A/N: I know I said I wasn't going to post this until I got 3 reviews, but no one was doing anything I and thought that since the likelihood of anyone new seeing it was pretty low I decided to post it. BUT I will absolutely NOT post the next one until three people review got it? Now on the the chapter!

"No, no, and God no!" Mulan turned down another bunch of clothes. Ariel collapsed into a chair. Belle was reading next to her and Rapunzel had set off to look for more clothes. Jasmine slouched in her chair groaning.

"Can't we just give up already?" She asked Rapunzel when she came back "We've been at this for two whole hours!" All of the other girls had bags of skirts, shoes, and makeup. Mulan was the only one who hadn't bought anything.

"No! I will not go down that easy!"

I think you have done all that you can do." Jasmine argued, but Rapunzel just crossed her arms over her chest and stuck her nose in the air.

"Rapunzel really?" Mulan came out of the dressing room in a horrible, pink, fluffy, skirt-thing.

"What? It's kind of...cute?"

"Cute? It's pink!"

"Pink is cute!"

"Correction, it's too pink. It's so pink that Lottie would look at it and go 'wow that is too pink for me' that's how pink it is."

"All right that is IT! Mulan buy a scarf or something and let's get out of here!" Jasmine threw her hands up in anger.

"Please, just let me go and try one last time! Please Jasmine?" Rapunzel pouted, Jasmine glared, but she didn't stop her.

Rapunzel weaved through the racks, and racks of clothing. She came up behind a dark haired boy and was about to pass him when she saw him slip a piece of jewelry off the rack and into a large pocket of his sweatshirt. He then took off toward the exit.

"The check out's that way." She said loudly making the guy jump. He looked terrified for a second before regaining his composure.

"Sorry?" He smirked and gave her the once over. He definitely was attractive, and Rapunzel studied him with a quizzical look.

"You were about to steal that necklace." She popped her hip, and the guy looked around as if judging whether or not he could outrun her.

"Look, I didn't want to do this but here it comes." he narrowed his eyes and pursed his lips.

Rapunzel hit him over the head with her purse.

"Damn, that usually works..." He started to back up ever so slowly, trying to do it so Rapunzel wouldn't notice.

"Don't move!"

"Or else...?"

"I'll...I'll scream! And tell that guard over there you're stealing!" The guy's face went pale.

"Now there is no need to do that, I'm sure we can work something out. I can do something for you or something just don't call over the guard."

"Well there is one thing-"

"Well hurry it up and tell me already woman!" He said frantically.

"Punzel? Rapunzel what's taking you so long?" Ariel's voice could be heard coming closer. Rapunzel grabbed the guy's hand and a pen.

"Here, come to this address at 8. Go to the back window and call for me."

"And if I don't...?"

"My mother owns the store. I can make sure the camera footage get to where it needs to go." She shot back. The guy huffed.

"Fine blondie. See you at 8?" And with that he disappeared into the racks of clothes. Rapunzel turned to find Ariel.

"Rapunzel? Where have you been are you alright?" Ariel looked worried, and Rapunzel just hugged her old friend.

"No Ariel, I'm fine. I think I found the perfect thing for Mulan though. It's this necklace." In face Rapunzel had seen it when she caught the guy stealing another necklace. It was a little red dragon pendant.

"It's perfect for her, now let's go I'm starving. Shopping is hard work." The two walked back giggling to the dressing rooms.

"Hey Mulan look what I found!"

"I swear Rapunzel if it's another skirt-"

"I think that is a battle for another day. Who's hungry?"

.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.

"So what do you think she wants from you?" Phoebus asked Flynn, who shrugged.

"I have no idea. She did ask me to meet her at her house after dark." He winked at his friend, who rolled his eyes.

"You sicken me sometimes."

"I sicken even myself sometimes." Flynn kicked his feet up on the table. "Where's Aladdin?"

"Out with what's his face Abu. His half brother? He was going to meet up with us and Jim soon, but Jim texted me. He said something about a change in plans and he might be bringing along someone."

"Like a chick someone? Has Jim found a girl!" Flynn looked excited. Jim was good looking enough to find a girlfriend, but he had never really been interested in anyone. Not to say he didn't have his fair share of flings.

"I don't know, He was really vague. Saying he was either going to drop them off at home or bring them here he did asked if you were sober, so who knows what that mean?"

"That means it's a chick, and a chick he wants to impress. They aren't anywhere near dating yet. He probably met her last night, but really likes her or something. She must not run in our group either or else he would've told us, and it's someone classy. Someone trashy wouldn't care if I was drunk." Flynn calmly explained. "So let's see here. Chick, new chick, classy chick, most likely in our grade or he wouldn't bring her we would give him a bunch of crap if she was younger than us so that leaves Snow, Cinderella haha just kidding not them. Lottie (oh please no), Tiana (haha) Meg, Tink, and Arista. Adding in whose in and out of his league of course." Flynn looked back satisfied, and Phoebus stared wide eyed.

"You narrowed down a whole city of girls down to five girls. What...how...? You can't even do basic Algebra!"

"It's a gift."

"It's creepy that's what it is." Phoebus huffed.

"Please Phoebus, jealousy does not become you."

"I am not jealous!"

"You don't have to deny it, my awesomeness is sometimes too much to handle. But you can be honest with me- Hey it's Aladin! Nice of you to show up buddy." Flynn reached over and patted his friend on the back.

"How's your brother?" Phoebus asked.

"He's doing fine. Passing his classes, staying out of trouble..." The boys just nodded. Aladdin didn't get to see his brother very often. Aladdin lived with his mom most of the time. (Every so often she would skip town and Aladdin would go and live with Phoebus until she came back) But Abu lived with his older half-sister.

"So what did I miss?"

"Well Flynn thinks-"

"Echm Flynn knows thank-you-very-much,"

"Fine! Flynn knows that Jim found a girl." Phoebus amended. "Happy?"

"Ecstatic." Flynn smiled sweetly.

"What? How? What?" Aladdin looked very confused.

"Well m'dear boy, it's all a matter of science-" Flynn started

"We got one text from Jim, and now Flynn thinks he knows everything." Phoebus cut him off.

"I do know everything! It's really quite simple," He explained to Aladdin his findings.

"B-but you can't even do basic Algebra!" Aladdin exclaimed.

"Why do people keep saying that!"

"Because it's true."

"I will have you know, I passed Algebra."

"You cheated off of Quasi the entire year!"

"W-well, I...I still passed!"

"You're hopeless."

"Well what did you get Mr. Smarty Pants?"

"B, studied with Esmeralda. She helped Pocahontas pass it early that summer so she knew most of the material."

"Why didn't I just cheat off of her?"

"Because she would've kicked your ass?"

"She wouldn't-"

"Flynn, she would've kicked your ass."

The boys sat in silence for awhile after that. All that could be heard was Aladdin eating his chips and Flynn tapping his foot. They all stared off in different directions, watching people go in and out of the stores, kids screaming, and girls screaming over sales.

"You know, I could get used to doing nothing all day." Flynn sighed.

"You already do nothing all day." Phoebus said without moving his head. Flynn huffed, but he didn't say anything.

"Have you heard anything from Jim yet?" Aladdin said a few minutes later.

"Here let me check...yeah he said he was going to be late and we should just head back to my house. He'll meet us there." Phoebus said. "Oops."

"Well that would have been helpful information." Flynn rolled his eyes. "I call shotgun!"

.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.

"Hey dad it's Belle calling again. Just wondering how your trip has been so far, I'm having so much fun with my new friends! Alright, well I have to go but when you get this could you call me back? I haven't heard from you all weekend. Love you daddy! Bye." Belle sighed as she hung up the phone.

"Still no answer?" Jasmine asked.

"Still no answer." Belle shook her head.

The two girls were sitting in Jasmine's huge bedroom. Jasmine was painting her nail while Belle stared off into space. Usually when Belle's dad went on business trips she went over to Ms. Laurel's house, but Jasmine had offered to let her stay all weekend.

"I'm sure he'll call you back tomorrow, there's no need for you to get worried!" Jasmine tried to cheer her new friend up.

"Yeah, I bet he's just busy doing something." Belle looked off into space again. Jasmine studied her new friend closely. Then stood up.

"One sec, I'm going to go get some ice cream." She ran downstairs to the kitchen and called out to the maid on duty.

"Hey could I get a big bucket of ice cream and two spoons please?" Taking the ice cream she scurried back upstairs.

"So Belle, tell me about yourself." Jasmine plopped down on her big bed and made room for Belle.

"What do you mean?" Belle asked taking a spoon.

"Well, tell me your life story. Or your friends at your old school."

"I only really had two good friends. One of them Anastasia, lives in the next town over. She and I have been friends since I moved here, and then my other friend was Odette. We haven't been close since freshman year though. She became kind of popular, whereas I didn't."

"Wait Odette? Blond, seems sweet?" Jasmine asked.

"Yeah! You know her?"

"Do I know her?! She and Ariel got into this huge fight this summer. Odette went out with Ariel's ex Derek and-"

"Wait hold up, Ariel was the one that glitter bombed Derek's car!" Belle asked looking awed.

"Well she might have had some help from yours truly-" Jasmine was cut off by Belle's loud laughter.

"He was so mad...should've seen his face...hahahaha...I can't believe that was you guys!" She started to fall over but Jasmine caught her.

"So it was a good prank?"

"The best I've ever seen. People talked about it for the rest of the summer! You should've seen him driving around in that pink sparkly car..." She finally calmed down. "So what about you?"

"Me?"

"Yes you silly. What's your story?"

"Well my mother and father were both born in Saudi Arabia. And they moved here for business."

"That's all you're going to say?" Belle asked confused.

"Why? What else is there to say?"

"Well, what about their life in Saudi Arabia? How did they meet? I bet they have a really romantic story-"

"I would rather not talk about it. What about your parents?" Jasmine said quickly looking down.

"Jasmine are you okay? I'm sorry if I said something wrong, I didn't mean to hurt your feelings."

"No, no, it's just...do you want to know the real reason why I won't ever date?" Belle nodded slowly. "It's because...I can't."

"I don't think I understand."

"You see my parents weren't in love with each other. At all. They barely knew each other."

"You mean that-"

"My parents marriage was arranged by their parents. My mom was only 17 years old and my dad was almost 30."

"Oh my gosh."

"It really isn't that bad compared to some of them. My mom was really lucky she was born into a good family. It really isn't uncommon in Saudi Arabia. But here in America, everything is different, but that doesn't mean my father isn't going to arrange my marriage." Jasmine sounded so calm explaining it all.

"So you put up all of these rules to protect yourself?" Belle asked wide eyed.

"It makes it harder for me to get married off. Other people think it's just because I'm hard to be around and I'm picky, hard to please, and controlling. No one wants to marry someone like that." She laughed. "So tell me about your parents."

Belle just shook her head.

"I'm going to feel like I'm bragging!" She said softly, but Jasmine smiled.

"Do you want to know a secret?"

"Another one! I don't know if I can handle this..." Jasmine laughed, and just like that the tension in the room evaporated.

"No, no, no! Not another one like that!" She looked around, "I love, love stories."

"No way! Really?"

"Yes! But if you tell the other girls I'll kick you."

"Cross my heart and hope to die." Belle crossed her heart with her finger, and Jasmine playfully pushed her.

"Oh just tell me the story already!"

"Well, my mother was living with her grandparents in Paris, and my dad was working on a project there. My mom always told me about this little back cafe a few blocks from her house, it just so happens that my dad liked to go there also..."

Emilie strolled down the small street. Calmly looking in each window, and smiling at the people she passed. She felt pretty wearing her new pink A Line dress, and her mothers crochet cardigan. She couldn't shake the feeling that something big was going to happen to her today, maybe something that would change her life.
