Authors note: Thanks for checking out this story (my first fic ever published)! I love Ever After High, and Poison Apple is one of my favorite pairings, so I wanted to write some cute stuff. Reviews, follows, favorites are always appreciated :)

The student who usually had the most spell-binding days was going through quite an ordeal.

Apple White shivered from under her many blankets. She swore she could physically feel her headache and the pain in her stomach getting worse. The princess had felt miserable all afternoon, which had shocked her, as her morning had gone so well. She had gotten up, done her usual morning routine, which ended in her putting on her signature red dress with lace trim and short, poofy sleeves. Ultimately, she had decided to wear the new necklace that Raven had given her as opposed to her regular gold one. Apple felt another sharp stab of pain in her stomach and fiddled with the small, red apple pendant on her neck. She felt her mood lower even more as she thought back to what caused her current misery and her girlfriend's reaction to it.

It was a gloriously gorgeous day in the world of Ever After. Whether it was hexcelling in their fairy-favorite classes, taking tea at the Mad Hatter's café, or watching Blondie Lockes' latest Mirror Cast, everyone at Ever After High was having an amazing time.

To add to this perfect day, the fairest student of them all had no classes. Apple White woke up fresh and hexcited (like she always did) and only spent the briefest of moments contemplating if she should sleep in. A future queen couldn't afford to slack off, she reasoned with herself, and sprang out of bed with a smile. The bigger reason she wanted to wake up was that, the night before, her beautiful girlfriend Raven Queen had promised a delicious breakfast in bed, followed by a mysterious date that Raven refused to elaborate on (no matter how big Apple had made her eyes or how hard she had pouted). Trying and failing to contain her hexcitement, she flounced to her closet and started getting ready for her magical day.

After finishing her routine by clasping her new favorite necklace on, Apple sat on her bed, ready to take the day by storm. Luckily, before she could explode from eagerness, the blonde heard Raven returning from wherever after she had gone. The enchantress opened the door to their dorm as quietly as she could, (Apple squealed/cooed silently at this show of care), but gave up when she noticed Apple was completely awake.

"Morning, Apple. I see you were too enthusiastic to sleep in even a little," Raven said, a warm and slightly playful smile on her face as she leaned in the doorway. Apple's already big smile widened at her girlfriend's question, and at the food tray in her arms. "Are you kidding? I was almost too hexcited to sleep!" Raven chuckled. "I hope you're ready for a day that's going to knock your stockings off! First on the agenda, breakfast." The purple-haired girl placed the food tray lightly on Apple's desk, then stepped aside to give her girlfriend (it still astounded her that she was the girlfriend of Apple White) a better view of the goods she herself had made. Apple sprang up and rushed over to her desk, marveling at the mouthwatering treats. Apple pancakes, an apple tart, apple spice muffins, a glass of apple juice, and a bright, shiny apple to finish it all off. The blonde struggled to keep herself from openly drooling.

"I know how much you love apples," Raven said after a short silence. "There were apple fritters too, but Kitty poofed in and snatched them while I was cleaning up. I hope you like–" She didn't get the chance to finish her sentence, as Apple had nearly knocked her over with a fierce hug. "Wow, Raven! Everything looks spelltacular! I can't wait to dig in! You'll have some too, right?" "But–" Raven's claims that the breakfast was supposed to be for Apple only died on her lips as she stared into the hexcited and pleading eyes of Snow White's daughter. She shook her head before she could get lost in the infiniteness of Apple's sapphire eyes and sighed. "All right, I brought a second fork just in case."

Without another word, the two girls eagerly dug in.

Raven sat on Apple's bed, patting her stomach. She knew she could cook, but wow. Even with her bad habit of sometimes putting herself down (something Apple tried her hardest to change); Raven admitted to herself that she had done a wonderful job. She noticed that the only thing the two hadn't devoured was the perfect apple, which still sat untouched. Apple, still at her desk, turned to Raven with a questioning look and a nod to the fruit. "Go ahead," Raven waved off her concerns. "I'm full to bursting." Apple wasted no more time and snapped up the crisp apple. It disappeared in four bites and was accompanied by a rather unlady-like belch. Apple could only excuse herself and blush slightly at Raven's open mouth. "I just adore your cooking, and today was extra-amazing." Raven mirrored her blush with a smile and thanked her.

She stood from the royal's bed and brushed imaginary dust from her dress. "Now that we've eaten, I can finally show you my surprise, after a few lattes of course." She grinned, turned, and was almost out the door, before Apple's voice pulled her back in.

"Wait," Apple called, suddenly getting a mischievous idea. She reached up and unclasped her necklace before Raven turned again. "Can you help me put on this cute necklace I got from my favorite person in all of Ever After?" Raven blushed slightly at her comment and a small smile grew on her face. "Am I really your favorite person?" she asked, rubbing her arm shyly. Apple's eyes softened slightly as she took in the adorable sight. "Of course you are, Raven. You're one of my closest friends and the greatest girlfriend I've ever had." Raven raised an eyebrow at that, commenting: "Aren't I the only one you've ever had?" "Raven, that's not the point," Apple huffed cutely. "The point is that you're indescribably amazing and wonderful. Now, help me get this necklace on so we can have a magical day." Apple handed the jewelry to Raven and waited with bated breath.

She could feel Raven's warmth as the rebel leaned closer to attach the pendant to her neck. Goosebumps pricked her skin and she shivered with delight as she felt Raven's hot breath on her neck. It took less time than Apple would have liked for Raven to finish her job. As Raven gazed at the clasped necklace, a thought struck her. "Wait, weren't you already wearing this before?" Apple tapped her chin with a delicate finger, playfully contemplating her answer. "No, I don't think so." She cleared her throat. "Shouldn't we be going now? You promised me an enchanting day, and you know I don't like to be kept waiting."

Raven was no match for the puppy dog eyes thrown at her. The dark-haired girl felt a smile bloom on her face. "Of course, your highness," she said with a mock-curtsy. She felt tempted to hold her girlfriend's hand, but she knew Apple was still a bit iffy on telling the world about their relationship. It stung a bit that Apple insisted she couldn't tell Maddie or even Cerise (who she knew for sure could keep a secret), but she finally decided to let Apple go at her own pace and decide when they should tell others.

A few seconds later she found that she didn't have to worry, as Apple had taken it upon herself to grab Raven's hand and drag her out the door.
