Rainlily216, I never really did specify what Aurora was wearing. That was my fault! I imagined Aurora wearing her pink dress. To recap what the others are wearing, Cinderella has the same outfit on that she wore as her stepfamily's maid, Tiana has her waitress outfit from the beginning of hers, Ariel has her blue dress, Belle also has her blue dress, and the rest are wearing the same outfits that they'd be wearing in say movie posters. I hope that helps!

Walking through the forest, Jasmine, Ariel, Elsa, Tiana, and Merida didn't say much. The girls who could understand each other wanted to get to know the others better, but at the same time they didn't want Jasmine to feel left out. They had silently and unanimously agreed to keep as quiet as possible.

When they had reached a stream they had decided to follow it in case Ariel turned back. While Jasmine didn't understand any of their languages, she could understand Merida's growling stomach. It was no surprise to her that when they came to a spot in the stream with lots of fish, Merida took out her bow and arrow and carefully aimed it. She released the arrow and it hit a fish, causing the others to swim in multiple directions away from their schoolmate.

Merida picked up the arrow with the fish. The fish had been lucky enough to die instantly unlike the ones she had to catch for her mother bear what seemed like so long ago. She smiled at it, seemingly ready to eat the fish raw.

"Mermaid," Tiana reminded.

At Tiana's voice Merida looked toward Ariel and saw a horrified look on her face. Jasmine didn't understand why Ariel looked the way she did. When Tiana had explained that she was a mermaid earlier, she hadn't understood. She assumed Ariel was acting this way because she was squeamish.

Merida hid the arrowed fish behind her back, "Tha mi duilich." Realizing she just spoke Gaelic, she requested to Elsa, "Tell her I'm sorry please."

Elsa turned to Ariel, "Hun er ked."

Before Ariel could respond, everyone heard what sounded like an asteroid hitting the Earth or a very, very short avalanche. It wasn't until the echoes died when they moved at all. They had looked at each other, wanting to inspect the noise out of curiosity but instinct telling them to avoid a potentially dangerous situation.

Suddenly Tiana exclaimed, "Woah!" It caused Merida to drop her fish and get a new arrow at the ready. Elsa too got in a fighting stance.

What Tiana had seen was the same puma from yesterday, sitting on a large boulder and snarling at them. It was only about ten meters away, too close for comfort. It had more than likely followed Ariel, Elsa, and Tiana's scent after getting some rest himself.

Merida shot an arrow that would have hit the cougar square in the head, but at the same time Elsa shot ice at him. The ice and arrow collided about a foot from the puma's face, pushing the arrow off course. It landed harmlessly a few feet away.

Thinking fast, Jasmine took the fish off the arrow and ran to the puma. Luckily for him, Jasmine running up had caused Merida and Elsa to hold their fire. Holding the fish close to his face, the mountain lion seemed skeptical, but hunger overpowered him and he happily gobbled up the snack. The girls watched in amazement as Jasmine lead him to the stream to show him the fish.

To Jasmine, the puma seemed very surprised to see the fish in the stream, but happy nevertheless. He carefully stood on the bank and began to calmly catch numerous fish, causing Ariel to flinch. He caught them so skillfully, snatching the ones that strayed from the school.

This raised a few questions for Jasmine. This creature was obviously starving, but it was catching these fish with ease. Certainly it could hunt other things like rabbits, squirrels, or maybe even deer. So why did this poor guy look like he hadn't eaten in months?

It then occurred to Jasmine that the only animals she had seen here were these fish, this puma, and a few birds. Having been in the forest over 24 hours, she should have definitely come across more wildlife. It appeared this guy had nothing to hunt in a long time, which would explain his apparent surprise at seeing the fish.

However, there was something else wrong. If there was nothing to eat that meant this territory was useless for him. So why hadn't he left? Even if others of his species had claimed land in the areas with food, instinct would have made him venture into that land to either steal food or fight for territory. He hadn't been stealing food as he had obviously not eaten for a long time and he had no marks that suggested that he had been bested in battle. It's then when it suddenly occurred to Jasmine the reason he was like this.

He was trapped here.

It was the only explanation that made sense. He couldn't fight or hunt for food because there was no food available to him. And if this mighty thing was stuck in this area, Jasmine could only imagine the chances of her and her new friends. She really wished she could recite this realization to them.

"Jasmine," Merida pleaded. She and the others had backed away a bit, wanting to use this opportunity to escape. Jasmine was about to follow them when she noticed that the school of fish had gotten smart and swam away together. It was luckily in the direction they were going incase they needed food, but the lack of fish caused the mountain lion's attention to go back to the girls.

Instead of attacking Jasmine like the others expected, he nuzzled her shin. It made her smile down at him with pity. He reminded her so much of Rajah.

She couldn't take this animal as a pet. He had obviously lived his whole life in the wild, he proved that while fishing. Animals growing up in the wild were more unpredictable. The reason why she could own Rajah was because he was so docile and had been raised by her since he was a small cub. He needed her as much as she needed him. He had never been taught how to hunt. When he fished it was a funny sight to see. It would be even funnier after seeing this guy grab them with no problem.

But at the same time this animal was trapped here. There was no guarantee the fish would last here. Even if they did, there was no way he could live off of them alone. If the girls just left him here he would starve to death. He already looked so close to losing his life.

Jasmine made up her mind to bring him with them. She couldn't keep him as a pet, but he needed to get out of this area. She'll simply help him, won't even give him a name or let alone check his gender.

She began to walk, ushering the big cat to follow her. When the two walked closer to the rest of the party, Merida got her weapon ready. Jasmine, however, raised her hand and Merida lowered her bow. It was a shame that Jasmine couldn't explain her reasons for bringing him along, but the girls would just have to trust her.

When Merida lowered her weapon, something shiny had caught her eye. It turned out to be the arrow that she had shot from earlier, but it was glazed with ice. Curious, she went over and picked it up, nearly dropping it because of how cold it was.

Using a tree as a target, Merida put the iced arrow on her bow and pulled it back. It released and the arrow stuck into the tree. On impact, ice and frost began to spread all over the tree. Despite being so tall, it was engulfed in ice in a matter of seconds. There was even ice on some of the ground surrounding it.

Elsa was perhaps the most surprised of them all. She had blocked an arrow with her powers before and nothing had happened. Then again that ice shield at the castle had already been formed when the arrow drove through it. In this situation, the ice and arrow mixed.

Taking a few more arrows from her quiver, Merida ran over to Elsa, "Can you make more of these?!"

After processing her words Elsa grabbed the arrows in her hands. They were instantly glazed with ice to the delight of Merida and the astonishment of them all.

Both Cinderella and Aurora tightened their grips on the vine when they heard the mountain piece they were once standing on crash to the ground. This climbing objective just got much harder for the two of them.

Aurora, deciding that it was best not to look down, focused her attention on her friend above as she climbed. Cinderella took a quick looked down before following.

Without looking down, Aurora told Cinderella, "I know you can't understand me, but I'm begging you to hang on."

She responded, "Ne pas regarder en bas!" Don't look down!

Aurora didn't want to look down, but wanted to make sure Cinderella was there. To accomplish this she decided to use Cinderella's voice as confirmation of her presence.

She talked as she talked, "Cinderella, when we get back home, I'm going to learn French and introduce you and Pocahontas to my husband. His name is Phillip. You'll love him."

Cinderella smiled, "Je ne vous comprends pas, mais ca me plaît." I don't understand you, but I like it. She could hear the love for Phillip in her voice.

"I'm ready to see him again. I don't care how much work I have to do to get home. I'm willing to do anything to get back to him."

Pocahontas, Rapunzel, and Snow White stood above staring down in horror.

Snow White was the first to speak, "Should we pull them up?"

Pocahontas shook her head, "If we move the vine it could surprise them and make them lose their grip. All we can do is be patient and hope for the best."

Rapunzel called down to them, "Du kannst das machen! Klettern!" You can do it! Climb!

Down below Aurora told Cinderella, "I'm tempted to look down, but I can't."

"On doit-" Cinderella stopped talking when she heard Rapunzel continue talking.

"Ja! Ja!" Yes! "Klettern!"

By the time the girls got halfway up, they were undoubtedly tired, but they refused to give up. By the time they could see the details of the others' faces, they could barely move their arms, but they still refused to stop.

When they reached the top they were quickly hauled onto solid ground. Nobody blamed the two girls for lying down for five minutes while breathing heavily.

Aurora finally sat up, "Thank you."

Snow White translated for Rapunzel, "Danke."

"Oh! Bitte schön!"

Pocahontas explained, "They speak German. Ils parlent allemand."

"You don't know German by any chance do you?" asked Aurora.

"I haven't bothered to learn."

To that, Snow White said, "You don't need to. I know English. I'm Snow White and this is Rapunzel."

Pocahontas introduced her friends, "Aurora and Cinderella."

Snow White and Rapunzel waved happily to their new companions. Both groups felt much joy at meeting more people in these woods.

Mulan, Belle, and Anna stopped when they heard part of the mountain hit the ground.

Belle, now a bit uneasy, said, "When we get to the mountains, we need to be careful."

"Indeed," agreed Mulan.

Some silence had passed before Anna broke it, "I say we try to lighten the mood. Tell me about yourselves! I mean, we know Mulan fought in the army to save her dad, but you have to have interests and hobbies."

Mulan thought, "I spent most of my time helping around the house, I'm not too bad at checkers, if I do say so myself, and since the war I've been practicing martial arts for fun."

Belle mentioned, "Books I've read made you sound a lot like a tomboy."

"I'd say that's accurate. My husband would agree."

Anna's smile grew bigger, "You have a husband?!"

Belle nodded, "Captain Shang if I remember correctly."

"The one and only," Mulan confirmed, "We were married not long ago. It's nice to have a husband who's also a sparring partner. If I remember correctly, Anna mentioned that you have grandchildren, Belle. Of course, you don't look nearly old enough to be a grandmother, but you said you married into royalty."

"I did. His name is Adam. I admit we didn't get along very well when we first met, but I don't think our relationship could be better. When I'm not reading, which is about half of my day, I'm usually with him."

Anna told them, "I'm engaged. Is being married difficult?"

Belle, having been married the longest answered, "It takes a lot of work, but it's all worth it in the end. Falling in love and living happily ever after isn't just in storybooks you know."

Mulan added, "Just be sure this is the guy you truly love and that both of you put your best effort into the marriage."

Anna nodded, "Definitely!"
