Lizzie woke up groggy and rubbed her head not knowing where she was, or what exactly what she had been doing. Last time it was night time but now it was the middle of the day. The was a glass wall where is showed her reflection slightly. Her make up was her signature gold and red colors. She had gold eye shadow and red eyeliner with a dark red lipstick, to bring out her eyes more. The make-up looked freshly placed on when she had no memory of putting on any make-up, and there was no one else in the small room with her. Lizzie was wearing a red dress that trailed to the ground and had a torn style just like the end of the train to her sleeves. On the edges gold was glittering on the ends giving it a royal look. Around her waist was a black silk like bow. Her hair was running like a river down her shoulders. Who ever placed on her make-up picked a good outfit along with it she admitted.

Lizzie's eyes then focused past her reflection and outside. The was a hall where most rebels seemed to be placed in. What she couldn't understand. She spotted Cerise Hood, Cedar Wood, Sparrow Hood, C. A. Cupid, and Hunter Huntsman on the opposite side of her hall. They all looked perfectly dressed but they were upset. Lizzie waved and yelled. "You guys?! Where are we you guys?" C. A. Cupid looked up and her eyes widened. The other royals that she could see waved at her. From the yelling they seemed so happy that she was there. "It's all Apple's fault!" yelled Cupid shaking her head. Her pink hair was pulled into a high pony tail and she was wearing a knee length dress with cotton trim on the end of the dress and sleeves.

"What do you mean?" Lizzie asked in confusion. There was a collective gasp. "Where have you been?" Cedar looked wide eyed at her. Lizzie shrugged. "Sleeping?" "I'll explain it. The future Raven saw came true and Apple told Raven this big lie or something to make her turn on us. Raven wouldn't look at us in the eye or anything..." Wait. So I am in the future?! Okay. So everyone feels like this has been happening for years. But I just woke up in the middle of it. Did I pass out or something? I don't get what's going on. Where are Kitty and Maddie... "So Raven is with Apple?" Cupid nodded about to continue but she gave up. Sparrow nodded and glared at something behind her. Lizzie turned to see Kitty and Maddie.

Maddie was out her cage and was working on Kitty's. But it looked like Maddie was in a trance. Sparrow coughed, "If they could do that all this time we wouldn't be this situation." Cerise shook her head and studied Maddie carefully, "No, look. Maddie is in a trace." Maddie and Kitty both stared at each other their pupils large. Suddenly they blinked and the effect was gone. "Can you let us out!" Maddie looked around. Her outfit was just like Lizzie's except her colors were purple and blue with some silver. Kitty's had a different color scheme of light purple and white with some gold. Maddie looked around. "I was in our dorm room room sleeping about a minute ago. Don't you feel that too, Kitty?" Kitty nodded. That's what Lizzie was doing before she ended up here!

Hunter was confused. "Guys that was like a year ago..." Maddie gasped. "You mean we're in the future!?" Poor Hunter looked even more confused. "I guess it would be the future in that frame of time. But that isn't the point" Kitty was silent and then turned invisible. She kicked open Lizzie's door from the inside and Lizzie stepped back. Lizzie hugged her bet friends but Kitty and Maddie seemed distant. Like they were the best friend and she was the third wheel. It made her feel the hurt. But then again, she was holding a secret away from them.

"This is the plan," began Kitty. "Lizzie will go and find Daring. He should know what's going on. Me and Maddie will be stopping any damage from happening. Do you know where Apple and Raven can be at this moment?" Cerise nodded. "At the square. Apple makes a speech every Friday, at noon to keep everyone updated. And she uses Raven's crystal ball to predict any harm." Maddie frowned. "The crystal ball begins good and then shows something bad. This isn't right..." Kitty waved her hand like waving the thought away. "We'll question that later. Find Raven and we'll go think about those ideas later. Okay? Let's go!"

Lizzie swept through the crowds and froze mid-step when she heard Apple's voice. So...mature? Cheering started and stopped just a quickly as Apple began to talk. "Hello my fellow citizens," Apple began. Lizzie managed to weave through the thick crowd. But she had to stop not to look suspicious. "I'm here to announce my marriage to Prince Daring Charming. Raven Queen will now foresee our future!" Lizzie stopped moving. He's getting married to Apple?! Apple of all people! Yea, I fell asleep for a year but... Lizzie looked up just in time to see Raven mumble something. "A perfect wedding is foreseen! The day will celebrate in our victory against the rebels!" Lizzie stopped. Wait- SHE WAS A ROYAL! Why was she sneaking at this point. She pretended to cheer and move closer to the building. The guards left to try and get a better look at the queen. "Stop! APPLE WHITE IS A LIAR AND A SCAM AND SHOULD BE PLACED TO DEATH!"

Lizzie turned to see Kitty point at Apple. There was a collective gasp going through the crowd. Murmurs about Rebels starting another rebellion passed through the crowds. "Guards! Capture them! And place them back in the prison!" That was all Lizzie heard before sneaking farther into the building. Frantic guards ran down the halls following Kitty who turned invisible and started knocking things down. Maddie used that as an escape and left. Lizzie took a deep breath and went down a hall to the right.

It took her several minutes before she finally made it to a large room. It was pretty obvious that it was Daring's room; There was a large picture of him on the door with Daring on a plague. Lizzie took a deep breath and knocked on the door. No one answer. Lizzie walked in and locked the door behind her looking around. Daring was sleeping on a couch that faced a mirror net broadcasting Apple's speech. Blondie was talking about how there won't be a rebellion. Lizzie rolled her eyes. Does Apple really think we can go on living like this? Daring began to stir and his eyes opened. Lizzie took a step back just in case he could call guards or anything in that sort. He pretty much looked the same except a bit older. But that was it.

"Lizzie? What are you doing here? What am I doing here? Where is Dexter? Where is our dorm?" Lizzie gave him a quick hug and moved away. "I'm guessing we're in the future by a year and everyone else has been living through it except me, you, Maddie, and Kitty. Raven is an option but she won't show anything out of place. Your going to get married to Apple in victory against rebels." Daring took a moment to take it in. "What about you and the other rebels?" "We were locked away... in a prison to what Apple told me.." Daring sat up. "This makes no sense-" Lizzie was deep in thought. "We have to free the other rebels. We need numbers. "

Daring hugged Lizzie again and they went to the door. "Daring? Apple would like to ta- Maddie?!" Lizzie flung open the door to see Raven and Maddie. She pulled them in the room and locked the door again. "Raven? Di- Did you wake up here feeling...out of place?" Raven nodded, "Apple wants to see you Daring. To make dinner plans. You know where she is?" Daring rubbed his head. "I have memory, I guess." Maddie pushed him out the room and locked it.

"Raven we were so worried! We thought you were under Apple's evil spell!" Raven tapped her lip. "She is very convincing. I think something happened that we missed. Why else would Apple be mad?" Lizzie glared. "Don't go there! Are you telling us that your on Apple's side now?" Maddie clenched her fists. "Don't yell at her. This is stressful." Raven opened her mouth but Lizzie wasn't having it. "Rebels are being locked up! Are you kidding me?! And you have the nerve to be on Apple's side?! Not only that-" Raven covered her face in her hands. "Stop. Lizzie. How would you know that rebels are locked up?" Lizzie was a taken back from Raven's new serious tone. "And if I start demanding things from Apple she'll lock me up! Then how are you going to get that happily ever after with Daring then!" Raven's voice came out in a snarl. "I'm sorry..." Maddie hugged Raven.

It's like we're in the future. By one year. The future we saw in the crystal ball-" Lizzie frowned. They did something without her? "What crystal ball?" Raven looked away. "I'm putting an invisible spell on you guys. Please stay quiet. Find Kitty and you guys go to the throne room. That's where you'll be able to find me." After placing the spell on them, Raven left. Maddie and Lizzie gazes didn't meet. "So you guys are the new Apple not inviting me, huh?" Maddie went out the room clenching her fists again and taking soft deep breaths. They eventually found Kitty pushing the guards under some tables. When she was done Kitty wiped her hands free from pretend dust. "Easy as pie." Maddie laughed. "Or tea."

Kitty smiled and then looked at Lizzie. "So you found him?" Lizzie nodded. "Maddie found Raven. We spoke and now she looks distant from me. Why wont she talk to me?!" Maddie glared at the ground. "We know your big secret... It doesn't matter now. We need to find the throne room." Kitty and Maddie ran done the hall silently while Lizzie walked behind them slowly. What secret? Me and Daring? So what... Or another secret. Hopefully. Last minute Kitty and Maddie turned invisible and Lizzie willed herself to become invisible. Her body became a shimmer like tone and very see through. Yet she could still see Maddie. Kitty was somewhere else. Apple and Daring was having a conversation.

He looked very jumpy. Apple turned to Raven who was on her throne looking into the glass ball intently. "Raven? Do you think Daring lost his memory too? Do you think that, Daring?" Raven looked straight at space in front of her. "Yea. He woke up just like me, without memory of this place. Apple can I have something?" Apple pointed to where a table was to be placed and looked at Daring for approval. Her nodded and then she nodded. "Yeah. Anything." 4 chairs went around that table. "Can I have Maddie stay with me? I miss her." Apple froze, speechless. Daring cleared his throat. "You did say anything so can Lizzie stay with me?" Lizzie felt her heart swell. "No! Maddie may stay with you Raven. Lizzie Hearts will be nowhere near you, Daring! She cannot be trusted. She is sneaky." And just like that Lizzie felt her heart be stepped on. Maddie ran out the door and Raven followed her.

"Can you believe they escaped though?" Daring sighed and shook his head. "I didn't see anything. I was sleeping." Apple pointed two more tables in place. "Well, sneaky Lizzie convinced Kitty and Maddie to try and ruin my speech in front of the whole town. How mean of them?! Like honestly, what did I ever do to them. I was so embarrassed. It made me look like I had no control." Lizzie clenched her fists about to yell, 'You don't have any control locking up people as you please!' But she didn't not to blow her cover. A visible Maddie and Raven walked into the room and Maddie stayed quiet. Apple gave Maddie a quick smile, which looked pretty fake to Lizzie. "Why don't you two go dress up for the wedding rehearsal?"Lizzie followed Maddie and Raven. A couple minutes later Kitty appeared.

Lizzie turned visible without thinking due to the spell wearing off. Maddie was having a silent conversation with Earl Grey and Kitty was talking about going back to the prison. Lizzie overheard the conversation. "Too dangerous..." "It'll be better if I'm alone." "How will you contact us then?" "Lizzie can come." Lizzie pretended not to her only for the best. It would count as eavesdropping. She realized the situation was stressful and she was in Apple's domain. What Apple said was law. If she got married to Daring she would have to cheer. If they were in the future could they ever go back? She wanted to go back very badly. She wanted what was a year before.

Kitty turned and grabbed Lizzie's arm and pressed a lip to her mouth. They went behind a pillar. "Lizzie, I'm sorry. Maddie is still pretty mad at you, but just control yourself okay? You don't want it, anger, hatred. Let's go." Lizzie snatched her arm away. "What do you mean control myself? What's this secret that you know that has me to control myself!" Kitty began to freak by hissing a 'shhh' "We'll get caught." "You already did." Both girls jumped to see Apple and two guards glaring at them. "Bring Cheshire back and we'll deal with Lizzie here." A guard grabbed Kitty and dragged her away while a guard grabbed Lizzie's arm to hold her just in case.

Lizzie thought of something. "What kind of queen are you?! You think you can just...lock me up! I'm a royal. And we used to be friends..." Apple looked away. "Don't act so innocent. I saw something that Raven was right about. Raven is my new best friend and you can't stop me from being queen. I do what must be done-" "Your mother wouldn't do this! She loves nature and is kind. Snow W-" "Shut Up!" Apple glared at Lizzie. My mother would approve. I am a queen. You would've been one if you haven't betrayed me. Mr. Philips take her to the rose garden where she can paint all the white roses red." Lizzie's eyes widen and was dragged away.

Lizzie woke up in a cold sweat. She was in her dorm room. Kitty was sleeping not so far away. I have to destroy that crystal. It affects the future. And I have to apologize to all my friends... Lizzie went over to Kitty and nudged her gently. Kitty didn't move and snored quietly. Lizzie went into the mirror and realized she was out of the fabulous outfit from before. Let me go to Raven's and Maddie's dorm room, just in case.

Lizzie tip-toed through-out the hall and finally spotted the door. She made a run for it and closed herself in the room. Maddie stared at her. "Where is Raven?" Lizzie asked walking to Raven's bed. "I don't know," replied Maddie as Lizzie ripped the sheets off Raven's bed. She wasn't there
