"And I'm just so worried all the time-" Esmeralda was cut off by a barrage of noise. Yep, you guessed it, there were more SHOUTS coming from outside the lounge. Meg turned to Esme and focused ever harder on her worries over Phoebus and his was why relationships sucked ass sometimes.
"PULL!" Small dragging sound. "PULL!" Small dragging sound.
Meg slammed her laptop and flung open the door. Sure enough, Mulan, Merida and Kida were dragging someone along the floor. There was also a strawberry…brunette girl with them, who was sobbing into Cinderella's arms.
"You know, you guys could lift this one." Meg stated, as they came to a halt and she saw that the person they were dragging was a lot smaller than Charier. Esmeralda immediately fell over herself to help comfort the strawberry-brunette and lead her to a sofa.
"Of course we could lift him." Merida said. "But it's more fun this way."
"Are you wearing those stiletto boots?" Mulan queried.
Meg smirked. "Yep."
"K… can you-" Kida awkwardly gestured at the person's lower section.
Meg gasped as she saw who she was. "That's Hans! Holy shit, that's Hans! I'm sooooo kicking him in the balls! I would have done it anyway! I've… done it before!"
"They used to date." Esmeralda put in. "He totally screwed her over."
The strawberry-brunette started sobbing harder. "And me! And me too!" She gasped. "You know, he was going to steal the Arendelle fortune by getting to my sister… I heard that he was going to frame her for some crime just so that he could marry me and have my fortune…!"
Meg prepared mentally and then kicked Hans in the balls. Hard. She was pretty proud He yelled and winced in pain, swearing at her. Merida, Mulan, and Kida fell about laughing, and even the strawberry-brunette giggled slightly.
"So? How did you find out about this?" Meg asked.
"Oh, she was crying like mad and we dragged it out of her. Then we went to find Cindy, and then we palmed her off on Cindy. They found out that we were going to get him, so they came along. Then we found Hans, and…" Mulan gesticulated at the screaming man on the floor.
"This happened." Kida finished.
Meanwhile, they could still hear racking sobs. "He was just using me… he was so kind as well… and I just FELL for it… and I don't know what to do-oo-ooo…! I am such a codependent MESS- you guys have to help meeeeee!"
Mulan smirked and turned to the Greek girl. "Wanna come see what we do to teach these asses a lesson?"
"Very happy to. Cindy, Esmeralda,… strawberry brunette?"
"The name's Anna." the strawberry-brunette sniffed. "And yes… I-I need to see this."
"Yep. I'm coming." Esmeralda jumped up. "JUSTICE, am I right?"
"Hell yeah." Anna mumbled weakly, dissolving into more tears.
"Can I come?" asked Quasi. "I want to see this."
"I'm coming." grunted a random guy who no-one had ever heard of. At least that's what Meg thought-
"Oh, hi Adam." Esmeralda greeted.
"Do you know everyone?" Meg asked incredulously.
"Most." the gypsy answered off-handedly. Then she turned to the guy. "Looking for Belle? 'Cause otherwise why are you on our floor?"
"Yeah. We're supposed to be going on a date, but I think she'd want to see this." the guy replied. He called out to Mulan, Merida and Kida. "Can we pick Belle up?"
"Sure! The more who see this the better!" Merida yelled. "That's the whole point! Kida wants to pick up Milo, and Mulan's picking up Shang!"
"Yeah. We're using the pole in the courtyard!" Kida finished.
That evening, an assortment of fifty students had gathered to see Hans Southern lifted onto a pole. Many stopped by after the rumour was sufficiently huge, and it was only after a few hours that a staff member came downstairs to take him off. However, the bitter Ms. Gothel, after hearing why he was on the pole in the first place, let the three off with no punishment. She had man issues… anyhow, one more thing that happened was that Belle and Adam were very late for their date. But they agreed it was worth it.
"HUGE PROBLEM!" Anna squealed, running into the lounge. "Giant, great, big, massive, huge problem."
Meg put down her magazine and sighed, rolling her eyes. The lounge, usually only occupied by Esmeralda, Quasi, Rapunzel and herself, was now constantly full of Anna as well. Who was very nice. But way too… loud. And squeal-happy. "WHAT?" she asked.
"My sister's run away!" Anna screamed. "Hans managed to frame Elsa anyway, and now she's run away!"
"For what?" Esmeralda asked.
"Attempted murder!" Anna cried. "So, I was hoping you guys could help me."
"Wait." Rapunzel stood up, looking confused. "I thought you don't speak to your sister!"
"We do. Just… little and often." Anna answered. "But now she's run away and I'd be a terrible sister if I didn't get her baaaaack!" she whined. "And we have to prove her innocennnnncccce!"
"I know some lawyers." Meg put in off-handedly. "Thank Hans."
"Just how badly did he screw you over?" Anna questioned.
"He was in debt and tried to sell me to a pimp by the street name of Hades. I had to call quite a lot of assorted lawyers to get out of that- I think Hades is in prison now. But HANS walked free. So… yeah." Meg finished lamely.
"What's a pimp?" Rapunzel questioned.
"Yeah, what is it?" Quasi wondered.
"Never mind!" Meg huffed. "Anyhow… back to the matter at hand. Finding Elsa and getting her off the hook."
"Well?" Anna pleaded. "Will you guys help me?"
"Definitely!" Esme shouted. "JUSTICE!"
"I wanna come!" Rapunzel said hopefully.
"Come then." Esmeralda smiled. "Quasi, you wanna join?"
"Sure." Quasi smiled.
"MEG?" they all turned to look at her. She knew she had no choice…
"Fine."
Meg already knew how much she was going to regret this.
"So, what's the plan?" Meg demanded, as they all sat in the lounge, trying to work something out. Meg had never seen the lounge so full- most people preferred to hang out in their rooms- but now it contained Milo, Kida, Cinderella, Shang, Mulan, Merida, Anna, Esmeralda, Quasi, Rapunzel, and Megara herself.
Milo and Shang were only there because they were in some of Anna's classes and felt sort of obligated, Cindy was there as she was bored of her clingy boyfriend and wanted to escape him for a bit (her words), Mulan, Kida and Merida because those three could never miss an adventure, Anna because… well, it's obvious, Esmeralda because she wanted to stand up for 'JUSTICE!', Quasi and Rapunzel because they were basically naive comic relief. And Meg?
Meg was there because they had basically forced her.
"Um…" Anna trailed off.
The group continued like this for a few minutes, tutting and um-ing and aah-ing at their complete lack of ideas.
"Well, I know this one guy… Mr Weselton or something…?" Esmeralda suggested.
"He's slime." Anna stated. "And he's crazy. Trust me, I would know."
"How?" Mulan questioned.
"I called him already." Anna answered.
"Um, we could call Jim Cricket. That's who I called with the whole… Hans thing." Meg suggested.
"Why didn't you suggest tha' before?" Merida demanded.
"Eh, it just popped into my head now. Beware, he's a wiseass, but he's damn smart and could probably get Elsa out of this mess."
"Hey, Anna!" Hercules called. "Have you told Elsa about our plan…?"
Anna's eyes widened in realisation, which Meg took to mean that she hadn't. "[beep]'s sake." she murmured.
Meg applauded sarcastically.
"Well." Cinderella, ever the practical one, spoke up. "We need to find Elsa, because we can't make a case for her without her actually being here… so before we call the damn lawyer we need to find her."
"Oh yeah…yeah! Let's go find her!" Anna cheered. "I know of many places in which she could be."
"I thought you two were estranged or something." Kida put in.
"We're not estranged! She loves me really!" Anna defended hotly. "Anyway, we need to… get on the road, and find my sister!" The girl stood up, but no-one followed her.
"Calling her might be a good idea!" Meg suggested.
"Sure. You do it, I'm scared." Anna said shortly.
Meg placed her hands on her hips and turned to glare at the shifty girl. "Are you for real? Give me your phone?"
"Ooooh… can we please just use yours?" Anna pleaded.
Meg snorted. "[beep] no. I've used all my contract this month. Not all of us have a family fortune, so I'm cheap and broke."
"So broke that she found the money to buy two shirts, a necklace and a dozen shots this week…" Esmeralda sighed out loud. The room laughed slightly, until Meg shot them a very scary smile. Needless to say, they shut up.
Anna rolled her eyes. "Fine." She handed Meg her iPhone. Meg tried not to wince too obviously at the sickeningly cutesy bunny on the case. Meg found Elsa's number and dialled.
"Hello there?" a tentative voice asked.
"Hi. My name is Megara Sarkis, calling on behalf of Miss Anna Arendelle." she greeted in an official voice.
"My sister?"
"Yeah, where are you?"
"Oh no, you shouldn't come! Please don't! I'll just stay in my hideaway until this all blows over!"
"But where are you, Anna's really worried! You got framed- we're trying to get you out of this!" Meg was now really exasperated. "You're innocent, so why are you hiding?"
Elsa's voice grew worried. "But the thing is, I'm not sure if I did it or not… I just- I can't remember a thing. But I might have, so don't bother finding me. I'm not sure if I'm innocent."
And with that, Elsa Arendelle hung up.
This just got a whole lot harder.
