I don't own Disney

The church bell rang as the students stopped playing and headed inside. Pinocchio had no idea where he was going so he decided to follow Alice and Melody who had suddenly struck up a conversation. When he entered the room, he noticed a blackboard in front of the classroom and six rows of chairs. Pinocchio hurried and took the last seat in the first row.

"I always sit in the back row too," Alice said as she sat down in the last row next to him, "I cannot bear to look at the teacher."

"Is she that bad?" Melody asked as she sat in front of Pinocchio.

Alice shook her head. "She is horrible and she will make your life miserable."

Melody gave Alice a look that said "you-are-exaggerating." Alice jumped in her seat and folded her hands in front of the desk. Melody turned around to see what caused Alice that reaction when she saw a wrinkled woman walking into the classroom. She was wearing a purple dress that covered her neck, she wore a decent amount of jewelry for an old woman, but one thing that bothered Melody was her strict expression.

"There she is," Alice whispered as she furrowed her eyes at the teacher, "Lady Terminae."

The teacher, Lady Terminae, cleared her throat and Alice knew that she was looking at her. She tapped a ruler on the palm of her hand and scanned the classroom to see if anyone was disobeying her class rules. "Good morning class," she spoke as the students greeted her back, "I see that we have two new students joining us this year. If you would be so kind to stand up and say something about yourself."

Melody immediately jumped up from her seat while Pinocchio shyly got up. With a bright smile Melody spoke, "mu name is Melody. One thing that I love the most is the sea!" she emphasized as she spread out her arms, "you have no idea how many treasures are hidden in the sea along with some awesome sea creatures. I always go swimming when I have the chance!"

Lady Terminae narrowed her eyes at Melody. Another adventurous student that I have to deal with she bitterly thought. "I am sure it is, thank you," she said and motioned with her ruler for Melody to sit down. She turned her cold green eyes at Pinocchio, "what about you young man?"

Pinocchio looked down at his hands. What was he supposed to say? "Uhh...I used to be puppet," he shyly spoke.

"A puppet?" a blond girl asked as she turned around and looked at him. "Oh please what kind of a world do you live in," she said as she laughed with a croup of her friends.

Lady Terminae scowled at Pinocchio. "I can see that we have some growing up to do," she pointed her ruler at him and Pinocchio immediately sat down.

A scatter of laughter was heard throughout the classroom and Pinocchio deeply blushed at the teacher's comment. Alice looked at him and then scowled at the teacher and her classmate that spoke to Pinocchio. "Just ignore them," she whispered to Pinocchio, who wanted to make invisible at the moment.

"Alice!" Lady Terminae hissed. "I am sure that you don't want the same incident to happen again like it did yesterday."

Alice looked down at her delicate hands and noticed the red blisters that were tattooed on her hands. "No Mrs. Terminae," she said.

Lady Terminae smirked and elegantly walked back to her desk. "Good, now on with the lesson."

The dark horse halted in it hoof steps when the reins were pulled. Snow White looked at the castle in front of her and was amazed at the beautiful architecture and design. "Welcome to my palace," the man said as he jumped off his horse and helped her to get off.

"It's beautiful," Snow White commented.

It will be much better when I am finished with it he thought. He put his hand on her back and led her inside the palace. Once they were inside, Snow White started in amazement at the luxurious contents that surrounded the palace. Of course she had been in her stepmother's palace, but it had been a long time since she had been in contact with another palace.

"Allow me to properly introduce myself," the man said as he grabbed the scarf and pulled it away from his face.

In front of her stood a man with a curled beard, a black and red hat with a jewel in the middle and a red feather, a long black robe and cape, curled shoe flats, and he held onto a cane shaped like a snake that he pointed at her and Grumpy. "My name is Jafar," he introduced himself.

Snow White clasped her hands in front of her and smiled at him. "I am Snow White," she introduced herself. She looked from the ground and then into his eyes, "excuse me for asking such a question, but how did you know where I would be?"

Jafar smiled in satisfaction as he tapped the head of the cane. He approached her an ran the back of his index finger down her pale cheek. "What fair and beautiful skin for such a young girl," he spoke and completely ignored her question.

Snow White flinched when he did that. She noticed Jafar's concerned look when she did that and immediately apologized for acting in such a manner. "I guess I am not very comfortable being touched," she said with a meek smile.

"And maybe a little shy?" Jafar added as he moved his hand away from her, "don't worry my dear, when the time comes for you to be queen, you will not be shy anymore."
