Hey! This is my very first EAH fanfic! I'm so hexcited to be writing this story! I hope you guys like it as lately I haven't had ANY time to work on it. This story follows Jade Ababwa, Jasmine and Aladdin's daughter. I tried to base it on the real tale, but unfortunately it's easier to follow the Disney version. Oh well. HAPPY READING!
*Disclaimer, I do NOT own Ever After High, nor do I own Disney*
Jade Ababwa stood outside the Ever After High building. Her mother, Princess Jasmine of Agrabah, was so hexited about sending her daughter to school here. Jade on the other hand, couldn't care less. What was the big deal? It was just some stupid reform school. Not much to make fuss over.
She stared up at its royally high towers in awe. There had be LOADS of valuables to swipe. I mean, after all, her father was the king of thieves, which I guess made her the princess. Although she had a nice cushy life in the grand palace back at home in Agraba, that didn't stop the thrill of thievery from seeping into her blood.
The doors suddenly burst open and a pale girl with dark black hair with purple highlights emerged. Along with her was a girl with... mint colored hair and fairy pretty highlights of purple and light blue. The dark haired girl was so wrapped up in their conversation to notice her. She bumped right into her.
"Hey!" Said Jade, "Watch it." The pale girl looked looked up with an innocent face.
"I'm so sorry, I mean it!" She said quickly " I don't think we've ever met, and given my reputation and all, you probably think I'm the worst person ever. But really once you get to know me I'm actually really nice but nobody seems to care because I'm supposed evil, but I'm not, it so royally frustrating, 'cause nobody understands!" She rambled on.
As she spoke, Jade could tell she was getting rather upset, as her hair started to ignite with purple flames, and objects started to float off the ground.
"Woah!" She yelled as she dodged a squirrel. "Chill out!" The girl snapped out of her trance and the objects fell to the ground.
"Oh my fairy godmother! I'm royally sorry." Said The pale girl. "I'm Raven."
Jade let her guard down a little. "I'm Jade. Today's my first day here." She said a little uncertaintly.
The other girl finally spoke up. "When the bird flees the nest, adventure find the rest," she said with a big smile. Jade blinked in confusion, clearly throne for a loop over the girls oddness.
Raven laughed, though Jade didn't see what was so funny. The girl obviously needed mental therapy.
"Jade, this is my BFFA Maddie." She said as Maddie waved furiously.
"Hiya newcomer! What story are you from?" She asked eagerly.
Jade felt all of her tenseness melt away. "My mother is Princess Jasmine of Agrabah. My tale is 'A Thousand and One Nights'."
Raven gasped. "I love that story! Your so lucky to have it!"
Jade loved her story. I mean, magic carpets, eccentric genies! Who wouldn't? "What are you guys from?" She asked.
Maddie said "My father is the Mad Hatter, of course. And Raven's mother is the Evil Queen! Dun,dun,dun!"
Jade jumped backward a few feet. "THE EVIL QUEEN?! YOU'RE RAVEN QUEEN?" Jade was pretty fearless, but the Evil Queen was no joke! During her reign of terror she struck Agrabah with horrific sandstorms. One of which, that killed her brother.
Raven looked concerned. "Yeah. That's me." She said looking at her feet.
"I KNEW I RECOGNIZED YOU! YOUR THE ONE WHO REBELED ON LEGACY DAY!" Jade said as she picked up her suitcase. "I-I gotta go." And with that she sprinted off up the stairs and into the grand hall. Her heart pounded. She had to get away. She ran and ran until she rounded a corner. And she bumped into another person. She went flying backwards and so did the other boy.
"What is up with me today?" She muttered. She sat up as did the boy. He was blond with fair skin. He had on a gold crown so he was obviously royalty.
"Oh no a fair maiden!" He said as he jumped to his feet. He scooped Jade up into his big muscular arms. "There shall be no damsels in distress here!"
Jade rolled her eyes. "A simple apology would be fine." She had a feeling he would be royally annoying. She tried to wriggle out of his grasp.
"Never fear! Daring Charming is here!" He said arrogantly and flashed her a blindingly white smile.
"Ack!" Yelped Jade as she covered her eyes. Couldn't this moron take a hint? She was perfectly fine on her own. If only she could break free.
"Oh Daring! Said a female voice behind them. Daring whirled around to face the voice. It was a girl with a red cloak, with its hood covering most of her face. "There's a girl in the east wing that needs rescuing." She said plainly.
"Whew! Two damsels in a day!" He said heroically. And he ran off in the west direction.
"Wait," said Jade. "That's west."
The cloaked girl looked at her and rolled her eyes. "Don't worry, there was no girl in the first place." She said. "I had a feeling that he was getting on your nerves."
"Heh. Thanks. It's nice to know that some people actually have brains around here." She bent over to pick up her bag. "Hey, while you're here, can you help me find-" she whirled around but the girl was gone.
"The people here sure are weird." She thought.
After about thirty minutes of wandering around the dorm building, Jade came across a very perky blond girl with royally pale skin. Jade took one look at her blood red lips, and blue eyes, but knew instantly who she was. "Apple White!" She gasped and immediately fell into a bow. Everyone looked the the new princess with an odd expression. Jade wondered why she was the only one in this position. Didn't the others have any manners?
"Oh, don't worry. You don't have to do that here. I'm just a regular student right now." Apple said in her regal voice. Jade stood back up. "Nice one Jade. Your first day here and you've already made a fool of yourself."
"Sorry about that." Jade said still highly embarrassed.
"No worries. You'd be surprised at how much this happens." Apple said. She studied Jades face for a spell. "Are you Jade? I think I am supposed to be meeting you in a few minutes outside."
"Oh, yeah I'm Jade. I got here a little early. My mother is very hexcited about me going to school here."
"Well funny running into you here, I hope you haven't had too much trouble getting around."
Too much trouble? This place was massive! She had ended up in the castleteria SIX times! Her legs were definitely going to fall off at the MENTION of stairs.
"Eh, I can handle it. " Jade said coolly. Hex no she couldn't!
"Great I know hexactly where your dorm room is." Apple said while tuning around. Jade followed the blond down a hall around a corner. Around another corner and to a flight of stairs. Jade groaned inwardly at the sight and drug her legs upstairs.
"Here we go!" Apple said hexitedly as they walked down the last hall and arrived at the dorm room door.
Jade looked at the door. She heard a faint humming inside. "Thanks Apple." She smiled at the future queen.
"No problem. I'll let you get settled in." Said Apple as started to walk away. Jade turned towards the door.
'Go on Jade. She couldn't be all that bad. Just knock." And right as her knuckles flew towards the door, it sprang open, and she practically punched her roomie in her nose.
"Ouch" said the girl on the other side.
"Oh no!" Gasped Jade. "I'm so sorry."
The girl looked back up. "No biggie. I'm actually indestructible. Things don't really hurt me."
Jade smiled."I have a feeling we'll get along really well in that case. I'm Jade."
The brunette replied, "My name is Valerie." She said as she moved over to make room for Jade to enter. Once Jade stepped in, she finally got a good look at Valerie. She was quite fair, with pale skin, tight dark brown curls, and a soft baby pink dress. Shealso wore a small silver crown with a small pink gem embedded into it.
Valerie smiled. "I love your outfit by the way."
Jade beamed. She wore a short blue puffy top resembling her mothers, with black leggings and blue ballet flats. Her tan face and body were adorned with jewels. Her long black hair was pulled into two long braids with streaks of blue weaved into them.
"I love your story by the way. Your so lucky to have it," gushed Valerie. "It's way better than mine. Nobody knows about it."
Jade felt guilty. She honestly had no idea either. "What story is it?"
"Valissa the Fair." Said Valerie rolling her eyes. "I'm thinking about rebelling from it."
Jade must've looked fairy surprised, because Valerie groaned and said, "You're not one of those naive people who are all like, "You must follow your destiny, or else you'll go 'POOF' and all that, blah!"
"No!" Said Jade quickly. "Actually I support them. I think that you should be able to write your own stories and all."
Valerie looked at her skeptically. "What about Raven Queen? How do you feel about her, huh?
Jade felt so nervous. To be honest, she was terrified of the Queen name. She had a reason to be afraid.
*Flashback*
Jade and her brother Aaron, where sitting on the palace steps watching their younger siblings run around one hot Arabian afternoon.
"So, I'm sitting there in the room. And the dude walks up and says, 'Would you like a drink sir?'" Said Aaron as him and Jade cracked up laughing.
"Oh, I get it, that's hilarious! I can't even imagine everyone's face!" Said Jade as she held her stomach laughing.
"Yeah well anyway-"started Aaron but was cut off by a loud rumble from the evening sky. Everyone immediately stopped what they were doing to stare at the large clouds on the horizon.
Aaron bolted upward. "SANDSTORM!" He yelled as the little kids screamed in terror. They all ran to the palace for shelter. Jades little sister ran up to her and grabbed her hand, with 3 of her brothers close behind.
"Wait," said Jade with a panic stricken face. "Where's Samuel?"
The group looked toward the clouds of sand that were quickly approaching the palace. Little Samuel sat on the ground clutching his knee and in tears.
"Samuel!" Screeched Jade as the first few grains of sand hit her face. Aaron sprinted across the garden towards Samuel and scooped the little boy in his arms. He placed Samuel with the others.
"No! You left Humphrey!" Whined Samuel. Aaron spotted Samuel's favorite toy elephant laying on the ground.
"Don't let him die! Please!" Bawled Samuel.
Aaron looked Jade dead in the eyes and ordered, "Take them inside, now."
"No!" Said Jade in horror. "Don't go!" She said pleading.
Aaron made a reassuring smile on his face. Then he bolted back towards the toy.
Jade dragged her siblings into the palace. They took cover as sand blew inside and covered everything.
"Aaron," sobbed Jade as she held all of her other siblings tightly.
*End of Flashback*
"Uh..." Said Jade dumbly as Valerie rolled her eyes.
"Let me guess, you don't particularly like her, huh?" Said Valerie.
Jade stood there silently. 'Say something you idiot!' Her thoughts said.
"Hmph. Well that settles that." Valerie said. "I'm going out," said Valerie as she grabbed her pink purse. "Charm you later." And with that. She walked out of the dorm room.
Jade sat on her bed, heart pounding. 'Calm down. Just take deep breaths. It's okay. Just breathe.' she thought to herself.
A knock on the door shook her out of her thoughts. Jade slowly stood up and walked towards the door. She opened it, and saw Raven Queen standing outside.
Jade slammed the door shut.
"Wait!" Said the muffled voice from outside. "I'm really sorry about what happened today. I didn't mean to blow up like that. If it was something I did, then I'm royally sorry." Jade stood trembling on the other side of the door.
She felt the locked door and raced across the room in search of a weapon. She was pretty strong herself, but who knows what she was up against. She might need more than her fists to take down a Queen.
She held up the long stick thingy that she had found on Valerie's side if the room. She cautiously, opened the door and peered out into the hall.
Outside was Raven along with three other girls, such as the one she had with her earlier. What was her name again?
Maya? Molly? Maggie? Maddie? Maddie! Yes, that was it. She stood there waving furiously, with a giant smile.
The other girls, another whom she recognized, with the red cloak, and another who Jade didn't recognize.
The red cloak girl nodded a hello, as the other gave a little finger wave. She had dark skin and brown curls.
"I'm sorry we got off on the wrong foot today," Raven started, snapping Jades attention back to the ebony haired princess. "I was hoping you could at least forgive me." She said hopefully.
Jade didn't believe the charade for a second. "Who are those girls she's with? Her evil minions? Maybe. Or, not minions but... brainwashed slaves! That must be it!" She startled at her realization. She couldn't just stand here and make more innocent lives stolen at the hands of a Queen. She had to stop her!
"But you don't have to," piped up the evil girl. "I just..." she trailed off.
"No, no! It's okay." Lied Jade. She almost had Raven right where she needed her.
"Great. Well in that case, would you like to hang out with me and my friends tonight?" Offered Raven.
Perfect! This was her chance to save those poor girls. "Sure!" She answered. "Let me just grab my coat..."
