Gaston's pov
  As I looked around the tavern I sighed. I can't believe this. Belle said that she would never marry me. Which meant never in her life. "Picture it LeFou. A rustic cabin. . . my latest kill roasting on the fire. . . adorable children running around us as my love. . . rubs my tired feet." I say happily thinking of the image in my head. Then I frown and start twirling the knife around in my hand. "But what does Belle say? 'I will never marry you, Gaston." I say with frustration in my voice. I see LeFou look over at the bimbettes. "You know there are other girls." LeFou says gesturing over to the bimbettes. I roll my eyes at the girls. "A great hunter doesn't waste his time on rabbits."
        I sigh once again. I felt upset and discouraged. I feel LeFou look over at me and start into a song.

🎵Gosh it disturbs me to see you, Gaston
Looking so down in the dumps
Every guy here'd love to be you, Gaston
Even when taking your lumps
There's no man in town as admired as you
You're everyone's favorite guy
Everyone's awed and inspired by you
And it's not very hard to see why 🎵

🎵No one's slick as Gaston
No one's quick as Gaston
No one's neck's as incredibly thick as Gaston
For there's no man in town
half as manly
Perfect, a pure paragon
You can ask any Tom, Dick, or Stanley
And they'll tell you whose team they prefer to be on
Who plays
Darts like Gaston?
Who breaks
Hearts like Gaston?
Who's much more than the sum of his parts like Gaston?
As a specimen, yes, I'm intimidating
My, what a guy, that Gaston🎵

🎵I needed encouragement
Thank you, LeFou
Well, there's no one
As easy to bolster as you
Too much?
Yep!🎵

🎵No one fights like Gaston
Douses lights like Gaston
In a wrestling match
Nobody bites like Gaston
When I hunt, I sneak up with my quiver
And beasts of the field
say a prayer
Aah...
First I carefully aim for the liver
Then I shoot from behind
Is that fair?
I don't care
No one hits like Gaston
Matches wits like Gaston
In a spitting match nobody spits like Gaston
I'm especially good at expectorating
Ooh!
Ten points for Gaston!
Thank you. Thank you.🎵

🎵When I was a lad I ate four dozen eggs
Every morning to help me get large
And now that I'm grown
I eat five dozen eggs
So I'm roughly
the size of a barge🎵

👏Hey! Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey! Hey!👏

🎵Who has brains
Like Gaston
Entertains
Like Gaston
Who can make up these endless refrains like Gaston
I use antlers in all of my decorating🎵

🎵Say it again
Who's a man among men?
Who's a super success?
Don't you know?
Can't you guess?
Ask his fans and his five hangers-on
There's just one guy in town
Who's got all of it down🎵

🎵And his name's, G-A-S-T believe there's another 'T'
It just occurred to me
that I'm illiterate
And I've never actually had
to spell it out loud before
Gaston🎵

   After the song ends I sit down in my chair and start laughing. "Oh, LeFou, your the best. How is it that no girl has snatched you up yet?" I asked curiously. LeFou looks down at the ground and back up at me. "I've been told that I'm clingy, but I really don't get it." LeFou says sadly. I look at him and then back around the tavern. Then all of a suddenly I hear the tavern door opens aburtly and in walks Maurice. "Please, please. Someone, Someone." Maurice says frantically.

Maurice's pov
   As soon as Belle and I got home, I drop off Belle and go out the door. "Papa, where are you going?" Belle ask me curiously. I look over at Belle and back at the house. "I'm going to see if I can find anybody to help us." I say quickly and rush off towards the tavern. As soon as I get there, I'm out of breath. I open the door and walk inside. "Please, Please. Someone, someone. You help. . ." I say quickly to anybody and I'm stopped by the bartender, that owns the tavern. "Whoa, Whoa." The bartender says looking at me worried. I look at the bartender with worried eyes and grab hold of him. "You must help me. It's y/n.
     He's got, he's got y/n. She's locked in a dungeon." I say frantically. "Who's got her?" The bartender says curiously. I look at him and then go of him. "A beast! A huge, horrid monstrous beast!" I yelled out. Everyone in the tavern starts laughing at me. "My daughter's life is in danger. Why do you laugh? It's not a joke. His castle is hidden in the woods. It's already winter there." I say with certainty in my voice.
    "Winter in June?" Monsieur Jean says with a laugh. "Crazy old Maurice." Clothide says with a ridiculous smile. I wanted to so badly slap that stupid smile off of her face. "Listen to me!" I yelled at both of them. "The beast is real. Do you understand?" I say with frustration in my voice. I can't believe this, all the people are doing is laughing about y/n's life being in danger. "Will no one help me?" I asked once more looking around at all of the people. "I'll help Maurice." A deep voice says. I turn towards the voice and see Gaston.
   He's standing up and walks towards me. "What? You will?" LeFou says curiously. This should be interesting. "Everybody. . . stop making fun of this man at once." Gaston says gesturing over towards me. I walk over to him and grab him gently. "Captain, thank you." I say kindly to him. Gaston shakes his head like it's no big deal. "Don't thank me, Maurice. Lead us to the beast." Gaston says gesturing to the door. I nod my head in determination and gesture for him and LeFou to follow. "Come."
   I say and I start heading for the door. "Hmm. Oh." LeFou says curiously.
