A/N: So here's Daring and Lizzie! It's kinda short, but I was running out of ideas.
Enjoy!
Lizzie walked into her dorm, just wanting a long, hot bath and sleep. She knew Duchess was at some...concert or shindig with Sparrow so silence would finally fill her ears. Lizzie was growing tired of hearing how Duchess planned to steal someone else's happily ever after so Duchess could have one. She flipped the light on, and stripped as she made her way to the bathroom and ran some water. She slipped under the water, her hair floating around her and the painted on heart disappeared. Lizzie came back up and just rested her head on the back of the tub.
The words that Kitty asked her earlier rang in her head on repeat, "What if we can never go home?"
Lizzie wanted to go home more than anything. Some days, she just needed to hear her mother's voice. She missed everything about Wonderland. The Wonderland Grove was a good alternative, but it did not compare to the real thing. Lizzie opened her eyes again and came back to reality. She stood up out of the now nearly cold water and grabbed a towel to dry herself with. She flipped her hair and wrapped the towel around it like a turban, slipping into her red robe. She opened the door and turned to lie in bed and screeched.
"Daring! What are you doing?!" Lizzie shouted, snatching he nearest piece of fabric to cover herself with.
"Why I am here to surprise you." Daring replied, giving her that grin he was famous for.
Lizzie righted herself, holding her chin up like she was supposed to and said, "Well you succeeded."
Daring smiled and stood up, walked to Lizzie and cupped her face in his hands and kissed her deeply.
Lizzie gave Daring a crooked smile and asked, "You want something. What is it?"
"Come with me. I have a surprise for you."
"I'll be out in a moment, Daring."
Daring nodded and left Lizzie be.
Lizzie took in a deep breath and opened up her closet, debating on what to wear. She pondered for several minutes and eventually took out a red t-shirt dress and a black belt and slipped them on along with a pair of black pumps. She left her hair down and decided to go without painting the heart over her eye and applied a little make-up and opened her bedroom door to find Daring there, waiting.
"Wow, Liz. You look...amazing."
Lizzie smiled and said, "Thank you."
"Alright, Lizzie, you can open your eyes now."
Lizzie opened her eyes to see a table in the middle of the Wonderland Grove and a very large bouquet of red roses in the middle of it. The roses reminded her of home and Lizzie smiled big. Daring pulled out a chair for her and Lizzie sat in it. Daring sat across from her and took her hand.
"You are quite beautiful, Lizzie."
Lizzie slightly blushed and squeezed his hand as Ginger Breadhouse came out with two plates of spaghetti and set them in front of each.
Lizzie raised an eyebrow and asked, "Why didn't you cook, Daring?"
Daring laughed and said, "I don't cook."
Ginger nodded vigorously and said, "He nearly burned down the kitchen boiling water."
Ginger turned and left as Lizzie was almost dying from laughter.
Lizzie took in a deep breath after she finished splitting her side from laughing so hard and started to eat. The food was delicious. It was almost too good.
When they had finished, Daring stood up and put a CD in the radio. Music poured out of the speakers and Lizzie realized it was classical music. No words. The best kind of music. Daring held out his hand toward her and Lizzie took it. He spun her around and into his embrace. Lizzie smiled up at him and Daring lowered his head towards her and kissed her deeply. They parted and Daring spun Lizzie around again, making her giggle.
Ginger spied on the couple from the small kitchen window and sighed. It was truly a beautiful sight to see love blossom. When Cupid approached Ginger about the idea, she was hesitant at first, but agreed. Cupid made the very valid point that Daring would need help from the both of them.
Just then, Ginger's phone rang.
"Hello?"
"How are they doing, Ginger?"
"Great, Cupid. They are dancing to slow music now."
"Terrific. Thank you for helping, Ginger. The students of Ever After High need to follow their heart and find their true love."
A/N: So... What do you all think?
Ginger and Cupid were last minute add ins.
Up next is... Poppy and Cerise (A crack pairing really. Hehe)
