Chapter 53

Author's note: Enjoy

The students sat in the dinner hall laughing and chatting to one another, Coral was sat frowning at her magical assignment.
"I can't believe it. Coral's studying!" Drusilla gawked trying to earn the attention of the brunette girl. Helga laughed.
"What are you on about Dru? She always studies for magic." Anastasia giggled watching the wrinkles increase on Coral's forehead, Vanessa rolled her eyes. Coral raised her hand and flicked her wrist, nothing happened.
"Facilier why don't you help her?"
"Why would I help her?" He asked sitting quietly next to Hans. Vanessa tilted her head to the side before wiggling her fingers at him.
"You do all that weird voodoo stuff." Vanessa said.
"Voodoo stuff? What voodoo stuff?" Facilier smirked in response. Helga and Drusilla began to snigger as Vanessa tried thinking hard about Facilier's tricks.
"You know, the whole masks, bats and stuff."
Facilier turned his head to Hans who gave him a don't-do-it look. Facilier leant closer to the girl,
"You mean... this?" He blew some dust off his palm and into Vanessa's face, she gasped and turned her head to the side to stare straight at a spider, she screamed and ran away from the table as everyone apart from Coral laughed at the sea witch.
"Facilier that was cruel... and uncalled for." Coral mumbled still staring, everyone turned their attention back to the girl.
"What are you doing?" asked Anastasia.
"I don't know!" She wailed throwing her hands up in the air before slamming her head on the table. Coral grabbed a forkful of food and shoved it in her mouth. "Mmm this grub is good, for once."
Hans looked at her and gave her a weird look. Coral took another forkful and filled her mouth once again.

Jasmine was sat staring at nothing.
"What's up Jasmine?" Rapunzel asked as she slipped in between Anna and Mulan.
"I miss Rajah." She prodded at her salad her mind running to her precious Tiger.
"Well you're not alone. I really miss Pascal." Rapunzel pouted as she thought of the chameleon.
"We all miss are animal friends." Mulan smiled as she split her chopsticks clean in half.
"Maybe we could all ask Mickey if they could visit." Anna added as she thought of Olaf and how much joy he brought both her and her sister.
"Well why don't y'all I'm sure even the villains have some sort of pet they'd like to see." Tiana called as she walked over to sit beside Naveen.

Adelaide sat herself down beside Elsa who was currently sipping hot tea then watching as her breath became visible in the air, the girls at the table giggled in amusement.
"So Snow how is Florian?" Snow White looked up from her dinner and smiled. "Oh he is just fine dear, thank you for asking."
Adelaide smiled back skeptically.
"So what went on with Hans today?" Elsa asked as she set her tea cup back on the table.
"What do you mean?" Adelaide answered, Elsa raised an eyebrow at her friend and folded her arms.
"You know exactly what I mean so don't play coy with me young lady." Elsa said, Adelaide blushed slightly and turned to look away from Elsa's inquisitive eyes.
"Nothing happened with Hans."
"He dragged you into a shaded corner and apologized. Something certainly happened."
"Elsa just leave it please. I really... really don't want to talk about it."
"Ok if you don't want to talk then I won't force you. How about you come out to the fountain with me then?"
Adelaide smiled and nodded.
"Sure that sounds nice." The two stood up and bid their farewells to the three princesses before moving through the dining hall.

Coral stared at Adelaide and Elsa as they passed, she squinted at the pair before gasping and turning back to her assignment. She stood up and took a few steps back before splaying her fingers forward and zapping the sheet of paper she had received in Jafar's lesson. The hall gasped in awe as it began to glow however it went out and zapped Coral. She gave a small squeak before falling backwards. She lay on the floor and stared up at the ceiling, the tasered feeling subsided. The school were sat with jaws dropped and many were waiting for her to scream out however nothing surprised the school more than the reaction the young pirate gave. Coral began to laugh. She rolled over into a sitting position and stared around the room,
"What the hell was that Coral?" Helga ground out as she leant down and yanked the girl off the ground.
"No idea Helga but that was fun."
"Fun... That was insane you could have gotten hurt or worse!" Helga exclaimed, Coral continued to chuckle dusting off her coat.
"Oh come on Helga lighten up... it wasn't even a little bit funny?" A small smile played on Helga's lips before it disappeared into her usual stern expression.
"No not even a little."
"Spoil Sport." Coral huffed.

Coral headed down towards the rooms with Vanessa and Anastasia by her side.
"Girls you don't need to stay with me." She said quietly eyeing the other two, Vanessa waved her off with her hand.
"Just let me get some spare clothes for tomorrow and we'll be fine." She said smiling before unlocking her door and walking in. Coral and Anastasia waited by the door.
"Sorry about this, but Vanessa insisted we stay with you tonight." Anastasia smiled holding both Coral's and her own bags. Coral closed her eyes and leant against the wall.
"Yeah, yeah... I get it. Just don't make a habit of it." She folded her arms and waited silently.
"Coral?!" Both girls snapped their heads to the side, to spot Adelaide, Elsa, Kida and Kronk looking at the villains with their jaws dropped. Coral pushed herself off the wall and pulled Anastasia back behind her.
"Princess..." She said staring at Adelaide in particular. Adelaide averted her gaze and Elsa stepped forward placing her hands delicately in front of her.
"Coral, Anastasia what are you doing here?" Just then Vanessa walked back out the door, smiling proudly.
"I got every...thing..." She stopped and stared before stepping next to Anastasia. Silence followed as Adelaide and Coral stayed silent one staring at the other and the other shuffling uncomfortably. Kida blew a loose strand of hair out of her face, before hitting Elsa lightly on her shoulder.
"We should get goin' bath and all."
"Right." Elsa replied "well this was... nice, but we had better get going. Vanessa are you staying with Coral?"
"Yes I am. Goodnight..." Vanessa pursed her lips together "let's go." She pushed Anastasia and the girls turned around and walked a few steps before turning back to Coral.
"Are you coming?" Anastasia asked, Coral's body twitched and Adelaide looked up.
"I guess so." She never took her eyes off the Princess, she began to head off after Vanessa and Anastasia when suddenly a body collided with hers.
"Ariel!" Elsa shouted as she landed on top of Coral, she made a move forward however was held back by Kronk. Groaning loudly Coral raised herself up onto her elbows, and opened her eyes to stare at the red head laying across her midriff.
"Ariel?" She raised an eyebrow and glanced around, Vanessa was stood with a glare aimed at Ariel, Anastasia looked horrified, Kida was holding back a laugh and Elsa and Kronk were staring at her apologetically.
"Ow..." Ariel sat up and tilted her head to look at the body "Coral! I'm so sorry!" She practically yelled at the other female. Coral just shook her head as Ariel pushed herself up slightly so her weight wasn't all on Coral's.
"Why don't you watch where you're going princess?!" Vanessa shouted angrily at the red haired princess, Ariel flinched and lowered her head causing Kida to glare over at the other female.
"I- I-"
"Vanessa." Coral said sharply, she raised one of her hands and placed it on top of Ariel's head patting lightly. "It's alright Ariel. What's the matter?"
"It's nothing really... just something silly I suppose." She began to pull away as Vanessa continued to glare down at her.
"Well it obviously wasn't something silly. You were running at full pelt."
Ariel bit her lips as she glanced round at the students watching their interaction, leaning close to the pirate's ear she whispered.
"Snow, Cinders and Belle were chasing me again." Coral's eyebrows raised as she took in what the young mermaid said.
"Hey princesses. Could you do me a favor?" Coral said, the four girls looked at each other before down at Coral.
"Uh sure." Elsa responded.
"Let Ariel sleep in your room tonight."
Adelaide turned her gaze from Coral to the shaking red head.
"You can have my bed tonight Ariel."
Ariel jumped up from the floor and ran to Adelaide.
"Are you sure?" Ariel asked, Adelaide nodded as she watched Coral pull herself up from the floor out of the corner of her eye.
"Right if that's settled can I suggest we get moving." Vanessa ground out as she grasped Coral's arm and began dragging her from the princesses causing Anastasia to run after the two.

Winter here!
