The next morning, Greenly's alarm went off. But she didn't turn it off. Holly yawned as she pulled herself out of bed. "Greenly?" She rubbed her tired eyes and looked all the way up Greenly's matress tower. "Your alarm's going off."

But Greenly didn't respond. Confused, Holly slipped on Greenly's unicorn slippers and flew all the way up to see her roommate. When she saw Greenly, Holly's eyes doubled in size. "GREENLY!" she screeched.

Greenly's entire body was red and drenched in sweat. She panted heavily as she clutched to her chest with one hand and her other hand on her forehead. The princess opened her green eyes, which were bloodshot. "Holly...help me..." she wheezed out. She was weak and in extreme pain.

"Don't worry! I'll get Madame Yaga!" With the power of the winged unicorn slippers, Holly zoomed right of the dorm in her nightgown and hairnet.

Minutes later, Holly returned with Madame Baba Yaga. The witch flew up and was surprised by Greenly's condiion. "My, my." She put on a pair of thick glasses and examined Greenly very closely. "Hmm, hot temperature, bloodshot eyes...any other symptoms, my dear?"

"My chest...it hurts..." Greenly looked like she was about to cry. "Madame Yaga, am I going to be okay?!"

"Fear not. I will personally make sure you won't perish." Waving her hands in the air, Madame Yaga used her magic to gently levitate Greenly off her bed. "First, let's make sure no cursed objects are underneath any of these mattresses." She floated Greenly to Holly's bed. "Ms. O'Hair, we will be using your bed in the meantime."

Holly nodded. "Of course, Madame." She watched Greenly magically tucked into the single mattress bed. "Don't worry, Greenly. If anyone can help you, it's Madame Yaga."

Greenly nodded, too weak to respond with words.


After several minutes of thorough investigating, Madame Yaga found nothing cursed whatsoever in Greenly's bed. "Well, there's nothing wrong with your bed. So, there's clearly something wrong with you." The teacher approached Greenly. "Have you invoked the wrath of any villains? Trolls? Ogres, perhaps?"

Greenly's mind immediately went back to Raoul Sapphire and the way she called him a big ox. "Raoul..." Greenly replied weakly. "Raoul Sapphire."

Holly gasped. "That's right! Greenly called him a big ox!" she practically shouted.

"Louder, Holly. I don't they heard you in Neverland." Greenly said sarcastically, making Holly shrink a little.

Madame Yaga raised an eyebrow. "Raoul Sapphire, you say?"

"Yeah! Plus, I saw him staring at Greenly all day yesterday!" said Holly, shocking both Madame Yaga and Greenly. "He must be targeting her!"

Now Greenly really felt sick. Her mother specifically warned her not to provoke any villains whatsoever and she did just that.

"Well, I'll personally make sure that boy doesn't get away with this!" Madame Yaga growled. She shook her fist in anger. "I remember all to well how much of a menace his father was when he was a student! He was always a pain in my side!" Madame Yaga snapped her fingers and a syringe needle appeared. "But first; I'm going to need a blood sample, Miss Pea."

Greenly nodded. She was surprised by Madame Yaga's good bedside manner as she collected the sample. Despite her wicked apperance and frightening cackle, she was actually very wise and kind. "I'll run some tests and eventually, I'll determine your ailment. In the meantime, you stay in bed and rest."

"Yes, Madame." Greenly was able to muster enough strength to talk.

Madame Yaga turned her attention to Holly. "As for you, Ms. O'Hair..." She snapped her fingers and Holly was dressed in her usual clothes and her hair was perfectly brushed and hanging low to the floor. A note poofed right in the middle of her forehead. "you'll take this tardy note to your teacher when you get to class."

"Yes, Madame. Thank you!" Holly grabbed her backpack in a hurry. "Bye, Greenly! Get well soon!" And she bolted out the door as Madame Yaga poofed away.

Greenly looked up at the ceiling, still feeling horrible. This has never happened to her before. What it some kind of curse? A magic-induced disease? All because of Raoul Sapphire?

Well, whatever was wrong with her, she wasn't going to worry. She knew she was in good hands. Besides, she knew that worrying wasn't going to make her feel any better. Greenly closed her eyes and despite the pain, was able to fall asleep.


By the time Greenly woke up, it was already noon. She felt a little better, but her chest was still hurting. The princess slowly got out of bed and stretched, grateful that she had the strength to walk. She spotted a card on Holly's nightstand. When Greenly picked up the card, her breath was taken away by how beautiful it was. The card was covered with flowers and hearts and inside it said;

As songbirds fly and sing a happy tune,

May you, fair maiden, get well soon!

Signed, your secret admirer.

"A secret admirer?!" Greenly weakly shouted.

The door opened and Holly walked in. "Hi, roomie!" She gasped in awe. "Oh, my fairy godmother! That card! It's so fableous!"

"Yeah! And it's from a secret admirer." said Greenly. "Holly, did you see anyone come by our room?"

Holly shook her head. "Nope, sorry. But how are you feeling?"

Greenly felt her forehead. "Still warm and my chest still hurts. But I'm not half as bad as I was when I woke up." She looked at Holly's bed. "Y'know, this is the first time I slept so low to the ground."

Holly's eyes grew wide. "Really?! First time ever?!"

Greenly nodded. "Yeah, it feels so...weird."

"But...have you ever slept in a sleeing bag at sleepovers?!"

"I've never been to a sleepover. Or had one for that matter." Greenly replied. "Besides, I don't like the idea of...sleeping in a bag." Her face cringed with uncomfort. "All I need is twenty mattresses and I'm set."

"But why twenty?" asked Holly.

Greenly blinked. "Huh. I'm not sure. Y'know, I've always wanted to sleep on than twenty mattresses. Like, maybe thirty. Or more! Maybe even sixty-five!"

"Yikes!" Holly overed her mouth. "That sounds scary!"

"Scary? Why?" Greenly asked, genuine confusion in her voice.

Holly looked around. "Well, because..." She leaned in close. "I'm royally terrified of heights!"

"What?!" Greenly exclaimed before Holly shushed her. "But you're the next Rapunzel!"

"I know! But I spent my whole life in a tower already! I've already seen enough heights!" Holly complained. "And on top of that, doors always seem to lock behind me and I can't get myself out!"

Greenly gasped. "Wait! Doors lock behind you?!"

"All the time! I always ask Blondie to help unlock any door I close!"

Greenly gasped. She knew the windows were locked, but not the dorm room. So how did her secret admirer leave her the roses and card?! "Holly, I have good insincts. And I have a feeling that whoever sent me my gifts is no ordinary person! How coud they have snuck in here when every way in was locked?!"

"Oh my Grimm!" Holly breathed.

Greenly looked at the card again. It was enchantingly beautiful. But who was skilled and savvy enough to sneak into a locked dorm and deliver the perfect gift for an ill princess?!

"Maybe it was a prince!" Holly swooned. "A dashing, handsome prince who used his own wit and keen determination to leave you a token of his affection." She sighed lovingly.

Holly's theory caused Greenly's face to turn red as hope sparkled in her eyes. She put her hands over her wildly beating heart. "Maybe it's Dexter..."

"You like Dexter?!" Holly asked with excitement.

"Please, please, please don't tell anyone!" Greenly begged. "I don't know why I even said that! This stupid fever is messing with my head!"

"Don't worry, Greenly! I promise I won't tell." Holly looked around. "In fact, I have the biggest crush on Daring!" she whispered. "But don't tell anyone! Especially Apple!"

Greenly scoffed. "Daring?" She rolled her eyes. "Holly, you could do so much better, I'd rather date Mr. Badwolf than date Daring!"

"Greenly!" Holly gasped. "How could you say that?! Daring is just so...so..." She fanned herself as she swooned.

"Obnoxious? Vain? Full of himself?" Greenly finished. "Daring can go suck a dragon egg." She hissed in pain as she clutched her chest. It felt like something sharp was stabbing Greenly right in the middle of her heart. "Madame Yaga better find a cure for whatever-after is wrong with me!"

At that moment, a knock came to the door. Holly opened it and saw Apple, Raven, Amber, Ian, and Bentley.

"Hi, Holly. We heard Greenly wasn't feeling well." said Apple, holding a basket of tasty looking red apples. "May we come in?"

"Of course!" Holly welcomed her classmates inside.

"These are for you, Greenly!" Apple gave Greenly the apples. "Don't worry. They're not poisoned." She playfully nudged Raven. "Hopefully not. Right, roomie?"

Raven rolled her eyes.

"Roomie? I thought Maddie was rooming with Raven." said Greenly, confused.

Apple smiled. "Actually, since Raven's such an important part of my story, I asked Headmaster Grimm if we can room together! And he said yes!"

Greenly was blindsided by this. She could see the look of sadness in Raven's eye. Before she could say a word, the stabbing pain returned. Greenly yelled, nearly dropping her apple basket.

"Whoa! Are you okay?!" asked a worried Raven.

"No, she is not." said the voice of Baba Yaga. Everyone turned and saw the sorceress along with Greenly's mother, Queen Pea! Standing tall and slender with her sculpted figure, her wavy brown hair flowed down her back. She wore a gold crown with green jewels, a long-sleeved green ball gown and matching slippers. The queen was unfazed as she saw her daughter's condition.

"Everyone, out!" Baba Yaga ordered.

Not wanting to anger a teacher that can turn you into a snail, all of Greenly's friends left. Only Greenly, her mother, and Baba Yaga remained. The moment the door slammed shut,

"GREENLY!" Queen Pea wailed. She threw her arms around Greenly and started to cry. "Oh, my baby! I'm so sorry you had to go through this!" she sobbed. Tears just poured off her face as she repeatedly kissed Greenly's face. Greenly said nothing as she hugged her mother, stroking her heaving back. She knew how to be poised and regal in front of others.

"Well, it appears you are under no curse, my dear." said Baba Yaga. 'You are undergoing emotion sickness."
