Minnie giggled softly and rolled her eyes. “You want the chicken salad. Don’t even try ordering the tuna again.” She knew what was on the man’s mind as he debated. They’d had this conversation before. She, nevertheless, stepped forward and ordered a pimento cheese sandwich for herself.

thackery shook his head and chuckled softly. “ stop reading my mind, “ he responded, wrapping an arm around her waist. he waited till she was done ordering before placing an order for the chicken salad croissant. he took his wallet out and paid for the couple. “ i don’t see how you can eat that stuff, “ he quipped, shaking his head in disbelief at her order.

“How long?”  she felt compelled to ask, eyebrows pushing together for a few seconds.  Then Elsa realized how NOSY she was being, her face changing quickly from curious to embarrassed.  “I’m sorry… y-you don’t have to answer that,”  she let out a nervous laugh, running her fingers through her long blonde hair.  “I-I’m from Arendelle.  It’s a long way from here… or at least, I can imagine,”  she added almost bitterly, looking around at the painted little town.  It PALED in comparison to her kingdom. 

thackery chuckled softly and shrugged. “ it’s okay.. really, “ he offered. it was difficult to talk about, or even explain, but he wasn’t ashamed of his past. living as long as he had made him realize that the past shouldn’t be something to shy away from. “ i lived there for about.. “ he paused as he calculated how long it had been. “ three hundred and twenty six years. it’s a long story, “ he answered with a cheshire grin. “ what’s arendelle like? “ he asked, genuinely interested in her hometown. it didn’t sound anything like salem or the small town they now both resided in. 

“SO, um… where did you come from, before this?”  It seemed every time Elsa asked this question to someone new, she got a different sort of answer. But if she was ever going to figure out how to return home, the truth had to be beneficial somehow. Her arms wrapped around herself, shifting a bit in her stance.

thackery chuckled and shook his head. “ the short answer is salem. i lived there for... well, a very long time, “ he explained. trying to explain how he went from a human in the 17th century, to cat for 300 years, then back to human by some unknown source was too complicated. “ what about you? “

hercules sat on the floor of the library, a few different mythology books surrounding him.  he looked downtrodden, as though every tragic ending had come flying off the page just moments prior to smack him right across the face.  “do you know what they say about me in these?”  he ran a hand through his hair, and as much as he wanted to look away?  it was like a bad cart crash.  he was far too stuck on it.  “they’ve got it all wrong!”

     meg was having a terrible day. everything was grating her nerves, and she needed some time to herself to escape. she always had liked to read and went to the local library to find a good book. she picked out a copy of a play she remembered watching a long time ago. she smiled to herself softly as she walked through the aisles. a voice caught her attention. she turned and the smile on her face spread. she leaned against a shelf and looked down at the scattered books. “ i’m guessing it’s not glowing reviews? “ she chuckled softly to herself before sitting down across from him, taking a book. scanning the pages, meg shook her head. “ talk about artistic liberties. “  

 “ i hate it when that happens... i told you, i can’t die. “

 “ it’s been a real slice “
