Prologue
It is a peaceful June day in coast city, 5:15 at night, last day of school for high schoolers who are joyous of that. In an apartment complex in a spacious apartment, four teen girls and their nanny are doing activities.
The apartment cute, quaint, a open common space living room/ kitchen/ little extra space, the place mainly beige but on many parts of the walls designs all vary in size, shape, color but all equally as pretty. By the door a staircase that leads to a studio bedroom for the nanny. Under the studio bedroom a place that served as the dining room, band practice for one of the girls, another one's sewing area though right now she is working on a chair in the living room.
The living room furnished with a coffee table in the middle, a chair on the width ends and a tv closest to the wall and a couch near the kitchen, but close enough to the table to put your feet up. The kitchen has an island, fridge/freezer, many drawers, cabinets, a shelf holding three cookie jars in the shape of a dress, robot, and cookie monster. It is full stocked appliance wise and food wise.
In between the kitchen and the currently dining room a hallway leading to a bathroom at the end, a closet on the right, and the left a large bedroom where the nannied girls sleep.
DJ Jordan, a fashionista hanging in the living room the barcalounger closest to the door working on her newest throw pillow. She is a caucasian 14 year old with shoulder length brown hair and hazel eyes that are mainly brown. Currently she has on a green baseball top, turquoise jeggings and dark green high tops.
Hope Sookice, a petite pale blue eyed, blackette with a turquoise ombre at the bottom of her hair 14 year old girl in the other barcalounger in the living room watching tv. She in a white shrug, a blue dress mainly light blue the skirt with a part a dark teal, and the last one sapphire blue, white stockings and dark blue flats. She was the most innocent of the girls, very oblivious but that just added to her adorable charm, and could pull off the puss in boots look easily.
Cupid Ѐrotas, a 14 year old purple eyed tan redhead that she wears in a ponytail held up with a metal clasp ending mid back. She in her school's cheerleading uniform since all cheerleaders are required to wear them on the last day of school. The top like a tank top the top half white withe two green stripes, the bottom half purple, the skirt purple with a white stripe towards the bottom, and white and green tennis shoes. She in the kitchen and making dinner.
Red Atrocious, the last girl, 14 of age, brown hair and eyes, peach skin. She in the living room on the couch doing something on her laptop. She in a black camisole and red flannel pj pants.
"Yo when's dinner gonna be done?" Red asked throwing her head back to look into the kitchen.
"Should be done in the next few minutes." Cupid responded straining whatever she was cooking on the stove. The door to the apartment opened and close, a blonde walking in.
"Hi Emma." "Heyo." "How was your day?" "Catch your man?" The girls all asked in unison.
"Well, hello to you all, my day was fine, and yes I did." Emma responded to each of these questions, walking over to the couch and plopping down on it.
Emma Swan, there nanny and bail bonds person is a 32 year old american blonde with hazel eyes that are mostly green. She in a skin tight pink dress and black wedges.
Emma started nannying for the Jordan's when she was 19, having no money or job. She got it because DJ's uncle hit on her in phoenix, she punched him in the nose, and somehow they became friends from that little experience. He explained that is his brother had a baby girl and he and his wife needed a nanny to help them and she took the job.
She was accepted into the family and DJ just adored her and thought of her as a second mom. When DJ's parents died in a fire when she was 3 she was completely devastated but luckily had her nanny, uncle, and uncle's girlfriend to lean on.
About at that time Hope's family moved into the apartment building, she spent all her time with DJ and Emma was more than happy to have her around, she was always a delight and very helpful. After a year her family was gonna move but she begged with them to let her stay with the Jordan's, and her parents allowed Emma to adopt her so she could stay. The story now made the girls think of the movie Matilda, just without Hope having powers.
Cupid came along in at age 7 from the student exchange program. She lived with the Jordan's for all of second grade and her family let her stay in america because she loved it there so much, the Jordan's becoming her family, them more than happy to take her in.
Red's story, which they all find sad. When she was 9 they found her living in an alley, ran away from home from a horrible father, never had a mom. They took her in and Emma adopted her as well.
Their family may be very weird and all of them very different but none of them would change it for anything.
"What's on?" Emma asked gesturing to the tv.
"Ever after. Really intense scene." Red explained, her eyes never leaving her screen.
Ever after is an american drama television series, fairytales accidentally brought to the real world and facing all kinds of threats. The girls all love it and enjoy watching it. And the teens always tease Emma for her crush on Captain Hook, whose actor is Killian Jones.
"Oh, I love the outfits in this episode." Deej interjected setting down the throw pillow.
"You say that with every episode." Red pointed out.
The clothing company Once upon a time makes the clothes for the show, and couture pieces that they sell at stores across the country. DJ always wanted to work for them.
"Okay, I finished. Tonight we are having tater tot casserole and corn as a side dish." Cupid announced setting the place settings.
"Sweet." Hope exclaimed. A knock came from the door and Cupid went to answer.
At the door were three men, and a dog. The men practically looked like brothers but the girls knew better.
Hal Jordan, DJ's uncle, has brown smoothed back hair and hazel eyes like DJ. He currently in a tan flight suit with the name tag Jordan on it and tan sneakers. He is a test pilot for Ferris air and just happens to be engaged to the boss, Carol who he never would have meet if it weren't for the girl's.
August booth, Hal's roommate, has blue eyes and brown curly hair with a scruff. He in a zipped up motorcycle jacket, jeans, and biker boots. He is a writer and when the girls were little and even now he tells them stories that enchant them, no matter what they are.
Robin Locksley, Hal's other roommate, with light brown hair, blue eyes and five o'clock shadow. He in a black t-shirt, brown jacket, brown pants, and black dress shoes. He works at the city's animal shelter and when the girls come visit him there he let's them help him.
"You guys are here for dinner aren't you?" Cupid asked flatly but already knew the answer. Everyone loved her cooking, she was the cook of the apartment especially since the only things Emma can make are with a microwave with it either burning or exploding.
"Maybe." "No." "Why else." The men all answered as once.
"Tater tot casserole." She answered the guys walking in. She rolled her eyes and squatted down to the dog.
"Hey Dogust." She said enthusiastically scratching behind his ears.
Dogust is August's dog, a fawn and white bulldog that occasionally rides a skateboard.
"Okay since the men are here I am guessing dinner." Red said sarcastically, finishing something up on her laptop then closing it. Red set her laptop down, Emma paused the table and they all went to the dinner table while Cupid got the food.
"Wait, there's 9 place settings but 8 of us." Emma pointed out.
"Dogust sitting at the table?" Hope asked sincerely, her voice high pitched and very childlike, another thing that made her oh so adorable.
"No." Cue started, a knock at the door which she went to answer.
"Hello Mr. Gold." She said nicely to the old man at the door.
Mr. Rumple Gold is the girls downstairs neighbor, he has brown eyes and long silver/brown hair. He in a long black coat, a black dress shirt, purple tie, black pants, and black dress shoes. He owns many of the buildings in Coast city including the one they live in, and walks with a limp that he needs a cane to help him with.
"You invited him?" Hope asked. The girls except for Cupid didn't like Mr. Gold much.
"If there is a problem I can just leave." He replied turning to leave.
"Mr. Gold I invited you up here and you will eat here and if anyone has a problem then they can leave." Cupid interjected giving everyone at the table a glare.
They all gave a response of sorts that it's fine so Mr. Gold ate with them and the night continued on as usual.
All the way in Los angeles at 8:15, at the label Once upon a time, a over achiever sweet, kind and caring work is working over time looking over applications for the summer internship spot that they have every year.
This worker happened to be Mary Margaret Nolan, a 34 year old female with black pixie cut hair and hazel eyes. She is a white lace blouse a turquoise cardigan, gray jeans, and gray flats.
She is vice president of the company working for her friend Regina Mills. Mary Margaret has many jobs including picking the winner, the contest closed in 15 minutes, luckily most people entered early but there were a few last minute submissions.
"Hello my lovely wife." MM heard and turned around to see her husband walking over to her.
David Nolan 35 year old male with dirty blonde hair, blue eyes. He in a tan jacket, an unbutton denim shirt and a gray t-shirt underneath, jeans, and black cap toe oxford shoes.
"Well hello my lovely husband." She responded, he reaching her desk and they sharing a kiss.
"Ready to go home?" He asked.
"Can't, Regina wants me to pick a contest winner by tomorrow. And luckily I already have a designer picked so unless one of these recent submissions is better, than I already have a winner." Mary stated looking through another entry.
"Well if you already have a candidate can't they just win so we can go home?" David shot back.
"I just have to look at one more than I'll be…" She trailed off as she looked at the last entry.
"What? Something wrong?" Her husband questioned looking at her computer screen.
"These designs, they are great, and the applicant sent pictures of people wearing them and doing activities. It's great, and they look fantastic." Mary Margaret marveled continuing to look through the designer's portfolio.
"I believe we have a winner. D.J. Jordan."
