Hi! I bet some of you are annoyed at me for not updating any of my fanfics. It could be because I'm lazy, or I'm really lazy.
Anyways, I'm deciding to write a fanfic about Duchess. Enjoy!
"All she ever does is dance there…
"She's mean, she deserves it."
"What is she gonna do, go all black swan on us?"
"She doesn't even have friends. Who's gonna help her if we invade?"
"She has Faybelle…"
"Who hates her now."
"Ashlynn and Hunter helped her last time…"
It didn't take a genius to know that behind the castleria doors, fairytales were gossiping about her. Duchess cringed and sighed.
It was that stupid benefit everyone was talking about. The benefit for all those needy children. The students of Ever After High hosted it each year, picking a theme, hosting a party and baking goods, so the residents of Ever After would come and buy them and have fun. And all the money went to the children.
The Royal Student Council picked her lake for the benefit. Her lake! And the theme was supposed to be 'Swan Lake', but since Apple didn't have a fondness for swans, everyone dressed up as their favorite bird. Just brilliant!
Duchess took a deep breath. And went in.
Sparrow Hood was strumming absent-mindedly, pretending to be interested in Tucker's story about how he saved Apple from tripping. Over a pebble.
"Yeah, and Sparrow was jealous and was like, 'I could've done that'. Right Sparrow?" Tucker asked. But Sparrow had totally spaced out.
Tuck waved his hand over his friend's face. "Um, Sparrow? Sparrow!? Duchess says she loves you!"
That woke him up. Sparrow jumped. "I knew you loved me all along. And of course I forgive you for not admitting it to me earlier." he said, still a bit dazed.
Everyone crowded around the Merry Men's table laughed. Sparrow flushed and laughed along with him. "Yeah, yeah, let's all laugh at Sparrow."
Suddenly, the castleria door open, and the most charming girl Sparrow had ever lay eyes on swooped in. Duchess. As soon as she stepped in, she started to receive booes and paper cups thrown at her.
"Selfish!"
"Mean!"
"Think about the children!"
Shouts of anger filled the air. Sparrow found himself staring at Duchess, who managed to look at him back. He gave her a flirtatious smile and she just glared.
Sparrow had to save her. To prove he was worthy of her.
He snuck behind the tables and potted plants till he was close enough to reach Duchess. The angry fairyteens were prepared to start throwing food at her. When a student yelled, "FIRE!", Sparrow leaped from his hiding spot and and tackled Duchess. The impact sent them rolling out the castleria doors in into the hallway.
After they had settled down, Duchess scooted away from him, crying. "You hate me too. Everyone hates me. Just..get away. Tell them they can have the lake. Nothing matters anymore."
Sparrow knew his princess was broken inside, and he had to fix it.
He stood up and dusted himself off. Then he walked towards Duchess, and thrust out his hand.
"I don't hate you. You're...you're kinda...uhm…" Sparrow, smooth, slick Sparrow, seemed to be at a loss for words.
Duchess stopped sniffling to look at him and giggled. "I know you like me Sparrow. You don't have to explain it." Then her gloomy expression returned. "But I don't know about them. I want to be nice...and do and say nice things...but I think I don't know how."
She started to cry again, and Sparrow shut his eyes. Then he opened them and grabbed Duchess' hand.
"What are you doing?" she blubbered.
"Helping you become the person you want to be."
Duchess smiled and wiped her tears and stood up. "T-thanks, Sparrow."
Sparrow just grinned back.
"Now where do we begin?"
And that is chapter 1! Did you like it! Tell me in the reviews! Thank you! Sorry for the usual mistakes!
