[Early in the morning Belle can be found going around the village and posting flyers where ever she sees an available spot. She'll post a majority of them up in heavily populated areas such as around the fountain and in the plaza area. But by the time she's done they can be seen in just about every part of the village. The flyer is white with large, black lettering advertising the first meeting of a Book Club. If you can catch up to her, Belle would be happy to answer any questions about it.]

[Later in the afternoon Belle flips open her journal in quite a rush. She's just learned some very important news.]

[Filtered away from Beast]

Good afternoon Luceti. I have some exciting news. My dear friend Beast has a birthday coming up this Thursday and I would feel awful if it went by without some kind of celebration. I would very much like to throw him a surprise party and I want to extend an invitation to everyone.

Now, I realize this is short notice, but I have only recently found out myself. And because of that I don't believe I will be able to give him a proper party on my own. If it's not too much trouble I would like to ask for some volunteers to help me decorate and prepare before the party.

Food is another concern of mine. While I can make certain dishes, I'm not quite sure what or how much to make. If anyone would like to leave some suggestions, or better yet, bring some of their own dishes, I would very much appreciate it.

And I just have one more question. Does anyone know how I should go about baking a birthday cake?

Beast is having a birthday? I didn't even know he had them!

[He likes Belle. And hey, books. Loki's willing to help a bit.]

If you want fireworks, feel free to ask. I'm quite good at those.

Oh birthday cakes! I'm quite good with those. Though I've always wanted to try and make them actually singing happy birthday [ but that is a thought and crazy idea for another day. Helios smiles on his end. ]

That's nice of you to bake him one. I, ah, usually bake the layers first, then cover it with butter cream icing or-or whatever icing you prefer.

"A birthday party for Beast? I could scarcely miss it. If there's any way I might be of assistance, please, let me know."

[Spock was walking to the Dome when he saw Belle... ah yes, he was finally able to put the voice with the person.

This was indeed Beast's dancing partner.]

Greetings Miss Belle.

You're right. His birthday should be special, even if it's here this time. I'd like to help, if that's alright.

[Baking ability: low to moderate. Planning and work ability: infinite. Ami makes the offer mostly out of precisely that belief that things shouldn't be forgotten because of the way Luceti and the Malnosso push them all.]

I can help with any of those things, Belle! Just tell me where you need me, and I'll be happy to help.

Wow, talk about a coincidence; my birthday's the exact same day.

[He chuckles.]

But I don't mind dropping by. Not sure what kind of gift he'd want, but I'm sure he'd appreciate the company.

[A party for Beast's birthday? Now this is something that even the shy, nervous scientist feels motivated to be involved in.]

...

... I can... a-assist you with any food preparations that you... m-might require...

I, er, do not b-believe we have spoken before, but... I know Beast quite well... and you, by extension...

[Well, there's also the fact he watched the movie with Belle in it, but... he's not going to mention that, nope.]

... I am Professor R-Robert Alexander Hastings...

So, it'll be Beast's birthday soon, huh...

[Normally Rudy isn't one for big surprise parties, but... well. He does know Beast, and it just wouldn't do if he didn't at least wish him a happy birthday.]

Well, um... I can't say I know too much about baking, but d'you still need any extra help?

I could cook things if you need help with that... what kind of food did you want to have for the party besides a cake?
