Friday Afternoon...

Rapunzel woke up with Flynn's arm around her and her head on his chest. She lied there feeling his chest move up and down and listening to his soft snoring. She wondered if things were going to be different between them now. She had heard about girls giving up their virginity in high school and then the boy never talks to them again. Rapunzel hoped that wouldn't be the case. But, nonetheless, Rapunzel didn't move in fear that Flynn would wake up and realize he had made a mistake.

Suddenly, Rapunzel's phone started ringing. It was so loud, that it startled her. She quickly reached over to silence it before Flynn woke up, but she was too late. As she was reaching for her phone, Flynn's arm tightened around her.

"Don't answer it," Flynn said.

"I was just trying to-"

Rapunzel was interrupted by Flynn rolling her on top of him and kissing her. There was a knock on the door and Rapunzel quickly jumped up. Flynn groaned and rolled over. Rapunzel was about to open the door when she realized she was still wearing the chemise. She slipped on her robe, then answered the door.

"Good afternoon!" Esmeralda greeted.

"Afternoon?" Rapunzel glanced at the clock on the nightstand; it was one o'clock. "I didn't realize it was that late."

Esmeralda shrugged and let herself in. "How was your night?"

Rapunzel blushed. "It was fun."

Esmeralda smiled at her. "I knew it would be."

"Rapunzel wasn't sick," Flynn muttered, half asleep.

Esmeralda shook her head, ignoring his sleepy comment. "Anyways, I came up here to let you know that Phoebus wants to leave at three o'clock."

"We'll be ready," Rapunzel said.

Esmeralda nodded and closed the door behind her when she left. As she made her way downstairs, she saw the boys were in the living room playing the same video game they had been playing the night before. She wandered outside and found Jasmine sitting on the back porch swing. She had her legs curled up under her, with a glass of strawberry banana V8 Fusion Juice in one hand and she was holding a book open on her lap with the other. She greeted Esmeralda with a smile, then continued reading. Esmeralda decided to leave Jasmine to her book and went back inside. She found Mulan in the kitchen, cleaning out the refrigerator.

"Need any help?" Esmeralda asked.

"I'm actually just about done," Mulan said. "But, thanks anyway."

Esmeralda hesitated for a moment while Mulan continued to clean the refrigerator.

"I really do love Phoebus," Esmeralda said.

"So you've said," Mulan muttered, not looking at Esmeralda.

"Why do you hate me all of a sudden?" Esmeralda asked.

Mulan stood up and faced Esmeralda. "I don't hate you."

"Then why are you acting like this towards me?"

"Phoebus has had his heart broken too many times, Esmeralda," Mulan said. "And, as his best friend, it's my responsibility to look out for him."

"I'm not going to break his heart," Esmeralda stated.

"You've already hurt him twice. You're a heart break waiting to happen," Mulan said.

Esmeralda shook her head. "You're wrong."

Mulan raised an eyebrow. "Am I? Esmeralda, you forgot you slept with him and you kissed another guy in front of him. I know you're not sleeping together and it's only a matter of time before you stray."

Mulan started to walk out of the kitchen, but Esmeralda blocked her path.

"I want you to listen to me, and listen to me good," Esmeralda demanded. "I am not the sex-crazed slut everyone makes me out to be. I love Phoebus more than I have ever loved anyone and I would never even think about cheating on him. He's the best thing that has ever happened to me; I'm not going to ruin this. And I know he loves me, too. So, just stop trying to shove a wedge between us."

Mulan smiled and shook her head. "I underestimated you, Esmeralda."

Esmeralda nodded, but didn't say anything.

"I hope you prove me wrong because, you're right, Phoebus does love you," Mulan said.

Mulan walked out of the kitchen and Esmeralda sat down at the table. Someone cleared their throat and Esmeralda turned around to see Phoebus leaning against the door frame.

"I heard that," Phoebus said.

"Heard what?"

"You yelling at Mulan."

"I wasn't... yelling at her," Esmeralda said. "I was just trying to get my point across. She thinks it's only a matter of time until I cheat on you."

"Yeah, everyone thinks that," Phoebus said.

Esmeralda sighed in frustration. "Do you think that?"

"I consider kissing cheating, Esmeralda, so you already did cheat on me," Phoebus said.

"It wasn't that kind of kiss," Esmeralda said.

"I know, that's why I let it slide... this time," Phoebus said.

"I promise it won't happen again."

"I know it won't," Phoebus said.

The alarm on Jasmine's phone went off, signaling there was only a half an hour until it was time to leave. She closed her book and headed inside. Aladdin was hurrying around the bedroom, cramming all of his stuff into his bag.

"I told you to pack last night," Jasmine said.

"I know."

Jasmine picked up a couple of his t-shirts and folded them. Aladdin grabbed the shirts from Jasmine and shoved them into the bag.

Jasmine laughed. "Slow down, baby, we still have a half an hour. And I promise we won't leave without you."

Aladdin sat down on the bed and Jasmine joined him.

"I don't want to go back home," Aladdin said.

"I don't think any of us do. No one wants to go back to school on Monday," Jasmine said.

Aladdin shook his head. "No, I don't want to go back home ever."

"Why is that?" Jasmine asked.

"My dad just called me," Aladdin said. "He got a permanent position in New York and I have to move out there with him at the end of the school year."

"What? No! Aladdin, you can't move!"

"I don't want to, but it isn't up to me. I have to go," Aladdin said, quietly.

No! No! No! Jasmine gripped the sheets. She couldn't lose Aladdin...
