On the way back to Ever After High….
Raven held the map in her hand, letting Apple look at it too. "Oh great." Raven said, "We have to go through stupid Mirror Prison again." "But, remember what Jeannie Lamp said!" Apple said, "That she'd get us out of any trouble if needed." "Don't call on her yet." Raven said, "Not until an emergency-not until my mother starts toying with us. Got it?" Apple nodded. "Good." Raven said. The girls were on their way and sure enough there was the Evil Queen staring out her window of Mirror Prison, waiting to get revenge on her daughter and Apple White, but more importantly on her daughter-Raven Queen.
"Hmm..." She said, seeing the girls coming that way, "Back for more?" "No, Mom." Raven said, "We're just on our way back to Ever After High! What do you want?" "Ah, Raven." The Evil Queen said, "Feisty as ever after I see." Raven made an angry sound, when Apple calmed her down. Seeing the two get along even better than before made the Evil Queen even more angry. "So, what do we have here? This, of all fairytales, is your friend? Don't make me laugh! You imbecile! The daughter of the Evil Queen-my daughter would never be caught dead with a stupid girl like the daughter of Snow White! This is your last chance, Raven Queen! Or should I say Raven White!" The Evil Queen cackled loudly. She looked at Apple White. "So young and innocent. Apple White, the Fairest of Them All…...tsk, tsk, tsk." She used her dark magic to pick Apple up by her long blonde hair. "No!" Apple cried, "You can't do this! I don't care if Raven's your daughter or whatever after the hex she is! She's not evil and never will be!" The Evil Queen laughed. "Oh, I know that." She said, "That was her act ever after since she was born! She's an idiot, isn't she? Maybe she would like it if I did this!" "I would never like any harm that you to Apple and that's final!" "Oh, I'm scared. Fairy scared. See if you can get your stupid genie to answer now!" The Evil Queen was now holding Apple by the skirt of her dress. "Help, Raven!" Apple said, panicking. "I wish that we were back at Ever After High!" "Your wish is my command!" Said Jeannie Lamp's voice. With the wish, she released Apple back to the ground and brought them back to Ever After High. "You're welcome." They could hear in the distance.
At Ever After High, the girls were greeted with warm hugs and questions on where they have been. Apple shuddered at the thought that she had to deal with the Evil Queen holding her by the skirt of her dress. Was she to hexplain that to everybody so willing to see them back? Was she to tell them literally everything? Due to being back at school, were there still 12 left or did they automatically reset right after they entered Ever After High? There was one way to find out. "I wish to forget the recent incident." Apple whispered. Then, Jeannie Lamp granted it and all was well. The girls began to talk all about the School of Fairytales and Jeannie Lamp and how she was nice to them. "What do you think of Jeannie Lamp?" asked Blondie Lockes, "Do you think she went against destiny and went 'poof'?"
"That's what I thought at first." Apple replied, "But, I agree that she did go against destiny. I'm not holding that against her because in my heart I know that Jeannie Lamp is a kind-hearted and caring fairytale. She's a great friend. She chose to grant 15 wishes instead of 3 and it's not our place to judge. Royals, we have chosen to continue the tradition of Ever After High and follow in our parents' footsteps until Raven told us that it was OK to choose your side. We may have hexcluded her and didn't like her much at the time, but she is not evil and never will be. I have chosen to be a Royal, while I still have respect for the Rebels, mainly because you are all my friends. I don't care anymore if you are Royal, Rebel, hex, even Roybel!" She pointed to Poppy O'Hair, twin sister of Holly O'Hair. Smiling, Apple knew she was done. Headmaster Grimm was applauding Apple to a hextent which didn't seem like it was real applauding. He called Apple into the office and asked her why she sided with the Rebels-why she had gone against destiny and if she wanted to go 'poof'." "I don't side with them." Apple said, "I'm the daughter of Snow White for crying out loud! Why would I side with them anyway? Am I the crazy one here, 'cause I might be. I am not planning on going 'poof', I am planning to have my Happily Ever After still even without the villain in my story. Raven's choice was good, I know. I know because she saved me like a true friend and I will never forget that." "How do you know that you can trust Ms. Queen? She just so happens to be the daughter of the Evil Queen. She is meant to be hated and is not meant for these stupid acts of kindness. Your mission, Apple White, is to completely change Ms. Queen's mind, make her follow her destiny. It's a hard task because I have a feeling that this will get you nowhere, but you are the only one now who can do that. Save your own story in order to get the Happily Ever After that you know that you are destined for by the Storybook of Legends." "Headmaster Grimm, I have agreed with you all these years and I royally feel like the Royal vs. Rebels should stop. This isn't getting anywhere, either." "Apple White!" said the Headmaster, sharply, "You will make Raven Queen follow her destiny. You royally have no say in this. You have to do it in order to get your Happily Ever After." "Raven wanted her own Happily Ever After, why can't you accept that!? Everybody in the World of Ever After has the right to choose and I choose to follow my destiny, but if that means me having to force Raven into following her destiny, that's in the past. Haven't you ever after heard of-?" Headmaster Grimm cut her off. "Get out of here, Apple White! You are a disgrace to every single Royal at this school! Siding with the Rebels! Whatever after! If you think anyone will believe your fables, they won't as long as I'm here!"
When Apple had gotten out of his office, she headed to her dorm room, where she saw her roommate, Raven. "I have to admit." She said, "You had guts talking to Headmaster Grimm like that. Wow!" Apple had her head down and faked a smile. She just wanted to sit on her royal red apple bed and cry. So, she did. "Apple, is something wrong?" Raven asked, offering her roommate and best friend forever after a box of tissues. Apple refused the box of tissues and put her head into her beautiful, silky, white pillow. Raven patted Apple's back. "Please tell me what's wrong." Raven said, "It's not good to keep the feelings inside. I'm concerned about you." "Cut the act, Raven." Apple said under sobs. "What do you mean?" Raven asked, "I truly am concerned about you." Apple sighed. "I believe you, but nobody else does….. You're like a black sheep-an outcast-because you're nice and kind…. But, I don't know what I should do now. You're my only hope. Maybe I am a disgrace to the Snow White fairytale due to the that I never act like someone who is going to be the next Snow White…" Apple sighed and began sobbing more. "Apple, are you positive you're OK?" "Do I look like I'm positive!? I'm literally bawling my eyes out, thank you fairy much!" Apple shouted. "I-I didn't m-mean it l-like that!" Raven stammered, "P-positive meaning that um-are y-you sure you're O-OK?" Apple nodded. "Headmaster Grimm told me your intentions but I didn't agree. But, I guess I'm alright." She said, grabbing some tissues out of the tissue box. "Apple, you know that I have no intention of hurting you and becoming evil someday. Headmaster Grimm just likes to hear himself talk. He's never known life outside of being Royals, he's never known that life has different types of fairytales-the Royals and the Rebels. It's OK if you want to listen to him and force me to follow my destiny to get what you are destined for. But, this is your life, Apple. Choose what's best for you. You can still be the next Snow White and favour choice." "Then, I choose to be the next Snow White and still favour choice." Apple declared.
