Author's Note: I don't own anything!

Esmeralda was walking around the town square trying to put her thoughts together. Frollo had confessed his love, and she denied him. Was she wrong? Am I wicked? She thought to herself.

"RAZZ!" shouted Frollo from across the town. People stopped what they were doing and they stared. Esmeralda looked at Frollo and was not happy to see him. He advanced towards her. He caught up to her and said, "Good morning."

"Hi," she whispered.

"How are you today?"

"Tired, but okay," she replied.

"Listen, about last night-"

"Frollo, I-"

"Razz, it's okay. You need your space, and I need my space. Now isn't the best time for us, even if there ever were to be an us. I hope that whatever life brings you, you'll be happy and I wish you the best. I'm always here for you," Frollo interrupted, "I will be your friend no matter what."

Esmeralda half smiled as she nodded. "Where are you off to?" Frollo asked.

"Clopin is having a masquerade in a few nights," Esmeralda smiled, "I'm looking for a costume."

"Can I help pick out a costume with you?" he asked.

"Of course."

Frollo grabbed her hand and skipped down the streets. They went into several costume shops until Frollo found a perfect dress for her. "It's beautiful!" he whispered.

It was a cream colored dress with long sleeves and a black corset that covered the front of the gown. The mask that came with it was black and white, almost like a checkers board and covered most of the face accept for the mouth. The hat was a swan like figure. "I'm so buying this for you!" Frollo exclaimed.

"Frollo, you really don't have to."

"Please, allow me."

Frollo bought the dress for her and Esmeralda couldn't thank him enough. "Frollo, thank you," she would thank him over and over again.

"You're welcome. Now work it girl!"

News of the masquerade hit the town fast and hard and everyone was excited. "This is going to be so much fun!" exclaimed Quasimodo, "I'm going as a chicken."

"I'll probably go as a waffle," the deacon laughed.

"What about you Frollo?" they asked together.

"I'll be going as a demon!"

"HIGH FIVE!"
