Hey everybody, it's Kilosi! Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who reviewed, favorited and subscribed to this story. It truly means a lot to know that there are people out there who enjoy it! Just wanted to clear up a few things before we continue.

Firstly, in my description of this story I stated that there would be musical numbers because, duh, it's Disney. All lyrics for musical numbers will be in italics and the original song will be linked in an authors note at the bottom of each chapter. Hopefully, that will keep things from becoming muddled.

Secondly, one Guest reviewer was a little confused by a statement that Belle made about Subira being the only African Princess/Queen, which in this universe is true. Tiana does exist but she has never been nor will she ever be African royalty. She is the second American Princess Disney has ever had and the first African-American Princess Disney has ever created. In addition to that, Tiana is not royalty, she married into a royal family and despite that, she is not living a royal lifestyle (it wasn't what she wanted anyway). Subira is not American in the slightest and she was born royal. However upon re-reading the previous chapters again, I can completely understand how that could be confusing so I will make a point of making things like this clearer in future chapters. Thanks so much for that review, Guest!

Thirdly, and I'll shut up, updates are always going to be erratic/slow. Unlike many FanFic writers, I can't devote all of my time to this story because it is not part of my career. I am a singer and all around performer. I kinda have to be out singing and taking class to make a name for myself which means that chapters come out whenever I finish them. This means that there is no set schedule of when to expect them. However, that also means that occasionally I will add more than 1 chapter at a time, for example, if I finish chapters 10, 11, 12 in the same weekend, I'll just add them all at the same time. Knowing that people enjoy my story motivates me to write which makes updates sooner but ultimately I can't sacrifice my career obligations for an awesome hobby of mine. Hopefully, that is understandable.

And once again, thank you so much for reading!


The next morning five young ladies woke with large smiles on their faces. Each of those young ladies went about the morning rituals of washing up, fixing their hair and reviewing their clever plan to give their friend a chance to live her dream. The young lady in question woke with a resigned smile on her face. She went about her morning ritual slowly and without drive. She was not looking forward to her studies or even the support of her friends. Her only goal for the day was to get through without letting them know that she was still hurting inside.

Subira was able to keep a smile on her face throughout her dance class with Rapunzel and her history class with Belle. Physical Education was a breeze due to Merida's usual jibes and Mulan's bright smile. Voice class proved to be especially difficult though. That day their professor had asked to hear Elsa sing, "Let It Go" for perhaps the fifteenth time. Between the moving lyrics of the song and the heat of anger radiated from the back of the room, where the unholy trinity resided, Subira found it hard to keep up her facade. She resolved to find an empty bathroom stall to cry in during lunch but it seemed like her friends had made it their mission to stay by her side all day, never allowing her a minute to sneak away.

What was even stranger was their demeanors. All five of her friends were sporting large grins that she had never seen before. The only one she could compare it to was Belle's special "plotting" smile.

The meaning clicked in Subira's head just as she sat down at their usual center table in the cafeteria.

"Okay, what's with all the smiles?" She asked as Merida sat across from her and took a huge bite of her apple.

"My dear, Subira. Whatever do you mean?" Anna asked as she slid into the seat on Subira's left side.

"That! That right there. The secrecy. You just answered my question with a question! What are you planning?"

"I can't believe that you think us capable of conspiring, Subira," Belle retorted.

"Coming from the bookworm who is constantly planning, that's just insulting to my intelligence."

"Oh Subi, we have simply found a way to support you in your quest for a Disney Crown," Anna answered.

"...Belle wrote a script for you to read from, didn't she?"

"Maybe."

"Girls, it's over. I'm not on a quest for a crown; I don't even care about it anymore so you don't have to worry about it!"

"Too late, we've worried about it," Belle quipped.

"And our plan is bloody brilliant!" Merida exclaimed.

"So there is a plan!"

"The best plan possible!" Mulan answered as she slid into the seat next to Merida.

"Girls, I don't know if..."

"Well, we do," said Rapunzel as she slid into the other seat next to Subira. Subira smiled when she saw that Rapunzel had also snagged an extra apple spice muffin and placed it on Subira's lunch tray. "Stop worrying, we've got it all worked out." Subira surveyed her friends determined faces and sighed before nodding in acquiescence. Belle chuckled darkly as she spied the last of the students sitting and beginning to chow down.

"And it looks like it's finally time to put the best phase of our plan into action," said Belle as she winked at Rapunzel.

"Should I be scared?" Subira asked as Rapunzel began to tap out a rhythm with her tray on the café table. Anna joined in by stomping the same rhythm and clapping her hands. Mulan also began to tap the table and Merida grabbed two plastic cups and used them to add to the rhythm. Rapunzel grinned as Subira's eyes widened in disbelief. They couldn't be doing what she thought they were doing, could they?

Could they?!

Of course they were.

"Hey, hey, everybody.We've got something to say," Rapunzel chanted as she got up from their table and made her way to the center of the cafeteria. Anna stood and joined in as students began looking their way. "We may seem as different, as the night is from day."

Subira cringed as Merida and Mulan jumped onto the table and also sang. "But you look a little deeper and you will see." Rapunzel and Anna grinned and shared a hug, and Merida and Mulan gave each other high fives as the four of them sang the last line. "That I'm just like you and you're just like me. Yeah!"

Belle chuckled at Subira's priceless face before also standing atop the table and offering her best friend a hand. Subira shook her head vehemently before laying her head down, praying that the potentially embarrassing situation would disappear. Belle shrugged and motioned for all students to join her at their table. "Hey, hey, everybody! I'm here to shout that the magic of friendship is what it's all about." Belle's smile grew as her peers: Peter Pan, Aladdin, Jasmine and the Genie, Tarzan and Jane, Alice, Little Lilo and Nani, Audrey, Tiana and Naveen, Pocahontas and John Smith, Hercules, Good old Quasi and Esmeralda, surrounded her embarrassed friend in support; all of them cheering on and joining in the fun. Subira peeked up, surprised at the sound of people singing along, rallying around her. "Yeah,we thought we were different as the night is from the day until Queen Subira helped us see another way." She giggled as Belle grabbed her hands and pulled her on top of the table, dancing as they sang together. "So get up, get down! If you're gonna come around we can work together help Subira win a crown.So get up, get down!'Cause it's gonna make a sound if we work together helping Queen Subira win a crown."

Merida jumped from the table onto a chair, planted a foot on its back; it toppled over, but she landed upright. "Hey, hey listen to me. I'm sending a message To Disney. Open your eyes and you will see that this girl is true royalty." The other five followed as Merida made her way to the front of the café.

Mulan was the first to join her at the hip. "Working hard, not giving up, even though it's been real tough.Throughout the yearsand everyday she shows us what she's made of!" The other four lined up beside them and began to dance and twirl in unison with Subira in the middle.

"So get up, get down! If you're gonna come around we can work together help Subira win a crown.So get up, get down!'Cause it's gonna make a sound if we work together helping Queen Subira win a crown."

Subira giggled sheepishly as Belle once again coerced her on top of a table, obviously hoping that she would take a solo. The African Queen took a deep breath before singing out to her peers

"I've got the best of friends; they mean the world to me. They make me proud to stand up straight and say that I'm a Queen. So I'm not giving up, I've got the perfect team. We're gonna do our best 'cuz everyone deserves a dream!"

The café roared with applause, stomping feet, clapping hands and supportive voices and the five continued their impromptu flash mob dance party.

"Jump up, make a sound. Hey! Stomp your slippers to the ground.Shout it out, make a change,gonna come around.Jump up, make a sound. Hey!Stomp your slippers to the ground.Disney U, we need you to help her win a crown!"

The spontaneous celebration had provided the perfect opportunity for a certain redhead and her two blonde cronies to sneak out of the café and seethe in the hall.

"Who does she think she is?" Ariel growled as she pace the brightly colored lockers.

"Don't even worry about it, Ariel," said Aurora with a dismissive wave of the hand, "It's not like it's going to work."

"Yeah. Just because the school wants her in the competition doesn't mean Disney will just let her in."

"Won't work? Don't you know anything! Even Princess Nerd McReads Allday knows that if Subira manages to get enough support she can be voted into the competition, no audition necessary."

"What?" the two exclaimed.

"I don't why I even know why I...never mind. She wants to play dirty? Fine, we'll play dirty!"


How many of you guessed that I was a My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic Fan?

The song parodied here is the Helping Twilight Win The Crown Song from the My Little Pony Eqestria Girls film.
