A/N: I considered making Gaston and Belle lab partners (and Belle will come in very soon, don't worry), but this idea came and I just...*laughs evilly* I apologize to my lovely Scottish princess for making her put up with this...
(Gaston)
"She's not half bad," Edward argued as the redheaded girl picked under her nails with a pocket knife. Through the massive curls I could see the wide curve of her white cheeks, splashed with freckles. In her brown riding pants, I could see the curve of her round thighs, which looked lovely paired with the tall riding boots she wore.
Princess Merida.
"She looks like a piece of work," I argued as the butch girl put her knife away. She was beautiful, but also a challenge it didn't look like I would win.
"If you can bag her, I'll give you twenty bucks."
"Big deal. The pain I'll endure is not worth that."
"I'll let you borrow Giselle."
Two redheads, huh? My veins felt hungry as I watched Merida now, feeling slightly possessive.
A darker skinned boy of Animal Kingdom status handed her something before ruffling her hair. I heard the promise of seeing each other later before he left.
I sat beside her, slinging my arm around the back of her chair.
"So, was that your boyfr-"
"I don't talk to misogynistic assholes."
Yeah, this would be hard.
(Peter)
/"Wendy, you can stop crying. You won't be gone forever, will you?"
Her blue eyes, large in her pale face, were full of tears. "Forever and ever, Peter. I'll never see you again."
My heart pinched. "You can't leave me, Wendy. You promised. You-" I coughed, and Wendy lunged forward.
"Oh, Peter, you're burning up! I should go get your mother-"
"Don't!" I exclaimed, grabbing her wrist in my hand. "She'll make you leave. Can't you stay? I'll be alright."
She watched me in that slow steady gaze I knew, before laying down next to me. "Okay, Peter. But when you wake, I'll be gone."
I wrapped my arms around her waist, tucking her honey curls under my chin. "Then don't say goodbye. Just stay."
"I love you, Peter."
"I love you, too, Wendy."/
I stared my partners name for what seemed like forever. 'Wendy Darling' written in her curling neat script.
"Did you know?" I asked Tink very softly, tracing my thumb over the long y in her name.
She made a little noise, soft in her throat. "I ran into her and Alice last night. They're in the Hatter dorm with me."
I nodded, feeling my lip tremble. "Did she know? That I was here?"
Tink shrugged. "She didn't ask about you."
I nodded. But in a few moments I would be beside Wendy. Wendy, my best childhood friend and I spent the best years of my life with. My Wendy. My Wendy.
I looked at my seat number, and fought my way to it.
Wendy was older now. Doing the math, I realized she was almost eighteen now. Her honey curls had been exchanged for a waist length hair wrapped in a sleek ponytail. Gone were the days of tea dresses and children's nightgowns; those too had been out casted for a snug pair of skinny jeans, a fitted purple tank and a silver scarf with the Magic Kingdom symbol, a castle, stitched into the corner.
Her blue eyes, rimmed in mascara, widened. "So it's true. I thought, when I saw your name, Peter-"
"Wendy," I whispered, before rushing forward to crush her against me, to feel the warmth of her against me. I noted the scent of baby powder and milk cream where replaced with a scent of roses and make up.
"Peter-you just can't-let go! People are looking!"
"So?" I interjected as she pushed me away. I felt the rejection creep into my bones. "Wendy, you haven't forgotten me, have you?"
"Of course not-"
"Then you know! You know how dear you are, how important-"
"Peter. We were children!" She exclaimed softly. "Of course I care and of course I know. But Peter, it's the past. I moved on grew up. Have you?"
I blinked, repeatedly. Surely this was some kind of nightmare. "Wendy, you really don't mean any of it-"
"Class, silence! We do have a lesson to get to. If you would please open your book to chapter one..."
So, who do you think Wendy's boyfriend is?
Next chapter will be your favorite little outcasts. Will include Kristoff, Peter, Jim, Tink, Wendy, Belle, Babette, Lumiere, Cogsworth, Rapunzel, Flynn, plus some nondisney Rise of the Brave Tangled Frozen Dragons. Whose ready?
