It was a glorious morning at Ever After High.

However, things were not glorious for Wicca West, daughter of the Wicked Witch of the West. She sighed for the upteenth time as she sat in Headmaster Grimm's office.

Despite being the new girl, she's been fitting in as a villain just fine. Ever since she settled in, she's been casting one evil prank after another.

As the daughter of an infamous villain, Wicca was happy to cause some mischief and make people suffer.

Last week, she cast an evil spell Daring Charming's toothpaste, causing his teeth to turn green and crooked, then she melted all of Cedar Wood's art supplies together, cast a spell on Ashlynn Ella's shoe collection and turned them into mice, and she put ever-itching powder in Duchess Swan's dancing shoes.

But the one that landed her in the office was putting poisoned sugar cubes in Professor Rumpelstiltskin's coffee. The teacher ended up with the flu and a six foot long tongue covered in purple polka dots.

"Miss West, while I am very proud of you upholding the traditions of your evil destiny, you must not injure our faculty members!"

"What's the point of being a villain if I can't terrorize someone?!" Wicca replied.

"I understand for penchant for mayhem, Miss West. But there is such a thing as taking evil too far. I should cancel the upcoming Villain's Ball."

"What?! No way! Not the Villain's Ball!"

Wicca was looking forward to the Villain's Ball. The ball was Headmaster Grimm's idea to honor villains and all things evil.

"But since the ball is such a special occasion of my own creation, I've taken a new approach; assigning you a roommate."

"EXCUSE ME?!" Wicca shrieked. Her green eyes lit up like emerald fire. "A roommate?!"

"That's right. You will share your room with another-"

"SHARE?!" Wicca's black pointed hat curled in displeasure. "Oh, right! When someone says, 'wicked witch' I think, 'share!' A wicked witch DOES NOT SHARE WITH ANYONE!"

The room actually shook a little. Wicca's witchy tantrums had become infamous in Ever After High.

"I'm afraid you have no choice, Miss West. But on the bright side, your roommate is another villain just like you! Her name is Coral Witch, daughter of the Sea Witch. There are many students rejecting their evil destiny. So, perhaps you can guide Coral to embrace her wickedness while still showing self-control."

"Another villain?!" Wicca asked.

"That is correct. So, Miss West, be sure to make your new roommate feel welcome and I better see more restraint out of you from here on out." He narrowed his eyes at her. "Or it's dungeon detention for a very long time."

Wicca tried to protest. "But-"

"No, 'buts', Miss West! Now, I suggest you scoot along and be ready to welcome your new roommate!"

"You've got to be kidding!" Wicca snapped.

"It's no joke, Miss West!" He pointed to the door. "Away with you!"

Wicca tightened her fists. It was going to be a challenge, she was using every ounce of restraint she had just to keep herself from turning the headmaster into a frog!


Wicca stormed out of Headmaster Grimm's office in a huff. She looked up and saw her friend Raven Queen staring at her.

"Hey, Raven." Wicca groaned.

"I could hear you screaming all the way from Magicology class! With all that shouting, I thought you were going to explode!" Raven said.

"I'm a villain, Raven! I've got to keep up evil appearances!" Wicca swished her cape as she and Raven walked down the hall. "I just can't believe this! He can't do this to me! Having a roommate?! That's the worst punishment ever after! Even worse than cancelling the Villain's Ball!"

"Oh, please." Raven rolled her eyes. "The Villain's Ball. That's just another tactic Headmaster Grimm came up with to make me embrace my evil destiny. This has got to be his worst attempt yet."

"Well, I think it's great they're throwing a ball for us villains." Wicca responded. "We're finally being appreciated for our dark destinies. I for one am hexcited about the ball!"

"That reminds me, why did you pull all those evil pranks in the first place?" asked Raven.

"I only did those pranks because those people deserved it! Daring's blinding smile had me seeing spots so I had to dim down his teeth! Cedar actually called my skin gross looking, Duchess was being a royal snob, and don't get me started on Professor Rumpelstiltskin! He's the meanest teacher ever after! I mean, seriously! Who hires a guy like that?!"

"That gives you no excuse to poison him like that! He's still recovering in the hospital!" Raven replied. "And what about Ashlynn? Why'd you cast that spell on her shoes?"

"Well, I just wanted to try out this new spell I learned." Wicca cackled. "I threw that in for free!"

Raven shook her head. "Wicca, you can't be mean to people on a whim! I mean, Daring can't help it with his blinding smile, Cedar's cursed to tell the truth, and-"

"Duchess and Rumpelstiltskin are natural born jerks?" Wicca answered.

"Not...quite what I had in mind. But you have to show self-control. If you get in too much trouble, you could get expelled!"

"Yeah, Wanna-be evil!"

Wicca's hat was yanked off her head. Faybelle Thorn laughed as she twirled the witch's hat by her finger. "Busted by the big man, huh, West? It doesn't matter how many pitiful pranks you pull, you'll never catch up to the real villains."

Raven used her magic to retrieve Wicca's hat and placed it back on her friend's head. "Leave her alone, Faybelle!"

"Oh, what are you gonna do, Queen? Poison me?" the daughter of the Dark Fairy snorted. "Oh, wait! You don't have the guts to poison anyone! Not even that sickly sweet Apple White!" She laughed as she tossed her platinum ponytail. "Spell you later, losers!" And Faybelle flew away, blasting the girls with a snootful of fairy dust.

Wicca growled, using her hat to brush off the fairy dust. "That Faybelle think she's so hot! Well, she's number one on my hit list!"

Raven put a hand on Wicca's shoulder. "Wicca, you're just gonna have to ignore Faybelle. She's not worth getting upset over. And as for your roommate problem, it's not as bad as you think it is. Take it from the girl who has Apple White for a roommate."

Wicca blinked. "Come to think of it, you're right! How can you stand being in the same room with that girly girl?"

"It wasn't easy." said Raven, shaking her head. "What with Apple's cheerful singing in the morning, her songbirds fluttering all around the room, and the countless apples from her fans piling up in our dorm. But we eventually got used to each other's differences and got along great."

"So, you think me and this Carol or Coral or whatever her name is will get along fine?"

"Only if you give her a chance." Raven said seriously. "I know you're a villain, Wicca. But you need to tone down the eviltude if you want to make friends. It's better to have more friends than enemies."

Wicca sighed. "Yeah, you're right. Maybe having a roommate won't be a total drag."
