Eventually all were guessed. Hassiah first because she was easy. Cornflowerariel got her first though, and nowNlaterqueen got Freya, Erick, and after a second guess she got Nikia too. For those that don't know already, they were Aladdin and Jasmine (obviously), Hiccup and Astrid, and Pocahontas and John Smith.
"Don't worry little brother, you'll do fine." Came the teasing voice of Lily. She flipped the cursed strand of golden brown hair that never left her face out of her eyes. It was her baby brothers first day of High School classes. She and Rose were having a fun time scaring him about it, though Rose seemed genuinely interested in helping him, Lily was just having her fun. She wasn't at all worried about Richard. He never cared much about fitting in.
"Thanks for your concern girls." He said with a laugh. As the youngest he'd learned to take their teasing as it came. They always meant well.
"Hey, I really am concerned!" Rose said in mock offence. "But I'm sure you'll do fine anyways. Who knows, maybe you'll be a lady killer?" She joked. Lily broke into uproarious laughter.
It wasn't that he wasn't cute. On the contrary, he was tall with smooth brown hair, pretty green eyes, and a sharp dresser to boot. He was just a little anti-social. He'd rather have a book in his hands than a pretty girl. On top of that, he had a pretty bad temper.
His sister Rose looked similar to him, with long chestnut brown hair and the same skin tone, only with light blue eyes, the same that Lily had.
Richard frowned. "Hey! I could if I wanted to!"
"I'll believe that when I see it." She joked.
"I bet you I can get a girl to fall for me in a week!" He said defensively
"You're on!" Lily said.
"Guys! Stop it!" Rose yelled, glaring at the pair. "Are you really betting that he can play with some poor girl's emotions?"
They both looked at the marble floors. Sometimes the two of them got so locked in competition that they forget anyone involved, or the effect it might have on other people.
"Sorry." They grumbled. Rose was the middle child, but sometimes in the middle of their bickering, she acted like the eldest when Lily was being immature.
"Now go to your classes before you're late." She said before walking off.
Rose took notes diligently in her English Lit class. First class or not, she still wanted to take down everything she could. Right now it was mostly syllabus stuff, so she wrote down the things she needed here and there. Before long a piece of balled up paper hit on the side of the said. She looked to her side to see Ricky two seats away and rolled her eyes. He'd been her best friend since middle school. They'd met, and found that their parents ruled neighboring Kingdoms. At first his cocky attitude was off putting to her, but she'd warmed up to him. She was quick to remind him when he'd step too far in his egotistical and womanizing ways. Heck, sometimes he'd even flirt with her! But she knew it was all for fun with them. She picked it up and un-balled it, making sure their teacher wasn't paying attention.
Hey Flower-She rolled her eyes at his nickname for her. Because of her name and his Kingdoms association with flowers, he'd given her the nickname Flower to annoy her at random times.- How ya been all summer? Besides my birthday I haven't seen you!
She'd spent most of her summer in her parent's library, although it was technically her mothers, she was happy to share. Once again making sure she wouldn't get caught, she scribbled down a response.
Shouldn't you be paying attention, your majesty? And I've been reading, my mother's library knows no bounds. Oh yes, your birthday ball…I seem to recall you ditching me to go spend some quality time with another Princess.
She rolled her eyes at the memory and sent the note his way. She went back to taking notes, but only got so far until the piece of paper landed on her desk again.
Oh come on! It's the first day, Rose. Just because you write down everything that happens doesn't mean everyone does! Figures you'd spend your summer nerding it up. I can't believe you'd rather READ than spend summer with me! Do you know how many girls would kill for that?
How humble are you? Anyways, as fun as it sounds to be a part of your harem I'll p-
Her writing was interrupted by someone grabbing the paper off her desk. She hesitantly looked up to see the furious eyes of her teacher. She gave a sheepish smile, and before she could stop it, her teacher looked over the notes she'd been passing.
"Miss…Rose, is it? Passing notes on the first day does not make for a bright semester." She said with a sneer. "Now you and Mr. Richard-"
"Ricky!"
"Mr. Ricky to the Deans office. I'll not have these disruptions."
"On the first day?" Rose asked incredulously. "You don't understand, I was trying to stop! Does this really warrant a trip to Dean Walt's Office?"
"You might not be, but some people are here to learn. Now don't make it worse by resisting. Go."
Rose sighed in defeat. Her mother was going to have her head for this. She glared at Ricky as she marched past him and out the door.
As soon as they were a safe distance from the classroom he finally spoke.
"So how much sucking up am I going to have to do for you to forgive me?" He asked.
She scoffed. "If you think some sucking up is going to make this any better you're insane, Richard."
It was one of those tones, the same tone his mother used when she liked to pull out his full name, his dreaded full name, which told him he wasn't getting out of this so easily.
"Alright, alright. If you're so worried about getting in trouble, why don't we just not go to the office?"
"And get in more trouble?" She asked. "I think you've caused me enough grief for one day."
"Come on, Flower!" He nudged her with his elbow. "The office is so busy with freshman, they have bigger problems than two kids who got caught passing one little note. Let's just go relax by the archery fields, who's gonna know?"
"I'll know." She insisted. She seemed to be thinking it over. Really, he was right. It wasn't that Rose was above breaking rules, but she took school really seriously. Then again, her teacher really wouldn't listen to reason…so what was the use in bugging the Dean with such a small offence? One look in his pleading emerald gems and she knew she'd oblige no matter what she thought was right.
"You're a bad influence on me, you know that Ricky?"
"Me?" He asked in mock offense.
"Yes, you." She insisted as they walked outside and were graced by blinding sunlight.
"You know you could get into a lot of trouble talking to the crown prince of Corona like that."
"Yes, but considering you're father favors me over you, something tells me I'll get away with it." She retorted, lifting the bottom of her dress to sit on the stands, he quickly followed suit and soon they were immersed in a battle of witty retorts. They spent a few minutes like that before they were interrupted by the yelling of a girl.
"Coach, you can't be serious!" The girl yelled. The two inched down the stands closer, so they could see what's going on.
"I'm sorry Mai, but 4:00 Yesterday was you're appointed time to try out for the team." He said apologetically. "You didn't show up and I'm only now getting an excuse! The list of those who got in will be posted in a few days and I'm sorry to say you won't be on it."
"But I've been on this team since Freshman year, I'm your best shooter! And I told you why I was late! Why can't I just try out now?" She begged.
Ricky and Rose looked at each other questioningly.
"That may be, but I can't give you special treatment."
"The one coach that won't give their players special treatment." She said with a roll of her eyes. "Please!" She begged. "I have to be on this team! My parents are expecting it!"
He looked thoughtful for a moment. "I'll tell you what, if you can beat every member of the current team in a shoot off, you're on the team."
"You expect me to beat 15 plus girls?" She asked. She thought of her chances. "Alright, you're on. When and where?"
"The list of current team members will be posted the day after tomorrow. Meet here 3:30 sharp, my girls will be ready, so bring your game." He said playfully.
It would be a tough win, but she could do it. She just knew it. She went up to the stands to relax before her next class. Mai was a pale little thing, with almond shaped eyes of brown and ebony hair that was piled atop her head in a bun. She wore a red kimono with white accents, that seemed way to feminine for someone who'd just haggled her way onto the archery team.
She looked up to see two pairs of eyes staring at her. She raised an eyebrow. "Yeah…?" She asked them.
"Oh, I'm sorry!" Rose said. "I didn't mean to stare it's just…did you just make an appointment to take on the entire archery team by yourself?" She asked.
Mai nodded. "The coach knows how important being on the team is to me, so he gave me another chance. I knew he would, he can be such a softy sometimes." She said with a laugh.
"Not to be rude or anything, but why is it so important to you?" Ricky asked. "I mean, I've heard of you, you're the girl who can out-boy and guy at this school, couldn't you join some other team?"
"Archery's just what I'm best at." She shrugged. "I mean, unless a Karate class pops up, archery's my best bet. And for two years I've been the best on that team, but I couldn't be the leader because I wasn't the right grade. Now I'm an upperclassmen, so I can finally be captain." She said with an excited smile.
"But why is being captain so important?" Rose asked.
"Oh come on, you're a princess. You have to know what it's like to come from greatness. To be compared to them all the time." She said with a shrug. "My parents are war heroes. My older brothers the best at everything he does, and my younger brothers the baby. I just want one thing that's mine." She said with a sigh. "This year it is so mine." She said with determination.
"Well I admire you're spirit." Rose said. "Too bad about the time though." She said.
"Why?"
"Well, you only have a few hours to size up your competition. Act brave all you want, you're facing 15 girls, and knowing is half the battle."
She shrugged. "Most of them are returns from last year, and I know how they work." She shrugged. "I have a feeling the only new ones will be freshman, and I can beat them with a blindfold on. A few hours is all I'll need to see what they have."
"I like a girl who knows what she wants and how to get it." Ricky said with a laugh. "Y'know I could seriously use some help in Phys. Ed, you think you could tutor me?"
"Ricky you got an 'A' in P.E. last year." Rose said. Mai gave him an unamused look that told him that even if Rose didn't ruin it, she wouldn't have bought it.
"I apologize for him, Mai." She said with a laugh. The bell rang. "Well, we should be going. I think we're in enough trouble without skipping two classes. But it was nice meeting you, see you around!" Rose said as she dragged Ricky away.
"Bye!" She waved.
Rose walked through her door and collapsed on her bed. After a long day of classes and hearing Ricky talk about how amazing his painting class was, she wanted to sleep. Her roommate, Demi, wasn't back yet, which gave Rose just enough time for a nap before homework. She snuggled herself in, and hoped for an easier day tomorrow.
Well, there's the second chapter! :D
Y'know the drill, guess one or all of the kids parents (Mai, Ricky, and Rose and her siblings) and you chose who shows up next ;)
You can also chose villains kids too, but don't expect the pairings to be anything you expected, they're all crossovers xD
