Victoria sat by the fireplace in her father's antler chair. She's bummed out at William's constant rejection of her advances. Lafue saw this and then one of the other guys want it takes to get her attention. "You have to be like her father of course" Lafue states.

"Tell us Lafue about my father" Victoria states smirking. Lafue always had a way with words and a good singing voice. "What does it take to be the next Gaston?" she asks.

"[Lafue]
Gosh, it disturbs me to see you Victoria
Looking so down in the dumps
Every guy here'd love to have your father's name, Victoria!
Even when he was taking his lumps
There's no man in town as admired as him
He's everyone's favorite guy
Everyone's awed and inspired by him
And it's not very hard to see why

No one's slick as Gaston
No one's quick as Gaston
No one's neck's as incredibly thick as Gaston
For there's no man in town half as manly

[BIMBETTES]
Perfect, a pure paragon!

[Lafue/MEN]
You can ask any Tom, Dick, or Stanley
And they'll tell you whose team they'd prefer to be on

Who plays darts like Gaston?
Who breaks hearts like Gaston?
Who's much more than the sum of his parts like Gaston?

[Victoria]
As a specimen, yes, he was intimidating!

[ALL]
My, what a guy, that Gaston!

[Victoria]
I needed encouragement
Thank you, LeFou

[LEFOU]
Well, there's no one as easy to bolster as your father!
Too much?

[Victoria]
...Yep

[ALL]
No one fights like Gaston
Douses lights like Gaston

[Lafue]
In a wrestling match, nobody bites like Gaston

[Victoria]
When he hunted, he sneak up with his quiver
And beasts of the field say a prayer
First, he carefully aimed for the liver
Then he shoot from behind

[Lafue]
Is that fair?

[Victoria]
He didn't care

[ALL]
No one hits like Gaston
Matches wits like Gaston

[Lafue]
In a spitting match, nobody spits like Gaston

[Victoria]
He was especially good at expectorating!

[ALL]
Ten points for Gaston!

[Victoria]
When he was a lad, he ate four dozen eggs
Every morning to help him get large
And now that he's grown, he eat five dozen eggs
So he's roughly the size of a barge!

[Lafue/MEN]
Who has brains like Gaston?
Entertains like Gaston?

[Victoria]
Who can make up these endless refrains like Gaston?
He uses antlers in all of his decorating

[ALL]
Say it again
Who's a man among men?
Who's the super success?
Don't you know? Can't you guess?
Ask his fans and his five hangers-on
There's just one guy in town
Who's got all of it down...

[Lafue]
And his name's G-A-S...T...
I believe there's another T...
It just occurred to me that I'm illiterate
And I've never actually had to spell it out loud before...

[ALL]
Gaston!" everyone in the tavern finished singing as Victoria took her seat again. Lafue sat on the stool in front of her with a tray. He gave her the food and wine on the tray.

"Thank you Lafue, you always cheer me up and give me encouragement" Victoria states as she takes a sip of her wine.

"Well I have been your attendant since you were small my lady" Lafue states. "Besides your father would have my head if you returned home upset" he reminds her.

"True, but how am I to get William to marry me?" Victoria asks. "I've tried everything and I am the most beautiful girl in the village" she states. "So why does he reject my proposal?" she asks.

"He is stupid and blind my lady" Lafue states. "Maybe you should speak with his mother" he suggests. "She's always telling him to marry and have children, if you win her heart then he'll accept your proposal" he tells Victoria.

"You're right Lafue and she should be back now from town" Victoria says thoughtfully. "It's settled I'll go over tomorrow when William is away, to speak to Katalin alone" she states. Happy with her plan she relaxed into the fur of her father's chair. He was out hunting before winter takes a hold of the forest.

(Smyth's house-hold)

Katalin had just been dropped off home by the walking carriage. She had calmed down knowing that she'd see her son in a few weeks. But she also had new inspiration for new dresses. So she went inside and started sketching designs. However, she ended up getting tired. So she prayed for her son's safety before going to sleep.
