Christina burst through the door of the castle without stopping. Speeding past her wolves who gave chase. Dracula barely flinched when his niece raced past his study on the way to her room. He knew why she was in such a rush. She was throwing a slumber party for her friends. She had work to do he mused. He was allowing her to use the ballroom to host all her friends because other than the yearly race, birthday parties and holidays that room was never used. Back and forth and back and forth she and Draculaura raced as the set up the ballroom for their sleepover.

Two hours later, guests started arriving. Draculaura stood at the door while Christina stood by her mirror. First came Raven, Apple, and Cerise. Downstairs, Frankie, Clawdeen and, Cleo arrived. They inquired about where Christina was and Draculaura explained what Christina was doing. Ashlyn arrived with Blondie, Holly, and Poppy. Downstairs, Lagoona, Ghoulia arrived followed shortly by Spectra and Twyla With everyone there they all filed into the ballroom. Introductions were made and the festivities began.

"Come on Christina. Please please?" Clawdeen pleaded.

"Okay, okay fine,"

"One Monster High makeover coming up,"

Midway through the makeovers, the door burst open and Maddie cartwheeled in.

"CHRISTINA SHADOWFAE I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR YOU,"

"Shadowfae?" Clawdeen questioned.

"My mother's maiden name. It's how I was addressed in school,"

"Ah,"

Yes, it had been quite a shock for most students to learn of Christina's hybrid nature but they hadn't mocked her.

"Maddie, How'd you get here? I closed the portal," Christina asked as the zany girl joined her.

"Sometimes I can do things because I don't know they're impossible yet,"

"Oh, yeah that's right,"

The sleepover was turning out to be a success. Makeovers were given prior to a fashion show that Clawdeen put together herself. Standing on the 'runway' with a hairbrush in her hand as she announced "The New and Improved Christina". All eyes were on Christina as she stepped out from behind the makeshift curtains. Dressed in a black off-the-shoulder top featuring a glittering pair of fangs on the front, ripped legging with a mesh skirt and black ankle boots. She also wore a bat necklace and her charm bracelet which had been added to recently and now featured vampire-themed charms as well. Holly and Poppy had a blast doing her hair, it was pulled back in a high ponytail with purple highlights. The makeup was probably the most jarring thing seeing as Christina really only wore lip gloss.

Now, however, they'd go all out. Dark makeup to go with her much darker look. Smoky eye shadow and deep red lipstick were the first things they all noticed.

Christina walked the runway turning so that the could see the whole outfit before disappearing behind the curtain again.

Christina was frozen as she awaited the reactions of her friends.

Thundering applause.

Clawdeen brought Christina back out so that she could join the audience. Before taking a seat, however, Christina changed back into her nightdress with a snap of her fingers. Gone was her makeup and dark clothing replaced by the much more familiar lavender color she loved so much. After the fashion show wrapped up, the girls gathered in a circle for a game of Truth Or Dare.

"Christina, truth or dare?" Cerise asked with a smirk.

"Truth,"

"Tell us what you were really doing during free period," Draculaura demanded.

"Studying for my driver's test, duh,"

"No, you weren't," Twyla exclaimed.

"So, what were you really doing?" Cleo asked.

Christina's face remained oddly emotionless as she replied: "I was with Shaggy,"

They let the topic die seeing as Christina wasn't going to tell them exactly what she had been doing and well, she was entitled to her privacy. The game continued. Most of the Ever After girls chose truth but leave it to Cerise, Raven and, Maddie to chose dare. Maddie was challenged to do a handstand for five minutes while singing a song backward. Cerise was challenged to a race against Clawdeen throughout the castle as for Raven:

"I dare you to steal the ice cream from the kitchen," Christina smirked.

Raven returned the smirk remembering the game of Truth Or Dare where she challenged Christina to do the same thing. Unlike Christina, Raven was able to complete the dare and soon returned with ice cream. Christina conjured bowels and spoons and soon, everyone was enjoying the frozen treat. After that Christina and Raven put on a magic show with Maddie as their assistant. They performed all the classic magic tricks along with ones they had invented in order to dazzle and shock their friends. When all was said and done they had made each other disappear, pulled a rabbit out of a hat, sawed each other in half, escaped a locked coffin from the inside, told a story that transported their friends all over the world and back again among many other things.

As they exited the makeshift stage, Maddie kept wondering why the Narrator sounded different.

"Why do you sound different?"

Maddie, I'm supposed to be telling a story here,

"But what happened to the other Narrators?"

You're in a different world, Maddie, remember?

"So, you're the Narrator of this world?"

Of Christina's story, yes.

"Maddie, who are you talking to?" Christina questioned as she helped tidy up for bed.

"The Narrator of your story,"

"Me? In a story that doesn't involve hurting someone by cursing them? Yeah, right," Christina laughed.

Well, there's more than one way of hurting someone...

"You mean Christina IS going to hurt someone?" Maddie gasped loudly catching everyone's attention. Clearly, she did not understand that such information isn't supposed to be shared.

": She does this all the time," Raven shrugged as the other girls went back to trading stories.

"Yeah, like I'd actually hurt someone on purpose,"

"Will she do it on purpose?"

Maddie...

"Will she?"

You know I'm not supposed to-

"WILL SHE?"

No, she'd never hurt Shaggy on purpose!

"She's going to hurt her boyfriend?"

Crap, forget I said anything.

So, Maddie, having angered me I mean, the Narrator dropped the subject and joined her friends as Christina turned out the lights and they began to tell stories. The perfect ending to a great sleepover.

...

Okay, that's the end of that. I think it went well save for when I was interrupted by a certain someone. geez, first she does it in the book series then in the cartoons and now, in my story! Anyway, please review!
