Ease Like Sunday Morning
Cerise and Cedar's Dorm
Cerise grumbled as she woke up rubbing the Sandman's sand out of her eyes. Cedar, Maddie, and Raven were still fast asleep as Cerise quietly made her way to her wardrobe to change from her night clothes to some workout wear. Her nightwear was replaced with black biker shorts, a cerise sleeveless hoodie that revealed her muscles, and white tennis shoes. She left a note explaining her absence and left the dorm room for a quick jog in the Enchanted forest.
*YAWN*
Cedar quickly put her hood on as she turned to see Raven getting up.
"Morning, Cerise." Raven greeted as she stretching.
"Morning, Raven." Cerise greeted back. "Had a good night's sleep?"
"Not really." Raven groaned. "I think I had too many slices of pizza."
"Sky rise greet the sun." Maddie said jumping out of her sleeping bag.
"What?" Cerise questioned.
"Morning to you too, Maddie." Raven giggled.
"Cedar, wake up!" Maddie said jumping up and down on Cedar's bed making Cedar jump too.
"AAH! Maddie stop!" Cedar yelped as she hit her bed.
"Thanks again for inviting us to a sleep over!" Maddie said hugging Cedar tightly.
"No problem, and it's a good thing I don't have lungs because your hugging me tightly." Cedar caught herself. " Maddie, I'm so sorry."
"No problem, tight hugs mean more hugs." Maddie answered.
"Well, I'm gonna head out; see you guys later." Cerise said as she waved her friends goodbye.
Cedar, Maddie, and Raven waved as Cerise left the room.
Enchanted Forest
Cerise ran her favorite trail of the Enchanted Forest as fresh dew drops splashed her tennis shoes. The fresh morning air, the scent of flowers everywhere, and her blood pumping with each step. As Cerise ran faster her hood fell off releasing her wolf ears from their hood-like prison, the wind flew past them, and the sounds of nature were more enhanced. If only she could be like this all the time.
*SNAP*
Cerise turned to in the direction of the noise to see a stick in half. Upon closer exceptions Cerise saw a familiar boot print, a strand of red hair, and the scent of incense, moss, and barbeque pork sandwiches with extra bacon.
"Ramona." Cerise hissed as she turned around to see her cousin.
"So you finally decided to let your hood down and flex your ears, huh?" Ramona grin as she bit down into he barbeque pork, extra bacon, and egg breakfast burrito.
"I don't have to answer to you!" Cerise shoved past Ramona.
"Figures." Ramona commented as she licked her fingers of remaining barbeque sauce. "You're a coward !"
Before Ramona knew it she was pinned to a tree unable to move away. When she looked up she was eye-to-eye with Cerise. Her eyes were golden, teeth sharp, and looked ready to kill.
"Never call me a coward for not revealing who my parents are! When I revealed myself to both Hoods and Wolfs they said I was an abomination, a disgrace, a mistake! They tried to kill Raven and me with extreme prejudice! The only reason my family isn't six feet under is because of Grandma! After that my mother was shunned from the village as a traitor all alone while me and dad are at school. And when everyone finds out they'll do the same to me so back off!" Cerise howled as she released Ramona.
Ramona was left speechless as she dropped the remainder of her burrito.
"See ya, cousin." Cerise mimicked Ramone's tone and dashed off.
Ramona just stood there before picking up her burrito and took a bite out of it.
"Five second rule." Ramona grumbled to herself as her once sweet barbeque sauce turned sour.
Faybelle and Bunny's dorm
Bunny was pretty sure she was dreaming (or having a bad dream) when she saw how happy Faybelle was. Sure she'd seen Faybelle happy before, but only after she'd done something mean. Faybelle was humming, skipping, and twirling Spindle around the room. Bunny transformed into her rabbit form trying to sneak out the room.
"Bunny?" Faybelle said in a sing song voice.
"Yes?" Bunny transformed into her human form and asked.
"Did you ever get the feeling things were looking up? Like all your hard work meant something? Like things were coming together?" Faybelle asked.
"I guess." Bunny answered.
Normally Faybelle would ask questions regarding her missing stuff, Spindle, or a cheer routine, never anything personal regarding her.
"Because things are looking up for me: The Future Dark Fairy and most Eviliest Being Ever!" Faybelle cheered. " Everyone will see that I'm way more evil than Raven, that I'm a true villian, and how I respect tradition."
"That's great, Faybelle." Bunny said with a hint of sass, she just wanted to go to the bathroom now.
"Well I'm off to off." Faybelle flew out the window leaving Bunny alone.
"Finally." Bunny said leaving for the bathroom.
Unknown to Bunny, Faybelle was on her daily visit to see the Evil Queen.
Attic
Faybelle spent the first hour telling the Evil Queen her evil deeds of the week, oblivious of how bored the Evil Queen was.
"And last night at Dinner I really pissed off Raven after Apple and Snow -" Faybelle bragged.
"What?" The Evil Queen spatted.
"I just asked a simple question why Apple and Snow get to have such nice bonding experience, despite how fake they are!" Faybelle lied, she knew better than to badmouth Raven in front of her mother despite the mirror.
"They are fake aren't they?" The Evil Queen grinned. "In fact what do we know about them that isn't fake or the others?"
"What do you mean?" Faybelle questioned, curious about what the Evil Queen meant.
"Your classmates harbor many secrets, Faybelle, secrets that would unravel not just the school but the world we know." The Evil Queen answered.
"Like what?" Faybelle was invested as she crept closer to the mirror.
"Got a mirror?" The Evil Queen questioned.
Faybelle pulled out a black compact mirror.
"Hold the mirror up to my eyes child, and what I know will be revealed." The evil Queen instructed Faybelle.
Faybelle flew into the level of the Evil Queens eyes.
"Mind, memory, dreams, thoughts, secrets." The Evil Queen began to chant. " truth, lies, true, false, reveal the unseen and mask the seen!"
Faybelle's mirror began to glow purple as everything the Evil Queen knew was entering the reflective image: Cerise being Mr. Bad Wolf's daughter, Poppy being the next Rapunzel instead of Holly, Briar throwing the Storybook of Legends away, the groups travel to Wonderland, Darling being the White Knight, Apple's fear of drowning, the Jabberwocky incident, and so on many secrets revealed about the students likes, dislikes, and secrets until it ended with Sparrow being a fan of My Minature Horses.
"OW! My hand!" Faybelle groaned as she waved her hand trying to get rid of the burning feeling.
"You'll get over it." The Evil Queen waved it off. "Now place the mirror under Raven's pillow and she'll know everything about everyone at this school."
"Of course." Faybelle saluted the Evil Queen before flying out the window.
"And Faybelle." The Evil Queen said as she began to file her nails.
"Yes?" Faybelle halted in flight.
"Do not look into the mirror." The Evil Queen commanded.
"What? Why?" Faybelle whined.
"Because I said so." Was all the Evil Queen said before disappearing into the mirror.
Faybelle was furious! Raven this, Raven that, what about her? She wants to be evil, continue the family legacy, Raven was just being selfish! Faybelle looked down at her compact mirror remembering what the Evil Queen said.
"One little peek wouldn't hurt." Faybelle said holding the mirror to her face. Suddenly Faybelle's eyes began to glow purple, she was now on her knees withering in pain, and panting fast before she pulled the mirror away from her face. She didn't see everything the mirror had to offer she only saw things: Cerise being Mr. Bad Wolf's daughter, Poppy being the next Rapunzel instead of Holly, Darling being the White Knight, Cedar knowing Cerise's secret, Apple's fear of drowning, and Sparrow being a fan of My Minature Horses. Normally Faybelle would be ecstatic about finding some dirt on her classmates, if she wasn't to busy vomiting from the brain trip.
Faybelle began to fly out the window only to hit the wall first.
"Ha,ha,ha! Stupid fairy girl." The Evil Queen laughed watching the whole thing.
Library
Alister was carrying a handful of books on the topics of: Wonderland, magic travel, and curses. Since there return to Wonderland for the Queen of Heats birthday Alister had spent countless Sundays trying to find a way for him and his friends to return home and break the curse.
"Alister?" A whisper called him.
"Let me guess." Alister pondered before turning around. " Someone obviously calling me for help, volume low because this is a library, and voice nerdy, I suspect: Dexter Charming!"
"Ding-ding you won; now let me hide under the table." Dexter hid.
"What?" Alister was dumbfounded.
"Dexter!" Daring voiced boomed throughout the library followed by some hushes.
"What's going on?" Alister questioned.
"Daring's trying to give me dating advice." Dexter answered in a low whisper.
"Lucky." Alister huffed.
"No, not lucky!" Dexter whispered in a hushed voice. "This whole week he's been giving girl advice, making my eat nasty green smoothies, making workout, taking me to photoshoots, and now he was trying to dye my hair."
"On second thought I take it back." Alister said. "But it would be nice if I had help with my girl problems."
"You mean, Bunny?" Dexter questioned.
" WHO TOLD YOU?!" Alister shouted face turning pink followed by some more hushes.
"Dude, it's kinda obvious you have a crush on her." Dexter answered.
"Does she know?" Alister paniced.
"Doubt it." Dexter answered flatly.
"Good." Alister gave a sigh of relief. "I don't know what I'd do if she found out I like-like her."
"Same here." Dexter accidently let out.
"How would you-OH!" Alister realized it. "So that's why Daring is giving you dating advice."
"Pretty much and I doubt his advice will get 'her' to notice me." Dexter answered.
Then for the next couple of hours the two talk about girl problems, family problems, and destiny problems.
Royal Feast
Everyone gathered into the cafeteria for Sunday's Royal Feast. The tables were topped with linen cloths with golden candelabras illuminating the room, trays were replaced with golden plates, and the food...God, the food was way better on Sundays.
Tonights specials were pastas, stews, and soup dishes: cioppino, chicken noodle soup with chicken shaped noodles, five layered lasagna, and many others also available in vegan options.
"It's good, but I still think my grandpa's pasta is better." Cedar admitted while she slurped her spaghetti noodles getting tomato sauce on her lips.
"Taste good to me." Cerise said slurping her tonkotsu ramen with extra pork belly.
" I think mine goes well with my tea." Maddie said dunking her bowtie pasta in her tea. "What about yours, Raven? Raven?"
Raven was enjoying her cioppino a little too much. The mussels, shrimp, clams, crab meat, cod, and tomato stew blended together nicely, it reminded her of home...home. Gazing outside her window with a scenic view of the sea, sailing with her father, watching the selkies play, listening to sirens songs,collecting seashells, clambakes, hanging out on the family private beach with the Cooklings, Cook, Yop, and her father... she missed them.
"Raven?" Maddie asked again.
"Wha?" Raven gasped.
"I was asking how was your dinner?" Maddie asked.
"It's pretty obvious that she liked it." Cedar pointed out pointing at the empty bowl.
"Well, I'm ready for dessert." Raven wiped any sauce from her face.
A waiter came up to the girls table with a dessert tray.
" What will it be tonight ladies?" The waiter asked the group.
"I'll have a cinnamon roll." Cerise said.
"I'd like a sticky-sweet cake." Cedar asked.
"Chocolate puddin' !" Maddie asked.
"And I'll have a salted caramel sundae." Raven asked.
"Oh, sorry fresh out of salted caramel sundaes." The waiter said after handing the other dessert out.
"What?" Raven's eye began to twitch, she balled her fist, and voiced cracked.
"Yeah, guess everyone was in a caramelly sundaeist mood today." The waiter answered.
"Ok." Raven sighed in defeat. "I'll have a chocolate puddin."
Raven was handed the chocolate puddin as the waiter left.
'How dare they deny you your sweet dessert. It's times for some sweet revenge.' A voice spoke.
The lights turned off in the cafeteria scaring everyone, then the smell of burnt caramel filled the air, and the sounds of crashing, clanking, and grunts were heard, until the lights came back on. Everyone was covered in desserts.
"I'm sticky!" Someone cried.
"There's whipped cream in my hair!" Another yelled.
" This strawberry syrup is gonna stain my gown!" A voice shouted.
"Enough!" Headmaster Grimm stood up covered in maple syrup and jellybeans. "Everyone get cleaned up the royal feast is over."
As everyone exited the cafeteria and headed to their rooms and showers to clean up in an empty hallway a certain princess was enjoying a salted caramel sundae.
Girls Shower
Apple stepped out of the showers in her pink fluffy robe, red bunny slippers, and a apple green shower cap with mini red apple prints humming a song to herself. Apple went to one of the sinks brushing her teeth, unaware Faybelle snuck up behind her.
"Hey, Apple." Apple turned to face Faybelle.
"Oh, hi Faybelle." Apple greeted then went back to brushing her teeth.
"What a disaster dessert was." Faybelle said squeezing the toothpaste on her toothbrush.
"I know I was lucky to finish my apple crumble." Apple went back to brushing her teeth.
"But it won't be nearly as a disaster as swimming in the pool during gym tomorrow." Faybelle said offhandedly.
Apple paused.
"What do you mean?" Apple questioned.
"You didn't hear? Figures you're so high up the totem pole news of the little people don't mean a thing to you." Faybelle commented.
"I care for everyone, Faybelle." Apple said trying to keep her cool.
"Then why haven't you heard of the little girl drowning in a well yesterday?" Faybelle questioned.
"Drowning?" Apple's lips quivered.
"Yeah, poor thing she was chasing dragonflies one minute, then poof she fell down an old unmarked well. It took the parents and cops minutes to find her, but they were too late. I hear the funeral is tomorrow the same time as swim class. kind of a grim thing to think about. huh?" Faybelle questioned.
"I gotta go!" Apple ran out the bathroom as quickly as her bunny slippers would let her.
"That was almost too easy." Faybelle grinned to herself.
Boys Shower
The warm water hit Dexter's skin as he lather his body in mountain air body wash, as he washed the whipped cream out of his hair the shower curtain opened.
"Dexter!" Daring proclaimed in his navy blue bathrobe.
"AAAAHHHH!" Dexter let out a scream.
"Time to talk about personal hygine!" Daring announced.
"AAAAHHHH!" Dexter let out another scream.
"First things first-" Daring began.
"AAAAHHHH!" Dexter let out yet another scream.
"Will you stop screaming this is important!" Daring interrupted.
"Will you both cut it out!" The brothers turned to see Humphrey with a yellow towel around his chest and a light blue towel wrapped around his hair. "It's too late for this nonsense."
As Humphrey left Dexter yanked back the curtain from Daring's hand to cover his privates.
"I'm trying to shower, Daring, can't this wait!" Dexter questioned shaking his body wash bottle.
Daring yanked the body wash out of Dexter's hand.
"Hey!" Dexter protested.
"Hmm, mountain air body wash with extra mountain in it." Daring read the body. "Good choice of body wash bro, but this is even better."
Daring tossed Dexter a bottle with his face on it.
"This is your body wash!" Dexter hissed.
"I know, now hurry up in the shower so I can teach you the art of shaving." Daring pulled out a razer in the shape of a mini sword.
"I already know how to shave my face." Dexter stated in a matter of fact tone.
"Silly bro, this razor isn't for your face." Daring laughed.
"If it's not for my face then what is is for - oh God." Dexter realized.
"That's right; it's for your legs." Daring answered.
"Oh, thank God." Dexter sighed.
"But I'm out of my cream until Thursday, so we'll have to wax." Daring continued.
"What?!" Dexter cried out.
(I love tormenting men with beauty practices! Until men can get monthly periods, beauty treatments are the next best thing...kinda.)
Some Fancy Pants Hotel
Snow White stepped out of the shower in her silky white nightgown with black lace edging and silky gold robe as she made her way out to the balcony. Snow looked out of the view of the village taking in the lights with her glass of adult apple cider in hand.
* RING, RING, RING*
Snow White looked down on to see Apple's image on her phone and quickly answered it.
"Hello, Apple darling." Snow White answered the call.
"Hello, mom." Apple greeted. "I was wondering if we can do some more mother-daughter bonding, maybe during my gym class tomorrow?"
"Is something going on tomorrow in gym class?" Snow White was detecting something in Apple's story.
"It's just we're swimming tomorrow, and Faybelle told me a little girl drowned early this week, and I really don't want to drown!" Apple blurted out as tears ran down her face.
The line was silent for a few seconds before her mother spoke.
" Don't worry Apple, mommy will handle it." Snow White answered.
"You will?" Apple asked wiping away her tears.
" I will. Goodnight, Apple." Snow White said.
"Goodnight, mom." Apple said before hanging up the phone.
Snow White finished the rest of her cider as she dialed a number into her phone.
"Hello, it's me how quickly can you drain a pool?"
Raven and Apple's dorm
Both girls weren't getting any sleep tonight. Apple spent the first two hours playing a game on her mirrorpad until sleep won and she was knocked out. Raven was having a harder falling asleep, it was like a pea was under her bed or something.
Guilt of what she did during the royal feast, it was petty of her to cause so much damage just for not getting a treat, she never felt so childish. It wasn't the first petty thing she's done, but she's been feeling more petty, angry, ev-cranky lately. What was wrong with her?
Raven couldn't take it anymore she went to her minifridge filled with: half a jar of princess pea-butter spread, chocolate bars, a butt load of salted caramels, grape sodas, and a million tea packets curtesy of Maddie. Raven pulled out a mega-sleepy-time tea packet and poured into her favorite purple mug with water and used her magic to boil it. After gulping down the whole thing Raven was out like a light, but she did not meet a peaceful sleep.
Images played in her head like: Cerise being Mr. Bad Wolf's daughter, Poppy being the next Rapunzel instead of Holly, Briar throwing the Storybook of Legends away, the groups travel to Wonderland, Darling being the White Knight, Apple's fear of drowning, the Jabberwocky incident, and so on many secrets revealed about the students likes, dislikes, and secrets until it ended with Sparrow being a fan of My Minature Horses.
Raven tossed and turned as her eyes glowed as more images came into her mind.
Dreams are weird.
Midpoint
Monday morning was ascending upon the school as the briar walls collapsed, the Sun was rising, and students were getting ready for classes. Some were eager to start the day while majority were anxious of what was to come. But no one was as anxious as Apple and Raven.
Apple tried talking to her fellow royal student body that the Enchanted Forest was better than Mirror Beach, but everyone was drawn more to the latter that the former. Also, gym glass was another thing she dread having her body in a large body of water. God, why was her phobia attacking her today.
Raven was already on edge for a while. The rumors of her being evil were spiraling again, her misdeeds were outweighing her good ones, and she was tired so very tired.
Gym Class
Girls Locker Room
Apple was fitting her red swim cap over her head when Briar tapped her shoulder.
"What do you think?" Briar was wearing a hot pink bikini with a ruffle top and a black rose print on the right butt cheek. "I was gonna wear it when we go to Mirror Beach, but what's the point in waiting when I can strut now? "
"It's cute, but will Coach Gingerbreadman allow you to wear it?" Apple questioned as she applied sunscreen to her face.
"What's he gonna do, give me detention for out of school uniform, again!" Briar questioned.
"I hate swim class." Kitty hissed her usual smile replaced with a pout as she put her arm through the bathing suit loop.
"Just pretend you're swimming in cream or something." Cedar said as put on her swim shoes.
"Did that once and my mouth tasted of chlorine for a whole day." Kitty countered.
"I'm gonna pretend I'm swimming in tea." Maddie joined in. "What about you, Raven? Raven?"
Raven at the moment was deep in thought as she stared off into nothing.
"Raven?" Maddie asked again.
"Oh, salted caramel." Raven answered.
"You okay, you look like your about to faint or something?" Cedar asked.
"I'm fine." Raven answered as she walked out to the pool.
Boys Locker Room
"Ow, ow, ow , ow!" Dexter whined with every step he took.
"What's wrong with you?" Hopper asked.
"Daring taught me how to wax my legs last night." Dexter whined.
"Did you wax up your-"
"Nope, just the legs!" Dexter winced in pain.
"Dude, just tell him the truth." Hunter said as he closed her locker closed.
"I've tried, he won't listen." Dexter winced yet again.
"Well you better try harder before he makes you wax further up." Hunter warned.
"Don't remind me." Dexter winced.
Outside
"Alright class first we'll start with the: doggie paddle, then butterfly stroke, and finally we'll dive off the large diving board." Coach Gingerbread Man instructed as he lead the teens to the pool.
Apple was anxious, Raven felt sick, and Dexter was in pain, what a lovely trio. As everyone entered the pool room they gasped the water was gone.
"What happened to my pool?" Coach Gingerbread Man gestured to the pool of empty water. "Alright everyone, change back into your regular clothes and we'll watch a movie about swimming instead."
Everyone who was excited to get in the pool groaned and complain except for Apple and Kitty who were happy not to get wet.
"Yawn." Raven let out a yawn as she made her way to the girls locker room.
"Hey, Raven?" Raven turned to see Dexter.
"Yikes! What happened to your legs?" Raven gasped as she pointed to Dexter's red legs.
"Unimportant." Dexter answered. " Anyway I have a question for you."
"A question for me?" Raven was surprised.
"Yeah, I was wondering about - you see that Sleepless in Seapple movie came out last wee and -I" Dexter began to ramble.
he tried to get from point a to point b, but his nervousness was showing. He tried not to look her in the eyes and turned his eyes to her black tankini and regretted it.
"Anyway, what I mean to say is: would you like to-"
"Hello, brother!" The teens turned to see Daring.
"Daring?" Dexter spattered. "You don't have gym at this time!"
"True, Prof. Knight sent me to get permission from coach to use the field for practice today." Daring answered. "Rocking the tankini, Raven."
"Thanks." Raven said flatly.
Dexter was boiling in fury on the inside as his brother flirted with his crush.
"Looking a bit pale there bro, we'll add tanning to the lesson, see ya." Daring said as he ruffled Dexter's hair and left.
"So anyway -" Dexter tried to resume the previous conversation.
"Queen, Charming, get dress!" Coach Gingerbread Man shouted at the two.
"Well we better get dressed." Raven said as she walked off.
Dexter followed suit.
Home Evilnomics
Baba Yaga was going over how to turn a simple puddle into a hurricane. Raven was barely awake during the whole thing her stomach was hurting like crazy. She tried eating, not eating, meds, but nothing work. Her head felt like it was being bashed on, and she could barely keep her eyes open.
"Raven, focus!" Baba Yaga shouted.
"Yes, Madam Yaga." Raven answered only to be squirted with a water bottle. "Did you just squirt me with your stupid water bootle again?"
Baba Yaga was known for being the toughest witch in the school along with her infamous water bottle that she would squirt students with for misbehavior or good behavior depends who you are.
"Then pay attention." Baba Yaga hissed. "How much sunlight does devil snares require?."
"They really don't need much-" Before Raven could finish her answer she was sprayed again. "You didn't let me finish!"
"You were to slow." Baba Yaga commented.
Raven heard her classmates snicker.
Raven's anger boiled over as she snatched the bottle out of Baba Yaga's hand scratching the witch in the process.
Her classmates gasped no one has ever been that daring (of foolish).
"Miss Queen, return my bottle this instance." Baba Yaga ordered.
"Of course.' Raven answered as she floated in the air.
Raven began chanting as water began to rise from the floor.
"What's happening?" A student cried.
"It's Raven, she's doing this." Another spoke..
Everyone climbed on top of their desk as the water began to rise.
"Raven, stop this at once!" Baba Yaga ordered.
Only for the room to begin to spin it was like being in a washing machine until it stop. The water drained, leaving the desk, students, and Baba Yaga wet. The only thing dry in the room was Raven still holding the water bottle. She squirted Baba Yaga before throwing the bottle to the ground.
"Never squirt me ever again, witch." Raven said as she walked out of the room just in time for the bell to ring for next class.
"Thanks again for helping me with this equipment, Cupid." Blondie said as the girls were carrying boxes filled with wires to the mirrorlab.
"No problem, Blondie." Cupid said as she tried to open the door trying not to drop the boxes.
"I can't believe Raven owned Baba Yaga." A goblin girl said.
"She deserved it after years of squirting us with that water bottle of hers." A witch girl said.
"True." The goblin girl agreed.
"Did you see the look on Baba Yaga's face after what Raven did?" A boy fairy said.
"Yeah, I wish my phone wasn't drench so I could take a pic." A boy elf answered.
"Oh, a scoop." Blondie dashed to the nearest gossip.
"BLONDIE!" Cupid screamed as boxes with countless wires fell on her.
"Cupid, guess what?" Blondie was bouncing on the balls of her feet.
"You abandoned me in my time of need?" Cupid answered dryly.
"Right, sorry." Blondie apologized as she continued. " Anyway, Raven drenched Baba Yaga in a mini hurricane."
"That doesn't sound like Raven at all." Cupid said in a worried tone.
"Apperently Baba Yage squirted Raven with her water bottle too many times and Raven retaliated. I gotta post this -GAH!" Blondie choked.
"Blondie, no!" Cupid said clutching Blondie's shoulder.
"Blondie, yes!" Blondie retaliated.
"Blondie!" Cupid turned Blondie around until they were eye to eye." Remember the last time you jumped to conclusions and hurt Cerise and Lizzie's feelings?"
"Yeah, they wouldn't talk to me for a week." Blondie admitted remembering what happened.
"And what will happen if you blather about Raven?" Cupid asked.
"You're right. I shouldn't use my friends no matter how juicy the gossip is." Blondie admitted defeat.
"Good, now help me clean up this mess." Cupid dragged Blondie to the pile of wires.
Cupid did succeed in stopping Blondie, but sadly that didn't stop the rumors.
(Insert montage of students talking about what happened)
Until...
Princessology
Briar was fast asleep snoring and slobbering as class went on.
" I knew Raven was faking it." Briar heard Duchess's voice. "This whole Rebel thing was a cover from the start."
"I don't know, Duchess." one princess said. "From what I heard Baba Yaga was being a jerk with the water bottle."
"Plus she kinda had it coming, she ruined my new mascara for spraying me last week." Another princess said.
"Deny it all you want, Raven is evil." Duchess sneered.
When Briar wakes up she was gonna have a word with that girl.
Raven and Apple's dorm
Raven was so done with today! Everyone wanted to know what Baba Yaga did to miff her off so badly. God, this is nosey as f-
"Raven?" Raven turned to see Apple.
"What is it, Apple?" Raven asked with venom in her voice.
"I was wondering if you would like to join the princess club and help make decisions for the school?" Apple gave Raven a big smile.
"Why so sudden?" Raven asked arms crossed in front of her chest. "It's almost the end of the school year."
"Well you technically are a princess and leader of the Rebels. It makes sense for you to represent that half of the school." Apple answered in a convincing tone.
"Then why didn't you invite me last year?" Raven asked again tapping her foot impatiently.
"W-well you didn't seem interested in it last year." Apple answered trying to sound convincing.
"You invited Lizzie." Raven remarked.
"She was new princess in need of other royalty." Apple answered.
"You even invited Duchess and she hates you!" Raven remarked.
"Last year I didn't know Duchess would be a royal pain in my a- side!" Apple corrected herself.
Raven grinned she almost got Apple to curse.
"What do you really want, Apple?" Raven asked in a stern voice.
There was no way around it, Apple needed to tell the truth.
"Okay, last Friday the vote for where we'll have our end-of-school-year is between Mirror Beach and the Enchanted Forest. It from everyone I asked it's gonna be a tie and we need one more vote, and I was hoping you would be the final vote." Apple explained.
Raven had been missing home recently and Mirror Beach sounded fun especially after the school year.
"Mirror Beach." Raven answered.
"What? " Apple screamed. "Why?"
"Well the beach does sound nice and it's getting pretty humid now." Raven answered.
" But Raven you can't ;I tried convincing everyone that the Enchanted Forest is way better than Mirror Beach. The Sun, sand, and sea does that really sound fun to you?" Apple explained her case.
"Yes!" Raven stated. "And it's my vote so why does it matter?"
"Because I need you to vote for the Enchanted Forest!" Apple yelled at Raven as she pointed at her roommate.
The room was silent for a moment, neither princess made a peep.
"Of course, you only come to me when you need something" Raven laughed bitterly.
"Raven, what do you mean?" Apple not understanding her friend.
"You only ever come to me when something is in your favor." Raven answered coldly.
" That's not true, I really want you to be in princesses assembly." Apple pleaded.
"What, not enough people in your harem?" Raven shouted.
"Raven!" Apple gasped at such language.
"What'cha gonna do tell your mom I'm a bad influence and I'm turning you into a rebel?" Raven hissed.
"Bad influence? Rebel?" Apple didn't understand.
And then it clicked those were the exact words her mother used.
"You were spying on me and my mother? Raven how could you?" Apple gasped.
"How could I? How could you?" "You were spying on me when you put a tracker on my mirror phone during Legacy Day!" Raven said through her teeth.
"I was trying to be a good roommate and keep you out of trouble." Apple explained herself.
"Maddie was suppose to be my roommate this year, but you got Headmaster Grimm to switch you as my roommate because we're destined to be in the same story and because you said so." Raven pointed out at Apple.
"I thought I was doing the right thing at the time; Briar was suppose to be my roommate if it's any consolation." Apple countered back.
"Oh, and you redecorated my side of the room!" Raven pointed at furniture in spikes, the extra evil mirrors, evil bird crown, and other evil looking furniture.
"If you didn't like it you should've said something I could've redecorated again." Apple protested.
"And hear you say it was rude of me not to accept your so called gift." Raven stated in a mocking tone.
"I was trying to be nice." Apple pleaded her case.
"You were trying to bribe me! But that's not the worse thing you've done Apple White!" Raven began. "You've used me."
"I what?" Apple questioned.
"You've used me!" Raven bellowed at the top of her lungs. " You only got close to me for a story where you're the winner and I'm a loser. After everything I've done to please you, you spat it back in my face. You tell me we're 'friends', but you do things behind my back. Calling me 'selfish' for trying to be happy, but here you are the good guy making my life miserable!"
Apple looked scared she'd never seen Raven looked so livid. Raven's eyes were glowing, fist glowing, objects floating off the ground spinning around like it was a mini-tornado. Raven then crept closer to Apple until they were eye to eye.
"We are not friends Apple White and we never will be, and if being fairest of them all means being 100% selfish than enjoy your destiny." Raven then snapped her fingers and disappeared.
"Raven!" Apple was standing in the mess room all alone. "I better call the woodland critters to clean this up.'
As Apple summoned the woodland critters to clean the dorm room, she was unaware that she was being watched.
"Things are finally coming together." The Evil Queen purred.
Oh wow. that was some heavy stuff! Leave a comment and let me know how I'm doing and what you think will happen next.
The next chapters won't be up for a while since I'm helping my siblings move into their apartments this week. I'm a little worrid since covid-19 hasn't slowed down yet, but I know they'll be safe since their classes are online. Well, stay safe everyone!
