Poisoning Apple

by purplewombat225

What happens when the fairest of them all winds up with the wickedest of them all as the new villain of her story? Apple's fairytale life gets a whole lot more interesting when the son of the evil sorcerer from Swan Lake volunteers to take Raven's place. But is being stuck with Rotbart really as bad as she thinks?

After Apple learned the secret to pranking a die-hard villain, it was a lot easier for her to get back at Rotbart for his little "gifts." Whenever he sent her something that was meant to irk her, she'd respond by "redecorating" his room. And she always did her best to ensure that it was sickeningly cute.

One time she decorated his side of the room with pretty pink bows. Then she filled it with oodles of daisies. And not too long after that, she filled with it humongous teddy bears. And then there was the time she filled it with brightly colored balloons.

And weirdly enough, Apple actually began to look forward to Rotbart's presents. They always presented her with a fun opportunity to get creative and get even with that big meanie! She had never dreamed that pranking could be so much fun.

It didn't take long for Rotbart to start to dread re-entering his room at the end of the school day. There was always a fifty-fifty chance that he's have to deal with something utterly precious and totally irritating and not fun to clean up.

Nevertheless, the prankster in him was impressed with Apple's efforts. Now that she had cracked the code, she was actually pretty good at it. And he had to admire her guts; not every princess would dare to prank a guy like him.

Maybe she's not such a coward after all...He thought. I'll have to step up my game; I can't have a spoiled little princess outdoing me...

So Rotbart moved on from leaving gifts in front of Apple's door to hiding things in her room. Things like scary Jack-in-the-Boxes, realistic rubber cobras, baggies of troll boogers (Apple seriously regretted sending him that) and tiny stink bombs.

Apple retaliated by posting embarrassing signs on his door. Things like: "I'm Rotbart, and I'm a Pretty Princess," "I'm Rotbart and I'm Cute as a Button," "I'm Rotbart and I'm a Sweepy Liddle Baby," and "I'm Rotbart and I Tots Heart Prince Beiber Forever After" (that last sign almost made Rotbart consider turning Apple into chicken fricassee).

And so the "gift exchange" between a princess and a villain turned into an all out prank-war.
