Hey, hey, hey! Sorry it's been so long! I've had some...pest...problems, if you could even call it that...

Jess: Was that an insult?

Amanda: I think it was an insult...

Willa: Since when are we pests to you?

Charlene: Yeah, I thought you liked us!

Me: Whoa, whoa, whoaaaa...Guys, chill out...I wasn't talking about you...I was talking about them. *points to the left*

Philby: Us?

Maybeck: Okay...You've officially gone mad! How have we been-

Me: Not you Maybeck! Move to the right...a little more...little more...there!

Finn: *looks to the right...then at me like I'm crazy* Textbooks? Why would you have been reading those things again?

Willa: Uh-oh...It's that time of year again, isn't it?

Me: *nods* Yes...It is...Midterms...the worst things to ever appear on this planet.

Maybeck: Yeah, right next to Taylor Swift and One Direction!

Me: Taylor Swift wasn't a mistake...She's okay...I mean, she didn't do anything to you...And 1D? Not my favorite, but I'll listen. Stop criticizing, Maybeck!

Enjoy...

"Those brats have, once again, escaped...alive. And it's all because of you." The "Mistress of Evil" said pointing her staff into the chest of Captain Hook.

"I-I'm sorry!" The force of the staff caused Hook to fall over. "I-I didn't know theys would make it!"

"You had the chance to kill them." Maleficent said walking closer to Hook. "Why didn't you?"

"One of em sc-scared me..."

"Which one?"

"The boy!"

"Which boy, you fool?!"

"The-the one with the brown hair! And g-green eyes!"

"Mr. Whitman." Maleficent said to herself. "Of course. Who else would it have been? He's always-"

"Your Majesty!"

"Prince Hans." Maleficent said turning to face the newest addition to the Overtaker alliance: Prince Hans of the Southern Isles from Disney's newest animated film: Frozen.

"They're here, your Majesty."

"Who's here?"

"The kids."

Maleficent turned to face Hans and smiled evilly. "Perfect."

"Shall I send out the troops?"

"Send out the troops." Maleficent cackled.

...

"Maybeck, come on!" Charlene pulled on Maybeck's right hand. "Get up!"

"Go away, Char." He moaned.

"You can sleep all day. Now's not the time."

Maybeck groaned and got up reluctantly. "If it makes you happy, Charlie, I'll do it."

Charlene smiled, content, and kissed her boyfriend on the cheek. "Thank you."

"Yeah, yeah..." Maybeck said grabbing Charlene's hand and walking in the direction of the apartment. When they reached the apartment though, they noticed something...off about the place.

"That's strange." Charlene said. "Why's the door open?"

"Maybe the others are here?"

"Yeah...Let's go with that." Charlene said taking at tentative step toward the open door. She hovered her hand over the doorknob, deciding whether or not she should push it open.

"Charlene, wait." Maybeck grabbed her shoulder, stopping her from moving. "Let me go first."

Charlene turned to look at him. "Why?"

"Because, as your boyfriend, it's my job to protect you and keep you safe as long as we're together. And if the others aren't in there, I don't want anything to happen to you."

"You'd do that? For me?"

Maybeck nodded. "Anything. Now let me go in." Charlene stepped out the way and let Maybeck go first. That's when she started to worry. She didn't want to lose him anytime soon. Especially in Disney World. At night. When they were alone. In Magic Kingdom.

"Maybeck...I'm coming in with you."

"Are you sure?" He turned to look at her, concern covering his face.

"Positive. I'm not going to lose you tonight. And if we die, we die together." Maybeck grabbed her hand and they walked in together. "That's strange." Charlene said as they walked in. "The lights are off."

"Hello?" Maybeck called. "Anybody here?" No answer.

"Wills? Jess?" Charlene called. "Amanda?" No answer. She let go of Maybeck's hand and walked in the direction of the hallway.

"What's going on h-"

"Maybeck!"

Maybeck found Charlene in Wayne's bedroom. The window was open and a light breeze was blowing in causing the curtains to flow. "What's wrong?"

Charlene motioned, hastily, for him to come over to where she was. "Just...come see..."

"What's the-oh...my...god." The two teens were staring down at what appeared to be a warning written with broken glass and...blood.

They're gone. Your time is running out before they're REALLY gone. If you wish to save your friends, look for the place where the rum is plentiful and the fights unbearable.
-M

"What?" Charlene said puzzled. "Why is everything always in riddles?!"

"We have to go to Pirates..."

"How do you know that? It's a riddle! You can't figure riddles out like this that fast, Maybeck! You're just guessing! We have to think this-"

"CHAR!" Maybeck grabbed Charlene by the shoulders and shook her. "Calm down. Read it again."

"I don't want to look at it...Too much blood..."

"Look, it says, 'look for the place where the rum is plentiful and the fights unbearable.' What're some rides involving rum?"

"...Pirates of the Caribbean...But-"

"Sh...That's where we'll start, okay?"

Charlene nodded. "Yeah..."

"Okay...Let's go then."

...

Amanda slowly opened her eyes the moment it touched her face. Cold. Watery. Something that must be rarely seen in Orlando.

"What the...?" She slowly sat up, taking in her surroundings. "Why is it so cold in here?" She asked herself aloud crossing her arms over her chest for warmth. "And what is this-" She gasped, "Snow?"

She jumped to her feet, completely ignoring the pain that shot through her right leg. She found Finn leaning against a wall. He looked bloody, bruised, and beaten. He was holding his stomach and looked like he'd been crying.

"Finn?" Amanda shook him. "Finn." When he didn't wake up, that's when Amanda actually noticed Finn's state; and that's when she started freaking out. "Finn? Finn, please. Finn, wake up." She couldn't tell if he was breathing or not; which cause her to freak out even more. She took the hand that was covering his stomach and moved it out of the way. "Oh my gosh..." His shirt was torn all over and a giant gash went from the top of his chest to the bottom of his stomach. She placed her hand on his stomach which, to her relief, moved up and down.

By this time, the snow had started falling faster and harder. Amanda shivered and went back to shaking Finn awake. He woke with a jolt, gaping, and grabbed onto Amanda. "Amanda...Are you okay?"

"Yeah...Yeah, I'm fine. Are you?"

"In a way..." He gave a small laugh, but ended up groaning in pain. "I'm better in more ways than others...Hey, is it...snowing?" Amanda looked at him and laughed. "What? It's not? Is this a sign of death coming upon me? Am I hallucinating?"

"No, Finn...It's snowing. But I don't know why."

"Well, either this is Maleficent's plan to kill us," Amanda cut him off with a curious look.

"Huh?"

"Maleficent trapped us, remember?"

"Right...You were saying?"

"I was saying that either Maleficent is trying to freeze us to death, or this is a sign."

"What kind of sign?"

"That help is near."

"How could snow be a sign that-"

"Hello?" A voice called; Amanda and Finn shared a look. "Is anybody here?"

"Who's there?" Finn asked.

The voice got closer, and Amanda and Finn realized that there were three people coming towards them along with two others they couldn't make out. "We're here to help."

"Who are you?" Amanda asked as they got even closer.

One of the people stepped into the little light there was. "Queen Elsa of Arendelle. And you are...?"

"Amanda."

"Finn. Who are they?" He said pointing to the two other people behind Elsa.

"Princess Anna of Arendelle." One of the two said stepping up next to Elsa and curtseying.

"Kristoff..." The third said stepping up next to Anna and giving a sarcastic wave.

Anna elbowed Kristoff in the stomach. "Use your title." She whispered. "And be respectful."

"Right, right...my bad...Prince Kristoff of Arendelle."

"Are you really...them?" Amanda asked walking up to the three.

Anna nodded. "The only ones!"

Amanda didn't know why, but she felt like she couldn't breathe. Sure, she'd taken ballroom lessons from Cinderella. Sure, she'd trained for combat with Mulan and Merida. Yeah, she'd played around with frying pans with Rapunzel and combed her hair with a dinglehopper with Ariel, but she never imagined herself face-to-face with Elsa or Anna...or Kristoff for that matter.

"Is there a problem with that?" Elsa asked.

"Uh...n-no! I just...I don't know...It's just that...You guys are so..." She couldn't find the right words to say.

"Different?" Elsa said.

"Special?" Anna said.

"Yes but...in a good way...Sorry..." Amanda shook her head. "I bet I made this awkward...I'm just going to shut up and sit down..." She sat next to Finn.

"Hey, wait a minute." Anna said. "You're Amanda Lockhart."

Amanda nodded. "Yeah."

"She told us that already." Kristoff said.

Elsa continued, "Aren't you one of those fairlies?"

"Yep. Levitation. Woo-hoo." She said sarcastically pumping her fist in the air.

"Why all the sarcasm?" Anna asked.

"I don't know...Sometimes I feel like it's no "power"...just a curse."

"Amanda, that's how I felt." Elsa said kneeling next to Amanda. "But thanks to Anna, I know I can use my powers for good. It could be categorized as a curse, sure. But in the end, is it really?"

"I guess not..."

"You see?"

Amanda nodded slowly. "Yeah, I guess...Thanks, Elsa..."

"Any time." Elsa smiled. "Now, let's go. We have some people to find."

"Wait a minute." Finn said. "Weren't there two others here with you?"

"Oh, yeah!" Anna said. "Finn, Amanda, this is Olaf and Sv-huh?" Anna turned around to motion to the two, but there was nobody there. "That's strange."

"They were with us when we got here, weren't they?" Elsa asked.

"I believe so. But where are they?" Anna's words were followed by a high-pitched scream.

"BEAR! IT'S A BEAR! MAKE IT GO AWAY!"

"Found them..." Kristoff said laughing slightly.

"I know that scream..." Amanda said to Finn.

"Who could that be?" Elsa asked. "I'm pretty sure we were alone on our way here."

"Who?" Finn asked.

"It's Charlene."

"Who?" Anna asked.

"Our friend Charlene. That was her."

"Amanda? Finn? Are you guys he-Oh, hello..." Charlene said upon seeing Anna, Elsa, and Kristoff.

"Charlie? Where'd you-Why, hello ladies..." Maybeck said giving his best flirtatious smile.

"Um...Hi..." Anna said giving a slight smile.

"Hello..." Elsa said.

Charlene wacked him in the side. "Can you please save the flirting for when your girlfriend's not around? Thanks. And be respectful! You're in the presents of royalty!"

"Right...right...Your Majesties..." Maybeck bowed.

"Don't be ridiculous." Elsa said waving a dismissive hand in Maybeck's direction. "You don't have to do that." Kristoff started laughing.

"What?" Anna asked him. "What's so funny?"

"Her." He said pointing to Charlene still laughing.

"What? Why am I funny? What'd I do?"

"You called Sven a bear." He said petting the giant reindeer. "He's obviously a reindeer."

Charlene blushed. "Yeah...obviously...Heh..."

"It's okay, Char...You get scared a little easily...It's okay. We all have our flaws." He said putting an arm around her shoulders. "It's okay to get a little jumpy every once and a while, but come on, a reindeer? You got scared of a reindeer? That's just-"

"Hi. I'm Olaf, and I like warm hugs!" Maybeck let out a high-pitched scream, much like Charlene's, and jumped behind his girlfriend.

"Ha!...'You got scared of a reindeer?' Yeah, says the one who hid behind me because of a snowman."

"He came out of nowhere, okay?!"

"Right...And the giant reindeer didn't?"

He didn't say anything right away. "It doesn't matter...And, by the way, he's made of snow! Something we, like, never see here!"

"So you're scared of snow..." Charlene said slowly, putting emphasis on 'snow'.

Anna giggled. "Then you don't want to live with us...Elsa here is in love with the stuff!" Elsa shot Anna a glare. "What?"

"We should get going. We have to find the others."

"Yeah, let's go." Kristoff said.

"You're not going anywhere." Someone said.

Anna spun around. "Hans..."

"Anna! What a pleasure to see you again!" He said. You could hear the sarcasm dripping in his voice.

"I thought you were gone." Elsa said.

"Heh...Far from it Queenie." He took something that looked like a smaller version of the scare canisters from Monster's Inc. "I wish I could stay, but it looks like I'm headed to Tomorrowland. And I'm afraid you won't be joining me." He laughed evilly and threw the canister at the seven. It started spraying some type of thick fog, and soon all seven were unconscious.

There it is! The lickity-split! Hope you liked it! Please review! I love reading them, and I hope you all enjoy the rest of your week!
