The Magician and the Beast

BANG! Smoke filled the room of a small hut on the outskirts of a tiny village and the door flew open to reveal a smudge covered young man stumbling outside to the ground coughing from the blue smoke that filled his home. "Definitely the wrong ingredients," he muttered as he stood back up and brushed the dirt off his clothes.

"You know...maybe if you had a little more time to focus...then maybe the potion would've been ready." A sarcastic voice called.

"I was focusing, George," snapped the young human, "Can I help that I was only trying to use a substitute to avoid suspicion from the village?"

"No...not really." The voice said that belonged to his familiar cat George.

"I just wish I could fit in a little better," said the young wizard as he stood up, "Well, looks like I'm gonna have to make another trip into town again."

"Well, at least you stand out," George said.

The young man looked at his cat rolling his eyes. "And that's supposed to make me feel better how exactly?" he asked.

"Well, you're the only guy who has powers...and also a handsome talking cat." George said.

The boy smiled. "What would I do without you, George?" he asked ruffling the cat's head, "Well, might as well get this trip over with." He went back into his house and carried with him a pouch of money and a basket in hand. He had a cloak draped across his shoulders and a tattered hat on top.

Meanwhile, some of the villagers noticed Felix but...stepped away since they felt he was different than everyone

The boy, who was named Felix, knew he was a bit of an outcast and introvert by nature. Therefore, he didn't talk to anyone and just proceeded to the market.

But yet...far away, someone was admiring Felix but for all the wrong reasons.

Felix had just finished his shopping when he met with a huge, muscular man standing in his path. "Hello, Caleb," he groaned rolling his eyes, "What is it you want this time?"

"Well, for you to join me at the tavern, and...come look at my trophies huh Felix?" Caleb smirked as he led Felix.

"Uh, maybe some other time," said Felix as the two of them passed a group of girls.

"What's wrong with him?" The first girl asked. "He's crazy and weird!" The second added. "He's gorgeous." The third swooned talking about Caleb.

"Please, Caleb. I don't want to go," said Felix slipping out of the man's grip, "Besides, I have very important work to do. So, if you don't mind, I bid you good day." With that, he turned and left for home.

Caleb huffed as he watches Felix. "We'll see about that." He said.

Felix looked back and noticed that someone had hung a bucket up in the air by the use of a pulley system. He smirked as he kicked at a rock that was holding the bucket up and the bucket soon fell and landed on top of Caleb's head.

Caleb yelped as the bucket landed on him.

Felix, grateful for the distraction, made a run for it back to his house.

Caleb growled and then stomped on back to the tavern.

Once Felix was at home, he closed the door behind him and groaned as he slid down to the floor. "That Caleb is driving me crazy!" he muttered.

"Well what can ya do? The guys obsessed with ya." George said.

Felix groaned but then his eyes lit up and he grinned. "We'll just have to dampen his spirits, won't we?" he asked George as he got up and rushed over to his cluttered desk where a huge book resided. He opened and flipped through the pages and tapped on a section in its pages. "This should do it," he said grinning and he placed the book on a stand pulling it along to a crystal ball, "Now to see what Caleb is up to."

"If it involves fawning over a statue of you, I'm not interested." George huffed.

"Oh, I have something else in mind for him," chuckled Felix, "We'll do it tonight while he's courting the tavern girls."

"Aaaaand there's the reason why I love you." George smirked

Felix smiled as he picked up George and cuddled with his cat. "And this is why I'm glad you're a cat," he added. That night, Felix hopped on a broomstick with George and flew over to the tavern. When they arrived, they landed on the roof as they saw Caleb leaning against the door waiting for any girls to approach when he saw a young blonde approach the tavern.

She was walking inside the tavern with Caleb grinning after her.

Felix smirked as he pulled out a potion bottle with a dropper and then dripped one drop of a blue liquid that hit Caleb's head and it absorbed into his hair.

"Hey! What the?!"

Suddenly, a small storm cloud grew over his head and Caleb ran out screaming as the cloud began to rain on him. Felix chuckled as he watched the bigger man get soaked. He looked to George who sat there. "Oh, come on," he said grinning, "That was funny."

"Well I'm glad it's him and not me because you know I don't like getting wet." George retorted.

"Do I have to use this on you whenever I want you to take a bath?" asked Felix smirking as he held up the potion bottle.

George squeaked snd stayed silent.

"That's what I thought," said Felix chuckling, "How about a victory flight to celebrate?"

"Ooooh yeah baby!" George smirked.

They both hopped onto Felix's broom and flew off into the night sky. They flew over the tree tops and rolling slopes and hills. That was until a big gust of wind was driving them off their course home. "What's happening?" yelled Felix as he fought to regain control of his broom.

"W-We're being blown off course!" George squeaked.

"I know but where are we going?" called Felix as he found the forest beneath him had changed from a summer setting to a winter wonderland, "Huh? Where did that come?" It wasn't long till the broom had become frozen and then came to a standstill in the air. "This can't be good," muttered the human as both cat and magician dropped from the air like rocks.

George screamed, "I really hope I land on my feet!"

"I hope we land on something soft!" yelled Felix as they suddenly fount themselves crashing through a tree and then landing head first in a snow bank in the middle of a frozen flower garden. Felix sat up groaning as he shook the snow off his head. "George? George?" he called looking around, "Where are you?"

"I'm alive! And I did land on my feet! Now...if only I can find me a sandwich." George muttered.

Felix sighed rolling his eyes. "You always knew how to look on the comedy side of things," he said as he looked around, "Now... Where are we?" He looked around to find that they were in the courtyard of a tall, dark castle with menacing gargoyles glaring down at them. The young magician looked over to the place where he and George had landed and gasped, "My broom!" In the snow, the broomstick was broken into several pieces, "Now what do we do?"

"Well, we could enter that castle.." George said nervously.

Felix sighed as he picked up the cat in his arms. "Well, let's go in together," he said, "I have a bad feeling about this place."

"You and me both."

Felix gulped as he approached the doors with a lion's head door knocker on each door. He held one of the rings and knocked on the door.

But then the doors open by themselves.

Felix and George peered inside and walked slowly through the open doors. "This place is huge," said Felix as he looked at the main hall around him.

"Very very huge!" George said. "Talk about your fixer-uppers."

"Hello?" called out Felix looking around the entry way, "Is anyone there?"

George gently wiggled out of Felix's arms and walked around.

"George, stay close," said Felix as he walked down the hall and then turned to what appeared to be a parlor with a huge chair facing a fire. He stood in front of the fire warming his hands. "That feels so much better," he sighed in relief while George was rubbing against a mantle clock when they both heard a sneeze. "Bless you," said Felix.

"Bless you." George said.

But Felix froze. "Hold on," he said turning to his cat, "George, I didn't sneeze. I thought you did."

"Ummm...that wasn't me."

"Well, if that wasn't you and it wasn't me..." said Felix as he and George slowly turned to look at the mantle clock on the table.

"Uh-oh..." The clock said nervously.

"Wait a minute," said Felix narrowing his eyes as he picked up the clock, "I smell magic in this place." He began to check the clock over when he heard another voice. "Good evening, Monsieur," it said with a deep French accent. "Who's there?" asked Felix as he set the clock down and picked up a candelabra.

"Over here!"

"Where?" asked Felix turned around when he felt a tap on his shoulder and looked to the candelabra.

"Hello!" The candelabra smirked.

Felix gasped as he dropped the candelabra but soon realized his mistake. "I'm so sorry," he said helping it stand upright again, "Are you alright?"

"Yes I am monsieur, but I must say I wasn't expecting someone like you here.."

"Well, it's a long story," said Felix rubbing the back of his neck when the clock walked over to them with a stern look on his face. "Brilliant," he grumbled, "You just had to open your big, stupid mouth, didn't you Lumière?"

"I'm just trying to show hospitality." Lumière protested.

"But how are you alive?" asked Felix, "I don't remember hearing anything about a magical castle being in this area. I should know because I am a magician... In training."

"It was because an enchantress put a very powerful spell on us..and our master." Lumière said.

"Your master? Well, where is he?" asked Felix confused when they heard a squeaking noise and in came a rolling cart with a tea pot and tea cup on the tray.

"How about a nice spot of tea?" The tea pot asks.

"Well, thank you, ma'am," said Felix bowing his head to the teapot before he picked up the tea cup and sipped his tea.

"Hehe! His lips tickle Mama!" The tea cup giggled. George squeaked.

"Oh, well, hello," said Felix as he set the tea cup near the edge of a table as George hopped up on top and was slowly reaching a paw out seeing the cup was near the edge. "George," said Felix sharply.

But George didn't listen as he kept nudging the cup.

"George... Don't make me give you a bath," said Felix as he held up his Thundercloud potion bottle.

George yowled and ran off.

Felix chuckled and whispered to the tea cup, "Works every time." Suddenly, they all heard a loud growl. "Uh, George... Please tell me that was your stomach," gulped the human as the door to the parlor swung open and the fire went out.

"N-N-No!" George gulped.

"Uh... Lumière? What was that?" asked Felix nervously as another growl could be heard along with the padding of heavy foot falls.

"Ummm...t-that'd be the master." Lumière said.

Felix gulped as a huge shadow fell on him and he slowly turned around as he came face to face with a creature that had the head and horns of a bison; the arms and torso of a bear; the eyebrows of a gorilla; the teeth and mane of a lion; the tusks of a wild boar; and the legs and tail of a wolf. "Uh... You're the master of this castle I presume?" he asked nervously.

The creature growls, "You presume correct..."

"Well, it looks like someone's invited to dinner and it's not me," said George as he tried to make a dash for the door, "See ya!" "Hold it," said Felix waving his hand and the cat froze in mid air and levitated into the magician's arms. "Please... I'm too young to be dessert!" sobbed George.

"Hmph...the only thing you'll be is staying here in this castle." The beast snapped.

"Staying? For how long?" asked Felix as he held George close.

"We'll see about that." The beast snarled.

"Oh yeah?" asked Felix as he waved his hand and the beast appeared in a clown costume, "Oops... Wrong spell."

The beast snarled.

"Okay, I'm sorry," said Felix as he waved his hand and then the beast appeared in his original clothes, "Now where do you want us to stay?" The beast was about to say something when the candelabra pulled on his cape and whispered into his master's ear.

"What?" He asked.

"Well, since this young man and his cat are going to be with us for quite some time, maybe you might think of offering them a comfortable room," suggested Lumière when the beast growled and the candelabra froze with a nervous look on his face, "Then again, maybe not."

George gulped nervously.

Felix held George close. "Look, we didn't come here on purpose," he said to the beast, "I was flying my broom when were caught in a wind storm and then me and my cat sort of... crash landed in your garden."

"Well then...guess you're gonna be here for a while."

"Uh... For how long?" asked Felix nervously.

"We'll see about that." The beast huffed as he stalks off.

Felix and George just stood there until the beast looked back at their frightened faces.

"Well, you both just gonna stay in here?!" He asked.

"Uh... Depends on what room you're gonna put us up in," said Felix as he followed the beast with George still in the wizard's arms.

As they traveled, the beast felt a little nervous cause he did found Felix very handsome.

"Say something to him," whispered Lumière to the Beast.

"Uhhh...i-i hope you like it here." The Beast said.

Lumière waved his candles to convince his master to say more.

"And...I hope your cat feels comfortable as well and..for you to be comfortable as well."

"Thank you," said Felix, "So are we free to go anywhere in the castle?"

"Yes...but..not the West Wing."

"What's in the west wing?" asked Felix.

"It's forbidden!" The Beast thundered.

Felix and George flinched at the outburst before they continued on and arrived at a lavish bedroom.

"Now, if you both need anything...my servants will answer."

"Dinner," whispered Lumière, "Invite him to dinner."

"You two...will...join me for dinner...but that's not a request!" The beast said as he slammed the door.

Felix turned around dropping George. The young magician was shocked but huffed, "Rude much?"

"Hmph, who pissed in his bean curd?" George huffed.

"George please," said Felix as he flopped down on his bed, "Well, if he thinks we're going down to dinner after that, he's got another thing coming." He walked over to the door and began chanting as a wall of light appeared on the door. "That should keep him out," he thought, "If he tries barging in, it's gonna send him flying the other way."

George smirked and snickered.

"He's probably gonna be shocked for life," said Felix as he looked out the window and sighed sadly, "George? Do you think we're doing the right thing staying here?"

George snuggles up against Felix, "I-I dunno. Even I'm just as lost.."

"Well, at least I don't have to keep my magic a secret in this place, unlike some village I know," sighed Felix.

George gently nuzzled his owner.

Felix picked the cat up and hugged him as he heard George purr. Then there was a knock on the door. "Dinner is served," called Cogsworth. "Not interested," called Felix as he walked over to the bed and sat down with George in his arms, "Like I said, if that beast expects to eat with him after the harsh treatment he gave us, he's got another thing coming."

"True that." George purred.

Felix smiled and they heard the clock run off. Meanwhile, the beast was pacing back and forth in the dinning room.

"What is taking him so long?!" The beast huffed.

"Try to be patient, sir," said Mrs. Potts, "After all, the boy got lost and lost his freedom all in one day." "Uh, Master, do you think this boy could be the one to break the spell?" asked Lumière.

"Of course I do!" snapped the Beast. "Look at him...he's so handsome...a-and well look at me!"

"You must help him see past all that," said Mrs. Potts when the door opened and Cogsworth came in. "Good evening," he said nervously.

"Well...where is he?" The Beast asked.

"Oh... Uh... The boy. Yes," said Cogsworth clearing his throat, "Actually, he's in the process of... Circumstances what they are... He's not coming."

And then.... "WHAT?!?!?!" The Beast roared as he ran out, dashing towards Felix's room.

The moment the beast reached Felix's room, he slammed his hand down on the door hard. But his hand bounce back and punched the beast so hard it sent him flying towards the opposite wall. "Serves you right!" called Felix from inside, "Bullseye!"

The beast groaned but growled as he got up.

The staff came up surprised to see their master hitting the door continuously but it always ended with him being blown back.

George just watched with a smirk

"Are you quite finished?" called Felix sounding amused with Beast's failed attempts to get in.

"I thought I told you to come down to dinner!"

"We're not hungry," said Felix crossing his arms, "Plus you can't make me, Mr. Grumpy Pants!"

"You come out here! Or I'll, I'll break down the door!"

"Uh, master," said Lumière, "I could be wrong, but that may not be the best way to win the boy's affections." "Please attempt to be a gentlemen," said Cogsworth. "Ha!" scoffed Felix from the other side, "That's a laugh."

"And yet you're proving to be difficult!" The Beast snapped.

"Gently," said Mrs. Potts, "Gently."

"Will you come to dinner?" The beast asked.

"No," said Felix. Before Beast could retaliate, Cogsworth stopped him. "Suave, gentile," added the clock.

"It would give me...great pleasure if you would come to dinner..."

"Uh... Probably say 'please'," whispered Cogsworth.

"Please?"

"No thank you," said Felix firmly.

"You can't stay in there!"

"Yes I can and I will," retorted Felix.

"Fine...then go ahead and starve!!!" The Beast roared. Then turned to his servants, "If he doesn't want to eat with me...then he doesn't eat at all!" He then sprinted out, slamming the door.

"Oh dear," said Mrs. Potts worriedly, "That didn't go at all well, did it?"

Cogsworth then turned to Lumière, "Lumière, if he comes out or even peeks out, let us know." He said. "You can count on mon capìtan." Lumière said.

Meanwhile, the beast stormed into his room.

"I asked nicely and he refuses!"

Then he walked over to a hand mirror. When he looked at it, the glass glowed brightly before it revealed Felix sitting on his bed with George in his arms and a wardrobe they just recently met. "The master's really not so bad once you get to know him," said the wardrobe, "Why don't you give him a chance?" "I don't want to get to know him," huffed Felix, "I don't want to have anything to do with him!"

But then the Beast settled the mirror down, "Who am I kidding...it's too late for me..." He said softly.

Inside a glass bell jar, a beautiful rose glowed softly before the beast as one of its petals fell.

The beast sighed as he stayed close to his rose.

Later that evening, Felix had removed the spell from the door and opened it slowly. "Coast is clear," he whispered to George, "Let's head to the kitchen before you-know-who finds us."

"Good, because I would like some ceviché." George smiled.

Felix rolled his eyes as he and his cat walked past Lumière, who was currently flirting with a feather duster. "I've been burnt by you before," she giggled.

Lumière grins as he flirts with her then gasps as he sees Felix and George.

The feather duster yelped as she was dropped.

"They have emerged!" Lumière said.

In the kitchen, Mrs. Potts had just put little Chip into the cupboard for bed.

"But I'm not sleepy.." Chip whined.

"Yes you are," said Mrs. Potts softly as she softly closed the cupboard door. Just then, she heard the stove clanging. "I work and I slave all day long and for what?" snapped the stove, "A culinary masterpiece gone to waste?" "Oh, stop your grousing," said Mrs. Potts, "It's been a long day for all of us."

"Well if you ask me, he was just being stubborn, after all, the Master did say please." Cogsworth scoffed.

"But if the master doesn't learn to control that temper," said Mrs. Potts as Felix and George came in, "We might never be able to break this sp-"

"Ahhhh welcome monsieur~!" Cogsworth said.

"Thank you," said Felix, "About earlier, I'm sorry. And to be honest, I am a little hungry." "You are?" asked Mrs. Potts excitedly, "Hear that? He's hungry. Stoke the fire, break out the silver, and wake the china."

"Wait Wait! Let's not get too much." Cogsworth said. "Oh come now Cogsworth." Lumière scoffed.

"Besides, I'm not going to let the poor boy go to bed hungry," said Mrs. Potts, "Especially his cat."

"Alright alright fine! Some bread, and some tea will do-" Cogsworth said. "Nonsense Cogsworth they're our guests!" Lumière smiled.

"Yeah, learn to unwind for a change," said George, "Learn to appreciate the time you have on your hands. Otherwise, all that stress will make you go 'Cuckoo! Cuckoo'!" Felix sighed rolling his eyes. "Really? Clock jokes?" he asked as George shrugged.

"At least it was better than the time you turned me into one of those weird cat clocks." George said.

"You mean like this?" asked Felix smirked as he waved his hand and Felix found himself transformed with his eyes ticking side to side, "So... Have we had enough clock jokes?"

"Ahhhh! Turn me back or take me back to Wimbledon!" George squeaked.

"Do I get to hear a 'please' in there somewhere?" teased Felix.

"Please!"

Felix smirked as he waved his hand and George was back to normal.

George relaxed and smiled, "Oh i feel good.'

"And I hope that will teach you to behave," said Felix crossing his arms at George as Lumière led the two of them to the dinning room.

George rolled his eyes. "Now, keep it down, if the master finds out about this it'll be our necks!" Cogsworth said.

"Of course," said Lumière but he smirked as he added, "But what is dinner without a little... music?"

The door then hits Cogsworth who yelped, "Music?!'

As Felix and George made themselves comfortable at the table, Lumière and the rest of the staff put together a musical number as they offered the young magician and his cat their dinner. Felix smiled as he watched with glee and laughing at the humor that Lumière put into the act.

George was swishing his tail and also watching in glee.

At last came dessert and a grand finale that had Felix amazed.

"Wow.." George was just as amazed.

Felix clapped his hands. "Bravo," he said smiling, "That was wonderful."

"Well thank you so much monsieur." Cogsworth said.

"So... Would it be okay if me and George had a look around the castle?" asked Felix.

"Umm...sure." Cogsworth said.

A while later, Felix and George were following Cogsworth and Lumière down the halls exploring all the corridors and rooms of the castle. Before long, Felix found a dark lonely staircase. "What's up there?" he asked.

Lumière and Cogsworth nervously blocked it. "Umm, nothing! Nothing up in the West Wing." Cogsworth said.

"So that's the West Wing," said Felix. "Nice going," muttered Lumière to Cogsworth. "What's he hiding up there?" asked Felix. "Hiding?" gulped Lumière nervously, "The master is hiding nothing." "Then it wouldn't be forbidden," said Felix as he tried to walk past.

"Perhaps something much better?"

"Maybe later," said Felix as he tried to get around them again.

"Perhaps our library?" Cogsworth asked.

"You have a library?" asked Felix. But George, however, headed on up to the West Wing. "Yeesh, the last thing I need is to be surrounded by more book worms," muttered the cat.

"Yes of course! Just follow us!" Lumière smiled as he and Cogsworth led Felix and George.

George kept on going down the halls to see many broken statues and shattered mirrors. "Wow... Must be the maid's day off," he thought as he came to the doors at the end of the hall. He nudged one of them open and looked inside. Being a cat, it was easy for him to be quiet and stealthy. All around, George saw broken furniture and gnawed bones. "Talk about having a bone to pick," said George when his eyes came across a light. There near the door to the balcony, he saw a rose glowing under a bell jar. He looked around the flower humming. "I've heard of flower power, but I'll bet this is on a whole new different level," he said when his eyes landed on a chord attached to some curtains. He walked over and rubbed against it. He then felt something small at the end of the chord and giggled. "Tassels!" he chortled as he started playing with it, "Don't tickle me you silly stringy thingy. Because I'm the boss." He pulled on it and suddenly, the curtain came down and a curtain rod hit the table the rose was on. George looked over to the table and gasped to see the bell jar had shattered under the curtain rod's impact. "Well, needless to say... Uh-oh spaghetti-o," said George, "I better get Felix."

George ran out and went to find Felix quickly.

Felix was nearing the library when George came up. "George? What's wrong?" asked the human as he knelt down.

"Umm.. we have a little situation." George said nervously.

"George, what did you do?" asked Felix sternly and then looked to the staircase leading to the west wing, "You didn't."

"It was an accident I swear!"

"What did you do?" snapped Felix firmly making his cat flinch. The human growled as he stormed past and went up to the west wing before Cogsworth and Lumière found out what happened.

"I didn't mean to!" George whined.

Felix opened the door to the beast's room and looked around. "What in the world?" he said as he saw the rose and then looked at the glass bell jar. Then he looked at George, "What were you doing in here anyway?" he asked.

"I-i was curious. And, then I saw a tassel and I played with it and that happened! I tried so hard! I'm not a puzzle person!"

"Well, you're lucky this rose wasn't damaged," said Felix, "As for the bell jar, I think I see another one in the corner."

"Well, let's just hurry before...you know who gets back." George gulped.

Felix waved his hand as the broken glass fragments were gathered up and turned to dust. Then he walked over to the side to get the spare bell jar. It was covered in dust but it was an exact twin of the previous one. Felix had just set the jar on top of the rose when there was a loud growl from behind them. The human gulped and looked to George. "I hope that was your stomach," said Felix nervously.

George gulped and squeaked, "N-Nope!"

"Then that must mean..." Felix gulped as he and George looked at each other both saying, "Uh-oh!"

The Beast growled and then ran over to his rose, holding it protectively.

"You see, George?" whispered Felix, "This is where curiosity will lead you every time. We had one rule to follow, and you had to break it!"

George whined and hid against Felix's chest.

Felix held George close in his arms while he looked up at the beast. He could tell that the creature was in no mood for explanations. "S-S-Sorry," he stammered nervously stepping back from the beast, "But now that I know what the source of the enchantment is, I have to tell you that is one nasty curse."

The Beast then slowly calmed down, "Yes...that enchantress...she did this to me."

"Then you must've done something to make her angry," said Felix, "As a magician, I know not to cross paths with an enchanter or enchantress. Their magic is far greater than any normal human magician. Some might say they even found the secret of immortality and youth. But in this case, they would always cast the spell into an object and connect it with a condition towards the victim. If the victim followed the condition, the spell would be removed, but if it's not followed... I'm afraid the changes on the victim would become permanent. That's why we magicians always feared them. They're that powerful."

"She was actually...an old hag but...she melted away to be the enchantress because she wanted shelter in the castle...but..she saw nothing but coldness in my heart."

"And I take it she had a condition for you to follow in order to regain your humanity?" asked Felix as he set George down again. "Well, there's one door to door salesman who won't be making house calls to this place any time soon," retorted the cat. "George!" growled Felix as he pulled out the thunderstorm bottle, "Don't make me use this."

George eeped and quiet down

Felix put the bottle away. "Perhaps we can help each other out," he said the beast, "But first, I might want to ask what your name is... Or was. It would save me a lot of time and effort than just calling you 'the Beast'."

"My original name, was Prince Adam, I used to be..a prince of this castle."

"Well, I'll do what I can to help you, Adam," said Felix, "Now, about the curse. What was it the enchantress said you needed to do in order to break it?"

"If only I could learn to love another and earn their love in return...the spell will be broken."

"Wow... Well, how long do you have?" asked Felix as he looked over to the rose to see a few petals already on the table, "Oh dear."

"Yes...I only have till the last petal falls..."

"I'll do what I can to help," said Felix, "But I'm going to need some ingredients... I've been meaning to experiment a potion for turning George into a human for years. Then maybe I can knock some sense into him."

"Oh please, even if I get back to human...the Witches council would find out." George huffed.

"It would only be temporary," said Felix, "At least not like last time with the shrinking spell." The human shuddered at the memory.

George huffed and just laid on his belly.

"I was so small at the time and George had to carry me everywhere," said Felix to Adam. "It took all my strength not to eat him," replied the cat.

"That really did happen?"

"Yeah, I was still studying under my master," said Felix, "I was trying to find a spell to make plants grow but it went a little askew."

"And by askew, he means, doing it wrong." George snickered.

Felix raised an eyebrow at George and then pulled out an eye dropper and dropped it on the cat's head making a rain cloud form on top of George. Suddenly tiny bolts of lightning shocked the cat as well as pouring rain on top of him.

George yowled, "Ahhh! I'm wet!"

"Serves you right for breaking the first bell jar," said Felix and then looked at Adam whispering, "It's only temporary, but don't tell him. I just wanted to teach George a lesson."

"I'll keep that in mind.'

Felix smiled. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a some herbs to hunt down," he said as he walked out of the room with a very wet George following behind.

George of course grumbling at being wet.

Later, Felix had left the castle grounds with a basket in his arms. He reached into the basket and pulled out a slip of parchment. "Well, the healing herbs I'm looking for should be around here somewhere," he said looking around as they walked further in. However, the further in they went, the spookier the surroundings looked.

George gulped, "Maybe we should go back."

"Just a little bit longer," said Felix as he picked up a few mushrooms.

George whined and stayed close to Felix

Suddenly, there was a low growl from behind George.

George squeaked, "I-I really think we should leave!"

"George, will you stop?" grumbled Felix turning around, "Nothing's going to-" But he went pale as he was face to face with a large wolf along with several others.

George whimpered and ran to his masters arms

Felix tried to reach for his thunder cloud bottle but couldn't find it. "Uh oh!" he gasped and looked to the tree behind him and to George, "Start climbing!"

George yelped and ran, climbing as best as he could

Felix tried his best, but he felt a wolf grab his leg and pull him back down with a thud. The boy gasped as he tried to get away, but the wolf who pulled him down was snarling and was about to take a bite when something pulled him away.

The Beast was there and then protecting Felix and George.

The wolves growled and attacked Adam from all sides trying to overwhelm him.

But no matter what, Adam fought back.

Before long, the wolves had to retreat. But Adam was badly wounded.

Felix and George came down and helped him up.

"Are you okay?" asked Felix as he helped Adam onto his feet and helped him back to the castle, "You had us worried for moment... I was worried."

"I-i'm fine..."

"But your bleeding," said Felix noticing the wounds, "Fortunately, I have enough healing herbs that can help."

"Well, once we get back to the castle." George said.

When they arrived, Felix had Adam lay down in his bed. "I hope those wolves weren't carrying anything," said Felix as he was mixing the herbs.

"Me neither..I hate those cold tables doctors have and the probing..oh the probing." George whined.

"George, I was talking about Adam," said Felix as he managed to liquify the ingredients, "Hand me those bandages."

George then grabbed the bandages.

Felix held his hand out as George dropped the bandages from his mouth and the human soaked them in the medicine.

With a bit of warm water from Ms Potts.

Felix had a wet rag and then approached Adam. "Better clean the wound so it doesn't get infected," he said as he held up the rag to the beast.

But Adam growled as he held his arm.

"Adam please," said Felix, "If you don't let me clean it, it's going to get infected... Or worse. Please."

Adam then sat still and just let Felix do his work.

The human carefully cleaned wound as best he could and then began to gently rub in the healing herbs in a salve he created.

Adam's servants and George all watched carefully in case Adam reacted.

"I know it might sting a little but trust me it's for your own good," said Felix as he finally wrapped the bandages around Adam's arm. Then he felt the beast's forehead. "I think it might be best if you get some rest," he said his voice full of concern.

Adam soon felt his body feel limp and slowly went to sleep

Felix then turned to George. "We have to go inside and fight the infection ourselves. Where's that medical capsule at? And more importantly, do we have plenty of healing salve?" asked the young man.

"I think we do but...that capsule...umm..." George said.

"You're coming with me," said Felix and then he looked to Mrs. Potts, "Make sure he's asleep while we go in."

"I'll look after him child, you and George do what you must."

"Thank you," said Felix as he held George close and with a wave of his hand, he and the cat were shrunk down to fit inside the capsule, which was actually fitted to be more like an air ship. Turning a few gears, he flew the capsule into Adam's mouth and then turned a few screens and lights to monitor the beast's condition.

George stayed close and then the two were inside Adam's body

"Well, the body seems to be in good condition," said Felix as he settled the capsule on a blood vessel, "But just in case... Prepare to dispense the salve into the blood stream."

"I'll keep that in mind when I'm not getting blood on my fur."

Felix rolled his eyes as he pulled a lever and a panel opened up under the capsule as the salve flowed out and into the blood vessel. "There," said Felix as he directed the ship upwards and then came out in a slightly moist area. "Here we are at our only exit near the sinuses," said Felix as he set the capsule down but when he tried to start it up. "Uh oh," he said, "Uh... George, please tell me we refueled this thing before use?"

"Ummmm... no." George said nervously.

"Oh no," said Felix, "We're stuck. I'm gonna go see if Adam's okay." He took a panel and then stepped outside the capsule and looked around them. "We're definitely inside his nose," he said, "But without fuel, we're stuck here. How are we gonna help him if we're trapped?"

"We just need to make him sneeze but...I really need to pee!" George whined.

"I have an idea," said Felix as he walked along the walls, "I'm betting these are the sinuses."

"Well how are you gonna get him to sneeze?"

"Well, if we can just put an irritant into the sinuses, maybe we can make Adam sneeze," said Felix as he came over to his cat and held him in his arms, "And since many people are allergic to..."

"Noooooooo!' George cried.

Back in the West Wing, Mrs. Potts was growing worried when Cogsworth and Lumière came in. "Mrs. Potts, where did Felix and George go?" asked the candelabra when Adam started sniffing.

"They went inside the master to take care of his health but they've been in him for a while."

Meanwhile, Felix was busy rubbing a reluctant cat against Adam's sinuses.

"Oh gross! Oh gross, gross, gross!" George whined.

Suddenly, they felt Adam's nose shake. "He's gonna blow!" gasped Felix as he carried George in his arms back to the capsule.

Adam then sneezed hard sending the capsule out

The capsule went soaring through the air as Felix tried to gain control. "We're out," he said smiling when he and George looked out to see they were heading straight for Cogsworth and he was opening his mouth to speak. "AAAAH!" screamed the human and cat as Felix waved his hand and both he and George reappeared in the room falling to the floor with the clock started to choke for a moment and cough.

"Wow...that was crazy!" George said

"Well, at least we're back in one piece," said Felix and he looked to Adam smiling softly and then to Mrs. Potts, "How is he?"

"He's feeling a lot better."

"Good," said Felix as he sat next to Adam holding his big paw when he woke up, "How're you feeling?"

"Still a bit heavy but...I feel better...thank you."

Felix smiled. "That healing salve should be working its wonders for you," he said, "I was afraid I'd never get a chance to thank you." Mrs. Potts led the others out of the room and even led George out before closing the door behind them. When they were alone, Felix leaned in and kissed Adam on the lips.

Adam kisses Felix back and nuzzled him.

"Mind if we stay like this for a while? I want to make sure you don't have any side affects from my magic," said Felix almost feeling ashamed, "That's the last thing I want to happen."

"I'll stay with you, I promise."

"Thanks," said Felix as he lay next to Adam and yawned, "I'll be honest... Using all that magic... Really takes a lot out of me."

"You need to rest, relax and rest your magic."

Felix closed his eyes as he felt Adam's soft fur wrap around him making him feel safe and warm.

Adam cuddled Felix softly and closed his eyes.

When morning came, Felix was still asleep in Adam's arms when George made his way in.

"This is quite an interesting development."

Felix yawned sitting up to see George next to him. "And a good morning to you too," he said, "Did you sleep well?"

"Yes I did.'

"Same here," said Felix, "You know, Adam seems like such a charmer." Suddenly, sparks flew and the beast appeared in a snake charmer's outfit. "Uh oh," said the human worriedly.

"Ohhh boy, punnitis." George said.

It was then they heard Adam waking up and Felix quickly restored the beast's appearance. "That was a close shave," said Felix when suddenly shaving cream appeared on Adam's face along with a white barber cape, "Oops."

George sighed and shook his head.

"Uh... Morning," said Felix nervously when Adam woke up to find his face covered with shaving cream, "I can explain... I actually, I can't explain because I'm under the weather." Suddenly, a storm cloud appeared and began raining on top of him. "Darn my punnitis!" he whined.

"Punnitis?"

"It's sort of like a flu for magicians," explained George, "Like when you say something that sounds almost like a pun or nickname and then it happens for real." "And earlier I made you appear as a snake charmer," said Felix blushing, "This is so embarrassing. I feel like the elephant in the room." Suddenly, a baby elephant appeared next to their bed and Felix groaned burying his face in his hands. "See?" he muttered.

Adam's jaw dropped at the whole thing.

Felix waved his hand and the elephant disappeared. "At least I don't have a foot in the grave," he said when suddenly, a large shoe in the shape of a coffin appeared on the human's left foot, "Darn it!"

George just closed his eyes halfway, "Just ridiculous..."

"Maybe we should head down to breakfast," said Felix as he made the coffin shoe disappear, "I could use a bite." Suddenly, a pair of dentures appeared and bit his arm. "OW!" he yelped trying to fling the teeth off his arm only landing into Adam's arms, "Sorry. Punnitis can be really embarrassing for us magicians if we're not careful."

"That...and absolutely hilarious." George smirked. "Hehe, i remember when he had done the Cat got your tongue and I used it to groom me."

"Don't ask," whispered Felix to Adam as they made their way down to the dinning room.

"Oooh! Imagine the grooming purposes." George giggled to himself.

"My master kept picking cat hairs out of his tongue for weeks," whispered Felix as they made it to the table, "I just hope it doesn't rain on my parade." Suddenly, the rain cloud appeared and started raining on top of Felix. He groaned face palming himself. "What am I gonna do?" he muttered.

"Hopefully find a cure." Adam said.

"I tried that, but I only made things worse," said Felix, "My old master knew what to do every time. Hey, maybe I can shoot him a letter." No sooner had he said that as his finger was pointing at the window behind Adam when something shot out of Felix's finger with a loud BANG! It speed past Adam's head and crashed through the window. Felix covered his mouth in shock. "I'm so sorry," he said.

"I'll just have my servants fix that."

Then a man with a gray beard appeared before them holding a letter "Y" in his hand. "Uh... Hi, Master Henry," stammered Felix nervously, "I see you've got my letter." He was still too embarrassed to talk about his condition.

George groaned, "Oh boy."

"I got your letter," said the old man, "Let me guess. Punnitis?" Felix gulped and nodded his head as Chip and Mrs. Potts came up on the tea trolley, "But at least no one flew off the handle." Suddenly, Chip let out a scream. They all looked to see his handle nose fell off and lay next to him. "What happened to my nose?!" he cried. Felix gasped and waved his hand to make it stick on again. "Sorry," he said, "I should've warned you about my punnitis."

George shook his head, "Talk about humiliating."

"At least I didn't bring the house down," said Felix when there was a loud crash out front, "Oh no!" They all ran to the main hall and outside was Felix's old hut. "Well... At least I don't have to go very far to get my things," he said chuckling nervously.

"No...no you don't." George said.

"Definitely punnitis," sighed Master Henry shaking his head. "Think we can have breakfast and talk some turkey?" asked Felix. Master Henry was about to say more when he started to gobble like a turkey and he covered his mouth in shock.

George just smirked and giggled.

But Henry gave a glare at the cat. "I still haven't forgiven you for putting cat hair on my tongue from last time," he said.

"Still picking up my fur?" George teased.

Henry scowled as he zapped George with a bolt. "That cat," he grumbled and looked to Felix, "First of all, I haven't had a good meal yet. Mind if I use the kitchen?" "Of course, monsieur," said Lumière as he led the way. Felix was surprised at how calm his master was taking in everything around him. He and Adam followed Henry inside and sat at a table. "Maybe we can have some ice cream later," said Felix as he sat down. However, when the ice box opened its door, Cogsworth looked inside to see a huge eye and it let out a loud scream before the clock shut the door. "Master! There's an eye screaming in the ice box!" he cried.

George yowled and ran out.

Felix groaned face palming himself. "How am I supposed to spend the day without saying something I'll regret later?" he complained.

"Let's try taping his mouth closed." George said.

"No you will not!" snapped Felix but then groaned, "This has been a real monkey on my back." Suddenly, he felt something heavy gripping his shoulders and chattering. The boy growled in exasperation. "I have a chimpanzee on my back, don't I?" he muttered. "Definitely," said the others.

"This is really getting out of hand." George said.

Felix groaned burying his head in his arms. Soon, he felt the chimp leave and felt a gentle paw rubbing his back.

Adam was comfortingly rubbing Felix's back then held him close.

"What would I do without you?" said Felix snuggling into Adam's arms. "A fine kettle of fish," said George, "Say it. Oh please, say it!"

"Not on your life you rotten cat." Henry huffed.

"George, don't be a bone head," said Felix when suddenly the cat appeared with a bone sticking out from the sides of his head.

"Heeeeey!"

Felix chuckled. "And they say old puns are bad," he said giggling.

Adam smirked and rubbed Felix's back.

"So... what do I do until I get better?" asked Felix to his master, who was already working on a cure.

"Just hang onto Adam while I make your cure."

"Okay," said Felix and looked to Adam, "Well, can you tell me more about the staff here?"

"Well...Lumière is our host while Cogsworth is the caretaker of the castle."

"Well, Lumiere seems like a real dear," said Felix when there was a scream somewhere and the boy froze looking at Adam, "I'm so sorry."

"That's alright."

"I hope my master gets that cure made soon," said Felix worriedly.

"Don't worry, I'll be there for you."

"Thank you," said Felix hugging Adam, "So, what can you tell me about yourself? You know to pass the time until my master has the cure ready?"

"Well... I-I'm actually a prince. But... I was seen selfish, spoiled, and unkind...and that was led to me being cursed."

"I figured," said Felix, "But what about your parents? What are they like?"

"I-I never knew them."

"Oh... I'm sorry," said Felix, "But if you never knew your parents, how do you know that you're a prince?"

"I don't know. Probably was deemed one. Not really sure."

"Well, there must've been someone who loved you," said Felix, "Nobody can just appear out of nowhere."

"Well, it was mostly my servants who cared for me."

"You mean your parents never got the chance to know you? That's awful!" said Felix shocked.

"Yeah, it's a sad revelation."

"But at least you're around people who truly care about you," said Felix, "I know I do."

"Me as well..." Adam said as George came back out.

Felix could see the bone in George's head disappeared as the feline came up and made himself comfortable. "So, George, is Master Henry done making the cure yet?" asked Felix, "I'm on pins and needles." Suddenly, he let out a loud "Ouch!" He looked down and saw a pin cushion sticking out from where he was sitting.

"Yes..yes he is."

"Thank goodness," sighed Felix as he rubbed his rear, "The sooner I'm rid of my punnitis the better."

"But oh well, it was funny while it lasted."

"Is that so?" asked Felix as he winked at Adam, "Why don't I give you a hand?" Then a giant disembodied hand appeared and it was reaching out to grab George.

George yelped and ran away.

Felix chuckled as he and Adam went down to see the magician's master.

George just grumbled while Henry awaited both Felix and Adam

Felix arrived and he was given a potion. "Well... I don't feel any different," he said and then replied as he looked to George, "This is a fine kettle of fish." But nothing happened. Felix smiled hugging his master. "Thank you so much!" he said.

"You're welcome my apprentice."

"I hope I get to see you again... And become an official magician," said Felix as he let go of his master.

"I know you'll do good."

And with that, Master Henry disappeared in a puff of smoke. Felix smiled and turned to Adam. "So, let's see if I can't find your parents?" he asked, "You were there for me when I had punnitis and you saved me from the wolves, so I owe you that much."

"Well, it would help me a lot.."

"I'll have to use your library though... And a few items that you held most dear before your transformation," said Felix, "In order for me to find your parents, I'll need something that's closely related to them like a picture, family heirloom... Something."

George on the other paw was lazily rummaging through the library.

Felix came in and waved his hands as an assortment of books came off the shelf and swirled around him. One of them popped out and nearly hit George.

George yowled and ran out.

"George," said Felix as he waved his hand to lift up the cat and waved another hand to set the books onto a table, "Come back here. I need your help with something. What do you know about a heritage spell?"

"Well, I don't know much about heritage spells, but I do know a few locating spells."

"That could be useful," said Felix as he went through his spell book.

"Yes indeed."

Felix looked through the pages. "Found it," he said, "Go find Adam. I asked him to find something that might closely link him to his parents."

"Got you." George said as he walks out.

Felix looked through the book just as Cogsworth, Lumière and Mrs. Potts came in. "What might you be up to, dearie?" asked Mrs. Potts. "I'm trying to conduct a locating spell to find Adam's parents," replied Felix as he wrote down a few notes on some parchment.

The servants all gasp in shock.

Felix looked up. "What's wrong?" he asked, "Don't you want your master to know where he came from?"

"Sorry but...we really don't talk about the masters parents." Cogsworth said.

"Why not?" asked Felix crossing his arms, "And don't make me use a truth spell."

"Because the masters father...well...he never really cared for him. So...they just dumped him here." Cogsworth said.

"But was he a king?" asked Felix, "Why would he abandon his own son?"

"Yes...but he was probably jealous of his sons handsomeness or just didn't want him." Mrs. Potts said.

"Well, did Adam ever try to find him?" asked Felix thinking it was about time they tried to reconnect. And if that didn't work, he had another plan up his sleeve.

"Well, the king demanded that we spoke no word to the master."

"Why not?" asked Felix crossing his arms, "I thought a king would be glad to have an heir."

"Well...not really...he was just as selfish."

"Well, nothing says pay back like 'Just Desserts'," said Felix as he turned a page in his spell book and revealed the spell to the others.

The servants smiled and nodded

"But it's only to be used as a last resort," said Felix, "We might want to deal with him the mortal way first." "You mean throw tomatoes?" asked Chip. "No," said Felix, "Talk to him."

"Aww...sounds boring. Oooh! How about expand his butt like a monkey." Chip giggled.

"Chip," said Mrs. Potts sternly. "Oh, that would be a nice gift," said Lumière rolling his eyes until he paused and grinned, "Actually, that's a very nice gift. Good thinking, Chip." "Now everyone calm down," said Felix, "Once I cast the locating spell and talk to Adam's father, we'll sort this whole thing out. And no one seeks vengeance until I say so."

"Wish that could've happened to that dog that barked at me non-stop." George huffed.

"Well, he's a dog and you're a cat," said Felix, "What did you expect?"

George just rolls his eyes and huffs.

Felix had everything ready as Adam arrived into the room.

"George said you wanted to see me?"

"Yes, I'm about ready to perform the locating spell," said Felix, "Did you bring what I asked for?"

Adam held out some hair follicles.

"Okay, and now for the spell," said Felix as he looked through his book with George there to guide him.

George sat down and began reading the spell with small round glasses on his eyes.

Felix then began chanting as a circle formed under the hair Adam brought and then a beam of light shot towards a nearby globe and then projected an image of a king sitting on his throne.

"W-What is this?" Adam asked.

"That's supposed to be your father," said Felix, "I used a locating spell to help us find him."

"T-That's my actual father?"

"Yes," said Felix, "And I think its time we find out what he thinks of his son, shall we? Adam, you stay here with George. I managed to make a new flying broomstick a while back and I think now's as good a time to test it.

"Okay..."

Felix mounted his broom and then took off through an open window and into the open air.

Adam and George watched him as he flew off

Felix flew on for half an hour till he arrived at the castle of Adam's father. He landed in the nearby forest and made his way to the palace.

The palace was huge compared to the castle

Felix was allowed in thanks to a little magical persuasion and he walked up to the king. "Greetings, your majesty," he said bowing, "I seek an audience on a personal matter that concerns you greatly."

"Hmph, thanks but this better be worth my time.."

"It should," said Felix, "It's about your son, Prince Adam."

The king stopped, "And...what you want to talk to me about that brat?"

"Brat? Sire, he is your son, and you feel nothing towards him? Do you even know what he's going through at all?" said Felix feeling shocked that the king would talk about his own flesh and blood that way.

"No...and frankly I don't care what happens to him. I am so glad I sent him away with the rest of my pathetic staff.'

"They are a perfect staff," said Felix firmly, "And how dare you say that about your own flesh and blood, and your heir?"

"Who cares? As far as I'm concerned, he can do whatever for all I care. I never really needed an heir anyway."

Felix growled. "You're going to regret that," he said darkly as he turned and left. A while later, Felix came into the kitchen and met with the staff. "Well, you were right about that tyrant," he said as he turned to George, "It's time to break out the No. 10 cauldron."

"I still say we should've made his butt a monkey butt." Chip said as he was next to George. "Believe me...that's a hilarious revenge spell."

"Yes, but for now, I think this calls for the biggest spell there is," said Felix as he opened his book to "Just Desserts" and George grinned knowing it would be something that was guaranteed to make sure the king got what was coming to him.

George and Chip soon sat on either side of Felix while they bubble up the cauldron

Soon Adam and Mrs. Potts came in to see the three of them around a giant cauldron in the kitchen. "More lizards leg, and don't skimp on the owlets wing," said Felix as he continued stirring the cauldron. "Let's add some of these old cocktail onions," said chip as he hopped over with a bottle inside his bowl, "It's been in the ice box forever." "Yeah," said Felix grinning.

"Oooh this is gonna be good!" George said.

"And what smells so sweet?" asked Mrs. Potts curiously Lumière and Cogsworth also entered. "Revenge," replied Felix, "It's time to teach Adam's father a lesson he'll never forget."

"Oh dears there's no need to be so petty." Mrs. Potts said.

"Have you met him?" asked Felix, "Do you know what he said?" The teapot shook her head. "The king called all of the staff pathetic. And he also said he didn't care what happened to Adam. Now's the time to give him his just desserts. And this brew needs to be ready by tonight." They could all hear thunder rumbling outside.

"Well then...I guess it's time we gave that selfish king what he deserves." Mrs Potts said firmly. Chip smiling widely.

And later that night, Felix was dressed in black along with Adam and the rest of the castle servants.

Everyone had their own little witch/warlock hat and accessories while George just had a black collar.

"Is it revenge yet?" asked Chip. Felix dipped a finger into the brew and tasted it. "It's really spiteful," he said, "Now to finish the spell:

"Adders fork and blind worms sting,

Lizard's leg and owlet's wing,

For a charm of powerful trouble,

Fire burn and cauldron bubble.

Fair is foul and foul is fair,

Hover through fog and fill the air."

Then they all stood still as the cauldron glowed brightly and then faded. "So, what now?" asked Cogsworth. "And now, we wait," said Felix before the magician laughed evilly.

"We just need to be patient."

Felix walked up to Adam. "How's the rose?" he asked softly.

"It's still wilting...I'm not sure if it'll last long.."

"Don't worry," said Felix softly caressing the beast's face, "You'll make it. I believe in you."

Adam gently nuzzled Felix.

Felix then did something neither one of them was expecting. Cupping the beast's cheek, he planted a small kiss on Adam's lips.

Adam's eyes widen in shock from the kiss.

Felix broke the kiss and blushed. "I... I'm sorry," he said turning away, "I... I think I should-"

But Adam gently grabbed Felix's arm and pulled him back, kissing him.

This time, Felix closed his eyes and hugged Adam's neck as their kiss deepened. "Can... Can I sleep with you again tonight?" he whispered into the beast's ear.

"I would be pleased if you did."

The human followed the beast up to the west wing and the moment they were in Adam's room, they resumed kissing each other.

Adam held Felix close and gently ran his paw through his hair.

"I'll be honest with you," said Felix softly, "These past couple of days have been the best I've ever had."

"And...I'm glad you're now adjusting to the castle."

"Adam... Have you ever had sex?" asked Felix softly as he reached down to feel Adam's crotch.

"No...I never have.."

"Do you want to?" asked Felix softly as he placed a gentle hand over Adam's heart.

"Yes.."

Felix smiled as he slipped off his clothes and led Adam to the bed while still kissing the beast tenderly.

Adam gently shed his cloak and pants as he followed Felix. Still kissing him.

"You know, for a beast, you're so handsome... In a rather furry kind of way," said Felix blushing.

"And.. you're so beautiful..."

"You... You really think I'm beautiful?" asked Felix blushing, "I... I can't remember the last time anyone's ever called me that... Well, other than Caleb, but he was only seeing me as a means of raising his social status. But... How do you see me?"

"I-I do..and..you're so handsome and beautiful..."

"But... Is that all you see in me?" he asked, "In you, I see a kind, gentle soul who's searching for love and acceptance... One who's endured hard times but will triumph in the end."

"I-I also see you in that way too..."

Felix smiled as he kissed Adam deeply feeling his cock grind up against the beast's sheath.

Adam kisses Felix back and gently grinds back.

Felix moaned in the kiss and could feel something warm and wet slipping out of Adam's sheath.

And it was Adam's huge warm cock.

Felix smiled and began kissing down Adam's chest along with sucking on his exposed nipples while slowly stroking the Beast's cock.

Adam moaned at the kisses and sucks to his chest and nipples. Then gasps at the strokes.

Felix then kissed his way down and began to lick the cock tip.

Adam groans and roars softly at the licks.

Felix paused. "I'm sorry... Did I hurt you?" he asked softly.

"No..I'm just..not used to these amazing sensations.."

Felix smiled. "Trust me," he said, "It'll get better." He leaned down to lick the cock again and then began to suck on it bobbing his head up and down.

Adam laid on his back and softly moaned, arching his back up from the licks and sucks.

The human could tell Adam was enjoying this and he turned his body around so he was over the beast and Felix's rear was in the Beast's field of vision. "Go on," said Feilx as he spread his ass cheeks apart, "Lick it. You know you want to."

Adam slowly leaned down and began licking at Felix's rump.

Felix moaned as he felt Adam rim his hole and his inner walls were being rubbed in and out like crazy by that hot tongue.

Adam continued to softly rim and lick at Felix's hole.

Felix moaned and kept bobbing his head up and down on Adam's cock. Deep down, a thought kept rolling back and forth in his head. Could he have developed feelings for this enchanted prince or was it just out of sympathy?

Adam continues to lick and he had a thought as well... was he actually falling for Felix?

Then the human turned around and faced Adam kissing him once more. "And now, I'm gonna try and slide your cock into me," he said softly, "I maybe still tight so be patient and gentle with me please."

Adam pants gently and nods, "Got it..."

Felix slowly lowered himself down onto Adam's cock and he winced as he felt the tip poke at his puckered entrance. Taking a deep breath, he gasped as he felt it finally push inside and he managed to get a quarter of it inside him.

Adam groans at having his hole penetrated and shuddered, gripping the bed with his big paws.

The human panted for a moment and slid himself further down onto Adam's cock. He whimpered as he felt his insides expanding big time. He tried to relax but it was too strenuous for him to calm down.

Adam growls and thrusts into Felix, holding onto him.

Felix whimpered as he hugged Adam with the beast sitting up. "Please... Hold me," stammered the human as he felt small tears in his eyes, "So... Big."

Adam hugged Felix back tightly and continued to thrust but was careful with him.

The human moaned as he felt himself go up and down on Adam's cock when he felt something hit the outside of his hole. "Wait... Do you have a knot?" asked Felix looking up at Adam, "Not that there's anything wrong with it. I'm just curious."

"Y-Yes, I do.'

Felix smiled and kissed Adam deeply. "Then don't be afraid to put it in me," he said as he rode the beast's cock a little faster, "I want you to finish inside me."

Adam soon pushes his knot in and thrusts hard.

Felix moaned as they kept at it until he felt Adam push his knot all the way in and cum deep inside the human.

Adam groaned and thrusts hard into Felix, filling him up.

"I... I feel so full," moaned Felix as he kissed Adam deeply as he felt his belly expand making the magician look pregnant.

Adam kisses Felix back deeply, "You need to relax?"

"Yeah," said Felix softly, "Let's get some sleep."

Adam nods and held Felix close and slept with him.

The next day, Adam's knot had shrunk out of Felix's hole. The human and beast were holding each other close while the enchanted rose started to lose another petal.

Adam held Felix close and gently stroking the humans back

Then a pigeon flew in through the balcony with a note attached to its leg.

Adam groaned, "Cogsworth!" He howled, not wanting to wake up with Felix in his arms.

The clock came in running. "You called?" he asked.

"Could you please get that pigeon...I'm not in the mood now.."

The clock sighed as the pigeon offered its leg and the clock read the message. "It's a call to court.... You father was arrested for sexual assault on a farmer's wife," said Cogsworth.

Adam perked his ears, "Ohh...did he now?"

Felix yawned as he sat up. "Morning," he said yawning, "What's going on?"

"Well...my father was arrested."

"That means the spell worked," said Felix, "We have to be there because the judge who will reside over this case is also a magician."

"Oooh this will be good..." George said as he walks in.

"And don't worry," said Felix as he rested a hand on Adam's shoulder, "I won't let anyone harm you while we're out there. As long as we're together, you're safe."

"Thank you..."

And later when they landed in the kingdom belonging to Adam's father, many people were repulsed and afraid of Adam's appearance. "I hope that thing's not staying here," said one villager. "Good thing that magician is here to keep it under control," said another. "Is it a pet?" asked a third.

Adam snarled while his servants glared.

But Felix rested a hand on Adam's shoulder. "It's gonna be okay," he whispered, "I'm right here."

Adam stayed close to Felix but glared at the villagers.

At last, they arrived at the court house where the king was sitting with his advisor.

Adam glared at his father deeply who glared back.

"Don't worry," whispered Felix as he led Adam to the back and found their judge in an ice box. "We keep our judges in deep freeze to prevent social bias."

Adam stayed while George climbed onto Felix's lap.

And the judge, after defrosting with a hot cup of tea thanks to Mrs. Potts, had called the court to order.

"We are now here on charges of sexual assault."

"And we're here for existential charges as well," added the judge, "You sire, have been accused of being heartless and cruel to others in the lower class and your own servants... Including your enchanted son, Prince Adam."

Adam smirked at that.

"And how do you plead?" asked the judge looking at the king.

"Not guilty your honor."

"Are the people present?" asked the judge as Felix stood along with Adam and the staff. "We're the people," said the young magician, "And we call on our first witness... The royal nurse maid."

"Then let her step up." The judge said.

The nurse maid walked up to the stand and then sat down. After being sworn in, Felix approached her. "I understand that you were assigned to raising Prince Adam since infancy, is that correct?" asked the magician.

"Yes, I was assigned to Prince Adam."

"And how would you describe the prince while raising him?" asked Felix.

"He was easy to handle but...a bit spoiled and he was mostly looked after by the staff."

"And did he ever interact with his father?" asked Felix.

"No. The king would barely acknowledge Adam."

"You may step down," said the judge. "Any more witnesses?" asked the judge. "The people call our next witness," said Felix and turned to the crowd, "The farmer's wife." Everyone gasped knowing she was the one the king was trying to take advantage of.

The king gulped nervously as she stepped up to the stand

The farmer's wife was telling about how she was minding her own business at home when the king broke in and tried to rape her.

Everyone glared at the king

"He even threatened to take away our home if I said anything to my husband," said the wife, "That man doesn't even deserve to be king."

"Is that all?" The judge asks.

"He also tried to kill my husband so he could cover his tracks, but the king ended up getting tied up and here we are," she said. Then she stepped down. "And now the people call our next witness," said Felix and turned to the beast next to him, "Prince Adam himself." Everyone gasped as they realized the beast was truly the prince!

Adam gently stepped up and walked to the stand.

After being sworn in, Felix began. "So, how would you express your relationship between you and your father?" he asked the Beast.

"Non-existent...he'd never even look at me...nor acknowledge me...or even look at me..."

"These are serious charges," said the judge, "Have you any proof of these actions?"

"Yes...my servants can attest to that."

"Proof," said the judge firmly, "Any physical proof?"

Adam flinched and turned to Felix

"I'm afraid we have none," said Felix, "Except his father only proved to be a cruel reflection of what Prince Adam is today and that same cruelty is what made him appear as he is today. And there is a chance that there are many children who will grow up cruel and selfish due to the lack of guidance provided by their parents." "If you had that guidance," said the Judge, "You wouldn't have this curse. You may step down." Once Prince Adam was back with Felix, the judge looked to the young magician. "Counsellor, are there any other witnesses?" he asked Felix. "The people rest," replied Felix as he sat down. Then the judge turned to look at the king. "Would the defendant like to make a closing statement?" he asked.

"No your honor. The defense rests."

"Well, your majesty, I have one question," said the judge, "Do you intend on ruling as king for the rest of your life?"

"Yes."

"Thank you," said the judge, "Well I will return with my decision and a fresh cup of cocoa." Then he left his seat and went into the back room. Felix held Adam's paw. "Don't worry," he whispered, "Your father will get what's coming to him shortly."

Adam held Felix's hand and nods.

Just then, the king walked over glaring at the pair. "Is there something you wanted to say?" asked Felix as he stood between the king and Adam.

"Yes...how could you do this to your own father?" He growled at Adam who snarled. "You...aren't my father and you never were."

"The only one you have to blame is yourself," said Felix getting up into the king's face.

"You stay out of this!" The king barked.

Just then, the judge came back out with a cup of hot chocolate in hand. "I have reached my decision," he said as he sat down, "With respect to existential code violation this court finds you not guilty due to insufficient evidence." The king gave a nasty smirk. "With respect to the sexual assault charge the court finds you guilty as charged," added the judge.

"What?!"

"But, we'll waive the usual imprisonment," said the judge, "And instead sentence you to a life time of poverty and give your throne to the farmer whom you assaulted. Case closed."

"Noooooo!" The king groaned as he fell to his knees.

"This trial shall be stricken from all mortal memory," said the judge, "Court is adjourned."

"How is this fair?" Adam asked Felix.

"Because it's the worse thing your father can imagine," said Felix, "And whether he means to or not, he teaches a valuable lesson. Meaning if you do good and don't let anyone bully you, you'll get to be human again. And then you can rejoice. But he's gonna be stuck with his punishment forever."

"Well, at least there's a good side."

"And now, I think we should congratulate the new king and queen," said Felix looking to the farmer and his wife who walked over to them. But instead of looks of disgust like everyone else, Adam could see a gentle compassion and sorrow in their eyes. "We hope you manage to break your curse," said the farmer, "For what it's worth, I think it would be a privilege to accept you as our son. Me and my wife have tried for years but with you, perhaps you could accept us?"

"Yes, of course." Adam said.

The farmer's wife hugged Adam stroking his head. "You poor dear," she said softly, "You must have gone through a lot over the time you were cursed."

"Yes...I have..."

"But you have a fine young man with you to be by your side," said the farmer and smiled to Felix, "Thank you so much for everything." The magician blushed bashfully.

George chuckled, "Well ain't that cute?"

Felix blushed again and looked at Adam. "Let's go home," he said as he held the prince's big paw.

Adam soon held Felix's hand and walked back to the castle.

Once they were there, Felix turned to Adam. "Well... This has been quite a day," said the magician blushing. Deep in his heart, he wanted to tell Adam how he really felt but he was afraid the beast would reject him even after what they both went through.

“Yes... yes it was.."

"Uh... Listen, Adam... There's... There's something I wanted to say," said Felix unaware that the rose was down to its last two petals and one fell down leaving only one left!

“Felix... I-I can't take it anymore...there's something I need to tell you as well."

Before either of them could say anything, something terrible happened. Out of the shadows, Caleb appeared and stabbed Adam in the back with a dagger. "Caleb!" gasped Felix, "What are you doing? How did you get here?"

"If I can't have you...no one will!"

"NO!" yelled Felix as he zapped Caleb. The hunter began to shrink and the magician placed him inside a jar. "I'll take care of you later," he said as he placed the trapped hunter on a table before running back to Adam's side, "No, please don't die."

"Y-You've done all I can for me...Felix.." Adam panted.

"Please," said Felix as he hugged the beast with tears rolling down the human's face, "The truth is... I love you."

And then… Something shocking happened.

No sooner had he said those words then the last petal fell and Adam's body began to glow.

And soon things began to change.

The light grew brighter and Felix had to cover his eyes and when it died down, he no longer saw a beast. There laying on the ground was a handsome man whom Felix knew had to be Prince Adam's original form. "Adam?" he asked cautiously.

Adam softly gasped as he sat up and looked at his body, "I-I'm human..."

Felix smiled and then hugged Adam tightly before kissing him deeply.

Adam purred and kissed Felix back.

Before long, the castle was restored to its former beauty and all the staff were once more human. "I guess that means you love me too?" asked Felix blushing.

"Yes...yes I do.."

Felix smiled and kissed Adam when he heard a soft banging and he looked over to the side. "Oh yeah," he said as he picked up the jar Caleb was in, "I almost forgot."

"What are we gonna do with him?"

"Well, I have an idea," said Felix, "George! I have something for you."

George came out, "Please let it be catnip!"

"Even better," said Felix as he set the jar on the ground and let the cat get a good look at Caleb.

"Ooooh! A snack~" George smirked.

"No... Think of him as a new toy," said Felix, "After all, Caleb's hunted animals all his life. Now we'll see how he likes it."

George smirked and swishes his tail

"But we're gonna keep him in his jar for now until he's learned his lesson," said Felix as he casted another spell on the jar, "Now the glass won't break on anything." He dropped the jar on the ground but it didn't shatter.

George pawed at it playfully

Caleb screamed angrily as Felix and Adam laughed at how silly he looked as George's new toy.

George smirked and kept on pawing, "Now this is way better than catnip."

Felix smiled and then looked to Adam. "So... Now that you're restored, will you still take me as I am? A wizard's apprentice who loves you?" he asked.

"I will...I definitely will." Adam smiled.

Felix smiled kissing Adam lovingly as the rest of the staff came up cheering for the two lovers.

Adam held Felix and kissed him back.

A few days later, they were both in splendid clothes and dancing together in the ballroom. Lumière let out a long sigh until one of the maids came up to flirt.

Lumière smirked and chases off.

"Well, Lumière," said Cogsworth coming up to the man, "Shall we let bygones be bygones?"

"Of course old friend, after all I told you that Felix would break the spell!" Lumière said proudly.

"I beg your pardon, old friend," chuckled Cogsworth, "But I believe I told you." Just then, George passed by with his Caleb-in-a-jar making Cogsworth jump and land on top of Lumière.

George smirked, "Now I'm glad I have this as a toy."

The cat stopped playing as he walked up to Master Henry, who was with Mrs. Potts and Chip as Felix and Adam danced with each other. “Are they gonna live happily ever after, Mama?" asked Chip.

"They sure are dear."

Chip then thought and asked, "Do I still have to sleep in the cupboard?"

George and Henry just laughed as Felix and Adam waltzed around.

When the music was coming to a close, Felix looked up at his prince kissing him lovingly.

Adam smiled and then kisses him back.

Master Henry smiled knowing this was where his apprentice belonged: in the arms of one who truly loved him.

The End.
