Ever After High was abuzz with good-byes as all the students and the faculty were heading home for the holidays.

"You all are still coming to my place for the Christmas party, right?" asked Briar while standing with Raven and Cerise as they stood at the sleepy princess's car.

"Of course, we've been looking forward to it for months," said Cerise.

"Plus, I'm staying with you for the holidays so where else would I go?" asked Raven. Apple then stormed by them without even a hello.

"Is she still mad that you changed sides?" asked Cerise to Briar.

"Try the fact that most of the school has, even Daring is no longer wanting to be a part of her story," said Briar.

"And that has really hexed her off," she said.

"I just wish she would realize that things are changing and nothing can stop it," said Raven before she and Briar got in the car and left.

"How was your school year, Miss. White?" asked Apple's chauffeur as they too left the school.

"Don't ever mention this horrid place again," said Apple with a lot of hate in her voice.

"Ye… yes ma'am," said the chauffeur who was taken aback by the way the blonde spoke. A while later, Apple was at her mother's castle.

"Apple, sweetheart, it's so good to see you," said Queen Snow White as she hugged her daughter while they stood in the main entrance.

"You as well, mother," said Apple.

"Oh, guess what dear, we were invited to the Christmas party that the Beauty family will be holding," said Queen Snow White.

"Sorry, mother, but I'm not going," said Apple who was trying to hide her disgust for the idea.

"Apple, how can you say that, I'm sure all of your friends will be there too," said Queen Snow White who was shocked by what her daughter had said.

"Friends?" asked Apple, who was no longer hiding her feelings at all. Her expression taking on a mixture of disgust and anger.
