The next morning soon came in the form of the company of Raven, Crow, and their friends from school. Raven and Crow towered over Atticus and Mo before the latter two slowly opened their eyes.
"Hello there, Romeo and Juliet." Crow smirked playfully.
"What are you two doing here?" Atticus asked as he rubbed his right eye.
"We were about to ask you two and Patch the same question." Raven said.
"We were looking for someone and then we got tired." Mo said before yawning.
"You two can sleep anywhere, it looks like," Crow remarked as he came to see Midnight. "Hey, boy."
Midnight soon came up to Crow and nuzzled his head against the boy's hand calmly and carefully.
"So, what are you two doing here?" Patch asked as he woke up.
"We're going somewhere our mother won't find us." Crow said.
"And you brought friends?" Mo asked.
"Just Darling Charming." Raven replied.
"Really? Cuz I see the O'Hair twins and Madeline Hatter." Mo retorted.
"And not just them," Atticus said. "I also see Ashlynn."
"We told her to come alone." Crow replied.
"What part of 'come alone' didn't you get?" Raven scolded Darling.
"Well, it might be dangerous," Holly replied bashfully. "So we thought you could use some back-up."
"Danger is my middle name!" Madeline proclaimed before she looked shy. "Well, actually, it's Xylophone."
Atticus, Mo, and Patch just blinked at that.
"Well... Thanks, you guys." Crow said to the other girls.
"We'd better get a move on," Darling suggested. "Everyone, grab a dragon."
"I'll get big and we can get going." Spyro said.
The girls soon went and got their dragons and were ready to go, but before they could, they soon heard dragon roars outside.
"What was that?" Mo asked.
"Possibly rogue and cruel dragons?" Atticus guessed.
"Like Garble?" Patch asked, rolling his eyes slightly. "I hate that guy."
"Um, you guys?" Ashlynn spoke up as she came out to see the others. "These dragons are pretty angry.
"This ought to buy is some lead time." Poppy said as she took a sack of dragon food and soon threw it right out the door.
The dragons then caught a whiff of the scent of food and started drooling before they soon suddenly devoured the food.
"Quick! While they're eating..." Atticus told the others.
"He's right, if we wanna leave now's our chance." Spyro said.
Everyone then took off as quickly and carefully as possible.
Faybelle soon flew in with her magic satchel, but noticed that everyone had already gone and taken off. "I'm too late! Bad dragons!" she then cried out.
One of the dragons then burped right in front of her face, making her grimace and groan.
At the school, the dark fairy girl soon went to tell the Evil Queen and Sombra what had just happened.
"They did WHAT?!" The Evil Queen and Sombra asked sharply as crows around the school started to fly away in fear from the exclamation.
"I just said, Crow and Raven ran off to the Enchanted Forest with Atticus and his friends from outside of Ever After High, right before you yelled 'They did WHAT?!'." Faybelle phrased and imitated their yelling at the end of her sentence.
"Honestly! Does that boy's stubbornness know no bounds?!" Sombra glared.
"And you call yourself a minion." The Evil Queen mocked Faybelle.
A dark storm soon started to form from outside upon the evil king and queen's rage.
"I've restrained myself because my children go to this school of fools," The Evil Queen continued before she magicked up a staff and soon walked outside onto the balcony in a deep and angered huff. "If Raven and Crow are gone, I declare school is out, for EVIL!" she then proclaimed before slamming the staff down to the floor, making a very large magic blast shoot throughout the school grounds.
The students who were outside soon began to yelp as they felt the ground underneath them shake as some roots start to come out of the ground while raising the school up as well as going into the school. The students began to run away and panic as even some innocent people were taken with the roots.
"Dad!" Ramona cried out as her father was taken and strapped down instantly.
"Ramona, save yourself!" Badwolf told his daughter.
Cerise soon came to their rescue, running and ducking under the looming branches. "Come on, help me get him free!" she then told her sister as she tugged on the branches.
Ramona then ran over and sliced the thorns with her claws.
"Haha! I love my daughters." Badwolf beamed before he soon hugged both Cerise and Ramona.
"Attention, staff and students; Headmistress Evil Queen and I have heard that Raven and Crow have abandoned Ever After High, so the Headmistress and I don't see any reason to keep up this charade," Sombra announced on the screen before facing Evil Queen. "Isn't that right, Headmistress?"
"Oh, but of course, Headmaster Sombra!" The Evil Queen grinned darkly as she used her dark magic. "Allow me to demonstrate!"
And so, by the powers of the Evil Queen's dark magic, Ever After High was lifted right off of the ground and it began to float during the wicked laughter of the two cruel villains as things looked dark and bad for the students.
"Oh, my cards!" Lizzie Hearts cried out. "We're trapped!"
"Due to our recent remodel, all classes will be cancelled and replaced with evil servitude." Sombra grinned maliciously as the Evil Queen cast her magic.
"But I was going ice skating later!" Duchess Swan pouted.
"Evil moms and evil uncles. Can't live with 'em, can't cross 'em." Kitty Cheshire remarked.
"Look on the bright side, you cannot beat this view!" Dexter commented.
The outside was soon shown that they were up really high.
Meanwhile, with the others, as they flew on their dragons...
"So... This is the Enchanted Forest..." Atticus commented. "Heh... Neat."
The group then got off of their dragons after riding them over into the forest. Darling soon walked all around the forest before gasping as she came over to a rustling bush.
"This is no time to stop and smell the flowers, Darling." Raven scolded.
"Yeah! We thought you knew a secret spot where we could hide." Crow added.
"I don't, but she does." Darling smiled as she gestured to the bushes.
"Who?" Crow asked.
A cute and adorable face was soon shown from the bushes.
"Aw! What's that?" Mo asked with a smile.
"A woodland pixie, how hexciting!" Ashlynn beamed as she took a closer look. "How do you do?"
The girl soon jumped out of the bushes and played with Ashlynn's hair a little bit.
"A woodland pixie?" Atticus asked curiously. "You mean like Tinkerbell?"
"Probably not exactly like Tinkerbell, but these pixies protect the Enchanted Forest," Ashlynn explained. "They're very magical."
"So I see." Atticus smiled a little.
The woodland pixie soon began to chirp and tweet, speaking in her own language.
"She says her name is Featherly." Ashlynn then translated.
Another woodland pixie was soon seen coming down from a tree as she began to start speaking in the same language as Featherly.
"Aw, who's that?" Mo smiled.
"And that's Deerla." Ashlynn introduced.
"She sounds like a chipmunk that isn't Alvin, Simon, or Theodore," Atticus chuckled. "Deerla, huh? I have a little sister named Darla."
Deerla soon chattered and came up beside Darling, using some magic on the teenage girl.
"She knows you're hurt, Darling," Ashlynn told the hurt girl as Deerla used her magic. "Deerla says, that should heal you."
"Wow! Good as new!" Darling beamed at that before she suddenly caught yet another woodland pixie with bunny ears who fell in her arms.
"And this is... Harelow." Ashlynn soon concluded.
"We better go to somewhere less out in the open." Poppy said.
"Yeah, because if we stay out here, no doubt the Evil Queen and King Sombra will see us if they send anyone to look for Atticus, Crow, or Raven." Mo said.
"Please, pixies, help us find a place to hide from those two." Raven softly begged.
The woodland pixies chattered and nodded as they understood the situation before running off to take their new friends somewhere to hide.
"I sure hope everyone's okay back at Ever After." Ashlynn sighed as they walked off through the forest with the dragons following.
"And Cherry wherever she is right now." Mo added softly in agreement.
"Well, with the Evil Queen and King Sombra from Equestria in charge, who can say?" Poppy remarked.
"Has anyone seen my brother Daring lately?" Darling asked, sounding a little concerned.
"I saw him at school lots of times, and at the dragon center, and once in a dream, but he was a goat." Madeline rambled.
"Well, wherever he is your brother must be looking into a mirror admiring his reflection." Mo said to Darling.
"Although in the situation they are in back at school, I'm not so sure." Atticus said.
"Why, Darling?" Poppy soon asked the girl. "Are you worried?"
"I don't like it," Darling defended. "It's not like him to misplace his hand mirror."
"Well, I, for one, am definitely worried about Cherry." Atticus confessed.
"Same here," Mo added. "She's part of our adventure family."
"Well, wherever they are we can only hope that they're alright." Atticus said.
Mo nodded softly and smiled at the helpful and kind woodland pixies.
Back in the Mirror Realm...
"There's gotta be a reason I was sent here too," Cherry said to herself. "Patch just wouldn't send me here against my will, he's not cruel... He's not that cruel, right?"
"Yes! I wouldn't misplace it, dear sister!" Daring soon cried out. "I'm misplaced in it! It's torture! AH! Let me out! This face was meant to be seen!" he then started to sob.
"And Mount Olympus has stories about how Narcissus can be." Cherry rolled her eyes at herself.
"Huh?" Daring blinked before he found a piece of chalk on the ground and began to draw on the mirror with it and admired his own work. "Hello, gorgeous. Ooh!"
"Uh, that looks nice." Cherry lied as Daring's drawing of himself wasn't that good.
"You really think so?" Daring asked.
"Why not?" Cherry shrugged as she looked around in the Mirror Realm. "Okay, Spot, you've had your fun. I had to cool down... Or whatever... But please... GET ME OUT OF HERE AWAY FROM PRINCE DOOFUS!"
Back at the school, many students, such as Alistair Wonderland began to hide in lockers as the Evil Queen and Sombra marched the hallways, along with their little helper, Faybelle.
"Faybelle, we need you to place dark dragons to guard every possible escape," The Evil Queen told the dark fairy girl. "Nobody leaves!"
"Then come back to us." Sombra added.
"Yes, Your Horribleness!" Faybelle obeyed before she soon flew off.
Humphrey Dumpty stood right where he was as he was scared to move as The Evil Queen and Sombra walked by him before someone grabbed him and pulled him over to one of the openings. And where it was Jillian Beanstalk as she brought out three magic beans before tossing them outside so then they could grow into a beanstalk.
"Come on!" Jillian told Humphrey.
Eventually, the ground began to rumble as the beanstalk started to grow after the magic beans were instantly planted.
"As my dad Jack always says, the trick is, don't look down!" Jillian advised the boy next to her.
Humphrey groaned as he looked afraid.
"Halt!" Faybelle announced on a megaphone as she arrived on a dragon's back, startling both Jillian and Humphrey. "This is restricted airspace! Please return to the floating evil school."
The evil dragon then breathed fire at them as a warning.
Meanwhile, with Apple in her room, as she was crying over what had happened in the dragon stables.
"Why the waterworks?" The Evil Queen smirked as she stepped into the girl's room as she had her teardrops falling onto a framed picture of both her and Raven together back when they were still best friends. "Upset my little birdies flew the coop? We'll get them back."
"Everything went wrong!" Apple cried. "This is not how I thought high school would be!"
"Chin up, Apple Cheeks. Any idea where your roomie went?" The Evil Queen smirked as she came up behind the teenage girl. "Perhaps she's hiding in the Enchanted Forest?"
"If I knew, I would tell her she was right about you and beg her to forgive me," Apple stood up with a glare as she stormed away from the wicked woman. "You've ruined everything! I was a fool to believe you'd changed, or that you cared about anyone's happily ever after but your own! Now the future of Ever After High is literally up in the air, and it's all my fault!"
"Aww... Poor pathetic Apple White, I think our deal is done. Tell you what; since you've helped me so very much, here's an apple from your teacher." The Evil Queen smirked as she made a poisoned apple appear in her hand before holding it out to Apple.
"Gross!" Apple gagged at the sight of the apple. "I'm not touching that! It looks poison!"
"Of course it's poison!" The Evil Queen glared like it was obvious as the apple went aflame. "One bite out of this, and you'll enter the next phase of your fairy tale."
"But I can't choose my enchanted sleep," Apple retorted before looking unsure. "...Can I?"
"Take it or leave it..." The Evil Queen retorted before making the apple disappear. "But you are leaving my school."
"I'm not going anywhere." Apple told her.
"Your usefulness has ended, consider yourself hexpelled!" The Evil Queen replied as she used her magic to push Apple out of the school.
Apple screamed as she fell and didn't expect that at all.
"Whoa! You hexpelled Apple right out the window?" Faybelle gasped as she soon flew over in amazement.
"Nothing happens by accident in my domain," The Evil Queen told her. "Apple just needed a push to find my little birdies in the Enchanted Forest."
Apple was still falling and luckily, she fell through the beanstalk leaves before landing on the beanstalk and then slid around before landing on the ground safely on her feet as she gasped and panted to catch her breath. "Whew! Okay! I'm okay!" she then said in relief.
"Ooh! Very impressive, Your Rottenness," Faybelle smirked. "How can I help?"
"You follow her, you foolish fairy!" The Evil Queen rolled her eyes. "Report back to me. She will lead us to my children's hideout and then we will capture her."
"Ah, and what about Crow and Apple?" Faybelle asked.
"Well, I do only need one of my children to follow the path of evil and rule with me and as for Apple, well, I did promise her her happily ever after," The Evil Queen smirked as she made the poison apple appear with her magic before giving it to Faybelle. "Here, take this."
Faybelle smiled darkly before catching the apple.
Apple soon made it over to the dragon stables and soon found her dragon, looking relieved and thrilled. "You are a dragon for sore eyes! Time to turn the page! I've got to find Raven and Crow, apologize, then get them to help me re-imprison the Evil Queen!" she then told her dragon.
Braebyrn smiled before looking over at the glass case beside them in the stable.
Faybelle was soon flying over in a hurry to the dragon stables, but she was too late as the doors burst open as Apple was about to fly away with Braebyrn. "Note to self: get dragon-proof armor..." she groaned to herself before collapsing.
After a moment later, Faybelle soon flew off, following after Apple. "I knew I should've gotten a dragon!" she then groaned to herself as her small wings weren't enough as she tried to catch up with Apple and Braebyrn.
Eventually, the girl and her dragon landed right in the middle of the Enchanted Forest as it was now nighttime.
"What is it, girl?" Apple asked as she noticed that Braebyrn seemed to notice something. "Do you smell something?"
Braebyrn soon sniffed in the bushes as the forest pixies soon popped out without Apple seeing or noticing.
"They could be anywhere," Apple sighed as the woodland pixies came out to see Braebyrn up close. "Oh, that's the trouble with enchanted stuff. What you're looking for could be right in front of you."
Braebyrn soon roared to Apple, getting her attention so she could see they had company.
"Oh, well, that seems like a sign." Apple smiled as she saw the woodland pixies.
"Ugh, pixies," Faybelle rolled her eyes at the woodland pixies. "Wannabe fairies."
Apple and her dragon were soon led to a waterfall by Harelow and Deerla. The two pixies jumped off at the sides of a tree bridge as they tried to show and tell Apple what to do, but the girl was just confused.
"Hello? This is no time for games, little pixies," Apple called out in concern. "I still need you."
Faybelle then went to try to get closer, but she gasped as her phone buzzed and she nearly dropped it before she then answered it.
"So, what's the bad word?" Sombra smirked as he was shown on the screen with the Evil Queen.
"Has Apple led you to my children, or am I going to have to turn you into a slug?" The Evil Queen added.
"Shh! You almost got me caught!" Faybelle shushed in a panic before she fumbled around for her phone only to suddenly drop it, making her groan in frustration. "Zap it! Well, this is just great. First I drop my phone, and then Apple disappears with those pixies."
Apple and Braebyrn soon went through a cave and found a clearing. There, the girl and her dragon saw pixies and a campsite and her friends there as they were having a great time together and where Crow was even laughing as he brought the firewood.
"Now, are you sure you can carry the firewood?" Raven asked her brother playfully.
"Yes, Raven, I'm sure." Crow smiled.
Apple walked a bit closer.
"I think that's enough too," Atticus smiled. "Excellent work, Crow."
Apple then gasped once she saw them in the forest campsite.
"Uh, guys? Maybe it's just me, but I think I see someone coming." Mo said as she took a look out a bit far away from their campsite.
Crow and the others soon looked to where Mo was looking and saw Apple.
"I thought you said this place was a secrete?" Raven asked Darling.
"Guys!" Apple cried out to the siblings.
"Apple..." Crow and Raven greeted bitterly.
"Should we step in?" Mo asked.
"No, I think we should let them handle this." Atticus told her.
Patch nodded as they decided to watch to see what would happen next.
"I'm sorry, I was selfish." Apple frowned as she approached them.
"Go on." Raven allowed as she crossed her arms.
"Your mom hasn't changed, I had, and now I want to change again; for the better, for good," Apple soon told them softly. "I know I can't turn back the pages, but I believe we can all have our happily ever afters, but not until we stop your mom."
Raven soon turned around and put her arm around her best friend. "And we will, my friend." she soon said with a small smile.
Apple smiled, happy to hear Raven call her a friend before looking over to Crow.
"Hmm..." Crow paused thoughtfully.
"Crow, I'm very sorry that I hurt you and your sister," Apple frowned softly. "I really should've known better."
"Yeah, you really should've," Crow nodded firmly. "Especially with how Mom gets."
"I'm very sorry," Apple frowned. "I promise that it won't happen again."
Crow looked at her before sighing. "...You are my sister's best friend... You're a good friend of mine," he said before blushing to himself as he mumbled so she wouldn't hear. "I wish to be more in the future," he then continued back in his regular voice. "But... I suppose I can forgive you... Just this one time." he soon said with a small smile at her.
"Thank you." Apple smiled back.
"Aww!" The other girls also smiled in admiration.
"The birds have landed. I repeat, the birds have landed," Faybelle soon said on her phone to the Evil Queen and Sombra. "Initiate Operation: Roasted Marshmallow."
"Faybelle, no need to speak in code," The Evil Queen replied before instructing. "Plant the poison apple. I'll send in the dark dragons." she then punctuated with an evil cackle.
Faybelle nodded and soon hung up her phone on that notion.
"Well," Mo said before yawning. "I guess it's getting kinda late."
"Yeah, it sure is." Atticus said.
"But before we get to sleep, should we get something to eat?" Patch suggested.
"Smart idea." Crow nodded.
"Let's have a nice quick dinner and get ready for bed," Atticus smiled before sighing. "I just hope that Cherry's okay."
Mo and Patch looked soft.
"Complaining about it being too hot... Or that the ground's too sore for her back... Wanting some air-conditioning or a WiFi password..." Atticus smiled sadly since he deeply missed his best friend, even if she complained a lot of the time. "I just hope she's okay wherever she is."
"I'm sure that she is," Mo said as she kissed him to calm him down. "Let's not worry ourselves sick though."
"Yeah, she's probably fine in that mirror that captured Daring's food after he said 'Capture'." Patch said.
"Mirror? What mirror?" Mo asked.
"And how do you know about that?" Atticus added.
Patch smiled sheepishly at first.
"Patch...?" Darling asked the dalmatian.
"I, uh, might have accidentally got Cherry sucked into the mirror to test my theory about the mirror Daring had." Patch smiled nervously.
"WHAT?!" The others asked.
"I just wanted to see if it worked!" Patch defended.
"...Is that all?" Atticus soon asked with a sharp sigh. "I mean, you didn't send her there just to be mean, did you?"
"No, of course not," Patch reassured. "I like Cherry, she's my friend."
"Well... I guess at least you had good intentions, but I wish you had said something earlier." Mo said as calmly as possible.
"Sorry, I was just trying to test my theory where Daring's food went." Patch said.
"She's probably gonna be really mad if she gets back out." Mo then said.
"When! When!" Atticus quickly said. "When is good."
"Oh, uh, right," Mo chuckled bashfully. "No worries, Atticus~"
Spyro soon began to yawn along with the other dragons.
"Well, I think the dragons should turn in for the night and we'll get some food... Somehow." Crow suggested.
"That sounds nice." Spiro smiled sleepily before falling asleep with the other dragons.
"As for the food, I think the woodland pixies will handle that." Mo said.
The woodland pixies soon went off as the dragons went to get some sleep and soon came back to offer food over to their new friends.
"Why, thank you, Featherly," Ashlynn said as she took some fruit from a basket as they sat around the campfire. "The pixies say if we plan to face the Evil Queen and King Sombra, we need to nourish ourselves." she then told the others.
"This is going to be fairy, fairy dangerous," Apple warned the others. "The Evil Queen and King Sombra have turned half our friends and all of the staff into creatures! The place is like a mile high off the ground, and surrounded by dark, dark dragons."
"Terrible." Mo frowned softly.
"Then we need our strength," Raven said before seeing the fruit basket and soon took an orange. "Oh, thanks."
Apple soon picked out an apple from the basket.
"Well, no doubt we'll need to keep the Evil Queen and King Sombra distracted long enough for one of us to trap either both of them or just The Evil Queen back in The Mirror Realm." Mo said.
"Something like that, yeah." Atticus nodded.
Faybelle smirked darkly from the bushes and soon waited to see that Apple soon bit into the fruit that shared her name before she suddenly coughed and looked very sick.
"Apple... You don't look so good." Mo said out of concern.
"Are you okay?" Crow added as Apple got up and walked around before she suddenly passed out.
"Apple!" Raven cried out before she took the apple before she gasped as it turned black and suddenly faded away. "Where did that come from?!"
"What kind of apple turns black?" Holly asked.
"Is she okay?" Madeline added as she suddenly woke up.
Apple's voice sounded like a whispering echo, but no one really heard or understood what she said except for Ashlynn.
"What did she say, Ashlynn?" Crow and Raven asked.
"She says how this fairy tale ends is up to you now, guys." Ashlynn told the siblings, a bit tearfully.
Crow and Raven frowned softly as they both began to cry a bit.
"We'd better check if she's breathing." Darling suggested before she lowered her head to Apple's chest.
"She should be awake, just asleep," Mo suggested. "I remember from when we met Snow White that we were put under a sleeping curse until Prince Ferdinand helped cure us."
Apple then let out a very loud snore which made Poppy, Madeline, and Holly all take a sigh of relief.
"She's breathing, all right." Poppy then said with a smirk.
"So all she needs is her prince to come and kiss her with true love's kiss." Patch said.
They all soon heard some dragons roaring.
"Please tell me that was our dragons." Mo begged.
Crow blushed a little at the mention of true love's kiss before looking over. "...Uh, I don't think so..." he then said worriedly.
Atticus sighed. "No doubt from Uncle Sombra and the Evil Queen." he then said.
Up in the sky, a trio of dragons circled in the air before Faybelle was shown on one of them. "Get Raven and Crow Queen!" she soon called out from the dragon she was riding on.
The other two dragons roared and soon swooped down to catch the siblings.
"Oh, come on!" Mo complained.
"Time that we send these dragons and evil fairy back where they came from." Patch said.
"I couldn't agree more." Atticus nodded.
"Let us handle this first," Crow suggested to Atticus, Mo, and Patch. "This is our mom after all."
"Crow's right." Raven agreed.
"They're all yours." Atticus said.
"Fire away." Mo added.
"Unleash the dark magic." Crow and Raven said together before their hands glowed and they began to use their special abilities to shoot up against the evil dragons.
The two dragons snarled as they were both hit by those blasts, but they kept swooping down for the siblings.
"Look out, Rae!" Crow warned as he jumped over, shoving Raven out of the way and they both missed the dragons that whooshed right beside them and kept flying around.
The dragons soon roared as they went past the siblings before coming right back as Raven and Crow backed up against a tree together.
The woodland pixies soon joined Raven and Crow's side before combining their magic together so the two siblings could cast a spell.
"Dark dragons that attack by night, We cast you out 'til morning light!" Raven and Crow recited.
The spell soon created a purple barrier, pushing the dark dragons out of the forest and back above to where Faybelle was. The dragons soon tried to shoot fire through the barrier, only to get hit back by the flames which made them whimper from the singes and burning before they flew away to retreat away from the campsite.
"No! Heel!" Faybelle called out as the two dragons began to fly away. "What are you, dragons or chickens?"
The evil dragon that Faybelle was riding started squawking like a chicken and nearly knocked the dark fairy girl off of it, but she luckily managed to grab its tail before falling off.
"We're coming for you, guuuuuys!" Faybelle then screamed out as they retreated into the night.
The forcefield soon disappeared as everyone was now safe and sound.
"Whew!" Mo sighed. "Thank goodness, they're gone."
"Yeah, but I think we have a funeral to prepare for." Raven said softly.
"Nothing's ever easy anymore, though I'm sure the solution to that will come soon," Atticus said to her. "We'll get some sleep and then do something in the morning."
"All right," Raven nodded. "I'm sure Apple will be safe after that spell that me and Crow cast."
The others nodded as well as they went to get some sleep for the night as Crow looked heartbroken at Apple's demise, similar to her own mother's fairy tale with the poisoned apple.
The next day a funeral was held in The Enchanted Forest as everyone was there to mourn for Apple as they each had a white rose to add to the flowers.
"Do you think she'll snore for years and years and years and years?" Madeline asked as her eyes started to well up before she then got nudged by Darling.
"I can't bear to see Apple like this." Ashlynn frowned.
"So she's really gone?" Patch asked emotionally.
"She's not gone, she's just waiting for her happily ever after." Darling clarified.
"B-But it could be hundreds of years before she wakes up!" Holly piped up.
"Where's Daring when we need him?" Ashlynn frowned as she placed her white rose close to Apple before Holly placed her white rose next.
"Yeah, where is Daring?" Darling asked as she placed her white rose next.
Meanwhile in the Mirror Realm...
"Okay... No one's coming back for me... No friends... No family..." Cherry said to herself as she rocked back and forth with wide eyes as she seemed to lose all sense of sanity. "Th-The walls! Are closing in on me... What am I going to do? HOW AM I GOING TO SURVIVE?!" she then cried out before looking to the floor. "Ooh... A Kit Kat bar..." she then said before picking it up, unwrapping it, and soon ate it up.
"Hello? Is someone there?" Daring cried out as he looked around away from where Cherry was. "Can you hear me? What's happening? All I can see is blonde hair! Darling!"
"Huh? You see something?" Cherry asked the young prince.
"Oh, i-it's Apple!" Daring realized. "APPLE!"
"Apple?!" Cherry asked before joining his side and saw Apple sleeping. "Okay, I might be wrong, but I think Apple might have eaten a poison apple, causing her to go into a deep sleep until her prince or true love wakes her up with a kiss."
"What makes you say that?" Daring asked.
"Oh, gee, I dunno," Cherry rolled her eyes in deadpan. "Maybe it's because she's Snow White's daughter and the same thing happened with her?!"
"Hmm... Perhaps you might be right." Daring said then.
Cherry face-palmed.
"You apologized to us, but I never got a chance to apologize to you," Raven frowned tearfully as she came over to Apple's sleeping body to pay her respects next. "I brought all this evil to Ever After High!"
"It wasn't just you, Rae, it was me too," Crow reminded as he looked very grave. "As soon as we realized we didn't wanna play our part, we should have run far away! To a place where nobody has even heard of the Evil Queen! Or Snow White! Or even fairy tales, at all. We were monsters!"
"I don't think there is such a place, unless wherever monsters come from or something, but whoever heard of a Monster High?" Madeline asked before starting to laugh with the sound of a record player stopping before stop laughing as she cleared her throat. "...Sorry."
Atticus, Mo, and Patch shared awkward looks with each other at the mention of Monster High.
"Guys, you didn't turn the school into a dark fortress of evil." Darling said to the siblings.
"We understand, guys," Ashlynn added. "We all know you don't wanna follow your mom's story. And we support your choice."
"We should have given into Mom from Chapter 1!" Raven soon said to Crow. "Maybe w-we could have led her to a land far, far, away!" she then gasped before taking his hand and went running off with him. "Maybe... Maybe it's not too late!"
"No, don't do it, guys; there has to be a better way." Darling told the two siblings.
"There has to be a better way," Mo added. "Giving into your mother won't wake Apple."
"That's what you want, isn't it? Only the right kiss will set her free." Atticus said.
"Atticus is right and that's Daring." Darling said as she brought out the mirror.
"So what do we do?" Mo asked.
"The only thing to do with that mirror," Patch replied. "Free Daring."
"Free Daring." The mirror repeated then.
Daring soon looked over at a bright green flash as he soon disappeared from the Mirror Realm and made it back outside of the mirror and ended up in the Enchanted Forest.
"Wait! Don't leave me here!" Cherry soon cried out as she groaned. "Arrrghhh! Sugar Honey Iced Tea!" she then cried out in anguish.
"Alright, now free Cherry." Patch then commanded.
"Free Cherry." The mirror repeated then.
The same thing happened to Cherry as she was back outside of the mirror and ended up in the same spot as Daring. Cherry blinked and looked all around.
"Cherry, you're back!" Patch smiled before looking wide-eyed. "Uh-oh..."
"You think Cruella de Vil is scary?! I'll show you freakin' scary!" Cherry glared as she soon began to chase Patch. "Come back here! I'm gonna make some Puppy Chow!"
"Well... This is a thing now." Crow said.
"Daring. That's where you've been!" Darling smiled at her brother.
"Don't look at me!" Daring panicked as he flinched and recoiled in horror. "I'm hideous! I was trapped in there without a hairbrush!"
"Rae, do you know what this means?" Crow asked as he suddenly got an idea.
"The mirror. That's it!" Raven realized as Cherry kept chasing Patch in the background. "The way to capture our mother!"
"Someone should have told the Evil Queen shattering a mirror brings bad luck." Darling smirked.
"You got that right." Mo added.
"There is no such thing as luck!" Cherry called out in the background. "Good or bad!"
