This chapter was very difficult for me to write! I had to research two languages that I previously only knew a few words to.

Again I don't speak Danish or Norwegian and apologize if I butchered any phrases. If I did, feel free to correct me.

Rainlily216, thank you so much for the compliment! After I posted my first chapters I saw the story you were talking about. It looks interesting but I'm waiting to read it after I finish this story. That way I don't accidently steal ideas.

I don't own any of these characters in this chapter.

Tiana woke up to find herself near a pond of all places. She examined her reflection to make sure that turning back into a human wasn't a dream. Tiana sighed in relief when she saw that she was in fact human.

The water looked clean enough, so she splashed some on her face. The headache that she had awoken with was gone, and she could now focus on getting home. The first steps would be to figure out where she was and what happened.

"Think Tiana, think!" she told herself, "I was at the restaurant with Naveen and Louis, there was the headache, and then... and then..." She couldn't remember what happened after that and it was frustrating her to no end.

She groaned and began to massage her temples, as if the headache was still there. Tiana closed her eyes, willing her memory to figure out how she had gotten there. Her memory, however, provided no answers for her. She felt a hand on her shoulder and her eyes shot open as she gasped.

Standing there with her was a girl in a blue dress with red hair. She was standing in the water in front of Tiana. The girl was soaked, as if she had swum across the pond. What Tiana didn't know was she actually did. She had been too lost in her thoughts to hear her swim. But even if she did, there was no way she could guess that this girl could swim before she could walk.

Ariel stared at Tiana, worry filling her eyes. She had seen the poor girl alone, like she was, and decided to investigate.

"Hey," greeted Tiana. She offered the mermaid a small smile.

"Hej," Ariel replied. It seemed they spoke the same language.

"Can I help you?"

Ariel squinted in confusion, "Det forstår jeg ikke."

"Oh I'm so sorry I thought you spoke English!" Tiana shook her head at herself when she realized there was no way this girl could understand her last statement. She recognized the language as either Swedish, Danish, or Norwegian. Which one she had no idea. As if it mattered, she didn't know how to speak either language.

"Det forstår jeg ikke," she repeated. 'I don't understand.'

Tiana held out her hand to shake, which Ariel accepted, "Tiana." She hoped this girl recognized it as a name and not a foreign way of saying hello.

She understood, "Ariel." They let go of each other's hands and both turned their heads to see if there were more people with the other girl. Although they were princesses, neither one looked the part. Ariel had no shoes on due to the fact that she had them off before. Tiana's hair was barely brushed and she was still wearing the simple dress from before she passed out. That's why both girls thought that there was a chance the other might live in a small cottage in the middle of these woods.

Both stood there awkwardly, waiting to see if the other girl would offer to lead them to their home for help. Neither moved an inch for what seemed like hours. Ariel was the first to move, but it was only her head to look at the creature behind Tiana.

Tiana looked back to see a puma, or mountain lion, and froze. The cat was so skinny that his ribs were visible. This meant that he would risk anything to get the meal that he was in dire need of.

Even if it meant going after a species he would usually avoid.

Having never seen a big cat Ariel was ignorant to the danger. She stepped past Tiana and began to slowly walk towards the mountain lion.

"Ariel?" She ignored her. Tiana didn't know what this girl was trying to do, but it appeared the cougar would attack at any moment.

Ariel held out her hand to the cat, "Hej." He stepped closer to Ariel and began crouching. Realizing the puma was getting ready to jump at her, Tiana frantically looked around for a weapon. She saw and ran to a fallen branch nearby. It was a large branch, but small enough to easily handle.

The cat lunged, but Tiana had already started running toward the two with the branch and hit him with it. He ran back a few feet before looking at both girls and growling.

Tiana gripped her weapon tighter as her eyes widened in fear, "Oh I've done it now."

Elsa was running through the woods calling for her sister, her cousin, Olaf, even at times Rapunzel's chameleon. She was hoping and praying that they hadn't traveled to this mysterious forest with her, but if they had, she had to find them.

She stopped when she heard a big cat's cry and ran through some more trees to see two girls and a puma. One girl held a large branch. Her posture suggested she was ready to defend herself, but her face looked horrified. The other girl who was behind her looked more shocked than scared, but definitely unsure of what to do. Then Elsa turned her attention to what looked like a very hungry mountain lion.

She stepped out of her hiding spot and shot ice toward the cat. He jumped in surprise, but wasn't fast enough to escape her powers. He was stuck in what appeared to be a barred cage, but made of ice.

Elsa turned to the obviously stunned girls and shouted in Norwegian, "Come on, before it melts!" She ran, the other two following her. As they left the cat's furious cries were getting harder and harder to hear.

The sun sank lower and lower in the sky as the girls ran. The girls stopped running, finally feeling safe.

Ariel looked behind them and asked in Danish, "What was that thing?!"

"A cougar," answered Elsa in Ariel's mother tongue. "I see you speak Danish."

"And you do not?"

Elsa shook her head, "I speak Norwegian, but know a lot of Danish." This was true. While trapped in her room Elsa had passed her time reading. She had taught herself Danish and Swedish that way, the languages most similar to her own.

Tiana was walking around a bit talking to herself, "I just met a girl who can shoot ice. She shot ice from her hands." She began saying similar sentences, exasperated.

Ariel looked to Elsa, "Do you understand her?"

Elsa shook her head, "I don't speak English that well."

"I think she lives nearby. I hope so because I'm lost." The Princess of Maldonia wasn't listening, as she continued to rant. It didn't matter anyway as they were speaking Danish.

"Hang on," Elsa walked over to Tiana who had quickly calmed down at the sight of her. "Do you live..." Elsa paused as she tried to remember the word, "here?"

Tiana shook her head before pointing to Ariel, "Does she?"

"Nei," Elsa quickly realized that she spoke in Norwegian. "No. Lost like me." Tiana lost much of her hope of getting home at that statement.

"As am I. But may I ask how on Earth you can shoot ice?!" She said to herself, "Just when I thought I've seen everything." Elsa stood still trying to contemplate her words. The only part she caught was, 'As am I.'

She decided to introduce herself in English and Danish, "I am Queen Elsa. Jeg hedder Dronning Elsa."

Ariel asked, "You're a queen?"

"Yes. Of Arendelle. It's in Norway." Eric had told her of Norway. She had not visited the country, but she was told that it was north of her kingdom and that it was beautiful. There was also a story about someone who could shoot ice like this girl (Ariel meant to question her about it).

"You are the Ice Queen." She continued, "I thought you were older... maybe dead." Elsa raised an eyebrow. "I mean you don't look old, but I've been told you were born in the early 1800s."

"Yes... is it not the early 1800s still?" Tiana saw Elsa was confused at Ariel's last statement, whatever it was.

Ariel shook her head, "I was born in the 1850s." Elsa's eyes widened.

The queen ran to Tiana and grabbed her shoulders, "Please. Today's date?"

Tiana, a bit stunned, gently removed Elsa's arms, "July of 19..."

Elsa interrupted, struggling to speak English in her panicked state, "No! It's 18! She and I are from 1800s! I'm from the early years. She is from the late."

Tiana felt a bit dizzy when she realized what this meant. She looked to the first girl she had met and realized that she looked like a younger version of the late Queen of Denmark... whose name was Ariel.

"We're all royalty," Tiana whispered to herself.

"What?" asked Elsa.

"I'm Princess Tiana of Maldonia and she is..."

Ariel interrupted, "Hvordan siger du 'princess' på dansk?" Elsa shrugged in response.

The Ice Queen asked, "What is a princess in Danish? Or Norwegian? I speak Norwegian. She speak Danish." Tiana was impressed that the two could converse in... was it Danish or Norwegian they were speaking? Tiana didn't know.

She also didn't know the word princess in either language, "Um... a princess is... it's like a queen but younger. They're going to be queen one day."

Elsa realized what Tiana meant, "I thought so." She told Ariel, "Prinsesse."

Ariel nodded, "Of course. I am one too. Princess Ariel." Everyone stood silently as the realization sunk in.

"We're all royalty," Tiana repeated, "This can't be a coincidence."

Elsa noticed the setting sun and spoke again in both English and Danish, "We must find shelter." Without warning Ariel grabbed the wrists of the other girls and started to drag them over to a mouth of a cave.

The cave was large and had a large amount of water in the back, enough for any of the girls to swim in. That's exactly what Ariel did when she ran over to the water and dived in. She ran so fast toward the water it was as if she were on fire and needed to put it out.

Elsa ran over, "Ariel?"

Ariel's head poked out from the water, "I thought I heard water. Thank goodness I was right!"

"Why?" As the two conversed Tiana examined the entrance of the cave.

She explained, "My legs hurt. It's similar to the pain I had before I got my tail back."

"Your tail?" All of the girls watched as gold light shone from the water around Ariel.

"My tail," she lifted what were originally her legs, but now it appeared to be a green fish tail. Elsa stepped back a bit in shock as Tiana ran over.

Elsa spoke to herself quietly in Norwegian, "En havtrue."

"You're a mermaid!" exclaimed Tiana. Well this was definitely not something she was taught about the queen in history. Ariel told Elsa about how she agreed to trade her voice for legs and how when the sun set on the third day she lost them. Elsa relayed this information to Tiana as best she could.

Tiana looked out and saw the moon, "Whatever got us here must have affected that spell somehow. Maybe when the sun comes back up she'll regain her legs." All of the girls hoped beyond hope that Tiana was right, for they'd need to move across the forest to get out of here.

Rapunzel moved quickly around the forest calling for somebody to show her the way to civilization. She still had a bit of her headache with her and she was exhausted from her path being mostly uphill, but that wasn't going to stop her. Nothing could.

She was surprised to hear her call was answered and ran toward the unfamiliar voice. She stood at the base of the mountain and looked up to see a girl with short black hair on a ledge. It wasn't high enough that falling would kill her, but jumping off it would definitely hurt.

"There's no way down from here!" she called from the ledge.

Rapunzel held her arms out, "Jump and I'll catch you!" Snow White seemed unsure at first, but jumped to the brunette. Rapunzel caught her, but she ended up falling backwards and let go of Snow White. The two crashed into the Earth and groaned.

"I'm so sorry!" said Rapunzel, "That went a lot better in my head!"

Snow White smiled and stood, "Well I'm down aren't I?"

Rapunzel also stood, "Yeah, guess so." Her face suddenly lit up, "You speak German!"

Snow White didn't expect the girl to say such a thing, "Yes I do. Is that alright?"

"Yes, yes of course, but it just shocked me that you could."

This only made Snow White confused, "Why wouldn't I?"

Rapunzel's smile left her face because of her own confusion, "Because... we're in Norway."

She shook her head in response, "We're in Germany."

"But I was just visiting with my cousins! They live in Norway! I was just there!"

"I was in my castle in Germany."

"You're a queen?"

"No. Almost, but not yet."

"I'm the princess of Corona. My name's Rapunzel." Snow White thought about Corona. It was a beautiful place but it was currently being ruled by a betrothed king, and his fiancé wasn't named Rapunzel.

"Princess Snow White."

"Snow White?" Rapunzel gasped and started jumping up and down in excitement, "I've read your story so many times while I was locked in my tower!"

"Locked in your tower?"

"It's a long story. I was kidnapped as a baby because of my magic hair and my so-called mother kept me locked in a tower so no one could use it but her. I was locked in there for 18 years yadda yadda yadda. I read the book of your adventure so many times!"

Snow White's face was suddenly filled with pity, "Oh... I understand now."

Rapunzel's smile disappeared again, "You were locked in a tower too? I mean I know your stepmother wasn't the nicest person but..."

"It's not that," she gestured to a log before sitting on it. Rapunzel sat next to her.

"What is it?"

Snow White sighed, "Rapunzel, when people go through a very... traumatic situation with so little human contact they tend to make events up in their mind to deal with the pain. They can lose touch with reality."

"You... you think I'm crazy?"

"Crazy isn't the right word. You're simply creating a world better than the one in your tower, which I assumed you've escaped from."

"Not recently, but yeah."

"Rapunzel, there is no princess of Corona. Hasn't been since 1487." Was this girl, whose story she's read over and over for years, saying what she thought she was?

"It's the 1800s now. That sounds like an awfully long time not to have a princess."

"It's the 1500s."

"Wow, your story is much older than I thought." Rapunzel, now determined continued, "Well does a person from the 1500s know this? You're Snow White. Your stepmother was angry at you for being prettier than her and sent a huntsman to cut out your heart, but he couldn't do it. He told you to run away and you did.

"You made it to a house owned by 7 dwarfs. They're Doc, Dopey, Sneezy, Happy, Grumpy, Bashful, and Sleepy. They allowed you to stay there with them. One day the dwarfs went to work in the mines and you got an unwanted visitor."

Snow White shrugged, "I wouldn't say unwanted."

"She would've been if you knew her intentions! It was your stepmother disguised as a hag. The magic mirror had told her that you were still 'the fairest of them all' and alive. She tricked you into taking a bite of the poisoned apple and you died. The dwarfs chased the queen away and she fell off a cliff. You remained dead until a prince, your true love, kissed you awake." Snow White sat there, frozen stiff. "How accurate was I?"

Snow White finally found her voice, "You got all of the details that I know right... and you got even more specific than I could."

Rapunzel smiled, "Do you believe me now?" Snow White simply nodded. "Great! I wouldn't want you to think I'm some crazy person."

Snow White stood, "I'm sorry I didn't believe you."

"I would've probably reacted the same way. I mean when you think about it, glowing hair with powers, it sounds ridiculous."

She nodded, "Now I realize that if you were in Norway and I in Germany..."

"We could be anywhere in the world." Silence. "We need to find out where we are. If we get to higher ground, we might be able to see another civilization nearby." Both girls looked to the top of the mountain.

"And we can ask them where we are," Snow White looked to the setting sun, "but not now. The sun is setting and we don't want to be somewhere that's cold even at high noon."

In all seriousness Rapunzel said, "I agree," but then out of nowhere she pulled Snow White into a bone-crushing hug that pinned her arms to her sides. "I just can't believe that I get to meet you!" Though taken aback by the hug at first, Snow White smiled.

This was probably the longest chapter so far. I found it very challenging to write Tiana, Elsa, and Ariel's conversation and making it clear what language each princess (or queen in Elsa's case) was speaking. If it helps, Tiana spoke English the whole time and Ariel spoke Danish the entire time. The only person who alternated languages was Elsa.

How did I do in that aspect? In fact how did I do with this chapter overall? I appreciate honest reviews! :)

We've got one more group that needs to meet, and where they meet may surprise you. ;)
