Merida's phone was ringing.

"Answer it!" Meg complained.

The Scottish girl looked at the screen. "I can't, 'tis my mum!" she protested, choosing to ignore the call.

Five seconds later it rang again.

"Silent. Now." Meg seethed. "We are trying to work on clearing Elsa's name, and your phone is just there, and-"

"OK."

Bzzzzz. Bzzzzz. Bzzzzz.

"Oh just pick it up!" Esme huffed.

"Fine." the Scot sulked, putting the phone to her ear. Then the yelling started.

"Why did we tell other people about this place?" Rapunzel whined.

"I see your point." Meg deadpanned.

"The first court case is tomorrow… right? Right?" Esme asked, entering. Meg and Anna nodded. The gypsy continued, trying to ignore Merida and her mother's fierce arguing.

"I have had the craziest couple of weeks, with all these lawyers and law things and loophole shit." Meg sighed, rubbing her forehead. "For the rest of the semester, I'm gonna do nothing! None of the things! No matter what problem someone has, I will do nothing!" she proclaimed loudly.

"Yep. After all that bullcrap, we might actually be cleared."

"There will be a celebration dinner with everyone if this goes well, at the Crackle. I still have that Kristoff guy's number from that night we spent in the truck. If it doesn't go well, we can have a consolation dinner at the Crackle." Anna decided in glee, tapping at her white tablet.

"We will win." Esme said resolutely. "I'm not gonna have that Hans be able to screw over two of my friends."

"We're friends?" Anna asked, both incredulously and joyously. "Yay!"

"Here it is. The big day." Meg commented, as she drove Anna, Elsa and Ling to the court. Why Elsa couldn't drive, Meg didn't know, but… whatever. Elsa was up front, while Anna was stuck with the deeply irritating Ling at the back. Ah well. He had the decency to not hit on Anna, in lieu of her Hans trauma (the whole story was known to him), but when they had put him at the front, he seemed to think that Meg was free game. Meg had stopped the car and refused to drive unless someone else came in front.

A car swerved in front of them. "Hey!" Meg bellowed out of the window. "Asshole!"

The person in it gave them the finger and zoomed off.

Finally they pulled up. Anna waved and walked in with Elsa. Meg waited in the car for a bit, crossing her fingers.

And guess who would be walking past, but Hercules Strongman. It was all the Greek girl could do to not repeatedly slam her head into the dashboard. "Hey, Megara!" he called cheerfully, striding up to her car. "What brings you to the court?"

"Anna's court case." Meg answered. "I'll be here a while. Everyone else was 'busy', and I was planning on being busy too."

"Well, good on you, Megara." he praised. "It's really nice, what you're doing for her. Would you like to get breakfast or something?"

"It's… 9.30 and I haven't eaten anything." Meg groaned. "But it's not like I'm hungry."

"Come on." he urged. "Please… I'm lonely too." He fake-pouted, and Meg had to admit it was sort of adorable.

"Fine." Meg got out of the car, slamming the door. "I will go get food with you."

"Yesss!" Hercules pumped his fist in the air. "Thanks a lot, I owe you one. Tell you what, I'll pay."

"What a gentleman." Meg commented. "You really are Wonderboy."

Meg and Hercules were back in the car. She had walked around town for hours, and despite being broke, bought a pair of lousy earrings, and now she was bored. What a waste of her free morning… and she had class soon! Jeez! Also, even more annoyingly, Wonderboy had decided to accompany her everywhere. He was 'bored', apparently. Couldn't he just clear off and go hang with the rest of the asshole jocks around the college?

"Where are they?" Meg whined.

"Patience." Hercules gently placed a hand on her shoulder. Meg slapped his hand away.

"Do that again and I'll kick you in the balls." she hissed.

"Sorry." Hercules bit his lip and looked out of the window. "Hey, they're here!" he called.

Indeed they were.

"We won!" Anna cheered, pumping her fist in the air. "Elsa's made a good case and Hans and his thugs are fast losing credibility." The Swedish girl paused and scrutinised the extra person in the car. "Ooh, Meg went on a date!"

"I bought food with him- well, he bought it for me." Meg corrected.

"Esme was so right about this- Elsa, I'm excited, I'm excited, I'm sooooo excited."

"Shh. My car." Meg snapped.

"How do you afford this?" Meg yelled, as everyone crowded into the restaurant. Anna and Elsa had brought Meg, Esme, Shang, Mulan, Ling, Milo, Kida, Merida, Hercules, Quasi, Rapunzel and Kristoff. Cinderella had been invited as well, but it was her and Henry's 'date night' and apparently he complained so much about her missing it that she gave up and went with him instead. After ranting to an understanding Esmeralda, as well as a confused Quasi and Rapunzel, for ages.

"Arendelle!" Elsa called to the fancy-as-[beep] dressed maitre d'.

"Right this way." the man said in an incredibly posh accent. Meg fidgeted awkwardly and pulled the hem of her blue printed dress down- why did she think it was a good idea to wear a minidress to a fancy restaurant? Kida was having similar issues with a short red number.

"Check Milo." Mulan whispered, as they followed the guy to a… private room? Knowing rich people had its perks! "Kida may be having a problem with her dress, but I think he doesn't…"

"He's pretending." Merida snickered.

"I wish I had a man." Esmeralda sighed dolefully. "My man, to be clear. I'm not just gonna go pull that maitre d!"

"Try Ling." Meg mocked.

"Shut up!" Esme retorted.

"No, try that guy!" Merida pointed to a handsome Japanese man sitting with a bunch of other people.

"Tadashi? Why would I pull Tadashi? He's a friend- that reminds me, hey Tadashi! Honey, hi! Gogo, how's the robotics going? Hey, haven't seen you in ages, Wasabi! Yo, Fred!" she called at the group. They all answered as one would.

"She knows everyone." Merida commented.

Meg just nodded as the other diners started giving them glares.

"Oops." Mulan smirked, as everyone tried to hide giggles.

Meg was alone. Elsa and Merida were animatedly discussing the worries of an heiress in an important family and Rapunzel and Quasi were discussing something they saw on Pinterest, their latest real-world discovery. Kida and Milo were heavily flirting, as were Mulan and Shang. Anna and Kristoff were shyly flirting, and Esmeralda and Ling were exchanging friendly banter with each other, mostly based on Esmeralda masquerading as his girlfriend that time in the hospital.

When Ling left to use the bathroom shortly before dessert, Meg voiced her thoughts to Esmeralda. "I'm aloooone!" she complained.

"Talk to Hercules then!" she hissed, pointing at the empty chair next to the Greek girl- Hercules had dropped his wallet and was desperately trying to find it. "Why do you think I've been talking to that prat Ling all night? So that there can be two… you see where I'm going with this!"

"I have no interest in Hercules!" Meg countered with enormous dignity.

Esmeralda snorted. "Yeah right, and Milo's strong, Merida's a pushover, Rapunzel's cynical and you're not sarcastic."

Meg glared.

Esme and Meg were walking along the guy's floor, over to the next staircase, while avoiding a drunk Anna, who Cindy was taking care of after a huge argument with Henry. They were now 'taking a break'… anyway the thing was, something was wrong with their usual staircase, which was right near the dorm entrance. Someone had said it had collapsed slightly or something stupid like that.

Suddenly, Meg crashed right into someone- a guy- who caught her immediately by the waist- and didn't let go. "Well, hello." he greeted. "I am Edward Marsden and- ooooh!" Meg had elbowed him in the stomach. He was so lucky it wasn't his balls. Esme stood there and shook her head.

"Edward-" There was a distinctly female gasp. "Edward- you were supposed to call me, and now I find you hitting on my friend! We are done!"

"You sleaze!" Meg screamed, wriggling herself free. "And Giselle." she added quickly. "Just because we did one group project freshman year with Eric doesn't make us friends."

The light-ginger haired girl pouted. "Oh. Sorry." And she stood there, blinking. Edward attempted to leave, but Meg grabbed his collar. "You are not going anywhere."

"Is this man bothering you?" Mulan arrived, as if on cue.

"GRAB THE COLLAR!" Meg ordered. Mulan shrugged and grabbed the guy's red shirt, but gave the Greek girl a questioning look. Meg indicated the slightly upset Giselle and moved her hand around. "Revenge, please."

"One 'PULL' coming up! Call Merida and Kida." Mulan shouted as she dragged at Edward. Meg caught the Chinese girl's risky throw of her phone and dialled the correct numbers. "Esme, take her back to her room." Mulan gestured to that staircase. "You're good at comforting. Find Cindy… Anna should be fine..."

"I'm fine." Giselle insisted, smiling placidly.

"But… sweetie, you two have been together since high school. Shouldn't you be like… really cut up?" Esmeralda asked.

Giselle blinked. "I don't have a lot of feelings."

Merida and Kida practically slid onto the scene. "I got the ropes and ev'rythin!" Merida called, waving the said objects around.

Giselle's mouth opened in alarm. "Ohhhh, no… what are you doing?"

Merida cracked the rope against the floor and smiled a shark smile that Megara Sarkis herself would have been proud of.

Edward was so dead.

Late on a Thursday night around the middle of November, a certain Edward Marsden was lifted onto a flagpole by three vengeful girls, one redheaded, one Chinese and the other dark-skinned and white-haired. Accompanying them was a brunette in a short blue printed dress, a gypsy wearing a green dress and a light ginger-haired girl in pink. Several others had come to watch this, and many people hung out of windows and put their lives at risk to see it. Really…? But to be honest, Ms. Gothel didn't really care that much.
