Magic in the details

You may think this tale as old as time has been told before. You may know about the beauty and the beast, and the curse they broke together. But some stories have more than one ending. Some stories have more than one villain.

Such is the story of Gaston. Growing up, young Gaston lived in the shadow of his friend, the prince. He agreed with the prince’s ideas, went along with the prince’s schemes and hid his own talents so that his best friend could shine. But the prince paid a price for his wicked ways. As the prince grew more beastly and the world began to forget him, Gaston was no longer forced to pretend. He was determined, never again, to be second-best to anyone. No one says no to Gaston.

The mysterious Odd Sisters know an opportunity to meddle when they see it. And once they do, it just might lead to the downfall of ”everyone’s favorite guy.”
