I would say that from the Time that Belle left Rumple's castle to the Time that she defeated the Yaoguay, she has very little opportunity to interact with anyone. Other than Grumpy, Mulan, and Philip.

If she is going to interact with anyone, it would probably be similar to her meeting with Emma and Hook (or Robin), as she's working around the Castle and people come to see Rumple. Again, probably NOT the Charmings given the time frame, but there are others that could pop up.
