AN: Okay, so I just found out that there are Ever After High books, and that I'm probably making up characters that already exist. If you read the books and are looking at the characters I've made and going 'stfu go away', I'm really sorry! I'm going solely off of the webisodes! Please don't hate me! TnT

"Hey, uh this is gonna sound dumb," Ingrid started, "but can I maybe sit with you and your friends at dinner?" Ingrid looked shyly up at her new friend, expecting the prince to say no.

"Huh? Why, don't you sit with Apple?" Ingrid crossed her arms, hugging herself tightly.

"Um, yeah, but they kinda threw away most of my lunch," she said, staring intently at her feet, "and you seem like you'd be more okay with me eating whatever - and not just 'cause you might eat flies as a frog! - but you just seem a little more, accepting?" She shrugged. "I dunno."

"I'll ask Daring and Dexter, but I don't think they'd actually mind," Hopper said, his hand on the back of his neck as he looked over at his friends' table in the Castleteria. Ingrid wrapped her arms around his waist tight enough that Hopper's spine cracked.

"Thank you!"Hopper looked down at Ingrid, who was smiling up at him and decidedly not letting go. Hopper's hands stayed up in the air in the gesture of surrender as he worried about where he was supposed to put his hands, and did his spine just make that cracking noise again, and wasn't this hug a little long?

"Umm-" In a puff of smoke the prince changed into a frog and dropped towards the floor. Ingrid quickly caught him, embarrassed that she had made her friend uncomfortable enough to turn into a frog. She laughed nervously.

"Sorry, my bad," she said before planting a kiss on her froggy friend's lips. In another poof, Hopper regained his human form. The two of them laughed nervously.

"I'll just go ask the guys about you sitting with us..."

"Okay, cool." Ingrid waved at Hopper's retreating figure, then smacked herself on the forehead. Note to self, tone down your freaking bear hugs.

When Hopper approached his friends, he was automatically at a loss for words. Daring'll rib me about having a friend who's a girl, or say no 'cause she's not a princess, or they'll get all weird about her kissing me on the lips to turn me back to a human - it's not my fault, I just forgot to tell her she didn't have to in order to change me back!- even though she's just my friend and-

Poof! Hopper landed on the ground and adjusted his lopsided crown. He hopped up to the bench attached to the Castleteria table, then onto the table. Both Charming brothers gave him confused looks, having only seen him walk up to the table and randomly turn into a frog.

"Don't tell me you've fallen for me, Hopper," Daring joked charmingly.

"Decidedly not," Hopper replied, to the dismay of a few nearby fairytale heroines. "I was simply trepidatious in regards to requesting that my new friend be permitted to sit here."

"Oh. Well sure," Dexter said. "Who is he?"

"She is Greta, the daughter of the fairytale heroine Gretel." Daring raised an eyebrow.

"Oh, so that's why you were worried about asking us, hmm?"

"Oh come on Daring, leave him alone," Dexter said, "this isn't the first time he's had a crush on someone outside of his fairytale, and you never bothered him about Briar."

"Why must you assume that I have romantic feelings for her? I do not!" Daring scoffed, and Dexter rolled his eyes with a smile. Cupid walked by their table, and took a quick longing glance at Dexter before Daring called her over.

"So Cupid, Hopper here seems to think he can fool Dex and I into thinking he doesn't like a certain girl, what do you think?" Cupid sat down across from Dexter and turned to Hopper.

"Hopper, why would you try to hide your crush on Briar? Everyone already knows about it."

"No, see this is a different girl, Cupid," Dexter said. Cupid clapped excitedly.

"Oh, I can't wait to meet her! Who is she? Is it serious?"

"Excuse me, I would appreciate it if my friends could perhaps stop making such wild allegations in regard to my relationship with Greta," Hopper said testily.

"Oh! Greta, I heard about her from Ingrid," Cupid sighed inwardly, relieved that she had gotten the switched names right. "She seems like such a sweetie!" Cupid turned to Hopper. "So, are you going to ask her out?"

"Certainly not," Hopper cried out indignantly.

"We think he already has," Daring said conspiratorially. Cupid squealed, bouncing in her seat.

"Oh, it's so hexellent that there's another happy couple on campus!"

"We are not. Dating!" If Hopper wasn't still a frog, he was certain he would have turned into one by then. He turned away from his friends and saw Ingrid approaching. "Would you three be so kind as to stop this speculation?" Cupid turned and saw the shy girl approaching. She smiled and picked up Hopper.

"Hi Greta, my name's Cupid," She said cheerily, "Hopper's told us all about you." The winged girl held the frog prince up to Ingrid.

"Oh dear," Ingrid said. Quickly, Ingrid placed her dinner tray on the table and scooped Hopper up into her palms. She placed a kiss on his lips before sitting down next to Cupid.

"It's nice to meet you," Ingrid said as Cupid and the two Charming brothers exchanged a vindicated look.

"So, I couldn't help noticing that you kissed Hopper on his lips," Daring said, smirking. "Is that a usual occurrence?" Ingrid looked at Hopper, who had head-desked as soon as Daring asked, and turned back to the blond prince.

"What, isn't that how you turn him back?"

"Well, it's certainly one way to do it." Ingrid stared back blankly, not understanding why the other fairytales were laughing.

"You only have to kiss me to turn me back," said Hopper, still with his head on the table. "It doesn't have to be on the lips."

"Oh," Ingrid put her hand over her mouth, which rounded into a perfect circle in surprise. "Well that's kinda embarrassing! Sorry, Hopper!" She then broke out into laughter, which everyone joined in with except Hopper, who kept his head firmly on the table as he simply grumbled, ''S fine'.

As Ingrid continued to laugh and eat with the princes and Cupid, she decided that no, the Royals were certainly not all bad.

AN: Writing human Hopper is hard, he has almost no lines in the webisodes. He seems like a really nervous person, so I tried to write him that way while not constantly so flustered that he frogs out. Tell me if I did well or poorly, and how I can improve!
