**Chapter 12: A Night to Remember**

The group of friends quickly got to work, transforming the cozy sitting room into a sleepover paradise. They hauled in sleeping bags, pillows, and blankets, creating a comfortable and cozy space for the night ahead. Ariel and Snow White worked together to set up a midnight snack bar, complete with popcorn, cookies, and a variety of other treats. Meanwhile, Elsa and Belle busied themselves setting up a movie marathon lineup, with Merida chiming in with her opinions on the best films. Caleb pitched in, helping to move furniture and set up a game station, complete with cards, board games, and a giant stuffed animal for a pillow fight. As they worked, the excitement and chatter filled the room, and Caleb couldn't help but feel a sense of joy and belonging. As they finished setting up, the princesses all began to excuse themselves to get ready for the night. Caleb waited patiently, wondering what they would look like in their nighttime attire. A few minutes later, they all emerged from their respective rooms, looking adorable in their pajamas. Ariel was wearing a sparkly mermaid-print nightgown, complete with a glittery tail attached to the back. Snow White had on a soft, white nightgown with a delicate lace trim. Elsa and Anna were both in matching pair of pajamas, with Elsa's icy powers temporarily tamed. Merida was wearing a pair of comfy tartan pants and a matching hoodie, while Belle had on a elegant silk nightgown with a delicate floral pattern. Caleb's eyes widened as he took in the sight of the girls looking so relaxed and beautiful. "You all look very pretty," he said, feeling a little shy but sincere. The girls all smiled and thanked him, looking pleased with the compliment. Ariel struck a pose, twirling around to show off her nightgown. "Thanks, Caleb! I feel like a real-life mermaid princess!" Snow White giggled and snuggled up beside Caleb on the couch. "We're all so excited to have you here with us. This is going to be the best sleepover ever!" The group settled in, cozy and comfortable, ready to start their night of fun and friends. As they snuggled up together, Caleb felt a sense of happiness and contentment wash over him. He knew that this was a night he would never forget, and he was grateful to have such wonderful friends to share it with. As they sat there, waiting for the movies to start, Merida suddenly piped up. "I have an idea! Let's make this night even more special. Let's make a promise to each other, a promise to always be there for one another, no matter what." The others looked at her, intrigued, and Caleb nodded eagerly. "I'd like that," he said, feeling a sense of camaraderie with the group. The princesses all nodded in agreement, and one by one, they made their promise to each other, sealing their friendship with a smile and a hug. As they settled in for the night, Caleb knew that this was just the beginning of a lifelong friendship, one that would bring them joy, laughter, and adventure for years to come.
