Alright now sit back, relax and enjoy reading the new chapter!
Chapter 10: Meeting the Rebels
"Ah Miss. Courtney Bailar-Tanets, it's a royally pleasure to finally meet you!" Apple White politely greeted to Courtney who was still at Headmaster's Grimm office since she was required to wait there by the Headmaster so Apple herself can show her to her dorm room where she can not only get a room now, but also meet her roommate and indeed new friend, Melody Piper.
"Oh hi," Courtney kind of replied shyly to Snow White's daughter. "You must be,"
"Yep, Apple White, the daughter of Snow White and Raven's roommate," Apple curtsied to the CIT.
"Oh, she told me that already once she found me."
"Found you," The blonde princess asked curiously. Then, Courtney found her mistake.
"Oh, did I say found?" Courtney started to sweat nervously. "Uh, I met,"
"Yes Apple, Maddie and I did happen to find Courtney because she was lost." Raven also nervously admitted but sounded less nervous since she was revealing the truth; The Rebel Queen then shot a glare at Maddie, meaning it was her turn to speak.
"Oh right, yeah we found Courtney in The Enchanted Forest because she was lost in there since she, uh couldn't find her way to the school." The Mad Hatter Girl said her part but also added her nervous smile.
"Yeah, what they said, I have a huge fear of forests." The CIT liked and quickly covered it up with an anxious smile of her own.
"Oh okay, that makes sense I guess." Apple vaguely says. She quickly dropped the subject though and went back to her normal personality.
"But either way, I think you're going to love Ever After High Courtney." The girl with pure white skin bashed her eyes and dance happily as she explained the school to her guest.
"It's a royally wonderful school filled with the most magnificent students from fairy tales everywhere, just like myself."
To be honest, The CIT felt a little awkward around the Snow White offspring do to her charming personality, but hey it's not like she was by Lindsay or anything. Maybe she either didn't like how self-centered Apple sounded or Apple was just creeping her out since she wasn't use to charming and optimistic things back on Total Drama do to the fact she was mostly a bitter person.
"But all that's about to change Courtney, you got this girl. Raven's gonna help you, then she'll be your girlfriend." The CITPrincess spoke in her thoughts.
"So, shall we get you to your dorm?" Apple kindly asked Courtney who snapped back to normal.
"Huh, I mean yes, I would like that."
"So, shall we get you to your dorm?" Apple kindly asked Courtney who snapped back to normal.
"Huh, I mean yes, I would like that."
"Perfect, follow me."
And with that said, Apple led Courtney to her dorm, once again leaving behind the four Rebel girls also known as her first new friends.
"So, now can you guys tell us about Courtney?" Cerise asked.
"We will, let's just wait until she meets Melody." Raven replied.
"Curses, but okay." Cedar responded sadly, and also loyal.
"So, how do you like Ever After High so far?"
Apple and Courtney were now walking through the halls of the school so Courtney can reach her dorm as Apple asked the question; however Courtney did not catch her at first since once again, pupils were staring at Courtney and were wondering what origins she came from, causing the CIT to look down in embarrassment.
"Courtney, did you hear me?" Apple questioned.
"Huh, oh yeah it's okay...I guess." Courtney shyly answered.
Apple placed her hand on her guest's shoulder and smiled warmly.
"Being new is really hard because it takes a lot of time to get use to your new environment, but trust me the more you open up, the more you'll fit in and find the place where you belong." The blue-eyed princess generously winked a wink that Courtney can't help but smile at her.
"Thanks Apple, that was really nice of you."
Apple nodded, "No problem, just don't worry about being shy, I bet everyone is going to love you. Take it from someone who's destined to be "The Fairest of Them All."
Courtney chuckled, "I'll remember that."
"Hexcellent, and look we made it your dorm." The CIT looked up north and saw that Apple was indeed right. The girls happened to made it to Melody Piper's form, the girl that the headmaster said that Courtney would be roommates with once she got herself enroll in Ever After High.
"Do you think she's in there?" Courtney asked her guidance.
"Knowing Melody, she probably is since she's probably making another mix tape with her music; being the daughter of The Pied Piper while being a D.J. will do that to you." Apple explained.
"Right,"
Apple nodded and knocked on Melody's door. "Melody, it's Apple, I have your new roommate, Requested by Headmaster Grimm."
The door then opened up and out came Melody Piper herself. As she saw Courtney, she led out a big smile.
"Hi, you must be Courtney Bailar-Tanets."
"That's me alright; it's hexciting to meet you." Courtney politely spoke to Melody while she tried to get use to her new vocabulary.
"I hope you two make such wonderful roomies and friends," Apple joyfully added in the conversation. "And Courtney dear, if you ever need me, I'm just down the hallway."
"I'll remember that as well Apple thanks." Courtney said a bit vaguely.
"Goodbye now, and have fun at Ever After High Courtney." The blonde princess chirped and walked away; leaving behind Melody and Courtney.
"So, how are you enjoying Ever After High so far?" Melody asked her new roommate.
"It's pretty okay, for the most part." The CIT answered honestly.
"Don't worry; you'll get use to it. I think you're going to love it here."
"I hope so, that's what Apple was trying to tell me when we walked over here."
"Well, that's how Apple is. The daughter of Snow White is always filled with kindness and generosity, especially when a new student comes along."
"That I can see," Courtney ended the first conversation and started a new one. "So, you're a D.J.?"
"You know it; I make the best music ever after in this school!" Melody revealed with both pride and glee.
Courtney felt amazed, "Wow, that's so cool of you."
Melody nodded.
"And since I'm going to be part of The Nutcracker, I can sing and dance!"
"That's awesome, so that means we're both into music?"
"Yep, we are." The CIT Princess grinned.
"Well, no wonder Headmaster Grimm chose me to be your roommate, you're awesome Courtney!"
As she heard the last three words out of The Pied Piper's daughter's mouth, Courtney felt a steam of happiness and love inside of her.
"You really think I'm awesome?" The CIT blushed madly.
Melody nodded with a satisfied smile. "Why would I lie to someone who was interested in music as much as me?" This comment made Court blush and smile even more.
"Why thank you, that's so nice of you to say that."
"No problem Courtney, may I call you that?"
"I allow it, indeed." Eventually, a third voice that Court and Melody both recognized joined them.
"Yoohoo, Courtney where are you?"
"Maddie, is that you?" Both girls said that the same time and laughed.
"My guess is that you meant Maddie today?" The D.J. asked.
"I had, in fact she and Raven both took me in so I can be part of Ever After High."
"We totally did alright!" Maddie herself cheered and she now physically appeared, along with Raven, Cedar, and Cerise.
"And it looks like you just meant Melody, right Courtney?" Raven asked.
Courtney replied back with a nod, "Yes I indeed met her, so that means she's my roommate. Just like what Headmaster said."
"That we can see," Cedar responded.
"And it turns out that we both love music, I create it and she sings and dances to it." Melody gleefully adds on.
"Hey, what did you expect from a character from The Nutcracker?" Raven supplemented and winks at Courtney, who blushes and winks back.
"True that," Melody answered. A short pause happens before Maddie speaks again. "So what are we waiting for now, the chapter isn't over until Courtney meets all of our friends, The Rebels!"
"Maddie's right, Courtney would definitely love to see our friends." Cerise agreed.
"No literally, this chapter is called "Meeting the Rebels," and Courtney has to meet them before the author Debra gets back to writing a chapter about the Total Drama universe." Maddie reveals, once more breaking the fourth wall.
"Total Drama universe?" Cedar questions.
Raven groaned and facepalms. "Maddie, really?"
"I wish she wasn't mad." The CIT whom was from say name complained to herself.
"Anyways, let's just get going now, last one to get to The Game Room is cold tea!" The Mad Hatter's daughter laughs and runs off to the next place.
"Should we all go now," Cedar asks The Rebel Queen.
"Might as well, we were planning on it earlier." Raven turns to face her CIT crush and grins. "So, you and I to The Game Room?" The Rebel kindly requests and takes the hand of Courtney, who again blushes and smiles as she does this.
"Uh, please," The CIT answers, sounding kind of shy towards her crush. She then rotates to Melody.
"You wanna come with us, Melody?"
"I'll meet you guys there once I finish this new song of mine, have fun though."
"Thanks, see you there." Following this, Court, the Rebels and Melody all say goodbye to each other and leaves with her four new friends.
"See I knew it, Courtney would befriend the Rebels, thus making her one!" The Male Narrator enthusiastically speaks.
"Just because you befriend, or even crush on a Rebel doesn't automatically mean you are one," The Female Narrator argues back as the scene now switches over to The Game Room with the other Rebels, and including with them, Royal student Ashlynn Ella, daughter of Cinderella.
"I mean, did you forget who Ashlynn was and who she is dating?" The Female Narrator continues to brag.
"Yeah, but still, Courtney will end up becoming a Rebel," The Male Narrator fights back. "Especially once she and Raven become a,"
"Don't you dare spoil anything, even if the audience is aware of what is going to happen." His female counterpart finishes off the argument, thus starting the new scene. Once the new scene now shows the remaining Rebels in The Game Room, Courtney's group ends up making there on time and the first to see them happens to be Ashlynn.
"Hey guys, it's the others," Ashlynn tells the remaining Rebels, "and they seem to have a guest with them." The daughter of Cinderella reveals too, squirting her eyes as she sees Courtney.
As she spoke, her boyfriend Hunter Huntsman, son of The Huntsman, C.A. Cupid, daughter of Eros, and Poppy O'Hair, daughter of Rapunzel all stop doing whatever they were doing and see that Ashlynn was indeed right.
"Hey guys, over here!" Hunter calls out to the five with cheerfulness. They look over and all, but Courtney do to her shyness show him a smile.
"Hunter, there you guys are!" Raven and her friends run to them and greet each other.
"So, is this the new girl we been hearing about?" Cupid asks happily as a blue bird as she eyes Courtney whose shyness increases.
"Yep, that's her. That's Courtney, Courtney Bailiar-Tanets; our new student." Maddie admits to them. Seeing how new people are looking at her once more, Courtney's blush face returns, but this time spreads faster than ever. Lucky for her, Raven caught her right on time.
"Hey don't be shy, they're wonderful people." Raven comforts her as she places her hand on her shoulder, making The CIT feel more secure.
Taking a deep breath now, Courtney finally gets all of her strength and introduces herself to the other four.
"Hello, it's uh, nice to meet you all." Courtney greets her new friends and curtsies like an actual princess.
"It's nice to meet you too," Hunter greets her back, and takes out his hand. "Hunter Huntsman, son of The Huntsman." Courtney smiles and shakes his hand before he introduces Ashlynn to her. "And this is my girlfriend, Ashlynn Ella, Cinderella's daughter."
"Nice to meet you Courtney," Ashlynn herself greets.
"Nice to meet yourself, Ashlynn."
Cupid then walks her way over to The Princess. "I'm C.A. Cupid, daughter of Eros."
"Why yes, Maddie and Raven told me a bunch about you." Courtney exclaimed.
"Yep, I'm here because it's my goal to help those in need of a happily ever after." The pink-inspired student talked.
"Well lucky for you, you're looking at one who wants one right now." Courtney speaks in her mind again as she eyes Raven, who eyes her back and smiles. Knowing that her crush was doing a good job at introducing herself to her best friends.
"And I'm Poppy O'Hair, daughter of Rapunzel. My twin sister, Holly actually has the Rapunzel destiny since she's older so I'm pretty much a Rebel. I prefer to cut hair rather than throw mine out a tower." Everyone laughed at that comment.
"And speaking of hair, I love yours. It looks gorgeous!" The hair stylist told Courtney with compliments filled in.
"Oh thank you," Courtney peacefully beams.
"No problem, plus the bun totally fits you."
Ashlynn eyes her shoes and grinned wild.
"And your shoes, gray wedges with purple leggings and a dress? A magnificent combo!"
Hearing these respects just made Courtney smile even bigger.
"So what brings you here to Ever After High?" Poppy questions.
"Oh, you know, wonder if I'm a Royal or a Rebel, really." Courtney replies back, trying her best to fit in.
"Well, hopefully you'll enjoy staying here. You seem like a cool person." Ashlynn kindly states.
"I think you all are cool as well as nice people." The CIT lightly flutters a smile at them.
"Hey, we try our best," Cedar puts in the conversation.
"That's what makes us Rebels rule." Cerise added.
Courtney smiles at them once more.
"Though um, technically I'm not really a Rebel," Ashlynn points out, feeling a bit shameful.
"Really, how come?" The CIT questions in a curious tone.
Ashlynn began to explain. "Well, I prefer to be a Royal and follow my destiny since I do get a Happy Ending." She then grabs Hunter's hand and continues on, "but I really want my happy ending with Hunter."
"And since we come from different stories, we're going against our own stories and it's not allowed." Hunter sadly points out.
Courtney gasped. "My gosh,"
"But hey, being Rebels pretty much helped them. They're following their own destines now." Raven grins.
"That is definitely true." Cupid admits to Raven's comment. Now all of the Rebels smile at Hunter and Ashlynn, which makes them smile back.
"Yeah we are," Hunter said.
"And no one is going to stop us, thanks guys." A happy Ashlynn admits to.
"Anything for you two." Maddie chirped.
"They really care about each other, and want to help each other out," Courtney analyzes the characters in her mind. "This was one of the things I was missing back on Total Drama, care. That's what made me a monster; not caring and being selfish. Well Courtney, it's time now for a change. Raven and Maddie agreed to helping you, and they're going to help you change that; once and for all. You will the Rebels the truth, but you will change for sure."
The CIT took a deep breath and spoke again.
"Well, that's really nice that you all care about each other, and you all just want to help each other find your happy endings."
Raven nodded, "Again, that's the reason why we Rebels rule." The Rebel Queen walks up to Courtney, takes a hold of her hand and looks at her lovingly.
"Now, how about we both tell your new friends about yourself?" The Queen suggested as her crush was glowing her rosy pink cheeks.
"Well, here goes nothing," The Princess answered that question in her mind. However, Pinocchio's daughter's voice went off.
"Yeah, I'd been dying all day to get to know you, Courtney. So badly that is caused me stress splinters!" Cedar eagerly spoke.
"Yeah, I wanna know about you too Courtney." Cerise revealed, and suddenly all of the Rebels who just met Courtney began to chirp like birds begging their mom for food.
"Okay okay, I'll tell you guys about me; but on one condition: since I told Raven and Maddie this first, you guys cannot tell anyone else, got this?"
"Wait, you sure about that," Cedar concerned "because I'm cursed not to lie and that can cause me some trouble."
"Cedar, listen here," Raven began to calm down her friend. "Courtney is actually, now do I say it."
"It's okay Raven, I'm the one who's going to tell them about myself, so you don't have to worry."
"You sure,"
"I'm sure," Courtney determines and looks at the Rebels about ready to reveal her secret to them. "Guys, there is a lot you all need to know about me and the first thing to know is that, I'm not from this world."
Everyone looks at her in a confuse way.
"It's true, that is my number one secret all of you guys must know." Courtney tells them in concern and determine at the same time.
"But that's impossible, if you're not from this world, then you must be from the real world instead!" Cerise concludes Courtney's secret, making the Rebels but Raven and Maddie gasp.
"Impossible, how did you get here?" Ashlynn demanded.
"Guys, please calm down." Raven orders as she begins to stand up yo Courtney. "Look it's true, Courtney's not from our world."
The Rebels now feeling calm, curious and interested as well start to listen to Raven.
"How she got here was because of a magic mirror Maddie found from her world."
Maddie started to speak, "It's true, I first saw Courtney through my mirror in my dorm, and when I'd reached my hand through my mirror, I felt a sharp cut; meaning that Courtney's mirror was broken; and when I'd learned about it, the first thing that came to mind was Raven."
"So when Maddie and I were in The Enchanted Forest as she told me what she discovered, Courtney ended up hearing us through her mirror," Raven went into detail.
"Then, once I'd learned that the mirror I'd owned was magic, I ended up going through it and I landed right in the forest, where I thought I was lost until my cries got Maddie and Raven's attention." Courtney explained the story, causing the friends to feel amazed as they were learning about their new friend's story.
"And finally Maddie and I learned that Courtney was someone like me, a person whose role was that of a villain and didn't like the pain she was going through, we knew that the right thing to do was take her in the school, so she can be safe with us and be safe from them." Raven now ended the story on how Courtney got to the fairy tale universe.
"Who's them," Ashlynn asked a bit scared.
"People that harmed me, and people that I didn't want to harm and didn't mean to, but I did anyways." An emotional Courtney admits.
Gazing at her pain now, Hunter gets on his feet now and determinedly steps forwards to her.
"Well, you don't need to worry anymore Courtney, Raven's right we'll make you feel safe."
Courtney glanced at him, "Really?"
"Yeah, yeah we will." Cerise loyally agrees too.
"You honestly seem like a wonderful person," Cedar also mixes in.
"And you're beautiful too," Poppy truthfully says. Noticing that her new friends begin to see her for her and vow to protect her, The CIT Princess started to feel tears in her eyes and let out a bright smile as a tear fell down her face.
"Thank you, thank you so much." Courtney started to let out her tears of joy.
"Anything for you Courtney," Ashlynn responded.
"We vow to make you feel welcome here," Hunter vowed to her.
"You're always welcome to be with us." Cerise winked.
"And we won't leave your side, we'll help you." Raven also winked at her, and Court herself winked back; but her wink was felt with love and happiness.
"Aw, see all the Rebels love her now." The Male Narrator taunted his female rival.
"Honestly, are we really arguing to see if Courtney becomes a Royal or Rebel? I mean, we already know the whole story's plot!" The Female Narrator barked back.
"You're the one who bet the money, so Courtney's a Rebel now. End of discussion."
"Oh, we'll just have to wait and see more to find out then."
AN: Phew, what a load to write about; but hey like I said I love to write this story so much, this proves it lol. And our Rebels of Ever After High now love Courtney, yay! ^^
And let's hope that they'll keep it that way.
Enjoy! Review! Favorite!
