Happy Hallowe'en Everyone! I really wanted to post by hallowe'en, currently watching Hocus Pocus which is my absolutely favourite! AH! What's everyones favourite Hallowe'en films?

A quick note: I really didn't get the ball rolling with Mulan quick enough so expect a few bulk chapters for her~sorry guys.

Aladdin sat at the table scoffing down the last of the coco pops. Sadly it really was the last as Aladdin scraped up several actual coco pops and the rest was broken, powdery cereal-mess. Genie was reading a newspaper and his presence had become ordinary now. Although only supposed to be staying until Christmas he had furthered his trip to Easter deciding that he didn't want to cut his visit short as he couldn't guarantee when the next visit would be.

"Oh but Genie we don't have that much food and-" his mother argued, feeling guilty

"Don't be stupid, sis" he laughed, "I'll chip in, I'm an honest man you know"

And so Genie did chip in, Aladdin wanted to ask how he was still making money while not being away and working but when he asked his mum she flicked him on the ear and told him not to ask people about money. Ten minutes later she kissed his ear and apologised.

So Aladdin enjoyed Genie's company, even sometimes a bit more than anyone else', he proved very funny and even helped him with his Halloween outfit. He also introduced him too Flynn and Phoebus when they bumped into them at the mall and even they agreed Genie was a nice, funny guy.

"Bye, Aladdin and make sure you get to school on time"

"Sure and could you grab more coco pops" he said, as his mum pulled her handbag over her shoulder

"They're not very healthy... I'll get oatmeal" she kissed her son on his forehead, patted her brother on the back and headed out of the apartment.

"So" Genie said, leaning in, "when's this date with this Yasmine girl?"

"Jasmine" Aladdin corrected him, "And... I don't know..."

Genie raised an eyebrow,

"Genie I... I... told her I was" he paused, "... I said I was rich"

Genie sighed, "And you think she'll dump you if you're not?"

"I think she'll dump me if she knows I've lied" Aladdin dropped the spoon into the bowl with a little plop,

"Well here's an idea- Tell her the truth!" his eyes slightly bulged as he said 'truth'

"No way!" Aladdin said, "if Jasmine knew I was really some crummy poor kid... she'd laugh at me"

Genie sighed again and just glanced on at his nephew glumly,

"Alright alright" Aladdin said, standing up and pulling his leather jacket on, a gift from his uncle "I've got to be confident- cool!"

There was a pause,

"How do I look?" he asked, stiffening his chest

"Like-like a prince" Genie smiled quite sadly, slightly disappointed in his nephews decision to still try and trick this girl who from the sounds of it, was too clever to keep up for too long.

"I'll ask her out today, take her to dinner over Christmas holidays"

"Sounds like a good plan" Genie nodded,

Aladdin slung his backpack over his shoulder and Genie stood up, and they both headed for the car.

Mulan lugged herself out of bed that morning and again, shuffled to school in the cold with her coat pulled closely to her. It had been nearly a week now, it was slowly getting colder and colder every morning and Mulan physically groaned at the thought of training in the snow. As she reached the changing rooms she pulled off her layers and then made her way to the field like she had been doing for the past four days. Yawning, she made her way to the centre with Hercules who was less sleepy and was becoming friendlier and friendlier, the only one on the team to be. He didn't speak as they walked, Mulan figured that by now he had learned Mulan was way to tired to be having full blown conversations. He was so energetic, she really didn't get it.

"Morning" Shang boomed, "I hope you're all ready for some actual game today"

Gaston clapped and grinned, "Finally!"

Hercules sighed, "Oh God... he can be pretty violent" he muttered to Mulan, "try and be on his team or you'll be injured, without a doubt"

Mulan's eyes widened at the information just surpassed and glanced at Gaston who was bouncing on his feels now, she gulped.

"It'll be OK" Hercules said quickly, catching her expression.

But it wasn't OK. Not really.

Shang had split the team into two and although she barely knew him, she felt awkward to have been away from Hercules who was really going out his way to make her feel somewhat welcome and, just her luck, she was paired against Gaston who had an aggressive glint in his eye; better for football than for soccer. As predicted, the game was casual, a way for Shang to checks strengths and weaknesses. Lyle and Chen-Po were put in goal and Mulan ran around... for lack of better word... flimsily and unsure and because she was so focused on just trying to kick at something that wasn't her own chin, she hadn't noticed Gaston 'accidentally' running straight into her and then laughing about it afterwards with Ling and Yao.

Bruised in the arm and muddy, Mulan fell to the grass as Shang ended practice and the team headed off to the changing rooms to get ready for homeroom. Mulan wiped her face, she wasn't sure whether what she wiped was tears, sweat or dew but the pain was there, physical and mental.

"Mulan" Shang called over his shoulder, "training's over, hit the showers"

Hercules lingered and walked slowly back, Mulan watched as even the friendliest of the bunch looked back at her hopelessly.

She sighed, and swallowed and stood up. Limping a bit she caught up with him,

"Her-Hercules?" she called,

"Hey" he smiled sadly, "Are you OK, did Gaston hurt you?"

She sighed again and nodded,

"Listen... you can tell Shang and-"

"No" she said bluntly, "I want to take up your offer... if it still stands"

Hercules smiled, "Of course it does, I'm here to help"

Rapunzel, Ariel, Jasmine and Mulan crowded around the table in the cafeteria, ten minutes into their lunchtime. Mulan was in higher spirits now she had eaten and taken up Hercules' offer, arranging to meet him tomorrow for training. She'd told her friends who agreed he was such a nice guy and then they gave her a pep talk. Jasmine sat, eating a bowl of pasta while Ariel gushed about Eric and how he had found his Instagram.

"But there aren't any photos of him and his girlfriend... do you think they broke up?"

"Do you think he had a girlfriend in the first place? What if Vanessa was lying?" Rapunzel bit her lip,

Ariel's eyes widened "Why didn't I think of that?"

"It makes sense" Jasmine shrugged

"You guys are right!"

"Duh, I usually am" Jasmine joked,

"So... should I talk to him? If he has no girlfriend I suppose there's no real problem"

But at that moment the doors swung open and students poured in, amongst them was Eric and Vanessa holding hands. Vanessa's shoulder was pressed firmly to his and she was smiling lovingly up at him.

"Ariel..." Jasmine sighed "...It's OK"

Ariel's shoulders dropped "God, I feel so stupid"

"Come on Ariel, Vanessa's horrible" Mulan said, "he's not going to stay with her long"

Ariel just shook her head, "It's fine"

All of her friends tilted their heads pitifully,

"If he doesn't think you're amazing then he isn't worth it" Jasmine declared, and her confidence fell short as she spotted Anna over on another table, her face was in a slight frown and Hans was ignoring her.

"What?" Rapunzel asked, looking at Jasmine

And then slowly all four girls were looking over at Anna who was unaware and chewing on a sandwich.

"I hate seeing her like this" Mulan pondered, "Can't we do something-"

"No" Jasmine said bluntly, "He kissed Snow and she didn't believe us"

Mulan's face saddened, "He's ruining her then"

"She must believe us on some level" Ariel said, "she knows, I know she does"

"So what? She'd rather a rubbish boyfriend than no boyfriend?" Mulan asked,

"I don't know" Ariel shrugged, "I guess she's going to have to figure it out herself"

Rapunzel's big eyes became watery, "do you guys... I mean... do you think Flynn kisses other girls?"

Ariel, Jasmine and Mulan exchanged glances

"You're not going out officially- are you?" Jasmine asked

"No no!" Rapunzel said quickly, "But I think, I think he likes me"

Jasmine smiled, "I think so too"

Rapunzel grinned, "Really!"

"Well do you like him?" Ariel raised an eyebrow and Rapunzel blushed

"You so do!" Ariel answered her own question, and Rapunzel giggled a bit

And then they all started squealing quietly, but Jasmine couldn't help but stare over at Anna who was looking sadder than she'd ever seen her and Hans who hadn't even glanced at her once.

Phoebus and Esmeralda had their last period free, Frollo had assigned an essay and they decided they'd get started with the tutoring. They took up a seat in the common room away from the other seniors and Phoebus ran her through his essay plan,

"You plan your essays?" Esmeralda grimaced

"You don't?"

"Sometimes for English, usually I just wing it" she shrugged,

"See philosophy isn't like English" he began, "you need evidence, names and dates and ideas and why... you've got to back yourself up with facts"

Esmeralda blinked and Phoebus continued,

"English you can make it up and interpret but this isn't like that you see?"

"I see" Esmeralda nodded, "So how are we planning this?"

Phoebus ran her through his plan, and watched as she took notes and created her own in a spindly mind map with different colours for each points. He watched her scrawled penmanship rush across the paper and how she'd tuck her frizzy hair behind her ear and every now and then ask a question or add something,

"You could extend on his point" she'd say, pressing her pen to her temple and leaning on it slightly, and then she'd write again, swapping pens frantically and scraping a red line on her thumb and her bracelets would jingle as she wrote and she'd read over her point, absent minded muttering it to herself,

and he was mesmerised. Absolutely and completely, mesmerised.

Elsa and Anna hadn't been the same for the past few months and December was right around the corner, Christmas; their favourite time of the year. Anna had been spending her time texting Hans and Elsa had noticed she'd even started sitting with him at lunch times. She wondered what had happened to Jasmine, Ariel, Mulan and the other, newer girl with short hair. She had hinted a few days ago, asking if Anna was inviting them round for a sleepover as she hadn't done in a while, Anna just shook her head and changed the subject. Elsa had avoided eye contact with Hans whenever she saw him, which was frequently as he was in her year and most of her classes. Elsa had even found herself lying when her mother had come into her room last week to ask if Anna's new boyfriend 'was any good?'. Elsa shrugged and claimed she hardly knew him but that wasn't true. She saw he was mean, she saw his sleazy friends and she knew he was causing problems for Anna but she also knew had she told her mother that, Anna would never talk to her again. She knew she'd have to let her figure it out for herself.

That Thursday however, after school, Anna brought Hans round rather cleverly on a night where their parents were out for dinner. She had chirpily said, "Hey you know my sister Elsa, right!" To which Elsa, already in her sweats, a tank top and sweatpants and she was digging into a packet of gummie bears. Anna and Hans headed into the family living room, plopped onto the sofa and she immediately switched on Adventure Time.

"You watch cartoons?" he asked with a scoff,

"Only sometimes" Anna said, though Elsa knew she was lying as the two of them spent numerous Saturdays indulging in Stephen Universe and Adventure Time, Elsa's favourite being the Ice King. Elsa shuffled from the kitchen and sat in the opposite sofa, trying to be as comfortable as possible in her own house whilst her horrible classmate sat making himself at home.

"Here" he said, "put on something a bit more... well... funny"

Anna complied and passed him the remote, and Hans immediately switched on South Park,

"Now you see" he said, "if you like cartoons watch South Park at least its an adult cartoon and it's hilarious"

Elsa endured a whole three minutes of the so called 'hilarious' show before having to leave the room sick of the obnoxious noise the show caused and the crude jokes.

Heading back into the kitchen to grab a bottle of juice, she spotted their phones on the marble surface and waited for a moment of silence to pass before she clicked the home buttons. Anna's phone, smaller than his, lit up to show a pretty background of a selfie of her and Hans, she looked chirpy while he looked uninterested. Elsa sighed, she remembers when Anna's background was of them two. Then she clicked Hans and raised an eyebrow at seeing only a default wallpaper, was his phone new or was he just one of 1% who kept the default? She glanced through the hallway into the living room where she heard the TV blaring and Hans chuckle. She pulled at the notification bar and her eyes widened. An ignored text from Anna,

"Hey, I'm in the cafeteria where are you?"

Elsa stopped herself from being angry and assumed after she sent the text, she had spotted him.

Another text,

"Let me know about Saturday then xx" from someone called 'Chel'

"Chel and I are still together stop fucking texting her" From 'Tulio'

"stop stealing my aftershave I swear I'm gonna punch you" from 'Laurence'

"going to Don Bluth Mall this sat, usually some hot girls ther u coming?" from Gaston

Elsa shuddered. Not a single text there meant anything good about his character and Elsa drew a deep breathe, to stop herself from bursting there and then.
