Toony-Tornado: Thanks for your concern! But I'm trying my best to crank out as many as I can. I want to be able to give you guys new content after these edited chapters soon. And yea, Jenna had a tendency to be spunky which was always a lot of fun to read in her stories. X3 I'm honestly shocked (and glad) that you like Yvette's character so much! I plan on developing her character further and make her more than just a mischievous grouch. So stayed tuned for more Yvette shenanigans!

BlackWolfStar15: I liked writing that weapons' scene, too. And giving Evangeline that logical twist just seemed to make since to me. ^^'

I feel weightless in the light. I look to my left and right. I'm not able to see the girls nor feel their hands. All I can feel was a tingling feeling. The tiny humming noise can be heard again, like the one I heard when Rose had arrived.

I start to see blurs of color. The colors form shapes, which then form the sky and buildings in the horizon. I can feel hands grasp mine again and my weightlessness starts to deplete as we all land on an empty street.

Too bad it isn't as smooth of a landing as we'd want it to be. We feel so discombobulated from the trip over that our legs are like Jell-O, and we all fall to the ground in ouches and oofs.

I can still feel the humming sound ringing in my ears. Eventually, it fades until I can hear the ringing of trolleys and murmurs happening down the road.

We get up slowly and look to the city around us.

"So," Lulu says. "This is New Orleans."

"Yeah. In Disney animation, too," adds Kayla.

Something doesn't sit right with me, though. Wasn't I wearing jeans? I look down.

Oh. I guess Ray felt the need to accommodate us with proper olden days attire.

Rose shouts, "Hey! Our clothes!"

Yvette cringes at the sight of her dress. "Pink is not my color."

Lulu notices and shrugs. "That's lucky. At least we don't have to do that 'other-world-explanation' bullcrap."

Victoria laughs. "Yeah. That's always the tedious part."

Alicia panics a little. "Guys, where are my glasses! I need them!" I look around on the ground and found them behind me. I pick them up and give them to her. "Here you go."

She breathes a sigh of relief. "Thanks. Now I can think."

Kayla says, overly excited, "Let's go, guys, let's go! I'm so excited!" She starts to run but Alicia grabs her by the collar and says, "Wait, Eager McBeaver. We need to set up some rules."

Kayla whines, "Rules?"

Lulu declares with her finger in the air, "There are no rules in Disney. Only very attractive men. And one by the name of Facilier is calling our names. And by 'our names', I mean mine."

Victoria cuts in, "Alicia's right. We're supposed to be heroes. As heroes, we need rules."

Alicia nods, "First rule is to stay together. Unless we need to split up, we have to be on the look-out for each other so that we don't get lost."

I add, "It is a pretty big city." And tends to be crowded.

Yvette grumbles while looking at her nails, "Alright, fearless leader. So, what's our second rule?"

"Well, we…uh…huh." Alicia scratches her head. "What do we do now?"

"Hey, look!" We turn to see Victoria point at a familiar place. "It's Dr. Facilier's shop! We should head in there!"

"Yes, let's," said Yvette. "The sooner we get this done, the sooner I can nap."

Rose interjected. "Now, hold on. Why don't we look around the city first? Maybe meet more people? This is a once in a lifetime opportunity!"

Alicia shakes her head. "No, absolutely not. We need to do out jobs and find Jenna."

Rose's face falls a little. "Alicia, I know you want to see her, but think about this. Jenna wouldn't want us to miss out on all these worlds have to offer. If she were here with us, she'd want us to experience as much as we can. Wouldn't you give her that chance?"

Alicia fell silent. Her eyes glossed over with a sadness I can't even describe. She was the closest to her out of all of us. She finally nodded. "Okay. But just for a couple hours."

Rose beams and cuddles Dawn close in excitement.

I couldn't help but smile, too. "So," I said. "Where do begin?"

Alicia thinks for a moment. "You know what? Let's just continue on and see what pops up," Alicia concluded.

We finally enter the busy streets of New Orleans. The city is crawling with businessmen and fashionable women. Jazz music filled up the air along with laughter and gossip. We smile at the constant festivities going on throughout the day. Except for Rose, who's having a bit of trouble with some guys dressed up as clowns. Given Rose's fear of clowns, I don't exactly hold her bluntness against her.

"Hi there, pretty lady!" One of the portly ones says taking a hold of her hand.

"Uh…please don't touch me," Rose says, wide-eyed. She steps back.

"That's a nice little kitty you got there." He was about to pet it, but Dawn bites his finger, causing him to pull both his hands back. "Yow!"

Rose smiles and gives Dawn a pat on the head. "Good kitty." Dawn sticks her tongue out at the confused clown, and we wait for them to both catch up with us.

"Does anybody know where we're going?" Yvette asks. "We've been wandering around for half an hour."

Alicia calls back to her, "We're just exploring until we decide to head back to Facilier's workshop."

Lulu chirps up, "I can't wait to meet this guy! Maybe he can hook us up with some potions or something."

Kayla asks, "Wouldn't that stuff be expensive?"

I answer, "I'd say maybe a ten-bucks-to-a-soul kind of price range would be appropriate for a witch doctor."

"Oh my gosh! Tiana's Place!" Kayla points to a large restaurant with the name of which she spoke out. "Looks go in! I want to meet Tiana! It'd be my first time meeting a Disney princess!"

I would be lying if I say that I'm not excited, too. Though, I'd prefer to be seeing Facilier. He'd be a lot more fun to meet. Nevertheless, all of our stomach simultaneously growl at the smell of cooked meat.

Victoria looks at Alicia. "Why not? We are pretty hungry."

"What about Dawn? I don't know if pets are allowed inside and I don't want to leave her alone out here."

"It's okay, Rose," I say. "They allow Louis inside and he's an alligator. I'm sure they'll overlook this."

Alicia thinks about and says, "Alright. We eat food, meet Tiana, and be back out in thirty minutes." We nod and head inside.

A hostess leads us to a table and tells us that a waiter is on the way. We take our seats and look at our menus. Surprisingly, a Disney restaurant feels no different from a real world… excuse me, our world's…restaurant. I don't think I can use the term 'real world' anymore. After all, the sights of the décor and lights, the sounds of conversation, the smells of various foods…it's all real. This is happening to us.

A young boy in a tuxedo is the next to greet us. "Hello ladies. My name is Dean and I will be serving you tonight. What can I get you?"

Kayla says, "I want the gumbo! With a giant soda!"

Alicia looks at Kayla and puts down the menu. "I'll have the same."

I look up at the waiter and say, "Me too. But I'll have a sweet tea, please."

Lulu asks, "How are your po' boys?"

The waiter smiles. "Absolutely delicious!"

Yvette scoffs as she looks through her choices. "It's not his job to lie to you, y'know." Dean gets nervous. "It's not that! I actually tried them!"

"Whatever. I'll just have some green tea and a small loaf of bread with butter."

Lulu scowls at Yvette. "Can I order now?" Yvette doesn't say anything back. Lulu continues, smiling at Dean. "I'll go off your recommendation."

Dean smiles back and takes the order. He turns to Victoria. "What about you, miss?"

Victoria looks at Dean then back at her menu. "I'm not sure. I can't decide between the muffulettas and the jambalaya."

Dean says, "I think the jambalaya is more filling."

"Then I'll have that with a soda, please."

Rose orders last, patting her tiny panther on the head. "Me and my little friend would love some po' boys. I'll have iced tea and she'll have a bowl of water."

He takes up our menus and tells us our food will arrive soon. "Is there anything else you need?"

Kayla chirps, "Yeah! May we see the owner?"

Dean becomes nervous again. "Why, is there something wrong?"

Victoria tells him, "It's okay. She's just heard of her success story and would love to meet her in person."

The waiter's face falls to a relieved expression. "Okay then. I'll get her for you."

He leaves and we all sit in silence for a while, taking the Disney dining experience in. Soon, Victoria and Alicia start to talk to each other from across me. Kayla attempts to pet Dawn again, but has failed with another close shave of being bitten. The cat meows. "I can't help it!" Kayla cries. "It's your fault you're so gosh-darn cute!" Yvette simply drums her fingers on the table with no interest on her face. Does she not feel the same magical experience we feel? What could be the problem?

As with any group outings (the little I go to, anyway), I remain silent for a while. That is until Lulu spoke to me. "Amazing, huh?"

I grin. "Yeah. I can't believe we're not dreaming."

Lulu looks away from me. "Start believing because here she comes!"

Sure enough, Tiana, an actual Disney princess, is walking toward us with a platter of food in each hand. I can't tell which is more surreal. A Disney princess in the flesh or a Disney princess serving us food.

"Hey ya'll!" She hands us our food with a bright smile. She points to Kayla. "Dean told me that this little lady wanted to see me?"

Kayla squeals. "Yes! Hi! I'm Kayla. It's so nice to meet you!"

Tiana shakes her hand. "Aww, well thanks, sugar."

"How are you and Prince Naveen?"

"We're doing quite alright," Tiana says. "Are you girls enjoying your evening tonight?"

Lulu nods as she begins to eat. "Just fine, thank you."

Alicia asks her, "You wouldn't happen to know if Dr. Facilier's shop is still in business, would you?"

Tiana's face becomes concerned. "Now what on earth would you want to go there for?"

Alicia explains, "We're tourists and we want to see everything there is to see here. Well, ever since he came back from the dead, by some twisted grace from God, he's still been taking customers. I got to warn ya'll though. Dr. Facilier's a shadow man, and he'll brew you up trouble if you make any sort of deal with him."

Victoria tells her, "Don't worry. We're too smart for him."

Tiana holds the trays. "I sure hope so. If ya'll need anything else, just let me know." She walks away to help another table.

Kayla sighs. "She shook my hand. A princess actually shook my hand."

"Alright guys. We've met Tiana and have our food. Let's eat and go," Alicia instructs.

I nod and start eating my food.

"Hannah?" I look up. Kayla asks, "Can you pass the Tabasco?" I give the bottle to her and she pours a couple of drops into her gumbo, then passes the bottle to Victoria upon her request for it. I see Rose feeding some pieces of her food to Dawn and smile. They're so cute together, like a mother and daughter. Yvette's only interest is in her bread and butter. Alicia is quiet as well, probably thinking out a plan. I hear Lulu sucking through her straw loudly trying to get the last of her drink. We look at each other and giggle. I feel warmth in my heart. I've never really have gone out with friends like this, not very often anyway. It's a nice change for me. So far, things have been pretty sweet.
