Chapter 5- Welcome
Greetings fellow Disney fans! I have returned with the fourth chapter (yay)! I promise that this time the chapter will be longer than the last chapter. Once again, thank you to those who have reviewed, favorited and/or began to follow my story, your support has helped make this story even better than I originally intended it to be on my part. I hope you all feel the same way. This next chapter will have the Arendellian sisters meet up with the other princesses. We will also be checking in with the villains and seeing what mayhem they will be causing! And now, on with the story!
After only a few minutes of riding, Anna, Elsa, Merida and Angus were soon even closer to the blue and white castle Anna and Elsa had seen before. Anna and Elsa looked up at the castle as they approached it in awe. It looked even more magnificent to them up close than it did from a distance. The beauty of the castle almost rivaled that of their own castle, though they would never admit it to anyone.
"Well, here we are," announced Merida as she dismounted Angus. After Anna and Elsa had dismounted and Merida had put Angus in the stables, the three made their way towards the castle, Anna chattering nonstop about what she thought would lie ahead. Elsa just silently listened to her sister babbling, thinking more about what everyone would think of her and whether or not they would accept her into the group.
Once they reached the castle door, Merida knocked. A few voices were heard from the other side of the door. After a few minutes, a young, strawberry blonde woman wearing a long, flowing and glittering slivery blue dress answered the door. Her eyes lit up with excitement upon seeing who her visitors were.
"Oh, good, you made it," she exclaimed in a soft, gentle voice, smiling just as softly. She then greeted and hugged Merida, then turned towards Anna and said, "You must be one of our new members!" Anna smiled excitedly and nodded enthusiastically. She then curtsied very quickly and shook the woman's hand excitedly. She then exclaimed, "I'm so excited to meet all of you!"
"As are we with you," said the woman politely. She then looked behind Merida and Anna to where Elsa was standing somewhat awkwardly.
"You must be our other newest addition," said the woman. Elsa, who was lost in her thoughts, was caught off guard by the woman's address towards her. She immediately composed herself, made her way to the other side of Anna and curtsied.
"I am queen Elsa of Arendelle, and this is my sister Princess Anna of Arendelle." Elsa, who had been very nervous ever since she and Anna left the others, sighed with relief when the other woman smiled at both her and Anna kindly. "I'm Cinderella." She, too, curtsied, and Elsa returned the curtsy. As she was doing so, she looked out of the corner of her eye to make sure Anna was doing the same. To her relief and surprise, she was. I guess she wasn't too excited to forget her manners, Elsa thought to herself. Cinderella then led Anna and Elsa into the castle, Merida following behind them. As they made their way through the elaborate foyer, Cinderella said, "Everyone else is already here, so we will get started soon." She then led them into a large, extravagant ballroom that once again rivaled that of the Arendellian castle. Many young women that looked around the same age as the two were milling about, chattering amongst each other and enjoying some refreshments from a table that was towards the back of the room. Immediately upon noticing the newcomers, a very young looking girl with short black hair with a red bow and a long, blue and yellow dress approached them, followed immediately by a slightly older, blonde woman dressed in a long, flowing pink gown. Merida decided to take this opportunity to see what refreshments were available, for she had not had a chance to enjoy them yet.
The two women smiled excitedly at the two newcomers. "Hello," said the blonde in a gentle voice. "You must be our new friends!" Anna and Elsa smiled and curtsied politely, and the other two returned their curtsies.
"I'm Aurora and this is Snow White," said the blonde. The younger girl smiled shyly and said in a very soft voice, "Hello, it's very nice to meet you."
"As with both of you," said Elsa. But, she wasn't sure they heard her because Anna was talking over her, as she often did. Elsa was a bit annoyed by this, but dismissed it this time, for she didn't want to cause another scene in public.
"I've heard so much about you guys," said Anna.
"All good, I hope," said Aurora.
"Of course," said Anna, giggling. All of a sudden, a young, red-haired woman with large, blue eyes approached the group, an excited look on her face.
"Are they here yet," she exclaimed. The other three smiled and gestured towards Anna and Elsa. The red-head turned towards the two, still smiling and said, "Hi, I'm Ariel." Anna and Elsa introduced themselves. Elsa curtsied at Ariel, who looked at her slightly confused. Then, a look of recognition crossed her face. She giggled slightly and said, "You don't need to be so formal." Elsa looked at her, confused. "I like handshakes better." Ariel stuck out her hand to prove her point. Anna excitedly shook it, relieved that she didn't have to curtsy this time. Elsa looked at the two, slightly shocked, as she wasn't used to addressing other royalty like this. But, she politely shook and smiled at Ariel.
"Ariel, Anna and Elsa are from the Kingdom of Arendelle," said Cinderella.
"Oooh, I've never heard of that place before," said Ariel excitedly.
"Really?! I would think everyone would've heard of Arendelle, especially after the incident last month," said Anna. Elsa gave Anna a look and she whispered, "What?"
"What happened," asked Aurora.
"Is everyone all right," asked Snow White.
"Yes, everyone is fine," said Elsa before Anna could say anything else. "We've managed to restore order in the kingdom, and everything is back to normal."
"What was the incident," asked Ariel. Anna was about to say something when Elsa spoke before she could.
"I'd rather not talk about it now."
"Okay," said Ariel, slightly disappointed. "Maybe some other time?"
Elsa looked at Ariel for a moment. Her expression reminded her of one Anna used when she was disappointed. Elsa knew that look all too well, and yet, she never seemed to be able to resist it. She also had just met Ariel, and she didn't want her to get upset. So, she smiled at Ariel and said, "All right." Ariel smiled at her excitedly. There was a brief pause. Then Ariel said, "Let's go meet everyone else!"
Before anyone else could say anything, Ariel raced off, dragging Elsa behind. Anna rushed to keep up with them. Anna and Elsa smiled politely at the other three, who watched Ariel and the new princesses with slight amusement as they left.
Ariel led the two to a long, banquet- style table, where a young, brunette woman dressed in a golden ball gown sat reading a book. She looked up, startled, upon hearing the clicking of Ariel's pink heels and Elsa's white ones. Her expression softened, however, once she noticed who had interrupted her reading.
"Oh, hello, Ariel," said the woman.
"Belle," said Ariel, smiling, "This is Anna and Elsa."
"Oh, you're the newcomers, correct," asked Belle. Anna and Elsa nodded.
"I'm currently reading about your kingdom, and it's very fascinating. I had no idea that ice played such an important role in your trade!"
"Yes, ice is one of our biggest commodities," said Elsa. The other three sat down while Anna, Elsa and Belle continued to talk more about Arendelle, with Ariel occasionally adding to the conversation some information she herself had learned about the kingdom. After about half an hour, Belle sighed dreamily and said, "Since I've been reading about Arendelle, I've been wanting to go."
"Me, too," said Ariel, slight disappointment in her voice.
"Well, maybe once we're finished here, you guys could come back with us," said Anna, looking at Elsa for confirmation. Elsa nodded her approval.
"That sounds like a fantastic idea," said Belle.
"Really," asked Ariel excitedly. Anna and Elsa nodded.
Ariel gasped excitedly and said, "I can't wait to tell Eric about this!"
"Who's Eric" asked Anna.
"My wonderful prince," said Ariel, smiling dreamily.
"Oh," said Anna slowly in understanding. Just then, Ariel gasped with excitement and called out to someone behind Belle. Everyone turned to see a young, Middle Eastern woman standing by the refreshment table. She approached the other three and stood by where Anna and Elsa were. The two stood up upon noticing the newcomer.
"You must be the new princesses," she said in a soft voice that Elsa thought any man would be attracted to. The woman smiled at the two and said, "I'm Princess Jasmine of Agrabah, but you can simply call me Jasmine." She then bowed towards the two, who returned the bow, a little caught off guard by the action.
"We were just discussing their kingdom and how much we'd like to go there," said Belle, coming up next to Jasmine. Upon hearing this, Jasmine's eyes lit up and she smiled enthusiastically.
"I've always wanted to go there as well. I've learned so much about it ever since I found out about you two joining us," she said excitedly.
"Anna and Elsa invited Eric and me to go back with them," said Ariel.
"As they did for Adam and me," said Belle.
"Well, that certainly sounds exciting," said Jasmine.
"You can come with us if you want to," said Anna. Elsa nodded in approval.
"I'll have to talk to my husband about it, but it sounds really exciting." The four women continued to talk about Arendelle. Ariel, meanwhile, went to go talk to Snow White and Aurora.
Once the girls were halfway into their conversation, Belle noticed someone standing by the window and looking out, somewhat mysteriously. She called the attention of the person, who was a young Native American woman, and gestured for her to join them.
"Pocahontas, these are our new friends Elsa and Anna," explained Belle. Pocahontas approached them and said in a somewhat quiet voice, "Hello. I'm Pocahontas." She then stuck out her hand for the two to shake, which Anna immediately returned. Elsa, however, was a little more hesitant because she still wasn't used to being so informal around people. Once the greetings were over, Pocahontas asked, "Where do you come from?"
"Arendelle," Anna replied excitedly. It was quiet for a moment. Pocahontas seemed to be thinking of something. Then she said, "Ah, yes, I've heard about your homeland."
"You have," asked Elsa, slightly nervous.
"Yes. My beloved has told me many stories of his adventures there."
"What kinds of stories," Elsa asked, again slightly nervous. There was a pause as Pocahontas tried to think of one. Then, she said, "He has told so many stories of his journeys that I have difficulty separating what he did in which location. But, I do remember one story in particular he told me." Pocahontas then smiled and slightly chuckled. "It's actually, as you say 'funny,' in a way. A thief stole some of my beloved's goods and he caught the thief just as he was getting away. But then, the thief wanted to make a deal with him. So, my beloved asked him for a tour of the kingdom. But, he then found out that the thief was not from Arendelle either, rather a neighboring kingdom. The two never heard from each other since that day. That is, until a few years ago when we were welcoming one of our members into the group, and the princes were welcoming her beloved into theirs. The new prince turned out to be the thief that my beloved had encountered! But, he has chosen a different path than before and has realized that stealing is wrong."
"Hm, I wonder who it was," said Elsa.
Belle gave Jasmine a knowing look, who responded with a look of confusion.
"What," she asked.
"I think I know who the thief was," said Belle.
"If you're thinking it was Aladdin, then you're wrong. He's never been to Arendelle. At least, not that I know of," replied Jasmine, almost defensively.
Pocahontas shook her head and said, "It was not Aladdin."
"Then who was it," asked Jasmine.
"I think I may know," said Belle, giving the others another knowing look.
"Really, you do," asked Anna. "Who is he?"
"I'm going to let you figure that out on your own, since I don't think he'd appreciate it if I revealed his former identity to you," said Belle.
"Oh," said Anna, slightly disappointed. She then gasped and ran over to the refreshment table where a plate piled high with pieces of chocolate in various colors and flavors sat. Anna immediately went for the chocolate and began scarfing it down.
As Belle, Jasmine and Pocahontas talked amongst themselves; Elsa watched her sister devour the chocolate in mock disapproval and smiled to herself. She, too, wanted to go over and help her sister eat as much chocolate as they could, but, unlike Anna, she resisted the urge and decided to wait until later. Instead, she decided to keep an eye on her sister to make sure she didn't cause trouble or make a fool of herself, as she was known to do in the past. Elsa was so focused on what her sister was doing that she was unaware that someone was next to her until she heard a voice say, "Excuse me." Elsa turned to see a young Asian woman smiling at her. "You must be one of the new princesses. I'm Fa Mulan, but you can just call me Mulan." She then bowed in a similar way to Jasmine. Elsa returned the bow, now used to the different customs of the other princesses.
"I'm Queen Elsa of Arendelle," said Elsa, smiling at Mulan. Mulan then looked around and said to Elsa, "I wonder where the other new princess is?"
Elsa smiled and asked, "You mean Anna? She's over there." She gestured towards where Anna was still stuffing her face with chocolate, much to Elsa's embarrassment. Elsa became even more embarrassed when Mulan chuckled.
"I know, she can be a bit embarrassing to even me, but she means well," said Elsa.
"Oh I know that," said Mulan. "I just find it kind of funny."
Elsa looked at her, slightly confused. Mulan then explained, "I like that about her. It shows everyone else that she's unique and her own person." Elsa then looked relieved. She felt a little better knowing at least one person besides her and their friends accepted Anna for who she was, and Mulan hadn't even met her yet. That is, until Elsa called Anna over. Anna grabbed a plate and filled it with even more chocolate and rushed over.
"Don't you think you've had enough chocolate," asked Elsa. Anna gasped in shock and exclaimed to Elsa, "Elsa! You of all people should know that you can never have enough chocolate!"
Elsa chuckled and said, "That's true." She then reached out and took one of Anna's chocolates from her plate. As Elsa savored the candy, Anna gasped and complained, "Hey! Get your own!" Elsa just smiled at Anna. She then noticed Mulan standing off to the side slightly awkwardly, so she said, "Mulan, this is my sister Princess Anna of Arendelle." Mulan approached Anna and bowed.
"It's a pleasure meeting you," she said. Anna also bowed and exclaimed, "You, too!" The three then made their way to the refreshment table because Elsa wanted more chocolate and Mulan hadn't gotten a chance to see what was offered yet. They then talked about their kingdoms and what they were like. Well, Elsa and Mulan were. Anna was admiring the plethora of other offerings on the table, which was mostly cake, candy and various other baked goods. There was also a bowl of nuts and pitchers of water and glasses on the table. Anna finally decided to stop eating chocolate for the time being, wanting to save some for Elsa and the other princesses. As she was pouring herself a glass of water, she heard a female southern voice say, "I take it y'all like the chocolate?" Startled, Anna jumped, almost spilling the water she had just poured into her glass. She then looked slightly embarrassed at a young, African- American woman, who smiled at her apologetically.
"Sorry about that," apologized the woman.
Anna then said, "Oh, no, I should be the one apologizing. I mean-not that you shouldn't apologize, you definitely should, but I just thought I should too, because, you know, it's polite and all that, and we both are princesses…" The other woman then stopped her politely. Anna once again looked at the woman, embarrassed.
"Sorry, was I talking too much?"
"It's fine." The two were quiet for a moment and then Anna said, "I'm Anna. I'm one of the new princesses." She stuck out her hand for the woman to shake, which she returned. "I'm Tiana," said the woman, smiling. Anna returned her smile.
"There's so much food here," said Anna, once again looking at the wide variety of edible goods on the table. Tiana smiled and said, "We all pitched in and each made a little somethin' for the occasion."
"You guys made all this?" Tiana nodded. Then she asked, "Do you like beignets?"
"What's a beignet?" Tiana picked up a plate with square light brown pastries on them covered in a white, powdery substance that reminded Anna of snow. Anna looked at Tiana questioningly, and Tiana smiled. "My specialty," she said proudly. Anna reached out and took one of the squares, then took a bite. As it turned out, it was one of the most delicious things she'd ever tasted. When she told Tiana this, she smiled and thanked Anna. She then said, "Y'all should come to New Orleans and visit my restaurant sometime."
"You have a restaurant," exclaimed Anna. Tiana nodded. Just then, Elsa joined the two.
"I hope she's not causing any trouble," she said in a teasing voice. Anna gave Elsa a fake glare. Tiana and Elsa then introduced themselves to each other. Then, Anna said excitedly, "Elsa! Guess what?! Tiana owns her own restaurant!"
"You do," asked Elsa, turning to Tiana. Tiana nodded in confirmation. The three then continued to talk about Tiana's restaurant, and they shared a little bit about Arendelle with Tiana as well. After a few minutes, the three heard someone gasp excitedly and call out Anna and Elsa's names. They all turned to see a young woman with short, brown hair running towards Anna and Elsa, a very excited look on her face.
"Rapunzel," asked Anna. "You're a part of this group, too?" Rapunzel nodded excitedly and both girls hugged enthusiastically. Elsa then approached Rapunzel and gave her a hug, which she returned.
"It's so good to see you again, Rapunzel," Elsa then said with a warm smile.
"You too, Elsa," responded Rapunzel excitedly.
"Y'all know each other," asked Tiana. All three nodded.
"We're cousins," explained Elsa. Tiana nodded in understanding.
"Have you gotten a chance to meet everyone else yet," asked Rapunzel to the Arendellian sisters. Both nodded again, Anna a little more enthusiastic than Elsa.
"What did you think of everyone," asked Rapunzel.
"They seem nice," said Elsa. Anna nodded in agreement. After a few more minutes of catching up with each other, Tiana politely interrupted their conversation and said, "Sorry to interrupt, but Cindy wanted me to let y'all know that we're ready to start." All three then followed Tiana to the banquet table where the other princesses were already seated. Elsa and Anna sat themselves between Rapunzel and Mulan and then the meeting began.
Cinderella stood from her spot at the head of the table and cleared her throat. Once she got everyone's attention, she smiled and said, "All right everyone. I would like to take this opportunity to welcome our newest members into our club." Everyone then turned towards Elsa and Anna and applauded. Both girls were a bit embarrassed, but smiled and waved politely at the others as they were trained to do. Once the applause died down, Cinderella then said, mostly to Anna and Elsa, "As we have done with previous princesses, the others and I will ask you two a series of questions in order to get to know you better. A new rule we established when Pocahontas was being introduced to our group was that you do not have to answer any question that you do not feel comfortable with answering." Anna and Elsa both exchanged relieved glances with each other. Rapunzel then turned towards the sisters and gave them an encouraging smile, which they returned.
"Each of us will ask you one question," continued Cinderella, "Since we have two newcomers this time, the question can be for either one of you, or it can be for both of you." There was a slight pause. Then, Cinderella continued, "We will then share with all of you anything any or all of us have in common." She then addressed the other princesses by saying, "We'll go around the table in order of where you are seated, starting with Mulan." Everyone's attention turned towards Mulan, who looked like she was deep in thought. After a few minutes, she asked, "What was the bravest thing you both have ever done?" Anna and Elsa looked at each other, silently asking each other if now was the time to reveal the incident of the month before. Rapunzel also looked at the two sisters, half worried about what they were going to say. Finally, Elsa answered for the both of them, "I think Anna and I can both agree that our bravest moment was when we had to defend not only our kingdom, but each other." It was then silent as everyone else waited for Elsa to continue. When she didn't, Belle, who was sitting next to Mulan, asked with great interest, "What happened?" Anna and Elsa looked at each other, secretly asking each other what they should say next. Then, Anna took a deep breath and told everyone about what had happened the month before, with Elsa adding anything Anna forgot.
Meanwhile, in the Forbidden Mountains, Maleficent stood by the entrance to her lair. A young, distinguished looking man, Prince Hans, stood next to her, looking around in slight fear.
"Remind me why I'm here again," asked Hans.
"Because my colleagues and I have decided to include you in our group, and you need to prove yourself worthy of being with us," said Maleficent, slightly annoyed, for this was not the first time he had asked her this question.
"I still don't get it," said Hans. Maleficent just sighed in an annoyed way and said to herself, "Where are they?!" As if to answer her question, Diablo then flew in, followed by a middle aged woman in a maroon dress with a black cape, a muscular man in a red shirt, a brown lion with a black mane, a pirate dressed in red, a woman in a fur coat; another, mysterious-looking woman in a maroon dress, a tiger, a python, a plump woman dressed in a red, black and yellow dress and carrying a red, heart-shaped scepter, a rat dressed in a black cape and matching hat; and a skinny African-American man dressed in red and purple and wearing a black hat with a skull and crossbones. They were Gothel, Gaston, Scar, Captain Hook, Cruella DeVil, Lady Tremaine, Shere Khan, Kaa, Queen of Hearts, Ratigan and Dr. Facilier.
"Well," asked Maleficent, slightly angry.
"Well, what," asked Gothel. "We're here, aren't we?"
"That you are," stated Maleficent. "But not all of you are here." She then angrily glared at Diablo and yelled at him. "Where are they?!" As if to answer her question, a male voice behind her said, "Whoa, whoa, whoa, will you relax? Sheesh, not all of us have as much time as you do." Everyone turned around to see a grey being with blue flames, who was Hades, Lord of the Underworld.
"Indeed," said a Middle-Eastern man in red robes, Jafar, as he came into the room, slightly annoyed. "Do you have any idea how long it takes to get here from the Underworld?!"
"If you'd only use your powers instead of walking, it wouldn't be that bad," snapped Hades at Jafar.
"I would've, but someone failed to mention this to me!"
"I told you the last time I brought you back to life, it's easier to teleport from place to place. Come on, you're a magical being, you should know that!"
"Ugh! Do you two ever stop fighting," shouted an older woman with purple skin, rubbing her forehead as she came in. The woman's name was Yzma.
"She's right," said a beautiful young brunette woman in a long, black dress as she strutted into the room. "Fighting can be so irritating." She then noticed Hans made her way over to him, saying to him in a seductive voice, "Hello, handsome."
"Oy! Really," exclaimed Hades, rubbing his forehead in annoyance. Jafar glared at him, and he glared back.
To Hans's delight, the woman then stood very close to him and said, "I'm Vanessa." She then leaned in, as if she was going to kiss him. Just then, a puff of magic smoke came up. Once it was gone, the woman disappeared and in her place was a half-octopus woman named Ursula. The man stared at the being, shocked. Ursula chuckled and said, "Works every time," with a smirk. The other villains, minus the newcomer, chuckled amongst themselves and smirked at each other. Hans glared at everyone else and muttered, "Haha, very funny."
"Oh, come on, you gotta admit that was a good one," said Hades.
"Might I remind you that you were the same way when you first met her," asked Captain Hook. Hades gave Hook a look and said, "Touché." His attention then went to Hans.
"So, you're the new guy, huh," he asked. Hans nodded.
"Don't take this the wrong way, but you don't exactly look like a villain."
Hans looked offended. "Excuse me! I'll have you know that I tried to take over a whole kingdom!"
"Yeah, and so did a lot of us," said Hades, unimpressed.
At this point, Hans became more and more annoyed with Hades.
As the two continued to argue, Maleficent asked Lady Tremaine, slightly irritated, "I still do not see everyone present."
"Unfortunately they were not able to make it," said Lady Tremaine. "But they send their regrets."
"And why, might I ask, are they not here?"
"Grimhilde was too busy making more of her apples, Stromboli had a show, Honest John and Coachman were helping him, we were unable to convince Monstro to leave the sea, Chernabog, Medusa, Prince John, McLeach, Doris and Turbo were nowhere to be found, Si and Am are ill, Mim is- well you know, and Hades was unable to bring back Horned King, Shan Yu and Clayton.
"And Gantu?"
Lady Tremaine groaned in irritation, "Do not even mention that traitor to me!"
Maleficent glared at Lady Tremaine, which was a signal for her to give her more information.
"Gantu has betrayed us and decided to become 'good.'" Maleficent's eyes grew wide with horror. Before she could say anything else, however, she overheard Cruella say to Hades and Hook, "Sorry to interrupt your bickering, but I believe we have more important matters to attend to."
"Cruella is correct, we must start with our meeting immediately," said Maleficent to the other four. Everyone then made their way towards a table made out of stone with a matching bench.
As they made their way to the table, Maleficent said quietly to Lady Tremaine, "We will deal with Gantu at a later time." Lady Tremaine nodded.
"This had better be worth leaving the jungle," murmured Shere Khan to Kaa as they approached the table, glaring at him. Kaa nervously nodded in agreement. It was he who encouraged Shere Khan to attend the meeting, since the tiger didn't like interacting with humans. The only reason why he came was because there was the possibility of at least one human getting harmed, and whenever that happened, Shere Khan was happy.
Once everyone introduced themselves to the newcomer, Maleficent announced, "I have gathered you all here today to discuss a very important matter." She paused dramatically and looked around the table. She then continued, "It appears there has been a slight misunderstanding with the identity of one of the newcomers." Immediately, Hans became offended. "Excuse me," he asked.
"The person I am referring to is not you," stated Maleficent, slightly annoyed. Hans sighed in relief. He wanted to be considered a villain rather than a prince because being a villain meant more power. "Rather, it is one of the princesses," continued Maleficent. Immediately after she said this, the room broke out into curious and interested murmurs amongst each of the villains.
"Silence," shouted Maleficent, regaining the other villains' attention. Some of them secretly rolled their eyes, annoyed by Maleficent's act of authority over them.
"It's not that frizzy-haired one, is it," asked Dr. Facilier. Maleficent shook her head 'no.'
Gaston immediately gasped with joy. "Belle finally realized that I'm the right guy for her!"
"It is not Belle, Gaston," said Maleficent. Gaston gave her a disappointed look.
"Well, then, who is it," asked the Queen of Hearts impatiently.
"It is the newest princess," stated Maleficent. Upon hearing this, Hans paid especially close attention to what Maleficent was saying. Maleficent then proceeded to tell her fellow villains about what she had seen before they arrived and why she thought they should intervene. They all then discussed ways they would make their move. Little did they know they were being watched.
Up on a ledge that overlooked a table, two mice and a blue dog-looking alien crouched, being sure to remain out of sight from the villains.
"D-Do you see anything, Stitch," whispered one of the mice who was brown and dressed in a red sweater and a brown hat. The alien, who was acting as the lookout for the three, took one last glance before turning to the mice. "Naga. Just talking," he said quietly.
"Can you hear what they're talking about," murmured the other mouse who was white and wearing a purple wrap and matching hat.
Stitch leaned closer off the edge of the ledge, while still managing to stay hidden. After a few minutes, he pointed at the villains and started chattering in his native alien language. The mice came closer towards Stitch, who said, "Evil plot. Going to hurt new princess."
The two mice looked at each other and gasped in shock.
"W-what else are they saying," asked the brown mouse. Stitch listened again. Then he said, "Kidnap her. Make her villain, then take over kingdom."
The mice looked at each other with worry.
"We must warn the others," stated the brown mouse courageously. The other two agreed, then made their way out of the Forbidden Mountains and to the Magic Kingdom.
(In Toy Story alien voice) Oooh, cliffhanger! (end alien voice) Sorry to end the chapter like this, but how else will I at least attempt to convince you to keep reading? Anyways, I once again apologize for the extremely long delay in posting this, but good work takes time. I also apologize for any OOCs. If there are any, please let me know. On the plus side, I managed to make this chapter longer; I just hope it's not too long. On a side note, I have found listening to Disney music really helps me concentrate and focus on writing my story and all Disney fics I write, it helps me get into the mood and theme of the story. Please continue to review and give me feedback on this chapter, I really appreciate it. Until next time!
