Lol, you have no idea how long it took me to think up a name for this story. So, I didn't. My dad did. XD This chapter is a couple pages shorter than the last. Enjoy!

"Is she ok?" Kitten heard a familiar voice ask, in a foreign accent. Black….blur…black…blur…very slow.

"I hope I didn't hurt her." A female voice, this time, southern, & also familiar. Black faded to something blurry & back again faster with each time until Kitten's vision began to clear. As it cleared, she at first thought she was watching TV & laying on a pillow.

"I think she's waking up." Then, her vision cleared more. She recognized the voice of the person seeing her eyes open to light finally. The same foreign voice, & she saw a pair of huge eyes staring at her. She squealed & sat up quickly, kicking the air. The eyes shot out of her vision & out of her face.

"Are you ok, miss…?" Kitten looked around at her surroundings. She swore she was hallucinating. Because she was seeing a black girl, leaning next to her, with brown eyes. She had her black, curly hair up in a ponytail & had on a simple green jacket over her yellow T-shirt & dark skirt. She recognized her. It was Tiana, from the movie…oh, what was it called again? Kitten couldn't think straight for a few minutes. She turned her head & saw a man with black hair also. He had a slightly different shade of brown eyes. He was wearing a beige outfit, complete with a cute hat on top of his head.

"…Naveen…?" Kitten muttered.

"Ey!" Naveen shouted, leaving the "H" out of "Hey!", "The girl knows my name!"

"Well, of course. She's probably heard about you." Tiana said, smiling, charmingly at her husband. Kitten rubbed her head.

"I must have hit my head harder than I thought…" she said to herself, expecting the vision to swirl away in a minute. However, her thoughts shattered in a startle as a huge green face got into hers & screamed,

"HIYA, NEW GIRL!" Kitten screamed as she found a huge alligator shaking her hand & finishing with, "I'M LOUIS!"

"I-I-I can understand you!" Kitten said as if to comprehend it, forgetting she'd seen this before.

"Yeah, everyone says that…" Louis acted like it was a sweet compliment to get freaked out at him.

"Louis! You're scaring her!" Tiana said. "Sorry, honey. Louis is very friendly & he won't hurt you."

"Well, I know that!" Kitten said, "I'm still trying to comprehend the fact that I'm HERE!"

"What is--do you not like Tiana's restaurant?" Naveen asked.

"No, no…that's not what I…wait…" Kitten stood up & tried to calm herself. "I'm…actually IN Tiana's Palace?"

"Well, yes, of course you are!"

"A-And…you guys are actually here, really talking to me…"

"Of course. Why would you…" Tiana began.

"Holy smoke…" Kitten said, as she began to turn & leave.

"Wait, miss!" Tiana said. Kitten didn't answer. She stormed out of the store & scanned the place she was in. On either side of the restaurant about two blocks away, on each side would be a line of different buildings for different purposes. A couple of busses passed her & they looked somewhat old-school. Everyone looked cheerful & care-free. She ran about the city as she tried to absorb everything she saw. And of course, she couldn't go anywhere without hearing jazz music.

She usually loved it, but, she was still freaked out. She panted as she ran down the streets. Then, when she was just too tired to run, she stopped, leaned against a wall, & panted. She heard Tiana & Naveen calling her. There voices were getting close. They were catching up. Kitten huffed her breath out & continued running down the sidewalk. She saw a store ahead of her. It was tall, & had some pink lights in the shapes of things like material, & sewing equipment. Apparently a sewing shop. She shoved the doors open & ran inside.

There were lots of shelves, to say the least. The shelves were all coated in a million different shades & colors of material & felt. Next to each one of those was a shelf filled with the same shades & colors of threads & yarn, to go with it. The ceiling was about average high, & the walls looked plain. However, the carpet was bright neon green. It wasn't too crowded. A couple dozen people were there. Kitten recognized Tiana's mom, searching near a shelf with mostly green & blue on it. She quickly stormed behind the shelf to hide incase Tiana & Naveen followed her inside. Kitten stayed bent over & out of sight.

"Looking for something, Hon?" Kitten squealed. She looked up & saw Tiana's mom, looking down at her, for she was standing up straight.

"Umm…uh…reds?" Kitten stuttered.

"Over there, honey. Hey, have you seen my daughter, Tiana? She was supposed to come here & help me carry this material." Kitten hesitated to answer. Then, she smiled, nervously, but, innocently.

"Nope, never seen her!" she said. She quickly dashed away from the lady & hid behind the shelf filled with red & pink material. She heard the ding of the bell over the door ringing.

"Mama!" she heard Tiana's familiar voice say, "Sorry I'm late. I accidentally knocked out a girl who was in my restaurant & then, she got really freaked out & ran off. We are trying to find her. She's acting like we'll hurt her or something."

"Well, that sounds strange." Eudora said. "Here. Naveen, you take this." She handed Tiana & Naveen some material.

"Have you seen her? She's about our age, maybe a bit younger. She's got short brown hair, & was wearing, I think, a yellow skirt?" He looked at Tiana. Kitten became nervous.

What if she remembers my skirt? She thought.

"Hmm…you know, I think I saw someone of that description. She said she was looking for reds, but, she did act a bit nervous. Go check over there." Eudora pointed in Kitten's direction. Kitten got scared & ran out from behind the reds. She quickly jumped behind the purples & violets, hopefully before anyone saw her. She peeked out from under the shelf to see what Naveen & Tiana were up to.

"I don't see anyone, Mama." Tiana said.

"Hmm. Must have left. Or maybe she went somewhere else in the store." Eudora said. Kitten turned away from then & sat down, leaning on the shelf.

Why am I running from them again? She asked herself. She actually wondered why. She'd seen this movie before, she knew they weren't going to hurt her & believe it or not, neither was Louis. Maybe I should… Her thoughts cut when she felt the shelf fall away from her back & heard a sharp thud. The shelf spilled material all over.

"….Oops!" Kitten squeaked. She quickly stood up & turned around with a shocked look on her face. Naveen, Tiana, & Louis were staring at her with shocked faces, as well. Kitten chuckled, nervously. "Hee, hee…woops. Uh…CLEAN UP ON AISLE UH…PURPLE!" She yanked her hands behind her back & smiled nervously, closing her eyes.

"Uh…" Tiana said.

"Ashee Danza." Naveen said. Kitten had always wondered how to spell that. Kitten opened her eyes & looked at them & her smiled vanished.

"Right, uh…" she said. Tiana & Naveen looked like they were waiting for her to talk, "…Bye!" She quickly bolted from her spot & out the door. Before Tiana could say anything, Louis darted out of the store after her.

"Louis, come back!" Tiana shouted after him as she & Naveen ran out of the store. Eudora sighed at her material on the floor. Tiana & Naveen rushed out into the streets after Louis, who was hard to miss. Kitten was running as fast as she could, unsure of what Louis wanted to do if he didn't just want to talk or play his trumpet. Louis stopped running as he heard Tiana & Naveen's voices. Kitten continued to run ahead as the two ran into Louis.

"Oh!" Naveen said.

"Louis, you be careful." Tiana said.

"But, guys… I wanna meet her!" Louis replied. Tiana sighed as Naveen panted.

"Come on…let's go get her." Tiana said, standing up again. Kitten was running as fast as she could until she began to run out of breath again. She could feel her chest heating up; she had to rest. She turned the first corner she saw & hid behind the wall, panting, but, trying not to make noise.

She waited for a minute or two, waiting for her heart to calm itself, waiting for Naveen & Tiana to run past, & waiting for her brain to absorb all this before she had to absorb more. After what seemed like hours to Kitten, she peeked outside. When she saw people walking around, she for some reason yanked herself back around the corner. She looked to her left & decided to walk on, thinking maybe she was just dreaming. She felt tired, even though she felt like she'd been asleep for hours since she'd been hit.

She walked through a large doorway & into a room with a high ceiling & something supplying light. She slowly crept through the room & thought for a minute.

"Ok…" she told herself, "This is like…the movie…so, I must have seen this before…" She looked around. Nothing but high walls, windows that looked like jail bars, a pair of stairs, & the one bit of light. And a tree. A pretty weird shaped one that of course, looked creepier than ever in this place. Then, she saw a door. It looked creepy. Combine the old, plain look of the door with the darkness & you get the entry to a spook house. She looked up at a sign a few feet above the faded purple door. Looked like a top hat with candles at the brim.

She couldn't see, but, she swore there were words. She squinted. She picked up a stick from the ground. Just a plain old stick from a tree. She poked at the sign to see if it would fall off the wall. This place looked so old. Instead of falling off the wall like she'd half-expected, the candles lit fast & she squealed, dropping the stick. Now, she could read the words.

"Dr. Facilier's…Voodoo Emporium…" she read aloud. She gasped & the fire went out, leaving her in darkness that seemed darker due to the fact that her pupils had been splits moments ago. "I do know this place…" Suddenly, she heard distant shouting getting closer. She gasped.

"Tiana & Naveen…" she said. She quickly opened the door & rushed inside, closing it. She left it open a snitch to peek out & see if they knew where she was. When she saw no one yet for a little bit, she figured she'd lost them, although she could still hear them. She closed the door all the way & then was startled. It was pitch black.

"Oh…where's the light switch…? I can't remember where it is." she said, feeling around for a wall or something to grab onto. Then, she beamed. "Oh, right…" She snapped her fingers, half-hoping it would work. A light by the table switched on & she felt sort of blinded from being in the dark even though it wasn't a huge amount of light. "Thank you…" she said to pretty much no one in particular. She walked towards the table, carefully looking about the place. It was creepy, she'd admit to that. She didn't see much, except the few shelves to her right, with a few dolls, a skull & books under it. She looked to her left & it was too dark to see, but, she thought she saw more shelves. She looked up & couldn't figure out what supplied the light to the table. She slowly sat down, half-expecting someone to jump out from behind the table & startle her.

"Wow…this could be my chance to check out this place without having to watch TV." she said to herself. "I could probably learn stuff the creators don't even know." She got out of the old chair & went to the left side of the room. She had to feel around some, until she found a spot with some light near it from the umm…let's just call it a lamp. She grabbed three books from a shelf & carried them back to the small table. She set them down.

"Oh, why are these so heavy?" she said. She looked at them. In the light, she found out they were pretty big books, except the third one. She grabbed the edge of the one under the other two & tried to pull it out. The other books slid out of their place when she got it out. One fell off the table. She winced at the sound of the deep "thud" on the ground. "…Oops…" She sat down & flipped through the pages.

"Weird…" she said. This was certainly a different book than anything she'd ever read. She stopped at one page that caught her attention. A pretty picture of something green & shining next to a paragraph. The book was so old, she had trouble reading it. The only thing she saw was a sentence that looked like it was in some foreign or slang language. "…Ge…ben…S…I…e der …anderen …Se…ite…" she read aloud, looking at the paper with the only readable words, "Geben Sie der anderen Seite" on it. She somehow knew this was German. She became confused. "Hm. I wonder what that means…" She suddenly heard something slither into her head. She dropped the book & it almost landed on her foot.

"Enter…" she heard, just ever so slightly. It sounded like hissing. She sat down, quickly & became a little scared. She felt the room get a little colder, & didn't notice the lime green glow into the atmosphere.

"Did I do something…?" she asked herself as she looked at the book at her feet.

"Enter…" She heard that hissing voice again, "…The Other Side!" Suddenly, a green funnel broke in the air behind her, making the room seem really loud. Kitten became surprised as she looked behind her. She heard chanting from nowhere & looked all around to find the source of a roaring chorus,

"ARE YOU READY?!"

"Ready…?" Kitten said to herself, "Ready… for what?!" she yelled, as her hair whipped around her face. No answer, just the continue of the chanting & a second,

"ARE YOU READY?!"

"WHOA!" Kitten yelled, before she felt the current pulling her in. She fought back & tried to plant her feet firmly on the ground to stop from moving, but, they only slid closer to the funnel. "YEP, I DEFENETLY DID SOMETHING!" she yelled over the roaring wind noises., before she was yanked in. The funnel closed right after that.

-TO BE CONTINUED-

Dr. Facilier is in the next chapter. ^^ I'm gonna have to wing it with what the other side is like, so, umm…yeah, I don't know what to say.
