Ariel tiptoed to the Tremaine room, followed by Belle and Snow White. She quickly hustled to the doors, and peeked inside the keyhole.
"You're far more persistent than I thought..." Lady Tremaine was saying.
"Who is she talking to?" Ariel wondered.
"You won't get away with this!" A blonde girl stood up, her kerchief falling to the floor.
"Blondey!" Ariel gasped.
"I already have," said Lady Tremaine, smiling slyly.
"I don't think so, JAQ, GUS!!" Blondey ran for the door, while two mice carried a stick and followed her.
"Get out of the way!" Ariel yelled, moving away.
She and her sisters moved away from the doors, just in time when the blonde girl pushed them open and ran for the stairs. The two mice ran from a cat that was following them.
"That servant girl is a thief!" Lady Tremaine screamed at the guards. "After her!"
The two guards ran after the girl, while Ariel huddled with her sisters.
"We have to stop them!" Ariel said to her sisters. "Belle, find a way to distract the guards. Snow, use your voice to get the cat away from the mice. I'll get Charming!"
They all split up, according to the plan.

Snow White lifted the bottoms of her dress to catch up with the animals. The cat was just an inch away from the two mice, his mouth open, hoping for a nice snack.
"Stop it, Cat!" she ordered.
The cat paid no attention to her. He opened his paws to snatch the mice.
The mouse in an orange jacket smiled. "Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo!"
And the cat turned into a jack-in-the-box.
"What the--" Snow White began to say, but quickly grabbed the mice and continued running.
"LUCIFEE!!" screamed the chubby mouse, pointing behind them.
Snow looked back. Though he was a jack-in-the-box, he was jumping after them, his sharp teeth glinting in the light.
I think I've seen this in a nightmare, she thought.
"Bibbidi Bobbidi BOO!" yelled the mouse again.
Lucifee turned into a very tiny cat, just as small as the two mice.
"Good job, boys!" Snow White praised. They ran for the stairs, in hopes of catching up to the blonde girl in time.

Belle threw off her shoes and threw them at both of the guards. "Stop! It's an order!"
The short one looked back sympathetically. "Sorry, Your Highness, but orders are orders."
But why won't you listen to mine? She pulled the elastic band out of her hair and stretched it.
"Eyes open..." she aimed it at his head, and fired.
"OW!" the guard shrieked, falling down.
Belle leaped over him. It's a good thing I attended archery classes, she thought, relieved.
When they reached the stairs, Belle slid down the railing, praying that she would reach the bottom before the guard did.
Her prayer was answered. She landed on the floor, looking for something for him to trip on. She found an armor and pushed it to the ground.
The guard caught his foot in the helmet, then plunged to the ground with a big THUMP!
Belle dusted herself off and ran toward Cinderelly, hoping her sister had gotten to her brother in time.
