I changed my mind about Raven being the new Phantom Ranger. She will be a Purple Turbo Ranger. I also changed Will's eyes to a warm chocolate brown color. Thanks to CMXB for letting me borrow some things from his Ever After High fanfics again for this.
The next day Will deciding he needed to do something while waiting for the next monster attack applied for a job at Wonderland Haberdasery & Tea Shoppe. He also met Maddie's dad who was gone yesterday to take care of some business while applying. Mr. Hatter hired Will on the spot and even allowed him to leave work if a monster attack (Will and Maddie cleared it with Sen to let Mr. Hatter know about his Ranger status so he can leave with a clear conscious to deal with the monster).
Will was taking orders and delivering them.
"Woah!" Will exclaims as he nearly falls with the items on his tray going up in the air. Will channels some of his Ranger powers and straighten himself up and catch the items perfectly on the tray causing everyone to clap in amazement. Will blushes at the attention and quickly and safely get the items to the table they were ordered for.
"Here you ladies are." Will said placing each princesses' order in front of the ones order each item. The girls blushes and giggles as they said thank you to Will.
"Let me know if you ladies need anything else." Will said. The princesses (who are very beautiful and a few years older than him) nods with a blush as Will quickly leaves, but he hears them saying things about him.
"He so cute!"
"I know right! Especially with him wearing those clothes and cool looking hat!"
"Do you think he's single?"
Will blushes even harder at what they said. He was currently wearing a white dress shirt, a black dress vest, a red bowtie, black dress pants, black dress shoes, and to top it all off was a red fedora with a black band and a couple snow white feathers on the side. He also had an apron on as well.
"Will I need you for something." Mr. Hatter said.
"Yes boss?" Will asks.
"Maddie left one of her schoolbooks here yesterday, so I need you to head to the school and deliver it to her." Mr. Hatter said.
"Sure thing Mr. Hatter." Will said since it gives him the chance to check out the school.
"Thanks, Will and take the rest of the day off. " Mr. Hatter said gratefully as he hands the book to Will and gives him directions to Ever After High. Will takes off his apron and went outside.
"Lightning Cruiser." Will said as he walks to Lightning Cruiser. "Can you take me to Ever After High?"
Lightning Cruiser revs its engines. Will smiles. "Thanks bud."
Will gets in and starts driving to Ever After High. After 10 minutes he arrives at the school.
"So, this is Ever After High?" Will said as he got a good look at the school. Will unbuckles his seatbelt, grabs Maddie's schoolbook, and exits Lightning Cruiser.
"Thanks Lightning Cruiser." Will said gratefully as Lightning Cruiser
"Excuse me young man." An old woman's voice said. Will turns around and sees the old woman. "But what are you doing here?"
"Oh, I um came to deliver Madeline Hatter's schoolbook. She left it at Wonderland Haberdasery & Tea Shoppe yesterday." Will said showing the woman the book.
"I see. Follow me." She said walking before stopping,
"I forgot to introduce myself. I am Madam Baba Yaga one of the faculty advisors and teachers." The woman said introducing herself
Madam Baba Yaga has long wiry grey hair, grey eyes, and peach skin. She wears a lot of jewelry on her body and feathers and bones in her hair. She wears a red scarf around her head, she has a dress on that has patchwork along the skirt, she wears a black vest and has long pale purple nails.
"R-really?" Will questions a little scared as his Babushka told him stories about Baba Yaga. Some good and some bad.
"I see you know of my story." Baba Yaga said believing that's why Will was nervous.
"I did." Will said nodding. "My Babushka told me fairytales regarding you vary; in some myths, you are a villain, in others a much-needed aid to the protagonist."
"I see." Baba said before asking, "Babushka?"
"My Grandmother." Will said. Baba Yaga nods in understanding as she leads Will to the school cafeteria. "By the way are you hungry?"
"I am actually a little bit." Will said since he didn't go on lunch break yet.
"I'll have the Castleteria workers get you something." Baba Yaga said.
"Are you sure? I don't want to be a bother." Will said not wanting to cause Baba Yaga any trouble.
"It's fine since you are delivering a schoolbook to a student. It's the least I can do." Baba Yaga said with a small smile leading Will to the cafeteria. "Would you like a tour of the school afterwards?
"Sure, if it's no trouble." Will said as he is interested in seeing Ever After High since he is thinking about attending it later on. His family would be disappointed in him if he drops out of school.
"I don't have anything to do so giving you a tour would give me something." Baba Yaga said before adding, "Plus I have a feeling you'll be good for the school."
Raven was at Ever After high in the Castleteria sitting on a table, many didn't even want to sit next to her because they were scared of her since they think she is evil like her mother, but she her mind was someplace else, she was just moving her food with her fork thinking about Will and she goes to her fantasy.
In the future everyone was happy except for one person. inside of a fortress was Raven queen, she was now in a dungeon chained up after her destiny was fulfilled, so she was left there alone while Apple White lived with a prince.
Then she hears a roar making her open her eyes as the fortress starts to shake and then it starts to break. The wall in front of her got destroyed and dust covered it. Then the sun shines through the dust, and someone was walking towards her. When the dust vanished, she was able to see it was Will in his Red Turbo Ranger form walking towards her. He was then in front of her and kneels before her. He then grabs the chains and breaks them. She now had tears of joy and she sees Will pick her up bridal style as he then takes her outside and they saw Lightning Cruiser waiting for them. she was so happy this was what she wanted.
Will looks at her and says, "We'll decide our own future." Raven cries and smiles in joy.
Back in the real-world Raven was still daydreaming, then Maddie appears next to her surprising Raven.
"Hi Raven." Maddie said.
"Oh, hi Maddie, you scared me." Raven said.
"Oh sorry." Maddie said while giggling. "So, what are you doing?"
"Oh nothing." Raven said.
Then they see the Apple and Daring come in with most of the students cheering for them, this made Raven frown.
"Raven! Maddie!" Will calls out as he enters the Castleteria causing everyone to look at him in shock.
"Hey Will!" Raven and Maddie exclaims happy to see their friend. Will went to them and hands Maddie her Schoolbook. "You forgot this yesterday at the shop."
"Thanks, Will." Maddie said gratefully as she hugs Will.
"No problem." Will said nervously as he hugs her back. Maddie lets go and Raven (who was slightly jealous Maddie hugged him) hugs him next causing Will to hug her back. Everyone was surprised that Raven Queen who almost every thought of evil was friendly with this guy with some of the girls in the Castleteria blushing and squealing at Will's appearance.
"He's so handsome."
"Is he a new student?"
Cerise and Cedar sees him, and Cerise says, "Wow, he's quite handsome."
"I cannot tell a lie but yes I agree." Cedar said.
Lizzie Hearts sees him too and says, "Well he's certainly a handsome one to win a princess heart but if anyone dares to take his OFF WITH THEIR HEARDS."
Apple was surprised to see him being friendly with Raven and asks, "But why is he with Raven?" she then sees him sit in the chair (after grabbing a tray) facing Raven and Maddie. So, she decides to find out what's going on.
Will was eating and talking with the girls when he hears a female voice say, "Excuse me."
Will turns around and sees Apple White and he nervously asks, "Yes?"
"I am Apple White." The girl said introducing herself. "Who are you and what is your relationship with Raven?"
"I am William Blake and Raven, and Maddie are my friends." Will said honestly. Everyone who believed Raven is evil was shocked and surprised he actually call her his friend. She must be using an evil spell to ensnare his mind.
"I see." Apple said. "Are you by chance a new student here?"
"No, I'm not." Will said. "I came here to drop off a schoolbook Maddie left behind at Wonderland Haberdasery & Tea Shoppe."
"Then why are you eating lunch here?" Apple asks.
"Madam Baba Yaga asked me if I ate lunch yet and I didn't yet so she said I can eat here. Afterwards she said she'll take me on a tour." Will said.
"Really?" Apple asks surprised. Will shrugs.
"Yeah. Kinda surprised me too, but I am thinking of attending here later on so a tour would help." Will said.
"Well, I hope you do attend." Apple said.
"Might be hard since I don't have a so destiny, so I don't know if I'll even be accepted." Will said with distaste at the word destiny catching Apple's, Raven's, and Maddie's attention.
"Why do you speak of destinies like that?" Apple said a little upset.
"Simple. I don't believe in destiny or in fate." Will said causing everyone to gasp.
"How can you not believe?" Apple said shocked and upset.
"Simple. If there was such a thing as destiny or fate, then there is no reason for free will or thought." Will said.
"What do you mean?" Raven asks wanting Will to expend on what he means hoping it might help her break free from her destiny.
"Believing in some force controlling us like puppets on strings never being able to choose what we want is horrify." Will said shuddering at the thought of it.
"What about never worrying about the future because it's not uncertain?" Apple said trying to get Will see reason.
"Nothing is set in stone because the future is always changing. That's what makes it scary but fun because you'll never know what can happen next." Will said. "Worrying about what comes next is always frightful but facing whatever comes next is a part of what being brave means. Scared half to death but continuing to stand your ground."
