Hey again, Hope everyone is well. I hope you like this next chapter. I will try to fit as much as I can. Hopefully, you will all like this chapter, as I tried to make up a little bit that wasn't in the movie. Ok, before everyone starts to attack me, I need to tell you a change in casting. I had said in the casting chapter that Celestia would be Twilight's father when I am changing it to Twilight's father. I know it sounds confusing, but I wanted to let everyone know this before I begin the chapter.

Vhdc: I am doing it off of the Disney movie, as that is what I am familiar with. I haven't seen the play at all. BTW, thanks for the vote of Luna being the Enchantress.

Disclamier: I don't own the rights to My Little Pony, or Beauty and the Beast. My Little Pony is owned by Hasbro. Beauty and the Beast is owned by Disney.

Chapter 3: The Belly of the Beast

"Dad, Dad" shouted Twilight racing inside to see the fate of her father.

She opened up the wooden doors of the basement as smoked rose from the only exit it could find. Unfortunately, this made Twilight coughed a little bit as she waits until there is less to see to her father.

"Dad, where are you" Twilight said searching in the basement

"I am right here Twilight, no need to shout" her father spoke rising from the scrap metal that surrounded him.

"Papa, are you okay" Twilight said worrying about his wellbeing.

"Yes, yes, it was just another failure again" He coughed looking at her blowing away whatever smoke surrounded the area around them.

"I know you can do your best to impress those snobs at that invention convention" Twilight gave him a supportive smile

"You really mean it" Mr. Sparkle said

"I know so" Twilight smiled back.

"Well, I should get back to work then" Mr. Sparkle chuckled along as Twilight walked upstairs smiling at her father's happiness.

As Twilight reached the top of the steps she looked upon a picture, she has not seen in ages. The photo was taken a couple of years ago, when she was just a foal. She looked at the picture of her mother and father at a happy time in their lives.

A drop from Twilight's eye hit where her mother was and Twilight sighed as she rubbed her face a little bit. She put the picture back among the others that were there. She glided herself upstairs to take a nap for a little bit.

Twilight hummed along as she was making dinner for her father as usual. She was making a stew that would brighten up his health.

Suddenly, she heard a scream from downstairs. Worrying for his safety, Twilight raced downstairs in order to see the current condition of her father; fearing the worst of possibly anything.

Instead of finding her father on the floor, Mr. Sparkle was jumping for joy as if he was a child around Christmas time.

"Yes, yes it's works it actually works" He said lifting up his daughter with his hooves for a few seconds before putting her down

"Are you serious?" Twilight smiled with her father as she showed her his invention of a machine that could cut up wood.

"Yes, it finally works" He smiled as he looked upon his daughter and hugged her some more.

Twilight gave him a smile as she was glad, he was happy.

"Well honey, I have everything I need for the convention" Mr. Sparkle smiled as he looked at his daughter

"Are you sure, dad?" His daughter questioned him

"Yes, yes. Food, a map, and umm" He said to himself

"Your invention" His daughter told him

"Ah yes, that's it" He chuckled as his age was getting to him "Well, I must be on my way"

Mr. Sparkle picked up his wheelbarrow to carry his invention with him. He began to march off into the forest in order to march on his way to the convention.

Twilight waved goodbye to her father, yet felt something was very wrong as well. However, she had ways of occupying her time while he was gone.

Hours had pasted Mr. Sparkle's journey to the convention and he was already lost. Looking in the forest to find his way, Mr. Sparkle could tell that his sense of direction was terrible. He wasn't sure if he had been walking in circles.

He sighed wondering if he should turn back home. His stomach was growling like a bear, his hooves were shaking from the journey and it felt like it was a winter wonderland in the forest.

He began to race down the past on the right as suddenly heard what he made out to be howling.

Suddenly, the wolves appeared right out of nowhere as they were growling at him with such wicked intentions. Mr. Sparkle was shivering at first but decided to race down the path, hoping to lose his predators that were seeking to have him as lunch.

The wolves began to give chase as Mr. Sparkle was running for his life. He was after that his legs would give way and the wolves would have the taste of an elder stallion. He wasn't as young as he uses to be, he thought as he didn't realize that he was losing grip of his invention. He was losing hope until he saw a light at the end of the forest.

What almost stopped him in his tracks was the large castle that was in front of him. The castle almost looked abandon as he looks at the wolves that were closing up to him. He smiled seeing the gate was slightly opened.

Without any other choice, he opened his mouth to let go of his invention, and with a boost of speed, Mr. Sparkle slipped in the gate.

"Hello, is anyone here" Mr. Sparkle asked as he entered in the castle.

He heard no reply as it seemed torn with claw markings and the stones didn't look so well.

"Umm, I need to seek shelter from the bitter cold and I have lost my way in the forest. I was hoping that if anyone could hear me, you can let me stay here. At least for a night or two" Mr. Sparkle tried to look around for anyone that could hear him.

He had walked past a table that held a blue candle and a white clock. Both the clock and the candle opened their eyes to look upon the stranger.

"Why, look at him, he looks so cold" the blue candle spoke out

"Rainbow Dash, don't you dare tell him" The white clock glared at the candle

"Don't be so uptight Rarity, just look at him" Rainbow dash smirked as she smiled as she said aloud "Of course, you are welcome here sure, you are our guest"

Rarity tried to cover Rainbow's mouth, only for her to retaliate by putting one of her hands on Rarity's, thus causing her to yelp in pain.

Mr. Sparkle looked around as he grabbed the candle from the table, only to realize that it was staring back at him "Hello"

He dropped the candle down as it wasn't quite normal to see candles talking to him, nor enchanted ones at that. From his left, he saw the white clock drop down to walk towards the candle.

"See, now look what you did, he has to leave this place. The master would not like it at all" Rarity glared at Rainbow Dash.

"Relax, jack in the box" She looked at Mr. Sparkle escorting him to a small room, to relax himself in. Rarity chased after them in hopes that the master doesn't find the stallion in the castle. Unknown to them, a pair of green glaring eyes were gazing at them and with a snap, they vanished.

"Come, sit down and relax yourself" Rainbow Dash smiled allowing Mr. Sparkle to sit down on the chair near the recently lit fireplace.

"No no, not on the master's chair" Rarity feared for the worst.

"How do you like some tea" Rainbow Dash said whistling in a tea cart before Mr. Sparkle could give a reply

Mr. Sparkle looked to his right when he saw a cart that had a small cup with a large teapot. The teapot smiled as she poured the contends inside herself and smiled.

"Why, hello there, I recken you must be tired and cold from your journey. Here, have a spot of tea" the orange teapot smiled allowing the yellow cup to appear in front of him. Along the way, a pink foot rest jumped around and lifted up his feet to relax.

"Umm, hello there" the yellow cup shyly said

"O why hello" Mr. Sparkle smiled as he drank from it and smiles.

The happiness would not last though, as a clash of thunder could be heard as the doors were forcely open seeing the glare of green eye extinguished all flames that were present in the room, except for Rainbow Dash.

"Uh oh" The yellow cup hid from sight behind the orange teapot.

"There is a stranger in this castle" The Dragon glared looking around.

"Pardon me, master. But, the stranger was cold and hungry and we couldn't leave him out there alone" Rainbow Dash said before Spike roared her flames out.

"I tried to tell them, but they wouldn't listen to me, o pleases be reasonable" Rarity spoke out before Spike roared in her face as well.

Mr. Sparkle looked around hoping the dragon would not find him. His fears were short lived as he looked on the other side to find him glaring at him.

"What are you doing here" Spike glared

"I was lost and it was cold" Mr. Sparkle fell out of the chair trying to run for it, but Spike was much faster.

"What are you looking at" Spike growled moving in front of him

"no, nothing" Mr. Sparkle's pulse was going up fearing Spike's appearance

"So, you have come to make fun and stare at me, have you" Spike continues to frighten Mr. Sparkle.

"No, no I just needed a place to stay" Mr. Sparkle said

"O, I will give you a place to stay" Spike spoke out grabbing Mr. Sparkle before exiting the room as Apple Jack, Rainbow Dash, and Rarity was in fear of what their master may do to the stranger/prisoner.

Well, boys and girls. So, ends chapter 3. I hope you all have liked it. I wanted this chapter to end when the Beast takes him away. I am sure glad I made Spike the Beast in this story. Sorry, if the title isn't too creative enough for everyone, but beggars can't be choosers.

Any who, review, comment, Questions, or concerns? Tell me what you think of it and I hope to do better in the next chapter. So, I will see you all later.
