A few days later, a 17 year old girl named Belle Van Dort and her friends, The Beast, Lumiere, Mrs. Potts and Chip were sitting by the fireplace. Belle was helping the Beast be kind and teaching him how to read. All of a sudden, Cogsworth came running in with a note in his hand.

"Belle," Cogsworth said to Belle, "I have a letter for you."

Cogsworth gave Belle the letter, and she read it.

"It's a wedding invitation." Belle said.

"Who's getting married?" Chip asked.

"Let's see." Belle answered.

Belle started to read the wedding invitation aloud.

"You are invited to the wedding of Victoria Everglot and…my cousin, Victor!" Belle said excitedly.

"Congratulations Belle!" Lumiere cried gleefully. "That's great news!"

"I'm definitely going. My cousin could be nervous about it." Belle said worriedly.

"I'll come too." The Beast said.

"Me too!" Lumiere cried.

"Count me in." Cogsworth said.

"Thanks guys." Belle said. "Mrs. Potts are you and Chip going?"

"No Dear," Mrs. Potts answered. "The rest of us will stay at the castle in case any intruders come to the castle."

"Thank you, and farewell." Belle said, and with that, Belle, the Beast, Lumiere, and Cogsworth went on their way to see Belle's cousin.
