An hour or so later Ron W, Hermione, and the team were hanging out in the forest while Belle and I were reading our new book inside the farmhouse. Suddenly Kaya, who was a slight distance away from the others, noticed a crowd that was lead by four foreboding people.
"Guys," Kaya said, running up to the others. "Both Gastons and Le Fous are here! And they brought a crowd too!"
"Let's go see." Brad said.
The rest of the team went over to where the crowd was.
"Oh boy, Belle's (Miranda's) going to get the surprise of her life, huh Gaston?" Le Fou and Le Fou D said as Gaston pushed back a branch so that they could see the farm.
"Yep," Gaston and Gaston D agreed. "This is her lucky day."
"What in the world?" Kit said, almost to herself.
Ron W, Hermione, and the rest of the team shrugged at that.
Gaston let go of the branch as he and Gaston D left, causing it to hit Le Fou and Le Fou D and fill their mouths with leaves. The rest of the team chuckled at that. They then noticed Gaston and Gaston D approaching the crowd so they decide to follow them.
"I'd like to thank you all for coming to our wedding," Gaston and Gaston D said to the crowd. "First I better go in there and propose to the girl." They winked
They, and the crowd, laughed. The bimbettes were there too, except instead of laughing they cried.
"That is really pathetic." Alex said.
"Pathetic? It's stupid!" Eliza added.
"Yeah, this is like eating bread before it is baked." Kirsten said.
"Or playing in a concert before you know how to play the instrument." Felicity agreed.
"They definitely have too much confidence." Numbuh Three said
"And way too big an ego." Cosmo scowled.
There was this egotistical fairy named Juandissimo who has been trying to take Wanda away from Cosmo so obviously characters like that make him mad.
Ron W, Hermione, and the rest of the team nodded in agreement.
"Now, you Le Fou," Gaston and Gaston D said, poking them in the nose. "When Belle (Miranda) and I come out that door…."
"Oh I know I know!" Le Fou and Le Fou D said enthusiastically. "We strike up the band!"
And they did: a pathetic fast version of the wedding march. Gaston and Gaston D each whammed a tuba onto Le Fou and Le Fou D's heads.
"Not yet!" Gaston and Gaston D said harshly.
"Sorry!" Le Fou and Le Fou D replied dryly, annoyed.
"Are you okay Rudy?" Samantha asked, noticing that Rudy looked uncomfortable.
"Huh…? Oh, yeah," Rudy said. "I just hate musical horns, that's all."
Snap winced in agreement.
"Forget it, let's just wait for Gastons' reaction to the rejection." Josefina said, grinning. "Come on."
Grinning, everyone went back towards the front of the farmhouse while Camera poofed into the house.
Hearing a knock at the door, Belle put down our book as we went to the door and looked into another invention of Maurice's: an ancient version of a peephole. When we saw Gaston and Gaston D's faces at the other side, we winced and Belle even rolled her eyes.
"Can't we just pretend we're not home?" I whispered before Belle could open the door. "Bolt the door! Bar the windows! Turn off the lights!"
"I don't like to be rude." Belle whispered back.
"I think you mean 'take a leaf out of Gastons' book'." I grinned. "Oh well, at least we can have some fun."
Belle grinned back and opened the door.
"Gaston, what a pleasant surprise." Belle said dryly.
"Isn't it though…" Gaston and Gaston D said.
" It is a surprise but I don't know about pleasant." I muttered.
"…We're just full of surprises." Gaston and Gaston D continued, not hearing me. "You know Belle (Miranda), there is not a girl in town who wouldn't love to be in your shoes. This is the day…." They stopped to look in a mirror and clean a tooth...vain, proud and bigheaded idiots! "…This is the day your dreams come true."
"What do you know about our dreams?" Belle asked.
"Nothing." I muttered.
"Plenty." Gaston and Gaston D said, not hearing me once again. "Picture this: a rustic hunting lodge, my latest kill roasting on the fire…"
Meanwhile, Gaston leapt into a chair, rested his muddy boots on our book on the table (yuck!) and kicked his boots off (double yuck!). Gaston D sat down next to him.
"…My little wife, massaging my feet (paws) while the little ones play on the floor with the dogs (children). Perhaps six (ten) or seven (eleven)." Gaston and Gaston D continued.
"Dogs?" Belle asked, rescuing our book.
"Children?" I asked at the same time.
"HEY!" Belle and I protested to each other, offended.
"No Belle (Miranda)!" Gaston and Gaston D said, not recognizing our offense. "Strapping boys (ki…pups) like me."
"Imagine that." Belle said dryly.
"I'd rather not." I said, at the same time thinking: "Interesting slip up."
After all it almost seemed that the dog Gaston was about to say 'kits' or something similar. Maybe he was just thinking of foxes.
"And do you know who that little wife will be?" Gaston and Gaston D asked.
"Let me think…." Belle and I said as Belle put our book away.
"You Belle (Miranda)."
"Gaston I'm, I'm...speechless." Belle said, backing up to the door. "I really don't know what to say."
"I do." I muttered, joining Belle. "Not even when non-anthro dogs and cats are able to have kids."
"Say you'll marry me." Gaston replied, not hearing me yet again.
"You too Miranda, I know you want to." Gaston D added.
At that point Gaston and Gaston D leaned over us. That gave Belle and I an idea.
"I'm very sorry Gaston," Belle and I said. "But, but I (you) just don't deserve you (me!)."
At the same time we said that, we opened the door and moved out of the way, causing Gaston to fall outside into a mud puddle! I cracked up, and so did my friends.
"I love doing that!" I laughed.
Belle grinned in agreement as she tossed Gaston's boots outside.
Le Fou and Le Fou D struck up the band, but stopped the band when they saw Gaston and Gaston D in the mud. Gaston and Gaston D came up as a couple of pigs slid down their backs.
"So, how'd it go?" Le Fou and Le Fou D asked.
Sheesh, the answer should be obvious!
Gaston and Gaston D grabbed Le Fou and Le Fou D by the throats and stood up.
"I'll have Belle (Miranda) for my wife, make no mistake about that." Gaston and Gaston D said determinedly before tossing Le Fou and Le Fou D into the mud.
"*Hm*, touchy." Le Fou and Le Fou D said.
The two pigs sitting next to them oinked in agreement.
Gaston and Gaston D walked away, wiping the mud off their face. A few seconds later, I opened the door and quietly walked out.
"Are they gone?" Belle asked from inside.
"Yeah, they are." I said.
Belle joined me outside.
"Can you imagine? He asked me to marry him!" Belle and I said, disgusted. "Me, the wife of that boorish, brainless…!"
BELLE AND I:
Madame, Gaston, can't you just see it?
Madame, Gaston, his little wife
Belle and I walked into the stalls where the farm animals lived, mockingly put a scarf around our heads, and kicked a barrel in anger.
BELLE AND I:
No sir, not me, I guarantee it
I want much more than this provincial life
Belle walked out of the stalls and ran down a hill, but I leapt out the other end and rolled down the hill. My friends caught up with us as we ran through a meadow of dandelions.
BELLE AND I:
I want adventure in the great life somewhere
I wanted more than I can tell.
Belle and I collapsed onto the ground and picking up a couple of dandelions.
"Doesn't she mean 'fell'?" Eddy said, trying to make a rhyming joke.
Kevin punched him as the others shook their heads.
BELLE AND I:
And for once it might be grand,
To have someone understand
I want so much more than they've got planned
