A/N: Ugh, this week has been so stressful. My work days got switched so I updated today. I'll try to update again Friday, but it depends if I get anything written so...

I was going to really try to Merida's part done, but it's not going to happen today. So here's a really long Aladdin part. I'm sorry it's so choppy and pointless...

PM who you want to see soon. Next will be Merida, Elsa, Hans and Jasmine, Peter, Wendy, and Tink. Then we'll have Rapunzel visit Gothel, who will allow her to meet Ursula, along with Flotsam and Jetsam, and Flynn.

Saphira9041: Captain Amelia is a character from one of my favorite Disney Movies, Treasure Planet. I hope to get a link to my blogger page and be able to list everyone's human counterparts. Just to give a visual, since it's kinda hard to picture them sometimes...

(Aladdin)

I hustled down to the primary dorm, carting the (very heavy) present from Uncle Gene to the both of us. I hated to bother Abu, of course, but the note said the box was to be delivered immediately. Abu had told me he'd been having some friends over. It was good, that way I wouldn't have to stay long and could get back to Merida at the party. I wondered if she'd wear that blue strapless-

I shook my head, ruffling my hair. I didn't need to be thinking about Merida right now, no matter how much I wanted to. It would only make me frustrated-and slightly flustered, if I was honest with myself.

It was only right I was agitated with her. I'd practically spelled it out I was in love with her. I'd been in love with her since I was twelve, and that ought to count for something. It wasn't like she couldn't know. She had too. We were the ones who went out every weekend together, sometimes Abu and I went over to Scotland for breaks, and sometimes we hung out at my place where my uncle always came and went as he pleased.

By the time the monorail stopped so had my anger. It wasn't Merida's fault I loved her so much.

I still remembered her telling me that summer we sat on the couch watching Thor, that she was asexual and was never going to marry, despite the protests of her parents. I'd been so proud, watching her be happy and defiant.

But at the same time it was like every piece of me shattering into a hundred pieces, having to fake a smile as she fell asleep in my lap wearing that green nightgown I liked. Smile and try not to cry. Holding her and promising her happiness came above my love.

I found my hands moving on their own to knock on Abu's door, him answer but a few moments later.

He was topless in a pair of checkered pajama pants, and I noticed quickly that he wasn't alone.

Abu smiled widely, wrapping his arms around my knees when he saw me. I supposed he did just look like a younger version of me, same hair, eyes, shape, and color. His ebony hair was mussed and frizzed as if he'd been fighting.

"Aladdin! What are you doing here, brother?" He smiled happily, hands still fisted in my pajama pants. I ruffled his hair.

"Later, okay? Be nice and introduce me."

Around his bedroom he pointed, naming off children. I was now overly aquainted with Lilo, Stitch, Mogli, Boo, Russel, Nemo, Dash, Chicken Little, Ventus, Marie, Sofia, Bambi, Flounder, Scamp, Pinochio, Chip, and a girl named Shanti who must've had something in her eye the way she kept batting her lashes. Two men stood up, from the back of the room. One was tall, muscled, with thick eyebrows. The other was smaller with a nasal voice and an energy about him. They Introduced themselves and Mike and Sulley, overseeing the weekend fun of the slumber party. I asked to borrow my brother briefly, and I was allowed to pull him into the hallway. We slid down the wall, holding out the package before us.

"Whoa! What's that?" He asked happily, poking at the blue shiny gift wrap.

"Uncle Gene sent us a gift. To both of us. I wanted to wait until we were together to open it."

His eyes shown brightly up at me, happy and excited, hero worship plain in his expression. It made my heart pinch, knowing I was practically his father. I ruffled his hair once more, pushing the package towards him. He ripped away the blue paper, pausing to stick the gold bow in my hair, and holding the shoe box between us.

"You open the lid, Aladdin! Please?"

"Okay, okay. Here we go."

Peeling off the cardboard lid, my brother and I set to scraping the Styrofoam packing peanuts out of the way, only to find a little satin purple cloth.

Abu's excited face dropped several degrees. "He sent us a scarf? It's so tiny..."

"Well..." I began sadly, trying to find a way to make this up to Abu. I should've opened it first. This was like Christmas all over again, having to explain why there were no presents until Merida had bounced in carrying a sack of toys on her back for my brother.

I can still remember her yanking me aside and falling apart in her arm, thanking her profusely. I remember her sheepishly yanking the beanie on my head, telling me her mother had taught her how to knit, so she made it for me. "It'll be cold in the academy," she had explained. Sweet Meri.

And I rarely was ever seen without my beanie.

I snatched up the cloth, surprised when my fingers brushed something solid. Using the cloth, I pulled out the object, careful not to touch it.

The cloth pooled around my fingers, revealing a trinket, about the length of my forearm. Made of solid gold.

"It's a lamp," Abu said softly. "And there's a note in the bottom of the box."

I carefully set the lamp down, leaning over to pick up the white stationary in my Uncle's loopy, cartoonish scrawl.

'Boys, I hope you're enjoying your stay at the Academy. I wrote to warn you to be safe, and to give you my most prized trinket: my lamp. I know, it may not look like much, but it's very important. This lamp is to be used solely in emergencies, real ones, where you are in danger. I cannot stress this enough.

Hoping not to see you soon,

Uncle Gene'

About halfway through I stopped reading aloud for Abu. What the hell was his deal? Being so rude? And sending an old oil lamp? And what with that closing?

Disgusted, I wrapped the lamp up in the scarf and stuck it in the bottom of my satchel, focusing my attention back on my brother.

"Hey, I'll visit again later, but I promised Meri I'd go meet her. Are you going to be okay?"

He nodded, seeming angry. I hated leaving him upset but there wasn't much else to do. It wasn't my fault our uncle was an ass.

I should've protected Abu better.

I had no one to blame but myself.

On the ride home I texted Merida I wouldn't be making it to the party, I'd just stay in my room and chill.

I didn't get a reply.

My stomach twisted lighty, and I knew how much she cared for me, but so many days I just felt so expendable next to her. She could go on being Scotland's brave but me? No. Without Meri I had nothing left to live for.

I turned on the tv in my room, flopping into the bottom bunk of the bed, only slightly surprised Kristoff and Sven weren't home from the party yet. I pulled on a pair of pajama bottoms, not bothering with a shirt as I stuffed the dumb lamp under my bed.

I was half way through this dumb Arabian Nights cartoon when a knock sounded at the door.

Merida popped her head in through the crack in the door, smiling wildly as her curls bobbed feverishly around her head. "Hope you don't mind me bargin' in," she said, none too softly with the distinctive voice she had. I had been half asleep.

Now, not so much.

She wore shorts, denim, and tore off at her thighs. She had on a blank tank with a red flannel shirt tied around her waist. Makeup was smudged around her blue eyes.

She looked flawless.

She held up a little satchel, sheepish smile on her face. "I brought some candy and marvel movies. Care if I come in?"

I smirked, opening my arms on the bed, initiating our usual "platonic" snuggle.

I sniffed. "Why do you smell like overbearing man cologne?"

She groaned. "It's a long story..."

I smiled, heart pinching. I'm never sure if it's reward or punishment, why I keep her near. "I've got time."

A/N: Hopefully I'll update Friday with Merida (and Gaston *eye rolls*) and Elsa's parts.
