Later, Beast and Harry were in a room next to Forte's, and they prepared a table for them, and Belle and I, to sit at.

"COGSWORTH!" Beast called.

"Oh dear, yes, oh, oh, coming, coming." Cogsworth said to himself as he ran through the halls.

"COGSWORTH!" Beast called again as he pushed a chair towards the table.

"Running, running, almost there." Cogsworth continued before reaching the room. "You bellowed sir?"

"Find Belle, I, uh…well, I… she has to hear a song." Beast said.

Harry jabbed him with his elbow.

"Same with Miranda…." Beast added.

Harry jabbed him again.

"And their friends, if they want to." Beast finished reluctantly, giving Harry an annoyed look.

"Yes, sir, right away sir, uh, yes…" Cogsworth saluted before realizing what Beast had just said. "Splendid, yes, well, splendid. Ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho."

Cogsworth then started going through the halls while calling our names….

Meanwhile, Lumière was overseeing the placement of the chandelier.

"Careful, careful," Lumière said as a coffeepot started raising the chandelier. "Too fast! Get out of the way! Stop!"

Startled, the coffeepot accidentally let go of the pulley, and the chandelier landed right in front of Lumière.

"*Huh!* Amateurs." Angelique scoffed.

Cogsworth suddenly reached the railing of the stairway that led to the ballroom. He kept on running until he ended up poking his head and arms through a wreath.

"Here…. Excuse me, hello. Has anyone seen Belle or Miranda?" Cogsworth asked. "I can't find them anywhere, and the masters are demanding to see them now, they've got a song they want them to hear."

"Ho-ho, c'est magnifique." Lumière smiled as he lit the candles on the chandelier by spinning it around and holding one of his candles near it.

"Last I saw of them, they and their friends were going with Chip to look for a Christmas tree." Mrs. Potts said.

Cogsworth tried to free himself form the wreath, but he only ended up pulling the wreath off while still stuck inside it.

"Right, we must conduct a search of the grounds." Cogsworth ordered. "Lumière, you're with me."

"COGSWORTH, WE'RE WAITING!" Beast called warningly.

Nervous, Cogsworth quickly ran down the stairs while trying to free himself from the wreath at the same time.

"Oh, dear…running, running, running…I'm almost there sir, uh, uh…." Cogsworth muttered before reaching the bottom of the stairs. "Mrs. Potts, stall the masters, all right Lumière we're…Lumière? Wait I'm leading! Me first, you second!"

Cogsworth, this time, managed to slip out of the wreath.

"Belle? Miranda?" Lumière called as they went outside. "Where are they?"

"Belle?" Cogsworth called. "Miranda?"

"Belle, Miranda, where are you?" Lumière called as he hopped past the stables.

"Lumière, wait!" Cogsworth called, falling behind.

Noticing the sled and hoof marks that led out of the stables, Lumière and Cogsworth went back to find out where they were leading too. Lumière found out first.

"The Black Forest." Lumière shuddered. "Come along, hurry now!"

"Oh, no." Cogsworth panted. "This is catastrophic!"

"Cogsworth, quit dawdling." Lumière ordered, noticing that Cogsworth was still behind him.

"I'm not dawdling, I'm waddling." Cogsworth retorted.

"Well, don't waddle then, we're in a hurry you lazy old clock!" Lumière retorted.

Back inside the castle, Beast and Harry were waiting patiently…but just as the candle on the table burned itself out….

"Why are we still waiting?" Beast muttered. "MRS. POTTS!"

"Coming sir, coming." Mrs. Potts said as a cart wheeled her in along with a couple of cups, a sugar bowl, and a creamer. "My, what a brisk day. Why, you both look positively chilled to the bone."

"Where's Belle?" Beast asked.

"And where's Miranda and the others?" Harry added in a friendlier tone.

"How about a nice cup of tea sirs?" Mrs. Potts asked.

Beast obviously wasn't in the mood since he slammed a fist on the table.

"Just a spot." Mrs. Potts suggested.

Beast and Harry reluctantly grabbed their cups.

"Forte! Play Belle's song!" Beast ordered.

Forte played very reluctantly.

"You're not singing." Beast added almost through his teeth.

"Deck the halls with boughs of holly, fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la." Forte muttered reluctantly.

"Louder!" Beast ordered.

"Tis the season to be jolly…." Forte continued.

"A bit more tea sirs? Good for the heart you know." Mrs. Potts suggested.

"No, thank you." Beast and Harry said.

"Just a spot?" Mrs. Potts asked.

"No more." Beast said.

"Well there's always room for tea love." Mrs. Potts added.

"I said no more." Beast snapped.

"Oh dearie me." Mrs. Potts said nervously.

"Mrs. Potts, are you trying to distract us?" Beast asked suspiciously.

"Goodness no sir." Mrs. Potts said in an assuring tone before gasping. "Heavens, is that a yellow-bellied double-breasted sapsucker? Rare this time of year."

"Enough!" Beast snapped. "Where's Cogsworth, where's Belle?"

"And where are Miranda and the others?" Harry added, confused.

"Belle? Miranda?" Mrs. Potts repeated nervously. "We can't find them sirs."

"WHAT?" Beast cried angrily. "Leave me!"

Beast and Harry then went into Forte's room and Beast grabbed the magic mirror.

"Show me the girl." Beast growled.

The mirror revealed Belle and I in a sleigh that was being pulled by Philippe and the rest of the team behind us in Rip.

"I will bring them back!" Beast said angrily.

"No! Um, they've abandoned both of you!" Forte said. "Listen to your old friend, won't you?"

Harry, knowing better, ran off to find us along with the real reason why we were in the Black Forest.

After running outside, Harry knew the only way to catch up with us was to fly…but he never found out how the enchantment affected his wings.

"Well, here goes nothing." Harry muttered, letting out his wings…they were black, spiky, devil type wings. "Well this is pleasant." He muttered sarcastically.

Then, with a shrug, he flew off towards the Black Forest.

Meanwhile, we were still making our way through the forest, still searching for a tree. All around us, wolves howled, but Boss's assistants kept them at bay. We soon reached the edge of a frozen lake with a small island in the middle, and on that island….

"There, that's it, that's it!" Chip said, seeing the perfect Christmas tree.

"Oh Chip it's perfect." Belle smiled.

The rest of us were also impressed.

"I've never seen a tree like that before." Josefina marveled.

Philippe continued carefully onto the ice, but Rip and the others decided to wait at the edge.

Cogsworth and Lumière, still following, weren't having an easy time of it.

"Do you see them?" Cogsworth called, having a really difficult time making his way up a hill.

"Not yet, now come along, hurry!" Lumière ordered as he reached the top of the hill; he then stopped to survey the area, but still couldn't find any sign of us.

At that point, Harry, who was flying really fast, flew over Lumière, causing him to spin around.

"Oh, Lumière!" Harry said as he heard Lumière's startled cry. "Sorry, didn't see you there."

"It's all right. You're looking for Belle and Miranda?" Lumière asked.

"Yeah, do you know why they're out here?" Harry asked.

"They're looking for a Christmas tree." Lumière explained.

"Oh, well, no wonder…." Harry smirked.

"Hi Harry, you and Lumière go on, I'll never make it." Cogsworth wheezed as he finally reached the top. "Save yourselves."

Cogsworth collapsed, and then struggled to get back up. Harry facepalmed.

"Ah, it will be summer before we reach them." Lumière muttered, going around Cogsworth and pushing him forward.

"What the…?" Cogsworth said.

Lumière pushed Cogsworth along the hill so that he ended up riding Cogsworth like a snowboard.

"Hold on!" Lumière said as they fell down the cliff.

"Oh dear." Cogsworth said just before they landed in a pile of snow.

They then skied out of the snow pile. Amused, Harry flew after them.

"Allez! Allez!" Lumière cheered as he skied Cogsworth through the forest. "Faster! Faster! I think we finally found a use for you!"

Cogsworth only screamed as they continued skiing.

"Clock-boarding," Lumière suggested. "No, snow-clocking."

Cogsworth's only response was another scream.

"Whatever, ha-ha." Lumière replied.

They soon were heading for a thick branch that protruded over the path, so Lumière leapt over it as Cogsworth slid under it. Lumière then landed back on Cogsworth. Then Lumière laughed and Cogsworth screamed as they skied off a cliff. Harry was laughing too.
