Everything else is prepared for tonight all that is left is the ballroom and to dress the guest of honors. Plumette and Mrs Potts stand either side of Lumiere as they look at the dusty ballroom. Which hadn't been used in three years.

"Ha ha, oui, my friends.
The day we have waited for may be at hand!" Lumiere states.

"Oh, only if that were true, Lumiere" Mrs Potts tells him.

"Aaah... Human again" Lumiere sighs.

"Human again" Mrs Potts agrees.

"Yes, think of what that means" Lumiere tells them. They all thought about what is was like to be human. And how grand it will be to be one again as Lumiere starts to sing.

"I'll be cooking again
Be good looking again
With a mademoiselle on each arm
When I'm human again
Only human again
Poised and polished and gleaming with charm...
I'll be courting again
Chic and sporting again" he sings.

"Which should cause sev'ral husbands alarm!" Mrs Potts shouts laughing.

"I'll hop down off the shelf" Lumiere adds.

"And toute suite be myself" Mrs Potts sings.

"I can't wait to be human again" Lumiere and Mrs Potts sing together sings.

"When we're human again
Only human again
When we're knickknacks and whatnots no more" servants sing as they dance.

"Ah, cherie, won't it all be top-drawer
I'll wear lipstick and rouge
And I won't be so huge
Why, I'll easily fit through that door
I'll exude savior-faire
I'll wear gowns!
I'll have hair!
It's my prayer to be human again" Garderobe sings.

"When I'm human again
Only human again
When the world once more making sense" Mrs Potts and Cogsworth sing.

"I'll unwind for a change" Cogsworth states.


"Really? That'd be strange" Lumiere says.

"Can I help it if I'm t-t-tense?
In a shack by the sea
I'll sit back sipping tea
Let my early retirement commence
Far from fool made of wax
I'll get down to brass tacks and relax!" Cogsworth shouts the last pit.

"When I'm human again
So sweep the dust from the floor!
Let's let some light in the room!
I can feel, I can tell
Someone might break the spell
Any day now!" everyone sings.

"Shine up the brass on the door!
Alert the dustpail and the broom! " servants sing.

"If all goes as planned
Our time may be at hand
Any day now! " they all sing again.

"Open the shutters and let in some air" Plumette and the maids sing.

"Put these here and put those over there" Mrs Potts instructs.

"Sweep up the years
Of sadness and tears
And throw them away!" they all sing.

"There never was a story of more woe than this of Juliet and her Romeo" William finishes the story.

"Can you read it again?" Feline asks him.

"Well, why don't you read it?" William suggests.

"I can't" Feline tells him sighing.

"You never learned?" William asks her in surprise.

"I learned, it's been so many years sine I've read. I don't remember" Feline explains.

"Well here, I'll help you. Let's start here" William tells her smiling as he picks a page.

"Umm, twoe" Feline says pointing at a word.

"Two" William corrects.

"Two, I knew that" Feline mumbles making William chuckle. "Two households" she says as she starts to read with William's help. Meanwhile in the ballroom the servants were still cleaning it.

"When we're human again
Only human again
When the girl fin'lly sets us all free
Cheeks a-bloomin' again
We're assumin' again
We'll resume our long lost joie de vie
We'll be playin' again
Holiday' again
And we're prayin' it's A-S-A-P
When we cast off this pall
We'll stand straight, we'll walk tall
When we're all that we were
Thanks to him, thanks to her
Coming closer and closer
And closer and...
We'll be dancing again!
We'll be twirling again!
We'll be whirling around with such ease
When we're human again
Only human again
We'll go waltzing those old one-two-threes
We'll be floating again!
We'll be gliding again!
Stepping, striding as fine as you please
Like a real human does
I'll be all that I was
On that glorious morn
When we're fin'lly reborn
And we're all of us human again!" they all finish singing with Garderobe belting the last note. Everyone was pleased with all their hard work now they just have to get Feline and William ready. Mrs Potts, Lumiere and Cogsworth go to the library.

"The ballroom is clean your highness" Cogsworth states.

"I didn't ask you to clean it" Feline says confused.

"We thought you and young master William deserved a night to yourselves. With music, dancing and food" Mrs Potts states. "Now come on dear, you both have to get ready" she adds.

"I'm fine with this Feline" William assures her.

"Very well, I'll see you tonight" she tells him as they stand. "Thanks again for helping me learn to read again" she states. William smiles saying she was welcome before Lumiere and Cogsworth lead him away. Mrs Potts lead Feline to her room where a bath was drawn for her.
