"What is with the sudden assembly?" Mira wondered.

"Mm-mm," Raven shrugged. "It's top secret, no one knows."

"I heard there's a special guest." Blondie Locks said to the others.

"Really?" Crow asked. "Who's the special guest?"

"I dunno, I only heard about it." Blondie Locks replied.

"Maybe Apple White's mom is here." Mo said.

"It is my honor to welcome back our most successful graduate, our beloved queen: Snow White." Headmaster Grimm told the students.

"Wow, you're good." Atticus smiled to Mo.

"What is she up to?" Apple wondered about her mother.

"I have a feeling I know what she's up to." Sombra smirked.

"A little bird told me that dragons have returned to my beloved Alma Matter," Snow White began. "So it's time we restored the good old ways. Today, the Dragon Games are reinstated at Ever After High!"

This made the crowd cheer.

"The Dragon Games are tough, yet elegant, and I want my Ever After riders dressed accordingly," Snow White continued. "I've hired the creative team of Lizzie Hearts and Ashlynn Ella to design all-new dragon wear."

"Ooh." Mo smiled.

The O'Hair twins appear onstage dressed up in new styles.

"These looks are lightweight, flexible, and fashion-forward." Lizzie told the students.

"Not to mention fireproof, ice-proof, and explosion resistant." Ashylnn added.

"Wow." Mo smiled.

To demonstrate, Holly's baby dragon blows a puff of fire at Holly, but her wear deflects it from affecting her. Poppy's baby dragon tries breathing ice. Poppy's wrist-cuffs take the hit, but the ice disperses quickly. The crowd oohs and ahhs at them.

"Hmm... I have to admit that's not bad." Drell commented.

"Adorable! Now, I can't very well bring back dragon riding in an old dilapidated arena!" Snow White approved of this. "If you'll all follow me outside."

And where everyone soon followed her outside.

"Allow me to present the new Ever After High Dragon Center!" Snow White smiled to the others.

Everyone else soon applauded her as she walked to center stage.

"Hold your applause, please; I must admit, this was not my idea," Snow White told everyone. "My daughter Apple thought bringing back Dragon Games would unite everyone with school spirit!"

"Now I see how she's doing this." Sombra whispered to Mira.

"Always Little Miss Perfect..." Mira rolled her eyes about Snow White quietly.

Crow smiled to Apple, but he then frowned once she didn't seem sincere about this being her idea, even if Snow White said that it was. Atticus soon brought out his phone and checked the popularity scale now as he had a feeling Snow White was up to something. Mo lay her head on his shoulder to take a look with him.

"Way to go, Apple." Daring praised.

"Wow, Mom, why didn't you tell me about all this?" Apple blandly said to her mother. "Why did you say it was my idea when it wasn't?"

"Oh, you're welcome, my little Apple Dumpling." Snow White smiled to Apple.

"Looks like my theory was right." Atticus said.

"When aren't you right?" Cherry deadpanned.

Sombra glanced back at Cherry.

"Uh, I have to leave now." Cherry said before dashing off yet again.

"What is with her?" Patch asked.

Atticus paused to think about what could cause Cherry to be doing this since he had known her longer than anyone else had. He then remembered of how King Sombra would frighten her. "Uncle Sombra..." he whispered.

"You think he's here?" Patch asked Atticus.

"He's the only one that scares Cherry like that." Atticus said.

"That's true..." Mo admitted. "It's not like Cherry to be a fraidy cat, especially in a place like this."

"But I'm not sure where he could be." Atticus said.

"He could be right under our noses." Mo commented.

"And you can't always just buy popularity, Snow!" Mira called out to Snow White.

"Miss Shards!" Headmaster Grimm scolded. "Mind your manners!"

"Doesn't she look familiar, Headmaster?" Sombra smirked.

"Something about her does, but I just can't put my finger on it." Headmaster Grimm admitted.

"Wow looks like your spell even fooled him." Sombra smirked quietly to Mira.

"I'm such a genius." Mira smirked back.

"'Mira Shards' oh, very clever," Snow White chuckled innocently. "Rumor has it you're an excellent dragon rider, for a new kid on the block."

"The rumor's true." Mira replied.

"Only you're not a student," Snow White told her which made Apple gasp. "You might have been once, back when we were in school. I'd know that arched brow anywhere."

"Looks like her spell couldn't fool you, huh?" Sombra smirked.

"No, it has not, young man." Snow White huffed.

"I just wanted to be closer to my children!" Mira replied. "You can understand that."

"Children?" Raven and Crow asked.

"And to be young again, maybe?" Snow White giggled to her oldest enemy.

"Well, how else was she supposed to be close to them without being recognized?" Sombra asked.

"You'd have done it too if you could," Mira glared to Snow White. "So I suppose now you're gonna send me back to that awful mirror prison?"

"Mom!" Raven and Crow cried out which made everybody else gasp.

"Sorry, birdies," Mira replied before turning back into Evil Queen. "Guilty as charged."

"How are you here?" Crow asked.

"Oh, a certain little dragon set me free." Evil Queen smirked.

Spyro soon gulped quietly before trying to hide.

"Yay! The Evil Queen's here!" Madeline cheered before deadpanning. "Said no one ever!"

"Why does that remind me of Sour Sweet?" Cherry muttered.

"Stand back, Mother," Raven told Evil Queen. "Crow and I will not let you hurt our friends."

"Raven, Crow, I love that you're willing to fight with your magic powers, but you judge me too harshly," Evil Queen replied. "I don't wish harm."

"You don't?" Crow asked out of confusion.

"Don't listen to her, Crow," Raven told her brother. "It's a trick."

"No tricks, it is not so hard to change," Evil Queen replied before using her magic to turn Rumpelstiltskin into a frog. "See? He just changed."

"Why couldn't that be the Rumpelstiltskin that conned Shrek out of wishing he was never born?" Cherry groaned.

Atticus simply shrugged.

"Welcome to my world." A prince student told Rumpelstiltskin.

"And who are you?" Cherry asked.

"Hopper Croakington II," The prince bowed before Cherry before kissing the back of her hand with a flirty smirk. "I'm the next Frog Prince."

"Hi, I'm sick to my stomach." Cherry rolled her eyes.

Atticus soon turned Rumpelstiltskin back to normal.

"Thanks, kid." Rumpelstiltskin told Atticus.

"Sure thing." Atticus smiled.

"Snow White, I am reformed, and now you have dragons," Evil Queen told Snow White. "Why, what fun we could have had together."

"What is she up to?" Mo whispered.

"No more games, Mother." Raven scoffed.

"You remember, Snow." Evil Queen smirked.

"We did have an epic rivalry, you vs me," Snow White smirked. "It hexcited the whole school! But now, your son is always buttering me up due to his infatuation with my daughter."

"Oh, he is, is he?" Evil Queen smirked back.

Crow hid behind Raven nervously.

"Oh, yes, he is~" Snow White replied. "He's always trying to butter me up so I'll let him date Apple White."

"Well, this is awkward for Crow now." Mo whispered to Atticus.

"Poor Crow." Atticus whispered back in agreement.

"What should we do?" Patch whispered.

"Laugh at his humiliation." Cherry smirked.

Sombra glanced at Cherry.

Cherry soon left without a word this time.

"Uncle Sombra, are you here?!" Atticus looked around until he soon felt his shoulder being tapped. Atticus turned around with a sharp glare. He could now see his so-called new friend.

"Problem, Atticus?" Sombra smirked.

"It was you all along!" Atticus glared.

"About time." Sombra smirked before changing into a full grown strong man.

"Why didn't I see this before?" Atticus face-palmed himself.

"You're losing your touch, nephew." Sombra teased.

"Why are you here?" Atticus asked.

"Oh, just helping out a friend of mine~" Sombra smirked as he came toward Evil Queen. "We both have something in common."

"The children we're close to refuse to accept their destines." Evil Queen added.

"Well, this changes nothing," Atticus said. "We'll still refuse to be evil."

"Don't give up so easily," Sombra glared. "You will accept your fate!"

"I will never accept you or the side of evil!" Atticus glared back. "When are you going to realize that?!"

"Yeah, you heard him, back off, Sombra." Cherry smiled nervously.

"It's because of her you won't listen to reason!" Sombra glared, gesturing towards Cherry. "If you hadn't become friends with her, you'd realize you were meant to run the Crystal Empire!"

"When are you going to realize that I am never going to rule/run the Crystal Empire for your evil purposes?!" Atticus glared, causing crystal spikes to appear.

"Why do you even like her anyway?!" Sombra asked. "She's so annoying, whiny, pathetic, and EMO!"

"She's a perky goth, you idiot!" Atticus glared as more crystal spikes grew. "And she's the best friend I've ever had!"

"Run." Cherry told the other Ever After High students.

"No, don't run," Atticus told her. "We'll settle this with the Dragon Games. If we win, Uncle Sombra, you have to leave with the Evil Queen."

"Alright, but if you lose, then you'll come back to my throne with me." Sombra smirked.

"It's a deal." Atticus replied.

"You know what?" Cherry asked. "We all know Atticus is gonna win in the end anyway, so what am I worried about?"

"Yes, but where is the one that freed Evil Queen?" Sombra smirked.

Spyro whimpered like a kicked puppy as he came outward.

"Spyro, is that true?" Atticus asked.

"Yeah, I'm sorry," Spyro frowned. "I didn't mean to, but Evil Queen made me mad."

"Yep, and he used his inner dragon power." Sombra smirked.

Spyro pouted.

"Did you mean to free Evil Queen?" Atticus asked Spyro.

"No, but she was trying to trick Apple White!" Spyro replied.

"She what?!" Crow glared.

"Aw, what's the matter, son?" Evil Queen smirked. "You worrying about your girlfriend?"

"Mother, I really don't like you doing this." Crow glared.

"Oh, come on, it was just a little push." Evil Queen smirked.

"Mother, I hate to say this, but... But..." Crow glared.

"What?" Evil Queen smirked. "Go ahead, say it, I dare you."

"Ah, Snow White, I think you should cover your ears as this is something you wouldn't want to hear." Drell said.

Snow White shrugged as she soon did as told.

"This is such a pity, what do you even know about Apple White, Crow?" Evil Queen mocked her son.

"A lot more than you do, you clod." Cherry muttered.

"Mom, I-I-I... I hate you and I wish you had never got free from that stupid mirror prison!" Crow glared.

Drell hissed only slightly, but winced as that was kind of cold.

"Crow, that was harsh!" Evil Queen told her son.

"I know, but I mean it!" Crow glared. "All you do is boss Raven and I around, trying to make us like you! IF I COULD, I'D SMASH THAT MIRROR!"

"I think we better leave them alone." Drell said.

"I hereby grant the Evil Queen and King Sombra a temporary pardon." Snow White told the others.

"Is now a good time for that?" Drell asked.

"Who is in charge here?" Snow White glared.

"I am, but there is a tense family crisis in motion!" Drell glared back.

"Why are you in charge of the Council?" Evil Queen scoffed. "Do you even have an heir to it?"

"Yes, but it's a secret when I choose to step down while Atticus's father is the King of Wiccans while Enchantra is the Queen of Witches." Drell dismissed her.

"Oh, very well." Snow White said.

"I still agree with Atticus's offer with King Sombra," Drell replied. "Prepare to lose since good always triumphs over evil."

"You should know that." Evil Queen smirked.

"Shut up!" Drell cringed as he didn't want anyone to know about that.

"Fine." Evil Queen smirked.

"Evil?" Cherry, Atticus, Mo, and Patch wondered.

"She's talking crazy," Drell smiled nervously. "I may be a brute, but I'm not evil."

"Are you sure?" Sombra smirked.

"Shut up, Sombra, no one asked you..." Drell replied. "I mean, it's not like I was Salem and tried to take over the world."

"No, but you did do something evil." Sombra smirked.

"We do not talk about that!" Drell replied. "That was a long time ago! Anyway, a bet's a bet, go back to Tartarus where you belong, Sombra!"

"Nope." Sombra smirked.

"Oh, if Athena was here, I'd make her make all these dragons eat you alive!" Drell glared.

"Um, Aunt Athena?" Atticus asked.

"Huh? Oh, no, not your aunt," Drell smiled. "Another Athena."

"Ohh." Atticus said.

"I'll make this quick," Drell replied. "Athena was a young girl mistreated by her Aunt Drizelda before time of The Harvest Festival, raised by the one called Kaldorf, and Athena opened up a home as a teenager for unwanted animals, and then found a baby dragon named Puffy."

"Aw!" Mo smiled.

"Yes, yes, aww, baby animals are sooo cute~" Drell rolled his eyes. "Now then!"

And with that, the Dragon Games were back on for Ever After High, mostly as a bet between Atticus and his evil uncle King Sombra. The students soon returned back to school, except for Apple as her mother offered her a ride, and where of course, there was still some tension between Crow and Evil Queen.
