Revised 5/3/20
Normal pov
Everything was really starting move along for Andrea now that two people had come to see her on her first day. Word was spreading around the school now that both Ashlynn and Cedar were both singing her praises. An ever bigger shock came to everyone when they found out that Cedar could hide the truth from the rest of her peers now.
"I still can't tell a lie but Andrea has made it so that my bracelet could help me keep some things to just myself!" Cedar explained happily.
This of course caused for more people to wonder more about the demi-goddess in question. Was what Andrea doing good or would she end up causing a mess? One student though was always up for a challenge, always ready to be daring so he decided the next day he too would go see Andrea to talk about his problems.
Andrea Pov
After how great the first day turned out to be. I was so ready to help the next group of students, even before I got to my office there were students greeting me. Which was a nice change of pace, C.A. told me that Ashlynn and Cedar can't stop talking about me to anyone who'd listen. Apparently it was a really good thing that I worked with these girls first because they both were on middle grounds with everyone. C.A.'s words not mine, so right now I'm in the office and it just changed into a room full of mirrors? What kind of person needs to be able to see themselves this much!?
Daring Pov
Keeping things to himself was something that he had been doing for a long time not that anyone really knew about it. But when he had walked out on Apple's story without so much as an explanation for the real reason he knew there would be some backlash; even though it hadn't happen right away he was not prepared for how hard he did ended up falling from the public eye. It was hard to deal with at first but eventually he got over it after all he didn't want those so called fan girls attention anymore he just wanted hers.
Daring wasn't as nervous or wary as the two students who came to the office before him after all from what he heard, Andrea really wasn't evil so why not talk about the real reason he left Apple's story with her. He knew it hurt his brother and sister's feelings whenever he avoided their questioning of his decision. But this step was needed so that maybe he could one day talk to them about.
Daring approached Andrea's office with ease he hadn't felt this sure about something since he decided to walk out on Apple's story. Added to the fact that the room was full of mirrors was a bonus.
"Hello, I'm Andrea." she says as she holds out her hand for a shake.
"Daring Charming, pleasure." Daring says while dramatically kissing her hand and giving Andrea his most charming smile.
"Cute," Andrea says while rolling her eyes. "Take a seat right here, talk whenever you're ready." She said while gesturing to the seat.
"I guess, I should start with why I walked out on my story?" Daring began.
"If you wish to discuss it then you can, by the way what story was that Daring?" Andrea asked. "I don't believe you mentioned it before?"
"Oh! Right, well I was supposed to be the prince in Apple's story, until I found out about some...things." Daring's grim expression showed that whatever it was he found out really creeped him out.
"And what did you find out that caused you to want to leave?" Andrea asked.
"The prince in the story in a nutshell is supposed to be a pedophile and also a necrophilia to top things off." Daring began to explain.
"Whoa Daring that is...that is some serious...I can't even say. How on earth did you even find this out?" Now Andrea was a bit creeped out.
"It started with Thronecoming, at first I hadn't really thought or cared when Cedar told the school that The Story Book of Legends was a fake, but then later on when I was talking to my brother Dexter he said something that stuck with me for a while." Daring continued on.
"And what did he say Daring?" Andrea asked
"He asked me what I would do if I ever found out that I really wasn't supposed to be the prince in Apple's story. At first I thought nothing of it, pretty much my whole life I was told that I would be the prince in Apple's story; but eventually I kept going back to what Dexter said especially since I started to have feelings for someone else; so I decided to do so research on the Snow White story." Daring answered.
"I'm guessing whatever you found out from that research didn't make things any better." Andrea stated.
"No, not at all the story and I mean in the real original story first of all Snow White is supposed to be seven years old! Can you believe that seven years old when the evil queen who is her stepmother by the way decides to kill her because the magic mirror said Snow White was the fairest in the land at SEVEN YEARS OLD?" Daring exclaimed now getting up and pacing back and forth.
"But the worse part for me is about the prince in the story, when the evil queen poisons Snow White with the apple she's supposed to be dead not asleep but DEAD! The prince who comes upon the seven dwarfs as a grown man who falls in love with a seven year old's dead body, because as I explained before everyone thinks she's dead; who asks to take the dead body to do godmother only knows what with it and when his servants are moving Snow White a piece of the poison apple falls out of her mouth and that's how she wakes up. It's not 'true loves kiss' it's some creepy prince asking to marry a seven year old who just so happened to come back from the dead." Daring concluded.
"Well Daring that was...a story I guess, I can see why that would creep you out but that's not how the story goes anymore so why did you walk away from it?" Andrea question on.
Daring lets out a sigh. "All my life I've been told I was to be the prince in Apple's story when all I really ever wanted to do was be a hero and have some big heroic task that only I could do. I thought that was what I would be doing in Apple's story but that's not true at all. And I realized that as much as I cared for Apple as a friend it wasn't enough to live out some lie. And on top of that it made me realize how much our society has been lied to."
"Lied how Daring?" Andrea asked, she had her own personal theories but she was curious to hear what Daring had come up with.
"The real original story of Snow White isn't what is played out now so that means it was rewritten at some point. Everything that the rebels are fighting for is justified now because clearly someone decided to revamp our stories, so who's to say that we can't follow our own paths and fall in love with...anyways clearly we were wronged at some point so I couldn't stay knowing that I didn't need too." Daring explained.
"That's good for you Daring, but did you ever share any of this with your fellow peers? You know so that they would also be more informed?" Andrea asked him.
"I thought about it, I really did I still do but...there is so much fear and unrest I just don't think anyone is ready to hear that just yet. Even with this rebellion going on it just isn't the right time for it. It wasn't an easy thing to decide to do but clearly I have to wait for the right moment." Daring explained.
"That's very wise of you Daring you sound just like a king." Andrea says while smiling at him.
"Well I am supposed to be a King one day people seem to forget that I'm not just training myself to be a hero, but to also one day become the next King Charming I mean how else would I have gotten my father to agree to let me walk out of a popular story." Daring says with a shrug.
"How did you mange that by the way if you don't mind me asking?" Andrea asked.
"Its simple Andrea really, the reason why everyone thought I was the prince in Apple's story was because the Headmaster said I was so I just told my father that it might be best for our family name if I stepped out of that role so that the most famous Charming's of Book End don't end up looking foolish." Daring proclaimed.
"And that worked?" Andrea gasped.
"Of course, there is nothing my father cares more about then making sure our family never be made to look like fools for any reason no story no matter how popular could ever change that. I just played with what I knew to be able to get what I really wanted. Besides I also made an agreement that if I ended up having to follow the story I would but I also stressed to my father that in times like theses it would probably make our family look better if we made stories that aren't as popular more loved then even the princess stories. Since for some reason right now people tend to be moving away from those stories." Daring said in a matter of fact way.
"Well Daring since everything seems to be in order I guess there is nothing left to talk about." Andrea stated.
"Actually Andrea, there is another thing." Daring says while rubbing the back of his neck and blushing.
"Oh and what's that?" Andrea asked.
"See, ever since Thronecoming a lot of things have changed for me, and while it has mostly been for the better there is still something I haven't been able to figure out how to do yet." Daring began sheepishly.
"Alright Charming spit it out beating around the bush is not going to get anything done." Andrea told him.
"It's just that, I've really been taken by this girl and well...I don't have a clue as to how to get her to like me back." Daring finally lets out shyly looking away from Andrea.
"You! Please Daring I'm sure you could get this girl to like you back if you really wanted too." Andrea says while holding back a laugh.
"Before yes I would have whole heartily agreed with you but this girl is worlds above anyone I've ever met." Daring says with a sigh.
"And how so Daring?" Andrea asked.
"Well first off she's an awesome athlete, so kind, witty, confident but mostly when she is playing sports, other times she's quiet keeps mostly to herself and so the most perfect girl for me I knew since Thronecoming when I rejected those other girls and only danced with her that night." Daring says with a far away look in his eyes.
"And does this girl have a name Mr. Charming?" Andrea asked with one eyebrow raised up.
"Cerise Hood, my godmother does she make the fire in me blaze even hotter." Daring says while smiling.
"You ever just thought about telling her all this?" Andrea says while rolling her eyes who did he think she was C.A. Cupid!
Daring lets out another sigh. "Like a said before Andrea, to me Cerise is on a different level then the other girls at this school so I can't go about this the usually way."
"Do you two have any common ground?" Andrea asked.
"What do you mean by common ground? I don't understand?" Daring asked confused.
"Is there anything that you both like to do that you guys could do together? You know common interests and what not?" Andrea explained.
"Sports! Cerise and I both love playing sports, in fact bookball was one of the reasons I started liking her in the first place!" Daring proclaimed happily.
"Well then start with that and work your way towards a relationship then, but next time Daring just ask my cousin for help in that department its why she's here in the first place." Andrea says while shaking her head at him.
"I thank you kindly Andrea you really are the fairest then any of us could have hoped for. Good day." Daring says while taking a bow and leaving the room.
Andrea Pov
I swear the more things I learn from these students the more crazy stuff comes up. It really must have been hard on Daring when he first found out the true nature of Snow White but he seems to be getting pasted it. And that thing with Cerise Hood 'she makes the fire in me blaze even hotter' how cute. Reminds me of...wait a minute! That's it I'm going to test the students I think I've waited long enough to find out if they are benders I mean it's only been two days…two days is long enough!
Daring Pov
Walking through the enchanted forest was never really my thing, no I'd much rather be out on the stadium working on my dragon slaying in the bright sun light. I don't just like being in the sun so that everyone can see me, for as long as I could remember being out in the sun always fueled me for some reason and I could never get enough of it. But today was the day that I would begin working on getting Cerise to be with me, so here I am in the enchanted forest looking for her since I know for a fact that she likes being out here.
Daring had been looking for Cerise in the forest for about ten minutes before he found her having a picnic with Carmine. Taking a deep breathe he approaches the picnic blanket.
"Cerise." Daring calls out.
"Oh, hey Daring." Cerise says surprised to see Daring in the forest.
"So…ah enjoying your picnic?" Daring asked while rubbing the back of his neck nervously.
"Ah, yeah I guess, what are you doing here?" Cerise asked awkwardly.
"Well I decided to you know take a walk after I want to see Andrea." Daring explained while taking a seat on the blanket.
"You went to see her too! How was it?" Cerise asked with curiosity she hadn't thought that Daring Charming of all people would also need to see Andrea.
"It was really great I got a lot of things off my chest and well I feel a lot better." Daring replied.
"That's good, I know things haven't been so...charming since you walked out on Apple." Cerise says back.
"Well no, it's hasn't been but I still have my true friends and my family to support me; so in the end I believe it was for the best." Daring explained.
"So what did you and Andrea ended up talking about?" Cerise asked.
"Sorry not gonna tell you." Daring says while shaking his head. "Unless you think you can beat me in a game of basketball." Daring finishes with a wink.
"Oh, you're so on like fairy song! Just name the time and the place and I'm there." Cerise exclaimed while standing up confidently.
"Two days from now at 4 o' clock on the basketball court! BE THERE!" Daring says also standing up looking determinedly at Cerise.
"I will Daring and you are so GOING DOWN!" Cerise responds back while poking his chest.
"Well see about that Cerise!" Daring says leaning in closer to her face and kissing her on the cheek. "Until then Charm you later." Daring then walks away leaving Cerise speechless.
A/N End of chapter once again, for this chapter I had to do a lot of research and everything that Daring 'found out' is basically all the things I found about Snow White. If someone didn't know that then I'm sorry for telling you here. But even in Disney's Snow White she's actually supposed to be 13 years old so fun facts today. But in the end I think this chapter turned out ok and hey I even managed to put some Darise in the end! So any guesses on whose a bender or not and what type of bender let's wait and see.
