Once Upon a Time in Enchancia

Welcome to Chapter 7 of "Once Upon a Time in Enchancia".

Chapter 7: Darkness and Light (Part Two)

October 18, 1867

In the guest room where Jade was laying unconscious, Elizabeth and Htebazile walked in and approached Jade's parents who were watching over Jade.

"Prince Liang, Princess Emma," Elizabeth started. "Htebazile and I have brought a potion made from the Aguito Root. We're ready to administer it to your daughter."

"Please proceed," Liang directed, hopeful.

As Htebazile cradled Jade's head, Elizabeth carefully poured the potion into Jade's mouth.

"We should know in a few moments if the potion has worked," Elizabeth announced.

As Prince Liang, Princess Emma, Elizabeth, and Htebazile watched, Jade did not respond.

"We may need to give Princess Jade the stronger dose," Htebazile suggested to Elizabeth.

"Agreed," Elizabeth acknowledged.

As Htebazile once again cradled Jade's head, Elizabeth carefully poured the stronger potion into Jade's mouth. In a few moments, Jade started slowly responding.

"What ... happened?" Jade wanted to know, dazed. "The last thing I remember is Cedric firing on me with his wand."

"Cedric gave you some Eternal Nightshade," Emma explained. "Lady Elizabeth and Lady Htebazile here managed to bring you around."

"I feel ... dizzy," Jade complained.

"We had to give you a stronger potion to bring you around," Elizabeth said to Jade. "You'll experience dizziness for a few days as a result. Just stay home for a few days, and the dizziness will pass."

"Thank you, Lady Elizabeth, Lady Htebazile," Liang said, grateful.

"You've brought our little girl back to us," Emma said to Elizabeth and Htebazile with a tear of happiness in her eye.

"Mom," Jade started to protest. "I'm fifteen. I'm hardly a little girl, anymore."

"You'll always be my little girl," Emma smiled as she hugged Jade.

Liang, Elizabeth, and Htebazile smiled at the touching scene.

Even though it was night at the castle, word spread quickly about Jade's recovery. At one point, Dorrie walked down to the castle dungeon.

"Lady Dorrie?" a male guard on duty asked, taken off guard by Dorrie's presence.

"I just want to talk to our guest for a few moments," Dorrie said to the guard.

"Of course," the guard agreed as Dorrie walked up to the cell which held Cedric.

"Well, Chuckles," Dorrie mocked at Cedric, "I bring bad news ... for you. Jade has been cured of the Eternal Nightshade you slipped her. You lose ... again."

"Ha, ha ... very funny, witch!" Cedric spat at Dorrie.

"And proud of it," Dorrie responded to her witch heritage.

"I would have thought your freaky sister would have been down here," Cedric said in a mocking tone. "She likes to gloat!"

"Well, Candice has other things to do right now," Dorrie glared at Cedric. "You're not exactly on the A list anymore."

"Mocking witch!" Cedric said in disgust under his breath.

"Hey! You're the one who messed up!" Dorrie pointed out. "And now you're paying the price for it!"

"If that is all, please leave," Cedric requested as he sat down on a bench in his cell.

"Oh, I'm planning to," Dorrie announced. "I have duties to perform, including being Sofia's lady-in-waiting."

Dorrie then walked away. As Dorrie walked out of the dungeon, Candice was waiting for her.

"So, I take it you told Cedric about the good news?" Candice asked.

"Yes," Dorrie acknowledged. "Let's just say he didn't take it well. Meanwhile, about Constance?"

"Dorrie," Candice began, "Constance has changed ... for the better. I really think you should see her. I think it would do the two of you good."

"I'm still not sure," Dorrie hesitated.

"All of you accepted me when I turned good," Candice gently reminded Dorrie. "Now that Constance has turned good, she deserves the same chance at acceptance, don't you think?"

"You're right, off course," Dorrie agreed. "I'll see her in the morning. Right now, I have to attend to Sofia before she goes to bed."

"And being Lucinda's lady-in-waiting, I have to attend to Lucinda before she goes to bed," Candice announced. "I'll see you later."

"See you later," Dorrie smiled as she and Candice went off to perform their duties.

October 19, 1867

It was a Saturday morning at Enchancia Castle. Cedric had been carted back off to Azkaban, and Jade was starting her recovery from her bout with Eternal Nightshade. Everything was slowly returning to normal.

Inside the castle, Dorrie arrived at the door leading to Constance's guest room. Dorrie hesitated for a few moments, then knocked on the door.

"Come in," Constance invited.

Dorrie opened the door, and walked in. Constance removed her wand, gently laid it on the bed, and knelt down.

"I'm here to receive any revenge you think is appropriate," Constance quietly said. "After what I did to you, anything you dish out is warranted."

"I'm not here for that," Dorrie gently pointed out. "It would be easy to carry out revenge, but it wouldn't be civilized. I'd prefer to talk this out. Please stand, and take back your wand."

Constance stood, and placed her wand in the waistband of the skirt she was wearing.

"Lets each have a seat, shall we?" Dorrie suggested.

As Constance and Dorrie sat down, facing each other, Constance started to talk. "I apologize for what I did to you so long ago. I was a different person back then, a dark person. I've changed for the better, now. I don't expect you to believe me."

"Would you be willing for me to do a magical scan of your mind?" Dorrie asked.

"If it will prove to you that I've changed for the better, then yes," Constance agreed.

Dorrie walked over, faced Constance, and concentrated. As Dorrie concentrated, images and emotions from Constance's mind filled Dorrie's mind. In a few moments, it became clear that Constance was telling the truth, that Constance was now good.

"I believe you," Dorrie said to Constance as Dorrie stepped back.

"Thank you," Constance acknowledged, grateful.

"So, what happens next?" Dorrie wanted to know. "Where do we go from here?"

"That's up to you, Lady Dorrie," Constance said, "I'd like us to at least get along. I'm working for Scarlett, as are you."

"Let's start as colleagues," Dorrie suggested. "We obviously share the same goals - to fight evil, and ensure the freedom of the world."

"Then colleagues it is," Constance approved. "Maybe one day, we can move up to being friends?"

"As strange as it might sound coming from me, I find that appealing," Dorrie admitted. "I'd rather have a friend than an enemy any day. Let's take it one day at a time."

"Agreed," Constance confirmed as she shook Dorrie's hand.

Meanwhile, outside of the castle stables, Jade was walking around. She was still a bit dizzy, but was able to navigate. As she walked, Skywind landed next to Jade.

"Jade!" Skywind exclaimed in relief. "You're better!"

"Yes," Jade smiled as she hugged her flying horse friend. "And how have they been treating you here?"

"They've been treating me fine," Skywind reported. "They put me in a stall that has a back entrance that allows me to come and go as I please."

"I'm glad you've been treated nicely," Jade gratefully said.

From a distance, Candice was walking to the stables for stable duty when she noticed the pleasant scene between Jade and Skywind.

"Two friends reunited," Candice happily thought to herself as she continued to the stables.

While Jade and Skywind were catching up with each other, fourteen-year-old Sofia, and fourteen-year-old Lucinda, walked up.

"Oh, Jade!" Sofia smiled as she hugged Jade. "It's wonderful to see you up and about."

"It feels good to be out of bed," Jade smiled back. "But I'm going to be dizzy for a little while."

"Because of the stronger dose they had to give you?" Lucinda asked.

"Yes," Jade acknowledged. "But how did you know?"

"My birth parents taught me about such things," Lucinda revealed.

"Lucinda and I are going on a picnic," Sofia announced. "We brought extra, and you and Skywind are invited."

"We'd love that!" Jade accepted.

"Then let's go," Lucinda suggested. "We'll be having it the Peppertree Forest."

"Jade, climb on my back," Skywind offered. "I'll walk you over. You're still recovering."

Jade climbed onto Skywind's back, and everybody started walking to the the nearby Peppertree Forest. As Skywind walked, he happily started prancing.

"Skywind just loves to prance after he performed in the Dunwitty Spectacular," Jade happily explained.

"That's right," Sofia remembered. "You and Skywind were in the opening number, and Skywind pranced along with Mazzimo. That was amazing."

Jade and Skywind smiled at Sofia's complement.

That afternoon

Dorrie and Candice had the afternoon off, and had decided to practice their shape shifting and magical battle skills in the gardens behind the castle. The two had invited Elainna Pearson to watch.

"Good afternoon, Lady Dorrie, Lady Candice," fourteen-year-old Elainna cheerfully greeted. "I'm so looking forward to this. I hope you don't mind, but I invited the rest of the Pearsons to watch as well."

"Looks like we're playing before an audience again," Candice smiled at Dorrie.

"That's right!" Elainna remembered. "The two of you are the royal magicians of Enchancia."

"Anything in particular you'd like to see?" Dorrie asked Elainna.

"Just do what you were planning to do," Elizabeth said as she walked up with the rest of the Pearsons.

"Ladies," Dorrie started as she addressed the Pearsons, "Candice and I present our magical training exercises."

Dorrie and Candice started by firing their wands at a series of targets that were set up nearby.

"Now that our warm up is complete, Dorrie and I will get into the nuts and bolts of our exercises," Candice announced to the Pearsons.

As the Pearsons watched, Dorrie transformed into a werewolf, and Candice transformed into a large white dragon. Dorrie then climbed onto Candice's back, as Candice took flight. Candice flew through the sky, then headed back to the castle gardens. When a group of cloth dummies came into view, Dorrie jumped from Candice's back and started attacking some of the dummies with a staff. At that same moment, Candice swooped down and started brushing aside some of the dummies with one of her wings.

"Bravo!" Elainna shouted in glee.

"Excellent," Elizabeth smiled in approval as the rest of the Pearsons clapped.

Standing nearby was eleven-year-old Calista. Dorrie nodded to Calista, and Calista cast a spell making the remaining dummies come to life. Dorrie remained in her werewolf form, while Candice transformed into her white Maleficent form. Dorrie and Candice then started doing battle with the dummies, with Dorrie attacking with her staff, and Candice attacking with her scepter.

At one point, Candice felt a strange sensation travel through her body. She outstretched her hand, and a ball of fire suddenly appeared in Candice's hand. Candice shot the ball of fire from her hand, and hit the dummies she was fighting, bringing all of them down. Dorrie then used her wand to take out the remaining dummies.

"That was amazing, Candice!" Dorrie exclaimed, impressed.

"That was ever so clever, Candice," Calista remarked, impressed, as she came over. "Is that something new?"

"It would appear so," Candice acknowledged, taken off guard, as she and Dorrie transformed back to their normal selves.

"That was wonderful," Elizabeth said as she walked over with the rest of the Pearsons. "That was one of the best magical displays I've ever seen."

"Thank you, Lady Elizabeth," Dorrie said as she, Candice, and Calista curtsied.

"And who is your young friend?" Htebazile asked, looking at Calista.

"This is Calista, the third royal magician of Enchancia," Candice answered.

"A pleasure to meet you, young lady," Htebazile smiled at Calista.

"The pleasure is mine, Lady Htebazile," Calista smiled back.

Eleven-year-old Kimmy Pearson, and eleven-year-old Ymmik Pearson, walked up to Calista. The two girls then started a conversation with Calista.

"It's a pleasure to meet you," Kimmy smiled at Calista.

"We don't often get to meet magical girls our age," Ymmik happily added, looking at Calista.

"I'd love to be able to trade spells with you," Calista happily suggested. "The two of you must know some useful spells, and I know some useful spells."

"We'd love that!" Kimmy and Ymmik exclaimed in glee as the three went off to talk.

"Lady Dorrie, Lady Candice," Elainna started, "I understand the two of you attend Royal Prep. But, I thought once students reach their teen years, they had to pick a specialty school to attend, such as the Institute for Science and Alchemy, or Chivalry Hall, or the Ever Realm Academy."

"Well, the truth be told," Dorrie began, "while there are seven schools to choose from, Candice and I looked at the fine print, and discovered an eighth option - the ability to continue attending Royal Prep, but now taking advanced classes."

"And once most of the students discovered that eighth option, they chose to stay at Royal Prep," Candice added.

"But the two of you also attend Hexley Hall," Htebazile noted.

"Yes," Dorrie acknowledged. "Candice and I split our time between Hexley Hall and Royal Prep."

"The best of both worlds," Elizabeth smiled.

"Refreshments are available in the gazebo," Baileywick announced to everybody present.

As everybody walked to the gazebo, Candice stopped, and looked at her hand.

"What else can I do don't I know of?" Candice asked herself out loud, both impressed and worried.

"I wouldn't worry about it," Dorrie suggested as she gently rested her hand on Candice's shoulder. "Mom and I always thought that you might have some hidden talents that would show up some day. It's a part of who you are."

"You're a young teenager," Elizabeth pointed out to Candice. "Such talents usually start coming to the surface at your age. Consider it a part of growing up."

Candice smiled at Dorrie and Elizabeth's encouragement.

Discovering the truth

Later that afternoon, Scarlett and Constance burst into a secret cabin that they followed Zahida into. Constance then gasped as she saw someone who looked just like Zahida bound and gagged in a corner as the person shouted out muffled shouts at them. As Constance looked on, Scarlett took out her sword and cut the ropes restraining the person who looked like Zahida. The person who looked like Zahida collapsed onto the ground, breathing heavily as she started to well up in tears.

"I got you, Zahida," Scarlett gently said as the woman started sobbing uncontrollably, and started crying on Scarlett's shoulder. Scarlett hugged her and patted her on the back as Constance raised her eyebrow.

"What's going on here?" Constance asked as Scarlett sat Zahida back down and put a blanket around Zahida's shoulders as Zahida breathed heavily.

"Pray you never learn just how good it can be to see another face," Zahida told Constance as Scarlett nodded.

"It's okay. I knew that wasn't the real you the whole time," Scarlett admitted.

"You did?" Constance asked, taken off guard. "I'm so confused. How did you know she wouldn't betray you?"

"I didn't," Scarlett announced. "It's you who I knew she would never betray. Loyalty was always one of her best qualities even when she was against us."

Zahida then got up and briefly slapped Constance across the face.

"What was that for?" Constance asked, confused.

"For even thinking for one second that I would ever betray you," Zahida answered. "Influenced or not, I would never abandon you. You're the only real friend I've ever had, Constance. I didn't abandon you when you briefly went insane and I'm not abandoning you now. You know me better than that."

"But if you're the real Zahida, then who's the one who freed Cedric?" Constance asked.

"He obviously had a failsafe in case he got caught," Zahida started. "He kidnapped me about three months ago and had me stored in his hideout. Then he made an evil clone of me and had her take my place in Cinnibar where she would earn your trust and then free Cedric shortly afterwards. You've got to believe me."

"Are you certain you're not lying?" Constance asked, not sure of what to believe.

"Constance, I've known you for almost five years. When have I ever lied to you?" Zahida asked.

At that moment, the clone of Zahida burst in, raising her wand.

"Repulsia!" a man's voice rang out as a magical blast of energy hit the clone of Zahida, knocking her unconscious. Everybody looked to see Corbett standing there.

"Nice timing, Corbett," Scarlett smiled.

"My pleasure, Queen Scarlett," Corbett smiled back.

"Who is this?" the real Zahida asked about Corbett, taken off guard.

"Cedric made a good clone of himself to throw people off," Scarlett answered. "The result is who you see before you. His name is Corbett, and he works for us now."

"Well, thank you for coming to our aid," the real Zahida thanked Corbett.

"You are quite welcome, dear lady," Corbett responded as he bowed.

"What do we do with this one?" Constance asked as she looked at the unconscious clone of Zahida.

"We take her back to face judgment for her crimes," Scarlett answered, before turning to the real Zahida. "We'll get this straightened out, I promise. Afterward, I look forward to having you return to the fold as it were."

"Thank you, Scarlett," the real Zahida said gratefully.

"My pleasure," Scarlett said with a happy smile.

October 20, 1867

It was Sunday morning at Enchancia Castle. On the front steps of the castle, the representatives from the House of Pearson were preparing to depart.

"I want to thank you for an enjoyable stay here at Enchancia Castle," Elizabeth happily said to King Roland. "I can see that Enchancia and the House and Pearson will be fine allies."

"You are most welcome, Lady Elizabeth," Roland smiled back. "I look forward to our partnership."

Elizabeth then turned to Violet. "I want to thank you and your domestic staff for taking such good care of us. We've never encountered a better class of service than we've encountered here."

"Thank you, Lady Elizabeth," Violet acknowledged with pride.

"I can see that the House of Cosmarune and the House of Pearson will be fine allies," Elizabeth smiled.

"We thank you for the opportunity to serve," Violet smiled back as she curtsied.

With that, the representatives from the House of Pearson boarded their flying carriage, and departed. As Roland and the royal family walked back into the castle, Violet walked up to Dorrie and Candice.

"I think that all went rather well," Violet said, pleased, as she hugged her daughters.

"Yes, it did," Dorrie happily agreed.

"Meanwhile, I have news," Candice announced. "The palace of Arendelle and I are wrapping up the details of my upcoming visit with Queen Elsa. And, I was able to arrange for the three of us to visit the palace."

"But this is your time to shine," Violet pointed out.

"You're my mother," Candice responded, before turning to Dorrie. "And, you're my sister. It wouldn't feel right leaving the two of you behind. We're a family, the three of us. Where I go, you go."

"Well then, thank you," Violet smiled.

"It's going to be wonderful to see the palace," Dorrie happily added. "Thank you, Candice."

"You're very welcome Mom, Dorrie," Candice said, pleased.

Meanwhile, in Cinnibar, at Scarlett's palace, Zahida was standing on a balcony looking out at the palace grounds when Constance walked up.

"Your clone has been carted off to Azkaban," Constance reported.

"At least there she won't do any harm," Zahida said in relief as she stared off into space.

"You okay?" Constance asked, concerned.

"Being held against my will for three months, and not knowing what was going to happen, how can I be okay?" Zahida quietly answered. "It changed me, Constance."

"I'll be there for you, my friend," Constance said in a reassuring tone as she gently put her hand on Zahida's shoulder.

"I'll be there for you as well," Scarlett said to Zahida as she walked up.

"What happens now?" Zahida wanted to know.

"The magical tribunal has cleared you of any wrongdoing," Scarlett answered. "You're free to come and go as you please."

"If you don't mind, I'd like to stay here," Zahida requested. "There's work to be done here, keeping the forces of evil at bay. I'd like to be a part of that work. I've seen the light, as Constance has."

"Then welcome home," Scarlett smiled as she hugged Zahida. "I think you, me, and Constance are going to make quite the team."

A palace servant then brought Scarlett, Zahida, and Constance each a glass of wine.

"To the future," Constance said as she raised her glass.

"To the future," Scarlett and Zahida said as they, too, raised their glasses.

October 21, 1867

It was Monday morning at Hexley Hall. In the great hall, at the Pepperton House table, Sofia, Lucinda, Dorrie, and Candice had just sat down. In a few moments, other Pepperton House students arrived - fourteen-year-old Ruby, fourteen-year-old Abby Murphy, fourteen-year-old Adair Starwell, seven-year-old Timothy O'Toole, nine-year-old Samantha "Sam" Cook (Timothy's girlfriend), and nine-year-old Marie Perkins (Timothy's cousin).

"Good morning, guys," Sofia smiled as everybody sat down.

At that moment, fourteen-year-old Prince Desmond raced past on his way to the Waldgrave House table. Desmond was still a new student at Hexley Hall, and had been sorted into Waldgrave House on his arrival. Desmond had been going to the Institute for Science and Alchemy, but it had recently become apparent that Desmond was more advanced than the other students there, and it was decided to transfer him to a school that would better serve his advanced needs. And Hexley Hall fit the bill nicely.

"Hey! Des!" Princess Faith smiled as Desmond sat down at the Waldgrave House table. "Why the rush?"

"Sorry, Faith," Desmond smiled back. "I arrived early to work on a potion, and before I knew it, it was time for morning assembly."

"Desmond is a fine student," Sofia remarked to those at the Pepperton House table. "He's going to make a fine alchemist one day."

Everybody smiled in agreement.

"So, Ruby?" Lucinda asked. "Any word on Jade?"

"She's at home right now, recovering," Ruby answered. "She should be back at school in a few days."

At that moment, Miss Lovegood (the headmistress of Hexley Hall) walked up to the front of the great hall.

"Students," Miss Lovegood started. "If I may have your attention, I have some announcements to make."

Everybody at the tables gave their attention to Miss Lovegood.

"First of all, congratulations to our very own Lady Candice," Miss Lovegood started. "She has been invited to visit Queen Elsa of Arendelle, and will be traveling to Arendelle this Saturday. I think it goes without saying that we are all quite proud of Lady Candice."

Everybody happily clapped in approval, as Candice smiled.

"On to other business," Miss Lovegood continued. "The wedding of our dear professors Yuki Moto and Silvia Sage will take place at Enchancia Castle on Saturday, November 16th. You've all received your invitations, and it will be a grand event that we are all looking forward to."

Everybody happily clapped, as Yuki and Silvia looked on, pleased.

"Also, I have news on our own Princess Jade," Miss Lovegood announced. "She is recovering from her battle with Eternal Nightshade, and is scheduled to return to Hexley Hall on Friday. I thought it would be nice if we could throw a welcome back celebration for her. I'm sure her house mates at Pepperton would be more than willing to make the arrangements."

"Consider it done, Miss Lovegood," Dorrie happily said from the Pepperton House table as everybody in the great hall clapped in approval.

"Oh my goodness!" Ruby exclaimed in glee. "Jade loves parties!".

"We'll need to make a cake," Timothy suggested.

"Actually, cakes," Dorrie pointed out.

"I could make a pumpkin bundt cake," Abby suggested. "It's one of Jade's favorites."

"We'll need to use the Enchancia Castle kitchen," Candice spoke up.

"When we get back to the castle, I'll run it by King Roland, Mister Baileywick, and Chef Andre," Dorrie responded. "We don't have any major events scheduled at the castle this week, and I'm sure they won't mind ... considering it's for a good cause."

"Between you, me, and Abby, we'll have a nice selection of cakes for the welcome back celebration," Candice happily said to Dorrie.

"May I help?" Timothy asked.

"I don't see why not," Abby smiled. "Chef Andre says you're becoming a fine cook and baker, and we can use all the help we can get."

"Lucinda and I can help as well," Sofia offered.

"I love baking," Lucinda said with a smile.

"I can help, too," Marie happily added.

"Then it's settled," Dorrie happily acknowledged.

"I see everything is well underway," Miss Lovegood smiled as she walked over. "As for baking supplies, please charge whatever you need to the Hexley Hall account. Also, if you need any additional help, please let me know and I'll arrange something."

"Thank you, Miss Lovegood," Dorrie acknowledged, pleased.

Everybody at the Pepperton House table then put their heads together, and planned out the specific details of the celebration. It would be an event that would go down in Hexley Hall history.

(End of Chapter 7).

Behind the scenes

In this edition of "Behind the scenes", we have some additional information on the Pearsons (supplied by epear96).

Each member of the Pearson family has a magical amulet. Each magical amulet is the same color as the person's outfit, and the amulets all have the same powers as Sofia, Dorrie, Candice, Lucinda, Jade, Danika, and all the other characters with magical amulets combined.

Elizabeth wears a light purple outfit, while Htebazile wears a dark purple outfit. Anastasia wears a light gold outfit, while Aisatsana wears a silver outfit. Esmerelda wears a light green outfit, while Adleremse wears a dark green outfit.

Elainna wears a cherry blossom pink outfit, while Anniale wears a red outfit. Kimmy wears a dark blue outfit, while Ymmik wears a light blue outfit. Amanda wears a sunshine yellow outfit, while Adnama wears a sunset orange outfit.

Each member of the Pearson family can do more than just potion making. They have every magical ability you can think of including, but not limited to, the ability to transform into any creature they want to be (whether the creature is magical or not). They can also transform into mermaids, but only when they are fully submerged in water.

Skywind is from SailorWednesdayMercury's story "From Villager To Princess Book 1". Zahida is from my stories "Dorrie" and "Dorrie: Book Two".

Eternal Nightshade is an illegal sleeping potion created for this story by MisuteriTenshi / SailorWednesdayMercury.

"I could make a pumpkin bundt cake," Abby suggested. "It's one of Jade's favorites" - as readers of my story "Dorrie: Book Two" will remember, Abby came up with the idea of a pumpkin bundt cake in Chapter 28 of that story.

Mazzimo is originally from the "Sofia the First" episodes "The Secret Library" and "Best in Air Show".

Miss (Gayle) Lovegood (A.K.A. Headmistress Lovegood) is originally from my stories "Dorrie" and "Dorrie: Book Two", and is an ancestor of Luna Lovegood from "Harry Potter".

The scene with Jade experiencing dizziness after being given the stronger potion was the idea of MisuteriTenshi / SailorWednesdayMercury.

The scene where the truth about Zahida is revealed was the idea of Ben10Man (who also provided much of the dialog for that scene). I added in Corbett to help fill things out.

"That's right," Sofia remembered. "You and Skywind were in the opening number, and Skywind pranced along with Mazzimo. That was amazing" - having a reference to Jade and Skywind performing in the Dunwitty Spectacular (from Chapter 4 of "Once Upon a Time in Enchancia") was the idea of MisuteriTenshi / SailorWednesdayMercury.

"Well, the truth be told," Dorrie began, "while there are seven schools to choose from, Candice and I looked at the fine print, and discovered an eighth option - the ability to continue attending Royal Prep, but now taking advanced classes" - this is my way of dealing with events seen in the "Sofia the First" episode "The Royal School Fair" (while I liked the idea of seven specialty schools, I thought there should be an option for remaining at Royal Prep, so I came up with the idea of remaining at Royal Prep, but now taking advanced classes).
