Aladdin came home to chaos. To this day, he wonders why he was surprised at all.
Every single boy in the orphanage was out in the yard, even Milo and Lewis, who normally stayed inside to read or study. They were all standing around a car that was parked in the driveway, shouting and throwing whatever they had in their hands at the windows. Out of the cacophony, Aladdin heard Slightly, a Lost Boy, shout: "LET 'EM GO, LET 'EM GO!" and a muffled wail. He was so enthralled by the scene he didn't notice the Headmistress behind the crowd of boys, holding a green hose.
She hitched up her skirt, and planted her feet firmly on the ground. With a click, a jet of water shot from the nozzle and pelted the kids.
Aladdin watched horrified. Screams ensued as water soaked the bodies. The boys tripped over each other to get out of the way, reminding Aladdin the way piglets ran away from a butcher.
The Headmistress stood indifferent as she moved the hose left and right, making sure she hit every single kid. Finally, when they all ran back inside, she turned off the water, and the mystery vehicle was revealed.
It was a police car.
Aladdin gasped. He walked behind her as she ambled slowly and menacingly towards it, reaching the window. She stood still, keeping the frightening look of indifference. The window slowly crept open, revealing a man with a strangely long face crouched in the fetal position with a terrified expression.
"James." the women said. James twitched, "JAMES."
"Are they gone yet?" the man whispered.
"Yes. Now get up."
James complied, and the Headmistress told him to open the other windows. Once the windows slid down, she reached in, grabbing a lock of black hair.
"Flynn?" Aladdin's mouth dropped open.
"Ow, ow, ow, ow," Flynn said as the Headmistress proceeded to pull his whole body out the window.
She leaned in and whispered into Flynn's ear, "we'll discuss this inside." he whimpered in response.
Even in the distance, Aladdin could recognize Peter Pan's shock of red hair as slipped away from the scene and into the orphanage. The Headmistress, still holding Flynn, turned her head and shook her fist at him,
"DON'T THINK YOU GET AWAY WITH THIS!" she roared, "I'LL GET YOU BOY, IF IT IS THE LAST THING I DO!"
She was too far away to hear Peter laughing in response.
After the Headmistress dealt out the boys' punishments (a week of everybody's chores, earlier curfews, and later lunches) and Hook was sent back to the station, the three musketeers convened in their bedroom and traded stories.
"It seems like we all got the girls today," Aladdin laughed. He knew he should've been mad at them for ditching him, but everything turned out fine. Besides, if was dragged along with them, he would have never met Jasmine.
"Yeah," Flynn smiled to himself, "weird, isn't it?"
"What's weird?" Peter asked from the top bunk.
"All we did is do something out of routine, and our lives just... changed," Flynn reflected.
"Welp, I think I'll run across highways all the time if it means my life will be changed," Peter said.
"No, please don't ever do that again," Flynn rubbed his temples, "that was too much."
"Aw, you're such a grandma Flynn."
"Shut up Soulless."
"You shut up."
"Great comback. I'll give it a 10 out of 10."
"You two are such a cute couple." Aladdin grinned, leaning back on his pillow.
"I'd never date a grandma, what's wrong with you Aladdin?" Peter said, disgusted.
After some more arguing and a few card games, they went to bed early. They couldn't do anything else, for the rest of the day the Headmistress had forbidden them from leaving the room. But while the other boys lay asleep, Aladdin stayed awake, staring at the ceiling, thinking about the new changes to come.
Haha yeah I'm back. It feels good to be writing again.
Just so you know, the Headmistress and Brandon are my own characters. Just picture the Headmistress as the unholy spawn of the Queen of Hearts and Madame Medusa (the lady from The Rescuers).
Anywho, thanks for the support. Love you guys :D
