The next morning soon came. Holly and Poppy are grooming Nevermore.
"Wow, Poppy, this paint is hard to get off." Holly told her sister.
"Tell me about it, Holly," Poppy replied. "And we're almost out of scale polish!"
Spyro soon came over to the group.
"Good morning, Spyro." Atticus smiled to his dragon.
"Morning, Dad." Spyro said.
Cherry snickered.
"Shut up." Atticus muttered to her.
Cherry looked away with an innocent smirk.
"Hi, Auntie Cherry." Spyro said.
"Oh, that's not cool." Cherry groaned.
Atticus just laughed out loud.
"Shut up!" Cherry snapped.
"Shall we go see Midnight and Nevermore?" Spyro asked as he yawned and stretched as he was eager to see his new dragon friends.
"Sure, but I think Nevermore might still be having trouble with the paint." Atticus said.
"Paint is a bit of a hassle to get out," Mo agreed. "In our Art Class, I usually have to wash my hands more than showering in Ms. Magrooney's gym class when she makes us run laps."
"Maybe some magic will help." Patch said.
"It's worse a shot," Atticus replied. "I'm sure the O'Hair twins are in quite a pickle themselves."
And, of course, he was right. They came to see Rapunzel's daughters as they struggled with Nevermore. The female dragon was alarmed by the dropping of the water bucket and started trashing the room. Spyro soon got in her way and the two of them accidentally kissed. Both of them seemed to blush at that while the O'Hair twins looked shocked.
"Um, s-so, I'm guessing you don't like water?" Spyro smiled bashfully to Nevermore.
"I just get so scared," Nevermore sighed shakily. "I'm a bit of a cowardly dragon."
"I can tell that you have a courage inside you just waiting to be let out." Spyro smiled.
"I just wish that I could..." Nevermore sighed.
"I know that you can," Spyro looked into her eyes with encouragement and bravery as always. "You just have to believe in yourself. When things go down, there's only one way left to go, and that is up!"
Nevermore soon took a deep breath and let it out.
"There you go!" Spyro smiled. "You can do this, I believe in you!"
"Thank you, Spyro," Nevermore smiled back with a blush. "Um, but maybe it would help if you would stay by my side while they give me my bath."
"You wouldn't mind?" Spyro asked shyly.
"Not at all," Nevermore replied. "Uh, as long as you don't mind."
"I don't mind." Spyro replied back.
Nevermore and Spyro then smiled to each other.
"Poppy, we're gonna need some kind of armor if we're gonna stay in the dragon grooming biz." Holly told her twin sister.
"Uh-huh, but I think Nevermore is going to settle down now." Poppy replied.
Spyro nodded.
In the castleteria...
"Man, I'm starving, I could eat anything," Cherry groaned. "I haven't eaten since last week."
"Let's see what there is to eat." Mo suggested.
"Please." Cherry begged hungrily.
"You guys want steak?" A red-hooded girl smirked.
"Sure." Atticus said.
The hooded girl then offered to share.
Atticus smiled, though flinched as he saw that her steak was bloody like a wolf would eat in the forest. "Let me guess," he then said to her. "You're Red Riding Hood's daughter, right?"
The girl looked around before whispering to him. "Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf's daughter."
"Huh, you know, they're not the oddest couple that I've heard of." Atticus said.
"Really?" The red-hooded girl asked. "Who could be stranger than that?"
"Try a Pegasus marrying a draconequus," Atticus said. "Or an earth pony and a timberwolf being in love."
"Hmm... That is a bit unusual..." The hooded girl had to admit.
"Everyone, I want you to meet the new girl: my old friend, Mira!" Apple announced as she suddenly came into the cafeteria.
"What's down?" Mira greeted the other teenagers.
This just caused Spyro to go face-palm as he knew this was Evil Queen.
"Up!" Apple whispered to Mira. "What's up?"
Mira groaned before going to the Ever After High students. "What's up, new friends?"
"I'm Darling," This world's Cinderella smiled. "Darling Charming. How do you guys know each other?"
"Neighbors./Camp." Apple and Mira said at the same time.
"Yeah, we went to neighboring camps." Mira made up.
"That's interesting." Mo said.
"Hi! I'm Cerise Hood," The red-hooded girl came toward Mira. "What school did you-"
"I was home-schooled." Mira interrupted.
"Rude." Cherry said.
"Oh, hello, welcome to Ever After High," Ashlynn Ella smiled as she came with Lizzie and Raven. "I'm Ashlynn, that's Lizzie, and Raven. Love your outfit!"
"You look wicked!" Raven smiled to Mira as she didn't realize this was her own mother, but as a teenager.
"Yeah, in a good way." Crow added.
"You're Raven Queen?!" Mira gasped at Raven. "You're like a spellebrity! Daughter of the greatest villain in fairy tale history?! And you must be her brother, Crow!"
"Who, our mom?" Raven replied. "Yeah, she's a queen."
"A drama queen." Crow smirked to his sister.
Raven giggled slightly.
Soon enough, the O'Hair twins came in with Nevermore, Midnight, and Spyro.
"Well, what do you think?" Poppy smiled. "All cleaned up."
"Nice." Atticus smiled.
"Nevermore!" Raven beamed. "Oh, she looks very-"
"Bow-dacious!" Holly replied.
"Yeah, she really does." Spyro blushed.
"Are you blushing?" Patch smirked.
"Huh? What?" Spyro asked. "No, of course I'm not! Dragons don't blush!"
"Funny, Spike does that anytime he sees Rarity." Cherry smirked as well.
"He used to do that." Atticus reminded her.
"You know what I mean." Cherry replied.
"Wow, guys," Mira told Raven and Crow. "Your dragons are so cute!"
Nevermore screeches and turns into a giant size dragon before breathing some fire. Midnight seemed to growl at Mira and turns into a giant size dragon before, about to breathe fire at her.
"Whoa! Hey!" Crow scolded his dragon.
Midnight soon stopped himself from breathing fire.
"Raven and Crow Queen, what are your animals doing in the castleteria?!" Headmaster Grimm scolded sharply as he came with Drell.
"I'm sorry, Headmaster Grimm!" Raven hung her head. "It won't happen again."
Drell took a bit of a long look toward Mira. "Haven't I seen you somewhere?" He asked.
"Oh, um, I don't think so, sir," Mira replied, though she seemed to be lying. "I mean, I live far, far away from here."
"Hmm... Where exactly?" Drell asked.
"Oh, farther than you've traveled, I'm sure." Mira smiled nervously.
"Try me..." Drell smirked as he came beside her, looking down at her.
"Uh, um, oh, look, I think Raven and Crow need help." Mira replied before zipping off out of the castleteria.
"That's Evil Queen, isn't it?" Drell whispered to Apple.
"Uh, I don't know what you're talking about..." Apple avoided eye contact.
Drell glared and took her by her face and made their eyes meet. "I'm right here..." he told her firmly. "Don't you dare lie to me, people who lie to me, don't survive very long."
"Okay, it is!" Apple confessed.
"But how did she get free?" Drell asked.
Apple bit her lip.
"What did you do?" Drell asked.
"I didn't do anything!" Apple defended.
Drell glared and looked up past the ceiling. "Narrators, what happened?" he then demanded.
"She's telling the truth, sir," The male narrator replied nervously. "Apple White had nothing to do with it!"
"Though Spyro did accidentally set Evil Queen free." Brooke said.
"Spyro, eh?" Drell narrowed his eyes. "Excuse me a moment..."
"I don't like that look in his eyes..." The female narrator shuddered. "It spells doom for us all."
"Come here, Spyro, I wanna talk to you a minute..." Drell said ominously as he grabbed a meat cleaver while approaching the male purple teenage dragon. "I wanna talk to you about an old recipe I learned from Sir Ruber."
"Drell, don't you dare!" Atticus glared as he protected Spyro.
"I just wanna talk to the little dragon." Drell grinned innocently.
"And as for the meat cleaver?" Atticus glared.
Drell looked down and tossed the cleaver. "What meat cleaver?"
Cherry walked by and yelped, narrowly ducking as the cleaver flew from Drell's hand and got stuck in the wall, touching one hair on her head which made her gulp nervously.
"Come on, Spyro; let's go somewhere else." Atticus said.
"Okay." Spyro nodded.
Drell put his hand on Atticus's shoulder. "When are you going to tell him you're not his father." he then whispered to the young Wiccan.
"He told me two weeks ago." Spyro said.
"Oh... Um... Of course he did..." Drell replied before putting his hands behind his back. "No worries, you won't be alone on your journeys."
"Who will be with me then? Spyro wondered.
"I believe you were to be assigned someone by the name of Sparx." Drell paused to remember.
"How will I know when I meet him?" Spyro asked.
"You'll know him when you see him," Drell replied. "He's a dragonfly."
"You're teaming up a dragon with a dragonfly?" Cherry deadpanned.
"Hey, I didn't write this!" Drell glared in defense as he brought out a book of adventures.
"Anyways, I better figure out how to turn giant dragon size." Spyro said.
"You'll find out when the time comes." Drell replied.
"Spike should be able to do that too," Atticus suggested. "I mean, he's still small. The same with Matches."
"He'll start molting." Drell said.
Mira went to follow Raven and Crow out of the castleteria.
"Freeze!" Drell glared and soon ran after Mira.
"Hey, guys, are you okay?" Mira asked Raven and Crow.
"Yeah, I don't know what's gotten into Nevermore," Raven sulked. "She doesn't normally spook like that!"
"And Midnight never gets that aggressive." Crow said.
"That was unfairest of Grimm to bust you like that," Mira frowned before smirking slyly. "Why didn't you blame Holly and Poppy? They brought dragons into the castlteria!"
"Uh, that's not what friends do." Raven told Mira.
The class bell soon rang.
"Sorry, we have to get to our next class." Crow said.
"Oh, um, which class?" Mira asked them.
"Science and Sorcery." Raven replied.
"Oh, I'm in that class," Mira smiled. "Maybe you could show me the ropes?"
"Um, okay." Crow said.
The siblings soon went off with their teenage mother to class.
Drell barged out of the doors and glared as he looked around for Mira to stop her before sighing. "Well, I guess it could be worse," he said to himself. "Sombra could include himself in this somehow."
"Um, well..." The male narrator smiled nervously.
"What now?" Drell replied.
"Don't get mad, but..." The female narrator said nervously.
"SPEAK!" Drell demanded. "Don't make me come up there!"
"King Sombra is including himself!" Brooke told him.
"Brooke!" The adult narrators scolded.
"I KNEW IT!" Drell snapped. "I will rip his horn off his head!"
"He's gotten stronger." The male narrator warned him.
Drell narrowed his eyes as he went off anyway.
"He's dead..." Brooke commented. "I'll post a group on Facebook for his memory."
Sombra soon appeared, only as a teenage boy. Drell kept walking around until he found himself stopping.
"Hello, sir," Sombra smirked innocently. "I'm a new student in Ever After High. Mind helping me to Headmaster Grimm's office?"
"Um, sure." Drell said.
"Thank you, sir." Sombra smirked.
Drell narrowed his eyes. "What's your name, kid?"
Sombra began to think of a name before coming up with one.
"I'm waaaaiting..." Drell replied, nearly sounding like Sonic the Hedgehog.
"Ulrich Umbrum," Sombra gave out a false name. "Heir to the Umbrum Kingdom."
"That's an interesting name." Drell said.
"Thank you, sir." Sombra grinned.
Drell shuddered before running off as he shook chills around his body. "Erm, I'll find the headmaster for you, just wait right there!"
"Oh, but why?" Sombra smirked as his sleeves burst from his muscles as he crossed his arms.
"Ooh, I'm just busy right now!" Drell smiled nervously as he ran from Sombra. "Busy, busy, bee, that's me! Bzzt!" he then buzzed like a bumblebee while running away from him.
Sombra smirked as he walked around, looking like just a new student looking for the headmaster's office.
"That was close..." Drell said nervously.
"I thought you were gonna tear his horn off." Brooke mocked which was pretty much a death wish.
"He's not in his unicorn form." Drell glared.
"I know, but still." Brooke replied.
"Are you mocking me?" Drell asked.
"Maybe?" Brooke asked before she muffled as the narrators were clearly trying to make her stop.
"Anyway, I am keeping away from him." Drell said.
"Are you afraid of him?" Brooke asked.
"That is none of your business!" Drell replied as he stormed off.
Soon enough, classes began in Ever After High, and Mira was trying to push Raven and Crow back to evil, and where Sombra began to include his own way to push them to evil.
"Here are your General Villainy exam results," The Big Bad Wolf told the students, and he walks over to Raven's desk and grumpily hands her paper back. "Room for improvement, Miss Queen."
This made Raven sighed in defeat. Crow frowned as he knew that should have hurt.
"Cast a spell on the teacher and get straight A's," Mira grinned to Raven. "That's what I did in school."
"Wait, I thought you were home-schooled." Raven replied suspiciously.
"Talking in class, huh? Encouraging cheating?" The Big Bad Wolf asked crossly before smiling. "Raven, stick with this new girl, you could learn a thing or two."
"Is he serious?" Crow whispered to Sombra.
"Seems to be like that to me." Sombra replied with an innocent smirk.
"Wow." Atticus whispered.
"Hello there." Sombra smirked to him.
"Hi..." Atticus waved.
"Surprised to see a goody two shoes like you in this class." Sombra smirked.
"Yeah, well, this was in my class schedule." Atticus said.
"Interesting, tell me more," Sombra smirked. "Your parents must be so proud."
"Uh, well, my parents aren't evil..." Atticus rubbed his arm nervously.
"Then they must still be proud with the other classes." Sombra said.
"Um, yeah..." Atticus smiled nervously. "Say, do I know you? You seem familiar..."
Sombra just grinned. "I'd like to get to know you better, Atticus Fudo."
"Um, okay then." Atticus said.
Sombra grinned to him before sneering.
"Hey, Atticus, our notebooks got mixed up, sorry." Cherry told her best friend.
Atticus took his notebook from her before handing hers back to her. "I was wondering why my notebook had death threats in it."
"Yeah, sorry." Cherry said.
Sombra glared right into Cherry's eyes. Cherry shook a cold chill and soon ran off.
"Well, that was rude of her," Sombra told Atticus. "She didn't even say 'Thank you'."
"Yeah, that was weird." Atticus admitted.
Raven and her friends have Grimmnastics.
"Candy cane pole vault!" The Gingerbread Man told the students. "This old Gingerbread Man is about to show you how to take the cake."
'Wow.' Atticus thought to himself.
Mira nudges Raven and casts a spell on Gingerbread Man's pole, elongating it at least three times its original length. Its momentum flings Gingerbread Man square-into a basketball hoop.
"Oh, my gosh!" Mo gasped while Mira laughed carefree about this.
Raven looked to Mira and soon joined in on the laughter.
"Is Raven actually laughing?" Patch asked.
"Raven Queen!" The Gingerbread Man called out. "Was that you?"
"No, sir!" Raven replied before smirking to Mira. "Oh, but I kinda wish it was."
"Don't worry, sir, I can change you back." Sombra smirked.
"Oh, you will?" The Gingerbread Man smiled to Sombra. "Thank you! Um...?"
"Ulrich Umbrum." Sombra introduced.
"Thank you, Mr. Umbrum," The Gingerbread Man smiled. "Hmm... Umbrum, that sounds familiar somehow. Anyhow, please help me out before it's time for lunch."
Apple is shocked at Raven's sudden change of heart. Mira smiles over to Raven. Sombra soon smirked as he used his magic on the Gingerbread Man.
"Ah, thank you, Mr. Umbrum." The Gingerbread Man smiled as the lunch bell soon rang.
"No problem, sir." Sombra smirked.
Crow began to try to not laugh as he saw what the Gingerbread Man now looked like.
"Class Dismissed... What's so funny?" The Gingerbread Man asked.
"Oh, nothing." Sombra smirked.
"What?!" The Gingerbread Man asked before looking in the mirror as his students left and soon screamed.
Crow soon let out his laughter.
