Ash's Adventures of Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas/Transcript

This is a transcript for Ash's Adventures of Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas.

Opening

(The film opens with the villagers walking along the bridge to the castle. It is the transformed castle and clearly takes place after Belle has broken the spell. They are all carrying torches and singing)

Villagers: Deck the halls with boughs of holly, fa la la la la, la la la la. 'Tis the season to be jolly, fa la la la la, la la la la. Don we now our gay apparel, fa la la la la la, la la la.

(The scene now shifts to inside the castle where Chip is being chased by the dog, Sultan. He chases him to the ballroom where everyone including Ash's friends are decorating the tree and room)

Villagers: Troll the ancient Yuletide carol, fa la la la la, la la la la!

Chip: Whoa! (suddenly gets picked up by Ash)

Ash Ketchum: Tag! You're it! (laughs happily)

Chip: (laughs) Hey, no fair! (tickles Ash and laughs)

Ash Ketchum: (laughs) Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey, come on now! (laughs; Sultan barks happily as the boys play) No, no, no, don't! (laughs) No, no, stop it! (laughs until the two boys fall to the floor)

(The boys continue laughing until they see the party going on.)

Ash Ketchum: Hey, let's see who will get to the Christmas tree first.

Chip: You're on! (slides down the banister into the main room)

(Ash races down the stairs as fast as he can to the Christmas tree.)

Lumiere: (putting holly on the table) Deck the halls with boughs of holly. Ha-ha, there must be much, much more holly!

Cogsworth: (Following Lumiere with the food) 'Tis the season to be......wait, what's this? There's too much holly! (gets bumped into by Chip and Ash) Whoa! Slow down, lads.

Ash Ketchum: Sorry, Cogsworth!

Angelique: (Decorating the tree) Don we now our gay apparel...no, no, no, no more mistletoe!

Mrs. Potts: (in the tune of Deck the Halls) Di di di di di di di di....

(Chip laughs as he picks one of the Christmas presents.)

Mrs. Potts: Chip, away from those presents, dear.

Chip: Mama, I found one for me! Can I open it, Mama? Can I?

Mrs. Potts: Well, just one.

Chip: Oh, boy!

Ash Ketchum: (breathes heavily) Whew! He beat me to it! Chip certainly is lively this evening.

Misty: Well, can you blame him, Ash? He's excited that it's Christmas.

Mrs. Potts: It sure is. And thank you for playing with him, dear. It has been such a long time since Chip had a playmate.

Ash Ketchum: (giggles) My pleasure, Mrs. Potts.

Lumiere: It's good to see the boy having a proper Christmas. (Chip opens his present as Sultan growls in a playful manner while shaking the wrapping paper) Not like last year.

Cogsworth: (chuckles) Yes. This is much more agreeable.

Mrs. Potts: Well, I thought last year was quite nice.

Cogsworth: Yes, well, I suppose I... I did manage to save Christmas.

Lumiere: You?

Cogsworth: Yes, me. It's not my skillful and decisive leadership, all would've been lost.

(The heroes rolled their eyes upon listening to the argument.)

Misty: Oh, really, Cogsworth?

Lumiere: Leadership? Ha! You could not lead a horse to water.

Cogsworth: What are you yammering about? (Chip groans in disappointment that he has a pair of socks) It was all my idea.

Lumiere: Your idea? Everyone knows it was mine.

Brock: Guys, please don't fight. It's Christmas.

Mrs. Potts: Heavens. How many times are we going have to go over the story?

Chip: Story?

Lumiere: Until someone gets his facts straight.

Chip: Why don't you tell it, Mama?

Cogsworth: Capital idea.

Mrs. Potts: Well, I don't know.

Lumiere: Come on, Mrs. Potts. Surely, you recall how I save Christmas.

Cogsworth: Tut-tut-tut. No leading the witness.

Chip: Please, Mama. Tell the story. (Mrs. Potts picks up her son and placed him into her lap)

Mrs. Potts: Oh, all right.

Lumiere: Ah, now we will hear what really happened.

Mrs. Potts: Well, let's see. Belle terrified by the master's anger ran away from the castle straight into a pack of wolves. (flashback appears) But the master saved her, they began to be friends.

Lumiere: (voiceover) Ah, ah, ah. That's where I came in.

Belle Teaches Beast to Ice Skate/Forte and Fife's introduction

(The scene changes to one year before the spell was broken. Lumiere, in his enchanted form, slides by. Then Mrs. Potts and her son come in.)

Chip Potts: Where could he be?

Mrs. Potts: Goodness knows. We've searched every last corner.

Cogsworth: (come in) I'm beginning to think he's not in the castle at all.

Lumiere: (peaks out the window and sees the Beast taking a walk outside) Voilà! There he is!

Mrs. Potts: Wonderful.

Cogsworth: (gasps) No time to waste. We must find a way to get them together.

Lumiere: Let's go! Love will not wait!

Chip: Do you really think she is the one? Will she break the spell?

Lumiere: I knew it from the moment I set eyes on her.

Mrs. Potts: If anyone can reach the master, Belle can, such a kind soul.

Lumiere: And her looks don't hurt either.

Chip Potts: (giggles)

Cogsworth: (following behind them as they rush down the hall) Wait for me!

(Meanwhile, Ash and the gang are getting ready to go outside for some fresh air.)

Brock: Boy, oh, boy, oh, boy! It's Christmas Eve! I can't wait to see my family this year!

Misty: And I'm looking forward to seeing my sisters too!

Ash Ketchum: And my mom too.

Littlefoot: And I wish to see my dad.

Ducky: And Mama Swimmer.

Ruby: And my mommy and daddy too.

Chopper: Don't forget Mama and Papa Sharpteeth.

Petrie: And Mama Flyer.

Cera: And Daddy Topps as well as the rest of our families too.

Jiminy Cricket: Well, that is a wonderful thought, guys. But I don't know if the master will allow it.

Bagheera: Yeah. You would need his permission before going to celebrate the holiday with your families.

Ash Ketchum: I’m sure the master would understand about seeing our families. Right, Pikachu?

Pikachu: Pikachu!

Baloo: You’ll have to asked him first, if you want to see your families

Ash Ketchum: Come on guys! Let’s go find Belle and get some skating in.

Chip: Hiya, Belle.

Belle: (Enters walking up the stairs) Oh, hello. Chip, do you know what day it is?

Chip: Well, it's not Tuesday.

Belle: No, silly. Today is December 24th. The day before Christmas.

Lumiere: And what a beautiful day it is, what wonderful day for a morning stroll.

Mrs. Potts: Yes, sir, nothing starts the day like a brisk walk around the grounds.

Chip: Or you could go ice skating? Woohoo!

Cogsworth: Yes, fresh air, exercise, (hurts his back) in moderation, of course.

Mrs. Potts: Come along, Belle darling, the great outdoors awaits.

Chip: Yes, let's go!

(The coat hanger hands her the coat)

Belle: Merci, monsieur.

(Belle sees the Beast pacing on the ice)

Belle: Oh, good morning.

Beast: (Looks up surprised and loses his balance) What? (Falls on the ice with a thud and growls)

Belle: Oh, dear. Are you alright? (Walks over to the Beast)

Ash Ketchum: Beast, are you okay?

Pikachu: Pikachu!

Beast: Oh, um...I fell and landed on my... (looks at his tail) on... on the ice.

Belle: It's pretty slippery.

Beast: Yes, it's slippery.

Belle: This is a perfect day for skating. (Puts on her skates and heads out onto the ice) C'mon. C'mon!

Lumiere: Go ahead, master. It might be fun.

Chip: Go for it!

(The servants run to get a better vantage point)

Cogsworth: Please, wait, not so fast.

Lumiere: Oh la la.

Belle: C'mon. Why don't you try it like this? (Skates around) One, two, three, one, two three...see, it's easy.

Beast: (Tries skating) One, two, three, one, two, three.

Lumiere: Oh ho ho!

Mrs. Potts: Yes, I think this may work!

(Camera pulls back to a dark and torn up room filled with organ music. The music continues and the camera pulls back until we can eventually see Forte, the evil organ)

Fife: Bravo, bravo, encore!

Forte: (Laughs evilly) Fife...you approve?

Fife: Oh, maestro, it's magnificent!

Forte: Oh, come along, it's merely an opera... (Plays a few loud notes and the ceiling crumbles and begins to fall) to bring the house down. (cackles)

Fife: Is there a part for a piccolo?

Forte: Absolutely. (plays high notes and shows a gleeful Fife his music) Solo for fife in "B" flat.

Fife: Oh, I'd do anything for a solo.

Forte: Yes, (shuts his trunk) I know...now, Fife, in the midst of my crescendo, I thought I have merriment outside the window. Have a look see, will you?

Fife: (Jumps over to the window) Wow, would you look at that?

Forte: Well, I think I might. I'll just pick myself and.....oh, what's this? (tugs himself) Good heavens, look! (angry and frustrated) I'M BOLTED TO THE WALL!!!

Fife: (Hesitantly) Oh, right...uh ha ha, the master is skating.

Forte: Skating? Why on earth would he do a thing like that?

Fife: Probably because that pretty girl is holding his hand.

Forte: What?! Belle?!

Fife: Hey, perhaps if she falls in love with him, the spell will be broken, and we'll be human again.

(Forte becomes irritated and angrily plays his organ, which frightens Fife.)

Forte: Trust me, Fife, humanity is entirely overrated. Before the enchantment, there was no need for my particular brand of genius. But now, the master needs my melodies to feed his tormented soul. I am his confidant and his best friend. And I won't let some peasant girl ruin it for me! Fife, see to it that this blossoming love withers on the vine.

Fife: Yes, maestro Forte. (Jumps off)

Fife ruins the moment/Ash learns more about the Beast's past

Beast: One, two, three. One, two, three. One, two, three. One, two, three. I think I got it! (grunts)

Belle: (giggles)

Fife: Hey, down in front! I wanna see! Let me see! I wanna see too! (whistles loudly)

(Lumiere, Cogsworth, Mrs Potts and the heroes firmly shush him.)

Bugs Bunny: Pipe down! Will ya?!

Daffy Duck: Yeah, do you mind? We're trying to watch quietly!

Cogsworth: (to Fife) Quiet. Oh, this is very promising.

Lumiere: Ah, yes, there is something in the air. Could it be love?

Fife: (shocked) Love? (panics) I've got to stop them!

Mrs. Potts: What's that little toot up to?

Jiminy Cricket: He might do something mischievous.

-

Velma Dinkley: Oh, my! Are you both okay?

-

Belle: It's a Christmas angel, see?

Misty: That looks so pretty, Belle.

Pikachu: Pikachu!

Togepi: Togepi!

Ash Ketchum: Doesn't it look beautiful, Beast? (notices his change of behavior) Beast? Hey, what's the matter? Are you okay?

Littlefoot: What's wrong? Don't you like Belle's snow pattern?

Beast: (looks at his own pattern in the snow) This is no angel. It's the shadow of a...

Brock: Shadow of a what?

Beast: (suddenly becomes angry) Of a monster, that's what! (growls and roars as he claws the snow in anger; he then stomps away)

Fife: (giggles) Oh, Forte's going to be so proud of me.

(The Beast angrily stomps back into the castle, leaving everyone else shocked and confused at his unusual change of behavior.)

Shaggy Rogers: Zoinks, man! Like what's with the change of attitude?!

Baloo: Yeah, all we did was compliment on Belle's Christmas angel!

Zazu: I say! How rude! Really now!

Bagheera: Such bad manners!

Grandpa Longneck: Very bad manners, I should say!

Belle: I don't know why I bother. (lays down on the snow) Now he's worse than ever.

Mrs. Potts: Don't lose heart, dearest.

Grandma Longneck: There, there, Belle. It's not your fault. You were just having some fun.

Misty: We'll figure out to see why the Beast lashed out at us when we mentioned "Christmas".

Ash Ketchum: In fact, I'm going to go speak with him right now and straighten this out. I'll be right back. Come on, Pikachu!

Pikachu: Pika! (hops on Ash's shoulder)

Jiminy Cricket: Good luck, Ash!

(Ash runs into the castle and sees the Beast prowl up to the West Wing.)

Ash Ketchum: Hey! (catches up to the Beast) Hey, Beast! What was all that about?! What's wrong with you?! Why did you lash out at us like that?! Hey, look at me while I'm talking to you!

Pikachu: (angrily) Pikachu!

Beast: Go away!

Ash Ketchum: You're hiding something! Whatever it is, you can't hide it forever! And you know it! So, tell me! What is it?! What is your problem with Christmas?! Why do you hate it all of a sudden?! Especially after Belle mentioned it?! What do you have against it that made you hate it so much?!

Beast: (turns around to face Ash) ALL OF IT!! OKAY?! (Ash is stunned; growls and talks calmly) Ten years ago, Christmas was the day when the enchantress casted her spell on me and the entire castle. And since then, the holiday became a painful reminder of how I ended up as the hideous creature I am right now. So, to keep myself from being reminded of that horrific day, I forbad everyone in the castle from celebrating that holiday. And even with Belle as well as you and your friends living here, I will not take part of the festivities whatsoever because of what happened to me that night! (growls and stomps off)

Ash Ketchum: Christmas was the day the enchantress casted her spell on the Beast and the castle? Hey! (catches up) You said it all happened ten years ago, right?

Beast: Yeah.

Ash Ketchum: But that was back then. And this is right now. Why don't you just move on and forget about it?

Beast: (groans in frustration) You don't understand. Christmas is something I do not wish to be reminded of. And I refuse to take part in any of the festivities because of the painful memories I've had from that day! Now, please just leave me alone! I don't want to talk about this anymore! (storms off to the West Wing)

Ash Ketchum: (sarcastically) And a Merry Christmas to you too, Ebenezer Beast. Hmph! What a grinch. (heads back to his friends)

Pikachu: (shakes his head in disgust with the Beast's attitude) Pikachu... (runs off)

(Meanwhile, Forte plays the organ just as the Beast prowls into the West Wing. He looks upon the enchanted rose in anger.)

Beast: I hate Christmas... (growls and enters the room where Forte plays his music; goes and sits in his chair in front of the fireplace)

Forte: The music helps?

Beast: Your music is the only thing that helps me forget. (growls silently)

Forte: Don't worry, old friend. I'm here for you. Just as I have been. Just as I always will be.

(Meanwhile, Ash explains to his friends about what the Beast said to him.)

Ash Ketchum: And then he just shut me out and told me to leave him alone.

Heroes: (saddened to hear about the Beast's reason to why he suddenly hated Christmas) Aww!!!!!

Bagheera: How dreadful!

Grandma Longneck: Oh, dear!

Jiminy Cricket: Oh, my!

Bugs and Daffy: Whoa!!

Daphne Blake: Jeepers!

Fred Jones: Hold the phone!

Velma Dinkley: Jinkies!

Shaggy Rogers: Zoinks!

Scooby-Doo: (whimpers)

Misty: Aww, man! That poor guy! It's no wonder he snapped at us when Belle mentioned Christmas to him!

Littlefoot: Well, what are we going to do now? How are we going to help him restore is Christmas spirit?

Ash Ketchum: I don’t know, Littlefoot. I’m going to find Belle and talk to her. Maybe she can help find a way to restore the Christmas spirit. Come on Pikachu!

Pikachu: Pika! ( hops onto Ash’s shoulder)

"Stories"/Strict Cogsworth/Planning for Christmas

Belle: Why is the Beast such a grump?

Chip: I don't know. He's always like that.

Belle: Even at Christmas?

Chip: Yep.

Ash Ketchum: Hey, Belle. Hi, Chip.

Belle: Hi, Ash. (pets Pikachu) Did you talk to the master?

Ash Ketchum: Yeah. I asked him what his problem was with Christmas. But he said that he doesn't want to take part of it. Because for some reason the holiday gave him painful memories.

Belle: Oh.

Chip: Belle, what's Christmas?

Ash Ketchum: You don't know what Christmas is, Chip?

Pikachu: Pika?

Belle: Oh, Chip, you must know about Christmas. Stockings in front of the fire, tree, tinsel? Presents.

Chip: Presents? Do I get one?

Ash Ketchum: Oh, absolutely, Chip. Everybody gets a present for Christmas.

Chip: Even the master?

Ash Ketchum: Sure!

Belle: Yes, even the master.

Chip: What are you going to get him?

Belle: I don't really know him well enough to know what he would want.

Ash Ketchum: Neither do me and my friends.

Chip: What would you want?

Belle: Well, what I love most in the world are my books. My stories.

Chip: Why don't you give the master a story?

Ash Ketchum: Oh, that's a great idea, Chip! Belle can give the master a book with a story that'll help him restore his sense of hope!

Belle: Yes, you're right, boys. A story. (begins to make her book; sings) ♪When I get to know him

We'll find more things to say

One day I will reach him

There has to be a way

Everyone needs someone

He must need someone, too!

When I get to know him better

Here's what I will do

I'll read him stories

From picture books

All filled with wonder

Magic worlds where the impossible

Becomes the everyday

We'll find a mountain-top

And some moonbeams to sit under

I'll lead because I know the way!

So much to discover

I do it all the time

I could live inside bright pages

Where the words all rhyme

We will slay the dragons

That still follow him around

And he'll smile

Yes, he'll smile

As his dreams leave the ground!

Stories and stories

About mermaids, kings and sunken treasure

Magic worlds where the impossible

Becomes the everyday

I know a tiny place

Just a dot,

Too small to measure

I'll take him there; I know the way!

Stories about heroes

Who overcame their deepest sorrows

They'll put hope into his heart again

To cherish everyday

He'll find a better world

And the strength to face tomorrow

I'm sure that when he knows the way (wraps her presents for the master)

He'll want to stay...♪

Chip: (grunts as he pulls himself off of the bow from the present) Do you think the master will like his gift?

Belle: I do.

Ash Ketchum: Yeah. I'm sure he will once he reads it.

Chip: So, does this mean we're gonna have a Christmas?

Ash Ketchum: Of course, Chip!

Belle: (giggles) Uh-huh! Absolutely!

(Cut to the castle kitchen)

Cogsworth: (sternly) Absolutely not!

Wine Glasses: Why not?

Misty: You too, Cogsworth?!

Cogsworth: Out of the question! Not a chance! Dream on! An impossibility! Forget it!

Wine Glasses: Aww! Come on!

Cogsworth: Suck in that gut!

Lumiere: Mon ami, get in with the spirit. (pushes him) Unwind.

Cogsworth: (his clock hands end up spinning) Oh, dear!

Cera: Cogsworth, lighten up! You're not like the master.

Mrs. Potts: Come on, love. Have a heart.

Wine Glasses: Yeah! Come on!

Cogsworth: (stops his clock hands) No, no and… let me think…

Lumiere and Glasses: Uh-huh?

Cogsworth: No!

Lumiere and Glasses: (sighs)

Cogsworth: This is where I put my foot down. (gets his foot stuck in a pot of glue; struggles to get it off) Wait...Get off...Ga! The master has forbidden (falls backwards) Christmas! (groans as the glasses laugh)

Belle: Forbid Christmas? No one can forbid Christmas.

Ash Ketchum: Actually, Belle, it's true. The Beast told it to me himself when I went up to confront him for lashing out at us this morning.

Brock: And then Ash told it to us when he came back after the Beast went up to the West Wing.

Belle: What?! Are you serious?

Heroes: Yes...

Ash Ketchum: He said that Christmas was the day that he and the castle were placed under the enchantress's spell.

Cogsworth: And he doesn't wish to be reminded of his past and Christmas is a most painful reminder to it. I, for one, do not wish to torture him.

Belle: I, for one, think a little Christmas cheer would do him some good.

(Fife overhears the conversation from outside of the kitchen door.)

Lumiere: The girl is right. It is up to us to do something.

Cogsworth: (grunts) It's not our place to get involved. No, no, no, no! [pokes Lumiere's nose] We just can't mind our own beeswax, can we? Just have to stick our wick where it doesn't belong. (screams upon getting himself burned by Lumiere's candle and falls into a bucket of soap and water, making the wine glasses laugh)

Heroes: (roll their eyes in amusement)

Cogsworth: Oh, humiliating....

Mrs. Potts: Pish posh, I think it's a wonderful idea.

Littlefoot: Yeah, come on, Cogsworth, don't be such a party pooper.

Cogsworth: But the master doesn't want it. His castle, his rules.

Chip: It's not fair.

Bugs and Daffy: Yeah!! No fair!!

Wine Glasses: They're right! It's not fair!

Cogsworth: Don't whine, Glasses. (pouts)

Wine Glasses: Sorry...

Mrs. Potts: Look at us squabbling and bickering. Breaks my heart to see it does and we used to be at our very best at Christmas. Why we used to prepare a feast for the entire castle.

Lumiere: Ah, you could have some stuffed turkey.

Shaggy: Like, the feast is the best part about Christmas!

Scooby-Doo: Yeah, the best part!

Belle: Cranberry sauce.

Chip: Shortbread cookies.

Lumiere: Mince pies.

Mrs. Potts: Potatoes and gravy.

Lumiere: And Christmas pudding.

Cogsworth: Pudding?

Bagheera: (chuckles) I figured you would like that one, Cogsworth.

Cogworth: (chuckles) With-With custard?

Lumiere: What do you think we are? Barbarians? Of course, with custard, and raisins, and brandy and all those things you like.

Ash Ketchum: Please, Cogsworth?

Pikachu: (pleadingly) Pika????

Littlefoot: Even though you're the master's most loyal servant, you're still our friend.

Misty: And we can't do this without you.

Brock: Now, make up your mind. Do you want to help us restore your master's happiness by lifting his Christmas spirit or not?

Grandpa Longneck: And more importantly, do you want to continue to help us find ways to break the spell or not?

Cogsworth: (grumbles) Alright.

Heroes: (with Chip) Yes.

Cogsworth: But if the master finds out about this he will be furious, so everybody keep quiet.

Lumiere: Come on! What are we waiting for? Christmas?

Cogsworth: Good heavens! We don't have much time! It's Christmas Eve!

Mrs. Potts: I'll see you to the dinner.

Lumiere: I'll get some mistletoe.

Belle: We need to brighten this place up.

Lumiere: Belle, I know someone who will help.

Cogsworth: Now, now, wait for me. I'm in charge here, I'm in charge.

(They all head away)

Cogsworth: Wait for me!!

Meeting Angelique/"As Long as There's Christmas"

(Climbing the castle stairs......)

Chip: One thousand one, one thousand two, one thousand three....are we there yet?

Belle: Not yet.

Chip: Boy, there sure are a lot of stairs here! One thousand seven, one thousand eight, one thousand nine.

(Fife follows them up the stairs)

Belle: (Walking around in the attic) Hello? Hello!

Lumiere: Do not be afraid, my friends, it is I, Lumiere, who has come to pay you a little visit.

Angelique: (Bursts her head out of the trunk) Lumiere?

Lumiere: Angelique.

Angelique: Ah, Lumiere. Finally. I thought we were to be locked away in this dusty attic forever.

Lumiere: Ah, Angelique. Mon amour. (kisses her) Your eyes are still lovely after all these years.

Angelique: Lumiere, please, you'll tarnish the halo.

Belle: (clears throat)

Lumiere: Oh, yes, this is Belle our guest. And of course these are also my guests, Ash Ketchum, Pikachu, Misty, Togepi, Brock, Littlefoot, Cera, Petrie, Ducky, Spike, Mr, and Mrs Longneck, Chomper, Ruby and Guido the Mystery Inc, Bagheera, Baloo, King Louie, Buzzie, Flaps, Dizzy and Ziggy, Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Mickey and his dog, Pluto, Jack Skellington and his dog, Zero, Genie, Terk, Tantor, King Julien, Maurice and Mort, Jiminy Cricket, Woody Woodpecker, Tennessee Tuxedo and Chumley. Everyone, this is Angelique.

Angelique: Hello, everyone, I'm very pleased to meet all of you.

Ash Ketchum: We're all pleased to meet you too, Angelique.

Pikachu: Pikachu.

Brock: My goodness, you're very pretty.

Angelique: Why, thank you, young man.

Lumiere: She's the castle decorator.

Angelique: You mean was the castle decorator. I am not responsible for the baroque atrocity. When I was in charge, the castle was full of light and beauty.

Lumiere: Ah, but, cherie, that is why we have come. Gather around, mes enfants. (Fife spies on the heroes, Belle, Chip and Lumiere) We are planning the greatest Christmas celebration.

(The oranments cheer happily.)

Angelique: (angrily) No, stop!

Heroes: (shocked) Huh?

Pikachu: Pika?

Lumiere: What is it, cherie?

Angelique: Why do you raise my hopes... I...I mean, their hopes...only to have them dashed? Well, no more.

Ash Ketchum: But, it's Christmas Eve, Angelique.

Belle: Ash’s right. Without you, we'll never get the castle decorated in time.

Angelique: Ha! Christmas! I refuse to hope for it anymore. I will not be disappointed again.

Lumiere: But this is to be the greatest celebration ever! We cannot do it without you.

Angelique: But of course, you cannot. Christmas takes planning and organization. No! No! I won't do it! It won't change anything!

Ash Ketchum: Look Angelique, I know you don’t want to be disappointed again, but there are more important things in life that would change. My friends and I believed that the greatest Christmas gift of all is hope, love and being together with our families and friends. And do you know why? It because I never give up until it’s over.

Pikachu: Pikachu! (Agreed)

Belle: Ash is right. I believe it will also. You see.…(sings) There is more to this time of year than sleigh bells and holly, mistletoe and snow. These facts will come and go much deeper than snow, stronger than the strongest love we'll know. We'll ever know.

(The ornaments follow Belle into the ballroom and begin decorating)

Belle: (singing) As long as there's Christmas, I truly believe that hope is the greatest of the gifts we'll receive. As long as there's Christmas, we'll all be just fine. A star shines above us, lighting your road and mine.

Cogsworth: (singing) Just as long as there's Christmas, there will be Christmas pud, tons of turkey....

Mrs. Potts: (singing) And cranberry sauce and mince pies if we're good.

Lumiere: (singing) Loads of logs on the fire.

Ornaments: (singing) Lots of gifts on the tree, all wrapped in red ribbons...

Chip: (singing) Wonder if there's one for me?

Cogsworth: (singing) We are due for a feast, where on earth do we start?

Fifi: (singing) I may wear my tiara, you bought me in Monmartre.

Cogsworth: (singing) All the silver will sparkle.

Mrs. Potts: (singing) And the china will gleam.

Lumiere: (singing) And we'll all be shiny as a brand-new centime.

Chip: (singing) After dinner, we'll play games.

Mrs. Potts: (singing) 'Till the morning breaks through.

Lumiere: (singing) Then we'll meet in the garden, this is what we shall do.

Chip: (singing) We will build us a snowman that will reach up to the heavens.

Belle: (singing) It will stay up until July.

Angelique: (Spoken) What are you doing here? Stop, stop, stop. Put me down! Put me down!

(The ornaments hoist her to the top of the tree)

Angelique: Uh, this is ridiculous, everyone knows that the lights go ahead first. I don't want to go all the road up there on the top.

Belle/Chorus: (singing) As long as there's Christmas, I truly believe that hope is the greatest of the gifts we'll receive.

Chorus: (singing) As long as our guiding star shines above.

Belle: (singing) As long as there's Christmas, we'll all be just fine.

Belle/Chorus: (singing) There'll always be Christmas.

Belle: (singing) Then there always will be a time as the world is filled with peace and loooooOOOOVE!!!!

Chip: We're going to have the greatest Christmas ever!

Belle: Oh, I hope so, Chip.

(The huge ornament tree falls down and they begin to scurry about to get to work)

Lumiere: You, on the left, you on the right, follow me. There is decorating to be done!

Cogsworth: Yes, yes, but keep in mind. The master mustn't find out!

Fife: (Yet listening in) Oohhhh, yes! (Rushes away to warn Forte)

The Beast's Curse/The Boiler Room

Beast: Christmas?! She's planning Christmas?!

Forte: Yes... Awful, isn't it?

(The Beast growls in anger and stomps over to his chair in front of the fireplace.)

Beast: Perhaps she doesn't know what I feel about Christmas.

Forte: But she does know.

Beast: Hmm?

Forte: She just doesn't care like I do. She's actually trying to bring Christmas back to the castle. And you know how much we despise Christmas.

Beast: (gloomy and angry) The day my life ended... (growls)

(The flashback of the Beast appearing as the young human Prince Adam is shown. And just as told in the original film, he was spoiled, selfish, and unkind to his royal subjects.)

Prince: Bring me my presents!

Lumiere: Your Highness. Please accept this gift as a token of our appreciation. I know I speak for everyone--

Prince: (snatches the present) Ah, just give to me! (opens his present) A storybook? You call this a present? I hope you have something better for me, Forte.

Forte: Yes, sir. Uh, of course, master. (plays a slow solo)

Prince: What is that?

Forte: Uh, a small piece in your honor, master.

Prince: (disgusted) Eww! I hate it! Forte, that stuff is gloomy.

(Just then knocking on the door is heard.)

Prince: (shouting) Who disturbs my Christmas?!

(The prince answers the door.)

Enchantress: (as an old woman) Please take this rose in exchange for shelter from the bitter cold.

Prince: (scoffs) I don't need a rose! Go away, you wretched old hag! (closes the doors)

Enchantress: (reveals her true form before the prince) You have been deceived by your own cold heart. A curse upon your house and all within it. Until you found one to love you as you are. (she casts a powerful spell all over the castle, turning the servants into enchanted objects) You shall remain forever... a beast. (echos)

(The Prince roars in agony as he's transformed into a beast then the flashback ends.)

Forte: But we come so far since then. We've risen above the tragedy.

Beast: (furiously pushes his chair aside) Where is she?!?!

Forte: I believe she's gone to the boiler room. Or-so a little birdie told me.

Fife: (chuckles nervously) Tweet, tweet, tweet!

(In the boiler room.....)

Axe: Dive! (Chops the wood)

Oil bucket: Hey, come get out of the road, watch it here.

Belle: Oh, excuse me. (Jumps out of the road)

Axe: Alright, you guys, now get back to work. The castle doesn't heat itself, you know! Oi. Well, what have I done for you, lady?

Belle: I'm looking for a log.

Axe: Alright. Logs we have. We have hard work, soft wood, we have it all, birch, maple, pine, oak, oi! Concrete, my head, don't worry, it'll pass. Then make up your mind already!

Belle: It is alright if I just browse.

Axe: Suit yourself, take your time. Me I have work to do.

(Belle examines a log. The boiler begins to overload and everyone stands back to watch it. It lets out steam and cools off)

Axe: Hey, what am I paying you for? Being boring? Do that on your own time. Get out of here.

Belle: Yes!

(She finds a good log. The Beast storms in and hides it behind his back)

Beast: What are you hiding? (Swoops around and catches her log)

Belle: It's a Yule log.

Beast: What?

Belle: A Yule log. It's a wonderful tradition. One log is chosen and then everyone in the house touches it and makes a Christmas wish.

Beast: Wishes are foolish. You made a Christmas wish last year, is this what you wished for?

Belle: No, but I'll keep wishing.....and if the log is burned on Christmas morning.

Beast: There will be no Christmas.

Belle: But...

Beast: NoooooOOOO!!!! I am the master here.

Belle: How can you be so selfish?

Beast: You cannot possibly understand...you have no idea what it's like to lose everything, to be trapped in your own castle to be a...a...

Belle: A prisoner? The only one holding us prisoner here is you. Well, I'm not giving up! (Leaves)

Belle gives Beast her gift/Ash, Belle, and Chip look for a tree

Ash Ketchum: Belle, there you are!

Chip: Hiya, Belle!

Ash Ketchum: Chip and I have been looking all over for you. Where have you been?

Belle: Down in the boiler room looking for a yule log for the Christmas celebration.

Ash and Chip: Oh...

Chip: Anyway, you should go and see the ballroom! It's all decorated and pretty and there's garlands everywhere! I think the master's gonna be really excited when he finds out about Christmas!

Ash Ketchum: And speaking of which, Belle, did you, by any chance, see him?

Belle: Well, yes. And he-he already knows.

Chip: Really? Was he excited?!

Ash Ketchum: And did he finally cool off from his anger about Christmas?

Belle: Actually, Ash, he's forbidden it.

Ash Ketchum: What?!

Pikachu: Pika?!

Chip: But I thought he couldn't forbid Christmas...

Ash Ketchum: (grumbles in frustration) He's such a Scrooge and a total fun-police! Why is he so ignorant to listen to reason?!

Pikachu: Pikachu!

Ash Ketchum: (grumbles to himself) That stubborn, thick-headed...! (groans in frustration and sits in a chair; sighs) I just don't understand him, Belle. What is it that he has against Christmas that made him hate it so much that all of a sudden, he has the nerve to forbid it? It's like he's taken the fun out of everybody in this castle. It just isn't fair.

Belle: (thinks this over) You know, Chip? He can't forbid Christmas. And you're right, Ash. He has no right to take the fun out of everyone just because Christmas is a joyous holiday. In fact, we're having Christmas with or without him!

Chip: Hurray!!! Can we get a tree now, Belle? It's the only thing we're missing.

Ash Ketchum: And we'll help too! Right, Pikachu?

Pikachu: Pikachu!

Belle: Alright, then. Let's go get a tree. (takes the present he made for the Beast) But first,...(shushes the boys)

Ash Ketchum: (gasps) Oh.... (motions his hand across his lips, showing that his lips are sealed)

(Belle sneaks to the Beast's lair and puts his present by the rose)

Chip: Psst...Belle, the master. Hurry!

(The Beast enters as Belle sneaks out)

(In front of the castle, out of the grounds)

Chip: He-he-he.

Belle: What about this one? (Looks at a scrawny tree)

Chip: Um...nah...too skinny. C'mon.

Ash Ketchum: I guess we’re going to keep looking right tree.

Pikachu: Pikachu.

(Beast is watching Belle and Ash out the window)

Lumiere: Oh la la.

Beast: Lumiere...

Lumiere: She is beautiful, no?

Beast: Yes, and I'm hideous.

Lumiere: (Under his breath) Not to mention ill-tempered.

Beast: What? What is that? (Looks at Belle's gift)

Lumiere: Oh, it looks like a Christmas present.

Beast: Grr!

(He storms off onto the balcony)

Lumiere: Oh ho ho. It's for you, master, it's from...a girl.

Beast: Mrs. Potts?

Lumiere: No, from Belle.

(Beast walks over to the gift and begins to open it)

Lumiere: Ah-ah-ah, master, you can't open it!

Beast: Well, why not? It's for me, isn't it?

Lumiere: Because it's not yet Christmas.

Beast: Pshaw!

Lumiere: Master, we all understand how you feel about Christmas, but if a woman gives a man a gift, she's saying "I care about you."

Beast: But I don't have a gift for her.

Lumiere: It is not too late.

Beast: Well, I guess I could get her a little something. (Heads into Forte's room) Forte! Stop the noise!

Forte: Noise? Noise! This is my masterpiece.

(Beast growls)

Forte: Master...

Beast: I want you to compose a song. It's a present....for Belle.

Forte: Belle?

Beast: And make it happy!

(He leaves)

Forte: Oh, but happiness is so......depressing! What's next? Love songs?! Wedding marches?! It's all that girl's fault.

Ash, Belle, and Chip meet Forte/Distracting Beast/"Don't Fall in Love"

• Chip: Um...too wiggly. Belle: Too...wiggly? Forte: (Back in his room) FIFE!!!! (plays deep keys to make thunder sound and scare Fife) Pay attention. I need you to pace if I think. The girl is evil, I warn you. She holds him from my grasp. She fills his head with dreams of love and hope and Christmas. Fife: Well, whatcha gonna do? You can't stop Christmas! Forte: No, but I can stop the girl. Belle: (Back on the grounds, searching for a tree) Chip, this is the last one. Chip: That's not it! That's just a weed, wishing it was a tree. Ash Ketchum: Chip, we been looking all over the castle grounds for a tree and these are the only ones we can find. Pikachu: Pika! Belle: Ash is right, Chip. Chip: But there's more this fashion than that. Belle: It will have to do. (She pounds him into the tree) Axe: Oy, aye gevalt. What a headache I have. Belle: I'm sorry. I'll get a saw. Axe: No, that's fine. I don't want I should put you out. Belle: Oh, alright. (Belle pulls back to take another swing) Axe: You have some oil? I just thought...a little massage.....but if it's not, it's not. Go ahead, what are you waiting for, knock yourself out. You never get headaches, I guess. Lucky you.

Belle: Really. I can get a saw.

Axe: Who wants a saw? I said go ahead with the whacking and the hitting! Who's stopping you?!

Ash Ketchum: (annoyed with the axe's complaining) Hey, be quiet, will ya?!

Axe: (intimidated) Oh, uh,.... Sorry....

(Beautiful music begins to play)

Ash Ketchum: Listen. Do you hear something?

(Silent music is heard)

Belle: What is that? (hears the music as well)

Ash Ketchum: Is that... is that music?

Belle: Oh,... it's beautiful.

Pikachu: Pika?

(Back inside the organ room, the music was coming from Forte's keyboard.)

Forte: And now, for a little Fife.

Fife: (toots real loudly)

Pikachu: Pika?!

Ash Ketchum: What was that?!

Belle: (Outside) Sultan, please, wait!

(She places the ax under the tree)

Axe: Don't worry about me, I'll just sit here. Snow is fine.

(Snow falls on him)

Axe: Perhaps a little wet, but who's complaining?

Forte: Yes, my dear. Come to me.

Belle: Come here, boy. Come here.

Ash Ketchum: Sultan! Here, boy! (whistles)

-

Fife: Ahh! Good doggie! (gets chased by Sultan) Nice doggie, nice doggie! Ahh! Ahh!

Belle: Sultan?

Ash Ketchum: Huh. That's weird. I don't remember this part of the castle.

Chip: P-p-perhaps there's nobody here. P-p-perhaps we should go.

Belle: (Hears Sultan barking) What's the matter, Sultan?

Fife: (Cowering from Sultan) Aahhhh!!!!

Ash Ketchum: (covers his ears from Fife's loud piccolo sound) N'ah!!!

Pikachu: (covers his ears) Pika!!!

(Sultan whimpers in discomfort.)

Fife: (chuckles nervously) Sorry.

Belle: Oh, hello. I don't believe we've met. I'm Belle. And you are?

Fife: Fife. Who’s this boy with that yellow creature?

Ash Ketchum: Hi! My name’s Ash Ketchum and this is my best friend Pikachu.

Pikachu: Pikachu!

Fife: It is a pleasure to meet you Ash and Pikachu!

(Sultan growls at Fife)

Belle: Down, boy, down. We heard the most beautiful music. Was it you?

Fife: (Giggles) Me? You thought that was me?

(He turns bright red and squeaks)

Forte: Mademoiselle, please.

Belle: (gasps)

Pikachu: Pika?

Ash Ketchum: Whoa! And, uh, who exactly are you, sir?

Forte: Well, son, I am Maestro Forte, court composer. And your most humble servant.

Belle: Please to meet you, Monsieur Forte. I'm Belle.

Forte: Yes, the entire castle is talking about you, child. They say you're planning a Christmas gala. Marvelous idea. The merry thing to shatter the master's dark and gloomy past. But you must make this the grandest celebration ever. Have you gifts?

Chip: Yep!

Ash Ketchum: Uh-huh.

Forte: Food?

Chip: Yep!

Ash Ketchum: Yeah.

Forte: Garlands, ribbons, wreathes?

Chip: Check!

Ash Ketchum: Yes, sir.

Forte: Spangles and fandangles? The trinkets, the trimmings, the trappings?

Chip: Yep, we got 'em all!

Ash Ketchum: That's right.

Forte: (grins wickedly) The tree?

Ash Ketchum: (suddenly grows uneasy with Forte's sudden look of evil in his black eyes) Huh?

Pikachu: (feels uneasy about Forte as well) Pika?

Chip: See, Belle? I told ya.

Belle: Well, we found one.

Chip: But it was on the piddle inside a puny.

Forte: (chuckles) But did you look in the Black Forest? There you will find a tree better than any you can dream of.

Chip: Better? We gotta go, Belle!

Fife: Eh...

Ash Ketchum: Out there?! Are you sure, Chip?

Chip: Yes, Ash! Come on, we gotta!

Belle: Chip, we can't. I promised your master I wouldn't leave the castle grounds. I gave my word.

Ash Ketchum: It's true, Chip. And let's not forget that she made that promise on the behalf of her father. So, he would be free from the master's dungeon. Isn't that right, Belle?

Belle: Yes.

Forte: (gasps; feigns his sympathy) Oh, how sweet. A daughter sacrificing her own freedom to save her dear, old father's life. Such a noble and heroic thing to do.

Belle: Thank you, Monsieur. But it really wasn't that personal.

Forte: That's alright. And you know what? There's a profound lesson here. Keeping your word and sacrificing your freedom for your loved ones is much more important than bringing joy to another.

Belle: You're twisting what we said.

Ash Ketchum: (suspiciously) Yeah...

Forte: Not at all. I agree with you. Look after yourself. Let the master do the same. Never mind that the tree was always his favorite part of Christmas.

Chip: (pleadingly) Please, Belle? Please???

Ash Ketchum: I don't know about this, Belle. The last time you ran out into the Black Forest, you were attacked by a large pack of hungry wolves. Remember?

Belle: Yes, Ash. And you're right. It looks dangerous.

Forte: (chuckles) Mademoiselle, you are in more danger in this very room. I assure you.

Belle: Alright.

Chip: Yes!

Belle: We'll take Philippe. If we hurry, we can be back by nightfall.

Chip: Hurray!!

Sultan: (barks happily)

Belle: Au Revoir, Monsieur Forte. You'll keep my secret, won't you?

Forte: Of course. The master will remain completely in the dark.

Belle: Au Revoir, Fife.

Fife: (heavenly) Au Revoir....

(Outside, Ash stops and looks back at the organ room.)

Ash Ketchum: (uneasily) Hmm.... Something bugs me about that pipe organ, Pikachu. And whatever it is, I don't like it.

Pikachu: (uneasily) Pikachu....

(Ash leaves to rejoin Belle. Meanwhile, back in the organ room....)

Forte: Fife! I want you to follow her. Make sure they don't...come...back!

Fife: Well, yeah, but, uh, Maestro, she's so nice.

Forte: When you're finished fawning, Fife, perhaps you can recommend someone else to play your solo? (opens his chest)

Fife: No! I'm going! I'm going! (leaves)

(Ash finishes strapping Philippe up to a sleigh.)

Ash Ketchum: Phew! Finished. (turns to Belle as she and Chip prepare to board the sleigh)

Belle: You ready, Chip?

Chip: I sure am!

Belle: Alright, let's get going! (but just as she was about to go, she takes notice of Ash looking a bit sad and worried) I'll be right back. (walks up to Ash) What's wrong, Ash? Is everything alright?

Ash Ketchum: No, no, everything's fine.

Pikachu: (annoyed and generates sparks just to imitate him) Pika...!

Ash Ketchum: (becomes scared with Pikachu's sparks) Okay, maybe not everything's fine. Belle, are you and Chip sure it's safe to go along with Forte's idea? How do we even know we can trust him?

Belle: What do you mean?

Ash Ketchum: Well, when Pikachu and I look at him during our conversation, we saw something so... I-I-I don't know. Something... scary. And it made us feel very uncertain about his servitude with the master.

Belle: Oh, I see. That almost sounds like how you thought about Gaston. But different.

Ash Ketchum: Exactly.

Belle: Ash, I might not trust Forte's idea either. But Chip and I are more willing to restore the master's Christmas spirit than any else is. Look, I promise. Once we return with the tree, we'll be on to Forte. For nothing's going to keep us from having a very Merry Christmas in the master's castle.

Ash Ketchum: Really? You hope so?

Belle: Yes, Ash. I hope so. Now, how about you go help your friends finish the preparations while I'm away with Chip? And if Forte does anything suspicious during our trip, you'll let me know, okay?

Ash Ketchum: Okay.

Belle: Good. (kisses Ash) We'll be back before nightfall. See you later.

Ash Ketchum: Bye, Belle!

Belle: (gets into the sleigh) Let's go, Philippe! (cracks the reins)

(Philippe neighs and drives the sleigh off into the Black Forest, leaving Ash and Pikachu behind all alone.)

Pikachu: Pika...

Ash Ketchum: It's okay, Pikachu. She said they'll be back before nightfall. I just hope they'll stay away from those savage wolves out there.

Jiminy Cricket: Why so glum, Ash?

Ash Ketchum: Huh? Oh, hey, Jiminy. Well, Belle, Chip and I were trying to look for a suitable Christmas tree for the celebration in the royal garden. But during our search, we met this really spooky pipe organ named Forte in the West Wing, who is also the castle's court composer. And yet, he somehow managed to convince Belle to go out into the Black Forest with Chip to find the perfect tree. Which would somehow break the Beast's promise to stay in the castle on the behalf of her father's freedom.

Jiminy Cricket: Oh, I see. And why didn't you go out into the Black Forest with her?

Ash Ketchum: Well, you see, I didn't go with her into the Black Forest because I just didn't trust him, Jiminy.

Jiminy Cricket: Oh...

Ash Ketchum: You should've been there. He was very menacing looking when he stared down at us. And from that eerie look in his black eyes, Pikachu and I noticed something scary about them. Whatever it was, neither of us didn't like it. So, we stayed behind to finish the preparations and also keep a sharp eye on Forte on what he's planning on doing.

Jiminy Cricket: Well, son, you trusted your instincts. For you knew that there was something wrong with his idea and you chose to stay behind in order to protect Belle's relationship with the Beast. And how you thought about her poor, old father, Maurice, that was pretty noble. I'm very proud of you.

Ash Ketchum: Thanks, Jiminy. (looks up at the West Wing) Though I am mostly concerned about Forte's loyalty and servitude to the master. (sighs) I just hope he doesn't do any dangerous that'll surely endanger Belle's relationship with him. Because if he does, well, who knows what'll happen next.

Jiminy Cricket: Well, we can only hope that nothing bad happens. That's for sure.

Pikachu: Pika...

(Meanwhile, the Beast, in his ballroom attire, rips off a tattered curtain and uses it as a tablecloth. He then brushes off the dust to make it look pretty.)

Beast: Cogsworth!

Cogsworth: Oh, dear! Yes, coming, sir! Coming!

Beast: (pulling up a chair) Cogsworth!

Cogsworth: Running, running! Almost there! You bellowed, sir?

Beast: Find Belle. I-I-... Well, I... (sighs) She has to hear a song.

Cogsworth: Yes, sir! Right away, sir! I-I-... (pauses and then becomes happy) Splendid. Yes, wha-? Splendid! (laughs with happiness and goes to look for Belle) Belle? Belle? Where is she? Belle?

Bagheera: Cogsworth? What are you doing?

Cogsworth: I'm looking for Belle. The master wants to see her because he's got a song he wants her to hear.

Baloo: Oh, that's wonderful!

Misty: I guess he's finally getting into the Christmas spirit after all.

Brock: If you want, we can help you look for Belle.

(Meanwhile, some of Ash's friends continue to prepare for the Christmas preparation.)

Bugs Bunny: Careful. Nice and easy now.

Lumiere: Too fast! Get out of the way! Stop!

Jack Skellington: Whoa! (grabs the lever) Watch it.

Angelique: Huh! Amateurs.

Cogsworth: Belle? (gets caught into a wreath) Excuse me? Hello. Has anyone seen Belle? We can't find her anywhere (Ash and Pikachu arrive at the scene, but they overhear the conversation) and the master is depending to see her now. He's got a song he wants her to hear.

Lumiere: (lights up the candles on a chandelier) Oh ho, se magnifique!

Ash Ketchum: The master has a Christmas song for Belle to hear?

Mrs. Potts: Last I saw her; she was going with Ash and Chip to look for a Christmas tree.

Grandma Longneck: In fact, none of us saw her since this morning.

Heroes: (chatter in agreement)

Cogsworth: (grunts as he pulls himself off the Christmas decorations) Right. We must conduct a search of the grounds. Lumiere, you're with me.

Ash Ketchum: (grows worried about Belle and Chip and he decides to participate in the search as well) I'm going too!

Heroes and castle servants: Huh?

Littlefoot: Ash?

Cera: What are you doing here?

Daphne Blake: We all thought you were with Belle.

Ash Ketchum: I'll explain later. (sighs) Look, Belle is our friend, and so is Chip. But I'm just as worried about her as everyone else is. And I think I know how she ended up missing.

Shaggy Rogers: Like, you do?

Scooby-Doo: How?

Ash Ketchum: Well-Well, let's just say that she might have been led astray by- (pauses for a brief moment) by someone in this castle. And that certain someone could be---could be one of the master's servants.

Castle servants: (gasps in horror; chatter in question as to who would commit treachery on the castle)

(Ash's friends look at each other in confusion about what their leader was talking about.)

Misty and Brock: (confused) What?!

Mrs. Potts: My word! One of the master's servants plotting to get rid of Belle?! Are you sure about that, Ash?!

Ash Ketchum: I don't know, Mrs. Potts.

Angelique: Ooh-la-la! That is terrible! Who in the world would dare presume in their hearts to do something like that?!

Lumiere: I-I-I don't understand! This castle has had the most loyal and trustworthy servants for many generations! Nobody has ever committed horrendous acts of treachery against the master and his royal family in the castle before! Not even since it was built! Why start now?! Who would dare threaten Belle and the master's love life?! Who would want to get rid of Belle and prevent us from breaking the spell, so we'd never be human again?!

Cogsworth: Who would dare commit such treachery against the master and the entire castle?! Who is he?! Where is he?!

Ash Ketchum: I'd love to tell you who it is, you guys, but that isn't important right now. We need to focus on finding Belle before the master finds out she's missing.

Beast: (V.O.) Cogsworth, I'm waiting!

Cogsworth: (begins running down the stairs) Oh, dear! Oh, running, running! I'm almost there, sir! Ahh! (goes over to Mrs. Potts) Mrs. Potts, stall the master. Alright, Lumiere. Lumiere, wait! I'm leading! Me first, you second! (shakes the wreath off)

Ash Ketchum: Come on, you guys. We gotta go find Belle! Some of you stay here and keep an eye on the master.

(Later, Lumiere, Cogsworth, and some of our heroes along with Ash, Misty, Pikachu, and Brock are searching for Belle.)

Lumiere: Belle? Belle? Where is she?

Cogsworth: Belle? Belle?

Lumiere: Belle, where are you?

Cogsworth: Lumiere, wait!

Ash Ketchum: Belle?

Misty: Belle?

Bagheera: Belle? You there?

Jack Skellington: Belle?

Littlefoot and Cera: Belle?

Ash Ketchum: Talonflame, come out here!

Brock: You too, Crobat!

(Ash send out Talonflame and Brock send out Crobat)

-

-

-

Lumiere: Cogsworth, quit dawdling!

Cogsworth: I'm not dawdling, I'm waddling!

Lumiere: Well, don't waddle then! We're in a hurry, you lazy old clock!

Ash Ketchum: Come on, you two, let's go!

(As Ash and some of his friends go off to search for Belle and Chip, the Beast is making himself look handsome for hi date with Belle and continues to wait patiently for her to come. But minutes turn into hours and he's starting to lose his patience.)

Beast: Why am I still waiting? (shouts) MRS. POTTS!!!

Mrs. Potts: (bursts in with her cart) Coming, sir! Coming! What a brisk day! Why, you look positively chilled to the bone.

Beast: Where's Belle?

Mrs. Potts: Have about a nice cup of tea, sir. Just a spot.

(Beast picks up a cup and looks at a door.)

Beast: Forte, play Belle's song!

(Forte plays Deck the Halls on the organ. Beast takes a sip and then, he notices Forte is not singing.)

Beast: Hot. (to Forte) You're not singing!

(Forte starts over and sings.)

Forte: (singing) Deck the halls with boughs of holly Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

Beast: A bit louder!

Forte: 'Tis the season to be…

(As Forte sings, Mrs. Potts talks to the Beast.)

Mrs. Potts: A bit more tea, sir? Good for the heart, you know.

Beast: No, thank you.

Mrs. Potts: Just a spot?

Beast: No more.

Mrs. Potts: Well, there's always room for tea, love.

Beast: I said, "No more".

Mrs. Potts: Oh, dearie me!

Beast: Mrs. Potts, are you trying to distract me?

Mrs. Potts: Goodness, no, sir. (notices something at the window; gasps] Heavens. Is that a yellow-bellied double-breasted sapsucker? Rare this time of year.

Beast: Enough! Where's Cogsworth?! Where's Belle?!

Mrs. Potts: Belle? We can't find her, sir.

(The Beast is mad at this.)

Beast: WHAT!? Leave me!

(Beast goes to the room where Forte is, and he angrily picks up his magic mirror.)

Beast: (growls) Show me the girl.

(The Beast sees that Belle is on a sleigh to find the best tree. The beast is angry by this.)

Beast: I will bring her back!

Forte: No! Um, she's abandoned you.

(The beast falls for Forte's lie and growls.)

Forte: Listen to your old friend, won't you? Have I ever steered you wrong? Led you astray? No. But the girl… (begins singing as he creates illusions with his powers)

The quickest way to break your heart

Make you depressed and ill

Is to get tangled up inside

The side effects could kill

All passion is a waste of time

A deadly game pour vous

I am your friend, your cher ami

I wouldn't lie to you

If you must love someone, may I suggest

You love yourself!

Just think it through

You'll never leave, and you will find

You'll get more rest

You'll always feel as good as new

Your freedom is the most important thing, my friend

You must be strong, you mustn't bend

Don't talk for hours

Don't send flowers

Don't write poems

Don't sing songs and dance

Beneath the stars

That shine above

Don't fall in love

(speaks) Oh, don't do it!

As soon as your heart rules your head

Your life is not your own

It's hell when someone's always there

It's bliss to be alone

And love of any kind is bad

A dog, a child, a cat

They take up so much precious time

Now, where's the sense in that?

Love takes the wildest heart and makes it tame

If you're turned on, then just turn off

Emotions are a thing all great men overcame

Please, don't make this catastrophe

Don't get attached to anyone or anything

There's nothing worse than things that cling

You'll go to pot

You'll turn to drink

You'll never rest

You'll end up mad, and

Looking like some

Poor tormented dove

Don't fall in love

Don't-fall-in love!

(Completely possessed and mind-controlled by Forte, Beast is driven with uncontrolled madness! Now, having gone totally insane with anger, he quickly grabs his cape and makes a run to retrieve Belle from the Black Forest. Meanwhile, in the dining room, Angelique is keeping guard with the dinner table all set up for the celebration.)

Angelique: No, no, no, no, no, no, no. (removes some holly from a bell) They can't mix bells with holly. Still, I have to admit, not bad for amateurs.

(Suddenly, Angelique gets spooked by the Beast's loud angry roar! Up from the stairway, the mind-controlled, enraged Beast prowls down the stairs and angrily destroys the entire dinner table! He smashes the chair and slashes through the tablecloth before heading out to get Belle. Angelique, barely surviving the Beast's assault, emerges from the rubble.)

Angelique: (sadly) I knew this was hopeless...

(Just then, Terk, Tantor, Velma, Fred, Daphne, the Vultures, Grandpa and Grandma Longneck, Tennessee Tuxedo, Chumley, Ttark, Woody Woodpecker, King Julien, Maurice, Mort, and Genie come in and were deeply horrified at the sight of what happened.)

Fred Jones: What happened here?!

Angelique: (sighs sadly) It was the master...

(They gasp in horror and look at each other in worry. Then they turn to the window with worried looks.)

Grandma Longneck: Oh, good heavens!

Velma Dinkley: I can't believe I'm saying this, but I believe he's finally lost it.

Grandpa Longneck: He's gone mad!

Terk: This is not good, guys. Definitely not good at all...

Genie: I'd better go and warn Ash and the others right away before things get out of hand! (disappears quickly)

Daphne Blake: Please hurry, Genie!

Belle and Chip look for the Perfect Tree/Belle in Trouble

-

Cogsworth: Do any of you see her?

Ash Ketchum: No, Cogsworth. Not yet.

Brock: Now, come on! Let's go!

(Lumiere and our heroes reach the top of the hill, but Cogsworth is far behind.)

Cogsworth: (breathes heavily) You all go on! I'll never make it.

Bagheera: Oi vey...

Misty: He's such a baby. Isn't he?

Jack Skellington: A very, strict baby if you ask me.

Cogsworth: (grunts and sneezes as he reaches the top) Save yourselves. (falls on his face into the snow from exhaustion)

Ash Ketchum: (groans in frustration)

Pikachu: Pikachu...

Lumiere: Ah, it will be summer before we reach them.

Ash Ketchum: You said it, Lumiere. (goes over to a hallow log) You want something done, you gotta do it yourself. (pulls the log downward and pushes to the group) Come on, you two, get in. (grabs Lumiere and Cogsworth) Let's go, Pikachu.

Pikachu: Pika. (climbs in)

Bagheera: Whatever are you doing, Ash?

Ash Ketchum: Going for a little sleigh ride.

Heroes: Huh?

(Ash starts pushing the hallow log.)

Cogsworth: What the?!

(Ash quickly hops in before letting the log fly off down the hill.)

Cogsworth: Whoa!!

Ash Ketchum: Yahoo-hoo!!!

Pikachu: Pika!!

Lumiere: Allô!

Cogsworth: Oh, dear!

(They plow through a pile of snow and continue onward.)

Ash Ketchum: Yeah-ha-ha-ha!!! Whoo-hoo!!!

Lumiere: Alley! Alley! Hoo-hoo! Faster, faster! I think we finally found a use for your idea, Ash! Log boarding! No! Snow logging! Whatever!

Ash Ketchum: Whoa! Hold that thought, Lumiere! (leaps the log over an upcoming fallen tree) Yehaw!

Cogsworth: Whoo!

Lumiere: Aye!

Ash Ketchum: Hold on tight!

(The log flies over a cliff and continues downward.)

Cogsworth: (screams frantically)

Ash Ketchum: Yaaaahoo-hoo-hoo!!!

Pikachu: Pika, Pika!!!

Lumiere: Whooaaa-ha-ha!!!

Misty: Wow!! Look at them go!

Baloo: Oh, I get it! They're finding Belle by tobogganing their way towards her!

Brock: That's a brilliant idea! A little weird, but still brilliant!

Bagheera: Well, don't just stand there! Grab something sturdy and let's get going!

(Our heroes quickly went to find sturdier tree barks or logs to join Ash in tobogganing their way to Belle. Meanwhile, Belle and Chip are at the tree, planning to cut it down.)

Chip: It's the best tree ever!

Belle: Chip, you're right.

Axe: Merry Christmas! And a Happy Hanukah!

Belle: We better hurry. It's getting very stormy. (begins chopping down the tree)

Axe: Doi! Doi! Again with the chopping.

Fife: Oh, I have to do something. Forte's counting on me!

Chip: Timbeeeeeeerrr!!!

Belle: Take it away, Philippe.

Fife: Oh, dear!

(Fife tries to hold the sleigh back, but goes flying off it)

Belle: Fife?

Fife: Uh, hi, Belle. Nice tree.

Belle: What are you doing way out here?

Fife: Ah, nothing. I was just a....walking. I mean, I love the bitter cold.

(He begins tooting, which upsets Philippe and causes him to break the ice)

Belle: Philippe! Oh, dear!

Chip: The tree, Belle! We're gonna lose the tree! (the tree's rope breaks) Whoa, whoa, whoa-ahhh! (gets thrown overboard)

Belle: Chip! (jumps out of the sleigh and hops onto several patches of ice) Where is he?

Chip: (being dragged underwater) Whoa! Whoa!

Chip: (Muffled) HEEELLLPPP!!!

(Belle sees him and uses the axe to chop the ice. She jumps into the freezing lake after him. She catches him)

( Meanwhile our heroes arrive at the lake and they saw Philippe.)

Jack Skellington: Hey, look!

Misty: That’ s Philippe!

Brock: Philippe! Are you alright? (grabs onto the horse's reins and helps him back to shore)

Ash Ketchum: Where's Belle and Chip? Where are they, Philippe?

Misty: What happened?

Bagheera: (sees Fife struggling to shore) You there! Where's Belle and Chip?!

Fife: They’re at the lake and the ice is cracking.

Littlefoot: We have to save them before they drowned.

Cera: I’m with you Littlefoot. Let’s go!

Lumiere: Hold on, chère! I will save you!

Ash Ketchum: Hang on, Belle and Chip, we're coming!

Cogsworth: Oh, dear!

Fife: Oh, no! Oh, gosh! Oh, no! Oh, gosh! Oh, no! Oh, gosh!

Littlefoot: Where are they?! Does anyone see them?!

Petrie: No!

Shaggy Rogers: Zoinks! I can't see a thing through this ice! It's so foggy!

Ash Ketchum: I can't see anything either!

(Fife spots her underneath the ice and toots. Ash rush over to Fife.)

Ash Ketchum: Guys, I found them!

Axe: (rushes over to Fife and chops the ice, freeing Belle) Oi, oi, oi, oi!

(Belle emerges from underneath the ice)

Ash Ketchum: Belle!

Jack Skellington: Good heavens! Are you alright?!

Chip: I think so.

Belle: Oh, Chip, thank goodness you're safe.

Chip: I wasn't scared.

(Ash and his friends laugh heartedly. But then suddenly underwater, the rope from the tree tangled up Belle's foot and started dragging her back down underwater.)

Belle: Ahh! Oh, no! Help!

Ash Ketchum: Belle! (grabs her hand)

Littlefoot: Hang on!

Misty: We'll save you!

Brock: Come on, everyone, pull!

(Ash, his friends, Cogsworth, Chip, and Lumiere pulled and tugged with everything they can until they lost their grip. Just then, as fast as lightning, the gang hear a growling and roaring sound. It was the Beast! He took everyone by surprise as he comes running by with a furious look on his face. Blinded with pure rage and anger in his eyes, he dove into the ice, swam towards Belle, comes back up while holding the unconscious girl in his arms, and started to carry her back to the castle.)

Chip: Belle!

(Though everyone was happy that Belle was safe, their happiness turns to worry and fear when they notice the Beast is still angry.)

Ash Ketchum: (looks at the Beast's eyes and noticed something isn't right with them; in his thoughts) Something's wrong with his eyes.

Genie: (reappears at the icy lake; gasps upon seeing the angry Beast carrying Belle) Oh, no!! I'm too late!!

Fife: (gasps)

(Lumiere protects Chip from nearly getting stomped on by the extremely enraged Beast as he carries Belle back to the castle.)

Beast: (rudely pushes Ash and his friends aside) Out of my way!

(Ash and his friends are deeply shocked at the Beast's rudeness as he continues to furiously carry Belle back to his castle while Philippe follows.)

Misty: Well, that was rude! What's gotten into him?!

Jack Skellington: I really don't know. I've never seen him quite that mad before.

Shaggy Rogers: Like neither have we. Right, Scoob?

Scooby-Doo: Yeah.

Fife: (deeply horrified at what just happened with Belle) Oh, no... What have I done? (starts crying) It's all my fault.

Lumiere: We all share some blame, mon ami. For daring to hope for a Christmas.

Genie: (reappears before the gang)

Ash Ketchum: Genie, why are you here? What happened?

Genie: It's terrible, Ash. The Beast has destroyed the dinner table and the Christmas decorations. (they all gasp) I was going to tell you before, but it looks like he beat me to it. (sighs sadly) Velma believes that the master's finally falling apart. He's blinded with insane anger. And he won't stop until Christmas is over.

Littlefoot: (sighs sadly) Genie's got a point. All of our hard work for our celebration was all for nothing.

Cera: Let's face it, you guys. The Beast is never gonna change his mind about Christmas.

Bagheera: And we're never gonna celebrate it anyways because of him forbidding the holiday to begin with. All because of the fact that it reminded him of the day the enchantress casted a spell on him and his castle. And no matter how hard we tried, there's just no talking him out of it. He's so stubborn and thick-headed to listen.

Brock: You're right, Bagheera. Who are we kidding? Christmas is ruined forever, and Belle is being unfairly punished for it all because she was trying so hard to ensure his happiness. (sighs sadly) He's never gonna let the pain from his past go.

Misty: Then I guess we have no other choice. We're just gonna have to accept the fact that we can never have a Christmas with the master nor get together with our families this year. Whether we like it or not.

Ash Ketchum: (solemnly) Yeah... (sighs sadly) Let's go back to the castle.

(Ash, Pikachu, his friends, Chip, Cogsworth, Lumiere, Fife, and Axe sadly agree and somberly head back to the Beast's castle. This was indeed the worst Christmas our heroes have ever had since Forte sabotaged everything they've worked hard for to ensure the Beast's happiness.)

Pikachu: (sadly) Pika, Pika...

Belle in the Dungeon/Beast warns Ash and his friends/Fife tells the truth

(In the dungeon....)

Beast: You said you'd never leave.

Belle: I wasn't trying to leave. I just wanted to make you happy.

Beast: You broke your word and for that, you will rot in this dungeon forever. (slams the door and locks it)

Belle: I should have known you'd never be anything but a Beast.

(outside the dungeon)

Grandpa Longneck: That was totally uncalled for.

Beast: (growls)

Grandpa Longneck: (growls back at the beast)

Beast: (scoffs) You all should be considered lucky you're not in there with her. But next time it happens, you won't be so lucky. You may have Christmas without me or Belle. But if any of you leave the castle again, then you'll be joining her in the dungeon as well. (growls angrily leaves in a huff)

Mrs. Potts: Oh, dear. That didn't go very well at all, did it?

Ash Ketchum:

(In the main room, a bell tolls twelve)

Lumiere: (sighs sadly) Midnight. Merry Christmas, Cogsworth.

Cogsworth: If only it were.

-

Fife: (OS) Uh, guys. (appears)

-

Fife: Guys, there's something I have to tell you. (scene fades to the West Wing)

Forte: Oh, my dear old friend. I told you not to feel for her. Things were so much simpler before she came along, before we dared to.....hope.

Beast: Oh, I thought she was the one.

-

"As Long as There's Christmas (Reprise)"/Ash and Pikachu save the Beast/Belle's Storybook

-

-

-

(Later, the castle servants secretly visit Belle in her dungeon cell on Ash's orders and against the beast's wishes.)

Chip: Belle?

Lumiere: Hello, chère.

Mrs. Potts: There she is.

Lumiere: Merry Christmas.

Chip: It doesn't look so special to me.

Belle: Oh, Chip, I'm sorry. Nothing's changed.

Angelique: I told you. Nothing would change. I told you the master would not allow this. I told you Christmas was a hopeless folly! But... I was wrong.

(Belle was a bit stunned with Angelique admitting she was wrong about her protests eariler.)

Angelique: ♪When I felt lost and lonely. Not a dream in my head. Your words lifted my spirits high. Remember what you said. As long as there's Christmas. I truly believe-♪

Angelique and Belle: ♪That hope is the greatest of the gifts we'll receive. (As Belle and Angelique sing, Ash and the gang look up in sadness, depressed and worried about Belle.) As long as our guiding star shines above,-♪

Angelique: ♪There'll always be Christmas.♪

Belle: ♪So, there always will be a time when the world is filled with peace and love.♪

(Meanwhile, a very sad Ash and Pikachu wonder alone down the hallways. They stop to rest for a bit where they can mope over the depressing turn of events.)

Ash Ketchum: (sighs sadly) Pikachu, I can't believe there's just no convincing the Beast into changing his mind about Christmas. He's too stubborn to listen to reason. I mean what does he have against the holiday that made him hate it so much? I just don't understand it.

Pikachu: (sadly) Pikachu...

Ash Ketchum: If only there was a much easier way to make him come to his senses. I just wish there was a miracle that'll help us celebrate the holiday together as a family. So, that the Beast wouldn't be so lonely.

Pikachu: (twitches his ears) Pi?

Ash Ketchum: Hmm? What is it, Pikachu? Did you hear something?

Pikachu: (senses something) Pika! (runs off)

Ash Ketchum: Hey! Wait up! (follows Pikachu up to the West Wing)

-

-

Forte: Oh, it tears me up to see you this way, Master. Why do you torment yourself? There's the symbol of your curse. Destroy it. And end these adolescent notions of love and redemption. (the beast removes the bell jar from the enchanted rose) And your pain forever.

Pikachu: (arrives at the scene) Pika?!

Ash Ketchum: (arrives as well) Wha-What is he doing with the rose? (turns over to Forte as he smiles wickedly) What? Forte?

Forte: Yes.... (the beast grows angry once again) Do it!

Ash Ketchum: What the?! Oh, no... He wouldn't! Would he?

Forte: Smash it! Smash the enchanted rose! (his eyes glows and so does the Beast's)

Ash Ketchum: (gasps in shock and realization; talks in his thoughts) Now I see what's going on here! The master wasn't really angry with Belle for "breaking his promise" in leaving the grounds nor with everyone else for violating his law against Christmas! It was just Forte playing mind games with him the whole time! He wanted to make sure that he doesn't fall in love with Belle just so he could destroy the rose and prevent him from breaking the spell! That creepy pipe organ set Belle up, brainwashed the master into loathing her, tricked him to locking her up in the dungeon, and then sabotaged our Christmas planning! I knew he couldn't be trusted!

Forte: Smash it!

Beast: (roars angrily as he raises his hand and is about to destroy the enchanted rose)

Ash Ketchum (gasps in horror; whispers) NO!!! Pikachu, shock him back to his senses with Thunderbolt!

Pikachu: Pika?!

Ash Ketchum: Just do it! Do it for Belle and the whole castle!

Pikachu: Pika... (looks at the Beast as he is about to strike the rose) Pika! (runs over to him, climbs up from behind his cape and reaches the top of his head) Pika!

Forte: What?!

Ash Ketchum: (in his thoughts) Forgive me, Belle. (out loud) NOW, PIKACHU!!! USE THUNDERBOLT!!

Pikachu: (charges his electricity) Pika.....CHU!!!!!! (zaps the Beast with everything he could)

Beast: (roars in agony and pain)

(Ash and Forte cover their eyes from the blinding electricity. But unlike Forte's, Ash was remorseful. But he knew it had to be stopped. In the dungeon, Belle and her friends hear the Beast's roars from above. Ash's friends hear the Beast's roars as well. The Beast continue to roar in agony from Pikachu's Thunderbolt until Forte's hypnotic control finally lets him go. Pikachu stops shocking the Beast and hops off. The Beast was completely stunned, dazed, paralyzed, and burned from Pikachu's electricity. As a result, he stumbled over and falls backwards, sending him crashing to the floor. The Beast is now completely unconscious.)

Pikachu: Pika?

(In the dungeon, Belle, Lumiere, Cogsworth, Mrs. Potts, Chip, Fife, Angelique, and the ornaments look up and wondered what that loud noise was.)

Chip: Mama, what was that loud noise?

Mrs. Potts: I, uh, I don't know, dear.

(Downstairs, Ash's friends heard the commotion too.)

Brock: (to his team) Let's go.

(On Brock's command, they follow him to the West Wing to see what's going on. Back upstairs, Ash runs over to the rose and checks on it to see if it wasn't damaged. Only one of the petals fell off and landed onto Belle's present.)

Ash Ketchum: (smiles upon seeing no further damage on the rose) Phew! (puts the bell jar back in place and then glares menacingly at Forte)

Forte: (growls angrily at Ash and Pikachu's interference)

(Ash then takes Belle's present with the rose's petal still on it and runs back to the unconscious Beast.)

Ash Ketchum: (kneels down and pushes the present forward) Beast? (taps on him) Beast? (snaps his fingers to wake him up)

Beast: (groans as he wakes up from Pikachu's Thunderbolt)

Ash Ketchum: You alright?

Beast: (gets back up, shakes himself to recover from the electric attack, and rubs his head; gives Ash a scowl look for having Pikachu zap him) Hmm... (but Ash immediately holds up Belle's gift to his face) Huh?

Ash Ketchum: Do you see this Christmas present, Beast? Do you remember who gave this to you?

Beast: (looks at the gift and after a few moments he remembers) Belle...

Ash Ketchum: (slowly smiles) Yes. Yes, that's right. Belle hasn't forgotten about you nor given up on you like you did with her. In fact, she left this here after making it just for you. So, that you wouldn't feel left out of the Christmas festivities. You remember that, don't you?

Beast: (gently takes the present from Ash) Hmm... (stands back up on his feet and gasps in realization; flashes back to the moment where he finds the present when Lumiere was in the West Wing with him; the memory then slowly comes back to him) Oh, yeah. Now I remember! (opens it as Ash and Pikachu watch proudly)

Forte: What are you doing? What is it? (the beast comes back in, holding Belle's book in his hands) Oh, a storybook. Does this one have pretty pictures you can color? (chuckles) Utterly dreadful, Master.

Beast: No. This one's different! It's from Belle.

Forte: Well, that would account for the creative wrapping.

Beast: QUIET!! (growls and sits down) I want to read.

(Forte sighs in anger as the beast reads Belle's book.)

Ash Ketchum: (V.O.) Hey!

Forte: Hmm?

(Ash threatens Forte when he points two of his fingers at his eyes and then to Forte's. He is clearing saying, "You messing with Belle and the Beast, then you're messing with me, Pikachu, and my friends.")

Pikachu: (angrily sparks) Pika...!

(Just then, Ash's friends arrive at the scene.)

Littlefoot: Ash, are you okay?

Brock: What happened?

Jack Skellington: We heard Pikachu's Thunderbolt going on as well as the master's loud roaring. And we could've sworn that it was coming from in here.

Misty: Tell us what's going on?

Ash Ketchum: Guys, be quiet. The master just opened the present Belle gave him and now he's reading it.

Ash's friends: Huh?!

Misty & Brock: Present?!

Bagheera: Belle made the Beast a present for him?

Ash Ketchum: Yes, she did. Now be quiet. He's trying to read.

(Our heroes stand silently as the Beast begins reading Belle's handmade book.)

Belle: (voiceover) "Once upon a time, there was an enchanted castle. Its master seemed as cold as winter. Deep inside his heart… His cries echoed through the stone wall of the castle… Though surrounded by servants, he was all alone… And in that simple act of kindness…he knew that someone cared. Christmas that year was spent exchanging humble gifts…but the greatest gift that anyone received…was the gift…of hope."

(Slowly, but surely, the Beast felt a feeling of warmth grow inside his heart. Not only was this story inspirational, but it also reminded him of what he was going through. While this could've been enough for him to sink into sadness again, that was no longer the case, for this story had a much deeper meaning to it, rather than simply retell what he had been through. The last sentence in the story struck a chord in Beast's heart, especially after he saw Belle's signature printed underneath it. Lost in his thoughts, he looked up, thinking about all that he had went through to make it this far.)

Beast: Hmmm.... Hope.

(Our heroes look on with wonder and happiness, seeing that the Beast is no longer feeling hate and anger anymore.)

Ash Ketchum: (gently touches his arm) Look. We know you didn't want a party because of what happened to you on Christmas Day ten years ago. And we get it. The pain from the past does hurt.

Velma Dinkley: But you see, what Belle and all of us had been trying to tell you is that after all of those years of being under the spell...

Daphne Blake: We thought that you might reconsider your resentment towards Christmas.

Shaggy Rogers: Like, yeah!

Scooby-Doo: Uh-huh! Uh-huh! Uh-huh!

Daffy Duck: It may have been the day you were turned into a beast, but it is also the day where families and best buddies like us come together.

Bugs Bunny: And we're just glad that we are all together. Especially with you, doc.

Jack Skellington: And you are most welcome to join us. That way you wouldn't miss out on all of the fun while also not be so lonely and gloomy all the time.

Pikachu: Pikachu!

Cera: All we wanted was to spread a little joy.

Baloo: So, that we would remind you that you're not alone. And that we're always here to help you break this spell.

Brock: So, what do you say?

Misty: Will you finally let go of your hatred towards the holidays?

Littlefoot: And come join in the Christmas festivities with Belle and the rest of us along with your castle servants?

Ash Ketchum: Pretty please?

Heroes: (except the grown-up heroes; unison) Please? Will you please? Will you please? Please? Please? Please? Will you?

Pikachu: (pleadingly) Pikachu?

Grandma and Grandpa Longneck, Genie, Jack Skellington, Baloo, & Bagheera: (pleadingly) Please, Beast?

Scooby-Doo, Pluto, Zero, and Sultan: (whimper pleadingly with cute little sad eyes)

(Brief silence)

Beast: Hmm....

(Looking back at the storybook, Beast saw an illustration of Belle, Ash, their friends and their families together, before slowly formed a smile on his face. With the way he was given a special gift, despite his feelings of despair over Christmas, and how it was given to him by Belle, Ash, and his friends, the same individuals whom he felt would never accept him, he felt a glimmer of hope grow in his heart. They had braved the risks to deliver him this special gift, and upon reading it, Beast could no longer feel any hate for Christmas. Instead, he felt the feeling of comfort that there were those who cared for him and would help him break the spell. And what happened then, well, in the west wing they say, that the Beast's small heart grew three sizes that day.)

Beast: (smiles warmly, gently closes the book, and hugs several of our heroes as he starts to shed some tears) Merry Christmas, everyone!

Ash Ketchum: Yeah!

Littlefoot: Alright!

Pikachu: (happily) Pikachu!

Heroes: (cheers happily and hug one another)

Scooby-Doo, Sultan, Pluto, and Zero: (happily bark and joyfully run up to the Beast as they began kissing him out of affection despite getting hair onto their tongues)

Bagheera, Jack Skellington, Genie, and Baloo: (relieved) Phew!

Grandma Longneck: (relieved) Oh, thank goodness! (nuzzles happily with Grandpa Longneck as he laughs warmly)

(The Mystery Gang high-five each other while Daffy and Bugs dance around in joy.)

Forte: (annoyed) Oh, give me a break.

Beast: (gently pets the dogs affectionately; wipes away his tears) I've never felt this much warmth and happiness in my entire life! (sniffs and blows his nose in a tissue) This is the greatest gift I've ever gotten! Nobody has ever given something special to me for Christmas before! But...But how can any of you... give me a gift...after everything I put you through?! (cries) I thought...I thought that none of you guys... liked me! I thought nobody loved me because of the cruelty I've inflicted on them! (cries)

Velma Dinkley: Aw, that's your trouble, Beast. You've gotta be more respectful to yourself and to other people before you can expect anyone else to love you.

Shaggy Rogers: Like, yeah, man. Don't be so hard on yourself.

Misty: It really wasn't your fault that you've acted like a jerk to Belle, your royal subjects, your guests, and to the rest of us, Beast. Your cold-hearted father turned you into something you weren't supposed to be in the first place.

Beast: (sniffs) Hmm?

Bagheera: Just like Forte who took advantage of your rage and anger towards your past, your cruel father took advantage of your innocence and naivety when you were a little boy. And because of that, he spoiled you too much, turning you into horrid monster rather than a noble prince.

Jack Skellington: He raised you wrongly, Beast. And nothing good ever comes from spoiling a child like that.

Jiminy Cricket: You've gotta stop your growling. And learn to lighten up.

Bugs Bunny: Yeah, doc, stop being so angry, strict, and hostile to everybody all the time. You don't have to make strict rules like forbidding anything that's Christmas related just to show people who's boss. You're nothing like Forte and your cruel father. You're better than that.

Daffy Duck: Smile, be happy and cheerful, and be dignified. Especially during the merriment of the holidays. You just need to put the past behind you and look to a brighter future rather than a bleaker one. And the more you do that, the more people will like you.

Genie: (uses his magic to change into his western outfit and begins playing his guitar) ♪The sand can't run through your toes if you're wearing shoes. The sun can't shine on your nose if you got the blues. You've got the wrong end of the wishbone and your dinner's beans and cornpone. And you think nobody loves you, but they do.

Genie: ♪You think nobody loves you, (chuckles) but they do.♪

Feather dusters: ♪Oooohhh...♪

Beast: (sniffs) Golly, fellas. You're right. My castle servants do love me! They really...do!

(Our heroes laugh with joy.)

Ash Ketchum: (sighs) And you know what? If you learn to love Belle as much as you'll learn to love everyone else, then I'm sure she'll love you too.

Beast: Yeah, she will. Now, come on. Let's go get her out of the dungeon and have ourselves a very merry little Christmas all together! As a big, happy family!

Baloo & Bagheera: Yes, sir!

Jack Skellington: You got it, my friend!

Heroes: (chatter happily in agreement)

(The Beast and our heroes head out the doors and go to the dungeon to pick up Belle.)

Forte: No, Master! What are you doing?! Don't listen to them! Come back! She'll only prolong your torment!

(But the Beast ignores Forte and continues to go to the dungeon with his friends to get Belle out.)

"A Cut Above the Rest"/Beast's apology to Belle and the castle servants

(Meanwhile at the dungeon)

Chip: You know what, Belle? I don't need a tree to celebrate Christmas.

Lumiere: And I can do without mistletoe. (smooches Cogsworth)

Cogsworth: Well, I don't need tinsel.

Lumiere: Oh? I don't need holly.

Cogsworth: And I don't need a wreath!

Lumiere: I don't need ornaments!

Cogsworth: And I don't need turkey!

Lumiere: I don't need stuffing!

Cogsworth: I don't need pudding!

Lumiere: ♪To each his own, my friend, you know how to get me stressed. But when it comes to making Christmas special-♪

Cogsworth: ♪Ahem! I'm a cut above the rest!♪

Lumiere: ♪If you could see things clearly, you would say that I've been blessed.♪

Cogsworth: ♪You can't hold a candle to my timing!♪

Lumiere: ♪Ha! I'm A cut above the rest!♪

Belle: ♪You belong side by side. You should never be apart. 'Cause when you're both together, you're really twice as smart.♪

Cogsworth: (spoken) "Twice as smart." She does have a point.

Lumiere: (spoken) Yes, well, two heads are better than one.

(They accidentally bash their heads against each other.)

Cogsworth: ♪They say that as a team we have got to be the best.♪

Lumiere: ♪Now we've found something we both agree on. We're a cut above the rest.♪

Lumiere & Cogsworth: ♪There's no doubt that as a team we two are the very best. Everyone who knows us must agree. We're a cut above the rest.♪

Belle, Lumiere, & Cogsworth: ♪There's no doubt that as a team you (Lumiere & Cogsworth: we) two are the very best. Everyone who knows you (Lumiere & Cogsworth: us) must agree.♪

Lumiere & Cogsworth: ♪We're a cut-♪

Belle: ♪A cut above-♪

Lumiere & Cogsworth: ♪Above the rest!♪

(Just then, the Beast unlocks and opens the dungeon door, which causes Belle and the castle servants to immediately stop in fright.)

Chip: Uh-oh! It's the master!

(They cower in fear, thinking he'll roar, growl and even yell at them in anger for visiting Belle against his wishes. But Ash, Littlefoot, Cera, Misty, and Brock come in to set things straight.)

Ash, Littlefoot, Cera, Misty, and Brock: (calmly and assuredly) Relax.

Littlefoot: He's not angry about Christmas anymore.

Brock: And he's not here to yell or punish any of you. Not this time. Not even when you're visiting Belle in the dungeon against his orders.

Mrs. Potts, Chip, Lumiere, Fife, Cogsworth, Angelique, and the ornaments: (confused and shocked) Huh?!?!

Ash Ketchum: In fact, he's actually here for this. (to Belle) Belle, the master has something very important to tell you along with his servants. For real.

Misty: Go on. It's alright. Don't be shy.

Bagheera: (whispers) Just tell her you're sorry.

Jack Skellington: (whispers) Yeah! It'll be okay.

Beast: (sighs sadly) Alright. (clears throat) Uh,... Belle? (looks at his friends)

(Ash and the gang smile confidently and encourage the beast to continue the apology. The castle servants look on nervously about this, but Belle is also confident about it.)

Ash Ketchum: Tell her you're sorry.

Beast: (sighs in depression and walks up to Belle with deep remorse in his eyes) Can you forgive me?

(Belle smiles warmly and she gently takes his hand. Lumiere chuckles and the other servants are starting to grow happy.)

Belle: Of course. Merry Christmas.

Castle servants: (cheer happily and loudly in excitement and merriment)

Beast: Let's give Belle the Christmas she's always wanted!

Belle: (kisses the Beast and then smiles to Ash and his friends) Thank you so much, you guys.

(Ash and his friends smile warmly and proudly gives the Beast a huge round of applause for letting go of his hatred towards Christmas while also finally allowing everyone in the castle to celebrate the holidays in peace.)

The Fight to Save Christmas

Forte: So, Beast gets girl and it's a happy ending for everyone. Enchantment lifted and Forte fads into the background. No longer important, no longer needed. I THINK NOT!!! [plays loud music on his keyboard which shakes the castle]

(As the castle shook the windows shattered, and the chandelier fell off the ceiling)

Chip: What is it, Mama? What's happening? [Everyone scatters in fear as the Beast protects Belle from the debris while some hold their ears shut from Forte's loud music]

Forte (V.O.): (laughing evilly)

Misty: Whoa! It's an earthquake!

Brock: Doesn't feel like an earthquake! Ash, what's going on?!

Ash Ketchum: (holds his ears shut from Forte's loud music) It's that creepy pipe organ that resides in the Beast's west wing!

Pikachu: Pikachu!

Baloo: Pipe organ?!

Bagheera: What pipe organ?!

Ash Ketchum: He’s the court composer of this castle!

(The wooden supports began to break loose from above as Cogsworth, Lumiere, Angelique, and the ornaments stood back.)

???: Incoming!

Shaggy Rogers: Zoinks!

Angelique: Watch out!

(More wooden supports crashed down)

Fife: (realizing) Forte!

(Fife hoped away through the doggy door, while the Christmas decorations, including Mrs. Potts, and Chip quickly scattered away)

Chip: Whoa!

Mrs. Potts: Hurry, now. Hurry.

???: This way everybody!

???: Find cover!

???: We gotta get out of here!

Pikachu: Pika!

Ash Ketchum: The door! (goes to pry the door open)

(A debris landed on the spot they were on from)

(To Forte's chambers)

Forte: Can you believe I never took a lesson?!

(Beast struggles to help Ash and some of his friends open the dungeon door to escape the castle's destruction.)

Ash Ketchum: Get it open!

Beast: We're trying!

Ash Ketchum: Open the door!

(The room split from where Belle, Beast, and the rest thus separating Belle from Beast)

Beast: Belle!

(He tries to reach her

Belle: Oh, no!

Beast: Belle!

Belle: Help!

-

-

-

-

-

-

(We see Fife hoping and whimpering as he avoids the falling debris till he reached to the West Wing)

Fife: Oh, no.

(He hopes towards Forte's chambers)

Fife: Maestro! (Forte noticed Fife) Stop!

(Forte stops playing his organ music)

Fife: What do you think you're doing?!

Forte: Don't you see, Fife?! They can't fall in love if they're dead! (cackles)

Fife: I'll tell you what I see. A big, old windbag! (laughs nervously)

Forte: You could've joined me, Fife,...

(He plays his high organ music again)

Forte: ...but I see my triumph is a solo act.

(Fife looks to one music note page that popped out from the box behind him.)

Fife: My solo... It's blank!

Forte: (laughs evilly) So naive.

Fife: No! No, no!

Forte: You're second fiddle, Fife, and that's all you'll ever be.

(To our heroes)

( The castle grounds started to crumble and Misty starts to fall)

Brock: Misty!

(Brock and others pulled Misty back up)

Misty: Thanks Brock!

Baloo: Man, this music is getting so loud!

Beast: (shouting) Forte!

(Outside we see Beast break out of the door)

Beast: ( to Ash) I'll go and stop Forte! You help Belle and the others! (runs off)

Forte: We can remain as we are forever and ever!

(Forte laughs sinisterly evil as the castle continued to shake and crumble)

Beast: (shouting) FORTE!!!

(Forte turns to the doors and heard stomps coming, as the doors opened to reveal his master the Beast.)

Beast: Enough! (growls)

Forte: Heavens! Master.

(Beast confronts Forte)

Forte: You're not singing!

(He played his organ a high note causing his magical music notes to come out from his organ's pipes as it bounced off a pillar and hit the Beast.)

(To our heroes)

Ruby: We gotta go and help Beast!

Ducky: But how do we get across this deep edge?!

-

-

-

-

-

-

(Ash and Brock push the wooden support down to create a bridge for Belle and everyone else to cross.)

Brock: Everybody walk across!

Jack Skellington: But watch your step!

Belle: Okay. Careful.

(They all begin to cross to other side)

Ash Ketchum: This way, Belle.

Grandma Longneck: Thank goodness. We made it.

Littlefoot: Ducky! Spike! Come on!

Ducky: Spike, I’m afraid!

(Spike grabs Ducky and let her ride on his back while crossing the wooden support)

Littlefoot: You can do it!

Cera: Hurry!

( They all made it a crossed the castle)

Ash Ketchum: Now, let’s go stop that pipe organ for good!

( Our heroes, Belle and her friends arrived at the West Wing to help the Beast and stop Forte)

Ash Ketchum: (furiously) Forte! You've got to stop right now!

Forte: You know, young man. I never liked you the moment I met you.

Ash Ketchum: I never even wanted to know you! You may have fooled Belle, the master, and everyone else, but Pikachu and I knew that all this time you were a liar and a traitor to the whole castle!

Belle: What in the world is Ash talking about?!

Ash Ketchum: Guys, there's something I forgot to mention! That creepy pipe organ in that secret room in the Beast's West Wing? He's called Forte. And he's been brainwashing the master so he could trick him into breaking up with Belle and destroying the enchanted rose. While also to keep him away from his friends and family!

???: What?!

???: But why would he do that?!

Ash Ketchum: So that the Beast could never find the hope of redeeming himself and that the spell wouldn't be broken! That's why! And not only that, but he also sabotaged our Christmas planning! And he set Belle up by making her go out into the Black Forest so that he can frame her into "abandoning" the master! He also tricked him into throwing her into the dungeon for supposedly "breaking his promise" just so he could get rid of her!

Belle: What?! You mean he was trying to get rid of me this whole time?!

Ash Ketchum: Yes, Belle! He doesn't care about the Beast's happiness! He was just tricking you into leaving the castle just so he could get rid of you and then to trick the master into locking you up in the dungeon! While also brainwash him into viewing you as a threat instead of a friend!

(Lumiere, Cogsworth, Mrs. Potts and Angelique are deeply shocked when they learn that Forte is the traitor. Our heroes are horrified upon hearing Forte's plan for nearly destroying Christmas as well as ruining Belle's relationship with the master. All so he could keep the spell irreversible forever.)

???: My word, Ash! Is all of that true?!

Jiminy Cricket: Yes, it is! He told me all about it after Belle went out into the Black Forest!

Forte: And I would've gotten away with it too! If it weren't for that meddling kid and his electrifying creature of his!

Lumiere: (gasps) So, it's true! There was someone committing treachery and conspiring against the master and the entire castle! And it was our spooky court composer, Forte, this whole time! He's the one trying to ruin Belle's relationship with the master! And he's the one who sabotaged our Christmas planning!

Cogsworth: Oh dear! Mercy me!

Mrs. Potts: My goodness gracious! Forte?! I knew there was something I didn't like about that man!

Lumiere: (marches in) Monsieur Forte!! For many years, no loyal servant has ever committed such horrendous acts of treachery to this royal family! You have desecrated the sanctity of this castle!!

Bagheera: I can't believe it! The master's mother took you in! She gave you food, and shelter and comfort, and even a proper job for you to work for! And after all this time, she and her husband as well as the master believed that you would be one of the castle's most trustworthy servants! Or so they thought!

Brock: Yeah! No loyal servant has ever given this opportunity! The whole castle trusted you, Forte!

Misty: How could you do this to Belle, Forte?! And most importantly, how could you, of all people, double-cross your master and the entire staff after everything they've done for you?!

Forte: ???

-

Forte: But Master, Belle isn't your friend, I AM!!

Ash Ketchum: (defending Belle) Yeah, Forte, but you're not a very nice friend nor a trustworthy servant! You've never even respected the master from the very beginning! And after what you've made him do under your negative influence, he doesn't want to listen to you nor be your friend anymore!

Daffy Duck: Alright, that's it! Bring it on, psycho organ!

Bugs Bunny: Yeah! Let's go, you miserable creep! Put 'em up! Put 'em up!

-

-

-

-

Lumiere: Oh, no! The bell jar!

Misty: The rose!

Brock: Quick! Grab it before it smashes into pieces!

Littlefoot: Get it, you guys! Get it, get it, get it!

Cogsworth: Whoa! (catches the rose with Lumiere before it hits the ground) Got it! Got it!

Angelique: Oh, careful!

Cera: Don't drop it!

Forte: IS THIS HAPPY ENOUGH FOR YOU, MASTER?! I KNOW! I'M DOWNRIGHT GIDDY!!

(The Beast, Belle, and our heroes avoid Forte's musical lightning powers.)

Daffy Duck: He's too loud!!

Bugs Bunny: How are we ever gonna stop him?!

Pikachu: (grasps his ears shut) Pika...!!

Fife: Guys, the keyboard!

Jack Skellington: Keyboard?

Fife: Forte's keyboard! It's where he gets his source of power from!

Ash Ketchum: Then we must destroy it if we gotta stop him!

Forte: Not if I take you down first, boy!

(Forte continues to play his loud powerful music as the battle rages on. The ceiling starts to collapse but Ash managed to dodge them. Unfortunately, the ceiling was about to hit Belle. Ash saw this and ran as fast as he could to save Belle)

Ash Ketchum: Belle! Look out!

(Ash pushes Belle but he got hit by the ceiling, got hurt and fell unconscious. Belle becomes shock on what happened to Ash.)

Belle: Ash! No!

Heroes: Ash!

Pikachu: Pika, Pi!

Servants: Ash!

Beast: (gasps in horror but his shock turns to rage as he growls furiously at Forte)

(Taking Fife's advice, the Beast sets his mind on Forte's keyboard, and sees him press more of his keys, adding more loud frequency to his attacks. Having had enough, and mustering up all of his strength, the Beast made his way towards Forte, enduring the intense breeze and determined to end this once and for all. Forte, caught up in his own loud laughter, failed to notice him approaching his keyboard, until finally, the Beast reached it, grabbed onto it with his muscular hands, and lifted it into the air. He strained and gritted his teeth before he lifted the keyboard above his head. This caused the keyboard to stop playing the music, as well as the blasts of magic to fade away, now that their source of power was detached and rendered useless. Forte sighs in pain and his pipes are weakened. Our heroes, recovering from the loud music, look up and see the battle turning in their favor. As for Lumiere and Cogsworth, they continue their struggle in keeping the rose safe.)

Lumiere: (mumbling)

Cogsworth: (places the rose back on the table) Got it!

(Lumiere tumbles over and sighs in relief.)

Cogsworth: Whoa, whoa! (falls over)

Misty: Phew, that was close!

(Back to the Beast. He roars and throws Forte's keyboard, and it is destroyed when it lands on the floor. Forte struggles to move.)

Forte: Wha?

(The chain then breaks and one of his organ pipes fall.)

Forte: What?!

(Forte himself starts to fall down.)

Forte: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

(Everyone watches in horror as Forte crashes his face onto the concrete floor. As the dust slowly began to dissipate, everyone gathered as they looked upon the aftermath of this horrific confrontation; a damaged room with a lot of rubble, sheets of paper flying around the room, and the remains of a destroyed Forte scattered around the area. A truly immense level of carnage, but to everyone, the worst was now over. His fury fading away, and relief of his friends being ok, the Beast looked upon the remains of Forte, relieved that it was over, but still saddened that it had to be this way.)

Beast: Forte...

(Belle comforts the Beast as the screen turns black. Then moments later,....)

Ash Ketchum: (groans)

Cogsworth: Shh-shh-shh-shh... Quiet, everyone! He's finally starting to wake up!

Lumiere: Oh-ho, se magnifique!

Ash Ketchum: (groans as the black screen becomes his eyelids opening from his coma)

Belle: (rubs his head with a wet cloth) Ash?

(Ash slowly starts to open his eyes, but his vision was blurry. He awakens to find Belle, the Beast, Pikachu, Lumiere, Cogsworth, Mrs. Potts, Chip, Fife, Sultan, Angelique, and his friends right in front of him, looking at him with smiles. The scene changes to Ash as it is revealed that they placed him in the Beast's bed after Forte knocked him out. Belle and Mrs. Potts revealed to have nursed him back to health.)

Mrs. Potts: Wake up, dear.

Ash Ketchum: (groans in pain as he wakes from his coma)

Pikachu: Pika, Pi...

Belle: It's alright, Ash. Everyone's here.

(Ash slowly leans forward as he tries to get up.)

Ash Ketchum: (groans in pain as he rubs his head) Ow,..

Pikachu: Pika, Pi.

Ash Ketchum: Hi, Pikachu.

Pikachu: Pika! (happily jumps into his arms)

Cogsworth: Oh, thank goodness. You're alright, son.

Lumiere: We thought that wicked traitor, Forte, killed you.

Angelique: That was quite a risk you took from that fight with Forte, young man.

Mrs. Potts: And you must be chilled to the bone, dear. I'll fix you up a nice spot of tea right away. (strolls away)

Fife: (jumps up on the bed) Thanks for standing up for me, Ash.

Ash Ketchum: You're welcome, Fife.

-

Belle: Guess you were right about Forte being an untrustworthy person, Ash.

-

-

-

Littlefoot: We're so glad you're okay.

Misty: (gently hits Ash in the shoulder) That's for scaring us. But this is for saving Belle and Chip. (raises her hand for a high-five)

Ash Ketchum: Alright! Thanks, Misty!

(Soon afterwards, the Beast shuts the doors to the organ room, chains the doorknobs, and locks them with a lock. Brock then hammers two large wooden boards onto the doors. Misty places a "Don't enter! This room is off-limits!" sign onto the doors to the organ room.)

Misty: Well, that's one more room in this castle we're never going into ever again.

Brock: You said it, Misty.

Beast: Well, it's better this way. Thank you, Misty and Brock.

-

-

Grandpa Longneck: Now, let's get this castle repaired and redecorated so we can have our Christmas party for real!

Ending/ As Long As There’s Christmas (End Title)

(The scene changes to a ballroom.)

Mrs. Potts: Oh, yes, it is lovely.

Lumiere: And you said it was impossible.

Angelique: Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah. I said it was impossible without me.

Brock: So, Ash, you feeling better from your little scuffle with Forte?

Ash Ketchum: Sure am. I feel 100% great!

Cogsworth: Everyone. (shushing) Here, they come.

Chip: Wow.

(Belle and the beast come out.)

-

-

Beast: How do you do it, Ash? After everything I have done for you, your friends, to my servants, and to Belle, how did you know that Forte was going to betray me and the entire castle?

-

-

Beast: (clears throat) Can I have everybody's attention, please? (everyone pauses for a bit) Uh, before we begin our celebration, there is something very important I have to tell you. Now, as you know, I haven't been the friendliest master of the castle. And since I take full responsibility over everything I've done, I would like to apologize for my rude behavior towards everybody. I had been so cold-hearted and cruel to every one of my royal subjects and my guests for far too long. And after all that has happened here tonight, you've helped me open myself up to the world again. You've given me so much and I fully appreciate it. Now, I want to give something to all of you in return.

(The Beast opens the front door and then, much to our heroes' surprise....)

Familiar voice: Hey, there they are!

Professor Oak: (laughs) We found them! We found them! There's our children! (laughs)

Ash, Misty, and Brock: Professor Oak?!

Daddy Topps: Cera! Cera!

Cera: Daddy!

Daddy Topps: Cera! (nuzzles his daughter)

Cera: Daddy, I missed you so much.

Flint and Nola: Brock!

Brock: Mom? Dad?

Nola: Brock!

Flint: Son!

Forrest: Hey, Brock!

Brock: Forrest!

Brock's brothers and sisters: Brock!! (cheering)

Brock: Hey, I missed you all!

Mama Flyer: Petrie! My little Petrie!

Petrie: Mama! (hugs his mother)

Mama Flyer: Oh, Petrie! I was so worried sick about you!

Petrie: Me alright, Mama.

Mama Swimmer: Ducky? Spike? (gasps) Ducky, Spike!

Ducky: Mama! (runs up to her mother and hugs her)

Spike: (grunts happily and nuzzles her as well)

Ruby's mother: (appears at the door with her mate; gasps upon seeing Ruby) Ruby!

Ruby: Mommy! Daddy!

Ruby's father: Ruby!

Ruby's mother: Our baby!

(Ruby nuzzles with her parents. Chomper hears roaring sounds.)

Chomper: Mama? Papa?

(Chomper's mother peaks in and sees Chomper. She was immensely happy and so was his father.)

Chomper: Mama! Papa! (runs up to his parents and nuzzles them)

Bron: Littlefoot? Littlefoot?

Littlefoot: (gasps) Dad?!

Bron: Littlefoot! There you are, son!

Littlefoot: Dad! (runs up to his father) Oh, Dad!

Daisy, Violet, and Lily: Hey, Misty! Over here!

Misty: (gasps) My sisters! (runs up to them and hugs them) Daisy, Violet, and Lily! Oh, how I missed you!

Jiminy Cricket: Well, would you look at that, Bagheera and Baloo? Everyone's families are reuniting with the children!

Bagheera: (chuckles) Yeah, isn't it wonderful?

Baloo: It really is Baggy. (sniffs)

Tantor: (cries emotionally) This is the most beautiful family reunion I've ever seen, Terk!

Terk: Uh-huh. Right. (hands him a tissue whom the latter blows really hard on it, splattering mucus on her, much to her disgust) Eww...

Daphne Blake: Aww! How cute!

Velma Dinkley: Most definitely.

Shaggy Rogers: Like isn't it great, Scoob? Everyone's getting a family reunion this Christmas!

Scooby-Doo: Yeah! (giggles)

Minnie Mouse: Mickey!! Mickey!!

Mickey Mouse: Minnie? (gasps) Minnie! I'm right here!

Minnie Mouse: (gasps) Oh, Mickey! (runs up and hugs him) I thought I'd never see you again!

Mickey Mouse: It's alright, Minnie. I'm fine. And so is my good pal, Pluto. Oh, how I've missed you so much.

Lola Bunny: Bugs? Bugs?

Bugs Bunny: (gasps) Lols! Over here! I'm over here!

Lola Bunny: (gasps) Bugsy! Sweetie! There you are! (runs over to Bugs Bunny and hugs him) So, this is the enchanted castle your big furry friend's been talking about? I like it. It looks beautiful on the inside.

Sally: Jack? Jack?

Jack Skellington: (gasps) Sally?!

Sally: (gasps) Jack! (runs up to him and hugs him) I was so worried. I thought I'd never find you again.

Jack Skellington: Don't worry, Sally. I'm okay. And we're together again.

(Those who are reunited with their families laugh heartedly with joy and happiness. But even though everyone is happy that they're reunited with their families, Ash was left all alone and sad. He sadly fears that his mother isn't coming to see him on Christmas.)

Ash Ketchum: (looks sad and sighs)

Beast: (laughs) I haven't forgotten about you, my friend. Look.

Delia Ketchum: (V.O.) Ash?

Ash Ketchum: (gasps) Mom?! (looks up and sees his mother entering the castle) Mom! (runs over to his mother)

Delia Ketchum: (gasps) Ash! Oh, Ash! (runs up to her son and hugs him)

Ash Ketchum: (hugs her) Mom!

Delia Ketchum: My baby! (laughs and sheds tears of happiness) Oh, I'm so happy you're okay! (laughs) When everyone heard that you and your team were being held prisoners in the Beast's castle with Belle, we were worried sick about you!

Ash Ketchum: Mom, it's okay. I'm alright. And so is everyone else. The staff here are really nice and they're letting us stay with Belle as guests. And besides, the Beast is different now. He's somehow beginning to change. Because he's falling in love with our friend.

Delia Ketchum: He is?

Ash Ketchum: Uh-huh.

Heroes: (chatter in agreement)

Ash Ketchum: We'll explain more about that later on in the party.

Beast: (he and Belle giggle) That's not all, Ash. There's still some more.

Serena: (V.O.) Ash? (appears next to his mother)

Ash Ketchum: (gasps) Serena! (hugs her and laughs with joy)

Serena: (hugs him and laughs as well) I've really missed you, Ash!

Ash Ketchum: Me too!

Pikachu: (extremely happy) Pikachu!!

Serena: (giggles and gently pets Pikachu) Hello, Pikachu! It's so great to see you, too!

Pikachu: (nuzzles Serena) Pika....

Serena: This is such a beautiful castle, Ash! I love it!

Ash Ketchum: Well, you should give your compliments to the master who owns the place. And between you and me, he's actually a handsome prince placed under a magic spell due to his cruel nature ten years ago. My team and I are only staying with Belle on the behalf of her father's freedom. While also help the master atone for his past behavior and undo the castle's curse through romance.

Serena: (gasps, looks at Belle and the Beast, and then becomes excited) Oh, I get it! Well, good luck, Ash. I'll be rooting for you.

Ash Ketchum: Thanks, Serena. Could this day on Christmas get any better!?

Professor Oak: Well Ash, there is few more surprises for you who just company with me, Serena and your mother!

Ash Ketchum: More just three of you, who?

Familiar voice (O.V): So this is where you and your friends been all the time!

Ash Ketchum: Huh?

Pikachu: Pika?

(Ash turned to his surprise to see Professor Kukui walk through the door)

Ash Ketchum: Professor Kukui, Alola!!

Professor Kukui: (approach Ash) Alola! (places his hand on Ash's head)

Ash Ketchum: (Laughs) It's been so long, Professor Kukui!

Professor kukui: (chuckle) It sure has.

(Professor Burnet appear behind Professor Kukui, while carrying her and Kukui's son "Lei")

Professor Burnet: Merry Christmas you two!

Ash Ketchum: Professor Burnet, Alola and what a surprise! (Before noticing Lei) and Lei is here too!

Professor Burnet: (smile) That's right and we missed you.

Ash Ketchum: We missed you too.

(Lei reach out to his "big brother" Ash, Ash smile and reaches his hand to Lei's as he excitedly grabs his thumb)

Ash Ketchum: Hi Lei, long time no see (chuckle) you are getting big you know?

(Then an excited Lei began to pat Ash's cheek hard as Ash chuckle)

Serena: (giggle at Lei patting Ash's cheek) He's so cute!

Delia Ketchum: He really is. Hello there, Lei.

Belle, Beast, and the castle servants: (at the sight of Professor Burnet's baby son) Aww...

Professor Burnet: (giggles) Lei, now, now.

(Lei stops. Burnet smile at Ash)

Professor Burnet: Lei missed his big brother and he's really happy to you again.

Ash Ketchum: He sure has, hasn't he, Pikachu?

Pikachu: Pika (in agree)

Familiar voice (O.V): Alola, Godfather Ash.

Ash Ketchum: Huh?

Pikachu: Pika?

(a familiar person walk through the door it was Lusamine)

Lusamine: And merry Christmas.

Ash Ketchum: Lusamine!?

Mohn: (appeared next to Lusamine) We just glad to see you and your friends safe and sound, Godfather.

Ash Ketchum: Mohn, what are you both doing here!?

Lusamine: Well, Professor Kukui told us that a certain gentleman (referring to the Beast) is hosting a big Christmas celebration.

Mohn: So, he invited us to come to visit you and join in the festivities at his castle. And I must say, it looks magnificent! But it's not just the professors and their son. Nor me and the rest of my family.

Lusamine: It's also your classmates from Alola Region school.

Ash Ketchum: The rest of the...........wait a minute, if you two and the professors are here? Then (thinking face turn into a surprised face) that must mean!!

Familiar voices: (V.O.) ALOLA SURPRISE!!

(Running through the entrance door was none other than Ash's classmates from Alola Region. One of them run up to Ash and hug him tight)

Lillie: Oh Ash, thank goodness you alright, I miss you so much!

Ash Ketchum: (Surprise) Lillie!? (Hug her back and happy to see her again) what a surprise to see you again!!

-

(The castle servants are emotionally touched at the family reunions our heroes are having.)

Belle: (to the Beast) You found their families for them? That was so sweet of you! But how?

Beast: It's a little secret. (holds his magic mirror behind his back and puts it away; winks at Genie and gives him a thumbs up while Genie does the same in return) Belle, I wish I would've done the same thing for your father. But considering the fact of how I've mistreated him when he came to the castle, it probably won't happen. Someday, once the spell is broken, I promise I will atone for my cruelty towards him and maybe he will forgive me.

Belle: Oh, I'm sure he will. And I do hope my father is alright. I really miss him so much.

Beast: Don't worry. I can assure you that he's safe. And maybe one day, you'll reunite with him again.

Belle: Thank you. (looks at the starry sky out the window) Did you hear that, Papa? I'll be seeing you again someday.

Beast: (giggles and clears throat) So, did you all like your little surprise?

Misty: Like it? We love it!!!

Brock: How can we ever thank you?

Beast: (chuckle) No need to thank me. They're most welcome to my castle as my guests. But they must remember that the enchantress's spell will be our little secret. Your families cannot tell anyone about it. Understand?

Heroes: Yes.

Beast: Very good. Now, let the celebration begin!

(Everyone cheers and they begin celebrating. First, they begin the celebration as they all share and open gifts together. As they open their presents, they all tell their families stories of their past adventures and everything they've done while they were on their journey.)

Mrs. Potts: Madams and monsieurs, dinner is served.

(Later, they are all gathered at the dinner table, and they had a big feast. Ash's Alola Pokémon eat their meals with Pluto, Sultan, Scooby-Doo, and Chomper's parents. And finally, they all gathered to dance, play music, and sing carols. Chomper's parents, who are full from the feast, lay down and sleep while enjoying the music. To end it all, anyone who have their love interests kiss under the mistletoes. Everyone cheers happily as Ash and Serena kiss under the mistletoe as the Christmas celebration comes to an end. Just then, they hear sleigh bells coming from outside. They hurry to the window and much to everyone's surprise, including Belle, the Beast, and the castle servants, they all catch a glimpse of jolly old Santa Claus flying his magical sleigh with his team of reindeer into the night. This was truly a magical and enchanted Christmas everyone has ever had. And Belle as well as the Beast could never have been happier. Then we cut back to the present.)

Mrs. Potts: And what a wonderful Christmas it was. I suppose if anyone saves Christmas it was Belle with the help of Ash, Littlefoot and everyone else.

Ash Ketchum: That's right, Mrs. Potts. And the rest as they say is history.

(The others nodding in agree)

Littlefoot: (Yawning and Roo's voiceover) What a great story.

Chumley: (Eeyore's voiceover) I just love a happy ending.

Mickey Mouse: You said it, Chumley, right Pluto?

Pluto: (barking in agreement and pants happily)

Prince Adam: Merry Christmas one and all.

Everyone: (applauds) Merry Christmas!

Ash and friends: Merry Christmas, Belle and Prince Adam!

Cogsworth: And Merry Christmas to you, sir!

Lumiere: Merry Christmas, everyone! (laughs)

Belle: I believe we have a little something for you, Chip. (giggles)

Chip: A present? Oh, boy, thank you!

Littlefoot: Open it, Chip.

Chip: (opens his present, happily) Look, Mama! A storybook! Would you read it to me?

Mrs. Potts: I love to, son.

Chip: Oh, boy!

Prince Adam: Maestro?

(The guests move aside to reveal that Fife is now the new Maestro and the new court composer for Forte's legacy)

Fife: Yes, master?

Prince Adam: Would you do us the honor, old friend?

Fife: I'd be delighted! (giggles)

(Maestro Fife plays his piccolo and the orchestra music strikes up. Prince Adam leads Belle out onto the balcony and gives her a gift as a special reward for breaking the spell and they even firstly defeated Forte and then Gaston. She opens it and finds a single rose after the Enchantress'. They turn and look out at the night heavens together)

# The one thing we're looking for #

# Is something we can't see #

# Far more precious than silver #

# And more splendid than gold #

# This is something to treasure #

# But it's something we can't hold #

# Hold #

[Together]

# As long as there's Christmas #

# I truly believe #

# That hope is the greatest #

[Together]

# Of the gifts we'll receive #

# We'll receive #

- # As we all pray together #

- # Oh, oh #

# It's a time to rejoice #

# And though we may look different #

[Together]

# We'll all sing with one voice #

# Oh, oh #

[Together]

# As long as there's Christmas #

# I truly believe #

# That hope is the greatest #

# Of the gifts we'll receive #

# As long as there's Christmas #

# We'll all be just fine #

# A star shines above us #

- [Woman] # Lighting your way #

- # And mine #

# Oh #

# Light my way #

# You know I will #

[Together]

# As long as there's Christmas #

# I truly believe #

# That hope is the greatest #

# Of the gifts we'll receive #

# As long as our guiding star #

# Shines above #

# There'll always be Christmas #

# So there always will be a time #

# When the world is filled with peace #

# And love ##
