Less than an hour later, Y/n, Agatha, and Tedros arrived at a boxy cottage deep in the Forest, with dark-green brick walls and a terra-cotta rooftop. Dressed in a orange black dress suit, next to Y/n in a tight f/c dress, and Tedros in a dark blue tuxedo with a golden bowtie, Agatha blinked skeptically at the dumpy-looking house.

"Are you sure this isn't a scam?" she asked, turning to Y/n. "Or a murder cottage."
"I'm sure it'll be fine," Y/n said with a shrug, then knocked on the door.
A slit opened and two dark eyes glared through. "Resorvation time?" said an oily voice.
Y/n blinked. "Uhh... I don't know?"
The slit slammed shut and high-pitched cackles echoed behind it.

Y/n knocked again.
The slit reopened. "Reservation ti— Oh. You. Surely you know that Beauty and the Feast is both the most sought-after meal in the Endless Woods as well as the recipient of 'Best Restaurant' from the Everwood Gastronomical Society for the last 265 years straight. Even with the Snake crippling the Woods, we haven't lost a single reservation. Reservations that must be made months, if not years, in advance, though we made an exception tonight for Sophie of Woods Beyond, the girlfriend to the dive, icon, goddess, and personal hero of mine, Y/n, who is having an interview with a gorgeous new knight of Camelot— all of which is to say, we do not have room for stragglers off the street. So please take your poorly tailored clothing and vacate the premises before I call the dogs."
The slit closed.

Y/n knocked harder.
The eyes reappeared, about to combust—
"I am Y/n," she said.
"I'm her girlfriend," said Agatha
"I'm her boyfriend and the King of Camelot," said Tedros.
"And I'm the Queen of Bazoo," the slimy voice said.
Y/n rolled her eyes and lit her fingerglow to prove her identity.
The eyes looked at her. Then at Agatha. Then at Tedros.
"Mamasita!" the voice gasped.

The door flew open and a man appeared, his skin caked in bronzer, his thick, black toupee crowned with gold feathers and his tall, lithe body wrapped in what appeared to be a fur kimono.
"Welcome, welcome, welcome!" he said, seizing Y/n by the arm and motioning for Agatha and Tedros to follow after, dragging them through the door into the resturant, whirling with color and motion. "I'm Masha Mahaprada, Master of Dining and Cheif Visionary Officer of Beauty and the Feast! Tonight's theme is 'Through the Looking Glass: Our Bodies, Our Food, Ourselves...'"

Agatha scanned the place, wide-eyes. Tablecloths made of peacock feathers lay across gold-legged tables, heaped with chicken liver fondue, vegetable towers, and chocolate water falls... Ever and Nevers dined in proximity, clad in the most lavish outfits-- luminescent dresses, swan-feather hats, sequined saris, crog-skin suits, stymph-bone jewelry (even the trolls were dressed up)-- with an enmity between Good and Evil transcended by the shared experience of an extraordinary meal. Red foxes in crisp black tuxedos took orders, magic carpets brought and cleared plates, and hummingbirds swooped in and swept away breadcrumbs. Mini-chandeliers over tables dripped magical gold at the start of each course while fireworks exploded upon the completion of desserts, and a neon cricket symphony surfed the restaurant on discs of white-chocolate ganache, playing a love serenade.
"Now a few simple rules of dining," Masha confided, clutching Y/n tightly.

A chorus of lovebirds, each a different color of the rainbow landed on Y/n's, Agatha's, and Tedros' shoulders and sang a jingly song—
Beauty and the Feast
Beauty and the Feeeeast
Where boys bring girls to give them rings
And a kiss or two at leeeeast
Girls, wear your best dresses
Let the Boy take all your stresses
They'll order for you and make all of you
Feel like the very best princess
Girls, don't talk too loudly
Boys, don't talk too brashly
And both of you— this includes me too—
No politics, they're ghastly
So enjoy your meal
Please try the veal
Don't slurp or burp or splash or gnash
And most important of allllllll...
ALWAYS PAY IN CASH!
