"I… I'm sorry," said Headmaster Grimm as he tried to recover from his laughter and compose himself.
"I just never thought Princess Samira would send someone who would be able to actually pull it off," said Headmaster Grimm with a kind smile while leaving the room.
"Alright, did we all miss something or what?" asked Briar as she and everyone else did not move a muscle out of pure shock from what they had just witnessed from their Headmaster.
"He always had hoped that someone would be able to do this but also had to keep up appearances," said Leah who was also smiling.
"In truth, Headmaster Grimm also hated that everyone relied on the Storybook of Legends," she said.
"Apple," said Raven as she walked up to her.
"Are you really okay with this, your destiny meant so much to you," she said.
"Not as much as you and the rest of our friends mean to me," said Apple before she started to cry and lowered her head to look down at the floor.
"And I'm sorry for not realizing it sooner," she said through her tears.
"It's okay," said Raven as she hugged the princess who was shocked by the sudden show of emotions from the witch.
"I'm sure I speak for everyone here when I say that we forgive you, and welcome you to the Rebels," said Raven.
"Thanks," said Apple while hugging the witch back.
"Hey, where did Leah and the others go?" asked Cerise as she noticed that the three were gone.
"Couldn't let us say good-bye to everyone first?" asked Leah as she, Shimmer, and Shine stood before Princess Samira back in Zahramay Falls. During Raven and Apple's conversation the three had been pulled back without a single person noticing.
"I apologies, but it's how this works, once the job is done those sent over must come back right away," said Princess Samira.
"Here are the Master Gems back," said Shimmer and Shine while holding out the gems.
"Thank you," said Princess Samira as she took the two gems back.
"But are we sure that everyone back in Ever After will be alright, there were still some people who were not so happy with what happened, right?" asked Shine with a worried expression.
"I'm sure they will be alright," said Leah with a smile.
"Now come on, let's go home," she said.
