"Hey, okay, I have an idea," Fawn said.

Lottie perked up. "Great! I wanna hear it, I'm tired and I'm hungry and I don't want peanuts!"

"We have more than just peanuts you know we have—"

"Not now Timon," Naveen said.

"Okay, so Andy's a pretty attractive guy—"

"How is you talking about how Andy looks good going to help us?" Milo asked.

Fawn's face burned, and she hoped Andy didn't notice.

"If you could let me explain Milo. A lot of people travel to Pennsylvania. Andy could just go near the road, wave over a car of easily persuadable college girls, and ask for a drive to the store to get what we need."

Wendy laughed. "That's stupid."

"Well do you have a better idea Wendy?" Alice asked.

"It seems...okay. Maybe bring Hercules too though," Lottie suggested.

"How do we get back though? Asking for a ride back might be a little much."

Hercules nodded. "Andy's right."

"Wait a second. We're idiots," Tiana said.

"What?"

"Excuse me?"

"I don't know about you guys but I—"

"Fawn can fly. I mean you can just summon your wings right? And try not get spotted. Then use pixie dust to bring the motor back!"

"Why didn't we think of that?" Isabel said.

"That's good. The Herc and Andy one can be Plan B," Tarzan joked.

Fawn nodded slowly. "Okay then, I'll be back."

Penny skipped breakfast that morning. She didn't feel like seeing anybody, all she saw this morning was her roommate, Riley.

Kim Possible had come up to her that morning though, asking weird questions.

"Have you seen anything glowy and green and suspicious?" she had asked.

"Uh...no. Why?" Penny asked, obviously lying.

"It could be dangerous. Ron and I are just making sure everyone is safe."

"Dangerous in what way? Green and glowy doesn't seem dangerous to me, ha." Penny chuckled awkwardly.

"Are you kidding me? My first class here, I was taught always stay away from glowing green. Almost every Disney Villain uses that colour for evil. Maybe even other villains, but I don't know of that."

Fear tumbled in Penny's stomach. "Oh wow, I didn't know that."

"Yeah. Another question, have you seen Jim by any chance?"

"Jim...Hawkins?"

"Well yes! Who else?"

"No...last time I saw him he was with Merida, sorry."

"Oh. Well do you know where Merida is then?"

"Probably in the cafeteria or at the archery range. I mean, classes are about to start so maybe not..."

Penny heard the first bell ring.

"Oh, got to go Kim! I'll let you know about that green thing if I see it!"

Penny had to find out more about that stick.

Mowgli had finished his first two classes, and was now trying to find Merida, the curly red headed girl.

He'd seen her compete in the archery competition, so maybe he would find her at the range.

Sure enough Merida was there, but so was Kim. Usually if you saw Kim Ron would be behind her, or she'd be following Jim. But Mowgli couldn't see either of them.

He ducked behind a row of barrels and waited for the girls to finish their conversation.

"Kim, I don't know where Jim is!" Merida snapped.

"But everyone I asked said he would be here!"

Merida frowned. "Why are you looking for him anyway? I can take a message."

Kim's face glowed red and she started to stutter.

Merida sighed. "Kim, this probably won't be easy for you to hear but Jim is not interested in you. I'm sure if you look around, there is a great guy out there who really likes you, and would be a better fit for you than Jim."

Merida was talking about Ron of course, but Kim didn't understand that.

"I...I just want him to talk to me," Kim spoke.

"Maybe now is not the best time. If I see him, I'll let you know. I need quiet while I practice. Goodbye."

Kim left, not noticing Mowgli as she passed. Mowgli heard some rustling, and soon heard the voice of Jim.

"Thanks Merida. I just didn't want to deal with her right now."

Merida grunted. "Listen, you need to tell her you're not interested because she won't take my word for it, you have to be the one to stop it."

Mowgli heard something zip through the air, and he assumed it was Merida's arrow. He decided this would be the best time to approach them.

"Heyyy Jim, Merida."

Jim jumped back, startled, and Merida seemed ready to release another arrow.

Jim cocked his head. "Mowgli?"

"Didn't mean to scare you guys, sorry."

"You know this kid?" Merida said.

"Yeah. Um...so what are you here for? Need directions or something?" Jim asked.

Mowgli shrugged. "I guess you could say that. I'm here cause I want in."

Merida looked at Mowgli questioningly. "In on what?"

"You know I've always wanted an adventure Jim! You let her in, right?"

Merida glances at Jim then turned again to Mowgli. "Again, in on what?"

Jim sighed. "Mowgli, I didn't ask Merida anything."

Mowgli raised his eyebrows.

"I was going to ask her if she wanted to come, but I decided it's a mission best for just me to go alone."

Merida finally caught up. "Are you talking about Jim's map?"

Mowgli nodded and crossed his arms.

Jim was confused. "How do you even know about that?"

"I see things Jim. I hear things. Listen, I'll be very essential to this journey of yours. I've had a lot of experience in the jungle."

"Trust me, I don't need you." Jim brushed passed Mowgli and Merida and started to walk away.

"Oi." Merida held him back. "You and Mowgli aren't going anywhere without me. You're not going anywhere without me."

Mowgli smirked. "If you don't let me come with you I'll tell Ms. Mirage what you're doing. You know how she gets with these things..."

"You wouldn't..."

"Don't tempt me Jim."

Merida nodded in approval. "Hey, the kid knows how to blackmail gotta appreciate that."

Jim looked back and forth between the two then gave a low sigh.

"Fine. Both of you can come."
