So it's my birthday! And I thought I'd be sweet and upload two chapters in a week. I've finally found a weekly schedule that seems to be steady and easy for me to keep up with so hopefully updates won't ever be sporadic again...really...I mean it this time. Also I'm always on the lookout for a Beta so if anyone wants to help me out with that, give me a holla. On with the show!

The following week found the six huddled in Subira's room once again, celebrating Rapunzel and Anna's find.

"Guys, are you sure I need to-"

"Yes," Belle interrupted. The six had gathered to continue their strategy in plan Help Subira Win The Crown. "Every Disney Princess has a love interest Subira. It doesn't mean you have to fall in love him. It doesn't even mean you have to be married by the end of the film," she placated from her spot on the rug, pencil and paper in hand.

"Yeah, Kristoff and I aren't married," Anna added as Rapunzel plaited her hair into smaller woven braids. Mulan was trying desperately to do the same to Merida's hair but found the Scottish girl had made it her personal mission to be difficult.

"Exactly and neither are Shang and I," Mulan gritted as Merida purposefully unraveled a perfect braid.

"There just needs to be the hint," Belled added.

"Trust me, lass. Just because you have one for the competition doesn't mean he'll be written into the film," Merida added as she joined Subira on the bed.

"Fine. What does he look like?"

"He's about your height not much taller, in fact the more I think about it he might be shorter than you," Rapunzel described.

"He walks around shirtless," Anna muttered.

"Buff?"

"Merida!" Mulan chastised blushing hard.

"Very buff," Rapunzel chuckled. "Dark skinned and very handsome. He has the most adorable innocent face and-"

"What did you say?" Subira asked sitting up quickly.

"About his baby face or-"

"No, the dark skin. He has dark skin? Like...my skin?"

"Just about. Why?" Anna described.

"It's just, I'm not complaining and I love you guys, it's just that I'm just used to being surrounded by people lighter than me. This is new."

"Yeah, it is," Merida rationed. "What's his name, Anna?"

"Amadi, I think." Subira jumped up from the bed startling the other five.

"Amadi?!" She turned to Rapunzel. "Does he wear his hair in locs?"

"Yeah, why?"

"I don't believe it," she muttered. Her fingertips had begun sparking again.

"Subi, what's going on?" Mulan asked.

"I have to find him. Which dorm is he in?"

"None. He stays in the menagerie."

"I have to find him," Subira exclaimed as she raced out of her room clad only her nightdress.

"Subi," Rapunzel screeched as the five followed her into the night. "You're not even dressed!"

The African Queen could only thank her lucky stars that she had re-mastered illumination spells, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to see her own fingers as she searched the grounds for Amadi. Her eyes lit up at the menagerie entered her line of sight. She sprinted past the university monument and made it halfway across the fields before hurdling to the ground.

"Gotcha! Now tell us what's going on!"

"Merida! That's not fair," Subira whined. Harsh breaths caught up with them soon.

"Is she alright?" Rapunzel asked as Merida stood Subira to her feet.

"Is she still craz-Ow!"

"Guys, you'd understand if you'd just let me go see Amadi."

"Not without clothes," Rapunzel insisted handing Subira a purple frock she had snatched from her closet.

"Fine," she responded as she quickly magicked it on. "Now take my hand." The five joined hands and stood in a small circle. "And don't distract me because I've only done this once."

"Wait, what?" Anna squealed.

"Napenda kwenda, napenda kuruka, kuchukua mimi Amadi," Subira chanted under her breath. The six stood in complete silence as they were enveloped by golden light. Their bodies slowly fragmented and a soft wind scoped them up and carried them to their destination.

"Well guys, its about that time," said Amadi as he made his way into the lions den, no longer fearful of them. All it took was a simple shake of the rack of meat he had in his hand for him to find himself covered in fur and rough, wet tongues.

"Alright, alright, I get it. you're happy to see me!" He said as he reached a hand out to pet his new friends. First the lioness who had protected him from the start, "Hey Kiara," then her mate, "Hi Kovu," then her parents, "How you been Old Man?" Simba nudged him in response before attacking one of the racks of meat Amadi had brought. He chuckled as Nala approached and greeted him with a sweet lick on the cheek which spoke volumes seeing as she had to lean up to reach it and Amadi knew that her back had been killing her lately. "Good Evening Nala," he responded as he handed her, her own rack of meat to attack. He almost toppled over as a gaggle of cubs began attacking his feet and trying, well, trying and failing to climb his leg so they could play. Amadi grin and picked up Amira, Kiara and Kovu's youngest and tiniest cub. She snarled playfully and tried desperately to climb her way to the top of Amadi's head. Snuggling her with his nose he asked, "Now what are you trying to do 'Mira? Eat me?" She squeaked in response and opened her mouth wide. "You know I'm too big for you. You'd never finish," he said as he plopped himself down, allowing the other cubs to pile on top of him. He chuckled as Amira's two older sisters, Imani and Najee, shooed them away and settled next to him. "Hey, they weren't bothering me." Najee snorted and laid her head across Amadi's lap. "Oh I see. You're the one who wants attention," he said as he began petting her. Imani purred, nudged Amadi's head and starred at him expectantly. "And I guess you want to hear the rest of yesterdays story, huh?" she licked his cheek in response. Amadi sighed and smiled, recalling the bright smile that had always brought him joy. "Alright, where were we? Oh right! So the beautiful African Queen eventually decided to get closer to her lowly servant. She woke him the next morning, before she had even spread her sunshine across her kingdom, and took him to her secret garden where no one but she and her Father had ever been. Just as she opened…the…gate…what?" Amadi stuttered as the center of the menagerie began to glow startling the other lions. The cubs surrounded him once more and Kovu and Kiara, along with Simba and Nala stood to their feet, prepared to protect. Amadi gasped as the silhouette of six ladies began forming. "I know that glow." His African Queen turned quickly and once again her smile lit up his world.

"'Madi!" she squealed as she rushed into his arms. "I missed you so much! How long have you been here? And you're finally taking care of animals? I always knew you would make i-" The five others gasped as Amadi silenced the ecstatic Queen with deep kiss, caressing her cheeks and causing her body to melt into his embrace. Rapunzel giggled and shouldered Anna.

"Told'ja, he was the one!"

Subira sighed as she shut the door to her dorm once again. She turned and was greeted with five cheshire grins. She chuckled and plopped unto the bed.

"He was the son of one of my fathers servants. We grew up together, we were best friends and when I ascended he became one of the only servants I allowed near me."

"And you liked him?" Rapunzel leered.

"He liked me," Subira said with the snort.

"Well, that was pretty obvious," Merida quipped.

"So why didn't you mention him before?" Mulan asked. Subira's smile fell abruptly.

"Um…I may have…hit him once," she sputtered, her eyes cast down.

"What?" Anna gasped.

"I…," Subira sighed. "He was pressing me. Determined to find out why I wouldn't allow him-anyone-to touch me. I snapped and my magic reacted." Subira sniffed woefully. "I was scared he'd never want to speak to me again and, what's worse is, I wouldn't have questioned it."

"Oh sweetheart," Rapunzel said as she and Anna stood to embrace their friend.

"Well, judging by that kiss it seems like he's forgiven you," said Merida.

"Yes and now that he's here, it looks like there's a chance for you two to get to know each other all over again, without the curse looming over you," Belle reasoned.

"I guess, I mean after I hurt him I took him to my secret garden where I kept my statues and told him the truth. But we never got the chance to explore our relationship any further."

"Then I know what you're doing tomorrow," Rapunzel exclaimed. "You're going on a date with Amadi!"

"But-"

"Don't Subi," Anna interjected. "'Punzie's been in love with the idea of you two together since she met him. You're going on that date." Subira snorted with a grin.

"Bossy Princesses!"

Rapunzel ships it!
