Back at the village we see Sweetie's friends Scootaloo and Apple Bloom outside of a tavern since they were too young. But they weren't alone. Accompanied with them are Button Mash and two other boys Tender Taps and Rumble. You see Scootaloo and Apple Bloom met them after they heard that Sweetie was gone for a while. They both felt sorry about that and decided to not leave their side.
"We're sorry about Sweetie Button. We're you two close?" Tender asked.
"You can say that. I actually grew feelings for her." Button answered.
"Aww that's sweet. At least you will treat her with respect unlike Gaston." Rumble said.
"Wait. How do you two know about Gaston?" Apple Bloom wondered.
"It's a long story. We'll tell you later. But I wonder what that creep is up to?" Tender said as they looked through the window.
Inside the tavern filled with many people Gaston had never felt so humiliated in his life as he sat in his chair.
"Who does she think she is huh? That girl tangled with the wrong man! No one says no to Gaston! I fell so humiliated! Rejected!" Gaston said humiliated.
"You? Never! You want more beer?" LeFou asked.
"Why bother? There's nothing that can make me feel better." Gaston said declining.
"Gaston! You got to pull yourself together!" LeFou assured as he started singing along with the rest.

Soon everyone started singing about how great Gaston is while the kids outside can watch in disbelief. They knew something was off about him. But Tender and Rumble have the answer. After they finished singing the kids had enough and went to somewhere where Gaston can't hear them.
"Ok Tender, Rumble. We've been hanging out since you healed our hearts after they were broken cause Sweetie's missing. But you said you know something about Gaston." Scootaloo said.
"Yes. Please guys. If we are going to find Sweetie please tell us." Button begged.
Tender and Rumble sighed as they prepared to tell him.
"Okay. You girls remember when that house burned years ago?" Rumble asked..
"I remember Sweetie telling us about how her old house burned down and lost her real parents. Wait how do you know about that?" Apple Bloom wondered.
"Cause we saw it happen. Many years ago when we first met each other we got to understand and help each other a lot. But one fateful night when we were camping we saw that same house get burned down. And the intruder that we saw tried to run but we caught him. But when we removed the hood off the cloak we were shocked at who did this." Tender explained.
"Who did it? Who killed Sweetie's real parents?" Button asked..
"The intruder who killed Sweetie's parents was none other than........ Gaston." Rumble said as thunder was heard.
Everyone gasped in shock hearing that. They couldn't believe that Gaston was the one that did this. He caused Sweetie to be homeless and it was no clue why Belle was avoiding him. But she didn't know that he was a heartless killer.
"I can't believe it. Gaston killed Sweetie's parents. That monster!!" Apple Bloom shouted.
"I always knew he was a jerk, and a rude person, but I never thought that he was a heartless killer. Why would he do this?" Button asked.
"Because for a long time he tried to get a wife but failed. And every time he fails to get one and learns that her love is not for him he kills the couple. It's been that way for years and left many children homeless but our parents were lucky to avoid getting killed. But we fear he's going do the same thing to Belle." Rumble explained.
"No! We can't let that happen! How do we stop him?" Button asked.
"We have to head to someone she knows well and tell him or her everything about the murder years ago." Tender told everyone.
"We know one person. Her father Maurice." Scootaloo replied.
"Take us to him. He must know about this." Rumble said.
Meanwhile Maurice was running around all panicky cause of the beast he saw and the kids were lucky to catch up to him. He saw them and calmed down.
"Oh kids! Boy am I glad to see you!" Maurice said.
"You too. Listen we have 2 questions. First: Where's Sweetie and Belle?" Button asked.
"Oh it's horrible. They were in this castle with that beast! I tried to tell them to leave the place but they didn't!" Maurice said.
"Ok there in a castle. So second: are you aware of the house burned down years ago?" Rumble asked Maurice.
"Yes. Belle told me what happened to Sweetie when it burned down. What's wrong?" Maurice wondered.
"Well we know who did this. Gaston killed Sweetie's parents." Scootaloo told him.
Maurice gasped. "He did this?" The others nodded yes.
"Oh my goodness! That is just low! I take back everything I said about him! He's nothing but a cold blooded murderer!" Maurice said with hatred.
"Which is why we need to tell Sweetie about this. How do we get to the castle?" Apple Bloom asked.
"Go down that way! I'll join you later so we can expose Gaston for his crimes!" Maurice said.
"Okay!" The kids said as they ran off to the castle so they can Sweetie the truth of her parents murder. But none of them knew that Gaston was watching them and planned something in his head.
