Chapter 7: A Little bit of Home

One day at Giselle's Boarding House, the kids from Ever After were hanging around in their rooms. However they weren't their usual happy selves, they missed their parents and their homes. They had come down with a bad case of homesickness.

Sure the kids were having a great time in Enchanted City and in the boarding house, they had made new friends, seen new places, and could spend all day playing and hanging out. But they missed their own rooms, and houses, but most of all they missed their parents.

Suddenly Giselle came on the intercom. "Kids, your parents are on video chat." she said. Excited, the kids of Ever After hurried out of their rooms and downstairs to Giselle's office.

On the computer in the office, the kids' parents were on the screen. "Hi, kids." said Lizzie. "Hi, Mom." said Cameron. "You all enjoying yourselves?" asked Kitty. "We are, Mom." answered Kit. "Are you eating right and getting enough sleep?" asked Daring.

"Yes, Dad." said Maria. "And you're behaving yourselves?" asked Raven. "Yes, Mom." said Rain. "How's fighting the Evil Queen going?" asked Gabriel. "So far we're winning." said Cupid. "So the battle will be over soon?" asked Maisie.

"Hard to say, but we don't think it's done just yet." answered Maddie. "We miss you guys." said Jake. "Aw, we miss you all too." said Ashlynn. "But don't worry we'll let you know when it's all over." said Cerise.

When the kids were done video chatting, they left the office. "Gee, I hope we'll be able to go home soon." said Cameron. "Yeah, I miss my mom and dad." agreed Maria.

"I miss my mom too, and my room." said Kit. "Hey, guys." said Luke, as he and his friends came downstairs. "Oh, hey Luke." said Rain. "We're going outside to play on the playground, wanna come?" asked Jazz.

"Sure." answered Maisie. Outside, the kids did play, but because they were feeling homesick, they didn't really focus on playing. The kids of Enchanted City took notice of their friends' demeanor. "What's wrong, guys?" asked Rock.

"It's nothing, we're just feeling a little homesick." explained Fern. "Must be rough being away from your homes and family." said Coral. "Yeah, but hey we'll get over it." said William. But getting over homesickness was taking longer than the kids though.

It had been a week, and the kids were still feeling down. So the others decided to help their friends out. One morning, they met in the library to discuss a plan. "There must be a way to help them." said Fred.

"Yeah, but how?" asked Coral. "What are you kids doing?" asked Farrah, as walked up to the kids, holding baby Zack. "The other kids are feeling homesick, Mom." said Fred. "Oh, that's sad." said Farrah.

"And we're trying to figure out a way to cheer them up." explained Rock. "That's great kids." said Farrah, and she went on to the laundry room. "So what's the best way to get rid of homesickness?" asked Luke.

"We just need to make Enchanted City feel like Ever After." said Coral. "So how do we that?" asked Fred. "We get some of Ever After, and bring it here." answered Jazz. "And I think I know how to do it. Huddle up, you guys." said Rock.

They all did, and Rock told his friends their plan. When they agreed about it, they told the adults, which all agreed it was a good plan also.


The next day Jazz and Luke asked each of the other kids what was their favorite food that their parents cooked them, and when they had them all they told them to Ramona.

Coral and Rock went to the computer lab, and looked on the mirror net about how Ever After looked like in summer. And Fred along with his mom and other adults got all the devices they could.

That evening, the kids were in their rooms, when Ramona came on the intercom, and called them down for dinner. "I wonder what Ms. Badwolf cooked for dinner." said Jake. "You know, I like my aunt's cooking, but I miss my mom's food." said Luna.

"I know what you mean, Luna." agreed Griffin. "Hey, I wonder where the others are." said Owen. They looked around, and noticed that the five others weren't with them on their way to dinner.

"Maybe they're downstairs already." suggested Deven. When they got downstairs, they saw that all the lights were turned off. "Hey, where are the lights?" asked Spice. "Maybe we're having another blackout." said Rose.

They walked into the dining room, and couldn't believe their eyes. Everyone was there, and the room was decorated with green paper lanterns, and green streamers. And one several mirrorpads were their parents.

"What's going on here?" asked Sequoia in delight. "A little bit of Ever After in Enchanted City." explained Luke. "We knew that you all were feeling homesick, so we decided to cheer you up by doing this." explained Jazz.

"This is awesome." said Ash. The kids enjoyed themselves, talking to their parents on the mirrorpads, and enjoying the decorations. "Dinner is served." said Ramona, rolling a serving table filled with trays covered by lids. into the room.

"What's for dinner?" asked Maria. "Your favorites." answered Fred, as Ramona took off the lids. "There's chicken Parmesan for Maria, lasagna for Rain, baked chicken for Winter, veggie frittata for Jake, meatloaf for Griffin and Fern." said Jazz.

"Chicken fettuccine for Owen, grilled pork chops for Spice, spaghetti for Sequoia and Ash, risotto for Rose, ground beef and yellow rice for Deven." said Coral.

"Chili for William, turkey for Luna, mince pies for Maisie, sushi for Gabriel, fish tacos for Kit, and garlic shrimp for Cameron." said Rock. "Wow, all our favorites." said Rain. That evening, the kids were able to have dinner with their parents.

When it was time for bed, the kids said goodbye to their parents and hung up the mirrorpads, and went to sleep, their homesickness had been cured.
