Merida slammed the door making Arthur flinch. They were probably in a supply closet as Arthur felt numerous sharp objects poking his butt. The red head was clearly pissed at the sudden occurrence of events as she was not properly informed of Hans' sudden appearance.
She was so mad it was driven to the point where she threw him the nice vase on Anna's bedside, Tiana, Taran and Elionwy are currently debating on who should pay for said damage.
"So . . ." Merida crossed her arms "Aren't you going to say something?"
The boy blinked in the darkness of the room "Do you want me to pay for the vase?"
"THIS DOESN'T CHIBBIN INVOLVE THAT CHIBBIN VASE!" she hit something again and that something fell to the floor making a loud crashing sound.
"Ok ok ok!" he pushed his hands forward "Just stop . . . touching things"
She fell silent for a moment "Ok . . . first, how did you find Anna in the first place"
"Well . . . you see . . ." he dropped his hands "When you said Anna was missing the first place I checked was the clinic . . ."
"YOU DIDN'T THINK . . ."
"Woman your voice" he placed a finger on his lips.
She pouted, though it went unnoticed in the dark.
"So there I checked the clinic and Dr. Proud just arrived" he was then interrupted again.
"Wait her name is Dr. Proud?" Merida did not mind to register the names of the university faculty.
He sighed "Yes, and her husband lives up to the name" he cringed in memory of meeting him "Anyway, I asked for Anna and she told me that she just sent Hans to bring her medicine"
"Wait why did she make Hans do it?" Merida asked.
"I presume he sort of works in the clinic" he rubbed his chin "Because when I sprained my ankle he attempted to gauze me"
"Did you sprain your ankle from the dogs again?" she smirked.
"No believe or not I did not" by now their eyes had adjusted to the darkness and it turns out that Merida had dropped a box of thermometers and Arthur was behind an open scalpel closet.
Merida pointed at him "I suggest you move forward"
"There's no space to move forward to" the room was as usual quite small.
She looked at the floor of broken thermometers "Hey do they still use mercury in . . ." before she could continue Arthur pushed the girl out of the room, slammed the door shut and dragged the woman to another location.

Tiana took a bit of the apple she bought in the cafeteria and she noted that it wasn't as fresh as the lady there had told her.
"I wonder why they always presume that the fruit Eve ate was an apple" Elionwy said out of the blue.
The other woman lifted a brow "Eve?"
The blonde waved her hand "You know the first woman, she had sinned with her husband because she followed the suggestion of a serpent"
Taran rubbed his shoulder, it was still sore from when Merida hit her earlier that night "What does that have to do with an apple?"
Elionwy clapped her hands "Exactly, but whenever people try to convey the Creation they always assume that the Forbidden Fruit were an apple, I mean the Bible didn't say anything all it said was that it was a fruit"
"Umm . . . Elionwy what again is your major?" Tiana placed the apple on top of the table.
She smiled "Geology"
Tiana turned to her boyfriend who shrugged in response.
"Anyway . . ." Tiana crossed her arms "Why are you guys here anyway?"
"Arthur borrowed my car" Elionwy picked up the apple "I was supposed to drive him here but Taran insisted he join us"
"Actually you dragged me to join you" Taran played with Elionwy's hair.
She turned to him in confusion "Did I? I do not recall"
"Indirectly" he let go of her hair "You said you wanted Arthur to explain what incestuous love was"
Tiana blinked "What?"
"Oh yes" Elionwy placed a finger on her chin "He really didn't answer my question" she turned to Tiana "Now would you mind explaining to me incestuous love?"
Taran face palmed "Please excuse of her"
"I'm sorry" Tiana said awkwardly "I do not have, and plan to have, experience on that"
/
"So l guess we'll be leaving then" Taran quickly headed for Elionwy's Suzuki Alto parked outside.
Elionwy shook her head "Ok now that he's gone . . ."
"Are you gonna really ask him that?" Tiana didn't know if she was really that childish or she just wanted to mess with them.
"Why what was that all about?" Merida asked.
"Lady Macbeth" Elionwy turned to the redhead "Do you know what incestuous love is?"
The Louisianan spread her arms "I'll watch Anna so excuse me" and then she went towards the elevator.
"Like you don't what that is" Arthur turned to the girl.
Elionwy crossed her arms "Why does everyone always say that? It's not like I'm asking you to measure your genitals"
Almost instantly Merida looked at Arthur's lower section.
"What . . . the . . . we . . . you . . dah!" he pointed at the red head "WOULD STOP DOING THAT!"
Merida looked up blushing "I was looking at your shoes!"
"Please tell Anna to get well soon" Elionwy smiled.
"Sometime I fell like she's one of those computer simulations that spill out random words" Arthur shook his head.
Merida nodded "Umm sure I'll tell her that . . ."
"Thank you Lady Macbeth" she was about to leave when she suddenly turned "Oh yes . . . I forgot" she skipped towards Merida until she were only inches from her "You might want to take extra care of that young girl, she might get entangled in weeds" and with that she followed her boyfriend's suit leaving the two alone.
The Scottish girl turned to the Brit "You really don't trust Hans do you?"
"Since when did you ever had your faith in that man again?" he countered.
She smirked "Never . . . ." she then remembered "You never really did tell me how you found them"
"I told you . . ."
"But you never finished" she then went closer to him "And also how did you know exactly where to ask?"
He stepped back as she got closer "I kinda . . . have . . . connections . . ."
"Hmm . . ." she stopped cornering him "Are you sure . . ."
"Didn't Anna have a sister?" he weakly said.
Merida jumped "Oh . . . [curse]"
/
It had been a couple of days since Anna had been hospitalized and after careful deliberation it had been decided that her older sister were to be uninformed of the whole incident, as per suggestion of Hans and the request of Anna.
Merida didn't like the idea, sure she didn't want to face the so called 'ice bitch' but the girl was still her family and there was a problem on the payment. Though Hans had decided that he would pay for all the expenses, both Tiana and Merida still chipped in a bit of cash just in case.
Elionwy would have paid as well had she not been already deep in debt with student loans and the rest. Merida just refused Arthur's donation on the spot before he even mentioned of it.
Though she did accept Kuzco's gift basket that was until she knew she actually had to pay for the thing.
"I thought that this was supposed to be a gift?" the red head still held the item in her hands.
The Incan flicked his hair "Well excuse me things don't come in cheap now these days"
"But it's supposed to be a gift" she raised a brow "And why are you here anyway?"
"Well aren't we a bit picky on charitable efforts" he checked his nails "Come on that thing cost me $13.34"
That was when a girl suddenly appeared behind him "Kuzco did you give my gift basket?"
"Wait this isn't his?" Merida glared at the man.
The other girl slapped her face "Are you charging gifts again?"
"NOT EVERYTHING IS FREE!" Kuzco raised a finger "If you won't be accepting that then I'll take it back!" he snatched the basket off the Scot's hands and quickly but fashionably left the room.
The tanned girl sighed "I apologize for his . . . Kuzco-ness"
"I'm really starting to think his roommate is a saint" Merida nodded.
The girl held out her hand "Oh sorry I'm Malina"
Merida accepted it "Merida . . . so you're . . ."
"Me and Anna have the same course" she explained "We're both taking up broadcasting so when I heard about . . ."
The redhead sighed "Yeah . . . though I'm sure she'll be fine"
"Hopefully" Malina took note of Merida's appearance "You look tired"
Merida rubbed her eyes "Yeah, balancing taking care of Anna and school can be taxing"
"You need a break you know" Malina touched her chest "I can help if you want"
She waved her hand "No . . . I can handle this, only a few more days of strive" she offered a weak smile.
Malina just nodded "Isn't Hans helping you guys?"
This just spoiled Merida's mood even further "Well financially sure but . . . look I don't really wanna talk about ok?"
"Oh . . . I'm sorry" Malina then spotted Kuzco outside from the large window "OH I KNEW HE WAS GONNA EAT OUT OF THAT BASKET!"
"I'm surprised he didn't eat it in front of me" Merida rubbed off the sleep from her eyes.

Anna really hated it when she was like this. It wasn't her fault that her immune system was that weak and it just had to come to this point. Sometimes she wondered why she didn't just die already.
She could still hear her mother crying when she was younger, it was the first time she was hospitalized and they thought she was sleeping. She remembered her mother cursing herself from not being careful during her pregnancy.
It was kinda sad to be the reason for your mother's sadness, but she later knew that it was only the beginning. Wherever she went her relatives always treated her with pity, always spoiling her and making sure she never moved a finger because of her condition. At first she was only annoyed at it, she only became ashamed of it because of her sister.
She always envied Elsa; she was the prettier one, the smarter, the more mature one and was pretty much the closest thing Anna had ever had to a perfect human being. Sure she still had her faults but it was very hard to not envy Elsa Vinterdotter.
She could never be like her and she gave up trying a long time ago, which was why she choose instead to be her friend instead than to rival her. But as time moved on things started to get in between the siblings and things just simply drifted apart with them. Even until now in their college days, Anna didn't even realize that Elsa even had a boyfriend till one of her classmates told her.
"Anna why do you look so down?" Tiana was currently fixing the flowers Hanns brought her.
The strawberry blonde shook her head "No it's nothing"
Tiana stopped fixing "No I don't think so" she placed a hand on her hip "Now spill"
"I'm fine really" Anna tried to smile but Tiana didn't seem to be taking it. "Ok" she sighed "I just . . . feel really bad about all of this"
The Louisianan beauty sat on the edge of Anna's bed "Look, if you think that you're being a burden again"
"I always think that I'm a burden" Anna nearly screamed but she went back to her inside voice "The feeling never really left in the first place"
"You gotta stop doing this to yourself" Tiana held on the Swede's shoulder "It's not good for you and for us"
Anna looked down "I know, it's just that . . . I really don't know how to make it up to you guys, I can't even handle myself what makes you think I can . . ."
"No problem with that" Tiana poked her forehead "All you have to do is get better"
"That's what I've been trying to do the whole time" she clutched her blanket.
Tiana lifted her hand from Anna's shoulder and started to smoothen her strawberry blonde hair "Well you've managed to get out of home schooling didn't you? I'm sure you'll be able to recover this time"
"You guys must be really tired right now" Anna looked at her friend in the eye "I'm really sorry you have to do that"
Tiana kissed the girl's forehead "So don't go wasting our efforts by just giving up, and besides you're going out of this place in a couple of days"
Anna nodded "You know you can just leave me with Hans"
This made Tiana sigh "Well tell that to Merida, even if I do want to do that that girl will just kick me in the butt and push me back into this hospital"
"It couldn't be helped" Anna gave a more sincere smile to Tiana this time "She never really liked him"
"But you're crazy about him" Tiana still smoothened her hair.
Anna giggled "What can I say?"

"What the heck is going on in here" Merida came into the lounge of their dorm with a group of girls forming a circle.
Mulan rubbed her forehead "Seriously, with everything that technology has bestowed upon us I didn't think we'd be having a problem like this anytime soon"
"Now girl don't be so dramatic about this" Aurora entered the room "You're just surprised it didn't happen to me"
The Chinese girl pinched her nose "Thank the gods that Phillip wasn't some hormonal guffaw"
"Well I don't think the other girls should know about this though" Aurora then closed the doors leading to the lounge "It's an issue enough"
Jane Porter was seated on a couch comforting a sobbing Esmeralda "Now, now dear stop crying now will you"
"Did someone break up with her or something?" Merida asked not really being close with the gypsy in particular.
Mulan whispered at her junior's ear "Apparently her boyfriend had successfully done the deed"
The redhead raised a brow "They had sex?" she whispered back.
Mulan then made a curve over her stomach.
"Ohhh" Merida nodded "That's . . . big"
"You know you guys are not helping" Aurora sat next to Esmeralda "Ok do you want us to go and charge Phoebus for you?"
The said girl shook her head "I . . . I . . . it's . . . partially my fault"
"I'm not sure violence is the answer Aurora" Jane continued rubbing Esmeralda's back trying to console her "Does he know about this?"
Aurora rolled her eyes "I didn't say I was going to attack him didn't I?"
"You used the word charge" Mulan deadpanned "And not unless you mean it in some other way it means running a stampede over him"
"You guys really like making me look dumb now don't you" Aurora crossed her arms.
The brunette waved her hand "Well I'm just saying we can't hide her baby for that long . . . and it's already been awhile since you guys broke up"
"Why does it always happen this way?" Jane shook her head "It's only when you break-up when you realize you're carrying the little baby junior"
Merida raised a hand "Um . . . can I . . . leave?"
"Uh . . . how did you get in here in the first place?" Aurora asked.
Merida slowly pointed the door and the blonde slapped her forehead in response.
Mulan chuckled "Oh come on, she just got in here for . . . uh why you got in here again?"
"To be truthful I have absolutely forgotten" the Scot circled the room for a moment before remembering "Oh yes, I left my iPod under one of the chairs" she then quickly went for one of the unoccupied chairs and started tossing the foam and after throwing out several pieces of change (which Mulan had successfully caught every time) she found it.
"Ok . . . do I have to make some pact or something?" Merida raised her hands in surrender.
"Just don't tell anyone about this and we're good" Jane smiled, which was the lightest thing Merida had seen in a while.
The Scot bowed before leaving the room and wondering if they realized that the iPod she got wasn't exactly hers.
"No wait . . ." Esmeralda suddenly spoke.

The boy's dorm on the other hand was filled with smoke, sweat, beer and just plain old male bravado. There were those other occupants of the building who hated the smell and started their body spray revolution but it had gotten worse when their colognes got mixed up with the weed.
Which was why Kuzco had clung unto Arthur for dear life when they got in.
"I don't think I can make it" Kuzco wheezed "Don't . . . don't . . . go on without me"
"The exit is just behind you" Arthur tried to wave off the scent "Man, I'm surprised the janitor didn't report any of this"
Kuzco was already on the floor looking like a gaping fish "I . . .*cough* can't . . .*cough* move . . ." he slowly raised his hand "Wa . . .*cough* wa . . . *cough* . . .waaaa"
The blond just looked at his friend "You're not a seal"
"Aiir . . . wa . . ." Kuzco's hand dropped "I'm dying . . . at least . . . this version of me . . ."
"You are not going to regenerate in front of me" Arthur deadpanned "'Cause I have a feeling watching you do it will be gross"
The Incan whispered "Prepare . . . for my . . . density"
"I am leaving you goodbye" Arthur left then started to go up to his dorm. When he had reached his floor and was about to go to his room he saw a girl on the floor crawling who seemed totally disoriented.
He really hated it when his dorm mates would start parties like these and reel in girls and make them do several things that seemed to indecent to mention. He actually joined in with the guys one time and he ended up jumping off the building because of that, Professor Merlin wasn't very pleased when he heard of that incident.
Another thing he hated about parties like these is that he was forced to bring in the girls, at least those he happened to see, into his room and make sure no funny business gets in with them. Yup he definitely hated his sense of chivalry.
When he went closer to the girl he couldn't help but recognize , she was blonde had blue eyes that seem black and had really thick red lipstick. Basically she was any other girl in the school. But there was something that made Arthur felt he knew her.
"Umm . . ." he crouched down on the floor and waved a hand across the girl's face "Hey, hello"
Her eyes still seemed hazy but it seemed she had registered his existence "In . . . corner . . . couch?"
"Corner couch?" after all this time he should have been an expert on talking to high chicks.
The girl drew something in her finger "Nebraska . . . Circle . . . Table?"
"Ok . . ." he was about to stand up when she suddenly held unto his pants "Alfred! Alfred! Alfred!" she screamed.
He shrugged "Close enough"
She waved her other hand "Eheee eee eee eee!" she then slammed her face on the floor and remained unmoving.
He was about to check the girl's pulse when another girl came running towards them "Aurora!" the girl yelled and rushed towards them.
"You look familiar" Arthur raised a brow.
The woman crouched down and pulled the blonde girl by the hair to see that she was sleeping. "Unbelievable, she tells me she's tolerant to the thing yet she's the first one who blacks out" she placed her head back down.
"Look I didn't do that to her" he held his hands up "I just found her crawling and was about to . . . put her away"
"You don't seem the type to rape girls anyway" the woman stood up "I don't think we've met though"
"Hmm . . ." Arthur tapped his chin "I swear I saw you before"
"Mulan I've lost Merida!" a brunette girl wearing a very messy ponytail ran towards them she then saw the other girl on the floor "WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO AURORA?!"
The girl, Mulan, waved her hand "Please don't tell Phillip, it'll lead to another argument with the two"
/
He was under his bed shivering, holding unto his pillow as if it would protect him from anything. His face was soaked in both sweat and tears and his breathing was getting harder the longer he stayed.
The door had finally opened and he heard footsteps moving around the bed, it was like some hyena circling around him and laughing. The boy closed his eyes and held on harder tighter to the pillow starting to rip the fabric.
The footsteps stopped but it was replaced by a different kind of sound. The sound was quick but it was loud and it was enough to raise the little boy's fears up a notch.
He heard something fall.
He peered at the gap to see what dropped.
He saw what seemed to be the hand of his mother.
/
Merida opened her eyes and found herself lying on a bed. Obviously the room was not hers and she was quickly aware that this was male's dorms. What alarmed her was that her captor was seating on a stool by the door and looking at her.
"Well she finally awakes" the Indian man smirked.
She quickly checked herself if she still wore any clothes, she cursed herself for wearing her ripped white top as it might have been a bit provocative. No she was still wearing that and her jeans seemed to be unmoved, her brown coat was placed on the edge of the bed.
"Don't worry nothing happened between us" the guy placed a hand under his chin "Though if you seem disappointed"
"Do you want me to twist your arm again?" Merida quickly got off the bed and was prepared to attack.
Aladdin stood up and placed his hands forward "I was kidding, sheesh"
She still rubbed her knuckles "How can I be so sure, for all I knew you probably slipped something into me"
"If you want to know the truth" he sat down on his stool again "You and Es were trying to get into Phoebus room but some dogs came unto you and you fell down the stairs"
"I got knocked out by that" she rubbed her head.
He shook his head "No you were fine with that, you got knocked out when one of the groupies hit you with a plate when you were trying to get back up"
She slapped her forehead "Of all the things . . . I lose consciousness by a plate?"
"Yeah" he scratched his head "And I saw you and I knew that if I left you alone the other guys might come and take advantage of you"
"Well . . . thanks . . ." she blinked "I guess"
He stood up "So anyway since you're awake you might as well go" he removed his stool out from the door.
"There's a catch to this isn't there?" Merida placed her hands on her hips.
That was when the door suddenly opened and Kronk appeared "Is she alright? I brought in my grandma's special stew!" he was holding a bowl that had some blue substance in it.
Aladdin turned to the bowl and then to the large man "That looks different from the one you gave to me last time"
"That's because that was for a different ailment" Kronk closed the door "But it seems that she's awake"
Merida stared at the so called soup and wondered if she would ever wake up if she ever tasted that thing.
"Look just because it looks disgusting doesn't mean it tastes bad" he placed the bowl on a table "Let me check your head"
The Scot looked for a scar from her head "I don't feel any scar"
"Well then that's good but there might be a mark" he went over and checked the back of her head "How do you even wash this much hair?"
"Dump it in the tub?" she shrugged "Though I never got lice when I was a kid"
Kronk chuckled "Well that's quite an achievement"
"So did you find the dude who twisted your friend's arm" she was looking at Aladdin as she said this.
Kronk nodded "After looking at various sources I have concluded that the culprit is 4 feet tall, has red hair and had a leprechaun tattoo on his butt"
"How tall is Quasi again?" Aladdin asked.
"What made you think I was describing Quasi?" Kronk had finished his search "He doesn't have a leprechaun tattoo on his butt does he?"
Merida just covered her giggle under her hair.
/
"Are you sure nobody could get into your room?" Jane asked as they tried looking for the missing Scot.
Arthur had just checked a couple of rooms "My roommate and I tend to get paranoid when it comes to our privacy"
"Well thank you then" she opened her phone to read a text "Well Mulan says she's not in the ground floor"
"Exactly what were you girls doing here?" the blond went over to another room and lock-picked it "From what I can see from you girls you're not the bimbo types"
"Especially Mulan" Jane placed her phone back in her sling bag "She actually plans to join the army"
He successfully opened the door "Well . . . that's good for . . . China"
"Hmm you're pretty good at this thing aren't you?" she said entering the room.
"I was a pretty curious child then" he shrugged.
"Well looks like this room is empty as well" she placed a hand on the desk and dropped a picture frame in the process. "Oh dear" she quickly picked it up and luckily for her it didn't break.
"Wait a minute . . ." Arthur scanned the room and checked the door number.
Jane's eyes widened when she saw the picture "Wait . . . is this . . . Ta . . . Tar . . . Tarzan's room?" she dropped it again.
"And Hans Chernobog" he placed his hands on his pockets "Huh, and I thought he would have at least have one lock inside"
Jane gulped "Oh dear . . . oh dear dear dear"
"You alright over there?" Arthur picked up the fallen picture and placed it back on the desk.
She shook herself "No, oh no I'm fine"
"You sure?" he then saw something else on the clutter of the desk "Wait a minute . . ."
"What are you doing?" Jane asked as she was being handed items to set aside, when she was again handed the picture again "Wait why is Kuzco in this family picture?"
"Some distant yet close relative" he paused "Oh mother of . . ."
Jane looked at what he was holding "Isn't that . . ."
"Anna . . ."

A/N: I am really really sorry for this very very late update (Especially to Icy). I know not that much read this story but just because there's a few doesn't mean it's not being read. It was exam week and I couldn't think of anything to write.
So I might get back to the usual. Wonder if anyone spots the reference I placed there. Probably not.
