"I declare this a day of celebration, a day of fun, a-" Crystal began to tell the Ever After High students.
"SNOW DAY!" The students then beamed as they went back to playing and having fun in the snow while they still had their summer snow day.
"I was going to say an Epic Winter." Crystal smiled as she shot some snow into the air as fireworks.
"An Epic Winter..." Cherry remarked. "Sounds like a fitting name."
"It does a bit." Atticus agreed.
The group then decided to stick around and have a little more fun with the students of Ever After High before they would head back home.
"I used to go to Galaxy High School and I thought I saw it all back there, but I've never had a summer snow day before." Doyle chuckled as he made a snowman with Cerise.
"Thanks to Crystal, this is the very first Summer Snow Day." Cerise smiled.
"I love this." Patch smiled as he enjoyed the snow.
"Not too cold and not too hot." Mo commented.
"Yeah, it's just right," Cherry agreed. "Right, Blondie?"
"Sure is, Cherry." Blondie agreed.
Everyone soon went to enjoy the rest of the Summer Snow Day until it would have to go, along with the visitors to Ever After High.
"So, what'll be for your kids?" Drell asked Mr. Badwolf as he balanced Ambrose on his knee. "Two adventures that go by the names of 'Hoodwinked' or 'Happily N'Ever After'?"
"Hoodwinked." Mr. Badwolf told him.
"Great choice." Drell smirked.
The two then shook hands on it.
"Now... I'll use my wand to make it so when the opportunity comes up," Drell said before looking around. "Hm? Where'd it go?"
Ambrose was heard cooing and giggling as he was teething on his father's magic wand, getting drool everywhere.
"Ah, ah, that's not a toy..." Drell said, taking the wand from his infant son before grimacing. "Ugh... I can't wait until this teething phase is over!"
"At least your son won't chew on the furniture like my daughters did." Mr. Badwolf chuckled.
"That's true." Drell nodded before feeling a dark disturbance.
"Are you okay, old friend?" Mr. Badwolf asked Drell.
"I feel that something wrong is about to happen," Drell replied as he stood up and picked up Ambrose. "I better head back home. If you see Cherry, Atticus, and the others before they head back home, tell them I went home."
"Can do." Mr. Badwolf nodded at the warlock as he went to rush back home with Ambrose in his arms.
"Great, thanks." Drell said while rushing home, though made sure to be very careful since he had his infant son in his arms.
Mr. Badwolf nodded as he let Drell head back home as he then watched the students enjoy themselves, but kept a close and sharp eye on Cerise and Doyle as they made a snowman together.
"I think this is the best Summer Snow Day of my life." Mo smiled.
"It's the only Summer Snow Day of your life." Cherry smirked.
"Still, it's the best." Mo insisted.
"This day is the best." Patch smiled.
"Yep." Atticus nodded.
"It has to end eventually though," Cherry replied. "Though... This isn't the first time it snowed during the summer when we were around."
"Oh?" Doyle asked.
"We met Queen Elsa and Princess Anna in Arendelle," Cherry explained. "It's a very long story."
"Man, you guys get to go everywhere." Doyle remarked.
"That's the life of an adventurer." Atticus said.
"And it never gets boring." Mo smiled.
"Oh, yeah." Patch nodded.
"Easy for you guys to say." Cherry smirked as she lazily made a snowball.
Mary Ruth soon walked over.
"Um, hello, Mrs... Uh... Cherry's grandma." Atticus said to the woman.
"I'm afraid I have to travel all over the realms and make you a special soup that'll give you your powers back before you go to sleep tonight." Mary Ruth told him.
"I understand." Atticus said.
"Hopefully soon you can all meet my old friends," Mary Ruth smirked. "I'm sure you recognize some of them from childhood stories though."
"Grandma... Who do you know...?" Cherry asked suspiciously.
"You'll find out," Mary Ruth smirked as she chuckled, walking off. "Now if you'll excuse me, I need to round up some ingredients to help your friend out."
"Thanks, Grandma," Cherry said thankfully. "I'm sure Atticus appreciates it."
"I sure do." Atticus smiled.
Mary Ruth waved as a random door appeared and she walked into it and it disappeared after she shut the door behind her.
"I'm so glad that Grandma's back in my life." Cherry said to her friends.
"And I'm glad that Aunt Delilah's back in my life, especially for Thorn," Atticus smiled. "I was so glad that we were able to find them and stop The Dark Lord after that time in Witch Academy with Sabrina."
"Well, it looks like our work here is done," Cherry suggested. "I think it's time that we head back home."
"That sounds like a good idea." Mo said.
"Yeah." Patch said.
"I hope that my powers come back soon then." Atticus said.
"They will," Cherry smirked. "Just don't underestimate my grandma."
"Oh, I won't, if she's anything like you or your mom," Atticus smirked back. "This was a great experience though."
"Will we see you guys again?" Raven asked the group.
"We'll see in the future," Cherry reassured. "Meanwhile, make sure that Crow takes good care of Apple."
"I sure will," Raven said playfully. "Even though that won't be a problem."
Crow looked bashful as he overheard his sister. Raven giggled innocently while Crow rolled his eyes playfully.
And so, the adventure group left Ever After High and made it back home where they belonged in the town of Greendale.
"We're home." Mo smiled.
"Yep and with of how we got the cooler weather we needed, I think we can handle this heat." Patch said.
"Oh, yeah." Atticus nodded.
"Guess so." Cherry shrugged.
"Come now, Cherry, it's good to be home." Atticus smiled.
"Yeah, I know," Cherry replied. "Luckily I feel cool enough though from that adventure and the Winter Castle."
"Well, I hope your grandmother comes back soon and hopefully maybe we'll meet those friends of hers." Atticus said.
"Yeah... We'll see..." Cherry just shrugged.
"Well, while we wait for her, let's relax." Mo smiled.
"Yeah." Patch nodded.
The group soon came into the living room of Cherry's house and they decided to put on a movie together called "Immortal Wars". Cleo soon walked over and hopped up in the air before landing in Cherry's lap. Cherry began to pet the young cat's fur, making her purr as they got comfortable after another new adventure together.
"This is nice." Mo smiled.
"Oh, yeah." Patch nodded.
"This should be good." Atticus said.
"Do you guys always have to talk at once like that?" Cherry rolled her eyes.
"What do you mean?" Atticus asked.
"Yeah, we don't talk at once." Mo added.
"We're just hanging out." Patch added.
Cherry had a deadpan look on her face as they continued to watch the movie while they still had the chance.
Mary Ruth was soon at her cauldron, stirring up a brew with the ingredients she had. "Rose petals from The Queen of Hearts' garden, pixie dust from Neverland, a brick from The Yellow Brick Road, a shard from Cinderella's glass slipper, a golden thread from Rumplestiltskin, and leftover apple slices from Snow White," she said to herself as she stirred the ingredients in to make a special soup. "This is going to taste terrible, but it'll be worth it for Atticus."
After stirring all the ingredients to make the soup, Mary Ruth soon smelled the scent of the soup to find out that it was finished.
"This should do the trick for Atticus." Mary Ruth said.
The cauldron soon puffed out some smoke from the top and the concoction began to glow. Mary Ruth then began to spoon up the soup into a bowl and stirred it a little more with her spoon as she went to give the soup to Atticus.
"This movie's kinda stupid..." Cherry rolled her eyes as she sat with the others.
"Yeah... But I can't stop watching it..." Patch replied.
"Same here." Atticus said.
"Why is it that most movies seem like they're kinda stupid, but most people can't stop watching them?" Mo asked.
"Just one of the ways I like to spend an evening," Cherry shrugged. "Especially whenever Thor comes over and we hang out."
"It's so good that you two decided to be friends." Atticus said with a small smile.
"I just feel disturbed that I nearly fell in love with one of Drell's relatives..." Cherry shuddered.
The others rolled their eyes.
"Okay, Atticus, soup's on!" Mary Ruth soon called out, coming downstairs with the glowing bowl. "Now, this might smell like rotten garbage and taste even worse, but it's good and good for you."
"Um, well, okay." Atticus said.
Mary Ruth soon gave Atticus the glowing bowl and once he accepted it Atticus began to start eating the soup and it smelled and tasted as bad as Mary Ruth said it would but he kept eating the rest of the soup. The elderly and retired adult witch soon stepped back to wait to see what would happen. Atticus soon finished up the soup and shakily handed the bowl back.
"How do you feel?" Mary Ruth asked.
"Like my stomach is about to explode." Atticus groaned.
"Good... That means it's working," Mary Ruth nodded. "Now when you go to sleep, you shall rest and dream about having your special gifts back in your system. You can thank me later."
"Great." Atticus smiled.
"Meanwhile... I think I'll check in with my old buddies..." Mary Ruth smirked. "Maybe old Nicky and I can have an arm-wrestling match before his big trip in December."
"Guess we'll see you when we can meet these friends of yours." Mo replied.
"Sounds like it," Mary Ruth nodded as she went to go back home. "Don't stay up too late, kids. I better head back home."
"Don't worry, we won't stay up too late." Atticus told her.
"We promise." Mo nodded.
"See that you don't~" Mary Ruth replied as she closed the door behind her on the way back home.
"So when should we sleep?" Patch asked.
"Probably after this movie is over, though I feel like I've been watching it all day." Cherry said.
Patch nodded in agreement as he soon sat on the floor and looked at the screen. "Maybe this movie would be better if there was a dog in it," he then said before yawning. "Like Thunderbolt or something."
Eventually, the movie ended and they all fell asleep in the living room with the TV on, hoping to have pleasant dreams for the evening, though with Sombra's new plan in mind with his new associate might change that quickly...
Until then, this is The End
