Here is Briar and Hopper, enjoy!

Hot In Herre-Nelly-3:48

What in the world was the real premise behind something called a 'Dancing Inferno'?

As far as Briar was concerned, this was just an excuse for everyone to strip down to their bathing suits, why else would there be water slides and pools set up all around otherwise? Plus, the invitation did say to wear one's bathing suit underneath their clothes…

"Hopper," Briar waved to the shy prince, recognizing him as one of the only people she knew at this party besides the DJ.

"H-hi," He turned into a frog only to be kissed by her and turned back, "Thanks, I uh…"

"Talking only makes it worse in here. Let's dance!" She began to dance with him.

"A-and if it gets too hot?" He asked, putting his hands on Briar's hips with some reservations still.

"Then, we lose our shorts and jump into one of the pools, duh!" She moved a little slower to the beat, making sure that Hopper could feel her sweaty body up against.

Hopper only hoped that he wouldn't turn into a frog so soon again. He liked dancing with Briar like this.

It seemed that destiny was not something that Briar and Hopper were going to be successful in fighting. He was cursed to keep turning into a frog and, while Briar had kissed him plenty of times and had turned him back to a human being, she was not to be the princess to break his curse. Even if their love did have some power to it.

Therefore, Briar was now going to submit to being cursed to sleep for 100 years. She and Hopped would probably be better off, she didn't love him strong enough to break his curse and, why should she leave him hanging if she did have to go and be cursed to sleep for 100 years anyway?

"This is so hard," Briar sighed as she spoke those words, "But, it's gotta be done."

Hopper nodded in understanding, knowing that if he tried to saying anything right now, he'd probably turn into a frog.

"I'll always love you, Hopper Croakington II. Thank you, for everything," Briar placed a kiss upon his lips and turned away from him, never to see his freckled face again.

Because Of You-Ne-Yo-3:54

Hopper didn't think of Briar as truly special only because he'd been smitten with her at first sight. Oh, no. It was much more than that.

Briar was a source of positivity in her own way; from how she took life by the bullhorns and lived every day like it was her only 'once upon a time' to the way that she was always up to try new things never ceased to amaze Hopper.

Not to mention, while she'd been disgusted by Hopper and had told him to cool it with the creepy advances, he had gotten the message. Before she was a fair maiden, she was a human being and, many princes in general forget that about the maidens that they were trying to woo.

It was very clear that Briar improved Hopper in the very best ways. Without Briar, Hopper would probably still be unsuccessfully chasing random maidens. But, she'd provided him with love and affection plus, she had helped shaped him into more of an ideal prince.

Whether they were meant to last forever after or not, Briar coming into Hopper's life had permanently changed him for the better.

Sweet Life-Frank Ocean-4:23

The idea of a storybook romance had oft been promised to Briar, she was a Royal after all. She was going to have it all: her kingdom, her beauty, and a happily ever after.

But, that still didn't mean that the journey to get there was easy. Why should she have to rush around doing things she enjoyed when she was ultimately going to sleep for 100 years and only be left with photographs and memories that would turn sad and sour because those who helped to create those very memories would be gone forever after.

This only gave Briar all the more reason to continue with her and Hopper's supposed 'forbidden romance'. They were better than the stories that they were intended to act out once again; this stories had been told.

Running might seem like a cowardly move to make but, it was the best move at that. Destiny was not going to force Briar into a marriage with someone that she didn't know or care about.

Hopper had her back in this and, they would have each other for the rest of eternity. Kingdom or no kingdom, that was what mattered.

I Will Always Love You-Whitney Houston-4:42

A drop of blood on from her finger tip, some heaving, ending up on the ground and eventually being placed into her bed. Well, on the bright side, everyone else in the castle was going to be asleep along with Briar.

Briar was living out the story that she was intended to. Whether intentionally or not, the story of Sleeping Beauty was playing out.

While she slept, Briar only dreamt of Hopper and how he had loved her; from the way he had held her hand to the way that he simply had the ability to make her smile.

Hopefully, the stars would align and there would be a prince just like him to come to her rescue. Or, perhaps he'd somehow been frozen in time as well and would indeed, be the one to wake Briar from her sleep.

Even if that wasn't the case, Briar hoped that Hopper could find love for himself. Honestly, in a world so dark, where even fighting destiny might not prevent it from running it's course, love had to find a way. Didn't it?

Regardless, Hopper had left his mark on Briar's heart and, it would truly take someone special to live up to all of the expectations that Hopper had once fulfilled.

Blown Away-Carrie Underwood-4:00

Hopper zipped up his backpack and made sure that it was secure. He ran over to where Briar was standing outside.

"Ready to go?" He asked quickly.

"Yeah, yeah. C'mon," Briar grabbed his hand and they ran.

Didn't wicked witches usually concern themselves with sending Oz into a panic, not a random land?

Either way, everyone was set to evacuate to Wonderland until this state of emergency was over and done with.

The couple held onto each other tightly as they approached the portal that would take them into Wonderland. While a part of Briar wished that their castle wasn't going to be large chunks of stone when they returned, she knew that it was better to just escape in tact even if their home would be gone upon their return.

At least on the bright side, everyone would band together and help rebuild all of their castles in the land.

Don't Stop What You're Doing-Puff Daddy feat. Lil Kim-5:07

Saying that Briar's laughter intoxicated Hopper was putting it so simply. Intoxication was a mild description of how disoriented even the slightest giggle from the sleepy princess made the froggy prince.

Though, that said, Hopper wouldn't change a thing about the stumbling mess that Briar reduced him to. Well, it wasn't as bad as what Raven Queen's mere presence did to Dexter Charming but, it was in the same category.

However, Hopper was proud of this. After all, one's true love should have be the only one to make them so truly, very weak in the knees that they should stumble and fall.

Now, while Hopper might not have that same effect on Briar, he was content with that. Briar was a poised princess despite her falling asleep more often than not and her YouOnly Live Once Upon A Time' mentality. She had the drive to take on the very Fairy Tale World and Hopper knew that she would eventually.

On a different plain, Briar might give Hopper that same drive and confidence with her love but, the world was hers for the taking and the ruling. He was more than happy to step to the side while Briar took charge.

Young Girls-Bruno Mars-3:49

Hopper didn't love the fact that he was still being followed by paparazzi. He and Briar had called it quits months ago now but, apparently that was all the more reason to follow him?

Naturally, it was still stumping everyone what an all-night-partying, various music-blasting and world renowned DJ would have wanted with some ordinary prince like him. He was a cursed prince at that. While Briar may have skipped out on that 'next Sleeping Beauty' thing, he still very much turned into an amphibious crooner when he became flustered.

Maybe these jerks with cameras wanted to capture this one more time for their slow news days? That was probably it.

Or, maybe they were trying to capture all of Hopper's recently failed dates…It wasn't his fault that no maiden he came into contact with would never be Briar; that was just the way of the world, or maybe it was the lay of the land.

Last Resort-Papa Roach-3:33

"Hopper, no!" Briar screamed as he went down.

She looked at Faybelle with a glare. Oh, no.

Faybelle had put her to sleep for 100 years and now she was killing her true love? Nope.

A certain fire became lit in the formerly sleeping princess and any grogginess that she still felt was instantly washed away. She ran over to where the bleeding prince lay on the ground and picked up his sword.

"Please don't leave me," Briar whispered before stepping forward with his blade in hand.

"What do you plan to do with that?" Feeble was rather amused.

"I'll show you!" Briar charged at the evil fairy.

While Faybelle did her best to block Briar and to even freeze her in place with some dark magic, all of her evil spells were no match for the true love running from Briar into the blade in her hand.

"NEVER TOUCH HIM AGAIN!" Briar stabbed Faybelle with all of her might.

Vivir Mi Vida-Marc Anthony-3:51

Life was about living. Briar understood this because her time to truly run around being a somewhat foolish royal was limited, she had to really make the most of this. When she was set to awake from her slumber, it was going to be all business from then on.

When she had ended up hooking up with Hopper Croakington, she kind of wanted to sweep it under the rug of her many meaningless hook-ups but, she found that he was a rather sweet prince. One who actually wanted to stay for breakfast the next morning…

So, while she might not want to put much of a label on their relationship, she wasn't about to drop him without an explanation.

Their time might be limited but, Briar would be damned if the time that they had left to spend wasn't going to be special.

I had a lot of fun with this chapter! The Papa Roach song caught me completely by surprise! I mean, I didn't even know that I still had that song in my music library anymore. I wish it was a longer song and then I could have gone into more detail...Ahem, I clearly ran out of time on songs but, I ran out of time especially on 'Don't Stop What You're Doing' and, that's my own fault because I love the song and basically spaced for a good chunk of it. Also, I had a more cohesive plot line for the 'Young Girls' snippet but, again, there's another song I love and got lost in. I should def write some more Briar and Hopper in the future, huh? Maybe so but, right now: 4 more couples to go...who will they be? Don't worry, you'll see.
