Raven Queen was acting strange. She practically floated her way through the halls, she twirled about and even had a dreamy gleam in her eyes. She was simply ethereal, she was humming to herself. "What's up with Raven?" two girls who sat behind her were gossiping about the magenta haired girl who was tapping her foot as she wrote in her black and silver notebook that she used a spell to keep it locked.
Apple stared at her roommate oddly as she strummed chords on her guitar. "Whatcha doing roomie?" she asked curiously. Raven shrugged. "Nothing." Apple wanted to ask more but she didn't want to press the issue. Raven kept nodding and writing things down.
Little did they know, Raven had something special in the works.

It was open night at Mad Hatter's Tea Shoppe. Young artists and poets flooded the space. Raven loved Saturday nights. She held her guitar case nervously as she was going to be called next. Her name was announced and she went up to the makeshift stage and she sat down on the stool, she plugged her guitar into the and she cleared her throat. "Hi, my name is Raven Queen and I'll be singing a song I wrote about someone special it's called Roses and Cream."
Somewhere in the audience she saw Apple give her a supportive thumbs up. She inhaled and began strumming. Her voice came out a little strained at first but her rich alto voice soon filled the space and entranced the audience.
"I don't know what I'm doing, I don't where I'm going.
I don't care as long as I have you.
You know where you're going and you know what to say, my love grows for you everyday.
They tell me it's silly and wrong to feel this way.
Your lips are just like roses, touch as soft as cream.
This feels like dream. To me you are sweet. I love you my roses and cream, you're such a lovely thing but you could never belong to me.
I don't know how to function when you go away.
Sometimes I get mad at you and don't have much to say.
They tell me, no no. Don't go that way.
I feel so naive why do you do this to me?
Your lips are just like roses, touch as soft as
cream.
This isn't a dream you are my sweet reality. You're such a lovely thing but you could never belong to me. I love you, I love you my roses and cream, my roses and cream. You could never belong to me."
Raven was met with a standing ovation. She gave the audience and she bowed and exited stage left. She wondered if anyone knew the true muse. She smiled to herself as a certain blonde haired princess came to her mind.
Apple hugged her tightly. "That was so good!" Apple exclaimed. Raven grabbed both sides of Apple's face and she kissed her. Apple quickly melted into the kiss.
