Chapter 2: An Unexpected Event

Narrator P.O.V

After Princessology class, Crystal walked back to her dorm room. She slowly pushed open her white door. She gazed inside the room. On her side of the somewhat medium-length room, was a queen-sized bed (pun intended), an ebony bedside tabled with a lamp upon it; on the ceiling hung a crystal chandelier (pun intended...again). On the far side stood a large, and I mean large-Oops. Narrators aren't supposed to say 'I'. Ahem. -stood a large sky blue wardrobe, with delicate patterns carved into the wood.

"I asked Hunter if he would carve those for you."

Crystal, startled, nearly jumped out of her boots, and turned around to see Bluebell sitting on her own queen-sized bed with flower patterns stitched into the blanket, and squirrel stuffies sitting on the pillow.

"Bluebell! I never noticed you there."

"Hi to you too Crystal. I knew you liked snow, so I asked Cedar to paint your walls white and your wardrobe blue, and Hunter to carve those designs."

"Thanks Bluebell."

"No prob."

"So, how long have you been here?"

"Oh, since the first time in forever." Bluebell smirked. Crystal blushed a little.

"Oh, come on Bell. Stop teasing."

"Okay, okay. Iv'e been here for the past hour."

"So, you skipped class."

She shrugged. "Environmental Magic can be boring sometimes. They didn't even notice I was gone. Besides, I already know all the stuff they're teaching right now. They're taking it 'slow and easy', as the teacher put it."

"Okay, if you say so." Crystal said. "We should probably head to the Castleteria. It's lunch now anyways."

"Okay." Bluebell hopped off the bed and headed for the door, Crystal following closely behind her.

"Sorry for interrupting your lunch hour kids. Would all students please head to the Grimmnasium, all students to the Grimmnasium, thank you." The school intercom crackled off.

"What do you suppose this is all about?" Crystal asked Tressa.

"I have no idea. Maybe an announcement of the school rules?" Crystal glared at the black-haired girl. "What, it could happen."

"Whatever. Let's just get to the Grimmnasium." Pierce said.

Narrator P.O.V

"Hello students. I am deeply sorry for interrupting your lunch period. I hear the cook did an excellent job in preparing it." A few kids snickered at that remark. "However, that is not the reason I have called you here. As you already know, the Royal Rebel fiasco is getting dangerously out of hand." Apple White and Blondie Lockes glared at Raven. She didn't even flinch. "That is why I have decided to host a party at Ever After High."

"A party!? Sweet!" Said a certain daughter of Sleeping Beauty, jumping out of her plush pink chair, and pumping her fist into the air.

The Headmaster cleared his throat. "Miss Beauty, please do not call out in the middle of the assembly."

"Sorry Headmaster Grimm." Briar lowered herself back into her chair.

"As I was saying," the Headmaster continued. "The faculty and I will be hosting a Winter Ball. It will be the biggest school party in the last five years. I will need volunteers to help with the party planning."

Briar's hand immediately shot up into the air at the same time she stood up out of her chair and knocked it over in the process. "I'll do it Headmaster! I'll do it!"

"Miss Beauty, I understand you enthusiasm, but I have someone else in mind. If they are willing to let you help them, you may, but, if not please restrain yourself from interrupting their work."

"Yes, Headmaster." Briar replied.

"Thank you. As for who is in charge of planning the ball," His eyes scanned the crowd. "I would like one of our newest students to be the head planner." His eyes came to rest on a shy, blond-haired girl in the back of the mob of teenagers. "Crystal Ice will be in charge of the party."

All eyes turned to Crystal. She slowly lifted her head. Her lightning coloured eyes had a questioning look in them. Anyone close enough to her could see that.

"Why?" It was barely audible. A simple question, one many asked, but it shocked Milton.

"Why? You dare ask me, Milton Grimm, why!?"

"Yes." She was so quiet. The Headmaster had to stain his ear to hear it. "I don't see why it's a problem. I only asked why. I didn't mean any offence."

The Headmaster seemed to relax. "Very well. But please, for your own sake, plan the ball. Think of it as embracing your Destiny. Your story involves winter; it is a Winter Ball. It makes perfect sense." He returned his gaze to the rest of the crowd. "The ball is in three weeks. Please be ready for it." With that, he turned around, and walked away.

"So, Crystal, how do you feel about all this pressure?" Raven asked.

They were in the school library, talking about the events that had just transpired.

"Well, it's a lot to take in. It would be easier for you; you're used to this sort of thing."

"Oh, I wouldn't say that. No body would choose me for anything. They don't think the 'daughter of the Greatest Evil There Ever Was' is the right person for this kind of job." Raven replied.

"Well, I guess I'll just have to do my best. Not that I'll be any good at it."

"Why do you say that?"

"I mess everything up." Crystal said darkly.

"Well, I haven't seen you mess anything up in the three weeks that you've been here, so I think your safe." Raven tried to cheer her up.

"I guess." Crystal answered.

Riiiiiiiinnnnnggggg!

"Well, there's the bell. Later Crystal." Raven left the library with a wave.

"Yeah. Later." Crystal muttered.

Well, there's the chapter! Sorry again for not updating sooner! I've been really busy with school, and I only have time to update on Thursdays and Fridays (usually). As usual, favourite, follow, review! Also, I may or may not be updating my other fanfic Star Wars the Clone Wars: Ahsoka Returns. Bye!
