Chapter Five

Scene 1

Belle and Pocahontas were walking down the hallway together and Jasmine was walking in the opposite direction with Ariel. They all just smiled and then passed each other. It had been really awkward the last week. Belle was mad at Jasmine for lying and wasn't talking to Jasmine until she told the truth. Even though Ariel didn't admit she was annoyed that Pocahontas was friends with John and was trying to take his place. Pocahontas was torn between Belle and Jasmine but since Jasmine was hanging around Ariel she stuck with Belle. Pocahontas didn't really like Ariel she thought she was very selfish not wanting to have John friends or be with anyone else but yet she kept choosing Eric over John.

"Okay stop being so stubborn and apologize to her. She might not be telling us anything but she is obviously going through something." Said a fed up Pocahontas after Jasmine was out of ear shot

"I hate being lied to though," said Belle

"But she has been your best friend since kindergarten. You have known her your whole life and she needs you right now."

"Your my best friend too Pocahontas," said Belle trying to change the subject because she hated being wrong.

"Don't change the subject. I am sick of choosing between you to in this stupid fight," exclaimed Pocahontas

"Fine. It pains me to say it but I guess I have been a bit stubborn," said Belle

"Just a bit?" laughed Pocahontas she loved Belle but sometimes she would just annoy her with her stubbornness.

"Then we can all hang out again. I hate this separate group thing I mean I liked hanging around Ariel and John. And of course I miss my best friend," said Belle

"Yeah I like John he is nice," said a Pocahontas

"What is that supposed to mean?" questioned Belle

"Nothing I think John is nice. Although I think Ariel treats him poorly. She is really selfish if you think about it," ranted Pocahontas

"I don't think it's fair to hate on her because the guy you have a crush is in love with her," lectured

"Who said I liked John?" commanded Pocahontas," Did Ariel say that because it's not true I just hung out with him a couple of times because she ditched him and he was down."

"Sure whatever you say," laughed Belle who knew very well Pocahontas did. She wasn't a person who showed her feelings well but she had this look in her eyes when she was around him.

"So you know John is in love with Ariel," said Pocahontas trying to change the subject away from her crush on John

"Yeah it is kind of obvious," said Belle

"Yeah," sighed Pocahontas

Scene 2

"Can I ask why you and Belle aren't talking?" asked Ariel who was really confused at what was going on. Although she didn't mind it too much because it kept John way from Pocahontas.

"It is stupid," said Jasmine who didn't want to talk about it. She felt a lot of loss right now her mom was gone her oldest friend wasn't talking to her.

"Oh okay," said Ariel who felt like she was never going to be as tight with Jasmine as she was with her other two friends

"But I am glad I have you. Since the other two are mad at me," said Jasmine as she tried to smile

"Thanks. Isn't that rude that Pocahontas chose Belle over you," blurted out Ariel. She didn't mean to say this she had no right to be rude to Pocahontas she had done nothing

"Oh she hasn't picked sides she still talks to me. I understand she knows I have you. Don't worry will work out this mess eventually," said Jasmine

Scene 3

"Hey John," said Eric trying to catch up with him

"Umm hi," said John not sure why he was talking to him. He had never said a word to him before except that night at the movies

"I was wondering what Ariel likes to do," said Eric as he started to scratch his head," I was thinking of asking her out but I don't know what she likes to do. And I thought who better to ask then her best friend."

"Ummmmm," said John who couldn't believe he was asking him this," She likes the beach because she loves the ocean. She loves to sing so anything that has to do with music she would love," he couldn't believe he was telling this bozo to try and help him. But he looked so helpless and he knew Ariel really liked him.

"Thanks I knew you would help. I could tell you were a nice guy," said Eric," Maybe we could hang one night?'

"Why would you want to hang out with me?" question John

"Because you're important to Ariel and you seem like a cool guy," said Eric

"I guess," said a puzzled John

"Well see you around," said Eric as he walked off

Scene 4

"Hey your here," said Aladdin who was not quite sure at what he just said.

"Yeah why wouldn't I," laughed Jasmine

"I really don't know," said Aladdin. He wasn't sure if Jasmine realized what an effect she had on him. Just the thought of her made him excited and when he saw her words just started blurting out of his mouth.

"So how is your bird house coming a long?" asked Jasmine? She and Aladdin had become good friends ever since the night where she confided in him. He was a good person to talk to he always made her feel better. But also she felt a bit nervous around him, she was always afraid she would say something stupid.

"Good I think the family who bought the house will be ready to move in soon," joked Aladdin.

"If I were them I wouldn't trust your handy work," teased Jasmine

"So want to hang out tonight," blurted Aladdin. He couldn't believe he just said that, he hoped she didn't freak and think it was a date. He didn't want to blow their friendship they had started

"Ummm," said Jasmine not sure what to think of this. Was this a date or as friends? She wanted to hang out with him she liked spending time with him and wanted to learn more about him ," Yeah that sounds like fun."

"Really!" exclaimed Aladdin," I mean yeah it will be fun."

"What were you thinking of doing?" asked Jasmine

"It's a surprise," smiled Aladdin

"A surprise will I like it?"

"Do you trust me?" asked Aladdin

"Yeah," smiled Jasmine

Scene 5

"Hey Pocahontas, I was wondering if you could help me with something?" asked Ariel.

"Sure?" asked an uncertain Pocahontas who did not know what to expect.

"I don't know if you're the meddling type. But I feel this Jasmine and Belle fight as gone on long enough. I miss us all hanging out in a group. Plus I figured it would benefit you because I am sure it's hard having your two best friends mad at each other." Said Ariel

"I am listening," said Pocahontas

Scene 6

It was lunch and Ariel and Pocahontas had planned out a way to get Belle and Jasmine in the same room to talk. Pocahontas was surprised how much she enjoyed spending time with Ariel. Maybe they had both been too quick to judge and just because of a boy. Ariel even apologized for being not the nicest lately.

"I am sorry if I was a complete witch to you last week. I guess I was just feeling bad for not being the greatest friend to John," said Ariel sincerely

"It's okay I wasn't the nicest back. And don't worry I will never take your place, your his best friend it's a irreplaceable position," said Pocahontas

"Yeah I don't mind sharing him I think you're a good friend for him," said Ariel who meant every word, "I think we could also be great friend too. Don't you think? "

"Yeah I do. You know I have never had a best friend because Belle and Jasmine have been friends since kindergarten. I mean I can never replace that bond even though I am really close to them and it's the same with you and John."

"I never had girls as friends. It is kind of a different type of friendship with a guy," said Ariel

"Yeah I guess it is," smiled Pocahontas, "Now let's go help our friends."

Scene 7

"Hey Belle I have to show you something, come with", said Pocahontas as she took Belle's hand

"Jasmine there is a fight in the library lets go watch, "said Ariel

"Where are we going?" questioned Belle

"The Library," said Pocahontas.

"Hey I don't see a fight," noted Jasmine she looked and saw Belle.

"So what do you want to show me," said Belle then looked up and saw Jasmine.

"I think I hear John calling us Pocahontas," lied Ariel.

"Oh better go see what he wants," said Pocahontas as they ran off.

"That was subtle," said a sarcastic Belle

"Really subtle," said Jasmine as the two girls started to laugh

"I'm sorry," said the two in unison.

"I was being selfish and stubborn," apologized Belle

"No I was the one lying," pleaded Jasmine

"Yeah but your my friend and your going through something," stated Belle, "But if you ever need to talk, I am here for you."

"I know," said Jasmine as she leaned in and gave her best friend a hug, "I really missed you."

"I'll take you out for dinner to make up for being such a bad friend," said Belle

"You weren't a bad friend," said Jasmine, "I'd love to go out but I am hanging out with Aladdin tonight."

"Aladdin? Me and you have some catching up to do," laughed Belle
