It's me, bs13. Yes, I wrote this chapter, as it sucks. :D J/K. Eh, anyway: I don't own Disney, nevrer have, never will, but I would like to, just to make a Pocahontas 3 where John Rolfe DIES! Sorry John Rolfe lovers. Beware the crazy fangirl.

"Please, Mulan?" Ariel begged. "You...or, um, Ping can be my wingman! Or...woman. Please?" Mulan sighed. As much as she hated being a cross dresser, this was the only way Shang talked to her...

"Okay." Mulan sighed.

"Yes!" Ariel hugged her friend. "So you'll come to Aurora's party as Ping!"

"As a guy?" Mulan echoed. "Wait, I never agreed to..."

"But Eric will be there!" Ariel pleaded. Mulan sighed.

"The things I do for you." Mulan said, and Ariel beamed.


Phoebus was never one for dancing. He hated it, in fact. Going to some party that Aurora threw was never in his agenda, but somehow he was roped into it, because Eric persuaded him to. Eric and Hercules were beside him, talking, but Phoebus just stared at the dance floor, not really looking. Then he saw her.

She was beyond beautiful. Her eyes were a dazzling emerald green, her skin a perfect shade of mocha. She was slim yet fit, and the way she danced attracted many stares. Her eyes met Phoebus's, and she winked. Phoebus nudged Eric.

"Who's that girl?" Phoebus asked, not wanting to point, so he subtly jerked his chin in her direction.

"Oh, yeah. That's Esmeralda." Eric said. "She's a great magician. And dancer, of course."

"Is she seeing anyone?" Phoebus asked, making Eric grin in realization. "N-Not that I care..."

"Nah. There's rumors, about her and Quasimodo, though. They're close friends." Eric said.

"Yeah, I remember him." Phoebus nodded. Quasimodo was in his science class. He spotted the short, redheaded boy watching Esmeralda, a smile on his face. "I think he likes her."

"Maybe." Eric shrugged, making Phoebus oddly jealous...and he didn't know why. There was something about Esmeralda that he was intrigued by...


"Ariel, do you really want me to do this?" Mulan said hesitantly, pulling her hair up.

"Relax. You're a natural." Ariel said.

"...Should I be offended by that?" Mulan arched an eyebrow.

"C'mon!" Ariel yanked her out of Aquata's car, towards the party. Mulan only sighed, glancing down at herself before entering what could be her social humiliation.

"I don't think I can do this." Mulan whispered.

"There's Eric! Please, you have to introduce me." Ariel begged. Mulan sighed in defeat, mustering up her guy-voice.

"Eric!" Mulan tried to slap him on the arm like guys do, but ended up missing. Eric glanced over at her, Hercules and Phoebus beside him.

"Oh, hey, Ping." Eric smiled. "Haven't seen you in PE for a while."

"Me? Oh, I'm one of those, uh...ditchers. Yeah, PE is so boring." Mulan said.

"Okay..." Eric said, looking weirded out. "I haven't seen you around much, you know, on campus."

"Yeah, you know, school...it's too...pushy." Mulan finished lamely.

"So, what do you like doing, then? After school?" Eric asked.

"I like..." Mulan cringed inside as she tried to think of guy stuff. Ariel hovered beside them, gazing lovingly at Eric. Luckily he didn't notice. "I like...sports!"

"Really? Which ones?" Hercules asked, the three boys attentive.

"Um..." she glanced over at Ariel, who made a move with her hand that she assessed as "swimming". "Swimming! I like swimming."

"Hey, have you seen the pool yet? Hercules, Phoebus and I were going to check it out." Eric asked. Ariel poked Mulan gently as he said that.

"Yeah, sounds...cool." Mulan managed.

"Let's go!" Hercules said eagerly. "Race you, Eric!" Laughing, the two boys broke into a run. Phoebus rolled his eyes and walked alongside Mulan, who hesitantly started after them, shooting Ariel a look. Ariel eyed Phoebus and just walked beside Mulan, not saying anything. The three boys had ignored Ariel the whole time. Typical guys.

"Man, Aurora's parents are loaded." Phoebus remarked as they reached the pool.

"Yup." Mulan said, and Ariel gazed longingly at the water- she loved to swim, as it reminded her of her late mother, who also loved swimming.

"Sorry I beat you, Eric." Hercules was grinning, as Eric shook his head in defeat.

"Isn't it cool, guys?" Eric said. "If only we could get in, huh?"

"Yeah, that'd be...rad!" Mulan said, cringing inside, as she aimed to slap his arm again. Unfortunately, she fell over while doing that, knocking right into Eric. Eric stumbled backward, hitting his head on the floor.

"Ow..." Eric tried to get up, but he fell backward again...in the pool. Mulan tried to reach out for him, almost falling in herself, but a strong arm caught her shoulder. Phoebus and Hercules rushed to the pool edge, trying to see Eric. Mulan turned face-to-face with Shang.

"Oh, hi." Mulan fumbled.

"You okay?" Shang's eyes were still, calm.

"Y-Yeah. Thanks." Mulan gulped. Shang released her shoulder.

"I met your sister, by the way." Shang said casually.

"Really? Um...what did she say?" Mulan said, glancing frantically towards the pool.

"Nothing much. She looks like you." Shang said. "I thought she was you."

"Me? But, I'm clearly a guy." Mulan blurted.

"Yeah. Well, I said sorry." Shang shrugged. "See you, Ping."

"Bye..." Mulan said weakly, rushing over to the other guys as Shang walked away. "Do you see Eric?"

"No...wait! There, I see him!" Hercules said. "I'll just go in after..." Ariel shoved between the guys, diving in. "Or she can..."

Ariel was an expert swimmer, and the minute Eric fell into the pool, she knew she needed to rescue him. She found him unconscious. When he hit his head he must've knocked out for a while. She dragged him up, shoving his torso up the pool walls, emerging from the water herself, coughing. Hercules pulled them both up, and Ariel sat beside Eric, gazing down at him.

"That was brave. You're a great swimmer." Hercules said, impressed, trying to see who she was, but he couldnt glimpse her face, only her red hair. Ariel just nodded, still focused on Eric. Slowly, he was coming to, as he began to cough. He weakly opened his eyes.

"Who..." he coughed again.

"I'm sorry!" Mulan hurried to say. "It was all my fault..." Eric began to sit up. Ariel went as white as a sheet, and she suddenly ran away.

"Man, that was..." Eric rubbed his head. "An experience." Mulan turned to look for Ariel, panicking when she couldn't.

"Um, I'll be back..." Mulan took off.

"Who saved me?" Eric asked, standing up shakily.

"A girl." Hercules said. "I didn't see who, though...but she seemed familiar...I might've known her from somewhere, I'm sure of it..."

"I didn't see her face." Phoebus nodded in agreement. Eric stared wistfully in the distance, hoping to see her. Any girl who would save him was a girl he needed to meet.


"Ariel, what are you, crazy?" Mulan hissed when she found her friend. "You wanted to meet him, remember?"

"I panicked!" Ariel wailed. "Please don't be mad!"

"We have a week." Mulan said, glaring at her friend. "Do you really want to show the cheerleaders AND the football players your Eric shrine?"

"It's not a shrine!" Ariel exclaimed.

"We have to try, okay?" Mulan said.

"Yeah..." Ariel gave a breezy sigh. "But off that...Shang?" Mulan turned red.

"What?" Mulan said nervously.

"He saved you. I think he likes you..." Ariel teased.

"He saved Ping, not me." Mulan snapped.

"So..." Ariel paused. "...Does that mean...he's gay?!"

"Ariel!" Mulan said. "I don't want to hear any of your crazy ideas."

"But..." Ariel began.

"Let's focus on getting you Eric." Mulan said, walking off, Ariel scurrying behind her.


"Tiana, want to be my assistant?" Esmeralda held out a jumble of metal. After some studying, Tiana realized they were some handcuffs.

"Assistant in what?" Tiana eyed her friend doubtfully.

"My magic act!" Esmeralda said, in her don't-you-already-know,-stupid?! voice.

"Magic act. At Aurora's party?" Tiana clarified.

"Nah, I brought my stuff and I figured I'd practice. I have a gig at some kid's birthday party next week, and there's a trick I want to try." Esmeralda said, rattling the handcuffs.

"I'm trusting you." Tiana said slowly. Esmeralda's face lit up, and she clicked one half of the handcuffs on Tiana's wrist.

"Now I need someone else..." Esmeralda scanned around. "I would call Quasimodo, but I think he's in the bathroom..." her green eyes lit up as another familiar face was shown. "Naveen! Come here!"

"Esmeralda, baby." Naveen flashed his charming, ever-so-white smile. "What's up?"

"I need help." Esmeralda gave him her pleading look that boys tended to melt for.

"Alright, whatcha need?" Naveen said agreeably. Tiana glanced between the two of them, not liking where this was going.

"Hold out your hand." Esmeralda instructed. Naveen complied, and Esmeralda snapped on the other half of the handcuffs.

"What's the purpose of this?" Tiana blurted. Naveen glanced sideways at Tiana, a smirking smile on his lips.

"Why? Don't you like being with me, princess?" Naveen teased.

"Don't call me princess." Tiana snapped, staring daggers at the boy beside her.

"Ok, be civil." Esmeralda said, fishing through a bag. "Now, for the trick I need to break apart the handcuffs and..." she trailed off.

"What?" Tiana asked, suspecting something was wrong. Something was usually wrong whenever Esmeralda did a magic trick- you'd think she'd be used to it by now.

"I was supposed to use trick handcuffs." Esmeralda smiled sheepishly. "I'll just...um..."

"Hold on. So what's going on here?" Naveen asked.

"You guys...are handcuffed together. And...I lost the key." Esmeralda said. Tiana exploded in fury.

"WHAT?!" Tiana yelled. "Esmeralda, this better be one of your jokes!"

"Look, I'm sure I had them somewhere, I can..." Esmeralda fumbled.

"You've done it now, huh?" Naveen remained calm.

"Look, I can probably get a spare someplace." Esmeralda assured the two. "So...don't sweat it. I'll get Quasi, and we'll go see what we can do. Meanwhile...enjoy the party?"

"How can I, when I'm with him?" Tiana demanded.

"Ouch." Naveen feigned hurt.

"It's temporary!" Esmeralda ran off, already yanking Quasimodo towards her car.

"So, princess, what's our plan?" Naveen tilted his head towards Tiana. "You know, our partying plan?"

"No plan. We wait until Esmeralda gets back." Tiana said stubbornly.

"Wow, you're a challenge." Naveen shook his head. "Alright. We'll wait. Just don't fall in love with me during the time we're together."

"As if." Tiana rolled her eyes.

"Just a warning." Naveen smirked, and the two went silent again, waiting for Esmeralda.
