An: I got a little typing fever and I couldn't stop. So less than 24 hours later here's another chapter. Everyone was really on it with the reviews so I feel that no one can really complain with this surprise chapter. Descendants should get another chapter before CH. 51, but you never know when the mood strikes. Hope you all enjoy!

Creator of Magic: You're right on with the rose. It plays a big part later. Yeah I hated the doctors too. I wanted her out of there asap. The thing with the permission thing, she was such an extreme case that it could effect everyone in Ever After. The Evil Queen was not one to mess with. So they were taking super huge precaution.

Well, Raven didn't see them kiss, but they were VERY CLOSE to kissing. That's why Donna's eyes just popped right open. She just doesn't want to get into trouble. But I love writing about protective Raven because Matt gets so uncomfortable. He's still that shy boy from the first day of school. He's only really talkative when its with people he comfortable with. He DEFINITETLY is not comfortable with Raven yet. Dexter's just a chill dude. He's really grown from that shy awkward boy he used to be. I just know he would want Donna to be happy like you said.

Maddie already has an inkling, but it'll reveal itself next chapter. And Raven and Dexter would get really uncomfortable I think if they saw Matt and Donna PDA. That's why I'm sticking to the hand holding and occasional hug. Matonna for life!

Sky:I'm glad you're felling better. I think I'll do one shots that are linked together but not exactly a continuation like how this story is written. I laughed at how you wrote- The Girls TM- it really should be trademarked. What do you think the title should be. I really want to know all your thoughts before I start writing!

Mia: The ORIGINAL Matonna shipper. I still remember your first review in last December. You said how you ship Mat and Donna more than her with Brandon. It made me happy that someone was actually enjoying their friendship first romance. It really meant a lot to me. As you write...MATONNA IS LIFE!

Also to answer your question on Wade. He's Maddie's husband. He's an Original character I made for Maddie. I don't think they even mention the White Queen at all in the EAH series all that much. She has a daughter, but I created Wade as her son and rightful heir to the throne because he grew up in Wonderland while his sister was in Ever After.

NymhadoraTonks: Wade and Maddie are pretty carefree. There's some in this chapter, but they'll be highlighted more in next chapter. I really enjoyed writing about Dexter, Ryder, and Matt. I always like touching more on the guys since the girls are more touched on in the series. Matt will defiantly have to get on Raven's good side before telling her about the relationship. Thank you for your compliments.

Thank you all! I'm really loving how fast you guys read these chapters! Please Read and Let me Know What you Think!


Ally folded her arms as she waited outside of her mother's office. Her stomach in knots, she paced back and forth. "Come on, Ally," she said to herself. "This is getting ridiculous. Just go in there and apologize. It wasn't that big of a fight...well...it kinda was. But that shouldn't stop you from talking to your own mother."

"It shouldn't," Apple's voice came from the door. Ally didn't even notice the door opening. A wave of nerves flushed over her as her body tensed. She felt her cheeks heat up in embarrassment. She was hoping Apple didn't hear all that, but it was obvious that she heard every word.

"Can we talk?" Ally straightened herself after taking a deep breath. She didn't look at her mom's face, only the ground. Ally didn't want to get emotional, so she focused on being as cool as stone.

"Of course," Apple grinned as she opened the door wider for her. Ally walked in and saw her father was sitting down in one of the chairs. Apple shut the door and stayed there. Ally walked right in to greet Humphrey.

"Hi dad," Ally said cheerfully. She hadn't seen much of him lately. He had moved to the school, but had been working on the technology for the classes.

"Hey Ally cat," Humphrey stood and hugged his daughter. Ally hadn't been called Ally cat for some time now. She didn't realize how much she would miss it. "Apple was just telling me about what happened."

"Oh? About that..." Ally became nervous as she turned to her mother. Tears were rolling down her cheeks. Her nose was red and her blue eyes were puffy. Ally didn't know what to do. She wasn't expecting her mother to break down like this. She had toughened herself up for this, now she was beginning to crumble.

"I'm so sorry Ally," Apple shook her head. "I thought our image was more important than what you wanted to do. I wanted to bring a good image to our family after my mother's imprisonment, but I only made it worse for us. I'm worse than she was." Humphrey stayed perfectly still. Ally didn't understand why, but then she realized. This wasn't about her, it was about her mother finally bringing down her walls. It made Ally's heart melt.

"Mom," Ally ran to her mother. Apple barely looked up before Ally threw her arms around her mother. Ally felt her own tears beginning to fall as her mother squeezed her tightly. When she pulled away she looked into her mother's blue eyes. "You're not Snow White. You don't just put a smile on your face. You help people. You listen. And you would never force me to do something I didn't want to do. Its my fault that I didn't say anything sooner. I'm sorry for not being honest."

They embraced again. Apple whispered to her daughter. "I'll never keep those kinds of secrets from you ever again. I promise. It was just so hard for me to accept it myself. Its been almost twenty years and I don't think I've wrapped my mind around it. That's why I kept it from you."

"Its okay," Ally let another tear fall. "I wouldn't want to talk about it either. The important thing is that we don't break apart now. I don't ever want to loose you, mom."

"You never will." The two stayed hugging. Humphrey had wrapped his arms around the two. Ally finally felt some peace of mind. She had repaired her broken family. That's all that mattered right now. The three of them.


When Matt laid his eyes on Castle White, a grin curved on his lips. He was home. He felt Donna's hand tighten around his own. He looked down at her to see her eyes on the castle. "Its beautiful." Matt smiled as he looked at her violet eyes. With the reflection of marble, the castle didn't even compare to her eyes. If only everyone had appreciated them the way he did.

Castle White was made of marble. Banners of blue and silver hung off the towers. Its flag raised high of the peak that it looked like it was touching the poisoned sky. Even the spell couldn't bring down the feeling of happiness inside of Matt right now. He had longed to come home for some time now. He looked up to where Maddie, Raven, and Dexter were walked. Seeing Maddie first, the silver guards quickly stepped aside and bowed.

Once they got through the main gate, the garden wrapped around the entire castle. Its bushes were lit up with mint green, purple, and white roses that glowed even in the dark. They were one of Matt's favorite things here. He quickly picked a purple from the bush. As soon as he plucked it, another grew in its place. This time, it came in as white.

Matt gave the rose to Donna. "For milady." He said this in a proper voice.

"I am obliged to receive this beautiful token of affection," Donna mocked his voice. She then used her magic to shrink the rose head and use the stem as a chain for another bracelet other wrist. The two laughed a little. Ryder sighed beside them, which only made them laugh more.

"I miss Catherine," Ryder mumbled as he folded his arms.

"You'll be fine, Romeo," Donna patted her brother's shoulder.

As they approached the big marble steps, the tall white doors were thrown open. Standing there catching his breath, was King Wade Marmoreal. His last name wasn't often used as he was often called King Wade. He was a tall slim man with silver curly hair. Not white, but it had actual grey sparkle to it. His eyes were a pale shade of blue. His skin was compared to Snow White's.

Matt had been told he looked like his father but with his mother's colors. He knew one thing for sure, he acted more like Wade than his crazy mom, but he still loved them both equally. There a a small moment where the group and the king stopped in their tracks. Wade laid his eyes on Maddie, and began to sprint down the stairs. His silvery cape flowing behind him.

Maddie only took a few steps forward. "I'm so glad you're here!" Wade's voice called before he reached his wife. Maddie's smile grew as she held out her arms. He was about a foot taller than her, but he scooped her up and spun her around. Maddie laughed as they embraced. Matt smiled at the sight. When she was set down, Wade locked eyes with his son.

Matt felt Donna push him as he ran to greet his father. He hadn't seen him in what felt like years. "My boy!" Wade wrapped his arms around his son. After the quick embrace, Wade looked him up and down. "I feel as if I haven't seen you in ages."

"I was thinking the same thing," Matt's smile couldn't get any bigger. Wade laughed and put his arm arm across Matt's shoulders.

"You're getting to be as tall as me now. For a while I thought you were going to be Maddie's height. Then I would definitely get a neck ache from looking down all the time." Maddie elbowed him, but then her expression softened as they laughed.

"Raven and Dexter, I haven't seen you since the twins were about this high." He held up his hand to about his hip. "I'm sure they're all grown up now."

"See for yourself." Raven stepped aside to reveal Ryder and Donna standing behind her and Dexter. Matt felt his heart flutter when Donna awkwardly smiled. Ryder gave a small wave.

"Wow, you two have really grown up. My, those violet eyes are really something aren't they. They're not exactly like Raven's, are they?" Matt held his breath after his father said this. That was Wade though. He always noticed the small details.

"No," Raven shook her head. "They're more like my mom's." There was a small silence between them all.

"Oh, well, they are very pretty." Wade grinned at Donna. Her eyes darted back and forth between Wade and Matt. They then settled on the ground when she tucked her bang behind her ear nervously. "Well now that we're all reunited, let's get you all settled in for tonight. You've come a long way." They all walked up the marble stairs and into the castle.

Inside, everything had a silvery touch to its white walls. There were many tapestries of symbols from the kingdom's past. With his father's arm around him, Matt looked back to see Donna wasn't amazed like she was before, but still looking at the ground. Ryder seemed to notice too, but what was he going to say? There was nothing to say that could change her eyes. She would come back to herself soon. It had been a long day for her, and she needed time to relax.

There was nothing more Matt wanted to do but hold her close to him, but he turned back as his father continued the tour.


In the afternoon, the group at Ever After have been called to Apple's office. Ally didn't know what was going on. She was with Catherine in the dorms when both of their mother's called at the same time. Something was up. With what happened in the morning, Ally had forgot about Donna for a little while. She assumed that Matt found what they were looking for. Maybe they were coming back to school.

With this exciting thought in Ally's mind, she and Catherine went quickly to Apple's office. When they opened the door though, all Ally saw was parents. Her own, Catherine's, Derek's and Cerise were all looking back at the two. There was something that dropped in the conversation, because Ally could tell there was something in the air between them.

"What's going on?" Ally asked as she shut the door behind them.

"Just take a seat girls," Apple said in a lower tone. Ally knew something was strange. Her mother never lowered her voice unless it was something of the upmost importance. They sat there in silence until Cassidy and Hyde came in together. Brandon wasn't far behind They questioned the same thing, but were told to sit down too. They all exchanged confused looks, but no words were said.

It was when Derek came in did Ally's heart sink. He didn't question anything. He only locked eyes with Ally and sat down right next to her. Ally didn't know what was going on between them. They were still together, but in some sort of rough patch. Ally couldn't worry about that now. There was something going on. And she was sure they were all about to find out what it is.

"I'm afraid we have good new and bad news," Apple said suddenly.

"Donna got out of the hospital before anything could happen," Briar told the good news. Ally sighed with relief. She was afraid that her mind would be erased.

"So she's coming back?" Catherine asked hopefully.

"No," Humphrey shook his head.

"Raven, Dexter, Matt, Donna, Maddie, and Ryder all left to go to Wonderland," Hopper explained. Hyde raised his eyebrows.

"What's in Wonderland?" Ally asked.

"The Evil Queen's spirit," Apple continued on.

"The raven skull," Ally whispered. No one seemed to hear her but Derek.

"What about Laura?" Cassidy asked. "I'm sure the triplets have something to do with this."

"They all escaped on Friday," Ally shook her head. "They even attacked Donna. I bet they're in Wonderland protecting the raven skull."

"How are we supposed to know where it is?" Brandon asked.

"We do," Daring said in a solemn voice. Lizzie was looking down at the floor. Her eyes wet with brewing tears.

"Mom?" Derek called to her.

"My mother has gone missing from her castle," Lizzie sniffed. Daring placed an arm around his wife's shoulders.

"What about Lily?" Derek practically rose to his feet.

"She's fine," Daring nodded. "She came home yesterday because she wasn't feeling well." Derek sighed with relief. He sat back down in his chair. Ally looked at him. He looked stressed. Ally grabbed his free hand. He didn't flinch or move a muscle. His eyes were still trained on the floor. Ally felt a wave of worry flow away as his fingers interlocked themselves with her own. She then let out the breath she was holding.

"What are we going to do now? Go to Wonderland?" Derek asked after a moment.

"We're going, not you." Briar shook her head. The teens were already giving out their disagreements.

"What?"

"Why?"

"This is our fight too!"

"We know you'd be upset," Apple shook her head. "But its too dangerous. We almost lost you guys last time, we're not letting that happen again."

"But mom we want to help Donna," Ally testified.

"You can help her by staying here and seeing if Laura, Eliza, or Fauna comes back." Apple assured. "We've gone through these battles before. We know what we're doing. We just want you to be safe."

"You guys were only teenagers back then," Catherine fought back. "Mom! I heard so many stories of your crazy adventures, but now you're denying us our own? That's just not fair."

"I don't want anyone else to get hurt," Briar looked at all three of her children. "We're going to Wonderland tomorrow without you and that's final. We're not doing this to be mean, we just want you to be safe." Everyone was silent. Ally bit her tongue, but then she realized something.

"Fine," Ally shrugged as she stood. She let go of Derek's hand before anyone could see. "If you think this is the right thing to do I can't stop you."

"I'm glad you understand," Apple curved her lips up. Ally returned the expression. Derek looked at her confused, but his expression suddenly changed.

"I guess we'll leave you guys to your planning." He nodded. The triplets and Cassidy hesitated, but followed. Ally walked down the hall. She could feel the steps quicken behind her. Then she felt someone grab her arm.

"What are you planning?" Derek's concerned blue eyes stared into her own. Their faces were close. Ally could feel herself blushing under her glasses.

"Not here," Ally shook her head. "Let's go to the lab. I think I can find something." They continued to walk to the towers. No words were said until they were safe behind the secret door.

"Okay," Cassidy split the silence, "Are you going to tell us what going on in that head of yours?" Ally went under the counter and fixed the wiring, then she turned on all of the computers. Everyone else watched her, confused.

"Not yet," Ally sat down at the swivel chair. She began to code the computer.

"Seriously," Derek put a hand on her shoulder. "What are you doing?" She remembered how she fixed it last time. She typed in the date she wanted, then, she hit enter.

On the main screen, appeared the Ever After High security cameras. Accept, this footage was from almost twenty years ago. She watched her younger mother stand at the front gates of Ever After High. The building had not changed one bit except now there was a golden plate about the war and its fighters. The gate opened to reveal Snow White. She was being dragged by two officers. She was struggling.

The teens watched in silence as she got put into the gated carriage. Apple took one last look at her mother before turning away. Raven was standing behind her, and the two friends hugged. Ally didn't pay attention to this though. She paused the video and stood. The five other took a step back as the chair rolled towards them. Ally clicked and dragged the mouse.

She zoomed in on the logo on the carriage. "There it is," Ally said as she sat back down in her chair. "We'll find her in the prison close to the Charming Castle. I didn't even know they had one over there." She looked to Derek, but he only shrugged.

"Wait," Catherine intervened. "We're going to a prison to find your grandma?"

"I think there's something that'll connect it all," Ally turned to the group. "Snow White captured the Evil Queen. Somehow she preserved the raven skull Matt had told me about. I think we need all the facts before we start looking around in Wonderland."

"Ally, no," Hyde folded his arms. "Our parents want us to stay here, and that is what we should do."

"I'm sick of being out of the loop," Ally stood up. "This time we need to take charge."

"But they'll come looking for us," Brandon shook his head.

"That's why we're leaving tonight," Ally put her hands on her hips. "They'll think we're in Wonderland and go there anyway. I think we can find some missing pieces to the puzzle. Once we get the information we can go to Wonderland ourselves. Donna needs us, and I'm not going to just sit around and wait for someone else to do it. You guys in?" She held out her fist.

"I am," Catherine said confidently. "I'm sick of my mom getting to do fun stuff without us."

"Here, here!" Hyde nodded. "I'm in."

"Me too." Cassidy joined. They all looked to Brandon. He was rubbing his wrist.

"Eh, what the hex," Brandon shrugged. "I guess I'm in too." Now all that was left was Derek. His expression was straight and he folded his arms. Ally turned to him and raised her eyebrows.

"Do you really think there's anything she can tell us?" Derek asked.

"Its worth a shot isn't it?" Ally shrugged. After a moment of consideration, Derek nodded.

"Alright, but I'm only coming to protect you guys."

"Whatever," Hyde rolled his eyes. "Just put your hand in." They all put one hand in. Derek shook his head and put his in too.

"Yeah I like this," Cassidy smiled. "Who needs therapy anyway when I've got my own support team right here." They all laughed a little and dropped their hands.

"We have to come up with a plan," Derek stated. "We can't just wing an Ever After High escape. The night briers are too thick."

"Leave that to me," Ally grinned. They were going to really do, Ally would become a warrior once again. And not as a supporter, but as a leader.
