"Magic mirror, may I ask you something?" "You may ask me anything, Apple. You know that." "Yeah…" she said, "Silly me." She glanced back at Raven who gestured for her to go ahead. The princess cleared her throat. "May I get directions to the School of Fairytales?" she asked. She hesitated. 'What if I don't get an answer at all!? She thought, 'Then, what will happen to my story-my happily ever after!?' To her surprise, the magic mirror answered.

"Right past Mirror Prison." Said the magic mirror. Apple gasped, looking to Raven for an hexplanation even though she was well aware of what was ahead. Raven hesitated, then finally spoke. "My mom is there." She said, "And she probably hates you-. I royally hope we don't run into her." "Right" Apple said, "You of all people don't want to run into your mom because she is capable of making you into the Evil Queen you're meant to be." Raven nodded. "Somewhere along those lines." "I don't believe it." Apple said, "Right next to Mirror Prison. I knew something was fishy about this. I'm not going. I'm not falling under your trap." "But it's not a-." Raven said, "I'm not doing this for my mother, I'm doing this for Jeannie Lamp. And somewhat for Ever After, so hang in there. I know we can get through this together."

"You don't have to do this, Raven. I know who you royally are. Just follow your destiny even more and we'll be fair and square. Give me the poison apple so I can fall asleep until Daring finds me and kisses me-like you were meant to do. Cut the nice act, Raven. It's not what you're meant to be."

"I don't care who I'm meant to be." Raven said, "I just want you to be happy as well as all the others at Ever After High. Even after treating me rudely, I still consider you a friend because fairytales make mistakes, too. Just suck it up and accept that you're not perfect and neither am I-nobody in the World of Ever After is. And I'm deeply sorry if you cannot understand that. After all, I am the daughter of the Evil Queen. I'm practically shunned all the time so it doesn't bother me one bit. Not only just a little, so lay it on me. All I want is to help a fellow fairytale so if you could return the favour and help me out for once upon a time, that would be great. Thank you, Apple, for listening to my long lecture. Thank you." Apple nodded.

"You're welcome." She said.

"Now, we have to go to the School of Fairytales." Raven said, "Just follow my lead and I won't let anything happen to you."

Apple hesitated once upon a time again. "OK." She said.
