Luminiere took Adam to the bath and turned the water on. Adam aasked,"Do I have to get into that ?" Luminiere replied,"Ofcourse yes.. You stink... You know tht ?" The beast glared at him and Luminiere said,"Come on Adam.. Get into the water or else I may have to call Mrs.Potts." The beast got into the water and squirmed.. Luminiere said,"Mrs.Scrubb.. Hold him tight.." The scrub which had come to life held the ebast and brushed through his untamed hair... Meanwhile, Mrs.Potts was getting Belle ready.. Belle took a much needed bath... She came out and saw a perfume walking around and she asked,"Mrs.Potts... Is tht perfume walking, or is it just me dreaming ?" Mrs. Potts replied,"No dear.. You are not dreaming.. I made every thing in this castle come to life.." Belle nodded and Mrs.Potts said,"Viganza.. Get Belle ready. Am going to check on the dinner." Saying this Mrs.Potts went away..

Meanwhile, the beast was still in the bath tub.. He asked,"Luminiere... Whn am I going to get out of this tub ?" Luminiere replied,"Until you get this stink off ur body." The beast grumbled ans stayed quiet.. Luminiere said,"Alright alright. Come out of the tub. Tht scowl doesen't suit you aldready scowly looking face." The beast glared at him and sat on the chair.. Luminiere and Mrs.Scrub got into the job of making the beast PRESENTABLE.. They tried various looks and atlast made a classy look that made him look handsome for a beast.. Meanwhile Belle was no less.. Mrs.Potts came to check on her... She called out her name and when Belle turned to face her, Mrs.Potts was surprised to see a princess sitting there in a beautiful gown.. Belle indeed looked like a princess.. She wore an yellow off-shoulder gown and her hair was tied up in a bun with half of her hair let down... Mrs.Potts exclaimed,"Wow.. Wonderful job Viganza.. My dear Belle. You look very pretty.."

Belle smield at her and said,"Thanx Mrs.Potts." Just then her styomach gave out due to hunger and Mrs.Potts said,"Oh dear. Am sorry.. How bad of me to keep you waiting.. Come along dear.. Let's get you to dinner.." Meanwhile, the ebast was practising how to be nice wid Belle with Luminiere helping him out.. The beast said,"Belle.. You look like a girl... I mean.. You look you but different." He turned to Luminiere who had a glare on his face. The beast gulped ad said,"Hey.. I am trying... Its not like I dnt want to do it." Luminiere smirked and said,"Alright. Its getting late.. Come along..." He pulled the beast along with him into the dining hall.. He made him sit and said,"Alright.. Lat minute instructions.. Dnt be scary.. Be nice to her and DNT MAKE A FOOL OF URSELF.Good Luck." Luminiere went away and the beast was left alone... Thn the doors opened and in steeped Belle and the beast was rooted to his place..

ALRIGHT.. THIS IS THE NEXT CHAPTER.. I NKOW ITS SHORT.. BT AM DOWN WID COLD AND FEVER.. SO JUST A SMALL UPDATE.. PROMISE THT ONCE I GET BETTER, I WILL UPDATE LONGER CHAPTERS... DO LIKE AND COMMENT.. CRITICISMA APPRECIATED...

The beast stood rooted to his spot as he saw the most mesmerising girl enter the room.. She was wearing a yellow off-shoulder gown. It went well with her dark complexion and her hair was left in a bun with some of her hair left down... (WANNA REFER.. GOOGLE BELLE AND CHECK OUT HER YELLOW AVATAR)... Belle came inside with such grace and poise that people would think she was a princess.. Mrs.Potts came along with her. When Belle saw the beast sitting there, she thought of Luminiere's words.. Those words brought a smile on to her face and she nodded at the beast.. The beast acknowledged her and turned towards the table.. Luminiere hit himself from behind the curtain 😆.. Belle sat down opposite him but Luminiere intervened after deciding that the beast was upto no good in this... He said,"Sorry Belle. But this seat is not comfortable. Why dnt u go and sit beside Adam ? We've arranged two chairs.. Do go.." Belle smiled at Luminiere and went to sit beside the beast..

Dinner started and the beast wanted to make some conversation but nothing was coming out of his mouth.. Belle meanwhile was enjoying the delicious dinner.. Luminiere and Mrs.Potts noticed the beast's discomfort.. Luminiere said,"Mrs.Potts.. It looks like Adam had got a frog in his throat." Mrs.Potts nodded and said,"Luminiere.. Its up to us to do something.. I'll go and start a conversation for them.. While you go and get the music ready." Mrs.Potts went in with a tray filled with salad and kept it on the table. She started,"So Belle.. Wht do you do in your free time dear ?" Belle looked up from the food and replied,"Oh me.. Well.. i read books.. I love to read.." The beast looked at her in awe.. Mrs.Potts exclaimed,"Oh.. You love to read.. Adam.. Y dnt u show her your libraray ?" Belle lookes at the beast in surprise and asked,"You read ?" The beast nodded his head.. Mrs.Potts said,"Oh my dear... Wht kind of a question is this ? Adam loves to read books.. He even has a whole library to himself.." Belle asked in astonishment,"A whole library to yourself ?" Mrs.Potts said,"Adam.. Why dnt you show Belle your liraray ? Am sure she will feel comfortable.. Wnt u Belle ?" Belle nodded,"Of course Mrs.Potts.."

The beast got up and extended his arm for her to take. Belle took it hesitatingly.. The beast took her to his library and Belle was staring at the library in wonder.. She asked,"This whole library is yours ?" The beast said,"Ye.. Its my very own library..I dnt allow anyone to enter except Mrs.Potts and Luminiere.. You are the third person." Belle looked at him in surprise.. The beast smiled at her.. Belle asked in awkwardness,"Can I check out the books ?" The beast replied,"Oh yes sure.. Do go on.." Belle went through all the books. The beast just kept looking at her with a smile at her childishness. After sometime, the beast called out,"We need to go back to dinner. It would get cold." Belle came out from under some books and said,"Oh.. Ok.." The beast on noticing the sad face said,"You can come back here after dinner. You can come hare whenever you want.. You can read.." Belle's face lit up and she asked,"Really ? Can I ?" The beast nodded and he gave her his arm to take, Belle took it without any hesitation and they both went back to dinner..

As the dinner progressed, Luminiere came in with sum instruments follwing him. The beast asked,"Wht is this Luminiere ?" Luminiere replied,"Dnt tell me you are blind... These are instuments Adam." The beast rolled his eyes and asked,"Wht are these instuments doing here ?" Luminiere replied,"Well. I was tired and needed some rest.. So U thought sum instruments could make me sleep.. Wht do u expect from instruments.. I brought them here for sum music.". The beast and Belle continued with their dinner while Luminiere started the music.. Dinner finished and both were sitting awkwardly.. The beast caught Luminiere's eye and Luminiere was motioning with his eyes to ask Belle for a dance.. The beast pointed to himself and mouthed,"Me ?" Luminiere mouthed,"Yes you.. Ask her." The beast gulped and asked,"So Belle.. Care for a dance ?" Belle smiled at him and gave him her hand. The beast led her to the dance floor.. He kept one hand on her thin yet long waist and she had her one hand on his shoulder.. They both swayed into the music.. Belle felt warm and said,"You feel warm.." The beast asked,"Oh.. Do I have to move away ?" Belle said,"No no.. Just stay like this... I feel warm.." The beast smiled a little and Belle nuzzled into his warm furry coat..

The beast felt a feeling of warmth surge through him.. He felt complete.. He couldn't place what it was but he felt complete and warm all of a sudden. He wanted to smile and laugh at the same time. He wanted to keep her like this forever. Then he remembered what he was and tried to move away but then he saw Belle nuzzled into him like a baby and he smiled at her.. A few strands of her hair disturbed his view of her and so he ever-gently pushed them away. He wanted to get away from her but the temptation to stay aorund her was too strong. And so he gave into temptation... Luminiere was watching this and he was swaying to the music wid the guitar that was playing 🤣... Mrs.Potts was swaying herself alone.. The other thins were watching their master and the girl dance. The beast decided tht he had to get away from her and called out her name,"Belle ?" There was no response. He called out again,"Belle ?" She moaned and became quiet again. The beast saw her and noticed that she had fallen asleep. He chuckled and liftes her up in his arms.. She fit so easily and comfortably in his arms.

He called out,"Disperse everyone.. Its late.. Let's call it a night." Luminiere was surprised at this change and asked him,"Adam... I can see the old you back again." The beast replied,"Nothing like tht Luminiere... I just called it a night... I did not change. I am still a beast." Luminiere replied,"My friend. Change isn't like a soup. You boil it and it becomes cooked. Change is like a mango. It takes time to grow, develop into a raw fruit and the fully ripe." Saying this, Luminiere went off. The beast carried Belle out of the room and went to her room.. He gently placed her on the bed.. Belle moaned and drifted off to sleep again. The beast stared at her and tip-toed slowly out of the room. Before closing the door, he took a last look at her and closed the door slowly..
