Spells and Louds
Chapter 205: First day in Ever After
(Spellman Estate)
Neil wakes up early in the morning, he looks down to see Gwen is still asleep.
Neil smiles and kisses her forehead. "Keep sleeping love." Neil gets out of bed and heads for the bathroom.
He takes a shower and changes into his a black shirt and brown shorts. He then leaves the room and heads downstairs and then he sees Garchomp get up from the couch. "You do know there is a bed for you in our room right?"
Garchomp just nods and follows him to the kitchen.
There Garchomp helps clean up the place.
Neil then readies some pans for cooking while Garchomp takes out the trash, soon Neil is joined by Courage, who is still sleepy.
"You should sleep some more Courage, you don't have to wake up this early" replied Neil.
Courage just shrugs off what he says and helps with the cooking.
After thirty minutes of cooking, they both place the warm food onto the table and look at the clock, the time was now six.
Which meant that everyone else was waking up, they hear some footsteps coming down and soon the whole family was there.
"Morning guys, breakfast is ready" replied Neil.
"Thanks dad" they all replied.
"Morning honey" said Gwen as she kisses Neil.
"And a good morning to you my darling" replied Neil.
They all eat their breakfast, which is bacon, eggs benedict, orange juice and breakfast sausages.
They finish their breakfast and head back upstairs to get themselves changed.
Neil soon follows, he wanted to wash the dishes but Courage knew that he still has to go to his new job. So Courage insisted in doing the dishes for him.
Neil heads upstairs and he can hear Gwen in the shower.
Neil gets his clothes from the closet and then changes.
He soon comes out of his room and into his office, there he grabs a bag and some paper work.
He then heads downstairs and puts on his shoes.
He hears footsteps coming down, and the others arrive and are impressed at what he's wearing.
Neil's attire: Black shirt inside, dark blue long-sleeved suit with a gold Ever After High logo on the right button near the collar, grey pants with black shoes.
"Wow! You look impressive dad" said Lincoln.
"Looking kinda sharp" said Linka.
"Totes love it" said Leni.
"Just like the headmasters at London" said Luna.
"Or a human version of some rich pony" said Sunset.
"Now that is classy" said Timmy.
Gwen kisses his cheek. "You're just trying to look the part aren't you?"
"You know me, I'm trying to look good for many first day there. And no I am not feeling nervous about it" replied Neil.
"We know dad, you totes got this!" said Leni.
"Just like when you worked for CPS" replied Linka.
"You were the boss of CPS and now you're kinda like the boss for Ever After High" said Luna.
"Magic, Dragons and madness, just like Deathwing" said Sunset.
"Try and keep it cool there dad" said Lincoln.
Neil chuckles. "Thanks for the support kids, this really does help."
They all leave the house, Gwen is taking Lily to have some playtime at the Park with Courage.
Neil doesn't take his car since the Great Gate is right there. Eevryone else takes their rides.
"See you later guys, take care now" said Neil.
"Bye dad!" they all reply.
"Good luck Neil, and keep an eye on Duchess" said Gwen, she then drives off with the others.
"I will" replied Neil.
He turns around only to run into Leon and Sergei, which startles him. "Oh my sweet Jesus! What the hell are you two doing here?"
"We're here to see you head to your new job dude" replied Leon.
"Your first day on the job as a headmaster and I thought being the head of CPS was hard, this will be different you do know that right?" said Sergei.
"Yes I do and I know what I'm doing" replied Neil. "Later guys" He passes through the portal.
"Let's hope there isn't gonna be any trouble" said Leon.
"What I wanna know, is if he can handle planning the big Ever After high events" said Sergei.
"You mean True Hearts day? That is true and difficult to think of" replied Leon.
"And not to mention soon around March will be the Spring Fairest and Thronecoming" said Sergei.
"And somewhere in late April or early May will be the Dragon Games" said Leon.
"He has a lot on his table" said Sergei.
"Yeah" replied Leon.
They both remain silent.
"You know what sucks?" asked Leon.
"What's that?" asked Sergei.
"Last Friday" relief Leon.
Sergei remains silent. "Yeah, that."
What happened last Saturday? NXT had a qualifying Battle Royale match, the winner gets a spot in the Royal Rumble, but both Leon and Sergei were eliminated by Keith Lee.
"Next time brother" said Sergei.
"Yeah, but there is the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royale at WrestleMania" said Leon.
"Oh yeah, that one!" said Sergei. They both head back to the Super Kirov which was nearby.
(The World of Ever After)
Male Narrator: Gather around friends and let us tell you a tale.
Female Narrator: Welcome dear friends to the world of Ever After High, a high school for the teenage sons and daughters of fairytale legends.
Male Narrator: Legends of Heroes and Villains.
Female Narrator: Princes and Princesses.
Male Narrator: And things are turning out just fine, after resent events.
Female Narrator: Indeed and it seems like the new Headmaster is arriving.
Hold it right there you two! This is my story, so stay out of it!
Male Narrator: But we're the narrator's this is our duty to narrate.
Female Narrator: He's right you know.
I don't care, leave it be and let's just read this whole thing through.
Paige: Mom, dad. He's right.
Male Narrator: Oh fine!
Female Narrator: If you insist.
Thanks Paige Brooke! You'll make a great Narrator one day.
Paige: Aww, thank you. Now on with your story good sir!
Giles Grimm is waiting by the Great gate, he then sees it glowing which meant someone was coming through.
And the man he was waiting for has arrived. "Neil, it's good to see you have made it. Any first day jitters?"
"Not really, reminds me of my first days working for CPS" replied Neil.
"Of course" Then Giles sees something has followed Neil. "Is he coming along as well?"
Neil is confused. "What?" He turns around and sees Garchomp also went through. "What the hex are you doing here?"
Garchomp just roars in response. "Okay, I guess he wants to tag along."
They all head straight for the school, while at the same time are greeted by many of the students.
"Now, first off is the daily morning announcements. It starts in less than ten minutes, also you have to head to the Castleteria to check on today's menu, followed by a discussion with Baba Yaga and her adding flavors to food and drinks habit and finally checking on Faybelle's records since her punishment" replied Giles. "See simple."
Neil chuckles and looks at the list. "Giles, this is just child's play to me."
"And might I remind you that Duchess may be your daughter, but that doesn't mean she gets special treatment" said Giles.
"Giles Grimm, I know what I'm doing. I'm not some rich, snobbish Headmaster in a British school, I'm a Spellman and I do what I can to make things right, whatever it takes" replied Neil.
Giles smiles. "Indeed you do" He then checks his watch. "Oh, I have to head to the library and check on some pests that may be causing some trouble."
"Should I be concerned about this?" asked Neil.
"Not at all Neil, you have your obligations for the day and I have mine, and when it's all done then we can discuss the True Hearts day dance with the party planner and the girl in charge" said Giels. "I'll see you at lunch!"
Giles heads off to the library.
Neil is now in the hallway passing by students who are greeting him, he also takes time to greet them as well.
He then spots Hunter trying to get his pet squirrel Pesky out of his locker. "Pesky! Get out of my locker and give me back my satchel!"
Neil goes to the locker and bangs on it, the locker opens and Hunter catches his little companion. "Thank you headmaster Spellman."
"No problem Hunter, you and that squirrel has issues" said Neil.
"Yeah, I still don't know why" said Hunter.
"And he's gone" said Neil.
Hunter notices the Pesky was gone. "Pesky! Get back here!" And he's off.
"Hunter, be careful, no running in the halls!" yelled Neil. He then goes back to walking alongside Garchomp.
Neil then makes small turn as if he's avoiding someone who isn't there, but in truth someone is there. "Hey Kitty."
Kitty Cheshire does appear. "Nice move Headmaster Spellman."
"Thanks" replied Neil.
He then sees his daughter Duchess who closes her locker, the both wave at each other and go their separate ways.
Then he spots Maddie and she spots him. "And a rootly-toot-two to you on such fairest if not fondest of these delightful of fondest of days my good man."
Neil looks at her confused, but then he recalls reading a book on Wonderlandish words. "And a good day to you Miss Hatter."
Neil then sees Baba Yaga approaching him. "Ah, Headmaster Spellman, I heard from Giles that you wanted to see me after classes?"
"Yes I do, we have some things to talk about regarding you and making food taste, sort of better" replied Neil.
"Of course, though I don't know what the trouble about that is" said Baba Yaga.
Neil sighs. "Yup, we have a lot to talk about."
Neil then spots the double doors with the Headmaster name on it. "This is it then" He looks to his Pokemon. "You ready buddy?"
Garchomp nods. "Yeah, me too." They both go in and see it has been renovated.
Thanks to Gyro the room seemed like something Neil is used to, that and because Gyro once appeared in his house office.
The chair was still large and could spin with a soft velvet cushioning, the table has been handmade oak merged with birch and hand crafted to have images of Deathwing and the swarm insignia, the walls have been painted light blue with violet, orange, pink, teal, red and yellow patterns, the patterns were that of Dominion, an electric guitar, Sunset's cutie mark, a flower, a rabbit and a wand, there are two seats in front of the desk also with the same soft cushioning, at the far corner near the window is a glass coffee table with two couches and one big chair, the floor is well carpeted with symbols of the Dragonflights and some small tech has been added as well.
There are some portraits on the wall of great fairytale stories and that of Zerg and Deathwing, on the desk is the family picture, the Royal Defenders and the Swarm.
Neil takes a seat on the chair. "Oh yeah, now this is comfy!"
He then sees the microphone, a mirror pad and a list on the daily announcements.
Throughout the school everyone sees Neil through the mirror net system.
"Greetings and good morning to you all students of Ever After High, This is your Headmaster Neil Spelman with the daily announcements."
"I am sad to say that the field will not be used for any sports activities until we can sort out who the heck has been leaving fudge marks everywhere, investigations are still on going."
"Today's lunch might be changed in case of any mishaps with the cooking."
"The True Hearts day dance is upon us soon, so I suggest you guys get yourselves looking ready or just be yourselves."
"Repairs to the old sacred room of the library will be delayed until the troll strike is down."
"And finally students should now be cautious when going into Wonderland grove, there have been sightings of a Griffin nesting there and we don't want anyone getting hurt or worse."
"That is all, also Faybelle. I'm watching you!"
The mirror screens all turn off.
"Wow! First day and he's already a pro!" said Raven.
"He's doing it pretty well" said Darling.
"A lot of good vibes on him, I just know it" said Ashlynn.
Soon Neil rings the bell, which means first period will soon begin.
He then heads out of the room, he leaves Garchomp behind to guard and he heads for the Castleteria. "Time to get to work!"
(Later after classes, Castleteria)
Neil enters the place and sees all of the students chatting amongst themselves.
He then sees Giles and Evil Queen. "Over here sir" said Evil Queen.
Neil climbs up the stairs and joins them at the table.
"So, how is your first day as Headmaster?" asked Evil Queen.
"Doing quite well actually, I'm doing good and feeling confident" replied Neil.
"That's the spirit Neil, also turns out there was no pest in the library. They were just a bunch of pixies who got lost, again" replied Giles.
"We really should add some maps to that place" said Neil.
"I heard from Raven that Apple White and Maddie are discussing that matter" said Evil Queen.
"Well they are the School presidents after all" said Giles.
They all continue their conversations, until it was time for classes to begin once more.
Soon Neil is now walking through the empty hallways of the school checking on Faybelle's records as of lately. "Well, she is progressing through her punishment, but she still has a long way to end it."
Neil then spots Baba Yaga leaving the faculty room. "Hello Headmaster, I was just about to head top your office."
"Good, then we can talk" said Neil.
(After another school day)
Neil is now headed out of the school with Giles and Garchomp.
"So, how did it go with Madame Yaga?" asked Giles.
"I explained to her that not everyone has her odd taste buds and that she should stop adding gross stuff into food and drinks, many of the students don't appreciate it, so she agreed to stop and just do her own thing in her own walking house" replied Neil.
"Good job Neil, this is turning out to be a wonderful start for you here at Ever After High, you deserve some rest after today" said Giles.
"You sure? There's still the Griffin to deal with in Wonderland Grove and the mystery on who's been leaving fudge in the fields" said Neil.
"No need for you to deal with that Neil. Sally Whitemane is already coming up with negotiations to end the troll strike, the Griffin is currently being moved by the Scarlet Crusade with the help of Ashlynn and Rosabella and Blondie said she was going to run the investigation on the field, along with Ginger and Cerise" replied Giles. "Everything is fine now Spellman."
Neil smiles. "Oka then, but if there is something wrong just call me."
"We will Headmaster, see you tomorrow then" said Giles.
"Later Grimm" Neil and Garchomp head through the portal.
Giles heads back into the school, but he steps onto some fudge. "And I think the suspects are nearby."
(Spellman Estate)
Neil and Garchomp come through and see that Gwen, Lincoln, Link, Timmy and Sunset are home.
"Boy have I got some stuff to tell them" said Neil. He and Garchomp both head back into the house.
Neil was looking forward to tomorrow, another day as the Headmaster of Ever after High.
To be continued …..
Because the end? Is just the Beginning!
And there you have it, the Headmaster nails his first day and things are looking quite bright for the world of Ever After. Leave a review and tell me what you all think.
