A/N: And I'm back with a new chapter! I had nothing much to say, so let's get this new 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.
Later that day, Madeline leads Ed, Rolf, Alejandro, Sunset, Applejack and Rainbow Dash to the Beanstalk Bakery. The entire bakery is outdoors with a giant beanstalk as the base. There is a storefront with a large blackboard in the front filled with chalk-written specials on the menu. There is a small check-in counter at the storefront as well, complete with a small cupcake stand to the right side of it. Deeper in the bakery, there is an ordering counter with posters and special foods on a blackboard pinned up on the beanstalk. The entire area is surrounded with chairs and tables.
The seven enters the shop and began to look around, "So... where's Eddy?" Applejack asked.
Madeline looks around, "Hmm..." she hums when she spotted Eddy along with Cerise Hood, Cedar Wood and Raven Queen gathered at one table on the second veranda, "There he is!" she pointed out.
Upon setting sights on Eddy, the group of friends smiled in delight and relief upon seeing their friend again, "Eddy!" Ed cheered before running towards him.
Meanwhile at Eddy's table, all occupants are having a conversation, "So, Eddy, for the upcoming Thronecoming King and Queen, who are you going to vote?'' the daughter of Pinocchio asked.
Eddy looks up to her from his tablet, "I think... I'm going to vote for Raven Queen and Dexter Charming as Thronecoming King and Queen.'' he replied with a grin.
Raven blushed in response, "Really? Why?'' she asked in surprise.
"Why not." Eddy mused when suddenly they felt the ground shaking which cause to loose their balance, "Woah... earthquake or Tiny is doing another stationary jog?'' he asked in surprise.
"I don't think it's an earthquake or Tiny doing a stationary jog." Cerise replied.
"EDDY!" a familiar jolly shouted.
Ed's eyes widens at the familiar voice, "Wait a second? That's Ed's voice!" he exclaimed.
Eddy turns around, just in time for Ed to got in front, "EDDY! ED HUGS EDDY!" the tall teen cheered before engulfing Eddy in a tight embrace, "Eddy!" he cheered as his hugs tightens as Eddy's turn blue, "Eddy...'' he grunted hugging him tighter, his muscles expanding, "Eddy...'' he grunted louder as Eddy's eyes began to pop out.
"Hey, let him go! You're hugging too tight!" Raven exclaimed.
Ed let's go of Eddy dropping him off the floor, "Hiya, Eddy!" the tall teen greeted with a big smile.
Eddy slowly got up, shaking his head a bit before turning to Ed with a smile, "Ed! Am I glad to see you?!" he cheered, "Did you come here alone?'' he asked.
"Not only me." Ed replied.
"Eddy!" another voice called.
Everyone turns to see Maddie, Rolf, Alejandro, Sunset, Applejack and Rainbow Dash approaching them, Eddy let's out a bright smile, "Guys!" he called out in excitement.
"Look, look, Eddy! Your friends are here!" Maddie pointed out.
Suddenly, Applejack leaps forward and did something that made everyone gasped in shock and surprise especially Cerise as Applejack engulfs Eddy in a very tight embrace.
"S-Stetson?" Eddy squawked in shock.
Applejack hugs him tighter, "I'm so glad...'' she spoke with tears streaming down her face, "... I'm so glad that you're okay.'' she sobbed in relief.
Eddy's soften before placing a comforting hand on her shoulders, "I... uh... sorry...'' he spoke, "Sorry... I made you worry.'' he apologized as everyone watches them with a smile.
After that, the newcomers introduced themselves to the locals. Sunset then explained to Eddy that he's been missing for a week and that they discovered that he disappeared after falling into a well, so they decided to go through the well in hopes of finding him while the rest stayed behind.
"So, you guys are basically the children of famous fairy tale figures?'' Rainbow Dash pointed out, "Fairy tale figures that are considered fictional in our world." she clarified, "And there's a school called Ever After High where kids like you attend.'' she added.
Raven nodded, "That's about it.'' she confirmed.
"Huh? So, the fancy establishment called castle is actually a higher dungeon of education." Rolf mused, "Rolf is astound by the revelation.'' he admitted.
Ed then spoke, "I told you guys that fairy tales are real!" he exclaimed, "And Fake Science Monthly was right about them being real!" he said while bringing out a magazine called 'Fake Science Monthly' with a caption that says 'Sea Bears and Fairy Tales are Real!'.
Sunset rubs her forehead, "Ed... it says 'Fake' on the very title of the magazine, so of course, people won't believe it.'' she pointed out.
"Yet magic and ponies from another world exists." Alejandro chimes in.
"This and that is different." Sunset argued.
Cedar then spoke, "It was really nice of you guys that you would come over here to find Eddy.'' she pointed out, "However... you guys are now sharing the same problem as Eddy's.'' she stated.
Sunset nodded, "Madeline told us that Eddy has been finding a way to get back home but is having problems in finding the well.'' she stated.
"And it's getting into my nerves." Eddy grumbled.
"Magical wells are common around here." Raven spoke, "But they don't stay in one place for a long time, so I guess that's the reason why Eddy is having a hard time finding it." she explained.
"Rolf is confused." Rolf admitted while scratching the top of his head.
"So, what should we do now?'' Applejack asked.
Eddy crosses his arms, "Well keep finding the well.'' he replied, "However... if that remains futile, we need to find another way to get back home.'' he stated before smiling, "But at the mean time... I suggest you guys should relax a bit and get yourselves acquainted with everyone here.'' he suggested.
The new arrivals looks at each other before shrugging their shoulders, "Okay, Eddy, whatever you say." Sunset complied.
"So, what's going on around here?'' Applejack asked.
Maddie then spoke, "Oh! This week... Ever After High is going to hold a yearly Thronecoming event!" she exclaimed in excitement.
"What's the Thronecoming Event?'' Applejack asked.
"Thronecoming is an event where all the fairytales gather together to vote on a Thronecoming King and Queen." Cerise spoke, "There is float-building, a Bookball championship and the Thronecoming Dance where the Thronecoming King and Queen are crowned." she explained.
"Sounds like a homecoming." Rainbow commented, "Only a lot elegant.'' she pointed out.
"And majestic." Alejandro added.
"So, Eddy is going to attend that event?" Applejack asked.
"Well... Eddy is an exchange student from another world, so he is free to attend." Raven replied.
"Should we enroll Rolf and friends as well to this world's higher dungeon of education?" Rolf suggested.
Eddy shook his head, "Better not.'' he replied, "I think Ever After High can only handle one other worldly exchange student at a time.'' he stated.
Sunset nodded, "Good point.'' she said in gratitude.
"By the way... where are we staying while were here?'' Rainbow asked.
Maddie then suddenly stood up in such a dramatic way that if Rarity was here, she would feel equal parts of envious and awe-struck, "Oh! Oh! Oh! How you guys stay in my place?'' she offered, "We have a lot of spare rooms that is good enough for everybody!" she stated.
"Maddie's home is like a mad fun house." Raven mused.
"Are you sure?'' Sunset asked, "We don't really want to impose.'' she said.
"No worries, I'm sure my dad will welcome you guys with open arms!" Maddie reassured when an idea came into her, "Oh! I'll go ask him, right away!" she cheered before zipping out of the cafe and before anyone could utter a reply, Maddie zips back in the cafe, "My dad said yes!" she announced with a big smile.
"Wow... that was fast." Rainbow commented in awe.
Sunset sighed, "Well... then thank you for having us.'' she said in gratitude.
Maddie giggled, "No problem." she replied.
"Now you guys got a place to crash... the next thing you guys need is to find something to do while you're here.'' Eddy stated.
"You mean... like a job?'' Alejandro pointed out.
Eddy snaps his fingers, "Yes, thank you, exactly, a job!" he confirmed.
Applejack tips her hat, "But where we can find one?'' she asked, "One that suits for each of us." she stated.
Raven then spoke, "Let us help you guys with that." she offered with a smile.
Hours later, the group began to walk around the town looking for a suitable job for the newly-arrivals. After a few hours of searching, both Applejack and Rolf found a mini-farm where they can work while Sunset found herself a job at the shoe store that Ashlynn Ella works. Ed found himself working for the Wonderland Haberdashery and Tea Shoppe that Maddie and her father owns while Rainbow got a job at a local sports store that she honestly finds very different.
Sadly, they can't find a job for Alejandro, so he is stuck with doing nothing until they can get him a job.
"This sucks..." Alejandro grumbled in annoyance, "How come I'm the only one who doesn't get a job!" he complained.
"Don't worry, Al, we'll find you one." Sunset reassured.
Cerise then spoke, "I heard that Headmaster Grimm is looking for a new janitor for the school.'' she pointed out.
Everyone stopped their tracks and began staring at Alejandro, the Spanish-Arc villain facefaulted, "You guys got to be kidding me.'' he muttered in disbelief.
Meanwhile back in their home world at the Canterlot Cul-de-sac, Double D, Fluttershy, Pinkie, Rarity, Taro, Duncan, Jonny & Plank are gathered around Double D's household alongside Charity Belle, Cocoa and Blue Mountain while Laughing Zap and Blue Note went home as they don't want to get involve with whatever they're about to discuss.
And while the group doesn't mind Blue Mountain's presence, the others are still wary towards Charity and Cocoa, much to the master & servant's discomfort.
After serving them some tea by Cocoa, Double D spoke, "So, what is it that you want us to talk about?'' the sock-wearing egghead asked.
"And what do you mean that you know where Eddy and the other's whereabouts are?" Duncan added.
Blue Mountain then spoke, "First things first... do you believe in the Fairytale World?'' he asked.
Pinkie then spoke, "Which Fairytale World? A world where descendants of fairytale figure attends in one school or a world full of mages that works in a place called a guild?'' she asked with a smile.
Everyone stares at Pinkie as if she grown twelve heads as Blue Mountain let's out a cough, "Actually... the former." he replied, "Believe it or not... there exist a magical world known as the Fairytale World that is inhabited by figures from fairytales. It is a collection of numerous realms that each align with one or more fairytales. The entire world's existence depends on the continuation of the stories, which schools like Ever After High prepare each generation to do.'' he explained, "Pretty crazy world to believe, isn't it?'' he mused.
"After the things we've experience from the past weeks, we'll believe in anything." Tarou grumbled.
"So, why are you telling this to us?" Fluttershy asked.
Blue Mountain smiled, "Because I originally belong to that world." he claimed.
"HUH?!" the group exclaimed in disbelief and shock.
Blue Mountain then began explaining things by revealing that his real name is Thaddeus Grimm and while his brothers founded the Ever After High, he on the other hand became a researcher of anything that is related to magic. He then stumbles upon a broken mirror in an abandoned castle, he then discovered that the mirror is a portal to another world and with his curiosity getting the best of him, he enters through the mirror portal which leads him the world where Canterlot City is located but unfortunately for him, the mirror was shattered to pieces from the other side, leaving him stranded.
And with no way back to his world, he has no choice but to live in their world for the rest of his life. He would then began to working as a butler at the Belle Estate and over the years, he discovered that there is a way for him to get back home but he decided to stay, so he can continue to look after Charity.
Everyone listens to him in awe until Fluttershy spoke, "But... don't you miss your world and your family?'' she asked.
Blue Mountain nodded, "Indeed... I do miss my world and my family.'' he admitted, "But like I said, I decided to remain here, so I can continue to look after Lady Charity and gave her the utmost guidance that she needs.'' he stated which made Charity smiled a bit.
"So, wait?" Jonny spoke, "You said that you discovered that there is way to get back in your world?'' he pointed out, "That does mean it includes going back and forth from this world to the Fairytale World!" he added as everyone's eyes widen in realization.
Blue Mountain nodded, "It is what I came here for... to share you children my method of opening a portal to the Fairytale World." he declared.
And that's it for this chapter! Please look forward for the next one.
