'A hard beginning maketh a good ending' -John Heywood

Chapter 1-

"Be a good boy while I'm gone okay?"

The bright yellow and blue fish swam in tight circles at the sound of his masters voice. The redhead giggled at his reaction and tapped the fish food container, watching as the bright flecks sank around her pet. "Eat up Flounder!" Ariel smiled as she set the fish food back in place. "I'll be back... Hopefully." Spinning on her heel she snatched her seafoam green book bag and reached for the door. It fell open before she could touch it, an annoyed Asian left standing cross armed in the doorway.

"I thought Flouder had swallowed you." The boy with the mohawk scanned over Ariel's outfit before rolling his eyes. "That's what took so long?" He teased at the sight of the purple heart shaped neckline tunic and the pale green skinnys. Her crimson waves thrown to one side, bobby's keeping the purposeful mess in place. The boy glanced over Ariel's shoulder to the packed moving boxes lining the wall, he groaned in exasperation. "Did you even attempt to unpack at all last night?" Ariel glanced over her shoulder as well before shrugging and giving the boy a sheepish smile.

"Sorry Mulan?" The redhead grinned playfully up at her best friend.

"Whatever." Mulan snorted before heading for the front door of the quaint beach house the two shared. Ariel had fought hard for the little baby blue cottage, her father had been determined to get a large new beach house for her. In the end Ariel won, both girls moved in within the next week. Both prepared to begin their new lives in one of the largest collages in California. Of course Ariel chose it because of its close proximity to the beach. Mulan, of course being the one with her feet planted in the ground chose it for the broad choice of classes. Ariel skipped after the taller girl, a smile glued to her face.

"Are you sure about those clothes?" Ariel questioned, as she spun to the front of Mulan. The boy clothed girl sent a glare down to her best friend before reaching past her for the car keys.

"What are you talking about?" Mulan snapped as she opened the door.

"Come on Mulan!" Ariel cried, stopping to stomp her foot in a childish manner. The redhead then gestured to the baggy wash worn skinnys with the black fruit loom boxers peeking out the back. As well as the black and blue plaid button up with its sleeves rolled up. "This is a new chance at life, your sticking to acting like a scrawny skate broader dude?" Mulan flinched before her eyes iced over, all her emotions freezing beneath.

"Ariel, out of every person in the world you know why I'm like this." The cross dresser growled, instantly Ariel's demeanor shifted and the energetic girl grabbed her best friends trembling hand.

"I know why Mulan..." Ariel sighed and squeezed her hand in a comforting gesture. "But I won't be around forever to save you when people find tampons in your bag or act like your girlfriend when they start asking questions."

"I know." Mulan whispered. "Just give me the collage years." Mulan turned to face her shorter friend and griped Ariels tattooed shoulder. "Let me live a little longer in the safety of these clothes."

Ariel chewed her lip in her thinking habit. Her eyebrows drawn together in worry.

"Alright." The redhead sighed and with a smile her features relaxed again.

Mulan smiled back and stepped outside in to the salty sea mist of a common beach morning, Ariel on her heels. They both headed for Ariel's old aquamarine beetle with Ariel's faveroite surfboard tied to the roof. The Japanese styled waves on the board matched the waves tattooed on Ariel's arm the backdrop to her ocean themed sleeve. It began at her wrist with an octopus gripping her tightly, then a sinking ship on fire, an anchor woven in fraying rope, what Mulan believed to be a Mermaids tail, and finally a fierce fish with jagged teeth and the coloration of Flounder, the fishes tail splash fanning out evenly over Ariel's collarbone.

"Don't hurt her!" Ariel teased as she slid over the hood of her buggy.

"People don't have to dodge for cover when I drive, I think that should tell you something." Mulan smirked before ducking into the car.

"That guy should have looked both ways!" Defended and fell into the passenger seat, her face swelling in a pout. Which of course Mulan laughed at when she glanced over.

The bug rumbled to life and Mulan smoothly pulled out before setting off for Notre Dame University.

The screech of the alarm echoed in the small room with two twin beds pushed against each barren wall. In the one closet to the bathroom woke a girl with sun kissed skin and raven hair. Two pools of inky black opened slowly, her lips parted as she groaned.

She let the alarm continue as she slowly rose from the warm embrace of the bed. Once on her slim bare feet she arched her back and reached with her hands to the roof. As she relaxed her hand fell to the clock on her bed, silencing it with a tap.

Pocahontas glanced over to the empty bed and tried to remember who had told her she had a dorm mate. An image of some teacher surfaced, so that means their just late. Shrugging she continued into the bathroom and started the shower.

A few minutes later the hiss of the water stopped and Pocahontas came out dressed and ready. Her pin straight hair was pulled in a high ponytail to show off the golden chandlers hanging from her ears. She wore a long jean shirt that barley reached past her butt, a thin leather belt tied tight at her waist. Underneath she wore black leggings on her long shapely legs. Golden heels clicked on the wooden floor as she headed for the door.

Snatching the black book bag from the floor, she opened the door and heard the sounds of other students. Shutting and locking the door behind her, she continued on her way to the parking lot to meet up with her two closets friends.

"Ah!" A feminine shriek sounded from the apartment room 4B on the second floor. A small curvy woman lay sprawled out over the floor, her short black hair splayed widely over her pale face. She stumbled back onto her feet, this time she placed her hand on a nearby desk before fixing her left floral tom.

Once finished she straightened and fixed her white lacy skirt. She then smoothed her black halter tied at the top in a cute bow, a white sparrow soaring across her chest.

"Snow?" Came a soft caring voice. "Are you alright?" Snow White snapped to attention and hurried over to her door and opened it wide.

"Sorry Doc, I woke up late." Snow said to a man a little over half her size. He wore a red vest over a white button up, round frame glasses sitting on his cute red cheeks. Doc smiled up at her and reached up to grasp her pale hand in his.

"I don't now how I'm going to take care of this hotel without you around to help." She could hear the tears building in his voice. Dropping to her knees she looped her arms around his short thick neck.

"Oh Doc!" Snow sighed, tears stinging in her own eyes. "Just put grumpy to work." Doc burst into laughter but didn't release her, after a moment the sad silence came back. "I'll always come back." Snow whispered and pulled away to wipe away his tears. Standing she stepped back into her room and returned with her bag and a cardboard box in hand.

"I thought you got all the things you needed packed in the car already?" Doc questioned as he followed her down the stairs.

"These are my necessities that I needed last night and this morning." Snow cast over her shoulder as they reached the last few steps.

"SURPRISE!" The shout almost made Snow lose her balance, that and Doc slipping past her as he snatched her box from her. Crowded around the two giant doors to the building were seven dwarves and a few residence's of the building. A banner hung above the doors with 'Off to Collage!' Painted on. All her adopted uncles smiled ear to ear other than of course her dear Uncle Grumpy. Uncle Dopey stood in the middle with a handful of flowers from the garden out back. The shock melted from her face and she returned their smiles.

"Well don't just stand there!" The elderly woman, Snows self-adopted grandmother, said standing next to Doc. Walking over Snow scooped Dopey into her arms and laughed when he began to weave the flowers into her hair.

"Don't hog her Dopey." Uncle Grumpy growled from his position her side. Giggling she set Dopey down and kissed every dwarf in turn, finally she came to Grumpy.

"I think I'll miss your encouragement the most." She teased, earning her his infamous scowl. She then planted a kiss on his balding forehead.

"I must go now or I'll be late!" Snow White laughed as she opened the doors.

"Go on then, we'll hold up the fort!" She heard Doc call, she refused to look back know seeing them would only bring her to tears.

'Snap.' The lead bounced once before flying over the edge of the hardwood table. The brunette clicked her tongue in annoyance, before opening the one shoulder leather bag resting on the table. When her hand found the small black pencil sharpener she pulled it from the bag and set to sharing the utensil.

Once finished she placed it on her notes and removed her narrow reading glasses. With a sigh she rubbed her eyes to be rid of the irritation. Blinking she glanced around for the clock and gasped at the time. She scrabbled to pack her bag and scooped the books on the table into her arms. In a hurry she threw the books down onto the librarians desk.

"Could I check these out please?" The girl asked as she handed over her student card. The librarian made a annoyed noise as she took the student card.

"Belly?" The librarian questioned with a raised eyebrow at the sight of her name.

"It's pronounced Bell." Belle snapped growing annoyed with the sour mood of this librarian. The elderly woman snorted before checking out the books Belle had asked for. With a pointed glare Belle swept up her books and hurried off to her dorm, already thinking of her first day at collage.

"Jasmine!" Said girl spun around to face her father, a smile on her face. "Don't smile your going to be late!" The short man hurried the dark skinned girl along.

"I had to say goodbye to Rajah!" She protested but couldn't help the smile that returned when she heard the click of claws on tile. Her father cried out as the giant tiger tackled them both to the floor. The tiger then began to lick them in a motherly fashion.

"Enough Rajah." Jasmine laughed and helped her father to his feet once the tiger had rolled over. Her father snatched his hat from the floor in a pouty huff, giving Jasmine a pointed look as he did so.

"Hurry now, the packers have moved everything into the dorm and now it's just waiting on you!" Jasmine giggled as he hurried her down the stairs.

"Most parents cry when their kids go of to collage." Jasmine teased.

"I shed all those last night." Her father snorted as the reached the limo, but suddenly she was pulled back and her father pulled her into a tight hug.

"I will miss you." He whispered and Jasmine held him tight.

"I know, I'll miss you too." She sighed, and released him. After a moment he released her too and she stepped into the limo, waving as she departed.

"Goodbye father." She whispered as he disappeared from her sight.

Aurora scowled at the last mover as he disappeared through the dorm door. Who in the hell was her roommate?' She glanced back over to the massive bed with thin curtains that had tigers prowling through the forest woven into it.

Past that was a short rectangular glass table on tiger legs. Their were four chairs with no backs and fluffy blue cushions.

Aurora snorted and closed the door loudly after the movers. She retreated back to her dorm bed with a bag that held almost all her belongings. Only thing that she had with her that couldn't be held in her bag was her computer which was in its own bag up against the wall.

Sighing she fell onto her bed and lay there for a few moments. She was dressed and ready for the day, the deans welcoming speech would be soon and then classes.

Her thoughts drifted to her mother and how she was coping with Flora, Fauna and Merryweather on her hands. Again she sighed and stood this time she strode over to the mirror.

Pale golden waves cascaded over her shoulders and past her breasts. She wore a dress, the top was lacy and a halter, the bottom was a neon pink. She wore a pink head band with a black rosé to top it off. Scowling at herself she fixed her hair from where she flopped onto the bed. Finished she spun around and headed out the door, refusing to even glance over at the expensive sparkling side of her dorm.

The floor sparkled in the light coming through the high windows. Freshly dusted curtains swayed as the grey headed woman passed slowly by. Her narrowed eyes inspecting every corner and decoration of the giant hallway.

"Please stepmother I'll be late." A blond girl said from behind the older woman, her crystal blue eyes glued to the floor.

"Interrupt my inspection once more and you will be." The woman said in a hateful, menacing way. After a few more moments the older woman spun on her heel to face the blond girl.

"I promised your father to get you into Notre Dame but if I hear of any kind of trouble," The woman leaned forward until the blond could smell her venom. "You'll be back here scrubbing floors so fast it will make you head spin." The woman hissed before leaning back and departing. Before she disappeared through a door she looked back to the girl, she didn't move an inch, a wicked grin craved itself on to the grey haired woman's lips. "Your dismissed Cinderella." The woman slammed the door after she spoke and Cinderella was gone, racing to her room packing her bag and then back down she went and out the door to the nearest bus stop. The nearest bound for Notre Dame.

"What the fuck Alice, did you fall down the rabbit hole?" A tall skinny man in a black-dark purple T-shirt groaned as he leaned up against his modified Subaru WRX, painted dark purple with pink racing stripes.

"I said I'm coming!" A girl shouted from inside a sleek modern one story house. The girl that came squealing out wore a blue dress with black spider web leggings, she also wore spider web gloves that reached up to her elbow. Her blond hair was pulled into low pigtails and she wore a black headband with neon blue web lace over it. Bright red lipstick made her full lips stand out on her small pale face.

"How do I look Chess?" She asked as she slowed to a jog. Chess ran his slim hand through his grey hair with a bright blue strip in front.

"Fuckable." Chess growled before turning his back on her to open his door. "Now get your ass in the car!" Alice giggled at her friends antics before skipping around to the passenger side of the car.

"Hey we have to make a promise before we get there!" Alice laughed as she hoped in the car. Chess ignored her as he threw the shifter into gear and spun out if the drive way, only when they were racing down the road did he turn to look at her.

"What kind of promise?" He asked in a weary way.

"You can't steal any hot guys from me like you did at the bar last week!" Alice gave him a pouty face that always remained Chess of a chipmunk. Chess threw his head back as he burst laughter, only when he heard an irritated honk did he glacé back at the road. "You Cheshire Cat bastard." He burst into more laughter at the nickname she had given him when they were children.

"Alright, alright I promise not to steal any hot guys from you." Chess wheezed and laughed some more.

"Or any cute guys!" Alice protested.

"Or any cute guys!" Chess chanted after her, they then both began to laugh.

"For a sister you pretty annoying." Chess chuckled before leaning over a kissing Alice on the head.

"For a big brother your pretty gay." Alice teased and they both broke into laughter once more.

"Bye Daddy!" A girl with pale brown hair tied up in a messy bun. She sat in a red T-100 Toyota wearing a yellow sundress.

Standing in the door way of an old two story house was a short balding man with a large mustache.

"I love you Jane!" He shouted as she began down the driveway. "I love you." He whispered as she pulled out of view and onto the road.

Jane shifted and felt the Toyota rumble as it kicked into second gear. The white lines next to her blurring into one as she picked up speed. She looked at her map and the hastily drawn line leading from her house to Notre Dame collage. Which she had received a four thousand dollar scholarship to for Organic chemistry.

Up ahead she spotted a dark blue car and two figures leaning up against it. When they seemed to notice her they waved and stuck their thumbs out. Horrible thoughts and images flashed through her mind of what could happen if she tried to help them. As she neared she slowed to a stop and cracked the passenger window. The man that walked up to the window almost stole her breath from her.

He was tan and had a very angler face. Aquamarine like she had never seen before pooled together to become his eyes. His lips transformed into a sparkling smile with straight gleaming teeth as he neared. Long auburn dreads framed his face and bounced around on his jean jacket covered shoulders. He wore a shirt with a giant paw print with the word WILD scrawled beneath, the shirt was tucked in just above his belt buckle, a roaring gorillas head.

"Sorry but is there any chance me and my sister could hitch a ride?" The handsome stranger said, the charming smile never disappearing from his face. Janet's attention shifted as the boy pointed at the other shape she had seen earlier. Leaning up against the car was a short curvy African American woman with a fohawk sticking up and forward. Jane could see that this strangers 'sister' was scowling at him from where she stood.

"Uh..." Jane thought it over, she had to get going, where they even heading the same way? "Where are you going?" Jane asked finally.

Again the stranger smiled. "We're headed to Notre Dame Collage, is that on your way?" Jane couldn't help but smile at the ironic situation, and she saw his smile broaden as well.

"Ya that's on my way." Jane laughed and unlocked the doors. At the click the 'sisters' scowl loosened and she seemed relived. The dark man open the door but didn't step in, instead he lifted a skateboard up for her to see.

"Do you mind if I throw this in the back?" He asked as his the girl behind him began climbing the slope to reach Jane's truck.

"No I don't mind." Jane couldn't help but smile again, their was something about this man that made her smile.

"I'm riding shotgun." The African woman stated and gave Tarzan a pointed look that he laughed at.

"Do you mind?" The man said to Jane in an apologetic way. Jane could do nothing but nod no, the man then lifted himself into the truck. He threw his left leg over the stick, brushing it with hers, the other push against the other woman's as she got into the truck. Jane stared at the stick but dared not reach for it, only when the two had settled and stared at her in confusion did she reach for the stick shift between his legs.

"My names Tarzan." The man said after a few minutes of silence. "This is Terk." He said gesturing to the woman he called his sister.

"He's probably already told you I'm his sister, well I am, he's adopted." She gestured to herself. "As am sure you can tell." Her word came out snippy and Tarzan glanced over to her before saying. "I would tell you she's in a bad mood but that's how she always is." He laughed until he got a loud smack to the head.

"I'm right here." Terk growled.

"So your heading to Notre Dame?" She said so the pair couldn't break into an argument, Tarzan turned and smiled.

"Yep it's my first her third." Tarzan gestured over his shoulder to Terk.

"Really?" Jane questioned. "How old are you both?"

"Twenty one and this kid's nineteen, a late starter." Terk said as she reached around to pull Tarzan into a choke hold.

"Me too." Jane smiled at their antics. "But I was offered a scholarship I couldn't pass up a month ago and decided that it was time to go." Jane glanced over before she spoke again. "I'm nineteen too."
