This fic was inspired by the House fanfiction "Stories Can Be Good" by JustHuddy.

And this story is full out T. And yes, I did have Jasmine say "By Allah" once, but only because that's what they say in the actual movie. Besides, it's just their way of saying God, right?

Story 8; Fanfictions

Tiana didn't expect the room to be full of blinking screens when she walked in. She wasn't sure what they were, and didn't exactly want to find out. However, her curiosity got the best of her.

"What are those?" She asked, walking towards Mulan as she clicked around on one. To her amazement, when Mulan moved a little piece of plastic with her hand, a little arrow on the screen moved too.

"It's called a computer. We're connected to the internet." Mulan said. "I've been learning how to use one, and let me tell you, it's not easy when you grew up in ancient China." She gasped in frustration when she clicked on a screen and the words "404" showed up.

"I've read all about them in modern books and manuals." Belle said, clicking around like she was born to do it. "It's really not so hard. And guess what I found? A website where people write stories about things, like us!"

"They write about us?" Jasmine hurried to look over her shoulder.

"Yes, they do." Belle clicked around some more. "Some of them are new adventures; some of them are just us romancing with our husbands…or love interests…"

Mulan rolled her eyes. "You can just say husband. I don't care."

They searched around, giggling at the romance stories each other starred in. Most of them cute and sweet; a few with couples such as Tiana and Naveen and Jasmine and Aladdin got a little more sultry. However, they mostly stayed in the T rated stories, and the older princesses stayed in the K+. Finally, Mulan piped up.

"Have you ever wondered what's in the M rated stories?" She asked, pointing at one on the screen. It was Ariel/Eric, and it seemed rather sweet, about their wedding.

"Some of them are very violent, I think." Belle replied.

"Come on, we can take it! Especially me." Mulan proudly proclaimed, smirking at them. "I am a soldier." She clicked on the link, reading. "How bad can it be? Even fanfic authors have limits."

One story later, the princesses stared at the computer with their mouths blank in shock. The only movement was Jasmine's eye twitching.

"So that's what lemon means." Pocahontas whispered.

"Well, that was certainly…interesting." Tiana said. "I do believe I will not be able to sleep tonight without those images flashing in my head. Thank you, internet."

"So what stories did you just read?" Ariel skipped over. With a yelp, they quickly X'd out the page.

"Uh, nothing!" Mulan laughed nervously.

"Nothing at all!"

"Perfectly innocent!"

"Just fine!"

"Oh…" Ariel looked confused for a moment, but changed right back to her peppy grin, "Alright then!" She flounced off.

"So…" Belle mumbled, "I say we avoid M rated fics from now on?"

"Agreed." The others stated, nodding quickly.

Belle opened the page again, returning to the site.

"Wow, Tiana, there are tons about you!" Mulan exclaimed as she read through the page. "The writers seem to really like you and Naveen."

Tiana gave a small smile, sitting herself next to Belle to read the stories. Some of them made her laugh; some of them made her very sad. Some of them were well written; some needed quite a bit of work. She scrolled down the list of names, skimming the titles and descriptions, until:

"Forbidden Fruit"

Facilier knows he wants Tiana. Tiana knows she wants him. But can they resist the pressures from their sides to join together?

Tiana's jaw hit the floor.

"They're pairing me with Facilier? I…I…what?" She leaned on her elbows, staring closer at the screen. "Wha…why on Earth would they do that!?"

She clicked on the link, feeling a strange curiosity to read it. She immediately regretted that decision.

"They kissed, fiercely and passionately, his long, trained fingers roaming her smooth back."

Tiana started to feel sick.

"For a moment, they separated, Tiana staring into his deep purple eyes, filled with pain and strength.

'I love you.' She whispered.

He gave a sly grin, stroking her sides.

'I love you too.' They returned to each other's lips."

"Oh my God, this is…What!?" Tiana cried, shaking her head slowly in terror. "He tried to kill my husband! He killed Ray! He was going to offer all the souls of New Orleans to be sucked into Hell! And this person thinks he is a good lover for me!?"

"Here, I'll close it—" Belle started.

"No! I need to keep reading!" Tiana pushed her hand away from the mouse.

"Why!?"

"I have no idea!" she exclaimed, shrugging in shock. "I just have this strange desire to see how bad this gets!"

"She moaned as he deepened the kiss, pulling her even closer."

"Tiana, seriously, this is disgusting." Jasmine winced. Mulan was resting her head down on the desk, gripping it tightly. Pocahontas had her hands over her face.

"Please, Tia, can I X this out?" Belle pleaded.

"Yes! Gah! Just…EW!" Tiana covered her eyes, "Just leave it, please!"

Belle left the page as quickly as she could, sighing in relief.

"That was…disturbing." She said.

"Tell me about it." Tiana slumped down in her chair. "Now I know I won't be able to sleep tonight." She grabbed her hair, shaking her head.

"Well, at least I know there aren't any stories about Jafar and I," Jasmine piped, "I mean, there's no way people can be that horrendous. "

Belle shifted her head towards the computer screen.

"Jasmine stared at the older man from across the table. His slick, sharp features called to her, giving her a strange sensation to approach him…"

"By Allah…" She whispered, covering her mouth. "This is positively frightening."

"Let's leave this before they start shipping Belle and Gaston." Mulan said. She looked back at the screen. "Oh, too late."

"No, no, no, no, NO!" Belle cried, burying her face in her arms. "Why, why, why, why, why!?" she yelped, her voice muffled through her sleeve. Tiana smirked, placing a hand on her back.

"It seems some of our fans have some very strange minds." She said.

"I'm just happy that the other girls aren't having these problems. All of their enemies are women; they can't pair them with theirs." Belle said, collecting herself and rising from her position.

Tiana chucked nervously. "Well honey…it ain't exactly the 1700s anymore…" She gave the confused Belle a shrug.

"Well!" Pocahontas clapped her hands together. "On that note, what do you say we hang up these stories and have a nice cup of tea?"

"Sounds good."

"Indeed."

"For the love of all that's pure in the world, please."

They turned off the computer with a little tune and tried to walk off as if nothing happened. It was not easy.

"So, girls, did you read anything enjoyable?" Aurora asked, folding her hands together. "I read the most wonderful stories, so sweet and romantic."

"Yeah, yeah…" Tiana mumbled distantly.

"Um, yes, you can certainly find…uh…interesting material on the so-called internet." Pocahontas said, giving a forced smile.

"Yes…interesting." Mulan gave an awkward laugh.

"I can't wait to return to the internet!" Snow White mused, "So many wondrous, new things on it! You never know what you'll find! Those fans can come up with anything!"

"Yeah…anything…" The princesses groaned, sipping their tea.

"Whoops, look at the time, I have to go home to Eric!" Ariel giggled. They winced.

"And so many images return to my mind." Tiana whispered to Belle, who gave a wide-eyed nod as the red-head scooped up her things and gracefully walked out of the room.

"What's wrong girls?" Cinderella asked, raising an eyebrow. The newer princesses were all looking in different directions, their limbs weak and their faces nervous. Mulan was whistling innocently.

"Oh, nothing. Nothing at all." Jasmine replied, smiling.

"Dears, I may be older, but I'm not an idiot." Cinderella rested her chin on her fist, staring at them. "You read the stories pairing you with your enemies, didn't you?"

The other older princesses gasped. The newer ones dropped their jaw, gaping at Cindy in disbelief.

"You read them too?" Tiana gasped.

"No, actually." Cinderella smirked. "I know how to not read them."

"But how do you resist it? It's just so tempting!" exclaimed Mulan.

"A strong will against these things, I suppose." Cinderella nonchalantly sipped her tea. "When you are more of the innocent type, you have no mind to even consider reading about them."

"Did you see the…other kind?" Pocahontas winced, "the kind about…you know…"

"I know what?" Cinderella asked, genuinely confused.

"Nevermind."

"I think we can all agree that the internet is a wonderful yet dangerous place." Jasmine proclaimed.

"Sounds right to me." Said Tiana.

"Oh, yes, of course!" Aurora grinned, flipping her shiny golden hair.

"I guess next time we'll be more prepared." Belle smiled back, and the girls resumed their teatime as normal.
