The gang all looked at Gaston who was blocking their path. Belle knew she doesn't like that at all. But Twilight doesn't know him that well.

"Hello Belle." Gaston introduced.

"Bonjour Gaston." Belle said as he took the book.

"Gaston may I have my book please?" Belle asked.

"How can you read this? There's no pictures." Gaston replied.

"Well some people use their imaginations." Belle answered.

Then he looked at Twilight and Spike. "And who are they?" 

"This is Twilight and Spike. Spike's sister felt a little betrayed by her old friends and since Spike came I decided to adopt them a few days ago." Belle told Gaston.

"I see. But if they got a passion for books they I don't appreciate that." Gaston replied as Twilight frowned.  . "Belle. It's about time you get your head out of those books and starting paying attention to more important things. For example: me." Gaston said as he threw the book in the mud and the three blonde maids sighed lovestruck. "The whole town's talking about it. It's not right for a lady to read. Soon she starts getting ideas and thinking and uck!" Gaston said disgusted.

"Gaston. You are positively prime evil." Belle told him wiping the mud off.

"Why thank you Belle. What do you say we take a walk over to the tavern and have a look at my trophies?" Gaston offered.

"I can't. Maybe some other time. I need to get home to help my father." Belle said.

"Ha! That crazy old hoot? He needs all the help he can get!" LeFou rudely replied as he and Gaston started laughing. Belle did not like that.

"Don't talk about my father that way!" Belle said back.

"Yeah! Don't talk about her father that way!" Gaston told LeFou but Twilight and Spike knew he was lying.

"He's not crazy. He's a genius." Belle told them as she and Twilight heard an explosion.

"What was that?" Spike asked.

"Sounded like it came from my cottage. Come kids. Let's see what it was." Belle said as they headed for the cottage.
