These next few chapters will be connected to beauty and the beast. {I DON'T OWN BEAUTY AND THE BEAST!!! DISNEY DOSE!!}

{L I Z Z I E}

Once upon a time, in a far away land, a young prince lived in a shining castle. Although he had everything his heart desired, the prince was spoiled, selfish, and unkind. But then, one winter’s night, an old beggar woman came to the castle and offered him a single rose in return for shelter from the bitter cold. Repulsed by her appearance, the young prince sneered at the gift and turned the old woman away, but she warned him not to be deceived by appearances, for beauty is found within. And when he dismissed her again, the old woman's ugliness melted away to reveal a beautiful enchantress.  The prince tried to apologize, but it was too late, for she had seen that there was no love in his heart, and as a punishment, she transformed him into a hideous beast, and placed a powerful spell on the castle, and all who lived there. Ashamed of his monstrous form, the beast concealed himself inside his castle, with a magic mirror as his only window to the outside world. The rose she had offered was truly an enchanted rose, which would bloom until his twenty-first year. If her could learn to love another, and earn her love in return but the time the last petal fell, then the spell would be broken. If not, he would be doomed to remain a beast for all time. As the years passed, he fell into despair, and lost all hope, for who could ever learn to love a beast?

“Lizzie-san!! Hello!? Earth to Lizzie-san!” Zara yelled as she waved her hand in my face. “What’s up?” I asked as Zara sighed. “Sorry it’s just that I love this book!!” I explained as I saw a little town up ahead. “Is that the town?” I asked as a hologram of Daphne popped up. “Fair warning….um well the book of wind isn’t really in the elemental world as soon as Lizzie enters that town she will be in the world of beauty and the beast.” Daphne explained as my jaw dropped. “THE BEAUTY AND THE BEAST!!!!!!!” I yelled as Daphne nodded as I shrieked and ran towards the town.

“THIS IS AWESOME!!”  I yelled as i ran inside the town i automatically was transported inside a house.

“Wait….don’t tell me….” I sighed as i heard Amber’s voice in my head. “YA! I GET TO MAKE LIZZIE SING!” Amber cheered. I’m guessing everyone went to my head when i went through the barrier.

“Before you go Lizzie, in this movie you are belle so everyone see you as belle.” Daphne informed me as I nodded.

{NO ONE’S POV}

LIZZIE/BELLE: Little town, it’s a quiet village everyday, like the one before little town, full of little people waking up to say…

TOWNSFOLK 1: Bonjour!

TOWNSFOLK 2: Bonjour!

TOWNSFOLK 3: Bonjour

TOWNSFOLK 4: Bonjour

TOWNSFOLK 5; Bonjour!

LIZZIE/BELLE: There goes the baker with his tray like always the same old bread and rolls to sell every morning just the same. Since the morning that we came to this poor provincial town

BAKER: Good morning, Belle!

(Lizzie/Belle jumps over to bakery)

LIZZIE/BELLE: Morning monsieur!

BAKER: Where are you off to?

LIZZIE/BELLE: The bookshop! I just finished the most wonderful story, about a beanstalk and an ogre and….

BAKER: (Ignoring her) That’s nice...Marie, the baguettes! Hurry up!!

TOWNSFOLK: Look there she goes, that girl is strange no question dazed and distracted, can’t you tell?

WOMAN 1: Never part of any crowd

BARBER: Cause her head’s up in the clouds

TOWNSFOLK: No denying she’s a funny girl, that Belle!

(LIZZIE/BELLE jumps on the back of a wagon and rides through town)

DRIVER: Bonjour!

WOMEN 2: Good day!

DRIVER: How's your family?

WOMAN 3: Bonjour!

MÉCHANT: Good day!

WOMAN 3: How is your wife?

WOMEN 4: I need six eggs!

MAN 1: That's too expensive!

LIZZIE/BELLE: There must be more than this provincial life!

(LIZZIE/BELLE enters the bookshop)

BOOKSELLER: Ah, Belle!

LIZZIE/BELLE: Good morning, I've come to return the book I borrowed.

BOOKSELLER: (Putting book back on the shelf) Finished already?

LIZZIE/BELLE: Oh, I couldn't put it down! Have you got anything new?

BOOKSELLER: (laughing) Not since yesterday.

LIZZIE/BELLE: (On ladder of bookshelf) That's alright. I'll borrow… this one.

BOOKSELLER: That one? But you've read it twice!

LIZZIE/BELLE: Well it's my favorite!

(LIZZIE/BELLE swings off side of the ladder, rolling down its track)

LIZZIE/BELLE: Far off places, daring swordfights, magic spells, a prince in disguise!

BOOKSELLER: (handing her the book) well, if you like it all that much, it's your!

LIZZIE/BELLE: But sir!

BOOKSELLER: I insist!

LIZZIE/BELLE: Well thank you. Thank you very much! (Leaves bookshop)

MEN: (looking in window, then turning to watch her) look there she goes that girl is so peculiar! I wonder if she's feeling well!

WOMEN: With a dreamy far-off look!

MEN: And her nose stuck in a book!

ALL: What a puzzle to the rest of us is Belle!

(LIZZIE/BELLE sits on the edge of the fountain, singing to the sheep)

LIZZIE/BELLE: Oh! Isn't this amazing! It’s my favorite because, you’ll see! Here’s where she meets Prince charming but she won’t discover that it’s him til chapter 3!

“So i guess you like the world of beauty and the beast?” Vanessa asked already knowing the answer. “I LOVE IT!!” Lizzie answered. “Did you seriously have to make me sing, Amber!” Lizzie scolded. “It’s called playing the part!” Amber shot back.

WOMEN 5: Now it’s no wonder that her name means ‘beauty’ her looks have got no parallel!

MERCHANT: But behind that fair facade I’m afraid she’s rather odd. Very different from the rest of us…

ALL: She’s nothing like the rest of us. Yes different from the rest of us is Belle!

(Geese flying overhead, one is shot and plummets to the ground. Lefou runs over, holds out bag, and misses catching the prize. He returns to Gaston)

LEFOU: Wow! You didn’t miss a shot, Gaston! You’re the greatest hunter in the whole world!

GASTON: I know!

LEFOU: No beast alive stands a chance against you… and no girl for that matter!

GASTON: It’s true, Lefou, and I have my sights set on that one! (Pointing to Lizzie/Belle)

LEFOU: The inventor’s daughter?

GASTON: She’s the one! The lucky girl I’m gonna marry.

LEFOU: But she’s--

GASTON: The most beautiful girl in town. And that’s what makes her the best. And don’t I deserve the best?

LEFOU: Well of course, I mean you do, but I mean….

GASTON: Right from when I met her, saw her I said she’s gorgeous and I fell here in town there’s only she (LIZZIE/BELLE walks by and away) who is beautiful as me. So I'm making plans to woo and marry Belle

BIMBETTES: Look there he goes, isn't he dreamy Monsieur Gaston, oh he’s so cute be still my heart, I’m hardly breathing he’s such a tall, dark, handsome brute

(BELLE/LIZZIE walks easily through the crowd of people in the town, GASTON struggles to catch up)

GASTON: Pardon!

MAN 2: Good day!

MAN 3: Mais oui!

WOMAN 1: You call this bacon!?

MAN 6: Madame’s mistaken!

LIZZIE/BELLE: There must be more than this provincial life!

GROUP 1: But she's really is a funny girl.

GROUP 2: A beauty but a funny girl!

GASTON: Hello, Belle.

LIZZIE/BELLE: Bonjour Gaston. (GASTON grabs the book from Belle/Lizzie) Gaston, may I have my book, please?

GASTON: How can you read this? There’s no pictures!

BELLE/LIZZIE: Well, some people use their imaginations

GASTON: Belle, it’s about time you get your head out of those books (Tossing book into the mud) and pay attention to more important things…. Like me! The whole town’s talking about it! (The BIMBETTES, who are looking on, sigh. BELLE/LIZZIE has picked up the book and is cleaning off the mud) It’s not right for a women to read--soon she starts getting ideas… and thinking.

LIZZIE/BELLE: Gaston, you're positively primeval.

GASTON: (Putting his hand around her shoulders) Why thank you, Belle. Hey, whaddya say you and me take a walk over to the tavern and have a look at my hunting trophies.

LIZZIE/BELLE: Maybe some other time.

BIMBETTE: What’s wrong with her?

BIMBETTE 2: She’s crazy!

BIMBETTE 3: He’s gorgeous!

LIZZIE/BELLE: Please, Gaston. I can’t. I have to get home and help my father.

LEFOU: Ha ha ha, that crazy old loon, he needs all the help she can get! (GASTON and LEFOU laugh heartily)

LIZZIE/BELLE: Don’t you talk about my father that way!

 GASTON: Yeah, don’t talk about her father that way! (He conks LEFOU on the head.)

LIZZIE/BELLE: My father’s not crazy! He’s a genius! (Explosion in the background. GASTON and LEFOU continue laughing. BELLE/LIZZIE rushes home and descends into the basement)

LIZZIE/BELLE: Papa?

MAURICE: How on earth did that happen? Dog gonnit! (He pulls the barrel of his wast)

LIZZIE/BELLE: Are you alright, Papa?

MAURICE: I’m about ready to give up on this hunk of junk! (Kicking machine)

LIZZIE/BELLE: You always say that…

MAURICE: I mean it this time. I'll never get this boneheaded contraption to work!

LIZZIE/BELLE: Ye, you will. And you'll win First prize at the fair tomorrow.

MAURICE: Hmmmph!

LIZZIE/BELLE:... and become a world famous inventor!

MAURICE: You really believe that?

LIZZIE/BELLE: I always have.

MAURICE: Well, what are we waiting for. I'll have this thing fixed in no time. (Sliding under machine) Hand me that dog-legged clencher…so, did you have a good time in town today?

LIZZIE/BELLE: I got a new book. Papa, do you think I'm odd?

MAURICE: My daughter? Odd? (Appears for under machine with bizarre google contraption on his eyes) We would you get an idea like that?

LIZZIE/BELLE: Oh, I don't. It's just I'm not sure I fit in here. There's no one I can really talk to.

MAURICE: What about Gaston? He's a handsome fellow!

LIZZIE/BELLE: He's handsome all right, and rude and conceited and… oh Papa, he's not for me!

MAURICE: Well, don't you worry, cause this invention’s going to be the start of a new life. (Comes out from under machine) I think that's done it. Now, let's give it a try. (Machine whirs and chops wood, just as it should)

LIZZIE/BELLE: It works!

MAURICE: It does? It does!

LIZZIE/BELLE: You did it! You really did it!

MAURICE: Hitch up Philippe, girl. I'm off to the fair!
