The next morning, Apple was in the castletiera having breakfast, trying her best not to move her arms too much.
"Hey Apple," said Briar as she walked up, placing a hand on Apple's right shoulder which caused the blond to pull away with a wince of pain.
"Girl, are you alright?" asked a worried Briar. A few others who were sitting around took a small glance in their direction before going back to their food.
"I'm good, I just did too much shopping yesterday with Cherrie," said Apple with a fake smile to try and hide the pain.
"Hey, do you have time to talk, in private?" asked Briar with an expression that told Apple that she did not believe her. The two then left without further word.
"Alright, what really happened yesterday, because I know you wouldn't be sore from shopping," said Briar as the two now stood in an empty classroom.
"Cherrie convinced me to get a tattoo," said Apple who knew she could not hide it from her for long.
"You did what?" asked Briar, her eyes going wide.
"I'm a fan of tattoo art, and I actually had a picture that I wanted as one," said Apple.
"Do I even want to know what you got and where?" asked Briar.
"It's just here on my right shoulder blade, which is why it hurt earlier when you touched it," said Apple as she turned around.
"Didn't Raven draw you something like this a few months ago?" asked Briar who had moved Apple's hair and collar of her dress to see the tattoo.
"She did, and you should have seen her hexpression when I told her I got it," said Apple who couldn't help but smile.
"So, Raven knows about this?" asked Briar.
"She knows I have a tattoo, not what it is or where it's located," said Apple with a mischievous smile.
"Dear Godmother, you have a crush on her don't you?" asked Briar with a stunned expression.
"Maybe," said Apple without dropping the smile.
"But I don't think the girl who is dating her dark fairy should judge," said Apple, causing Briar's jaw to drop.
"How… how do you know about that?" asked Briar as her face went red.
"At your last party you disappeared for half an hour and when you returned you had dark blue fairy glitter in you hair and Faybelle's shade of lipstick on your mouth, it doesn't take someone with Dexter's IQ to figure out where they came from," said Apple who was trying not to laugh at her BFFA's expression, which included a deep blush of embarrassment.
