The two princesses continued to take Barbary through the woods to the entrance of the 'World of Disney'. Barbary looked around, taking a look around the scenery; it was rather beautiful, with autumn leaves falling along the ground. He then looked down to see the leaves on the ground, raising his feet, before he gently kicked the leaves. He saw the leaves flying upwards before floating downwards. He giggled before he moved his foot through the ground, making the leaves moved upwards, he smiled some more. "Wow. You girls see this? Did you see what I did?" he asked cheerfully. Ariel and Rapunzel looked at him and smiled at him, happy to see such a beautiful sight.

"I know. You know how these leaves end up like this?" asked Ariel. Barbary shook his head. "No." he replied. Ariel smiled. "This happens every fall, when the trees prepare to go into hibernation for the winter." She explained. Barbary looked at her in astonishment.

"How do you know this, Ariel?" he asked. Ariel smiled back at him. "From a really close friend of mine, Belle." She replied. "Oh." Barbary said. Ariel giggled. "We're almost there, sweetie. You'll meet her" She assured him.

Then, Barbary thought of something. "Um, is this, 'World of Disney' easy to find?" he asked Rapunzel. Rapunzel looked at him, and shook her head.

"Well, no. You won't find it by looking for it. Walt Disney himself hid its entrances extremely well, and various fans have searched their whole lives and have never stumbled upon them." She explained to him. Barbary was intrigued.

"Wow. Really?" he asked. Rapunzel nodded. "That's right. The only, the ONLY, way to find this world…is if you're taken there. Like right now." She finished. And just in time as well for they have arrived at a clearing in the middle of the forest.

The clearing has a large oak tree in the center, with long branches on top of the tree, many of them hanging downwards. The trunk is very large, but appears to be very hard, with a large, lighter spot the size and shape of a door on the front. Ariel and Rapunzel smiled at the sight, but Barbary looked on in shock. "Uh…it's a tree." He said to them.

Ariel looked down with a smirk. "That's why it's so well hidden." She said as she moved on ahead towards the tree. Rapunzel and Barbary looked at each other, the former smiling, and the latter looking at her confused.

"Looks can be deceiving, Barbary." She lectured, ruffling his hair gently, making Barbary pout at her, and he stuck his tongue at her, making her smirk at him and giggle at the same time.

Ariel walked over to the tree and began knocking at the lighter part of the tree. Her knocks are rhythmic, and she sang something to match the knocking. "It's a small world after all, it's a small, small world." She sang to herself as her knocks matched the temp she sang. Suddenly, the light part slowly moved to the side, exposing a black spot. Barbary widened his eyes in shock. "Wow." He said.

Rapunzel and Ariel looked at him, with nice smiles on their faces. Ariel then stood beside them as she waited for them. "Barbary, your new life awaits." She said in a British tone, making Barbary giggle a bit. Rapunzel then gently pulled his arm forward, making the both of them begin walking forward.


Soon, the 3 friends walked inside the tree, and Barbary saw something unusual; a rippling mirror with what appears to an image of a pathway surrounded by forest, and a large castle in the distance. Rapunzel looked at Barbary, who was a bit frightened at seeing something worse. "I…Is it safe to go through?" he asked in a shy voice.

Ariel gave a small smile as she, and Rapunzel leaned down to comfort him. "Sweetie, it's fine. Really, it is." She began. Barbary looked at her with a shy look. "R-Really?" he asked. Ariel nodded, as Rapunzel added,

"Of course. How else would we get here to your world?" Barbary looked at her, a bit confused before she realized what she meant, before laughing and blushing. "Heh. Sorry…" he said. Ariel giggled and ran her hand through his hair.

"It's okay, dear. To be honest, we were expecting something like this." She comforted. Barbary looked at her confused. "Really?" he asked, and the two women nodded in response.

"How about this; how about the 3 of us all go in at the same time. Does that work?" she suggest. Barbary and Rapunzel nodded, the former feeling relieved. Then he took two of their hands as they stood straight once more.

"Ok, ready?" asked Rapunzel, swinging both of her arms, making Barbary giggle as his arm was swinging with hers. Ariel just gave her a confused look. "We don't have to jump in, Rapunzel." She said. Rapunzel looked back at her.

"I thought it would be fun." She replied. Ariel just rolled her eyes and shook her head. "Oh fine. We'll jump in. Okay, ready?"

The two nodded as they got ready. "Ready? One," they swing their arm upwards one time. "Two," they swung it a second time. Then, "Three!" Suddenly the three of them jumped into the rippling mirror, and soon they made it across.


Barbary widened his eyes as he jumped through the portal, and instead of the black hole, he found at another place entirely. It was much greener than the forest they were at before. "Wow. This forest looks beautiful." He said to himself with a smile. Rapunzel looked at him and smiled. "You like it here?" Barbary looked at her and nodded with a smile. "Yes I do, Rapunzel." He replied. Rapunzel giggled at such a beautiful sight. "He's so cute," she thought to herself as she ruffled his hair again.

Then, the two princesses approached two horses. Ariel approached a black horse with white patterns in some parts of the body. Rapunzel has a white horse, looking rather majestic in comparison to Ariel's horse.

"Hey there, Maximus." Rapunzel cooed at him like he's a little baby. The horse, Maximus blushed a bit in embarrassment. Barbary giggled, making Maximus look at him, confused. "Oh Barbary, this is my horse, Maximus." She introduced the child to him.

"Um…I've never gotten close to a horse before." Barbary said to her, clearly frightened by the sheer size of the horse. Rapunzel smiled, and gently pulled him to her.

"It's gonna be okay, baby. Maximus here is a friendly horse, aren't you, you little baby you?" she then began cooing at Maximus, who smiled at her affection as she rubbed the back of his ear. Barbary giggled and began to approach Maximus, wanting to pet the horse. He wanted to pet his head, but he was too short, so he instead went for the chest. Rapunzel looked at him and smiled at his intense admiration of seeing such a beautiful animal. Even Ariel liked seeing such a cute sight. Barbary looked at them. "What? I can't reach the nose." He said simply.

The two girls giggled at his naivety, before Ariel asked, "Alrighty, Barbary? Do you want to ride with me? Or do you wanna ride with Rapunzel?" she asked. Barbary looked at the two horses, and then at Rapunzel. "Um, you don't mind me being with Ariel, don't you?" he asked. Rapunzel shook her head.

"Oh no, not at all, dear. Go and have a fun time with her." She said. Barbary smiled, gave her a small hug before approaching Ariel, the woman helping him up her horse, before they soon began their trek through the pathway. Barbary was a bit anxious at first, fearing of falling off a fast animal. But Ariel must've heard his thoughts, because as she held on the handles, she pressed her arms closer around him to ensure he won't fall off. Barbary looked back at her, and the two of them smiled before he looked on ahead at the distant kingdom. Barbary then began to lose his fear, and soon grew another smile, before he giggled, loving the adrenaline coursing through his veins. The little child smiled and giggled all the way across the paths and towards the kingdom, to his new home.


Soon, the two princesses soon arrived at the kingdom grounds. Barbary looked on as they entered the village; it was rather old-fashioned, compared to the 1800s German architecture. He saw some of the buildings, and smiled, liking such beautiful scenery. The citizens looked at two of their rulers, and smiled at seeing them. They then looked at Barbary, and were confused who this boy was. Barbary looked at them, and felt a bit anxious. Ariel looked down at him, and gently caressed his hair.

"It's okay, Barbary." She soothed, looking at the villagers, who then looked away. "Most of them are really sweet people. You'll learn to love them." She spoke to him warmly. Barbary looked at her, and gave a small smile, though he was still afraid. Ariel however, didn't mind, as she continued caressing his hair gently. Rapunzel looked on, and gave a small smile, before she began to remember her first time in the kingdom of Corona before moving to the World of Disney. "*sigh* That boy. Curious of seeing the world, or rather a whole new world…just like how I was…" she thought to herself, as the two of them continued their way to the castle.


At last, the princesses finally reached the castle. Barbary was amazed at seeing such a large and beautiful castle. "Wow! This is beautiful. And so BIG, too." He told them. Ariel and Rapunzel giggled as they set their horses near a pole. The two princesses climbed down as Ariel helped Barbary down.

"So um…do you two come here, often?" asked Barbary. Ariel and Rapunzel looked at each other, then at him. "Um…we LIVE here, baby. We're princesses." Rapunzel replied. Barbary immediately widened his eyes upon realizing that he was talking to royalty, and he stuttered as he bowed down.

"I-I-I'm s-sorry, your highnesses." He said, not wanting to have his head cut off. Then, he felt two pairs of arms around him. It was Rapunzel, and she held onto him, wanting him to relax. "Hey, hey. It's okay, honey. It's okay. You don't need to bow down." She soothed into his ear, rubbing her hand on his back. This seemed to work, as Barbary soon settled down his breathing, and his shivering stopped. Then he gently pulled back.

"I-I don't?" he asked. Rapunzel and Ariel (who was leaning down to his height) shook their heads. "Absolutely not, dear." Ariel said. Rapunzel added, "The three of us are friends now. And you'll be living here with us. So you don't have to bow down to us. Besides, we're not really fans of formality anyways." Barbary giggled in embarrassment. "Oh, okay…I'm sor-" Suddenly he felt a thumb on his lips. Rapunzel gave him a smile.

"It's okay, Barbary. No need to apologize." She said, before leaning forward, and gave him a kiss on the forehead. Barbary widened his eyes briefly, eyes blushing, before she smiled at them, the princesses smiling back as they stood up straight.

"Ready to head inside? Our friends are inside, and I'm sure they'd love to meet you." Ariel asked. Barbary gave a grin and smiled. "Yes, Ariel." He replied. Ariel nodded as they soon began walking towards the front door.


The three friends soon went inside the castle, and Barbary was once again mesmerized at seeing such a beauty. He looked at the floor tiles, which have black-and-white checkered tiles. The walls have a pink coloring with golden pillars, as well as portraits of various wealthy men and women.

"Beautiful." He said to himself. Ariel and Rapunzel giggled, liking how the boy is taking their home, very reminiscent of how they themselves reacted when they first entered a castle. Rapunzel just shook her head. "Okay, how much do he and I have in common? We must be the same people" She thought to herself while shaking her head with a smile.

It wasn't very long, before the two princesses arrived at a large dining room. Breakfast was starting in the castle, and there are several other women preparing to sit down to eat the food. Barbary looked on at the women; one of them was rather tall, with a pink gown and blond hair. Another was very unusual looking, with wild, unkempt red hair. There were 2 other princesses of different races; one of African-American, and the other of Native American descent. Not wanting to be noticed, he silently hid behind the two princesses.

"Hi girls. We're back." Ariel greeted. The others looked back at them, and greeted them with smiles. "Morning, girls. You both are back so early?" one of them asked. Rapunzel nodded. Barbary looked at the girls at the table, before noticing one of the chairs moving back, and a beautiful 12 year old girl with black hair tied to a ponytail looked at Ariel.

"Mom! You're home early?!" she exclaimed excitedly before she sped over and hugged Ariel. Ariel didn't hesitate with hugging her back with a smile. "I know, Melody. I know we said we'll be back after our secret visit to the other world. But uh…" She turned towards her back. "We've got a bit sidetracked."

The daughter, Melody, as well as the rest of the girls looked at her direction, and saw a small boy, who was looking at them with a shy smile, before he back away to being behind Rapunzel. Melody looked at her mother,

"Um, momma. Who is this?" she asked. Ariel looked at Barbary.

"Melody, this is my new friend, Barbary." She started. "He's shy, right now. But he's harmless." Rapunzel then turned towards Barbary. "It's okay, Barbary. I've known her for a long time. She's very friendly." She assured. Barbary looked at her, then at Melody. Barbary was still pretty scared at meeting a complete stranger. But the two princesses looked at him assumingly with smiles. So, with a gulp, he gently scooted aside from Rapunzel, and began speaking to Melody.

"Hello, M-Melody. I'm Barbary." He began with a shy smile. Melody responded with a smile of her own, making Barbary blush at her. "She's so…beautiful, just like Ariel." He thought to himself.

"Hi, Barbary. My name is Melody. It's nice to meet you." She said. Barbary smiled back at her, before he gently stepped away from Rapunzel to talk to her some more. "So, are you a real princess?" he asked. Melody smiled.

"Of course I am. Are you someone from Earth?" she asked. Barbary nodded. "Yes. I ran away from home because of…reasons I don't want to talk about…" His face soon fell flat when he mentioned that. Melody immediately noticed this, and felt sympathy for him. But then his face slightly brightened.

"So, given your name, do you sing?" he asked. Melody smiled and nodded. "Of course. Not all the time, but I do." She replied. Barbary smiled as he scratched the back of his head. "That's nice. I wish I was a good singer." He said to himself. Then they heard someone gushing at the table. It was another girl, about 14 years old with a red, blue and yellow dress. "These two are so cute together." She said, making the two blush profusely. Then, they saw the girl with the wild red hair telling her off. "Oh, shush, Snow White. Yer' gonna make the boy's nose bleed."

Barbary noticed the girl's accent; very heavy in Scottish accent. "She must be from Scotland." He thought. Then he turned to Ariel and Rapunzel.

"Um, who are they?" he asked. Ariel smiled at him and began to introduce him to the rest of the princesses. He smiled at each of them, and said a shy 'hi' to each of them. He remembered the names in his mind for later; Snow White, Cinderella, Aurora, Belle, Jasmine, Pocahontas, Mulan, Tiana and Merida.

At last, breakfast was served. Barbary was especially excited at his food. He was never given any dinner last night, and he forgot to bring some snacks for the morning, so once he received a seat between Rapunzel and Ariel, he quickly chowed down on the oatmeal. Rapunzel and Ariel were shocked at how quickly he was eating.

"Barbary, slow down. Are you that hungry?" asked Rapunzel. Barbary looked at her and nodded. "Yes. I've never had dinner last night. Nor did I bring anything to eat for the morning. Hehe…" he smiled. Everyone looked on in confusion. Ariel looked at them. "We'll explain later." She said as Rapunzel caressed Barbary's hair upon seeing his face growing uncomfortable.

"I agree. Right now, let's just continue eating, please?" Rapunzel added with a pleading tone. The others are still very concerned for the boy, but they decided that they won't press onwards. So, they just continued eating, before they started talking to each other about what they plan on doing today.

Barbary listened on to what they said, and his face slightly brightened for a little bit. Rapunzel and Ariel looked at him and smiled at seeing him smile. They hoped that after eating, he can spend some time getting used to his new life, and hopefully make friends with their other friends, just like he made friends with them…
