"I work and I slave all day for what? A culinary masterpiece gone to waste." The stove complained in the kitchen.

"Oh stop your grousing. It's been a long night for all of us." Mrs Potts sighed.

"Well, if you ask me, they were both being stubborn. After all he did say please."

"But if the Master doesn't learn to control that temper, he'll never break the……"

Cogswarth interrupted Mrs Potts as Beau walked into the kitchen.

"Splendid to see you out and about Monsieur." Lumiere came hopping into the kitchen. "I am Cogswarth, head of the household." He starts to take his hand, but Lumiere butts in front of him. "This is Lumiere."

"Nice to meet you Monsieur." Lumiere said very excitedly shaking Beau's hand.

"If there's……anything that we……please." Cogswarth shoves Lumiere away from Beau. "……Can do to make your stay more comfortable." Lumiere burns his hand. "Ow!!!"

"I am a little hungry." Beau admits.

"Mrs Potts." A voice is heard and everyone turned to see [Y/n] enter the kitchen with her signature hood on.

"Are the any leftovers, I'm a bit……hungry." She trailed off when she looked up to see Beau who was equally surprised to see her.

"Oh [Y/n] dear, you two haven't met yet. This is the nice young man that will be staying over in the castle." Mrs Potts said to the girl who was still staring at Beau.

"You?!" They both asked in unison.

"Oh, it seems that they know each other." Lumiere said to Cogswarth.

"You're that one girl from the village." Beau said.

"And you're that one boy from the village."

"Wow. I never thought I'd ever see you again."

"Me too." The two kept smiling at each other until Cogswarth cleared his throat.

"Mistress, this is young man you told us of before?"

"Oh yeah, this is……" She turned to him. "I don't even know your name."

"Oh I'm Beau." He said stretching his hand to her. She took it.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, my name is [Y/n]."

"[Y/n]." Beau repeated staring into her eyes as [Y/n] nodded.

The three adults exchanged a knowing look and Mrs Potts broke the silence

"Well you heard them, they're hungry. Stroke the fire, break out the silver, wake the china." The stove roared to life and the drawers open to reveal silverware ready to serve

"Remember what the Master said." Cogswarth said to Mrs Potts who tsked.

"Oh pish tosh. I'm not going to learn the poor kids go hungry."

"Oh all right. For the young man, glass of water, crust of bread, and then……"

"Cogswarth, I am surprised at you. The young man is not our prisoner, he is our guest. We must make him feel welcome here." Lumiere then turned to the two young adults. "Mistress, if you please show the young man to the dinning room."

"Well of course Monsieur Lumiere." [Y/n] said bowing dramatically, then turned to Beau. "Right this way sir."

"Well keep it down. If the Master finds out about this, it will be our necks!" Cogswarth said.

"Of course, of course. But what is dinner without a little music?" Lumiere asked going out the kitchen door.

"MUSIC?!" Cogswarth yelled as the door hits him sending him across the room, flying into a pan filled with flour.

At the dining room, Beau sits next to [Y/n] at the end of a long table.

Lumiere appears on the table and a spotlight shines on him.

"Ma Chere Monsieur and Mademoiselle. It is with deepest pleasure and greatest pride that I welcome you tonight. And now, we invite you to relax, let us pull up a chair. As the dinning room proudly presents……your dinner."

LUMIERE:
Ah, those good old days when we were useful. 
Suddenly, those good old days are gone
Ten years we’ve been rusting

Most days just lay around the castle, Flabby fat and lazy
You walked in, and oops-a-daisie

MRS POTTS:
