{A/N: I'm so sorry I haven't posted in awhile, I've finishing school, and studying for finals and so forth, but now that I'm out I promise I'll be back to my writing!}

As Meg walked into the dance she squeezed Adonis' hand a little tighter. He smiled down to her. She looked at him, stunning in a white suit and a gold tie. It matched her dress perfectly. The gym was filled with balloons and streamers. Left and right people were approaching them and telling Adonis they were glad he was ok. His teammates were approaching them to shake his hand.

Suddenly Meg spotted Belle and Gaston. Belle looked not the least bit happy to be there with him.

She left Adonis for a minute to greet her friend. "Hey Belle"

"Hi Meg!" She smiled.

Meg looked at Gaston, who was looking at Belle. She waved goodbye and walked away, clearly they didn't want to be bothered, at least Gaston didn't want to be. As she walked back to Adonis, she saw Jasmine towing Aladdin around with Aurora tagging along.

"I thought I had lost you." He smiled.

In the distance she saw Rapunzel with Ferdinand and Cinderella with John. "Meg! Are you enjoying yourself?" She heard.

She turned around. It was Esmerelda and Quasi. "I didn't know you two were a thing!" Meg cried.

Esmerelda and Quasi turned bright red, "we're not actually," Esmerelda began, "we're just here as friends."

Meg immediately felt ashamed of her assumption. "Hey Adonis you're looking better!" Esmerelda smiled. "I'm going to join Pocahontas and Nakoma, see you two lovers around!"

"Do you want to go meet my friends, Rapunzel and Cinderella?" Meg asked

Adonis shrugged, "sure."

As they began to walk, they were approached by Rider. "Meg! Adonis! It's so great to see you both here, together, looking quite glowing this evening, no?" He flashed a dashing smile.

"Watch it, water boy." Adonis snarled.

"Adonis stop, this boy saved your life!" Meg cried.

"Is he a doctor?"

"Well-"

"Then he didn't save my life! He may think he's a hero, but he's just the stupid water boy!"

"He was one of the first people to rush to your aid!"

"Water didn't save my life Meg!" He barked.

"Stop, you're making a scene Adonis!" Meg yelled hotly.

Rider managed to slip away from the scene he had created. "I need some air!" Meg said angrily.

She slipped out of the gym. Out in the courtyard of the school she saw a girl sitting all alone. She glanced at her, "Must be a freshman," she muttered.

As she approached she noticed it was Alice's friend Wendy. She was sobbing on a bench. "Are you ok?" Meg asked.

"Peter likes Tiger Lily!"

Meg didn't know who either of those people were so she placed her hand on Wendy's shoulder and whispered, "I'm sorry,".

She breathed in the cold night air. She sat down on a bench and thought about how ridiculous Adonis was being. Since he had gotten back from the hospital heseemed so different. He acted like a big jerk to people, and Meg felt embarassed by his rude behavior. She put her head in her hands. Suddenly she felt something brush beside her. She looked through her fingers to see a green skirt. She lifted her head to see Belle sitting beside her. Belle tried to manage a smile. Meg stared at her, "why aren't you with Gaston?"

"He was talking to the Bimbettes, so I managed to slip away." She sighed, "might I ask the same of you and Adonis?"

"He was a real jerk to Rider, I tried to tell him that Rider helped save his life, but it just upset him more. He's been a real jerk lately, and it's so embarrassing." Meg looked down at the ground, "if you want the complete truth I kind of thought he would have come searching for me, I've been gone quite awhile."

Belle looked at Meg as she stared at the floor. She admired the natural Grecian curls of Meg's hair falling down her back. She never wore it down like that. Another figure entered the courtyard. It was Lefou. "Miss Belle, Gaston requests your presence. "

"come back inside Meg, you'll freeze out here. " Belle said, worried.

Meg stood up and followed them. As she reentered the gym someone grabbed her arm and pulled her in. "Meg were so glad we found you!"

Meg turned to see Esmerelda, Quasi, Pocahontas, Nakoma, and Kocoum. "Meg!" Esmerelda's sweet voice began, "we've been trying to find you! We need to talk to you!"

Meg's eyes widened. "About what?"

"That girl who transferred from Troy High School last year, Helen." Pocahontas said.

Meg looked at them confused. "She's been making dolly eyes to Adonis all night, you need to be careful!" Nakoma warned.

Meg's face grew hot. "Adonis would never fall for a girl like her!"

"Tell that to Helen's goo-goo eyes!" Esmerelda replied.

Meg breathed in sharply, and then let out a sigh. She turned to walk away, when Nakoma grabbed her shoulder. "Please, be careful Meg." She said.

Meg looked at her. She walked to the back of the gym where she saw Adonis talking to some girls. She looked for the girl Pocahontas had mentioned, but didn't see her.

Nearby she saw Rapunzel and Ferdinand dancing, and across the gym, Belle and Gaston. She walked out into the foyer and saw Cinderella sitting on a bench. "Cinderella!" She called.

"Meg! You look amazing!" She smiled.

"Where is John?"

"Oh! He's grabbing some drinks, he's truly wonderful!"

"Listen Cinderella, have you seen Adonis with any other girls tonight?"

"I saw him talking to that blonde girl who transferred here last year." Cinderella replied.

John returned with two cups in his hands. "Hello I don't believe we've met!"

"Save it, Blondie we had History together last year." Meg snarled.

"Did we? I don't remember you! I'm terribly sorry!"

Meg pulled her hair up in a mock ponytail. "Oh! I remember you! You're Adonis' girlfriend, correct?"

"Correct." She replied.

"Listen, John, you haven't seen that cheerleader Helen at all tonight have you?"

John handed Cinderella a cup, and she took a sip out of it. "I do believe I saw her running around here somewhere." He replied.

"Thank you," she said quietly.

As Meg walked away, John looked at Cinderella who was sipping her drink. "I've heard rumor that Helen would do anything to rid Adonis of Meg." Cinderella said quietly.

John looked at her. She shrugged. "I guess this will test their love for each other." John replied.

meg was now walking back to Adonis. "Hey babe! Where have you been?"

"Just mingling with some friends." She replied.

He put his arms around her. "We haven't danced at all tonight!"

Meg didn't want to bring up the main reason was that Adonis and Rider had gotten in a fight, and she had been intercepted by Esmerelda.

"Are you sure it's safe for you to dance?"

"Of course Meg! They said I'm good as new!"

He wrapped his arms tightly around her, yet she couldn't stop thinking about what Pocahontas and Nakoma had said.

In the distance she saw Esmerelda dancing with Quasi and Pocahontas dancing with Kocoum. Nakoma had disappeared. She looked in the other corner of the gym and saw Gaston clinging to Belle, and Belle looking unamused. She saw Rapunzel dancing with Ferdinand. At least they looked like they were enjoying themselves.

The song playing ended, and couples began to leave the floor to get drinks and air. Belle rushed to get away from Gaston on the excuse that she had to use the bathroom. She tried to find anywhere she could to hide. She ran into the girls bathroom, it was a start at least. In he bathroom, Anastasia and Drizelle were reapplying lipstick, and Lottie and Claudia were leaning against the wall. It was unusual for one of the Bimbettes to separate from the other two. " it's not fair," Lottie was crying," everyone else gets to have a Prince Charming but me!" She was hysterical

Belle looked at Lottie as she blew her nose on a kerchief and mascara ran down her cheeks. Belle sighed, cheerleaders. They always made the biggest deals out of the smallest things. Claudia was trying to comfort Lottie.

Suddenly the bathroom door burst open, and Laura entered. Now two of the three Bimbettes were in one location. "Lottie! He's here! At the dance!"

Lottie looked at Laura. "Who?"

"Naveen!" Laura said excitedly.

Lottie appeared to stop crying, and immediately began to try and clean herself up. This was too much for Belle. She would rather be back out with Gaston than listen to this.

She quickly exited the bathroom, and walked out into the courtyard. She saw Alice trying to comfort another girl. "I should have never gotten my hopes up about Peter!" The other girl cried.

Belle was about to turn away. She didn't know why girls came to dances like this if they were just going to get upset like this. She turned and walked back into the foyer, out of al the drama happening at the dance, sticking out the night with Gaston appeared to be her best option.

Just as she was about to go back into the gym floor, she saw Rapunzel. She had a tight grip on Ferdinand's hand. "Belle!" She called.

Belle watched as her friend approached her with her date. "Belle I want you to meet Ferdinand, Ferdinand meet Belle, we've been friends since we were in fifth grade."

"It's a pleasure to meet you." Ferdinand smiled.

"I've heard so much about you!" Belle replied.

"Only good things I hope!" He smiled.

They turned on their way back to the dance floor.

Belle wandered back to the dance floor herself. She was looking for Adonis when she ran into a blonde girl. "Oh hi! You must be Belle!"

"How do you know me?" She asked.

"I hear you're good friends with Meg."she replied.

Belle looked at her skeptically. "Wha-?"

"Listen, Meg has something I want. I want Adonis-"

"Mon Cherie! I've been looking for you!" Gaston bellowed over the girl.

"Oh Gaston!" Belle pretended to be head over heels for him.

The girl looked upset. Belle flashed her a twisted smile as she pretended to swoon in Gaston's arms. She had never been so happy to see him in her entire life. She grabbed Gaston's hand, and they began to dance, leaving the girl steaming.

Meg looked into Adonis' eyes. She smiled and looked at his blonde curls. He touched her curls and smiled back at her. This was the Adonis she remembered. A thousand memories passed before her eyes. She played with his tie and he smiled. It was as if they hadn't lost two months.

She saw Alice walk by with the girl she saw in the courtyard. The girl was still sniveling and they appeared to be looking for someone. Underclassman. She saw Alana with her younger sister Ariel in the distance.

Alana was wearing a sparkling purple dress and Ariel was wearing a sparkling green dress. She saw Jasmine and Aladdin approaching Alana and her sister. They conversed, but Meg wasn't close enough to hear. She noticed Alana looking at Jasmine in disgust.

"What are you looking at?" Adonis' voice rang in her ears.

"Oh! Just tree trunk and her minions at work."

"Jasmine is actually really nice if you try to get to know her!"

"That's easy for you to say! You're the star quarterback! Everyone is nice to you!"

Adonis grunted. Meg's head began to spin. She was so confused. Everyone was warning her against Adonis. They told her he was looking at other girls, but when she talked to him, he seemed like he only cared about her. He also seemed to have a shorter temper and she was upset that he had gotten into a fight with Rider.

Now Aurora had joined the scene. Aurora was in her too-cool-for-you pose. It appeared that Jasmine had called for back up. There appeared to be some sort of deal made between the girls, which Alana had not held her end of. Alana was now yelling at Aurora and Jasmine. Aladdin and Ariel stood back. They watched as the girls argued over something. Meg was now determined to find out what.

Meg looked back at Adonis. He would tell the truth, wouldn't he? "Attention ladies and gentlemen," one of the band members announced.

The band announced the final dance of the evening. "So pair up with your sweetheart, or that girl you've been meaning to ask all evening" the lead singer said smoothly.

Meg looked at Adonis. This didn't seem to even phase him. He was glancing off into the distance.

Meg looked around the gym. She saw Kocoum now dancing with Nakoma, and Esmerelda dancing with Quasi. They were trying to play it cool and stay in the corner of the gym. Belle was with Gaston, looking as though she would now rather be interrogated by the girl she ran into. Rapunzel glanced at Ferdinand with dreamy eyes as he held onto her waist. Cinderella laid her head on Johns shoulder. Meg looked at all her friends who seemed to be enjoying themselves. Then there was her. She was confused and had mixed signs coming from her own boyfriend. He had never questioned her loyalty before his coma, and she had never questioned his. He seemed so different now.

She looked at a different corner as she moved with Adonis. Jasmine was leading Aladdin. Aurora was dancing with a boy she had never seen before. She saw several cheerleaders dancing with boys she had never seen, including Helen.

She looked and saw Alice dancing with Thomas. She smiled, she was proud of Alice, as Alice was very shy. In the corner, Peter was asking Tiger Lily to dance.

She closed her eyes and let Adonis take control. She was exhausted. She knew she would have to investigate what her friends were telling her, but not tonight. She laid her head on Adonis' chest and moved with the music. It was only when the music stopped, her eyes opened and she looked around.

People were exiting the gym en mass. She bid farewell to her friends and walked out with Adonis. She wrapped her hair into its usual ponytail. Tonight, in a flurry of events, was still magical
