And I'm back with new chapter! Sorry for the long delay but here it is, the first chapter of the True Hearts Day Trilogy! Nothing much to say anymore, so let's get this chapter started.
Disclaimer: I don't own Ed, Edd n Eddy and Ever After High and by extension, My Little Pony, Total Drama, Scott Pilgrim vs the World, RWBY, Dan VS. and Monster High.
Ah~ Our story starts of a dragon flying around with the sight of Ever After High seen at the distance.
"Welcome, fairytale friends to spring at Ever After High." the female narrator said.
"Where following their true hearts is the only thing on students' minds." the male narrator added.
The scene then changes at a large tree where two tiny fairies would magically blossoms a heart shaped fruits before picking it up.
"Royals with Royals, and Rebels with Rebels." the female narrator stated.
"Well, it may not be as straight-forward as that - look at Hunter and Ashlynn!" the male narrator pointed out.
The scene then changes below the tree where we see Hunter Huntsman and Ashlynn Ella. Hunter was carrying a large of woods before dropping it to the ground and began to work on it, turning the pile of woods into a small table, much to Ashlynn's awe.
The scene then changes at Ever After High where we see several students such as Cerise Hood, Cedar Wood and Eddy Skipper McGee walking around at the courtyard having a conversation at the same time.
The scene then changes at the school's entrance where Apple White is seen being courted by several boys, Apple giggled as she began to dance her way in as the boys merrily follows her. Duchess Swan then enters the hall expecting to be courted only for the youngest of the Three Billy Goats Gruff to greet her with a flower, much to her annoyance.
The scene then changes at the Castleteria, where we see Raven Queen approaching one table, the girls sitting at the table saw her and ran away in fright. Raven sat down the table in disappointment as Dexter Charming enters the place. Dexter saw her and brought out some flowers, C.A. Cupid saw this and thought it was for her but Dexter ignores her, much to her disappointment.
As Dexter approaches Raven, another girl approaches him with scissor in hands. The girl has teal eyes and wavy black hair with red streaks, she also has a red heart that she paints over her left eye. She wears a red Elizabethan collar with hearts on the side. Under it, she wears a black, red and yellow dress. The top part of it has two parts of a heart coming out of each side of her top. Under it, there is a yellow heart with small victorian and royal patterns underneath. She wears red gloves with black edges with heart-shaped holes trimmed in each space. Her skirt of her dress contains two layers of skirt. Most of the layers there contain a checkered-pattern of red and yellow tiles. She wears black stockings with heart shapes on them. She wears red shoes with the buckles on it being cards. She accessorizes with yellow heart earrings, with three strings coming out of the stud. She also wears a small ring that resembles a deck of cards. She has a red heart-shaped hand bag with a yellow buckle. This is Lizzie Hearts, the daughter of the Queen of Hearts.
Lizzie then snips the flowers with her scissors, "Off with their buds!" she said before walking away.
Dexter facefaulted in annoyance before walking away, Cupid tried to call for him but he's long gone.
"It seems that hearts and destinies don't always move in the same direction." the female narrator stated.
Later that day, we go to the Lifairy where two women watches over the place. The first woman has reddish brown streaked hair that she wears high on her head with whispers of hair hanging around her face. She wears red pointy glasses over her brown eyes and she is very slender. She wears a red, opened neck patterned dress with a high black pleated collar and three quarter length sleeves. She wears a wide lavender and lilac dragon scale design belt with a gold buckle. Her jewellery is a black choker necklace with a drop purple pendant and a skull and crossbone pendant on her large gold beaded necklace. She has long pointed nails. The second woman has brown streaked hair that she wears high on her head and large thick coils of hair either side of her face. Over her brown eyes she wears half rimmed round red glasses and she is very slender. She wears a purple patterned, peplum, high neck top with a black striped skirt and a wide dusky red toned striped belt with a gold buckle over her top. She wears a purple bead bracelet on one wrist, a purple wide beaded bracelet on the other wrist with two gold slave bangles and green ring in the shape of a book worm. Her necklace is gold with large red drop stones. She has long pointed nails. This are the Evil Step-Librarians.
Cupid is seen doodling at one of her and Dexter, "Cupid and Dexter Charming. Ohh. Cupie... And Dexie!" she said dreamily.
Dexter then arrives and drops some books on her table, "Hey, Cupid!" he greeted, "Anyone sitting here?" he asked.
"Yes... I mean, no!" Cupid exclaimed, "No one is sitting there and yes, you should sit there!" she stated.
"Thanks." Dexter said as he took a seat.
"Sshhh! QUIET IN THE LIBRARY!" the first evil step-librarian demanded with her sister nodding in agreement.
"The Evil Step-librarians are so wicked." Cupid whispered.
"Yeah, last week, they made me re-catalog the entire forbidden book section." Dexter replied as Cupid let's out a giggle.
"Sshhh!" the evil step-librarians hushed at the same time.
"Well, look what I found." Dexter claimed as he brought up a book.
Cupid let's out a gasp as she grabs the book, "The History of True Hearts Day!" she exclaimed in awe, "Thanks, Dex! You are such a sweet-" she tried to say but was interrupted when two yardsticks were slammed on their table.
The Evil Step-librarians pops out between them, "Sshhh!" they hushed.
Cupid is overjoyed and immediately heads to Headmaster Grimm's office to convince him to return the holiday to its glory of years ago. Headmaster Grimm, however, refuses to do so, calling the holiday dangerous because it doesn't fit with the pro-destiny philosophies of the school. Though he fails to take the book from Cupid, he forbids her to talk about it with anyone.
Intimidated but not easily shaken from her goal, Cupid meets up with Briar Beauty and shows her the book, "True Hearts Day? I don't get it." Briar admitted.
Cuoid let's out a sigh when she got an idea, "Charades!" she said as she began to do a series of hand gestures and body movements.
"Forty-eight words! A holiday that used to be spellebrated in the fairytale world that encourages us to follow our true hearts' desire, but, Headmaster Grimm doesn't want anyone to know about it, but you think we should spellebrate it anyway and throw a secret underground True Hearts Day dance?" Briar said, "Why didn't you just say that?" she asked as Cupid sat next to her.
"Cause, Headmaster Grimm told me not to say anything!" Cupid replied.
"Secret dance? What if Grimm catches us?" Briar pointed out in concern.
"He won't! Come on, it'll be happily ever awesome!" Cupid egged.
Briar smiled, "I do throw the most hexcellent parties." she claimed.
Cupid then stood up triumphantly, "Yay! We're having a secret True Hearts Day dance!" she cheered loudly which echoes all across the school, catching everyone's attention.
Briar then grabs Cupid by the arm, "Um, you might not wanna shout that, you know, being a secret and all." she advised as she pulls Cupid behind the curtain when they encountered Eddy.
"Sup, girls.'' Eddy greeted, "I overheard you girls are planning a True Hearts Day dance." he pointed out, "Anything I can do to spice things up?'' he asked.
Briar nodded, "Sure! You could sing at the party.'' she replied with Cupid nodding in agreement, "I really enjoy your singing at the last party. But as much as I love Iris and Black Balloon, I think you should sing something new.'' she stated.
Eddy nodded, "Sure! I had a lot of songs from my archive that will knock you down on your feet!" he claimed with a grin.
Meanwhile down in the Enchanted Forest, we saw Sparrow Hood skidding around the area, wildly strumming his electric guitar.
"Sparrow! He's the hottest guy-oh!" Sparrow sang, "In the fairytale-whoa!" but he was interrupted when Duchess grabs him.
"Stop that!" Duchess exclaimed, "Come on! They went this way. I'm finally gonna get some proof!" she exclaimed in glee.
"Why do you even care?" Sparrow asked.
"I care 'cause it's not fair!" Duchess replied, "Ashlynn is breaking the Royal rules with her secret romance, but she still gets a Happily Ever After and I don't!" he exclaimed.
"So, you got a plan?" Sparrow asked, "I mean, it's not like we're just gonna find them in some romantic mo..." he tried to say but stop when Duchess pulls away some plants, "...ment." he said when he saw Hunter and Ashlynn together under a tree around a small pond.
The two then crosses the water and upon arrival, Duchess wasted no time bringing out her MirrorPad and began taking pictures of the two, "Say cheese!" she aid with a grin, surprising the two.
"Huh? Ah, curses!" Hunter groaned.
"Oh, hey Duchess! Sparrow! We didn't see you!" Ashlynn greeted in panic, "What's...goin'...on?" she asked nervously.
"You two are totally busted!" Sparrow sang loudly while strumming his guitar, making them cringe including Duchess.
Duchess the smiled as she got in between the two, "Ashlynn. Hunter. I think the real question is, what are you two doing here?" she asked, "Having a secret romantic rendezvous?" she pointed out.
"We gotta find a better place to picnic." Hunter stated.
"Pleeease! You two can't tell anyone Hunter and I are secretly dating!" Ashlynn pled.
"Um, yeah, wow, well... I'm gonna!" Duchess replied, "Ash, this is gonna knock you down the Royal rankings! But don't worry, I'll take your place! And your Happily Ever After." she said with an evil smile as she walks away.
Hunter held Ashlynn's hand in comfort as Sparrow spoke, "Bummer." he said, "Princess-to-be, ow, whoa-whoa!" he singed while strumming his guitar.
"Stop that!" Hunter, Ashlynn and Duchess demanded, Sparrow strummed his guitar once last time with a cheeky grin.
Back at Ever After High, we see Daring Charming, Cedar Wood and two more boys at the hallways as they watches Cupid to her radio show on a mirror screen. The first boy has bright green eyes, freckles, and dark red hair. He wears a white shirt with a formal tie under his pink formal vest and red jacket with the same patterns, in different laid-out patterns. His jacket has a black tux collar. Hopper wears light brown knee-length shorts and he accessorizes with a frog prince crown and a yellow pocket hanker-chief. This is Hopper Croakington II, the son of the Frog Prince.
The second boy has golden blonde hair and brown eyes. He wears a navy blue peaked cap, a green coat over a lilac shirt and an orange neck kerchief. He also wears three quarter length brown trousers with braces to hold them up and yellow clogs with lace detail. He carries a rucksack on his back and also wears a silver ring on his right hand that resembles a bolt. This is Dutch Boy, son of the Hero of Haarlem.
Dexter can be seen hiding behind a large root as Cupid began her show, "Now, my lovetale friends, this is the part of the MirrorCast where I try to solve your romantic problems!" she announced, "So, Fragile in Fairyland, what's in your heart?" she asked as she looks at mirror with a pixelated face of her caller.
"Um, well, uh, I-" the caller replied.
Cupid gasped as she recognized the caller, "Dex!" she whispered.
"I kind of...eh, no, I do, I do have a crush on this girl named Raven." Dexter admitted.
"Raven Queen? You have a crush on Raven Queen?" Cupid asked sadly while everyone gasped at the revelation.
"I mean, Rachel! Rachel, yeah, I like a girl named Rachel." Dexter exclaimed.
Cupid sighed, "Okay. Rachel. So, you like her, what's the problem?" she asked.
"We-Well, whenever I'm around her, I get really, huh, tongue-tied." Dexter replied.
"Huh... Okay. Heh, look. How about putting down your feelings on parchment?" Cupid suggested.
Dexter then stood up, "That is a great idea! I'll write her a love po... em... Erm." he said but noticed that everyone is looking at him, he then let's out a cough, "Ehem... huh. Thanks, Cupid you're the best, bye." he said in gratitude before breaking into a run.
Cupid sighed again, "No... problem." she replied in disappointment.
Meanwhile at the Glass Slipper store, we see Ashlynn sitting on line of large cub cushioned seats thinking her situation over when Apple enters the store.
"True Hearts Day!" Apple mused as she sat next to Ashlynn, "Aren't you just totally hexcited?" she asked, "It used to be such an important holiday on the Royal Calender. Ah, love. Finding our pre-determined princes." she said.
"Um, sure, yeah." Ashlynn replied softly.
Apple noticed the distressed look at her friend's face, "Oh, sweetie! What's wrong?" she asked in concern, "You can tell me, I mean, we are friends forever after." she said.
"I'm not sure... you'd understand." Ashlynn replied.
"What? Is it...boy trouble?" Apple asked with a smile.
Ashlynn then stood up, "Oh, wow! Hey, I am thirsty!" she exclaimed changing the subject, "Um, I'm gonna go get us a couple hocus lattes! Double foam, extra apple caramel, right?" she said before leaving.
The a giant troll lady approaches Apple. The Troll Lady wears a brown handmade top and brown handmade skirt. She has long, dark purple hair and brown/grey skin. Her eyes are brown and she wears small hoop earrings, red lipstick and has long eye lashes. She has uneven teeth.
"Egh! You work here?" the Troll Lady asked, "I want these in a size 74!" she said pointing a pair of orange heels on her toes.
"Oh." Apple replied.
Back at Ever After High, we see Dexter approaching Raven's locker with a letter in hand.
"And so, Dexter finished his True Hearts Poem for Raven. Now, he just had to wait for a response." the male narrator said.
Dexter then placed the poem on Raven's locker, he then noticed Raven and Madeline Hatter approaching so he quickly hid behind a large root.
Raven then picks up the letter using her magic, "What's this?" she asked as she began to read it, "I-it's a love poem." she stated.
"Ooh! A secret note!" Maddie cheered, "Is there anything more hat-tastic!" she said with a smile.
"But, who's it from? "D. Charming"?" Raven read.
And with awfully right timing, Daring walks towards them, "Ha ha ha ha ha ha. Ladies." he greeted them with a smile while Dexter gasped, realizing his blunder.
As Daring continues his merry walk, Raven spoke, "Daring? I had no idea he felt this way." she said with a smile.
Daring then walks by Dexter, ''Sup, brother?" he greeted while patting and shaking his hair, messing it.
"Oh, gort." Dexter grumbled as he watches Raven and Maddie walks away.
"Love is very..." the male narrator trails.
"Complicated!" the female narrator said.
"Yes, complicated." the male narrator said in agreement.
And that's it for this chapter! Sorry if Eddy didn't get much screen time but this chapter and the next one are mostly a build up for the third True Hearts Day chapter. Anyway, please look forward for the next one.
