Belle suddenly remembered to grab a small snack for her father, and saw a woman with two baskets of biscuits. She quickly passed a man, known as Geston. The most vain man in town. She never took her eyes away from the book as Geston and his midget friend spotted her.

"...No hunter can stand a shot against you, and no girl for that matter." Geston's friend Lafoo chuckled. Geston with his massive body filled with muscle gripped his friend and pointed at Belle...still reading.

"Its true, and I have my sights set on that one."

"T-the inventor's daughter?" Lafoo gasped, Geston was 26, and she only seventeen. Still so small and innocent.

"Yes, she's the one, the lucky girl I'm going to marry-"

"But she's-" He dropped his friend and pushed back his thick long black hair, noticing his unbearable attraction to her.

"-The most beautiful girl in town."

"I know but-" Geston dropped his giant rifle into Lafoo's crowded arms.

"That makes her the best-" He gripped Lafoo again by his collar and held him up to his fcae. "And don't I deserve the best." He assured.

"W-well, of courseImeanyoudo, but-" He dropped him again, and he picked himself up.

"From the moment I encountered her, I said she was gorgeous, and I fell." He gazed at her turning on her heal, then saw his reflection in a pan.

"I know." Lafoo said.

"Not only, but she is also who is beautiful as me, so my plan to to woo and marry Belle." He looked to see her, but she was already returning home. Geston ran to confront her, but the crowd of the morning routine only split him and Belle apart.

"Look!"

"There he goes."

"Isnt he dreamy!" Three tiny triplet girls of maybe 18, nearly fainted from there endless attraction to Geston. All wishing Belle never existed, or just to be her. Geston shoved through the crowd, first asking to be let through, and soon demanding. Just watch, Geston thought, I'll make her my wife! He saw a ladder that lead to the roofs, they were close enough to leap from one to another, and easy to climb on.

"Bonjour the men and women kept greeting, untill they were all together in loud obnoxious groups, pointing and talking about Belle. The girl had just about enough, and she turned around to the crowd. They emediatly resumed there activities, and she turned back to her reading. Then as if her morning couldnt get any more annoying, Geston hopped right in her way.

"Hello Belle." He greeted.

"Bonjour Geston." She refused to look up from her book. He quickly took it from her hands, and she smirked at him. "Geston, may I have my book please." She hated asking so politly, as she would rather curse and walk away with her book tightly at hand. He turned it sideways like a spoiled child and questioned how she could read it without pictures.

"Well, some people use their imagination." She put her hands on her hips.

"Bell, its about time you got your head out of these damned things and payed attention to more important things." He threw the book in a muddy puddle. The three blond girls had been following him, and watched from a distance at his 'beauty'. " belle tried reaching for the tainted book, but he stepped in her way forcefully. "Like me." He grinned, trying to seduce her. The girls all feathered themselves in his seduction. "The whole town's talking about you. Its stupid for a woman to read, soon she starts getting ideas, and thinking." He looked grossly disapointed at her, and she managed to get her book.

"Geston, you are positively loutish evil." She cleaned off her book, knowing full well he had no idea what loutish meant, there for he thanked her and asked her to join him in town and look at his trophies. He put his heavy arm around her shoulders, but she slipped away. "Please Geston I cant, I have to get home to may Father."

"Whats wrong with that girl, she's crazy!" One of the blondie's whispered, another couldn't stop admiring Geston's flexing muscles with every move he made.

"Hah, that crazy old loon, he needs all the help he can get!" Lafoo teased, and Geston began to laugh.

"Dont ever talk about my father that way!" Belle threatened.

"Yeah! Don't talk about her father that way." Geston hit Lafoo over the head with his fist.

"My Father isn't crazy, he's a genius!" She finished, until the chimney spouted smoke with an explosion in the house. Geston and Lafoo couldn't stop laughing as Belle sprinted to her house.
