Chapter 5: It's All Real
Quick Disclaimer: I do not own anything Disney, characters, attractions or otherwise. I only own my 10 OC's and the unfolding plot of this story, so no flames please!
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Third Person P.O.V.
As they entered the castle, all the girls had one thing on their minds. Utter confusion. Rides trying to physically harm them, meeting the real Roger Rabbit? Even that unexplained chill in the air. What next? The ten girls trailed behind Roger, worried about what they had gotten themselves into.
"Ok, ladies. We have arrived," said Roger, opening one of the heavy wooden doors. The girls walked in, astounded at what they saw. Looking at them expectantly, and seriously, sat the 10 official princesses of Disney. On the right side of the table, sat some of the older ones. Snow White, Aurora, Belle, Ariel and Jasmine. On the left sat the newer girls, including Pocahontas, Mulan, Tiana and Rapunzel, the last of whom had been included earlier that year. Cinderella sat at the head of the table, giving the air of a leader, but that was to be expected, as it was her castle.
"Ah, girls. At last we meet." Everyone just stared, as Roger tried hard not to laugh at the girl's dumbfounded and slightly excited expressions. Chloe and Ivy tried to speak, but it came out more like chokes than words.
"Oh dear. They seem a bit intimidated," said Snow White, which helped Carmen find her tongue, a nervous laugh preceding her words.
"It's not that. We're just not used to seeing the real Disney princess all together. I mean, you are real aren't you?" The princesses looked at each other, and burst out laughing, the girls feeling slightly better.
"As real as the ground we stand on. As real as you girls" said Pocahontas, smiling warmly, her laugh still contained in her brown eyes. Her smile was friendly, her voice soothing, and the girls relaxed a little more. The princesses were good characters, and they were safe. Ashley and Julia still kept a slight defensive stance, their faces lined with suspicion.
"There is also a real, and very serious situation happening just within our gates," said Cinderella, all laughter dying down.
"Well yeah, we guessed that, but what's it got to do with us?" demanded Julia, clearly tired of not having straight answers.
"And more importantly, why were all of us nearly killed today!" said Ashley angrily, her green eyes flashing slightly.
"What do you mean killed? Did something happen on the rides?" asked Ariel, fiddling with the hem of her pink dress.
"You really don't know?" said Ashley, her eyes sparking with disbelief. They all shook their heads, their faces concerned and fearful now. Chloe cleared her throat.
"Right" she said, tucking her small amount of hair behind her ears. "This is going to sound crazy, but when the four of us, meaning myself, Carmen, Ashley and Ivy, rode the Haunted Mansion today, that psychotic bride nearly made us Permanent Residents!" she said shakily.
"Who's bright idea was it to give her a real axe?" said Ivy, looking at her nails. Carmen didn't answer, but looked imploringly at the princesses, who looked nervous.
"What about the rest of you?" asked Aurora, not meeting anyone's eyes. The others told them about the aliens on Buzz Lightyear and Blackbeard on Pirates, with their narrow escapes feeling more narrow by the second. At the end, all ten girls were glaring at the princesses, wanting questions to be answered.
"It's worse then we imagined" said Belle, her hands clasped in her lap.
"And by worse, we mean that this very park may be destroyed" said Rapunzel, her nervousness becoming more clear. The girls stopped glaring when they heard that. Disney World destroyed? It wasn't possible.
"But that can't be. This is the happiest place on earth! You know, the "darkness is vanquished, true love saves the day and good always triumphs kind of thing" said Zoey, Julia letting out a short laugh.
"Apparently that's not the case," she said, looking at the princesses angrily.
"We know, and the worst part is that we may not be able to stop it" said Mulan, who looked worried, which was really bizarre for her character.
"Wait a minute, hold up! What about your princes and err, true loves?" asked April, adding that last bit when she looked at Mulan and Pocahontas. "They've saved the day before, why not now?" They all looked sad, April immediately going quiet.
"We haven't heard from them or any of the other hero's for over 3 weeks now" said Tiana, wiping away a small tear. It was quiet for a moment, and then Emily voiced the question that was one everyone's mind.
"Even… Mickey?" she asked, instantly regretting to have asked, when everyone's face crumpled.
"He.. he was the first to disappear, and then everyone followed suit," said Snow White, her voice cracking as each word fell. She burst into tears, with Aurora pulling her into a hug.
"You have to understand. Snow was the closest out of all of us to Mickey, and that, along with the disappearance of her prince, has been very traumatic for her. "
Everyone nodded, even the more hard-core girls moved by the pain in this room.
"Well I'll say it, if no one else will. How can we help?" asked Carmen.
Hey, readers! I finally updated after weeks of writers block. I got re-inspired to write this story. I've kind of changed the plot a bit, but it's basically the same. For some reason, I really wanted to make Carmen the leader, just because she was the first character I came up with. More to come so please review!
