It was a fine Sunday morning, there were a few white puffy clouds up covering bits of the blue sky. Despite the fair weather outside there were plenty of students who had trapped themselves into the quarters of their own dorms either studying or sleeping.
Though there were a certain few who decided to go outside, only it wasn't to enjoy the beauty of nature.
"STUDENTS OF DISNEY, ARE YOU JUST GOING TO STAND THERE AND ALLOW SUCH INJUSTICE TO CONTINUE THROUGHOUT THIS UNIVERSITY!" yelled Rebecca Rolfe but the students usually preferred to her as Pocahontas.
Mulan was passing by the courtyard looking at a few students who were holding placards and other signs cheering on whatever Pocahontas was telling them.
"Hmm, wonder what they're all yapping about" the Chinese girl took a sip of her coffee.
Esmeralda shrugged "Been awhile since I saw a rally"
"Hey Hercules!" Mulan called after spotting one of the members of the football team "What you guys fighting for?"
The Greek seemed to be confused for a moment "Um . . . well uh . . ."
"We're fighting against the suspension on sororities and frats" Megara rolled her eyes then glared at her boyfriend "No wonder you weren't cheering along you don't even know why we're here"
"Suspension?" Hercules seemed confused "Some of the guys at the back said that this was about the whole coaches molesting their players!"
Megara's eyes widened "Coach Phil doesn't do that!" she then had a worried look "Or does he?"
"I thought we were fighting about the tuition increase?" Cinderella Tremaine approached them from hearing their conversation.
Pinocchio Cricket also overheard them "What I thought this was about that whole new immigrant law that the University is passing?"
Mulan couldn't help but laugh at them all for their confusion "I guess you've all got the wrong schedule"
"No wonder these rallies never get anything" Esmeralda shook her head.
In her fits of laughter Mulan saw a certain blonde girl "Hey isn't that Aurora?"
"What? Since when did that woman become an activist?" Esmeralda scratched her eyes when she saw that the girl was holding a megaphone in her hand.
"The University thinks we're blind to what they're doing to us, WELL LET'S PROVE THEM WRONG!" she yelled and a couple of cheers were heard "BROTHERS AND SISTERS OF THE CAUSE WE MUST BAND TOGETHER FROM THEM TAKING AWAY OUR RIGHTS!"
"Is that?" Esmeralda weakly pointed at their friend.
Mulan still had her mouth open.
That was when Aurora was still in the middle of her speech when she saw her friends and waved "Hey guys"
"What are you doing?" Mulan asked spreading her arms for emphasis.
She pointed her nose to the sky "Well I'm fighting against that new clothing policy Disney is making, THEY'RE BANNING STOCKINGS!"

Anna had just came back from Dean Jafar Moghadam and she looked as though she had seen a rabbit with its skin and organs reversed inside out.
"So what did the Dean say?" Merida had just finished a call from her triplet brothers asking for Christmas gifts.
Anna sat on her bed "Well, while you guys are enjoying Christmas I'll be stuck here doing everything I missed"
"Well, it could have been worse" Merida tried to offer a smile. "Hey are you sure you're okay after yesterday?"
"I actually feel better" Anna blinked "I guess me swimming all the way back to shore sort of strengthened my immune system or something"
Merida nodded "Well that's good then"
"Hey" Anna sat up "I'm really sorry"
"Oh no need to do that" Merida stood up "You were clearly not in good state of mind"
Anna just stared at her "It's like you're saying love is a drug"
"I'm not, it just makes you lose a certain amount of your common sense and intuition" the red head rubbed her chin "Yeah, maybe I should have taken psychology"
"No, I still have to apologize" Anna went over to her roommate and grabbed her hands "I mean I had put not only you but everyone else on the edge because of what I did, I was so caught up in having a happily ever after that I didn't realize all the buzz and alarms everyone was giving"
"Well . . ." Merida was cut by Anna.
"Please" Anna sighed "I'm really sorry that I got mad at you and that I had to make you worry about me, you're a really great person you know"
Merida nodded "Well I take pride in that"
Anna then gave her friend a tight hug "Thank You" she whispered.
Merida looked around before deciding to give the girl an awkward hug "Come on, let me go"
The Scandinavian chuckled when she let go "Sorry"
"Shouldn't you be doing that to your sister as well?" Merida stretched.
"Yeah" Anna rubbed her arm "Man, I'm surprised nothing happened to Elsa when they dated"
Merida did a smile "Maybe because she's got someone else to watch for her"
/
"So what do you wanna talk about all of a sudden?" Esmeralda asked, they were in some burger place outside of the school after Phoebus had called her to treat her lunch.
Phoebus looked at her "Like we have anything else to talk about"
"Exams starts tomorrow" Esmeralda played with the paper napkins "Maybe you should wait till that"
"Like my grades matter than what you're carrying" Phoebus used a calm tone "We hadn't exactly talked the last time"
The gypsy sighed "Well I guess I was a bit overwhelmed during that time"
"No, I understand you were not thinking straight I wasn't thinking straight . . ." he looked at the woman in front of him.
"Look, I'm not asking you for any compensation or something" she bit her lip, wondering if she had been truthful when she said that.
"Well I won't be offering, I'll be doing it" he grabbed her hand "Es, it's not about us anymore it's about the kid"
She gulped "I'm scared"
"Look, we'd be graduated before they even realize" he stroked her hand "And I'm sure I'd find a job so we can make it by"
"You're just saying it now" she closed her eyes "But when times get hard you might not take it, heck I might not even take it"
"Shh, don't think stuff like that" he still held her hand.
"What if I'm a terrible mother!" she yelled earning a couple of looks from people.
Phoebus just sent them glares to get back to their business before looking at his ex "Look, you're a great mom ask Quasi and he'll say you were practically born for the job"
"But, but . . ." she was close to crying.
"Look Es, I know we've had a bit of a falling and we've both got a lot in our minds but we've got to keep strong for the baby" Phoebus looked at her in the eye "Ok?"
She did a weak nod "OK"

Elsa was waiting in near a cactus patch in the school gardens, she didn't know why she had the urge to watch the flowers of that certain plant bloom, but then she was reminded it was off season.
"Don't remember you liking cacti" Arthur said approaching her from behind.
She turned around "Course you don't"
"So" he placed his hands on his jean pockets "What?"
"Why didn't you warn me about Hans when you had the chance" she crossed her arms "You had all the opportunity to talk to me"
He didn't look at her "If I approached you Hans might have done something worse than what he did to Anna"
She glared "It was you who made Jack come to the gallery wasn't it?"
"Gallery?" Arthur raise a brow "Jack?"
Elsa kept her gaze "Don't act clueless, you convinced him to come to my art exhibit for food!"
"What?" Arthur raised his hands "Look if you think I would meddle with your love life I don't have that much influence"
Elsa then realized that he might indeed not know what she was talking about "You sure you . . ."
"Look, the only thing I did was make sure you went to study in Paris for one year" he sighed "And made sure Hans wouldn't follow you no matter how he tried"
"Why didn't you the same thing for Anna?" she asked.
"I was in Germany last semester!" he crossed his arms "I only managed to get her this time, but I guess it was too late"
"Seeing as you managed to convince my teacher to go abroad . . ."
Arthur scratched his head "Well, me and Professor Merlin are kind of . . ."
"Oh no wonder" she tapped her foot "What are we gonna do about Hans?"
"Just leave it to me" he looked at her "I know where he's going next"
At the mention of this Elsa's eyes widened "You really think he'll be there"
"Oh, he'll be there" he smirked "It's why he's been trying to get you girls anyway"

Sometimes Taran wondered if his girlfriend even took their relationship seriously. They have known each other as long as the boy could remember and Taran had started seeing her weird friend in a different light since their junior year in high school.
Whenever the guy would try to convey his feelings to her there was always something that had to be in the way. First time was during a Christmas party but she started going into the party saying that the whole December holiday was some demonic ritual and started throwing Holy Water everywhere; note Eilonwy was Buddhist.
At one point Taran was sure that Eilonwy liked Arthur because of the looks she gave the guy whenever he was with his then girlfriend, Penny. Though much to their shock the two had found the girls sucking face by the pool at some party, Arthur broke up with the girl three months later.
By the time college had rolled by Taran had thought he had finally got the chance, only to be beaten again by a certain Christopher Robin. Honestly Taran didn't remember when she broke up with the Robin guy and when she finally decided to date him, heck Eilonwy might still be dating the dude for all he knew.
Speaking of which . . .
"Hey what happened to that guy you used to date?" Taran asked, they were in some fancy Singaporean restaurant that Eilonwy suddenly dragged him into.
The blonde was looking at the decorations "Hmm?"
"You know that dude" he did not want to say the guy's name knowing that it made him sounded obsessed.
Eilonwy looked at him "There are a large amount of 'dudes' I had encountered in my lifetime Taran"
The red head groaned "Why I took Engineering"
"Oh, Ferdinand Sparrow!" she exclaimed.
He faced palmed "Are you doing this on purpose?"
"Is his name not that" she tapped her chin "I'm sure his name was an explorer and a bird"
"You dated the dude for almost a year yet you don't even remember his name" Taran opened his menu and stared at the words.
"Well I'm pretty sure he'd forgotten my name by now" the girl shrugged "It was quite some time ago"
"So . . ." Taran lowered his menu "What are you gonna order?"
She hummed "Maybe their chili crabs how 'bout you?"
He raised a brow "Are you sure you can handle the spiciness?"
"Well it's getting quite cold anyhow" she raised her hand for the waiter so they could finally order.
After giving them so Eilonwy spoke again.
"So you're not pressured on the exams tomorrow?" she sipped her tea "You had a lot on problems with Calculus"
"I'll just wing it" the boy shrugged "I know I'm gonna fail anyway"
"You didn't have to take Engineering because of Christopher you know" she spoke.
He raised his hands "So you do remember his name"
She glared "I'm only looking out for your future"
"Well, if I ain't happy with my future it won't be very productive wouldn't it be" he leaned back against his chair.
"Then why did you shift?" Eilonwy raised her voice.
"Look I'm already in my final year, might as well go down the road" he also sat straight.
"Then you should at least try to put some effort into your classes!" she slammed her hand on the table "You're wasting your time and money in doing so"
Taran just looked at her "Why are you acting like this all of a sudden"
"I'm just looking out for you like a friend should" she kept her gaze on him.
At this Taran stood up "A friend?"
"Well we're friends aren't we?" she also stood up "Not unless you expect me to be something else"
"You know what goodnight" Taran quickly left the table just when their orders were being served.
"Wait! Taran!" Eilonwy chased the boy.
They were at the door of the restaurant when Taran stopped and faced her "No more going around the bush, do you love me?"
The girl nearly tripped when he suddenly stopped "What did you say?"
"Do you love me?" he asked again.
"Of course I do" she blinked.
"You know what I mean" he pointed down "Not brotherly love, not friendly love, not motherly love"
She looked at him confused "Then what kind of love do you want?"
"Well!" he spread his arms not knowing what he should be saying "Tell me what I am to you"
"Ok Taran you're just asking too much" Eilonwy shook her head.
"So I am" he dropped his hands "I'm nothing more than a friend"
"Yes you are" Eilonwy's eyes widened when the words came out her mouth.
The boy just took a deep breath "Excuse me I have an exam to study" and with that he left.
Well at least she managed to make him study.

Kuzco was having his eighth cup of coffee that day and it was only ten minutes to eight. He had spent the night trying to input into the little head of his everything he needed in order to pass the three exams he had this day.
It didn't help that there were a couple of people who went to ask his roommate to help them, and it was strange how Arthur didn't even take Nuclear Physics yet he spoke as if he were Science Guy himself.
"Woah, someone's been up" Malina observed the already shaking man.
He looked at the girl "You don't look good yourself" indeed the girl also had spent the night studying, her hair was a total mess, there were eye bags below her eye bags and the coffee mug she held was much more bigger than Kuzco's
"Well its finals" she sipped her mug "We have to give it our all"
The man tsked "The only reason I managed to stay up because someone was making a time bomb in my room"
"While mine was trying to make a nuke" Malina was now blinking rapidly. "Hey how's Anna by the way, she's back in school right"
"Yeah, Wart found her in some beach town or something" the man rubbed his eyes "Hey what's with the rabbit on your head?"
The girl looked up "Huh? There's nothing there"
"There is" Kuzco looked closer, indeed there was a pink stuffed rabbit bouncing on top of Malina's head.
Malina held her head feeling nothing but her hair "I told you there's not . . . whoah!" she jumped.
Now it was Kuzco's turn to be confused "What? What?" he moved his head left and right.
"What . . ." she pointed a shaky finger "What happened to your teeth?"
"Huh?" Kuzco showed his teeth.
Malina eyes widened as Kuzco suddenly had buck teeth filled with wood, much to her horror the man also grew fur around his face and in no time Kuzco had the head of a squirrel. "AAAAAHHHHH!" Malina screamed.
The pink bunny on Malina's head on the other hand looked at Kuzco and he could see it had a pink left eye and a red right one, it had even started talking to him with a Morgan Freeman voice "What you looking at fool?"
"AAAAAHHHH!" Kuzco shrieked.
Chang looked at the two who were completely normal, except for the part where they were screaming their heads off "What happened to those two?"
Jim looked from his book "Hmm, they probably had too many mushrooms" before putting a couple of shrooms on his mouth himself.

"It's finals week yet you guys decided to play poker?" Tiana stared in disbelief as she entered the girl's lounge room after one of her exams.
Aurora was currently having a match against Jane and Belle Leprince with Merida as the dealer. "Well they needed to get their minds off such stressful things" the blonde commented looking at her cards.
"Well, it was like I had a choice" Belle said asking for another card from Merida.
Jane sighed "Come on we all know you're good at this game"
"Isn't this more of a luck game?" Tiana sat on the sofa next to Jane.
"Well some cousin of mine said there was some crazy formula for it" the Scot was seated on the floor cross-legged "Wonder why he wasn't shot out of the family though"
Belle threw her cards on the floor "That's it I give up, gambling was never my forte"
Aurora dropped her cards revealing a full house "Well guess I won"
"Well congratulations then" Belle did an awkward laugh.
Tiana looked over at Jane's cards "That's a Royal Flush! Jane you won!"
The Brit looked surprised "I did?"
"No way!" Aurora also looked at her cards "Well would you look at that"
Jane blinked "Wow" she stared in disbelief "I guess I was lucky"
While the girls started debating on the events that occurred Tiana pulled Merida to one corner "Ok girl, you better tell me"
"Tell you?" the Scot raised a brow.
Tiana gave her a look "You know what, you didn't exactly tell me how you managed to get Anna"
"Didn't she tell you?" Merida looked to make sure the other girls weren't listening to them.
"Well she did apologize to me last night and even wanted to treat me to dinner but I had to study" she crossed her arms "And I don't wanna pressure Anna since she has to yet face her sister"
Merida closed her eyes "And you had to ask me"
"Well?" the Louisianan tapped her foot "Aren't you gonna say anything?"
So there Merida decided to narrate the events that came from when Arthur had called her until they found Anna and sent her to the hospital and got her to Disney.
"So Hans tried to drown her?" Tiana gasped, it was a good thing the three girls had left the lounge by then and they were the only ones there.
The red head nodded "The bastard even managed to leave"
"Wait . . ." Tiana raised her hands "So Hans hid Anna in Arthur's parent's summer house?"
"Pretty much" the girl then added "Too bad I didn't get to see the photo album"
"So how did Hans get in there?" Tiana asked.
Merida shrugged "Never really thought of it, maybe they hadn't used the house in such a long time they didn't mind securing it"
"Well . . . so where's Anna?" Tiana asked.
"In our room taking a shower don't worry" Merida waved her hand "If she gets out I'll know"
"What you put a baby monitor in her room?" Tiana asked.
The red head snorted "No, though I do have the exits of the building monitored"
"And how is that possible?" Tiana placed her hands on her hips.
"There is only two exits in this building" Merida raised her finger "And I made sure the second exit was secured enough that no one would even dare open it"
Tiana blinked "What if there's a fire?"
"Then they take the other exits" Merida nodded.
Tiana loosened her arms "I thought you said there were only two exits?"
"You can see I am not an architect" Merida frowned.
"Merida" it was Belle "Someone came to see you"
Aladdin's head suddenly popped up "Hey"
/
He knew he was being quite rushed at asking her out during finals week but Kronk had pushed him to it saying that he might not ever get the chance to ask her out since he was graduating.
So now Aladdin and Merida were walking around the campus with all the other students either running around chasing professors to submit late projects or walking like dead zombies from exams.
"So what's up?" Merida asked dodging some girl who was carrying what seemed to be a pig's head.
The Arabian rubbed the back of his head "Well, I was just thinking . . ."
Merida had cut him off "Oh yeah, forgot to thank you for last time"
Aladdin blinked before recalling "Oh you mean for . . ."
"Preventing me from giving a black eye to some senior for attempting to rape me" she smiled, how she managed to say that in one breath Aladdin will never know.
"So you know I was kind of thinking" he turned to her "You know since . . . are you busy this week?"
The girl hummed "Well my exams are done by tomorrow afternoon and I was planning on buying presents on Wednesday before going back home by Friday"
"What do you have planned for Thursday?" he asked.
"Some party Aurora's holding" the Scot shrugged "I don't usually attend but well might as well go since it's gonna be her last Christmas party"
"Oh that one . . ." he wondered why he had forgotten about that one.
"Hey wanna go together?" the redhead suddenly asked.
At this the Arabian was brought back to reality "What?"
"You know go to Aurora's party" she shrugged "Like I don't know a date perhaps"
Well this was quite convenient for him "Uhh, sure that be great"
/
Elsa had just finished her General Psychology test only to find Anna waiting for her outside of the classroom. The two sisters hadn't talked since they left the hospital as the drive back to Disney had been quite a silent one.
It was Anna who came after her "Hey" she did a small smile.
"Hey" Elsa returned it.
At first neither of the girls had said anything and just stood there in the middle of the hallway with the rest of the student body bustling around them.
Again it was Anna who broke the silence "So do you wanna have lunch?"
"I would love that" her sister replied.
Anna then brought her older sister to the sweet shop Esmeralda and Aurora usually go to.
After ordering and taking their seat near the counter Elsa spoke "I understand if you're mad at me, there are a lot of things I hadn't told you and I'm sure you're annoyed with being left in the dark" she then bowed her head "So I'm sorry"
Anna appeared surprised at first "Well yeah, maybe I was kind of mad" she looked at the table "I mean, not only did you not tell me about Hans but . . . there seems more to the time when we were kids"
"I'm sorry really" Elsa sighed "We were only trying to protect you"
At this Anna raised her voice "If you were trying to protect me why do you keep on pushing me away?!"
The other customers started to look at them and the manager Pete couldn't help but comment "Sheest if you wanted to do some confrontation take it out"
On the other hand Pinocchio, who was the waiter was starting to feel awkward in serving their orders "Umm, are you guys still gonna eat?" he asked meekly.
Elsa gave him a nod "Yes, just put the orders on the table, I apologize for my sister"
Anna was about to comment on that but then she remembered she was here to apologize not make another disagreement with her sister so she sat down.
After the boy had placed their cakes and drinks he quickly went back to the kitchen, he already had to go through the rage of some blonde a couple of days ago.
"I guess it's . . ." Elsa was cut.
"Before you say anything else" Anna raised a palm "I guess I better apologize myself"
Elsa was about to say something but was again cut.
"Ok I admit I was a little too naïve to think that what I had with Hans was love" she started "I should have known better, I really didn't plan on actually having a relationship with the guy but after knowing he was your ex . . . I . . . I wanted to . . . make you jealous at some point"
"Anna . . ."
The strawberry blonde waved her hands "I know it's stupid, but . . . ever since we were kids you seemed far away" she stared at her food "I wanted you to notice me even if it was just in that way"
The older girl seemed surprised at her sister's confession.
Anna did a weak laugh "Now . . . I think I should have listened to Merida and you guys about him . . . he nearly kill . . . he didn't love me at all"
"Anna" Elsa spoke "You just said yourself, you didn't even love him then"
"But . . ." she was holding her tears "I actually trusted him, I told him everything about me, I almost . . ."
At this the Ice Queen straightened "You didn't . . ."
Anna shook her head "No . . . I told him I wasn't ready that time and he said it was fine" she looked sad "But the next day he tried to drown me in the middle of the ocean"
Elsa tried to reach out her sister's hand Anna looked up "Ok, we've both been wrong, we've both made mistakes that ended up hurting each other" she held her sister's fingers "I know it will take a while to repair the damage but, I guess forgiving each other is a start"
Anna closed her eyes grabbing Elsa's hand "I guess you're right"
"Knowing the truth" Anna opened her eyes when Elsa said this "Is part of it to"
/
"Hey guys you made it!" Kronk greeted Arthur, Taran and Kuzco as they entered the auditorium.
Kuzco was still shaking after his exams and screaming about a pink bunny that Arthur had to give his roommate a double dosage of anesthesia (with a 'recommendation' from 'Dr. Merlin'). It managed to stop Kuzco's shaking but now he thought that he himself was the pink bunny and was now trying to imitate Morgan Freeman.
"Well of course my brother!" Kuzco raised his arm "It is a must that we enter one may be your key performances"
Kronk whispered on Arthur's ear "What's up with him"
"Well at least he's more supportive now" Arthur he did a thumbs up.
"Well you got that right" he turned to Taran "Hey where's that cute girlfriend of yours"
Again Arthur awkwardly gave him an answer "Well . . . uh . . . they're kind of . . . not together anymore"
"We had nothing in the first place" Taran said morosely before taking his seat on the second row.
Kuzco rubbed his chin "Hmm, I believe the boy must be having an internal struggle with his emotions" he nodded "Do you think we should give him pot?"
"I think I'm the one who needs it right now" Arthur said dragging the Incan "Well you better get ready then" he told Kronk.
The large Incan held his head "Oh right I better get ready!" he then ran backstage.
When then got to their seats, Arthur between a high Incan and a red head emo, well he certainly needed a smoke if what he read in Kronk's pamphlet was actually true.
After a few minutes the lights went dark in the auditorium and there was a spotlight directed on the stage. The curtain opened and in there seated on a chair and dressed in a white blouse, black blazer with a black pencil skirt wearing a white wig and red lipstick was Kronk.
Arthur gagged, yup it definitely was what written in the pamphlet.
After a few gasps and chuckles from the crowd Kronk coughed and spoke to the crowd "My first period . . ."
Taran had forgotten his moodiness for a moment to gasp in horror "I thought you were joking about the title?"
Arthur threw the pamphlet at him "I swear upon my father's grave if this thing turns . . ."
"Well maybe we can get a new perspective about the hardships of women" Kuzco had a serious look on his face "I mean, why don't we ever ask women those questions?"
Taran read the pamphlet "Wait this is thirteen acts?"
"If we ask women those questions the male population will cease to exist" Arthur flinched when Kronk started describing the sudden 'heaviness on the chest'.
"I'm no feminist but isn't this a bit . . . I don't know, insulting?" Taran commented.
"I think it is liberating!" Kuzco raised his finger "I applaud of this act"
Arthur pushed the man down when he attempted to stand up "The first act isn't over yet, calm down"
"I don't think I'll be finished with this" Taran was about to stand up when Kronk suddenly pointed at him.
"YOU!" Kronk pointed at the spotlight went to the redhead.
Taran pointed at himself "Me?"
"YES YOU!" Kronk roared.
The redhead gulped "What did I do?"
"DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT FEELS TO BE A WOMAN!" Kronk went down from the stage and picked up the red head by the collar "You think being a girl is sooooo easy"
Kuzco blinked "I think I'm in love"
"I think I'm dying" Taran choked.
Arthur's phone vibrated in his pocket "I think I have a call" he stood up and bowed at Kronk "Excuse me milady I have . . ."
Kronk's attention shifted to Arthur after dropping Taran "YOU'RE LEAVING ME NOOW?"
"Kronk are you serious?" Arthur whispered.
"There is no Kronk in here!" the men stretched his arms "The problem with you men is that you refuse to listen!"
"His name in Kronkell" Kuzco said.
/
"There's no point in running away from the truth isn't there" Elsa sighed "It's time I told you what happened"
They had just eaten lunch and were now walking back to the university, seeing as Elsa had a lot to tell Anna.
"I guess you should" Anna was looking down "Though I gotta admit I'm kind of nervous"
"So where do you want me to start" Elsa brushed her hair.
Still looking down "How did we end up staying at Arthur's?"
"Our father was good friends with his" Elsa started "Our families were quite close, I don't know if you recall but we usually spend the holidays together"
Anna kicked a pebble "Does that involve playing in the snow and knocking off the cocoa from his hands?"
The platinum blonde smiled in recalling "Yes, wonder if he's still like that"
"So why didn't I remember that" Anna frowned "Can't be that long time ago"
"We'll get to that part" Elsa looked at the sky "So basically when our father died we were immediately brought to the Pendragon household . . ."
As soon as Anna got off the carriage she quickly grabbed the young boy waiting for his parents in front.
"Arthur" she said shaking his hands.
Arthur simply looked at the bouncing girl moving his head up and down following her movements awkwardly "Nice to . . . see you again Anna"
Elsa on the other hand was more formal when she met her new guardian family, she did a curtsy "Thank you for taking me and my sister" she said politely.
Anna upon seeing her sister also did a bow "Why do we have to do this?"
Elsa stood straight "A way of saying thank you"
"Now, Elsa you didn't be that formal" Uther Pendragon smiled humorously "You don't have to worry about a thing"
"See we didn't have to do that" Anna stood straight "Hey, Arthur could you tell me where me and Elsa's room is"
"Well over . . ." before Arthur could say anything else the girl had already taken his hand and ran towards the estate.
It was now dinner time and Anna was in the kitchens saying hi to the cooks and trying to get a taste first of whatever food they were planning to serve that evening.
"Can I please taste the spaghetti sauce!?"Anna was trying to jumping to get to the counter.
Flora waved her finger "Why no" she slapped the girl's hand playfully "You might eat them all and not save any for everybody else"
Anna pouted "I just wanted a taste!"
"My, aren't you a stubborn child" the cook gave in and fed Anna a spoon of the sauce "There is that better?"
Her eyes widened "This is so good" she raised a finger "Can I have another?"
Flora just chuckled.
Arthur then entered the kitchen "Anna there you are"
"Hey did you taste the sauce?" Anna went over to the boy "It tastes really really good"
Flora stirred "Well of course he does, this happens to be young master's favorite dish from mine"
"That's what he says about everything you cook" Merryweather entered the kitchen behind Arthur "Now you two get back to the dining hall before Flora feeds all the food to you"
"Yes ma'am" Arthur then led Anna out of the kitchen and into the dining hall "Hey, where's Elsa by the way?"
"She said she was going to fix her hair" Anna placed her hands on her hips "But now that I thought of it she fixed her hair almost seven times"
"Maybe you should have helped her" Arthur suggested.
"I did, but she said she didn't want me to" they were already in the dining hall and Arthur helped her sit down on one of the chairs before taking the one beside her.
Lady Pendragon saw the two children "Oh, now where's Elsa?"
"She's still in her room" Arthur answered.
"Is that so" the lady rang her bell and Merryweather came running towards her.
"Yes madam?" the maid dusted her skirts.
"Would you please call Elsa down, she might not know where the dining hall is" the lady spoke.
Anna protested "Elsa would never do that!" she waved her hand "She even knows where the stables are!"
Lady Pendragon just chuckled at the child "Well of course she does"
"Where's father?" Arthur asked.
"Well he went had to answer a phone call" she answered her son.
Anna suddenly leaned back on her seat.
"Something wrong Anna?" Arthur asked.
The girl seemed sad "So my mom and dad are never coming back?"
Both Pendragons looked at each other before looking at her again.
It was the missus who first spoke "Anna . . . it's not like they're going to be gone forever . . ."
"Yeah . . . I'm sure your mom and dad are just over there looking at you" Arthur gave her a smile "And I'm sure they'd be pretty sad if they see you sad"
Anna nodded "Maybe that's why Anna locked herself up" she played with her fingers "She never cried since mom and dad left on the airplane"
"I think that's a little too early for that" Uther said as he paced around the parlor room.
The man on the other line had a stern voice "But she won't be able to inherit her inheritance"
"She's simply a child!" Uther waved his hand "She's not even fifteen yet!"
"You know that by tradition we marry off our children at a much younger age"
Uther replied "There's been a lot of changes in tradition since that time and you know that very well"
"So if you rather not marry off your son to her I'm sure my son would be more than willing to"
"SHE JUST LOST HER PARENTS FOR GOODNESS SAKE!" Uther hung up the phone disgusted at the man, sometimes he wished his father wasn't that of a frisky man then.
"Who was that sir?" Merryweather's head popped up on the door.
"Oh it was my brother" Uther rubbed his temples.
"Oh you mean Lord Chernobog" the woman nodded.
Uther turned to the woman only to see another person behind the maid "Oh Elsa"
"So I have to marry?" she asked.
"No one is getting married!" Uther went kneeled in front of the girl "Don't worry about all the adult problems, just leave it to us, the adults"
"But what about my parent's fortune?" Elsa spoke "I won't be able to get it unless I marry right?"
"Elsa you're still twelve years old . . ."
Elsa raised her voice "I'm thirteen now!"
"Even so you're still too young to get married" Uther sighed and held the young girl's shoulder "Elsa, you and Anna are safe in here with me and your parents money will be secured until you are right of age to inherit them, there is no need to rush things"
"But . . ."
"Look at me Elsa" Uther held her chin "There's no need to be scared, me your aunt and Arthur will be here for you and your sister and I promise you we will never ever leave you alone"
Elsa looked at the floor "What if you break your promise?"
The man smiled "I never break I promise, I'll have to be dead to do so"

A/N: Ok classes just started for me so this was kind of delayed. I'll probably put more detail into Hans the next chapter (sorry). And since I got a new beta I'm sure the grammar will be more polished so yay.
So there tell me what you think on the reviews . . .
