~ The Christmas Party ~

'Oh..' he said, trying to hide his disappointment, pausing for a second to think, watching their body language.
'Don't worry,' he turned to Snow. 'I don't think Shang would lie to you, and I'm pretty certain Charlotte isn't the type to intentionally steal other people's boyfriends' he said reassuringly, although he kept watching them out of curiosity.

Pocahontas followed him, getting a little scared as they were far from the crowd. She looked at him, not knowing what to say, or expect. She looked down, "M-Merry Christmas.." Pocahontas stuttered, trying to calm herself down.

Snow White sighed, "You're probably right, I'm just a little uh new to relationships I guess." She admitted.

Cinderella watched sadly as they walked off before turning back to Kenai. "So, um... I think I'll get more food now." She said, with a small shrug before waving as she walked away.

She piled some food onto her plate. She sighed a little and bit her lip, before saying a silent prayer that Pocahontas would be safe and unharmed.

John... please don't do anything...

He positioned her so she was leaning her back against a tree, and blocked any escape routes by standing right in front of her.
"Merry christmas Judas.." he said charmingly and nodded at her, taking in the sight of her whole body.

Pocahontas's eyes widened, looking up at him. She felt herself blush a little, "Thanks for throwing this party.." She said, getting nervous each second.

He laid his hand on her waste and leaned in so close Pocahontas could feel his breath on her skin as he spoke.
"I have something for you..." he said seducingly.

Pocahontas felt her body tense, looking at him more as he was closer to her, "W-What is it?" She asked, feeling her heart pound against her chest.

He smiled slyly, before being unable to keep it in any longer and he had to laugh softly.
"Christmas presents," he said laughing and pulled away from her while he held up the sack to show her.

Dimitri watched them, Charlotte hugging Shang closely.
Even as he repled to Snow it was clear he was watching them from over her shoulder.
'Really.. I'm not good at relationships either...' He stopped looking at them and focused on Snow, 'Just don't worry too quickly when theres no trouble yet.'
He did admit they did seem awfully comfortable.
'I'm.. going to go for a bit' he said, leaving his empty plate. 'Just walk or something' he quickly added, not really wanting to be near the food anymore whilst everyone else was so close. He didn't want a scene with anyone for now.
'I hope you have a great Christmas' he say, touching her shoulder before walking away through the snow. He never liked crowds... the garden was so vast he could easily find somewhere to be alone for just a moment. Soon enough he found himself retracing his steps from that day, until he found the pool where he sat down, thinking it was best he pay his respects while he could.

Pocahontas felt herself calm down fast, smiling as she saw the sack, "We get presents?" She asked, wondering who would give her stuff. She moved herself off of the tree.

Snow White watched him go and then turned to look where he had been looking, why am I not surprised? She wondered, she turned to go find someone else to talk too and smiled when she saw Cindy. "Hey sorry for leaving earlier." She said as she neared her.

"I left first, it's fine." Cinderella said, when Snow came up to her.

"You all right?" She asked, seeing her look a little off, not as cheerful as before.

Snow White forced a smile on her face and nodded, "Yeah, Christmas always makes me reflective." She said with a forced laugh.

He pulled out two gifts from the bag. One small and the other one a bit bigger. They both had Pocahontas' name on them, and as he handed her the smallest gift, he held on to the biggest one, waiting for her to finish the one she was holding so he could hand the other one over.
"To Pocahontas; From Snow White," it said.

[OOC: Brown, miniature teddy bear]

Cinderella set down her plate and hugged Snow. "You're stronger then you know, Snow."

She couldn't help but smile, more genuinely this time, as he touched her cheek. She forgot how nice it felt to know that someone still cared about her.
She felt herself tear up a little, but before she could even think about crying, she suddenly hugged him tightly.

'I missed you too ..' she whispered as she buried her face in his shoulder.

Pocahontas's eyes widened, smiling as she saw the Teddy Bear, laughing a little.

Thanks, Snow.

She held onto it, waiting for when John wanted to give her the other present.

[[OOC Freaking love you, Snow!]]

Snow White bit her lip, "Thanks Cindy, so have you talked to anyone yet?" She asked as she tried to change the subject.

[Ooc, I loove you too hun *-*]

"Well, you, Poca, and Kenai are really the only ones so far...." CInderella trailed off, looking in the direction that John took Poca.

"Anyways, what about you?" She asked, turning back to Snow.

Snow White bit her lip, "Well I talked to Shang, Aladdin and Dimitri." She said as she thought about how sad Dimitri had looked when he had left.

"Aladdin?" She asked. "I've spoken to him through the wall... I need to talk to him again and see how he is..."

When Odette hugged him, Sinbad put his arms around her. It felt so good to finally have her near again.
He couldn't help but smile for himself, enjoying the moment in silence.
"I'm sorry," he said eventually, still hugging her. He loosened the hug a little so he was able to look at her.
".. about the last time we were together. It was wrong of me to act like that just because you slept wi... I mean, you had every right in the world to do what you wanted. I just hope you can forgive me."

She smiled, "He's doing fine, I saw him talking to someone earlier I think it was Jasmine but I'm not sure." She said.

"I haven't spoken to Jasmine in awhile either..." Cinderella said, looking around the garden at the many faces.

Odette watched him as he spoke, 'it's ok, you don't have to apologise,' she said and smiled up at him.

'I guess I was stupid for agreeing to something like that in the first place, especially with Pocahontas in the next room,' she sighed and looked down at her stomach for a moment, 'but he did save my life ..'

He handed her the other gift with a smile.
"To Pocahontas; From Cinderella."

[OOC: Brown, normal teddybear]

Sinbad kissed Odette and pulled her into a tight hug again. "I know. And for that I'm really grateful," he said honest.
"He does have his good sides," Sinbad added, but he regretted it as soon as the words had left his mouth. Not because it wasn't true, but because he didn't feel he could actually allow himself to think that way about the villain.

Even as she tried to ignore Odette and Sinbad, she could still see them in her peripheral vision, and she cursed herself for not being able to look away.
Why did Shang have to take such a long time? If she had to sit here alone, watching them, much longer she wouldn't be able to take it. It wasn't long before tears started welling in her eyes.
WHY?! Why did they even want her?! She was nothing but a fake slut! A peronality-less, violent bitch who only relied on getting what she wanted from her looks and sex!
The kiss was too much. She couldn't take it anymore, and got up. She ran straight past Sinbad and Odette and further into the garden, hiding behind some trees there. She almost bumped into Dimitri on her way, but she barely even noticed, and the tears in her eyes made her uncertain if it had even been Dimitri. She just needed to be alone and calm herself down.

[ OOC: @Charlotte: Aww you never fail to give me such nice compliments ]

She was a little surprised when he kissed her, but enjoyed the moment anyway .. that is until she saw a familiar blonde run past them.

Was she crying ..?

Odette pulled away from Sinbad again and watched Charlotte until she was out of sight, 'I wonder what's gotten her so upset this time,' she thought out loud. Even though she felt sorry for her, she couldn't help but smile a little as she continued to stare in the direction that Charlotte had run in.

[OOC: I'm back! Sorry, work was long. And @Dimitri, that is TOTALLY how I would be if I were an agent XD I'd be the one screwing everything up. And if I did anything right, it would be on accident. ]

Aladdin held onto Jasmine's hands as they walked around, just enjoying each other's company and the weather. He looked over to Lilo who was talking to John, and it appeared as if he was giving her gifts.

Oh Lilo, he thought to himself and smiled. what other friends were here that he hadn't talked to yet?

Sinbad was a little disappointed when Odette pulled away. Even though he felt sorry for Charlotte he couldn't help but wish she had been another somewhere else in that moment.
"Yeah," Sinbad said in a low voice as he also looked in Charlotte's direction, unaware of the fact that he and Odette had caused it.
"Do you want to go somewhere more quiet?" Sinbad suggested, hoping that that way there wouldn't be anymore distractions.

Odette turned back to him and smiled, 'sure, why not?' she said as she quickly glanced around at the other people, not really taking in their faces before she turned around and started walking in a similar direction that Charlotte had ran off in.

Jasmine looked arround. She saw Lilo with her presents. Smiling at how happy the little girl looked. She looked down at the snow. Making circles with her foot. "This kind of weather is rare in Agrabah." She looked up and smiled at Aladdin.
"Have you ever seen snow in the years that you were alone and met Esmeralda?"

Pocahontas smiled as she saw the teddy bear, having her eyes brighten. She smiled, holding both of the bears now.

Thanks Cindy..

She looked up at John, "Thank you." She said, smiling kindly at him.

He kept his eyes on where Pocahontas went with the strange man, barely noticing Cindy leave. He was prepared to run to her if she needed him to.

[OOC: If it makes you feel any better Odette, it's only Charlotte hating on your character because she don't know her xD You know I love Gege

@Dimitri: That was kind of a signal for you to run after me, so *cough* you know, whenever you wake up... <.< >.>]

Charlotte didn't even know why she was crying. Sinbad was equally as stupid as Odette after what she had heard from Dimitri. They deserved eachother.
She wiped her eyes, but continued to sit there, hidden by a tree, for a little while. After her sudden outburst, it would be way too embarrasing to go back right now in case someone saw her.

He smiled at her, softly, kindly, almost as if he wasn't himself in that moment.
"And here's my christmas gift for you.." he said in almost a whisper as he stepped a bit closer to her and leaned down to softly kiss her lips.

Pocahontas was off at his smile, before feeling herself freeze when he kissed her lips. She was too in shock to react, or to return the kiss..She was confused.

[[OOC; Nyaaa~!!!! What is wrong with John x-x! He slapped me, now he is kissing me!! BIPOLAR MUCH!?]]

[OOC: Pocahontas pissed him off once, that doesn't mean he still can't tease her like always ]

He pulled away for a bit, only enough to speak.
"What's wrong?" he asked softly, as if he was honestly concerned and disappointed, while he put one hand on her waist.

Pocahontas looked down, before slapping him in the face, "That's for slapping me after I saved you." She felt herself start to shake, "And..what's going on..first you slapped me and became angry with me..And now your kissing me like nothing has happened..It confuses me and..to be honest..I don't like it." She said with a serious face, trying to hide how scared she was.

[[OOC ''>.<'' <---Shaking]]

The slap shocked him for a minute. No one had ever dared slapping him, and his hand went to his burning cheek for a moment. However, when the shock passed, he did nothing but take the hand she had slapped him with and hold it softly in his.
"You caught me in a bad moment Puck," he said softly, and looked down ashamed. He wasn't usually the type to hurt women like that. He considered it low.
"You know I would never hurt you in my right mind," he said and looked up with begging eyes of forgiveness. Just being reminded of the slap made him feel bad. Such behavior was reserved for people like Sinbad. Not him.

Pocahontas looked at him, feeling herself soften at how he spoke. She then looked down, "I forgive you." She said softly, before looking up at him, "I'm sorry I caught you in a bad moment..But, it hurt..being slapped after saving your life.." She said, before looking down once again. Hoping John would understand her feelings.

He looked down with a little laugh again, still holding her hand.
"Some times... I wish you hadn't," he said honestly.

Pocahontas looked at him, "Why?" She finally asked, before looking away, "I..um..I mean..you don't have to answer that if you don't want to."

He looked in the direction of Megara's grave, knowing that to Pocahontas it would just look like he was looking away to avoid the question. He looked back to Pocahontas before smiling teasingly again.
He touched her cheek with his palm, the same cheek he had hurt before.
"How could I live with myself, knowing I hurt such a beautiful creature?" he asked charmingly, but with a hint of laughter.

Pocahontas looked at him, wincing only a little when she saw his hand go to the same cheek he slapped. Though, when he just placed it on her cheek, she relaxed. Her eyes looked into his, before she hugged him, "Would it help if you know she forgives you?"

He hugged her tightly back, smelling her hair as he wrapped his arms around her waist.
"Maybe a little bit," he said while smiling slyly,
"I missed you.." he added. It wasn't completely a lie. Their moment together had been nothing short of amazing. He hadn't lied to the boy, she really was a beast.

Pocahontas then looked up at him, "What?" She asked, shocked that he would miss her. How could he miss her?

"I wasn't lying earlier," he said with a laugh, still holding on to her waist.
"You really are a beast," he said and winked at her.
He knew this was probably not what she wanted to hear, but never the less, John wasn't in the mood to lie to her.
