I read that in previous fics I left things not completly finished or that they were rushed, so I wrote this short extra part for Familiar Reunion to pice it together. If you want to skip it, go down this page for the part that says "And Algong Came..." thank you.

Bonus,Familiar Reunion part 3

Darling wore her best dress next to the one she shreded the day before. She had fixed her hair in a way it would please her mother, covered all the scratched with make up and now was ready to head downstair to meet with her for breakfast. Everything was just fine, everything but her. She was still sore, but at least the pain was wearing off, butnevertheless now she was abut to meet something far more scarier than a dragon.

"There you are, Darling" the Queen waved and waited for her to sit "I've already order something to eat"

"Thank you, mother" she unfolded the napkin "I wanted to talk to you about yesterday"

"Good, so did I" she gazed intensly to her eyes "I was surprised indeed, after seeing how much of a...wreck you were"

"Mother, I can explain, I want to talk about my-"

"Darling, sweetheart, I'm not done" she waved a finger.

"But I am n-" she saw the disappointed look in her face "Sorry"

"Well, I visited your brothers, they insisted everything was fine, that you were just trying to enjoy your time at school before your duties called upon you" Darling was glad her brothers intervined "But...truth to be told, I am not completly sure school is helping you reach your destiny"

"A made up destiny" Darling said through clenched teeth.

"Ladies don't talk under their breath, they have to speak clearly and firmly, with poise and elegance" her moder scolded at her manners "Never mind that, what I think it's happening is that you are forgetting the joys of your own tale, so I think you should be surrounded by those that do embrace their own, so that they can inspire you. So, to help you at the search of your quest, here is what I propose..."

And Darling just sat there, shoulders hunched foward protectivly, eyes fixed to the floor, and a smile that was faintly fading away.

"And Along Came... part 1"

Cerise was walking through the halls, her chin up, her eyes wondering around, plainly happy. She was so hexcited about the break that was coming that nothing could possibly bother her. Not even when the goats rushed in front of her making her bump into someone, the now scariest Rebel at school.

"Watch it, Hood!" Ramona growled making all the students hide. Then she winked at her trying not to laugh. It definitely was a competitive sport for them to keep the family secret "See you later, lil' Cerise" she mumbled to her sister, to what she smiled watching her walk away.

Darling approached from behind after observing the interaction "Well, I've never seen you this happy" she commented.

Cerise turned with the smile still on her lips "This break my sister is going to spend it with us at the village and my dad is coming for a couple of days too" she half whispered half shouted "It's been forever after since the last time we spend a break together"

"That sure sounds lovely" she tried to give her,her best signature smile, but still it was off.

Cerise noticed "What are you doing for break?" she asked opening her looker.

"Well...mother suggested each Charming sibling should um... get in a quest" she tried to make it sound half as interesting as it really was.

"That's wicked, what's yours?"

"Mine? um..."

"Darling?" Cerise gave her a quizzical look "everything in order?"

She sighted "Yeah. Daring and Dexter are going to Prince Camp with Hopper. So my big quest is finding another princess to spend a week with"

"Well...how about Rosabella? She is your roommate, you two get along"

"She was my first option but...mother considers her parents Rebels. Besides she is luckier than I am, she is going to travel across the kingdoms with her parents in search of books and adventures" she crossed her arms across her chest "It would had been fun to go with Lizzie, I sure could use some time in Wonderland but...pretty much the same problem with my mother. My only real options are asking Briar or Apple"

"You...don't sound too pleased"

"It's not that I don't enjoy being with them but... they do embrace the Damsel in Distress in their stories and I'm trying to defy that" she huffed "well, that's the real reason my parents want me to stay with either of them" she sighted leaning against the lookers "I'm not looking forward to it. I'll probably go with Apple, tough. We spent much of our childhoods together since our families destinies and all. Plus I really get along with Snow White, so..."

Cerise pondered for a second "Do you... want to rebel?"

"What do you mean?" she frowned confused

"Well, as long as your parents think you are with one of the princesses, they won't ask any questions, right?" she closed her looker "so...how would you like coming to my house for the break?"

Darling eyes went wide and her jaw almost dropped to the floor "Really? Wouldn't that get you in trouble with your parents?"

"Not in any more trouble that you would get in if your parents ever found out" she pointed "I'll take the risk if you are willing to. If your don't want to, it's fine, I'll-"

"Of course I would love to!" she exclaimed

"Well great" she smiled "you talk to someone to cover for you, I'll talk to my parents"

"Are you sure it's not too much trouble? After all, it is your family's secret"

"I will...manage"

Apple pondered for a second, then started to drag her foot on the ground "I guess I could... cover for you, but I don't think you should lie to your mother. And you won't even tell me where you are going to. I feel kind of bad about it, she has been very good to me"

"Well, she did thought you would marry her older son" she regretted those words immediately. The pale girl seemed hurt by them "so-sorry, I didn't meant to..." she sighted defeated "I've been having a hard time with her lately, I shouldn't take it out on you"

Apple saw the troubled expression in her face and exhaled "Yeah, my mom and I have rough patches too" she rested her hand on Darling's shoulder "And after knocking you from your dragon, I think I owe you this much. Sure, I'll tell your mom you are staying the week with me"

"Really?, thank you so much!" she hugged her.

"What are friends for?" she embraced her as well "Have fun and call if you need anything, pretended or not, my house is always open for you"

"Thanks, Apple"

Cerise took a deep breath, the whole family was reunited in the forest, it was as a good of a moment as any other.

"Mom, dad, can I invite someone over for the break?"

"Who Cerise, Raven?"

"Well no..."

"Your cousin Sparrow?"

"No, I was thinking...Darling...Charming?"

Both parents were shocked by the name "Darling?" her father asked confused, of course he knew his little girl hanged with her, but still it was unhexpected.

"Yes"

"Cerise, I think you understand why that can't be, she doesn't know about us" her mother said in soothing voice, but the wolf girl couldn't meet her gaze "Does she?"

All eyes fell on her "I didn't told her, she figured it out! I mean, Ramona and are are very alike and-"

"We can't!" her father screamed "It's too risky! We can't trust she won't-"

"She has secrets of her own, she wouldn't betray me, she is my friend dad!" she pleaded "she is"

He sighted "Cerise..."

"You should let her" Ramona intervened after being quiet the whole time "she needs it, I think we all do. We have been keeping this secret long enough, it's hard sometimes and if a friend of hers is so trust worthy that up to this point she knew and didn't call it on us, you should let Cerise have her over" she laid a hand on her sister's shoulder "It's good to have someone you can count on"

Both parents looked at each other and finally the Big Bad Wolf sighted offering a tender smile and nodded solemnly "Very well then"

That's it for today, thank you for all the support, favs, reviews, and follows :) Until next time!
