Fiona sighed as she woke up the next morning as she was starting public school today as she got up and was worried knowing that everybody would be mean to her about her curse as she got dressed in a kelly green dress but put a locket on that her father had given her when she was born as it helped her remember before she was cursed as she left her room hoping that somebody would be nice to her but doubted it as she went downstairs to the dining room where she saw her mother Lillian drinking tea as she was happy seeing her only daughter as she hugged her knowing she was nervous about going to public school in the kingdom for the first time.

She knew that Fiona was nice with a kind heart but knew that other kids wouldn't understand her and be mean to her because of her curse as she watched her eat knowing she would need to be strong but knew Harold was in a bad mood about it as Fiona looked nervous.

"Is Dad angry at me for doing this?

If you want, I could stay home." she told her.

Lillian sighed as she knew that Fiona was worried about this but needed to help her.

"Yes he is but it's not your fault.

You need to experience being with others your own age." she answered.

Fiona nodded shyly as she grabbed her dark green backpack.

She then left the castle.

Fiona was quiet as she sat in the back of the school carriage as other kids were staring and making comments about her and it made her sad as she could hear them which upset her as she hadn't done anything to them as she sighed knowing that would happen as she would arrive at school as the carriage stopped at Far, Far Away High as they got out of the carriage but Fiona was feeling blue as cheerleaders were snickering and pointing but she didn't know that a certain brown skinned girl had been watching this and felt sorry for her remembering how sad she'd been last night when they'd met at the fountain and wondered why she was so sad.

She then approached the and entered the building as she was nervous as she had never been to school before and was nervous knowing that she didn't have many friends as she approached the Homeroom as she opened the door and entered the room as she saw the other kids look at her as the teacher smiled seeing her.

"Class this is Tiana.

She came here from New Orleans.

I hope you'll make her feel welcome." she said.

Tiana then saw Fiona sitting at the back of the room and sat beside her and noticed the red haired girl had her head on the table but saw sadness in her blue eyes.

She wanted to talk to her but decided to wait until class was over so nobody would be mean as she'd heard several of the kids whisper things about her but she'd ignored them and knew Fiona wasn't confident as she was about things.

She hoped that she could help her as lunch came around and she'd made gumbo but knew nobody in the class would want to eat with her but she saw Fiona sitting outside alone without any lunch on the grass and decided to join her.

"Hey there Fiona." the red haired girl heard her say.

She was surprised seeing Tiana there beside her and wondered what she was doing there.

"I wanted to get to know you better after last night but I wanted to talk to you.

Are you hungry?" she asked her as Fiona nodded.

She'd smelt the warm gumbo from the pot in the basket and was curious about it.

"What is it?" she asked her.

"It's gumbo.

A traditional New Orleans delicacy." she answered.

Fiona then tried some as Tiana poured some of it into a bowl as she handed her a spoon as the princess ate some but liked it.

"This is delicious!

We should get the lunch room to make this for lunch." Fiona answered.

Tiana smiled seeing the reaction to gumbo from Fiona knowing she liked it.

"Is there more food from this kingdom called New Orleans?" she asked her.

Tiana giggled hearing that.

"Yes there's more food." she said smiling.

Tiana saw that Rapunzel along with some of the cheerleaders were staring at them but ignored them, sending them icy glares of her own as Rapunzel and the cheerleaders left them alone.

Tiana then saw worry in Fiona's blue eyes as they went back to class as she sighed knowing that something was bothering her and wondered why the other kids were mean to her as she had a feeling there was something more as the rest of the day dragged on.

She hoped that she could help Fiona feel better about herself as school let out and watched her go off alone but was going back home to the castle because that's where she felt she belonged.

She hoped that she could get her to open up.

Fiona sighed as she had finished doing homework in her room as she was thinking about everything that had happened today as she was listening to music on her hi-fi as she was on her bed as she was having a snack of cookies and was hoping that things would get beter as she remembered that Tiana had been with her most of the day but hadn't told her mother about that as she was thinking about other things like when she was little and the other princesses wanted to be friends with her until the curse had happened and then they'd shunned her and made her feel like an outcast because of her curse.

Tears fell from her blue eyes as she went down Memory Lane in her mind as she wiped away the tears from her eyes with her hand as she fell asleep.

She then had sweet, hopeful dreams.

In her heart, she hoped that somebody would befriend her and like her for herself instead of the curse that affected her at night.

Lillian knew that Fiona was a little lonely and sad because of this and blamed the curse for this.

She wished there was something she could do to help her........
