The title of the collection of one shots for Beauty and the Beast is still under revision. If you have an idea for a title name, please tell me!

Disclaimer: I Do not own Beauty and the Beast or any of it's characters.

This chapter will mostly circle around Mrs. Potts and a little bit of Chip and the unknown Mr. Potts

I don't actually know what really happened to Mr. Potts, so I said that he was away from the castle when the spell was casted.

If anyone was confused before when I had this story set to 'TV: Beauty and the Beast', I couldn't find the name under the Movie Section when I was uploading it. But after I looked once more to change it, I finally found it.

Enjoy!

Missing Papa

"Mama, do you know where Papa is?" The young energetic teacup looked up to his mother so early in the morning. Just because she just woke up, the teapot, who was the teacup's mother, didn't want to answer his question. But that wasn't the particular reason as to why she won't answer her poor son's question. In fact, she didn't even knew where her own husband was either. The last time she saw her husband was practically almost… Well…a long time ago! Their last meeting was right before the enchantress turned everyone in the castle objects.

"Papa… is out." The teapot breathed in, trying her best to tell the truth. Certainly, she couldn't lie to her son saying that his father was deceased, or something like that. But, since she didn't know the truth, she just honestly said what she known without making herself look like a fool. Both were silent as they tried waking up inside the cupboard.

"He's been out for a long time now, hasn't he Mama? I don't remember the last time I've seen Papa." The little one broke the silence. Just the tone of his voice made him sound older than he was, which was six years old. This time, Mrs. Potts, the teapot, didn't know what to say to her child. She couldn't lie to him. His cute little face that deformed into a cup would haunt her forever if she lied. She couldn't even bother with the truth, she didn't even know it herself. So really, what was there to say? It was one serious awkward morning that she never experienced with her jolly son.

But all that came out of an awkward morning was an awkward day.

All that surrounded Mrs. Potts mind was the unmentionable Mr. Potts. It felt as if he missed a chunk of Chip's and her life. More so, it felt as if he was just taken out of their life. Mrs. Potts couldn't even bother to ask the others about her husband, because who else would know more than she did about the missing husband? Non one, for sure.

But it was still strange, Mrs. Potts thought to herself while pouring a hot, steamy cup of tea, It's as if it was a coincidence he disappeared right before the spell was placed upon the castle…

It's best not to think too much about it. Maybe things were better this way. Although she loved him with all of her heart, it must've been fate that separated them from each other. Anyways, she has a loving child to take care of now, she has to focus all of her attention on raising him.

But every time she walks down the gloomy, long hallways… she sees happy servants, flirting with one another. The image reminded badly of her missing loved one. Just happily seeing others in love… She couldn't bear the pain any longer. She had to look for him.

As she readied herself to venture out in the wide world to look for her loved one, there was a small problem.

She can't reach the door to reach the outside.

Who was there to ask? Ever since that the spell was placed upon them, they have gotten smaller. Well, that was majority of the castle. If the objects were big, then it was almost impossible for them to move out of their spots. And the only person who can actually reach the door was her Master, but he was too much in a grumpy mood to even hear her plea. Giving up may seem like a quitter's way of work, but it was the only possible thing to do at a time like this. For the teapot knew, he could be gallivanting with other females, having the time of his life.

No, Mrs. Potts thought as she gulped at the thought. He wouldn't do that to me. He's no Lumire. I'm sure he would return, just like any other regular day in our early marriage. She boosted up her confidence and headed towards the kitchen, looking for her small child. Everyone was gathered in the kitchen, almost in a circle, chatting with one another. Gossiping about all the latest controversy looming in and around the castle. She sighed with a faint smile, joining the others and where she belonged.

Although she rather be with her husband, this was her home. Her child, a spitting image of her husband, was being raised and loved by everyone in the castle. Maybe Mrs. Potts will go out and look for her husband when Chip is all grown up. And who knows? Maybe he'll be searching for that castle deep within the forest as we speak. More importantly, maybe he's searching for his loving family within that dark and gloomy castle that will one day blossom once again.

So, what did you think? Love it? Hate it? Leave a review! Have a suggestion for a one shot? Tell me, and you might see it in a future chapter! If there is any confusement, just ask!

This is the shortest amount of words I ever wrote...EVAR. I feel a tear coming on *Tear*.
