(Rapunzel)
"Don't stay away too long."
"Okay."
"Don't forget I live right down in the housing district. Come and visit me every weekend."
"Yes, I will."
"If you ever need anything, give me a ring and I'll run up and get it."
"Of course, Mother."
"And no mumbling. And no parties or drinking or whatever it is they do at this school. And no boys! Especially no boys. Unless they're cute."
"Mother!" I flushed the color of the paint I was setting down in my trunk-sunset sky.
Gothel smiled cheerily. "I'm only teasing, little flower. Really, no boys."
We were walking to the gates of my new school. An actual school with actual people. After begging and pleading Mother had finally agreed to send me to school. To the finest university and the finest house. Disney Academy.
Beside us, two boys rode by screaming. One on a skateboard, the other on a motor bike. The one on the bike had red ruddy hair and an impish grin. I saw he had a pan flute around his neck. He waved, and I eagerly waved back, until Mother forced my hand down.
"No boys like that. Did he have a piercing? No piercings on you, or anyone near you. Understood?"
I nodded quickly. "Of course, Mother."
"Good," Mother sighed, before kissing my forehead. I saw the redheaded boy mock me for it, making my face go pink again.
"Is love you very much dear," she said softly, her wiry hair tickling my cheek.
"I love you more," I insisted.
She shook her head. "I love you most."
Sighing, she turned and left.
I waited five minutes before jumping for joy, twirling in a circle, my skirt and long braid going to their own rhythms.
"Hey, blondie, move it or lose it some of us have to get to our dorms!" Someone shouted.
The boy on the skateboard, whose chocolate hair was pulled into a ponytail, plowed by me. I quickly snatched up my things and made my way through the gates.
I was breathless. The castle was bigger than I'd heard, probably over one hundred, no, two hundred feet. My eyes scanned the the limestone marvel slowly, until I found the tallest tower. My room.
And your roommate, I reminded myself with a squeal. And we'll be best friends. We'll tell ghost stories and paint each others nails and braid hair-
I hoped she had the patience to braid my hair.
"Hi, miss? Are you a freshman?"
A man was waving his hand in my face. I blinked him in and out of forcus. Tall, curly dark hair. He had on a blue button up and jeans and a blazer open with a clipboard in his hands. He had stubble racing across his chin. I still couldn't paint that right-
"Name?"
"Oh, sorry. Rapunzel. Corona."
He nodded. "Okay. You're in the tower. Need help with your bags?"
I nodded swiftly, giving him a sorry smile. "If you wouldn't mind..."
"No trouble at all," he said quickly, picking up my trunk with my art supplies. "I'm Robert by the way. I'm in Magic Kingdom house. Your roommate is actually an Epcot transfer."
"Really?" I exclaimed. "That's so cool!"
He chuckled, probably at my over zealous enthusiasm. "Yes, well...She's good friends with my girlfriend, and well...If you ever need a place to stay, just look up my number and give me a ring. You'll be welcome to stay with my girlfriend or I."
I flushed. "Thank you so much, your very kind. But I really don't think it will be necessary. I'm sure she and I will be the best of friends..."
We ascended the tower through a back door, not through the castle. The winding stair case was dusty, and the tower smelled of something sweet.
"What's that smell?"
He sighed. "Incense, probably. Well, I'll leave you and the Princess to it."
I nodded, trying to swallow my squeal that rose when he said Princess.
Clearing my throat, I smoothed my skirt. "Hi, I'm Rapunzel Corona," I muttered cheerfullt. "Hello, Princess! I'm your new best friend, Rapunzel! No... I-"
The door swung open, and I coughed as the smoke hit me, spiraling straight into my face the same as if I'd run into the wall. The room was dark, with the only window covered in curtains of silk that seemed to belong to another time. On the floor was a thick carpet, looking hand woven with long gold tassels. Can you spin gold? Isn't there a story about that? There was music-from Morocco? Indian? And an incense burner in the corner.
The girl in the doorway was goregous. Tall and volumpous, she made me feel so small. Her dark caramel skin was such a contrast to mine. Her long regal nose and heavily makeuped eyes, which were a speckled Amber.
Princess Jasmine, I realized with a start.
"Hi!" I jumped in quickly, thrusting my hand between us. "I'm Rapunzel-"
Jasmine ran her hands over her face, turning around with her hands in the air.
"Fuck. No one told me I was rooming with a white bitch."
A/N: So there's chapter two-sorry for not warning for the swearing. So Jasmine is going to be the mean girl (for a while at least) as well as Queen Bee. And remember she transfered from Epcot house, and most people in Epcot come are from different countries, so she's used to rooming with Esmerelda and Meg and others.
One more moving in chapter and then we can start opening ceremonies and classes, as well as meeting other characters!
Peter was the boy on the motorbike and Jim was on the skateboard. Robert is from Enchanted.
I'm thinking next is Elsa and Anna, maybe Mulan? One of the princes too. Maybe Hans or Prince Edward or Gaston.
