The next day, Ever After High is adding the final touches to the welcome ceremony for the new students. Apple White and her best friend, Briar Beauty, are wrapping bright-colored streamers to the many trees around the school, and Raven Queen and her "mad" friend, Madeline Hatter, are keeping an eye on the preparations, well, mostly Raven. Maddie seems busy conversing with the narrators. Raven gives a smirk at her friend, knowing she's just being "Maddie". Near the entrance of the school, Dexter is still checking out the website comments and seems a little muddled with the user's name.
Dexter Charming: It just boggles me. First Cleo de Nile, than Ghoulia Yelps.
He gives a sigh, knowing this is one mystery he cannot solve.
Dexter Charming: Maybe if I just-
Raven Queen: Hey Dexter!
Dexter Charming: RAVEN?! *coughes* Hi. Um, hi?
Raven carries on with her question, with a disturbed look on her pale face.
Raven Queen: O...K.. Anyways, the new kids are gonna be here any minute now. Can you PLEASE get everyone together?
Dexter Charming: Well sure I would love to, but, why can't you?
Raven Queen: I have to get the banner up and make sure that a CERTAIN SOMEONE doesn't try to steal someone else's story!
Dexter and Raven turn their heads, to find Duchess Swan hanging out by the fountain, giving a bewildered glance back at them
Duchess Swan: What?
Raven Quen: *sighs* I'm gonna go get Apple.
Dexter Charming: No problem Raven. You have nothing to worry about! Nothing at all! Dexter Charming has this, under control!
Raven leaves the entrance and heads near the fair grounds, where Apple is now discussing the plan with Blondie Lockes and Ashlynn Ella.
Apple White: And that's why the new kids should sit RIGHT in the center of the castleteria.
Blondie Lockes: Good idea Apple. Now just one more question. Who do you think the students' parents are?
Apple White: Well you never really know. You never know what to expect, all I'm hoping for is that they're kind and generous to all! And I also declare that these new fairytales will have the best welcome party this school has ever see-n!
Suddenly, Raven, having learned teleportation with her magic training, appears before Apple and forces her to shriek, giving Ashlynn and Blondie a major headache.
Raven Queen: Apple! They're almost here!
Apple White: What?
Minutes later, everyone is gathered around the school entrance, some are practicing their jazz hands while others prefer to welcome them with cartwheels.
Apple White: Okay everybody. First impressions. Remember, we want them to feel home. Besides this is a boarding school so it technically IS home.
The crowd starts to cheer at Apple's "speech". Suddenly, a car with a skull face on it drives up towards the staircase. The fairytales lean forward, even Humphrey Dumpty. They aren't able to see them, because of the black dyed windows, however, they DO notice the appearance a bit. One of them having a anchor-looking accessory through their neck it seems, and one appears to have dog-like ears growing from their hair. Raven and Apple seem a bit disturbed with that look.
The car door opens, and the atmosphere intensifies. Maddie starts drinking her 'patience tea' with her mouse friend. A pink heel comes out from the door and touches the concrete. The students gasp, and Humphrey faints at the sight. The car drives away, leaving the three at the bottom of the stairs, with suitcases in their hands. Apple White takes a deep breath, along with Raven, and slowly walks down, greeting them to Ever After.
Raven Queen: *clears throat* ...Hi...
Apple White: Welcome... to Ever After High. Um, and your names?
Frankie Stein: Frankie Stein.
Draculaura: Draculaura.
Clawdeen Wolf: Clawdeen Wolf.
Frankie Stein: ...Who, are you?...
Apple White: ... *nervous* Apple. Apple White.
Raven Queen: And, I'm Raven Queen.
Draculaura: ...Nice, to meet you...
Apple White: You too...
