"Mom there's a storm out here all the flights are cancelled" Tiana told her mother on the phone.
Merida looked at the window, it was quite sunny outside.
"Yes mom I love you too bye" and with that Tiana hung up.
The Scot turned to her friend "Why did ya have to lie about da party?"
"Growing up in the land of Mardi Gras, parents like my mom would have enough reason to fear for any party" Tiana looked at the pile of dresses on her bed.
"But it's a Christmas party" Merida got off from the window.
Tiana lifted a tight red dress "Well it's a college one and Aurora Wellington is the host"
"Yeah, that's why I never tell my mom anything" Merida rubbed her nose "It took me awhile for her make me study here in America"
"Hmm, I'll just give this to Lottie" Tiana threw a few more dresses off her bed with Merida trying to dodge all of them.
"Just wear some Santa or elf costume!" Merida exclaimed after she was hit in the head by a corset.
Tiana did a laugh "Sorry about that" she then got the corset from her friend "Hey shouldn't you be the one dressing up you're the one with a date"
"And who is . . . oh you mean Aladdin?" she pointed with her thumb.
The Louisianan nodded "Uhuh, and here I thought you were getting friendly with Mr. Pendragon"
Merida did a mixture of a choke and a cough "Well that's . . . what we are . . ." she raised her hands "Friends"
"Well I'm sure Aladdin is alright too" Tiana picked up the clothes she had tossed "Man I wonder how mom managed to fit all of these on my trunk"
"Hey maybe you could ask that doctor from the hospital" Merida teased.
At mention of the man Tiana hissed "I'd rather go out right now wearing a swimsuit with a placard saying 'IMMA WHORE!'"

Arthur woke up that Thursday morning by the wailing of a woman. But when Arthur sat up and opened his eyes he realized that it wasn't from a woman.
It was from Kuzco who as per usual filled their room with his several piles of clothes and there were a couple of Arthur's as well.
"I HAVE NOTHING TO WEAR!" the man yelled at the mirror he then turned to Arthur "Oh there you're awake!"
Arthur blinked before lying down and putting the covers over him.
"OH COME ON WART!" Kuzco climbed up the ladder to the guy's bed "THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE ISSUE TO THE REPUBLIC OF ME!"
The Brit just groaned "Go bother some of your other subjects"
"Ok then" Kuzco got down "I assume you'd be alright if I used your wax . . ." he was stopped when Arthur threw a pillow at him hitting him right in the head. "Hey!"
The guy was still lying down in bed.
"Oh come on, this will be the last time!" the Incan waved his hands "Aren't you gonna buy Christmas presents?"
"Bought them already yesterday with Kronk" Arthur replied.
"So did you buy mine?" Kuzco clapped.
"The pillow was it Happy Kwanza"
Kuzco frowned and placed his hands on his hips "And here I got the problem of buying you a gift"
"Is it the same hair gel you've been giving me for the past four years?" Arthur asked.
Kuzco gasped "Why can't you appreciate the thought and the consistency!" he spread his arms "At least I give you gifts unlike Eleanor"
At this Arthur sat up and gave him a glare "Don't even speak of that . . . ."
"Just call her a skank it'll be good therapy for you" Kuzco then threw Arthur a jacket "Now get up we're going shopping" he snapped his fingers "Chop chop"

Elsa was walking around the Pendragon compound it was the second day of her stay in there and Anna already felt at home. It wasn't that difficult to adjust since their families tend to get together during the holidays, and Anna was always more sociable that her older sister.
Being the eldest of the Vinterdotter's Elsa had become aware of how much responsibility she held in her hands now that her parents were gone. She was aware that there will be several attempts of people for their fortune and whatever her father had kept sealed in the family vault.
And since her family was quite familiar in her homeland she wouldn't be surprised if some aspiring politician would try to have their children or them themselves marrying her.
She knew Uncle Uther was a man of his word, unlike other members of the Royal Family he wasn't much of a double-crosser.
"You're still worried about the whole marriage thing?"
Elsa jumped in shock making her lose her balance and slip.
"ELSA! WATCH FOR THE POT HOLES!" Arthur yelled as he chased the girl as she rolled down the hill.
The Scandinavian had finally stopped rolling after she had landed in a mud puddle which dirtied her purple dress.
Arthur was greeted by her icy glare as he tried to help her up, Elsa just took his hand because she kept on slipping every time she tried to stand up.
"Haven't your mother told you not to scare a lady!" Elsa scolded the little boy, not only was her dress covered in mud but her platinum hair was now colored brown.
He just looked down "I apologize malady"
"You clearly should!" she yelled before looking down "Now it's ruined"
Arthur bowed low "I'm sorry I really am, I should have never scared you like that it was really really wrong for me to do so. I'll try to get a new dress for you I swear I'll even work for it if you want to . . ."the boy babbled.
"You can't buy another dress like this . . ." she frowned "My mother sewed this"
Arthur gulped "She did?"
She nodded "Uhuh, during my birthday last year" she looked at the skirt "I even helped her a bit . . ."
The Brit was silent for a moment, he knew from what his mother told him that it wouldn't be long before she started to cry and that wouldn't be pretty. And before he knew it water started streaming on her face as she dropped to the floor and started crying.
"Don't worry I'm sure Merryweather will clean it good" he babbled guiltily "It's just filled with mud I'm sure there weren't that much . . ."
"THIS ISN'T ABOUT THE DRESS!" Elsa wailed "I miss my mother, I miss my father and now I have to keep face for Anna 'cause I'm the only one she's got and I'm still too young to hold much this responsibility!"
He blinked at her sudden outburst "Umm . . ."
"DON'T START TALKING!" she screamed "Just leave me alone" she whispered.
Arthur sat on the floor beside her "You know you don't need to act strong for Anna, she's actually worried about you"
Elsa sniffed "Why?"
"She said you never cried when you . . . said goodbye to your parents" he tried not look at her.
"That's 'cause I made a promise to them" Elsa clutched her dress.
"You don't have to act like a grown-up you know" Arthur looked at the sky "I'm sure your mother and father wouldn't like to see you sad all the time"
She looked at him "What makes you say that, you've never lost your parents"
"Just because they're dead doesn't make them any different right?" still looking at the clouds "Sure you don't see them, but they see you just from a distance"
Elsa decided to look at the sky as well, there were a lot of grey clouds in the sky "Who told you that?"
"Fauna" he then brought a handkerchief from his pocket "Here go clean yourself up"
She took it then proceeded to wipe the mud and tears from her face "Thank you"
"Look the reason why I came to find you was . . ."
She blew her nose "Anna told you?"
He shook his head "No . . . okay maybe she did but . . ." he still didn't face her "So everyone wants to marry you huh?"
She nodded "Yeah, the rule kinda sucks though"
"I heard Lord Chernobog called dad last night" Arthur placed his hands behind his head "He wants you to meet his son"
Elsa played with the handkerchief "Everyone wants me to meet their son"
"Why can't they just leave you alone you're only a kid" Arthur laid down on the grass "Just 'cause you had your period . . ."
"Arthur . . ."
"Sorry" the boy smiled "But still, Elsa you're a pretty girl those proposals won't stop anytime soon"
She thought for a moment "Can't you think of anything to stop this?"
"Nope" he closed his eyes "Not unless you want to . . ."
"I guess it's better than anyone else then . . ."
Arthur sat up "What!?"
"I don't want to marry Lord Chernobog's son" she was looking at him "I don't wanna marry anyone else but . . ."
/
"Hmm . . . I wonder what Edith would like for Christmas" Alice Pleasance wondered as she stood in the middle of the shopping district with people passing around her.
"Maybe you should get her a dozen nautili" Eilonwy said.
Alice looked at the girl who suddenly appeared beside her "Oh, and where do I get some?"
The older girl pointed at some direction "There was an old man selling there in one corner I'm sure he still has some"
"Thank you" Alice nodded then looked at the bag Eilonwy carried "Did you get some for your sister as well?"
Eilonwy shook her head "Oh no, Taran is allergic to mollusks" she showed her what was inside the bad "Instead I got him paintings made out of rat bones and cat fur"
Alice looked in awe "The person must be very special to you"
Eilonwy put the painting back in the bag "Yes . . . I just forget to tell him that sometimes"
"Madam Madam!" a frantic old man started to approach them.
Eilonwy recognized the person "Aren't you the man who sells nautilus?"
"Oh so you're him" Alice went to him "I want to buy a dozen of your product"
"That's the thing I can't sell anymore!" the old man waved his arms "Some punk just came over to my stand and grabbed them all, madam you've got to help me"
Alice blinked her eyes "So . . . no more?"
"NO MORE!" the man wasn't sure if he were talking to a little girl now.
"I'm sure he hadn't gone too far" Eilonwy grabbed both Alice's hand and the old man's "Now let's go ask the Wizard of Oz"
The old man face-palmed "I should have went to the police"
"Don't worry sir I'm sure we can find the lions to help you" Alice said hopefully.
/
A salesclerk was standing outside the changing room with several pieces of clothing covering him she almost looked like a coat rack, she had been serving the same man for five hours and they had covered almost every rack in the store.
"Ok what do I look like in this?" Kuzco came out wearing an orange and brown snorkel coat with brown pleats with aviator sunglasses.
Arthur was seated on the sofa with several bags around him he had his elbow rested on the arm rest "You look like Ghostbusters meet 50 Thousand Feet under the Sea"
"Hmm . . ." Kuzco looked at himself again in the mirror "I kinda like the idea"
"Good" Arthur stretched "But if you start whining about your outfit halfway there I swear I will offer you to that bear cult Kenai keeps talking about"
The Incan froze in his posing "You don't dare!" he marched towards the Brit and poked his chest "You want them to turn me into a bear!?"
"Hey the transformation depends on your personality" Arthur raised his hands "Who knows you might turn into a llama"
Kuzco rolled his eyes "Oh sure that would . . ." he was cut off when somebody suddenly dragged Kuzco and brought him back to the dressing room even locking the door.
"What the . . ." the person covered Kuzco's mouth and placed a knife against his head.
Outside the dressing room the salesclerk was starting to wonder what she just saw "Did a hobo just lock him in the dressing room?"
"A big one to be exact" Arthur confirmed.
The lady threw the clothes on the floor "Well I AIN'T ASSISTING YOU THERE!" and with that she left them.
Arthur knocked on the dressing room door "Hey Kuzco, are you alive?"
There was heaving kicking.
"Hey mister!" A young blonde girl tapped his back "Did you see the Wizard?"
Arthur looked at the girl she seemed to be a high school student but he had a memory of seeing her in the campus "Um . . . define the wizard?"
"He's small, has black skin doesn't know his name and really really ugly" she described.
That was when the door opened "NO ONE CALLS GASTON UGLY!" the man held Kuzco by the neck.
Alice hopped and clapped "Oh there he is!"
Gaston since the jail incident has longer hair, had grown a beard and wore a large leather trench coat with only a red shirt inside. He wore no pants and his hairy legs were quite noticeable.
"Aren't you a lion?" Alice asked Arthur "Why don't you go bite him?"
Arthur repeatedly smacked his head "Wake up, Wake up, Wake up"
Kuzco gasped "KEEEE….lppppp"
"Mr. Wizard could you please put the llama down and give back the shells you've stolen from Toto" Alice blinked her eyes.
Gaston looked at her "Then don't call me ugly" he snarled.
"No sir I can't tell a lie" Alice pouted "My sister wouldn't like me lying"
Kuzco was now flailing his arms "Ca . . . can't bleaaaat"
After smacking himself several times Arthur realized he wasn't dreaming and decided to help his dying roommate. While Gaston was busy chatting with Alice, Arthur took an umbrella from the stand and crept up behind the large man.
"Good his vein's exposed . . ." before the boy could launch an attack someone had suddenly entered the store.
"Sir would you like a drink?" Eilonwy now held a bottle of Chianti in one hand and a wine glass in another.
Right behind her was the old man along with officers Wynchel and Duncan.
"Alright pal drop the kid before we make any funny moves" the taller one spoke.
Gaston turned around "You dare stop Gaston?!"
"Ok this guy is psycho I think we need back up" Duncan grabbed his walkie-talkie "Hey people get the fellas from the psychiatric ward"
"Gaston is not crazy!" he tossed Kuzco away like a rag doll in his anger making the Incan land on a tie rack.
Alice gasped "You threw the llama away!" she then went to help the poor guy.
Eilonwy had now poured herself a drink "Hmm, that little fairy reminds me so much of someone"
"Kid get out" Duncan told Arthur "Who knows what this big guy's gonna do"
"I say we hit this guy in the head!" Wynchel raised his baton and started hitting the large man Duncan followed suit.
"Why you . . ." Gaston then threw them both in one push. Wynchel hitting the entrance of the shop and Duncan hitting Kuzco just when he was about to get up.
The old man shook his head "Never rely on mall security"
"They are cute donuts" Eilonwy went over to Wynchel and started to sniff him "He smells like walnuts"
"Madam I believe you've drank a bit too much" the old man tried to pull Eilonwy away.
"Mr. Donut get off before the llama eats you!" Alice said pulling the large man up.
Kuzco apparently knocked his head "Wishy-washy bobo-bobo . . . dama SOOOOOO!" he then lost consciousness.
/
"Merida come on you've got to help me I've got nothing to wear!" Anna had already scanned through her wardrobe and even tried three of Tiana's dresses.
The Scot was busy watching on Netflix while eating donuts "Then you should have went shopping Tiana and the others a while ago"
Anna crossed her arms "Wonder if Elsa would lend me some of her clothes"
"Sure go ahead" Merida waved her hand "I wonder why Americans keep copying British television"
"Then why do you ever bother watching if you think they're rip-offs" Anna went to see what her friend was watching "Hey I love Orange is the New Black"
Merida closed her laptop "Kida recommended it, and I'm not saying it's bad. I actually liked The Office"
"Hey don't you have a date?" Anna asked sitting next to Merida on her bed.
"You know very well I do and just love to bring it up" Merida stood up "What time is the party again?"
"Seven . . ." she laid down "Hey you never told me who you got on the Secret Santa thing"
Merida grabbed a paper from her pocket and dropped it on Anna's lap "There"
Anna read the receipt "You bought a Playboy 2015 calendar?" her eyes widened as she read this.
"Whenever I asked what type of person Peter Pan was they always said the same thing: mischievous" she spread her arms.
Anna was still looking at the receipt "You could have just brought him something prank device or something"
Merida raised a brow "Prank device?"
"Well something you know what the Weasley twins from Harry Potter would get" Anna shrugged.
"Hmmm" Merida nodded "Good point, but it's a shame to just dispose of such an artful calendar"
Anna gagged "Good thing you didn't show the calendar"
"Wait what do I have . . . here!" and at once Merida shoved Miss January's cover into Anna's face.

"Woah whatever you got must be big" Mulan commented as Esmeralda tried to drag her quite big package to the Christmas tree.
"You . . . know . . . helping . . . isn't bad" the gypsy panted.
The Chinese girl just took a mochi ball from the table "Well you already put it there"
Esmeralda frowned "Some friend you are"
"I'm the best . . ." before Mulan could put another mochi ball in to her mouth Aurora slapped her hand "Hey"
"Hey yourself . . ." Aurora was dressed in one of those red Santa dresses with the black boots and the hat. "Did you put your gift by the tree" she then whistled for someone to come.
"Yes ma'am" it was a petite girl with short dirty blonde hair in pigtails and a face that kinda reminded you of the kids during the Great Depression; she wore a little elf get-up complete with fake ears and held a clipboard in her hand.
Aurora introduced the girl "This is Penny Sharp, and she'll be taking charge of all the gifts so no one will complain again like last year"
Mulan and Esmeralda looked at each other before looking at her "You hired a child?"

Kuzco woke up later at the police station with a very bad headache and unmoving legs "Hey righty move" he tried to lift his left foot "Oh right you're lefty . . . ok I know you're mad that I didn't get your name right but you have to cooperate with me"
Again he tried lifting his foot "Ok . . . come on here . . . move" after several attempts he had finally managed to move his left foot. "OK, righty why don't you move . . . we start at one . . ." he was then cut off when he fell off the bench he was sleeping on.
He landed on his face and his legs were doing some yoga position "I guess it's back to step one" he muttered.
The door opened and it was Eilonwy "Oh there you are Kuzco we don't have time for origami"
"People have called me plastic but never paper" Kuzco lifted his head from the floor "A little help here please"
After a few minutes of trying to get Kuzco in an upright position both he and Eilonwy went in front of the station to see both Alice and Arthur were still being questioned in separate rooms.
Alice was being questioned by Wynchel while Arthur was being questioned by Duncan.
Alice . . .
"So" the tall man started "Where were you on December 31, 1934?"
The girl thought for a moment "I think I was trying to ask directions from tweedledee and tweedledumb on how to get to the castle"
Wynchel brought out a notepad and wrote them down "And then . . ."
"What they were saying were completely contradictory of each other one said go left the other said go right, one said fried eggs are better the other said it was boiled eggs, one said panties are better . . ."
Wynchel nearly dropped his note pad "How old are you again?"
Arthur . . .
"So" the large man started "Where were you on the night your mother gave birth to you?"
Arthur gave the guy a weird look "Umm . . . crying . . . trying to get out?"
"Are you sure you ain't playing jokes with me pal?" Duncan slammed his fists on the table.
"What does my birth have to do with anything?" Arthur asked "Not unless you're one of those philosophical police men"
"We are not talking about physics we are talking about how the universe was made, was it by a donut or was it by the farting gods?" he pulled Arthur's collar "Answer me!"
Arthur was starting to wonder if everyone around him took LSD or was it just him.
/
"Ok do you think this outfit looks ok?"
"Does this make my butt look fat?"
"Darling do you think I put too much foundation or too little of it?"
Merida had finally had enough and turned around at the debating girls "Would ya all just chill will ya?!" she pointed at each one of them "I've had enough of your make-up and fashion tutorials to fill in two issues of Cosmopolitan!"
Anna was wearing a gold and black gown with a single strap with a metallic golden belt and black chunky heels, her hair was done in a ponytail.
Tiana wore a white art deco dress with pink hells and a corduroy jacket, the girl even had her black hair straightened.
Charlotte wore a flowy pastel dress with a skin colored belt and hells and kept her usual hairstyle.
"Well not our problem you look good in anything" Anna rolled her eyes.
Tiana snickered "Nice one" and they did a high five.
Charlotte La Bouff on the other hand seemed clueless "I don't get it"
Merida had simply worn a white cotton sweater with a zipper on the side and leather pants along with boots.
The Scot just groaned and decided to continue walking towards Aurora's sorority house in which Merida still doesn't know if it's Alpha Mega Beta or Omega Beta Titan.
When they finally reached the door it was Merida who still knocked on the door because Anna accidently stepped of Charlotte's dress tail.
It was Pocahontas who opened the door "Hey welcome . . ." she went over to her friends "Aren't they a little too overdressed?"
"I knew I should have went with the American flag!" Charlotte wailed.
Pocahontas waved her hand "Hey it's cool, don't worry just make sure Aurora doesn't see you"
"Doubt that would happen" Merida said as she entered the sorority house.
"Well at least try" Pocahontas then closed the door after every one of them entered.
"Hey Anna avoid the lights will ya?" Tiana said shielding her eyes after one of the spotlights reflected on her.
"Sorry, I thought this was an outdoor party" Anna tried to get away from the spotlight.
Tiana followed her "You'd be even more noticeable if it were"
"Hey, nice dress you've got there" Tarzan suddenly came up behind Charlotte.
The girl seemed to like the attention "Well, I always wear the best" she chuckled.
Merida tried to get away from the scene, one of the things she hated about these sort of parties was the hooking up part, sure she kissed a few boys in her time but she would rather start knitting with her mother before she would go second base with a guy.
"Food, food where are you glorious food" Merida chanted as she tried to make her way through the crowd, after pushing awkwardly dancing through she finally managed to find the table.
"Oh there you are!" someone exclaimed before Merida had the chance to put the jerky in her mouth.
She turned around to see who called her "Oh hi Al"
The guy was wearing a plaid polo and khaki pants "Sorry I kind of ditched you earlier" he rubbed the back of his head.
"Oh it's no biggy" Merida waved her hand "Not the first time a guy stood me up"
"Really?" Al did a weak smile.
"Though it was the first time I waited for what an hour and a half?" she nodded "Yeah I think it went that way"
The Arabian raised his hands "Ok I'm sorry, I overslept last night while playing COD with Peter last night"
Merida first chewed her beef jerky "Peter . . . you mean Pan right?"
"Uh . . . yeah" he said.
She took another piece of jerky "So you're friends with him?"
"Yeah we are" he didn't know where this was leading.
"Do you think he'd like a Playboy Calendar as a Christmas gift?"
/
"Why didn't you just buy your own car" Kuzco complained as they were stuffed in a taxi headed for Disney "Even without your inheritance you could buy one"
"For the tenth time I'm saving for my masters!" Arthur was glad he choose to seat in front.
"You'd have your inheritance by then!" Kuzco waved his arms hitting the two blonded seated beside him in the process "You know what we could even start a bar with that cash"
Arthur rolled his eyes "Kuzco unlike you I actually know the value of money"
"Everyone knows the value of money, money buys you stuff simple as that" the Incan then added "The inflation rate just makes things a bit complicated"
Eilonwy tapped Arthur shoulder "Hey" she whispered "Is Taran still mad at me?"
"I haven't seen him since Kronk's humanities performance" Arthur whispered back.
The girl sighed "I see" she leaned back to her seat at stared guiltily at the window.
Alice noticed the girl's plight "Excuse madam are you alright?"
Eilonwy gave the girl a small smile "Nothing, the Nargles seem to be bothering me"
"Ok I read Harry Potter once and still don't know what a Nargle is" Kuzco commented.
"I didn't even read the books" Arthur admitted.
"YOU DIDN'T!?" Alice gasped.
"I didn't know you were heartless!" Kuzco pointed.
"Sir Lion have you ever had a childhood?" Alice asked.
"He probably ate raw hearts and fresh liver for breakfast" Kuzco shook his head in disgust "And for shame you're even a Brit"
Arthur turned to Eilonwy "Hey a little help here"
"Just tell them you read the Quiddich book and you're good" she said before she remained silent throughout the ride.
"You read the Quiddich book but you didn't read the actual books!" Kuzco did hand gestures.
"You said you only read Harry Potter once" Arthur countered.
"I did but it was a life changing book!" Kuzco pointed.
Alice chimed "The llama is speaking the truth"
"Can we please not have this debate" Arthur turned to the driver "Don't you have a partition or something?"
Automatically the driver pressed a button and a black screen divided those seating in front and those at the back.
Arthur sighed "Thank you"
"No problem, was always a Tolkien fan" the driver said.
Arthur looked at the driver's large feet "Hmm . . . I can see"
/
"So uncle Uther owns those hills too?" Anna pointed as she and Fauna went in search for Elsa and Arthur to prepare for supper.
The maid nodded "Up until the river over there" she pointed.
"Wow" Anna then ran ahead of the older woman enjoying the wide open space.
"Miss Anna please get back here!" Fauna lifted her skirts in order to chase the young girl.
Anna really loved the wind slapping her face the faster she ran, she felt like those stallions that coincidently were running nearby.
Fauna was panting furiously chasing her, things like running around and heavy labor were given to Merryweather.
The Scandinavian was about to really chase the horses when she saw two people coming towards her direction.
"Elsa! What happened to your dress?!" Anna ran and stopped in front of her sister.
The older Vinterdotter gave her sister a smile "Oh this, Arthur made me fall off the hill and I landed on some mud puddle"
Anna quickly pushed Arthur "That's really mean of you Arthur!" she continued doing this until he fell to the ground.
"Anna!" her sister scolded "You didn't have to do that!"
Arthur raised his hand "It's alright I deserved it"
"Of course he does" Anna huffed.
Elsa sighed at her sister's antics "Really sorry about that" she said helping the boy up.
Finally Fauna had caught up with the children "Oh . . . young . . . master . . . miss . . . Elsa . . ."
"You don't need to say it" Arthur dusted his slacks "We'll get ready for dinner"
Anna looked at the sky "I didn't know it was that late"
"Thanks for helping me up" Arthur said before helping a very tired Fauna get back to the estate.
When the two sisters were left alone Anna asked "Why didn't you get mad at him?"
"I did" Elsa answered.
"Really, then why does he still look fine?" Anna wondered "You made all the boys back home cry back to their mommies"
Elsa shook her head "That's because he's doing me a really big favor" she patted her head.
Anna frowned when her sister did this "I'm not a little kid anymore"
"Oh really . . ." the older one smirked "So I can't do this!" she started spraying mud on Anna's clothes.
The younger one screamed "ELSA!" she laughed as Elsa continued to tickle her to the ground.
/
It was getting pretty ridiculous for Anna and Tiana to hide from the host and they hadn't even placed their gifts by the tree yet.
"Why are we hiding from Aurora again?" Tiana asked as they had to hide behind an aquarium when Aurora passed by "I mean Lottie over there is flirting with how many guys right now"
"Well Charlotte has men barricading her so she's safe" Anna explained "And we both know what Aurora does whenever someone dresses better than her, remember what happened to Shanti last year?"
Tiana sighed in remembrance "Well Phillip was tutoring her then so it wasn't the whole she kinda dresses better issue"
"Then we'll include Phillip in our 'list of people to avoid'" Anna nodded.
"Girl if you start saying list it will be a list" Tiana then spotted a certain someone "What the fuck is he doing here"
Anna gasped "Tiana your language!"
"Yup definitely a list" Tiana was about to drag Anna to another place when they were already spotted.
"Well, what are darling ravens as yourself doing hiding behind here?" it was the tall doctor from the hospital.
Tiana seethed as she tried not to look at the man, she was sure he did not recognize her yet.
Anna on the other hand looked at the man and gasped "Doctor Maldonia, what are you doing here?"
The doctor squinted his eyes since it was quite dark in that corner of the room "Oh, Anna! Everyone went into a total panic looking for you before!"
The Scandinavian did a chuckle "Well I'm ok now"
"Glad to see that" he lifted his brows "And my that dress makes you shine in the crowd"
"Literally" Tiana muttered.
"Hmmm . . ." he leaned over "And who is this young lady here?"
"Well Anna we better get going . . ." Tiana still hadn't face the man yet as they tried to leave.
But the doctor wouldn't allow it "Wait a minute I've heard that voice . . . you sound quite familiar"
"Tiana you've met Dr. Maldonia?" Anna asked.
"Shut up and move" Tiana was 'this' close to escaping when she just had to trip on one of the wires for the speakers, dragging Anna down with her.
The man helped both girls up "You know running in the dark in heels are never a good idea"
"Thanks for reminding me" Tiana groaned.
"Tiana why are you so bitter?" Anna dusted her dress.
It was when Dr. Maldonia helped Tiana up that he got a good look of her face "Well well well, if it isn't the coffee girl"
"Coffee girl?" Anna blinked in confusion.

Aladdin blinked in surprise "You got Peter a Playboy Calendar?"
"Why is everybody making it a big deal?" Merida crossed her arms.
"I'm not it's just . . . then again you don't seem like a normal girl" he rubbed his chin "Why haven't I met you before?"
Merida shrugged "The lab rats controlling the earth didn't think we were ready"
Aladdin blinked "What?"
"Hitchhiker's Guide to the Universe" she grabbed a plate and started filling it with food.
"Ohh . . . was that the book that made 42 the answer to the universe?" Aladdin went to grab a plate as well.
Merida nodded "Yup, funny movie too" she saw the box that was visible on the back pocket of Al's pants "So who'd you pick?"
"Oh Penny Sharp" he said grabbing a lot of gingerbread cookies "I had to ask her ex-boyfriend what she liked"
"Well that must have been an awkward conversation for you" Merida saw there were only three gingerbread left "You know there's more food in here"
"I just like to piss Aurora on food stocking" Aladdin grabbed a few drinks "Hey wanna go up it's nice and quiet up there"
Merida shrugged "Sure, I already got tired of Mariah's voice and they just had to add Justin Bieber into the mix"
Aladdin laughed "Hey I actually liked the song"
"Liked" she quoted as they went up the stairs, there were a couple of couples on the second floor but it was still too early.
"Hmm, Aurora probably didn't bring out the alcohol yet" Aladdin said as he opened the door to the balcony with his foot.
"What do you mean?" Merida took a seat in one of the couches.
"Well I think it was around when the football team won the championships last year and everyone was so wasted they nearly demolished the frat house the party was being held at, since then Aurora made sure to bring the alcohol in late" Aladdin summed up the story.
"What if everyone still got wasted?" Merida ate a brownie.
"I think that's why she called people from graduate schools" he shrugged "Don't know if that will help either"
Merida looked down to see the incoming guests "Kuzco flamboyant as usual"
"He looks like those crazy European disco dudes" Aladdin commented.
"More like Ghostbusters meet Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea" she then spotted Arthur with some blonde girl "Hmm . . . who's that girl?"
Al took a look "That's Eilonwy aka Looney"
"I know who she is and don't call her a Looney" she pointed at the girl next to Arthur "I'm asking who's that one"
"I think she's a freshman" Al turned to Merida "So, what you doing this break?"
"Freshman huh?" Merida took a hard bite at the brownie "Just because you're baby faced"
Al blinked "Baby-faced?"
Merida jumped "Oh sorry, what were you asking again?"
He shook his head "Never mind"

"Are you sure it's a good idea to bring her here?" Arthur asked Eilonwy as he looked at the several men eying Alice.
"It'll be good for her social networking" Eilonwy still held her bags and was wondering where to put them.
"Networking?" Arthur looked at her incredulously "Unlike you she doesn't have a guy who snarls at every dude that tries to hit on her"
Eilonwy glared at him "You do know I picked you on the Secret Santa"
"And I expect a wallet made from several frog hearts" Arthur did a thumbs up.
"Too expensive" and with that she disappeared from the crowd.
Arthur sighed then started to go after Alice.
A/N: Had exams so didn't check the grammar of this much.
Thanks to Silenced Storm for favoring me, even though I only wrote one thing.
I nearly went too deep into King Arthur lore and almost put in stuff from Camelot and Merlin but I stopped myself before that happened.
Again reviews and favorites are appreciated.
Also I hate the word forever right now.
