My very own interveiw with Belle

Well what can I say? Most everyone has heard our story thanks to Disney. I tamed the heart of a beast and finally found the place I belonged in this world. What would you like to know?
How did I usually spend my days at home? I read as many books as I could get my hands on and did most of the chores around my house. Each day dreaming to find my niche in our small town or find that one that I belonged with. Papa was always working on some kind of new invention and always making me laugh. He was my joy.

Oh dear! Gaston. What can I say?

Showing up on my door step and telling me that " My dreams had come true." because I was going to marry him? Uck! He didn't hardly even ask if me I wanted to. I wasn't quite sure what I wanted from life right then but I knew that it defiantly wasn't him! I had hoped throwing him in the mud would deter anymore attempts for my hand. Apparently I was wrong.

My first impression of my husband? I resented him with a fire. He was cruel and had a temper that would light the forest on fire. As I look back on this now I realize that behind all that anger and yelling was just a frustrated angry man who was spoiled by getting very thing he wanted when he wanted it, and if it wasn't perfect he thought could get it that way by bellowing at his servants. Eventually he could never be pleased. And having me defy him just made him more angry because no matter how much he threatened and bellowed he knew he would not get what he wanted. He was like a spoiled child that just needed to be shown that no matter who you are you never get everything you want when you want it. Ex specially when you loose your temper and courtesy.

I think I only began to have some kind of feeling for him After he saved me from the wolves. I thought that was the end. And then to see him completely unleashed, roaring like a wolf himself was frightening, yet awe inspiring. From then on I respected him, more than I had anyhow. He had saved my life and I felt grateful to him. I knew he had to have a heart, to come after me and fight for my life with his own like he had.
My favorite memories? I would have to say, were the days we spent in the snow. He came out of the castle and trudged though the snow to me smiling. He scared the birds I had been feeding away and felt so bad for this. I remember him sighing an aged sigh and saying " I'm sorry, I'll just go back inside. " I remember reaching to take his arm, his fur was so soft and warm. " it's OK" I said, " stay."

To see the smile on his face when I helped him feed the animals that had feared him for so long melted my heart.

I couldn't help smiling to see the bewildered look on his face as the birds mobbed him.

I thought I might have been pushing my luck when I threw the snowball at him, but he went with it. He had not laughed in such a long time and running and chasing in the snow caused several fits in us both.

He was so nervous dancing with me,

I can only imagine what magic must have gone on behind those doors to clean him up so well. Ha ha. I think I loved him then, but I didn't know it. He was risking so much letting me go home that night. He gave up all hope of ever being human again. And I still cannot believe the lengths that Gaston went to in his jealousy.

It was like the wolves all over again , the sweet gentle beast I had grown to love disappeared as Gaston stood between him and me. I was scared that he might actually kill Gaston, but to my relief and pride he showed the mercy I knew was in him.

I remember tangling my fingers into his fur as I faced loosing him forever. My eyes clouded with tears as I looked into his blue eyes for what I didn't want to think would be the last time. His paw, so much bigger than my hand, touched my cheek for what he thought would be the last time.

the change frightened me, I didn't understand what was happening.

But I knew it was him by his eyes.

His eyes were the eyes of the beast I loved.

the joy that radiated from him was contagious.

I loved him so much, and I knew it.

and ,as you already know, we lived happily ever after

I still love him so much and there is joy in the castle again.

The Enchantress cam to our wedding, with gifts: She said she would be Fairy Godmother to my children and She gave Adam the blessing of a prosperous kingdom. we thanked her for the gifts and the lesson she had given my husband.

Adam and I now rule our kingdom in peace, Papa loves being a grandfather, and the staff are incredibly glad to be human again. I have found my place at last next to the only one in the kingdom just as " odd" as me. My handsome , strong, merciful Beast.
