Wow, this is the fastest I've gotten a chapter out ever. Major thanks for those who reviewed. And one big shout out to Izi Wilson! You absolutely rock!

"Who are you?" I looked up from my book to see a boy with blond hair and another boy behind him with practically white hair.

"My name is Octavia, I'm new." I stood up from my chair and closed my book. "I just transferred this morning."

"Nice to meet you, I'm Alex Wonder. This is my friend Jack Rabbit." He introduced. "You don't look like you're from around here."

"I'm a Neverlander."

"Really? So do you know Peter Pan and Captain Hook?" I wasn't a dumb nine year old, I knew when to keep my secrets.

"I've met them in passing."

"You should come and play with us." Alex grabbed my hand and dragged me towards a group of kids sitting in a circle. "Hey guys, meet Octavia. She's new. Octavia, this is Quinton Hearts, Marcus Hatter, April Hare, Scarlet Knave and Cam Cheshire."

"Nice to meet you all, what are we playing?"

"Duck, duck, golden goose." Marcus replied. I grabbed the space between Scarlet and Cam while Jack sat down next to April.

"Okay, here we go!" Alex started the game until he landed on Quinton and they raced around the circle only for Alex to beat him.

"Very well then." Quinton stuck his nose into the air and started around the circle. "Duck, duck, duck, duck…GOLDEN GOOSE!" His hand landed on my head and we both bolted around the circle until Marcus tripped me. I picked myself up and slammed down into my seat.

"YES!" I hands went up in the air in victory. Everyone around me was silent. "What?" Quinton Hearts, son of the Queen of Hearts, was down for the count. My tentacles came out and accidently tripped him into a tree. Truth be told, I wasn't sure if they were staring at me because I had knocked out their future king or because they saw my extra limbs.

"Oops."

"Mal, stop fussing. You look great." I tried to assure my friend as she tried on my leather jacket.

"I'm kind of nervous. First date ever." Evie applied some more blush to her cheeks.

"You'll be fine. If I know Ben then you'll have an awesome time." I pushed up my glasses. A knock at the door brought the three of us out of our talk as Mal went to open it.

Ben stood there with two helmets in his arms. "Wow, I finally know the difference between cute and beautiful."

I smiled as did Evie when Mal waked out the door for her first date.

Once Mal was gone and the door was closed, I turned to Evie. "Okay, why were you so upset about Chad?"

She seemed taken aback when I asked. "I don't know what you mean."

"You can't lie to me." I sat down in the chair across from her bed. "I saw the look on your face when Audrey kissed Chad."

She sat down with a sigh. "I thought that he and I were meant to be together. He is a prince, I am a princess… he was perfect."

"You're kidding me right?" She seemed shocked that I said that. "Chad might be nice to look at but when he starts talking you discover who he really is. He is selfish, rude, arrogant… My list goes on." I got up to sit with her on the bed. "I know you were doing his homework." She nodded at this. "You need someone who likes you for you, not just one part of you. Chad only loves himself."

"You make it sound so easy."

I snapped my fingers and stood up. "Meet me in my room in twenty minutes. Bring your most comfortable pajamas and whatever snacks you can find."

"Wait, what?" She asked as I made my way for the door.

"Mid-day movies!" I ran off to tell Jane, Lonnie, Doug, Carlos and Jay.

I looked around my room and made my mental checklist. Clothes put away? Check. Pillows and Blankets made into a fort? Looked awesome. Movie snacks? Enough for days at sea. Pictures of my family? Unfortunately locked in my desk drawer.

A knock at the door startled me out of my thoughts. I opened it to see Evie, Jane and Lonnie. "Right on time. Come on in." Letting people in my room was a big deal for me. I liked my privacy.

"Your room looks so much bigger without the other bed." Lonnie dropped her pillows onto the floor in front of my projector.

"Helps when I toss things around." I joked. I was in my most comfortable pajamas (basically my purple and black eel pajamas and a long sleeved shirt with a glow in the dark eel). Evie was in a cute pair of dark blue shorts and a t shirt, Lonnie sported a Chinese nightgown and Jane had a light blue and pink gown.

"Who's this?" I turned to see Jane holding up a picture frame.

'Oh no.' I forgot a picture.

"Oh wow, he's hot." Lonnie and Evie looked as well. "Like really hot." Lonnie continued.

I looked to see which picture they were looking at. It was one of Jamie and I over the summer. We had just received new swords from mom and dad as a grading gift. It was from the waist up so they couldn't see our tentacles. He was a fair bit taller than me and a much more muscular build. He and I had the same shade of dark brown for hair and he started growing a pirate scruff. His arm was around my shoulders with the backdrop of Arendale. I had to admit looking at the picture, he looked like a younger version of dad. Everything from the same blue eyes to the crook in his jaw, only difference being the tentacles that were usually under his dark red jacket.

I mentally sighed. "That's my brother, Jamie."

"You have a brother?" Evie asked.

"Yeah, he is a year or so older than me. He went to Arendale Conservatory and graduated early." Okay, I consider myself smart, but Jamie is a genius. By 'graduated early' I meant he graduated three years early.

"Is he single?" Lonnie asked and I couldn't help but roll my eyes.

"He is but he isn't the type to date." Truthfully he'd been longing for Ariel and Eric's daughter Avery, but because of family differences he won't even try.

"Guess who's here?" Jay opened the door with Carlos and Doug hot on his trail.

"Hail to the conquering hero." I mock bowed.

"My fame proceeds me." We all couldn't help but giggle as I started to set up the projector to my computer and everyone started to go through my collection of movies.

"Are there any specific requests?" I pointed the projector to the white blanket I had hanging over my fireplace and plugged in the speakers.

"This one!" Jay held up an action movie.

"How about this?" Evie and Lonnie agreed on a gross romance.

"What about this one?" Doug brought attention to a musical.

"Comedy!" Carlos grabbed one of my favourite movies of all time.

In the end, we started with the comedy. I was between Jay and Doug with Evie on Doug's side. Carlos and Jane were in the front on their bellies and Lonnie was on Jay's other side trying to curl up to him. We all had popcorn, soda and a massive amount of Neverland taffy.

By the time we binge watched movies and consumed mass amounts of junk food, it was nearly sundown. As we started to pack up, clean up all of the popcorn from the floor and put everything into the proper bags, Doug spoke up. "Oh no."

"What's wrong?" Carlos asked.

"Tomorrow is parent's day." Evie, Mal and Carlos al shared looks. Jane's shoulder slumped along with Lonnie's.

"Great…" Another one will fly by where my folks don't come due to 'political reasons'…right?

And that is where I will leave you guys today. Will Penelope's parents show up for Parent's day? Will she be found out? Will Ben have a continuing problem with Neverland taffy? Find out soon!
