Belle's narration
Belle owns and works at the bookstore in her village. A group of children walk into the store eager to hear Belle's stories, as she is noted to be a great storyteller. Belle agrees to tell a story, but the gang also plays games and learns some simple lessons on life. Belle narrates two Disney cartoons, Morris the Midget Moose and Hansel and Gretel, while the children help Belle clean the bookstore. She also reads The Wise Little Hen and The Three Little Pigs, but Shawn and Harmony will not help make chili for the group. Along the way, Belle adds music and interacts with the children.
Mrs. Potts' Party
Mrs. Potts is feeling depressed due to dreadful weather, and Belle decides to cheer her up by throwing a surprise party for her. Belle has come to look at Mrs. Potts as a mother figure by this point. During preparations for the party, Belle and her friends avoid waking up the sleeping Beast. He spent the previous night fixing a leak in the roof. Lumiere and Cogsworth argue and compete over composing music, choosing Mrs. Potts' favorite flowers, and choosing the flavors of the cake that will be served at the party. Two oven mits, Chaude and Tres, each side with one of them.
Their attempt to sabotage each other's decisions has consequences. The baking cake explodes, making a mess in the kitchen. After a scolding from Belle, they decide to work together to make a small surprise for Mrs. Potts. The plan goes well, Mrs. Potts is cured of her depression, and the sun shines again. Lumiere and Cogsworth learn that if they work with each other instead of against each other, they can create something special, accompanied by the song A Little Thought.
