All nine princesses sat in the Dining Hall, laughing and eating and enjoying the whole get-together. Cinderella was happy that she lost her feeling of loneliness, and got a new sense of love and friendship.
Mulan looked at the clock. "Aya! It is already noon! I must get home quickly!"
Belle wiped her mouth with a napkin. "But you've only been here a few hours!"
"Yes, but I was assigned to evacuate the city of Xianghua. Shang told me it's not far from here."
Cinderella snapped her fingers. "Yes! I know that place! Perhaps I could accompany you."
Mulan smiled. "Of course you can, Cindy. How nice of you to offer."
"Oh, may I come along?" Aurora chimed in. "Philip has to be somewhere, and I don't like being alone..." she stared off into the window, wondering if her husband felt the same.
And soon enough, all of the princesses packed up and followed Mulan and Cinderella to the city of Xianghua. When they arrived, the town was empty.
Cinderella gasped. "Empty! Are you sure this is the right city?"
Mulan took a scroll out of her pack and read through it. "Yes, it says here. Xianghua. Is this supposed to be some trick?"
Ariel clapped her hands. "Trick? I love tricks. One time, Flounder and I--"
"Not now, Ariel," Pocahontas interrupted. "There is a more important matter at hand."
Mulan stomped her foot. "This is terrible! A city needs to be evacuated from an attack, and we're not even where we're supposed to be!"
"Maybe someone already did the job," suggested Jasmine.
"But that can't be!" complained Mulan. "I was the only one assigned on this mission, with another man, he was new..."
"Do you know his name?" Snow White asked.
"I don't remember. I know he had a gun, and he was tall with big muscles. He was kind of arrogant, saying that he took on bigger things before."
"Probably he's in one of our movies," Tiana spoke up.
"Yes!" Mulan answered. "I've seen him in Belle's movie." She looked at Belle hopefully.
Belle groaned. "Gaston! But he's dead."
Mulan whooped. "Yes, that was his name! He said to us many times, 'No one could kill Gaston, not even death!'"
"Well, that's Gaston for ya." Belle stated. "But what would he want with a city? Obviously, LeFou was the man who assigned you on this mission, so the whole thing was a fake."
Ariel rubbed her forehead. She was trying to keep up with them. "So why do you think Gaston joined the Chinese army?"
The princesses put their heads together and tried to think of what gaston really wanted, but they couldn't figure it out.
"I know!" Snow White said suddenly. "We could all go back to my castle and ask the magic mirror!"
"That's a good idea, Snow," Jasmine praised her. "But how are we going to get there in time?"
Cinderella sighed. "I wish we could figure out this mess."
"Did someone say wish?" said a mysterious voice.
"Who was that?!" Tiana yelled.
"Oh, it is just me, child." Tiana felt a hand on her shoulder.
An old lady in a blue cloak smiled at her with twinkling eyes.
"Fairy Godmother!" Cinderella smiled with joy. "I'm so glad you came."
"Yes, yes, child. I came here for a reason. So what's with this Gaston business?"
Mulan told her all about Gaston and his scheme.
"And we want to ask Snow White's magic mirror what's he going to do next!" Ariel added.
"Oh, dear that is horrible!" exclaimed Fairy Godmother. "Well, I hope my magic could be of some help." She searched her pockets. "Oh where could that wand be?"
"It's in your sleeve," Cinderella pointed out.
"Yes, thank you, child." She laughed and pulled a skinny wand out of her sleeve. "Bibbidi, Bobbidi, Boo!"
And the princesses were gone.
