The Stolen Mirror

Summary: While Belle and the Prince are out for dinner, a mischievous village thief sneaks into the castle and steals the magic mirror from the West Wing.

One night at the Prince's castle, Belle and the Prince, who was now human, were getting ready to go out for dinner. The Prince's servants, who were also human, helped them get ready. When it was time, Belle and the Prince started heading out the door. "Could you guys watch over the castle?" The Prince asked his servants. "Will do, master." Replied Cogsworth. "We'll be back later." Said Belle as she and her Prince waved goodbye to the servants and headed out.

Just then, a village thief named Nathan was hiding behind the castle doors, checking if the coast was clear. And when Belle and the Prince were gone, Nathan mischievously snuck into the castle.

Meanwhile, the Prince's servants were having a conversation. Nathan had already entered the castle. When the servants weren't looking, Nathan snuck into the West Wing and snatched the magic mirror from the table that the rose was put on. Then he slowly started sneaking out of the castle with the mirror.

Then the servants were finished with their conversation. "Why don't we go check on the West Wing?" Asked Mrs. Potts. The servants agreed as they started heading to the West Wing. When they got there, they gasped. "Where's the mirror?" Asked Cogsworth. "That's strange. It's only been five minutes since the master left." Said Mrs. Potts. "Perhaps it got vanished." Said Lumiere. "What happened?" Asked Chip. Then the servants heard a mischievous laugh. "Looking for this?" Nathan asked, still walking in the hallway with the mirror. The servants gasped again. "It's a village thief!" Cried Cogsworth. "Hey! Put that back!" Shouted Lumiere. "Think you can stop me, huh? So beat it!" Said Nathan. "But that's the master's mirror!" Shouted Cogsworth. "Not anymore. So long, losers!" Said Nathan as he ran out of the castle.

The servants stood in shock. "Oh no, the castle's been robbed!" Said Mrs. Potts. "If the master finds out about this, he'll be furious!" Said Cogsworth. "What do we do?" Asked Plumette. "We have to get that mirror back before the master returns!" Said Cogsworth. So the servants started to head out the door. "Wait, who's gonna watch over the castle?" Asked Chip. "He's got a point." Said Cogsworth. "You're right, Chip. Hmm... Could you two give us a second?" Mrs. Potts asked Chip and Plumette. Chip and Plumette nodded in agreement. So Lumiere, Cogsworth, and Mrs. Potts got into a huddle and started whispering. Chip tried to listen while Plumette just waited patiently. Then the trio did a triple high five and turned back to Chip and Plumette. "Okay, here's what we'll do, Lumiere and Cogsworth and I will go get the mirror, Chip and Plumette, you two stay and watch over the castle in case someone else tries to break in." Said Mrs. Potts. "Got it!" Said Chip. So Lumiere, Cogsworth, and Mrs. Potts headed out the door, leaving Chip and Plumette to watch over the castle.

Meanwhile, Nathan was running through the village, which was crowded. "You're mine, all mine!" He said, looking through the mirror. "Not for long, you rotten burglar!" Shouted Cogsworth as he and the other two servants ran after Nathan. Nathan ran further away. He's getting away!" Shouted Lumiere. So the three servants ran even further. But the crowd was slowing them down. "Excuse us, coming through!" Said Mrs. Potts as she, Lumiere, and Cogsworth tried to get through the crowd. Then Nathan grabbed a bucket of water and splashed water in front of the three servants' path, causing them to slip and fall. "Careful, guys, that's an extremely wet floor!" Nathan called out to the trio. Then he ran even further away.

Getting back on their feet, Lumiere, Cogsworth, and Mrs. Potts panted. "What do we do now?" Asked Lumiere. Then Cogsworth saw a tree branch on the ground. "I have an idea!" He said. With that, he grabbed the tree branch and placed it in front of Nathan's path for him to trip over it. So it was done, Nathan tripped over the tree branch and fell to the ground, dropping the mirror. "Quick! Grab the mirror!" Said Mrs. Potts. So Cogsworth grabbed the mirror. With that, the trio started running back to the castle.

Nathan was still conscious, so he got back up and noticed he didn't have the mirror in his hand. So he started running back to the castle.

Meanwhile, Lumiere, Cogsworth, and Mrs. Potts were almost to the castle. But then they looked back and saw Nathan running after them. "Quick! Inside!" Shouted Mrs. Potts. So the trio entered the castle and locked the doors. Before Nathan could get in, he bumped into the door and finally gave up. So he ran back to the village and was never seen again.

Inside the castle, the three servants were exhausted. "I think we had enough watching over for today." Said Cogsworth. Just then, Belle and the Prince returned to the castle. "We're back." Said Belle. "How did it go while we were gone?" Asked the Prince. Lumiere, Cogsworth, and Mrs. Potts said nothing and then they fell to the floor, fainted. Belle just giggled.
