Meanwhile...
"Jackie, do the right thing!" Crystal urged the evil girl. "Give me the staff, give me the Rose of Winter, you do not have the power to control it, you will only get hurt!"
"Pretty words for a pretty useless princess." Jackie smirked darkly.
"Crystal isn't useless!" Cherry glared.
"Words spoken by a true useless team member." Jackie smirked.
Cherry narrowed her eyes firmly.
"A stolen destiny will never give you a happily ever after," Crystal frowned softly at Jackie. "Join me."
"Do the sensible thing, Jackie, and join Crystal." Mo said.
"What if I do?" Jackie scoffed. "I won't, but why should I?"
"You know I have no powers. My dad took them away," Crystal reminded. "I stand before you, humbly, to ask you to turn back. Join me and heal the world and I know that Cherry and her friends can also help. They've told me about adventures where they help people, so they can help you too if you help me."
Everyone in Ever After High watched this, looking hopeful, though Crow had a gut feeling that Jackie wouldn't give up that easily, even if he didn't know her that well yet.
"Well, I'm going to take it! Hyah!" Faybelle called out as she flew by suddenly and snatched the Rose of Winter away from Jackie.
"You idiot!" Mo glared at Faybelle.
"Do you have any idea what you've done, Faybelle?!" Cherry added.
"Yeah! Helping save the day! Duh!" Faybelle replied.
"You've just doomed us all!" Cherry cried out and face-palmed.
"I knew it was a trick!" Jackie hissed as she shot magic from the staff towards Faybelle. "Luckily for me, Sombra taught me how to properly use this thing!"
"Of course he did." Cherry muttered before using her dream-bending powers to make Kimba appear and pounce on Faybelle, both saving her and keeping her in place.
"Ow!" Faybelle yelped.
"I apologize." Kimba said as he accidentally hurt her.
Faybelle glared in annoyance.
"You think you're a big deal?" Jackie soon taunted Crystal as she laughed at the princess. "Well, I can be a big deal too!"
"Speaking of Ice Giants..." Cherry muttered as she knew what was coming as Jackie slammed down the staff to the floor and laughed as she grew in large size before she took a look. "...Kinda reminds me of Ursula." she then commented.
"With how she wants to rule; yeah, she really does seem like Ursula." Mo said.
The pixies watched this, feeling concerned from the balcony as Jackie grew very large and dangerously tall.
"Now it's time to end this story, starting with your parents!" Jackie grinned darkly.
"NO!" Crystal gasped as she ran over to protect her mother before she then suddenly tripped in front of her frozen mother due to her untied laces.
Kimba soon rushed off of Faybelle and went to stand in front of Crystal protectively.
"You wanna join her?!" Jackie laughed mockingly as she charged up the magic staff. "Then share her fate! You too, you overgrown kitty!"
The winter pixies soon rushed over to help protect Crystal as one of them held out a wand while Jackie grinned evilly.
"You won't win because good always triumphs over evil." Kimba told Jackie.
"He's right." Cherry nodded.
"Must you always bring that up even if I have Sombra on my side?" Jackie glared.
"Well, since you bad guys never seem to learn, yes, I guess we should." Cherry retorted.
"My Wand of Winter!" Crystal gasped as she came over to her pixie friends.
"I don't know of that little wand will be enough against the bigger and more powerful staff." Cherry said in concern.
"It will as Crystal's belief and own self power and status should be enough to protect her." Kimba advised Cherry.
"Right, it's not like Sombra will be joining Jackie's side to make it unfair." Mo said.
"You just had to say it." Cherry snarked.
"Hm?" Mo blinked.
"You say stuff like that, it's like asking for it to happen." Cherry rolled her eyes.
However, the Wand of Winter seemed to be overpowering the staff as Cherry let out a small sigh in relief.
"WHAT?!" Jackie snapped.
Crystal soon shot a powerful magic blast at Jackie's face before running off while she still had the chance.
"If that girl's father is like the Jack Frost I knew back in the day, he might be very disappointed..." Mary Ruth shook her head at Jackie's behavior.
"Yeah," Patch nodded before doing a double-take. "Wait... What? You know Jack Frost?" he then looked over as Mary Ruth soon disappeared before shrugging. "Meh... Cherry's grandmother is a weird person."
"Go, Crystal!" Mo cheered
"Patch, if you're here, then that must mean..." Blondie started after seeing Patch.
"Atticus will be here in a minute," Patch replied. "Just go with whatever happens when Atticus and Sombra come back here."
"Well, I'm glad that you guys made it out alright against Northwind and King Sombra." Blondie then said.
"Same." Patch nodded in agreement.
The penguins soon scattered around, looking worried of what might happen next between Jackie and Crystal.
"You wanna play? Let's play!" Crystal smirked at Jackie as she had a new plan before she began to start tying her shoelaces.
"Play? You wanna play? Come back when you can learn how to tie your own-" Jackie said before seeing Crystal able to tie her own shoelaces. "Oh."
"She's been learning." Kimba smirked at Jackie.
"And what are you?" Jackie rolled her eyes at him.
"Kimba the White Tiger," Kimba replied proudly. "The Guardian of Cherry's Imagination and one of the few remaining Celestial Cubs from The Other Realm, but this isn't about me. This is about you and Princess Crystal Winter."
Once Crystal's shoelaces were tied, she suddenly had skates under her boots which made the others cheer for her, looking very proud and happy for her accomplishment. "I learned a whole lot on this adventure." The princess then smirked as she turned her wand into a hockey stick and stomped it onto the floor as magic whooshed all around and turned the throne room into a hockey rink like her parents did before.
"Let's play some hockey!" Kimba called out.
Jackie soon shot magic right out from the staff. Crystal smirked and hopped right out of the way from in front of the hockey net, so it was frozen solid. Jackie glared as she kept trying to shoot Crystal and even stomp on her, but the princess got lucky as she skated away with her hockey stick and even laughed.
"Crystal Winter is on fire!" Blondie smiled as she and the others watched this, even with a few penguins in the audience.
"Hey, Jackie." Crystal smirked at the frost giant as she soon shot some ice hockey pocks at her.
Jackie glared and roared as the hockey pucks began to fly up and hit her.
"If only the Mighty Ducks could see this." Patch chuckled to himself.
Jackie shot another blast from the staff, hitting the icy ground suddenly. Crystal then skated up the ice ramp that came from the ground as the pixies gasped, concerned about her, but they wouldn't need to worry for long. She then hopped right off of the ramp and skated down Jackie's arm and grabbed the magic staff right out of Jackie's hand and soon landed on the ice with both her wand and her father's staff, looking victorious.
"Wahoo! She did it!" Mo cheered.
"NOOOOO!" Jackie cried out as she was slowly going back to normal. "Not fair!" she was then shot through the air and landed on the ice, sliding quickly against one net and soon ended up inside of it, making a buzzer go off.
The penguins then cheered as Jackie was scored like a hockey puck on the rink and she was defeated.
"Goal! What an upset!" Blondie cheered during filming.
Everyone in Ever After High began to cheer for Crystal's victory while Crow and Apple hugged each other and Doyle and Cerise did the same before they seemed to share a warm and happy kiss.
"Nothing could ruin this moment!" Mo cheered.
"Do you just like to tempt fate?" Cherry asked.
"Yeah, I guess we have to stop saying stuff like that." Mo replied.
"Gee, ya think?" Cherry rolled her eyes. "You'd think we'd learn over the years by not saying stuff like that out loud."
Crystal then used her magic to summon an icy stockade around Jackie to add more to her punishment. "You get to stay there until you learn to chillax." she then told the other girl.
"I think that's a perfectly fitting punishment." Patch agreed.
"You might have beaten me, Princess, but you've still got King Sombra to deal with." Jackie said.
"Where is he anyway?" Crystal wondered. "And where's Atticus?"
The double doors soon opened as Northwind was heard laughing like a psychopath as Daring and Rosabella came inside, Daring still carrying Northwind by the tail who was still a mouse.
"Hi, Jackie," Northwind smiled as he was changed back before given his own iced stockade. "Is this part of the plan too? You're so clever!" he then laughed at his sister.
"Ugh..." Jackie just groaned in frustration and annoyance.
Meanwhile...
"Well, Atticus, if you're serious about being beside me, I suppose that's one thing left to do." Sombra smirked.
"Giving me my powers back?" Atticus asked hopefully.
"Soon, my nephew, soon," Sombra replied. "After I do a little special work with a new friend of mine... I'll see you after he and I are done talking."
"And who is this new friend of yours?" Atticus asked.
"You shall see later on." Sombra smirked as he stepped away and disappeared behind the shadows.
"...I don't like the sound of that," Atticus said to himself. "I better go check in on the others."
"So, you think old 'Uncle Sombra' believed you about turning yourself over and surrendering?" Mary Ruth asked as she was right next to him, startling him at first. "And since when is Atticus Fudo a great liar?"
"I may have borrowed some acting lessons from my little sister." Atticus grinned sheepishly.
"That was impressive acting." Mary Ruth said.
"Thanks," Atticus said. "So do you think he'll be back?"
"Are you ever going to truly give up to him?" Mary Ruth retorted as she raised an eyebrow at him.
"...I suppose I'll never be rid of him." Atticus sighed and shook his head.
"Yes, it'll take some time for him to give up on you when your guard is down the most," Mary Ruth advised. "I've seen some of the future from The Horned King's black cauldron that I confiscated from him after his defeat from when I was a teenager."
"You were a teenager during the time of The Horned King?" Atticus asked with wide eyes. "How old are you?"
"Old enough to know it's not polite to ask a woman's age," Mary Ruth smirked with a light chuckle before sighing. "With my granddaughter as the new dream-bender, there is a foe I hope that she or you kids never face that my old friends have told me about that I would like you all to meet someday."
"Good to know." Atticus said.
"If you aren't too busy of course." Mary Ruth then said.
"I guess we shouldn't be." Atticus shrugged.
Eventually, as they came into the throne room everybody joined together, each with a Rose of the Season.
"We can finally cure the Kindness Blindness." Ashlynn smiled at the others.
"That is if a certain fairy doesn't try and fly off with all four roses." Cherry said.
"Oh, come on; would Faybelle really do that?" Patch whispered to Cherry.
"Her mother is the dark fairy who cursed Sleeping Beauty to sleep for a hundred years and she's a sneaky girl, what do YOU think?" Cherry retorted.
Patch let out a small sigh in response to that.
"Don't worry, Cherry; I won't do anything sneaky this time." Faybelle reassured as she held out the Rose of Winter before it flew with the other three roses.
"This time... Right..." Cherry emphasized sardonically.
The four roses soon combined together as a bouquet, but just as Crystal was about to get the Roses of the Seasons, Faybelle flew over and took them.
"I knew it." Cherry glared.
"Faybelle!" Crystal gasped.
"See? What'd I tell ya?" Cherry snarked at Patch.
"I thought she'd choose friendship," Patch said softly in disappointment. "Boy, was I wrong."
"Sorry, gang; I need this more than you." Faybelle smirked as she held the roses.
"Those are to save my parents!" Crystal glared.
"Faybelle, I don't care if you stole those to pay for your 200 years of service; Crystal needs those for a cause that actually matters: saving her parents and putting an end to this winter!" Cherry told Faybelle.
"I need these roses to save me from a fate worse than death!" Faybelle defended. "Hard work!"
Cherry and her friends were about to give a big "selfless and friendship speech" they had learned from the time they spent in Equestria, but then suddenly...
"Faybelle! Think of someone else for once!" Daring soon exclaimed. "This effects ever after all of us."
"Yeah, well, that would be a 'you' problem, not a 'me' problem... Buh-bye!" Faybelle retorted as she soon flew away just in time before Kimba could pounce on her again and she soon flew right outside the castle.
"Faybelle, you can't be that cruel and selfish, even if your mother is The Dark Fairy!" Cherry called out. "We could've been friends, but I guess all you care about is yourself, even if you got mixed up with The Fairy Mobfather!"
"Fairy Mobfather?" Mo asked.
"He and his fairy goons did Faybelle's punishment from Headmaster Grimm and now she has to do 200 years of service for them." Cherry told them.
"And how exactly do you know about this?" Patch asked.
"I've been following Faybelle around lately," Cherry replied. "I had a sneaking suspicion for a while, then I realized I was right, and now she's dug her own grave and now she has to lie in it."
"But how will we cure Crystal's parents?" Ashlynn then asked. "What do we do?"
"Simple. We follow Faybelle," Cherry replied. "She needs some well-deserved cold served and sweet justice that is karma."
"And I know how," Crystal nodded firmly. "Penguins, prepare the royal sleigh! We're gonna follow that fairy." she then proclaimed.
Faybelle is soon seen flying to Ever After High before calling the Fairy Mobfather. "Okay, I got you the Roses of the Seasons." she then told the fairies on her phone.
"We'll meet ya at your locket and yeah, we know where it is." One of the fairies replied.
The other fairies glared as they looked deathly serious. Faybelle then hung up and soon flew into the school and landed in front of her locker with the roses in her hand before she opened up her locker to see she had three visitors inside of her locker.
"This color lip gloss? Not really workin' for ya." One of the fairies smirked as he held her tube of lip gloss as he floated with the other two fairies.
"Give that!" Faybelle complained as she swiped the tube back and slammed her locker door shut as the fairies floated out of it and away. "And get out of my stuff! I got the Roses of the Seasons like I promised. Old magic in exchange for my freedom."
"And how do we know it's the real deal?" One of the fairies asked firmly.
There was then suddenly a rumbling which made them all look over as a polar bear drawn carriage suddenly came into the hallway, showing the group in the sleigh as they looked very unhappy with the young dark fairy.
"Faybelle, give us back the Roses of the Seasons." Mo told the young dark fairy.
"I need those roses to save my parents!" Crystal added as she came off of the sleigh and marched towards Faybelle.
"I-I'm thinkin' this is legit." One of the fairies spoke up.
The other students began to gather around in the hallways to see what was going on.
"I need them to save myself!" Faybelle defended to the others as she held the rose bouquet. "I signed a deal with the mobfairies to take my chores: my detention duty to clean up the school."
"Why don't you just sign a contract from Rumplestiltskin while you're at it in exchange for a temporary problem with a permanent solution that you can't refuse?" Cherry rolled her eyes.
"I don't do that stuff anymore, dearie!" Rumplestiltskin's voice called out.
"Cherry, I didn't even read the fine print!" Faybelle began to cry. "Now I owe them 200 years of service unless I give them these! I'm sorry..."
"There has to be something we can do to get Fauybelle out of this situation without her giving them the Roses of the Seasons." Patch said.
"Sorry, but rules is rules!" Another fairy scoffed. "Either we get the roses or we get 200 years of service!"
Suddenly, the contract appeared through magic.
"What's it gonna be?" The fairy then continued firmly.
"I understand... You felt that you didn't have a choice." Crystal said to Faybelle who was welled up with tears.
"But I do," Daring soon spoke up. "Faybelle, I choose to take your place."
"W-What?" Faybelle asked out of surprise.
"Daring...?" Cherry asked. "Are you sure you wanna do this?"
"I insist on it," Daring replied to her as he looked at Faybelle. "I'll take on your debt to the dark fairies. You'll be free, if you give back the Roses of the Season to Crystal."
"You'd do that for me?" Faybelle smiled softly.
"If the fairy mob will let me." Daring reassured.
"Makes no difference who's doin' the work," The lead fairy shrugged as he flew over to the beast prince. "No sweat off our wings." he then added before making a feathered quill appear from magic.
Daring soon signed his name on the contract.
'I have a good feeling about this.' Patch thought to himself.
"Daring... I don't know what to say..." Cherry said softly.
"It's nothing, really." Daring reassured.
"I just hope this doesn't happen like with Ariel and Ursula." Patch said to Atticus.
"Congratulations!" One of the fairies remarked.
The others then suddenly gasped as the contract disappeared into fireworks after it was signed.
"It's in the small print," Another one of the fairies spoke up. "If someone offers, and of their own free will to take on the work, this contract is void!"
"Wahoo!" Patch cheered.
"You're off the hook." One fairy remarked.
"Nice job, kid!" The lead fairy nodded. "We don't see enough of that these days. Okay... Fairy Mob OUT! Before the Fairy Tale Police Department shows up!" he then proclaimed to the other two fairies and they soon vanished once and for all as a rainbow appeared from their magic.
"Now that that's over with, we can finally go back-GAH!" Daring began to say before yelping out as he glowed suddenly before falling to his knees and Rosabella came beside him as he began to turn back into human again. "Wait! What happened?" he then asked, surprised.
"You finally started acting like a real prince." Rosabella smiled proudly.
"Yep." Cherry nodded.
Apple and Crow smiled proudly at each other as they witnessed that while in the background with the other Ever After High students.
"And so, Daring Charming, learned at last, with a little help from Rosabella Beauty, the powerful magic that comes of thinking of others before self." The male narrator soon said as Daring and Rosabella stood up together and soon smiled at each other as they were going to have their own happy ending together in the near future.
"And the quest to save The King and Queen of Winter ended when the Roses of the Season were combined into a healing bouquet." The female narrator added as Crystal came into her castle and held out her flowers to her sleeping father and frozen mother.
"Destroying, at last, the particle of the Evil Queen's mirror that poisoned them with Kindness Blindness." The male narrator said.
"It is like we were in a bad dream." The Snow King said as he rubbed his right eye.
"But now..." The Snow Queen started.
"But now it's over." Crystal concluded for her mother as she soon came by to reunite with her parents.
The royal Winter family smiled as they shared a group hug after they got their own happy endings.
"Aww~..." Everyone awed at the sight.
"Another perfect happy ending." Atticus remarked.
"Even if Sombra had to come by and ruin everything like he always does." Cherry rolled her eyes.
"Yep." Mo nodded.
"And I can tell the plan for Sombra to give Atticus back his powers didn't exactly work, but he did leave without keeping Crystal from saving the day." Patch said.
"It's gonna be probably a little complicated about my powers coming back." Atticus said bashfully.
"I'll check my spellbook to see if I can help out with that." Mary Ruth smirked as she playfully punched Atticus in the arm without hurting herself.
"Thanks." Atticus smiled.
"Much appreciated." Patch added.
"Dad, we need you to stop this storm." Crystal soon said, about to give her father his magic staff back.
"I've done quite enough already," The Snow King replied as he refused it. "Crystal, you've proven that you are ready to rule. You always have been; I was just too snow-blind to see it."
Crystal smiled as she felt touched before leading her friends out to the balcony of her castle as she went to stop the winter.
Cherry sighed a bit. "I'm gonna miss the colder weather," she then said. "Oh, well... It is summer after all."
"Yep." Mo nodded.
"That means back to the sweltering heat." Patch said.
"Oh... My favorite..." Cherry rolled her eyes.
"This just in, Ever After! Prepare yourself for a change in the weather!" Blondie smiled as she began to film the scene.
Crystal took a deep breath and soon shot magic from the staff right into the sky to change the winter season back into the summer season. The snow and ice began to melt as the summertime was finally being brought back into the world of Ever After and the students began to look excited and happy about that since the blizzard was now over. The servants were all soon changed back to normal thanks to Crystal.
"Wahoo!" Mo cheered.
Everyone then smiled proudly to Crystal as this was the perfect ending to the epic winter of Ever After High, especially for her. Crystal was soon back in her bedroom, tying up her ice-skates as she made the perfect knot and held onto her father's staff which belonged to her now.
"Crystal tried to return the Staff of Winter, but her parents decided it was time for a long, overdue tropical vacation and left Crystal to rule as the Princess of Winter." The female narrator soon concluded as Crystal smiled at the others as she was finally going to be able to take care of herself and her kingdom from now on.
"And what of Jackie Frost and Northwind?" The male narrator asked.
"Well, as punishment for their troublemaking they had to shovel the driveway." The female narrator answered.
Jackie and Northwind grunted as they were shown to be shoveling with as much effort as possible, though it would take a very long time for them to get the snow cleared, especially since this was The Winter Kingdom.
"Is this part of the plan too?" Northwind asked his sister.
"Yeah, Northwind!" Jackie replied sarcastically. "Everything we did was so that we could get to do this! Fun, fun, fun!"
"What a shame of what had to happen to you two~" Sombra smirked as he appeared again, watching them shoveling the snow. "Reduced to a child's most dreaded wintertime chore and you two are meant to be the children of the legendary Jack Frost~"
"What are you doing here, King Sombra?" Jackie Frost glared.
"Yeah, 'cuz we're still shoveling." Northwind said.
"I just thought I'd come and check to see how you were doing." Sombra smirked.
"You helped us all right, but we still lost," Jackie rolled her eyes. "Go back to Equestria."
"Yeah! Take yourself for a ride, pony!" Northwind added.
Jackie glanced at him and he just shrugged in response.
"All right, fine, I'll leave you alone and get to it while I consider special revenge schemes that involve your father." Sombra shrugged as he went to walk away, leaving them with that information to make them think about it if they wanted in or not.
"Wait, what did you have in mind?" Jackie asked.
Sombra smirked as he knew that would interest one of them.
"I'm listening..." Jackie said, leaning over on her shovel. "Anything's better than this, especially being stuck with him..." she then added, pointing sharply over to her dimwitted brother.
Northwind began to laugh childishly as he made snow angels in the ground instead of doing his job since Jackie had stopped the shoveling as well.
"Well, I was thinking of joining up with a friend by the name of Pitch Black," Sombra smirked. "If you come with me, I'll tell you more and you might even be successful this time, especially against my nephew's little friends."
"Great, especially since I can guess your nephew might not have his powers since he didn't try and save the day." Jackie smirked.
"I guess we'll have to see about that," Sombra smirked back. "So, are you in or out on my little offer?"
"King Sombra, you certainly have got yourself a deal." Jackie agreed as she soon held out her hand.
"Great," Sombra nodded as they shook hands on it. "Just come follow me and I'll take you into a brand new adventure."
"Perfect," Jackie smirked before whispering to him. "But can we please leave my brother out of this? He's driving me crazy."
"What brother?" Sombra smirked back.
Northwind looked over.
"Just come this way." Sombra said as a portal appeared.
"Gladly." Jackie grinned as she threw down her shovel and soon went to walk in through the portal.
"Hey! Wait for me." Northwind said, about to join them.
But after Sombra walked through the portal, it closed up, leaving Northwind behind.
"Aww... No fair, Jackie!" he then pouted as he walked away, looking disappointed in being left behind.
That was another story for another day though as Ever After High was shown on a warm and summery day, though there was still snow on the ground.
