. "Are you 2 alright?" She helped them up.

"We are now." Said Ariel.

Soon the prince, Mrs. Potts, Cogsworth, and Lumière were where the girls were at. "Can someone please tell us what is going on?" asked Cogsworth.

Ariel and Marie manage to stand up. "Is a long story. Do you have time for it?" asked Marie.

Later that day, Ariel and Marie told them everything, the mission, the royals, the villains, the heroes almost to the point it almost took 2 days to explain. At the end of the explanation, the prince, who's name turns out to be Adam, wasn't so happy about Belle fighting but when he thought back when she stood up against the beast Gaston he agreed since he saw how brave she was.

Well days later, Bell and Adam danced across the room almost as if they were gliding.

"Ah, love..." smiled Lumière as his eyes glanced over his master and Belle, then to his girlfriend who was walking by in a enticing sparkly maid dress showing off her cleavage. He too had a suit on and was about to hook his arm around hers when Cogsworth interrupted him.

"Well, Lumière, old friend. Shall we let bygones be bygones?" the tan, muscular man said to him. Lumière scratched his head.

"Of course, mon, ami. I told you she would break the spell." he said to him.

"I beg your pardon, old friend, but I believe I told you." the older man argued.

"No you didn't. I told you!" the man of twenty-two year honestly said. He was after all, telling the truth.

"No you did not, you pompous paraffin-headed pea-brain!" spat Cogsworth.

Lumière frowned, took off his right yellow glove and smacked him with it. "En garde, you over grown pocket watch!" he sniffed.

Mrs. Potts, Ariel, Marie, and Maurice stood by the refreshments table, watching Belle and Adam elegantly glide across the room in each other's arms. Maurice began to cry again.

"Are they going to live happily ever after, mama?" he asked.

Mrs. Potts smiled at her son. "Of course, my dear, of course." she confidently said.

"Do I still have to sleep in the cupboard?" he exclaimed. All 5 of them started to laugh.

Everyone's eyes were on the perfect couple dancing in the center. "Certain as the sun, rising in the east. Tale as old as time, song as old as rhyme. Beauty and the beast. Tale as old as time, song as old as rhyme. Beauty and... the beast."
