Walt Disney College

Chapter 15

It was Monday morning, a day after all the madness.

Isabel sat at her regular table in the cafeteria for breakfast, waiting for her friends to come.

"Hi Isabel!" Alice smiled, sitting down next to her.

"Hey Alice."

"What's doing well my ladies?" Taran sat down next to Alice.

"Everything's fine. Except for the whole, 'losing USB and all the work we did' thing." Isabel said sarcastically.

"Yeah, that's a real bummer." Taran agreed.

Alice looked around for Eilonwy. she couldn't see her anywhere.

"Do you guys know where Eilonwy is?" She asked.

"She's not here. Maybe she's working on something, and she's missing breakfast." Taran said, eating his waffle.

Alice just mumbled a response and continued eating.

Janitor Pete swept the hallways until he came across something weird.

"What's this?" He grumbled as he picked up a slimy textured mixture.

He put it into a container and dropped it in what he is thought was the trash.

But no, it was a box full of tiny pink pieces of styrofoam, and some object that was being shipped somewhere.

Too bad janitor Pete didn't know how much trouble he had just caused.

"Penny! Penny!" Violet woke her friend from her trance, "Hiro was asking a question."

"Sorry. What did you say?"

"Did you see something gooey? Very slimy? Pinkish blue perhaps?"

"Uh...no? Are you describing a blobfish?" Penny shuddered.

"What? No!" Hiro scowled but a smile tugged at his lips.

"Apparently it has the power to blow up the school, burn something, harden..."

"And how do you know all of this?" Violet teased Wilbur.

"Because he told me the basics."

Tinkerbell, Wendy, Lilo, and Tiger Lily walked past the group, over to their own breakfast table.

"Ladies!" Wilbur stopped them.

"Uh...yes?" Wendy answered.

"Hiro, want to explain?" Wilbur said.

"Oh sure so you see I lost this-" Hiro stopped speaking when he saw Tiger Lily.

"You lost what?" Tinkerbell asked.

"I...um, I-I lost a-"

Wendy narrowed her eyes at him. "If this is a joke, it's not funny."

"What kinda joke would this be Wendy? You obviously have no experience in joking." Lilo remarked.

"I happen to know that I am incredibly funny." Wendy huffed.

"Lilo, at least try to be nice." Tiger Lily said through grit teeth.

Nobody knew what was wrong with Hiro. Wilbur gave his friend a once over.

"Hiro lost this thing that looks like a mix of pink and blue slime. Have you seen it?" He asked.

"Sorry, haven't seen anything." Tinkerbell shrugged.

"Yeah, haven't seen anything." Wendy said and left.

Lilo sighed frustratedly and followed the three girls.

"Dude, your tongue didn't even work out there! What's wrong?" Wilbur asked.

"N-nothing." Hiro stuttered.

"I think I already know." Violet smiled.

Penny wore a frown on her face. The smirk Violet was wearing made her feel like she should be trying harder to figure out what was odd about Hiro's stuttering.

Then she understood. So did Wilbur.

"Ooooh. Hiro has a crush? How interesting." He smirked.

"On who?" Penny had figured out the crush part, but just not who.

"Let me take a wild guess. Tiger Lily?" Violet said.

Hiro blushed a deep red and looked down at his tray.

"Fine. Hide all you want, but we know your secret now." Violet laughed.

Penny chewed her food, staring at the table across from them. Staring at Tinkerbell, Wendy, Lilo, and Tiger Lily.

"So...when did this crush start?" She asked.

"Yeah, give us details." Wilbur said.

If it was even possible, Hiro's face got redder.

"Um...since the end of first term." He murmured.

"Since then?" Violet smirked, "I am going to make it my mission, for you to talk to her."

"Please Violet, I can't do that." Hiro begged, but Violet still looked smug.

"So you're just gonna go up to him and say it?" Fawn asked Iridessa.

"Yep, I guess I just feel more confident being the size of a human." She smiled.

"Really?" Fawn asked, "I guess I've always been confident."

Iridessa took a deep breath. "Wish me luck."

"Good luck!" Fawn grinned.

Iridessa walked into Mr. Hatter's classroom. She needed to talk to him.

"Good day Mr. Hatter!" She said brightly.

"Well it's absolutely splendididy if you ask me!" Mr. Hatter said in his usually crazy manner.

Iridessa ignored his weird ways and said, "I need to talk to you about the assignment."

"What about it? Don't doubt it? You'll love it love it when we make sparkly dragon scales."

"Uh...these ingredients...how on earth do we find them! Like, 'toenail of a Jabberwocky' what the heck is that?"

"Dangerous stuff." Mr. Hatter muttered.

He's mad. He's completely mad. Iridessa thought.

"Is it too late to switch classes? Maybe if I could switch to...health with Mrs. Potts?" Iridessa asked, though she was secretly pleading.

Mr. Hatter was a...weird guy, but he was a fun teacher. Iridessa wanted to switch because she knows there is no way she's going to finish that project, and that means fail.

"Yup, you're late, you're late, as the white rabbit would say, 'I'm late'!"

Iridessa sighed. "Fine." Then she left the classroom.
