Miss Me? Here's more of the insanity coming up next!
...
At the same time, while Eric was about to kill Flynn Rider, Naveen shouting like a maniac and hysteric man and Aladdin trying to not cause an accident, inside of Ariel's red mini van, at the passenger seat, Mulan was staring at the window, seeing how the sky had gone black all of she was done with her shopping nightmare list, she had gone back at her appartement, rushed to the bedroom and took out a big suitcase from the closet, before starting to pack things up.
As her suitcase was starting to get full, her phone was ringing in her purse, who was resting on the chair just behind the door of the bedroom that she and Shang shared walked back to the chair, opened up her purse to drag her phone out ; to discover that it was in fact her husband calling her up.
It's been so long since she had heard his voice. She tried to not seem emotional over it, but living in distance is somewhat a test to prove that you're faithful to a person you love with all your heart, even if you know that person for years.
Oh come on! Shang is not a womanizer! He would never do that! After what we've been through together, he won't!She still remembered her conversation with him on the phone, two hours ago, before Ariel picked her up. Was she relieved to hear his voice? Oh Hell. She was desparate..
"I had thought that you've gotten tired of me, by now?"
"If I was, I would have had got myself a huge dog, like Eric's instead of a loving wife like you.." She laughed at that answer, coming from her man. She was relieved, he'd still wants her in his life.
"So, how was your day?"
"Nightmare at the mall, today...I can barely stand Chi-Fu's unstopping crap.." She could have had heard him wince at the line, as she sat on the bed near where her suitcase was lying on it. She followed her story, telling him about that creepy saler back at that boutique to that restaurant where Ariel had busted in to tell her about that letter she had received from Frollo and his new wife, Gothel.
"Reunion, you said?" He asked again as she shrugged back.
"Yup.."
"Never heard of it.."
"Yeah, I know, did you ever received a letter saying that you have been invited at a strange and frozen castle?"Damn right, he hadn't. The guy was too busy lately and thought she was probably losing up her mind when she brought up the reunion being held at some castle and frozen castle as she specified it.
"Castle? You're not kidding! Aren't you?"He gulped back into distraught for a second as she sighed."I wish I was. But Ariel told me that she and the others had received a letter from that creep!"
"That Frollo guy, huh? I've never liked the dude before. Too creepy.."Which she agreed to this point.
"Yeah..."
"And they're all coming into that place?"had added Shang at the line, Mulan just shrugged and said."Most of them, I guess.." Well I'm not gonna be alone here..
"You're also going at that place? No?" Mulan winced at that tone, he sounded hesitated. She knew him so well, when he used that tone, into whatever situations she was getting into, he would always be at that defensive mood. She cannot blame him for this, even if she's a cop, she's also his wife, his friend and partner and lover. He has every right to worry for her, No?
"What do you think I should do?" Like it would matter, either way.
"I'd say-Follow your guts, even if going to that 'frozen' castle is quite freaky to think, no offense, Mulan, I do think it's kinda freaky, I mean of you going there all alone.."He said back, even if he didn't liked the idea for a bit. The way, he was struggling himself about finding the right words to say made her chuckle softly, this was the only part, his shyness part that stayed as a secret between the two of them. At work, she always had seen him so serious and so confident, but never shy at anything.
A man has his own dignity, no?
"Right, keep laughing at me!" He had yelped back as a defense act.
"No, I'm not! You think that I should follow my guts, even if it means putting myself into danger, huh?"She asked back standing up from the bed walking to the nightstand desk near to the bed, where a framed picture stood on. Their wedding was a great moment for the two of them, smiling like two teenagers in love. Mulan stared at that picture, feeling nostalgic.
A moment like this, huh? However, after three weeks of honeymoon in Hawai, it was back to work, right afterwars.
"As long you're being careful, I have nothing to worry about it, Mulan..."He said back, waking her up from her thoughts.
"Yeah, you have nothing to worry about! I'm tough like a rock!"She teased back at her husband who laughed at that line."I know you are and I don't doubt about it...Just give me a call when you'll get there, alright?"As Mulan wanted to reply back, a text message called her up. Ariel of course. She didn't have to check the memo, cause she could had seen the red car waiting at the parking, from the window.
"Well, it looks that my taxi had arrived and might go wild, if I don't show up soon!"She replied back, peeking up at the window, where a red car was waiting from afar. Mulan could hear him snickering back from the phone. Which send her many shivers through her collarbone.
"Ariel, huh?"
"Got. It. Right." Keep guessing, pretty boy. If he and Pheobus were bestfriends since school, so was she with the pretty red haired woman.
"Anyways, I better get going, I have another conference to attend and my father would not like to see his son being absent, you know.."An patient man like his father was, couldn't handle an an so-called and wised up man like Chi-Fu on his own, without his son by his side, by the way. It was time to go back into the routine mood here, as she had figured out.
"Yeah, I know...Love you.."
"I love you too. I'll call you when this meeting is over, Mulan...See ya, soon.."She closed up her phone, smiling at that sound. However Mulan knew why Shang seemed worried, even if he tried to cover it. Claude Frollo wasn't like any other teacher at school, he was always supscious to everyone's sight, even rumours of pedophilia and abuse over children and women were still spreading around. In fact, Quasimodo was one of them and choose to live in silence. Until he commited suicide, a year ago. No letters or proof were found, no witness either, case closed, like already? Nothing of this sounded good to hear.
Claude Frollo escaped from these rumours and threats about being send into prison, thanks to his lawyer. However, an grieving Esmeralda had once said to her and to Shang, that Frollo wasn't going to stop hurting people, just like that, even Madeline, Quasimodo's girlfriend agreeded on this.
"No matter how long it would take to arrest him, he's already damned for the rest of his life..."had said Esmeralda to the two of them after hearing that the cops were putting the case aside, for a while.
Mulan could had seen the anger through Esmeralda's eyes, even in her calm state, she wasn't pleased about closing the case, even if her friend had no choice. Determinated, Mulan rushed to the closet,opened the doors searching up for a warm coat and boots, not to forget her gun, her personal mini suitcase, her I.D and badge, and had hid them in her suitcase. She dressed up and rushed out of the room with her suitcase, as fast as she could.
...
"You okay?"
Mulan almost had jumped at the red haired's voice, she turned her head to look at her friend whose eyes were still on the road.
"Yeah, why?"
"You seemed quiet..."
"Sorry, I kinda space out, that's all..." Ariel eyed her up, trying to not laugh. "You think that nobody is gonna to recognize you? Huh?"
"What? No! Who cares about me? Anyway..."Mulan was quite the awkward girl to 'dress' up like a boy at school. Everyone would stare at her like she camed from from Pluton instead of Venus. She didn't had many friends, but at least, Ariel was kind enough to become her friend, like her only best friend. "There's Shang..."
"I know, but other than that!"Mulan raised her hands up, in desperate mood, Ariel took few seconds before she camed up with an answer."Maybe me?"The black haired sighed at that, shaking her head, like she couldn't believe it. Ariel will always be the best friend among the others.
"Oh come on, tell me. What's on your mind?"She asked back, turning the wheel to the left. Mulan decided to drop the thing out, already and coming out from her gut as Shang told her to focus on this important matter.
"Frollo doesn't seem to have changed at all, I mean to me..."
"What makes you say that?"
"I don't know, I just know that something weird is going to happen.."
"Did you talk to Shang? I mean about it?"had said Ariel back as Mulan folded her arms against her chest, being serious now.
"I even told him about Gothel, but I don't know, knowing him, he will look after her, when he'll have some time.. "True thing here and he would,soon as he would finish up these tiring meetings as soon and as possible.
"What about you?" What about her? Maybe starting to look around, would be a good idea. And once when she'll walk away under Frollo's sneaky nose.
"I'll keep an eye on them.."This time, it was Ariel's turn to look surprised, she turned her head at her friend, saying this;
"Meaning, you're going invastigate them? Both Frollo and Gothel?"
"Even if it meant looking around that weirdo castle, yeah..." At that moment, Ariel stopped the car at the street, where no signs of 'No Parking Here!' were standing in it. The street looked completely frozen like ice snow, enough to make a human person fall, in fact everything in here looked frozen. An old deserted and empty waterfall was standing just few steps from them and right behind them stood an giantic castle coming from the 1800's victorian era, almost frozen too. Well except for the large and big green grass that covered the entrance, including the garden behind the castle.
"Well, you weren't kidding when you said that summer never camed here, I mean in that place..."had said Mulan after breaking that weird silence, since the girls were staring at this famous palace.
"It looks like they never knew how to use scissors before, I mean just look how unhealthy their green grass look like!"had exclamed Ariel at the horrifying scene.
"You're sure, we didn't got lost? This place looks dead to me..."The dark haired female cop had replied as Ariel pointed back at the working GPS who had suddenly faded away its energy once they parked up here.
"Well, I followed GPS system, Mulan, so I don't think we got lost, Arendelle is the only place that looks like that house from that Amityville saga..." Mulan kinda gulped at that part.
'I shouldn't had watched these films with Grandmama, while she was drunk, she laughed at these scary moments, when I hid myself from seeing them... I can't believe that a place like this exist...ARGH! I just wanna this reunion thing to be done! Like already done by now!'Had thought the chinese girl back, staring up at the half frozen castle."How can they live in a place like this? That castle looks so abandoned like it been many years ago.."
"Like an enchanted castle..."Had let out the red haired girl, out of blue, Mulan looked up at her, like Ariel had never been out before. "Enchanted castle? Are you kidding me? Who wants to live there?"
"Hippies or drug dealers? Elephants? I was only kidding! Mulan! Live up a little!"The red haired woman had turned off the engine and slowly started to unbuckle her belt when her friend felt like exploding here.
"I'm not Belle, you know? I don't always keep my head into a book!"Had said the detective girl back, trying to defend herself. Ariel just sighed, staring back at the castle, trying to change the subject. "You think, they made it?"
"Who?"
"You know what I'm talking about! The others! Do you think they made it here, already?" As Mulan wanted to answer, a few and weird noises were heard, coming from the garden behind the castle. The girls didn't have to open up theirs windows to hear them better, at fact, these noises, sounded more like voices, screamy and cursing voices, that sounded like this. Male voices that sounded far too familiar here.
"COME BACK HERE! RIDER!"
"PLEASE SPARE MY LIFE! JOHNNY!"
"YOU MORON! I'M GONNA KILL YOU!"
"ERIC! NOT YOU TOO!"
"OH YEAH! RUN FOR YOUR LIFE RIDER! CAUSE YOU AREN'T GOING ANYWHERE!"
"AL! NAV! HELP ME OUT! BLONDIE BOY AND THE GAY GUY WANTS TO KILL ME!"
"YOU ARE ON YOU'RE OWN! PAL!"The girls knew that the gang had made already, but that might go deadly, if they don't move at all, to stop the rumble, like old times, yeah. Mulan and Ariel looked at each other's faces, smirking at the same idea, like this;
"Shall we? Ariel?"
"I thought you'd never ask!"Both girls rushed out from the car and ran over the garden, trying not to fall on the thin and breaking ice. Unknowing, that someone hiding in the castle's tower was secretely watching them, from the window.
...

Let me a review! if you think you know the answer!
