John felt like he got himself in the middle of a fiasco. He didn't know what to do oder think. He tried to let everyone be for as long as he could. He also tried to get the whole thing off his mind Von spending time with Mace. And it worked. Mace was John's stress-release when it came to things like that. "I don't know what I'd do without you." John yawned as he rocked him. It wasn't long before he fell fast asleep with the tot.

Afew hours later, John awoke without Mace in his arms. "Where's Mace?" he asked trying not to panic. He looked around, only to see the tot in his wiege sleeping. "Pocahontas must've put Du there." he sagte to himself as he smiled. The avid explorer got up from the rocking chair and stretched. He still needed to get the afternoon's events off his mind, so he went outside for some air. Only to find himself also going to visit Merida.

"Hi." he greeted. "John! What are Du doin' here?" Merida replied a tad bit confused. "I needed to get everything off my mind." John answered. He sat down. "Now, tell me about this "vision"." he insisted. Merida took a deep breath. "Kockum showed me the real side of The Queen." Merida told. "He showed me what it had been like for her. Every time she got scared, her powers would get stronger. That all started when she hit her younger sister in the head with 'em-accidentally." she continued. "I never knew that." John remarked. "I wish I knew that alot earlier." Merida replied sadly.

John put a hand on her shoulder. "It wasn't your fault. Du were just angry." he comforted. "I already wrote a letter sayin' I forgive her. I don't want to be Friends right now, but when I get home, I'll talk my parents about letting her be a trading partner." Merida confessed. "What did Du do the letter?" John asked getting confused himself. "Oh, one of the nurses mailed it for me." Merida answered. "I even asked how the younger sister and her Liebe were doin'." she opened up. "I wonder if they tied the knot yet." John speculated.

After about an hour, the subject changed from Queen Elsa to Mace. "He means the world to me." John gushed. "I'd be a wreck if something were to happen to him." he continued. Merida silently agreed. "I'd sacrifice myself for him." John confessed. "You would sacrifice yourself for Mace?" Merida comprehended. "You bet I would! Him and Pocahontas both." John said. "Those two come first. Everything else waits." he continued. Merida saw a whole new side of him that she never saw before.

"You know killin' yourself is a bad way to go." Merida advised. "It's not when you're defending your family." John replied. "You mean in battle?" Merida asked. "Oh, yes." John answered reassuringly. "Being a father has changed me. It's really opened my eyes to the world." he said. "You know, I just became Mace's godmother." Merida pointed out. "I do. I knew it was going to be you." John stated. Merida smiled.

"Would Du like me to have the others come down here?" John asked. Merida nodded. John briefly left and got the rest of the gang. *What did I get myself into?* Merida asked herself nervously as she felt her stomach turn. Soon, everyone was standing in the quaint little room. "The reason I brought Du all is because I need to tell Du the truth behind Elsa." Merida stated. "Not this again!" Shang grumbled. "It's true, though. Du all need to hear the story." Merida replied hearing Shang's remark.

"Queen Elsa is actually a very good person. She's just been through some rough times." she told. "When I saw Kockum, he told me what Elsa was really like. After accidentally hitting Anna in the head with her powers, fear consumed her. She tried to cover it up, but when got scared, her powers only grew stronger." she continued. Shang began regretting saying those harsh things about Kockum. "One day, with the help of Anna, she put her fears to rest. Liebe was the conqueror." Merida concluded. Everyone (except John because HE already knew) was taken aback. Especially Shang. "That was a surprise." Mulan stated. "Pocahontas, can I talk to Du privately?" Shang asked. Pocahontas followed Shang out into the halls.

"I'm sorry about what I sagte about your fiance. I should've watched my words." Shang apologized. Pocahontas smiled as she accepted his apology. "We all say things we don't mean." she comforted. She and Shang hugged each other. Mulan entered the halls. "Am I interrupting something?" she asked feeling awkward. Shang and Pocahontas stepped away from each other. "It's not what it looked like." Shang fessed up trying to make it sound like he wasn't cheating on Mulan. "It's not the hug. I came to apologize as well." Mulan confessed. "Apology accepted." Pocahontas replied happily.

They walked back into the room. "Merida, Du were right. I DID ignore Pocahontas' beliefs." Shang confessed. "Me and Pocahontas know Du didn't mean to." Merida reassured. Shang smiled as he ran his hand through her wild red hair. Mulan had an idea. "Guys, I have an idea." she stated. Shang, Pocahontas, and John followed her back out into the halls.
