Chapter 10: A Day of Rest
Hey everyone I'm back with another chapter of The Nobody of Ever After High. Thank you all so much for you support. I saw most of you were surprised about Vanitas making a comeback but trust me he's an excellent villain for the story and for what I have planned. So please enjoy and review.
It had been two days since Roxas' battle with Vanitas and he was still in the Nurse's office getting looked at.
As Roxas laid in bed all the memories were still fresh in his mind.
"No matter how hard you try you'll never be your own person."Vanitas said before disappearing.
'I've been out of practice for awhile that guy almost killed me and the others.' Roxas thought rolling over in his bed when the door opens.
Roxas looks to see Raven and Maddie walking in with a small cart.
"Hey look who's awake." Raven smiles.
"Hey Raven, Maddie." Roxas smiles.
"We brought you a little something to help you feel better." Maddie said pulling out a cup of tea which fills up as she pours the teapot upside down.
"Thanks Maddie." Roxas said taking the cup.
"After saving Wonderland Grove I can't thank you enough." Maddie smiles.
"So, what did Madame Yaga say about your condition?" Raven asks.
"She says I need to stay in bed for another day, so I can rest." Roxas sighs before sipping his tea.
"Nothing wrong with that you just focus on sleeping and we'll see you soon." Maddie said refilling his tea.
"Thanks girls." Roxas smiles.
"So Roxas who exactly was that guy back there?" Raven asks.
"I wish I knew, but his face looked like an old friend of mine." Roxas frowned looking down before Raven patted him on the back.
"Hey, don't worry we got your back so if comes back he'll have to get through us too." Raven said.
"Yeah he'll be spinning teacup after you get done with him." Maddie said spinning her teacup like a top.
Roxas lets out a chuckle at Maddie's imagination. "Thanks."
"Well see you when you get better Roxas." Raven said as she and Maddie left the room.
Roxas finishes his tea before laying back down in bed to sleep. Though his nap didn't last long as Roxas slowly opens his eyes to see a small basket of apples nearby and a neck pillow around his head.
"What the? Where did this come from?" He said grabbing the neck pillow.
"About time you woke up." Roxas looks to see Briar and Apple sitting nearby.
"You can thank Briar for the neck pillow." Apple said.
"Hey, Sleeping Beauty's daughter remember if there's one thing I'm good at besides throwing parties it's sleeping comfortably." Briar smiles.
"Thanks Briar this really comfy." Roxas said.
"The apples are from me I figured you could use a snack." Apple smiles.
"Thank you." Roxas reaches to the basket and takes a bite.
"Roxas on behalf of the student council here at Ever After we would like to thank you for saving Wonderland Grove." Apple said in a formal tone.
"Apple, you don't need to act like that I was just didn't want anything to happen to this place." Roxas said.
"Well Roxas once you get out I'll set up a little party for you, so get plenty of rest." Briar said.
"You and your parties Briar." Roxas chuckles.
"Roxas you're something else you know that." Apple smiles.
"How so?" Roxas asks.
"You saved all of us back there from that guy and from all those monsters in the past and you do it all on your own." Apple said.
"It's no big deal really." Roxas said.
"Hey, don't be like that face it Roxas you're a hero around here." Briar said.
"A Hero." Roxas said still getting used to that title.
"See you soon Roxas." Apple said as she and Briar left.
After they left Roxas put the neck pillow on and tried to get some more sleep which thanks to Briar's gift was a lot easier.
After some minutes later, it was nice and quiet until Roxas is woken up by the sound of footsteps. He opens his eyes to Poppy and her sister Holly walking in.
"Hey Roxas, feeling better?" Poppy asks.
"Yeah if Madame Yaga wasn't so worried I would be out of here by now." Roxas said.
"Well you did come here with bruises and unconscious." Holly said.
"Was it those monsters again?" Poppy asks.
"Yes, but no." Roxas said not wanting to say he was being targeted.
"Well don't worry Roxas next time those monsters come you've got some backup." Poppy said pulling out her frying pan.
Holly chuckles. "She's actually gotten really good with that thing. She's beaten a few of the boys in swordfights. Frying pans who knew?"
"Well I could definitely use a partner when I'm all fixed up." Roxas said.
"Poppy O'Hair here and ready for action." She said holding up her frying pan.
Roxas smiles and lets out a chuckle. "Thanks Poppy I needed that."
"See you soon." Poppy waved as she and Holly left.
Roxas smiles as he lays back in bed for what seems like a few hours he suddenly hears a calm soothing music. He opens his eyes to see the sun was setting outside and a
mirror pod playing music.
"Where did this come from?" He asks picking it up.
"You like my new mix?" He turns to see Melody and Cerise sitting nearby.
"We figured you could use something relaxing, so Melody made you a playlist and we went to the cafeteria to get you some food." Cerise said holding up a picnic basket.
"Thanks Baba Yaga has been given me nothing but Porridge, how does Blonde like that stuff so much?" He said sticking out his tongue in disgust.
"It's a family thing probably." Melody chuckles.
"Come on let's eat." Cerise said as they all took something from the basket.
"We were all worried about you when Daring and Dexter brought you in Roxas, lots of us were scared." Melody said.
"Why? I'm not really anyone special." Roxas said.
"Hey, don't talk like that. Roxas you're apart of Ever After High and you're our friend, so don't talk like that." Cerise said.
"We look out for each other just like you do for us." Melody smiles.
Roxas looks at the two girls as a tear slowly comes down his cheek. "Thanks girls."
After the two of them left Roxas realized the reason all of them came: Raven, Apple, Maddie, Briar, Poppy, Holly, Cerise and Melody. They were his friends along with several
other students at the school.
"For once in my life I feel like I belong somewhere." Roxas smiles before it turns into a frown.
"But will they still treat me the same when they find out the truth about me?"
That thought remained in Roxas' thoughts as he slowly fell asleep.
The next day Roxas was deemed healed and given permission from Baba Yaga to leave. As he looked around he couldn't find his Organization coat.
"Hey, have you seen my coat?" Roxas asks.
"Sorry Roxas, but that thing was destroyed with a big hole in it." Baba Yaga said holding up the remains of it.
"Well I guess I shouldn't be wearing that thing anymore anyway." Roxas sighed.
"Well luckily you have us for help." Roxas turns around to see Lizzie and Ashlynn walking in with a girl with wavy blue hair and fairy wings.
"Roxas meet Farrah Goodfairy daughter of the Fairy Godmother." Ashlynn said
"Hi nice to meet you, but what are you girls doing here?" Roxas asks.
"Roxas as thank you for saving Wonderland Grove I asked Ashlynn to help me with make a little something as thanks and Farrah is here to add a special touch." Lizzie said as
Farrah took out a wand.
"Ready." Farrah twirls her wands as a bright light engulfs Roxas when the light disappears Roxas looks to see his clothes had changed.
He now wore a black leather jacket with checkerboard outlines and a hood, a white t shirt, a checkerboard bracelet with a black ring and white ring on two of his fingers, black
pants and black shoes. On the back of his jacket was the Nobody Symbol.
"Wow." Roxas said looking at his new outfit.
"Lizzie and I came up with the outfit design, while Farrah added some magic to give you a little extra help." Ashlynn explains.
"Wow thank you so much. Roxas smiles.
"And um sorry about always yelling at you in the past. Recently I've been trying to act different around different than how my mother rules, so friends?" Lizzie asks holding out her hand.
Roxas looks at Lizzie before reaching out and shaking it. "Absolutely."
In another world in a tall tower sits an old man in bright blue robes with a pointy blue hat with stars on it, this was Yen Sid the most powerful sorcerer in the world. As he was going through his notes on how to help Sora and the others a bright light appears in the room.
"Hmm what is this?" Yen Sid looks towards the light to see it take the shape of Ever After High before he sees two figures summoning Keyblades one made of light the other darkness. "I see, so another Servant of Darkness has found one of the lights. Mickey!" He yelled summoning his student.
"Master Yen Sid." He bowed in respect.
"It appears another light has been discovered and it appears Xehanort has discovered it as well." Yen Sid said surprising Mickey.
"What?! We have to get to the light quick!" Mickey panics before Yen Sid holds up his hand.
"Be calm my former apprentice the light is in a world that can only benefit him, there he will learn to overcome his greatest obstacle if he can accomplish this task he will be a
great aid for the battle ahead."
Mickey looks at the image Ever After High and is puzzled. "I've never ever seen that world before, we should send someone to help him."
Yen Sid's face slowly turns to a smile. "I myself went to that world once upon a time and I know just the person to send there to help him."
