"Well, can things get more complicated? This is just High School, right? Weeeeeeeeeellll.
Covering for Annika was slightly easier than expected, considering that her parents were also two of teachers and were missing along with her. I think I'm the only one that knows they've joined the statuary of the kingdom.
Julian disappeared, which started to really concern Erica. Who, by the way, is still posing as Anneliese. There's also a rumor going around that she and the young king are getting along famously.
Kristyn now has brown hair and has a blond guy following her around. And yes, she's wearing a tutu. And the shoes which she still refuses to take off!
Odette is still working on the curse, with a little help from Daniel... I think.
Louis decided to try out his flying machine. it went... well. Considering it 'accidentally' took off. Seeing him hanging upside down from that ladder will forever play in my mind as one of the funniest things I've ever seen. That's... also how I ended up with a date to the school dance.
Yes, I am going to the dance with Louis. Future king of France! It's just payment for saving him from the balloon... I tihnk.
Oh yeah, Liana and Alexa are gone looking for the diamond castle with the talking mirror and Merliah... I have no idea where she is.
Blair's still getting tutored so I don't see much of her these days. Although, the other day, the school to a field trip to the Gardenia castle. In the hall of... fame? There was a picture of Blair. At least we think is was Blair. Then Hadley and Isla started suggesting that Blair might be Princess Sophia. If you don't know the story of that. Someone made a documentary that you can buy at Walmart called... Princess Charm School, I think. Or you can just find it online. Anyways... then Dame Devon alerted everyone that once Delancy is crowned queen of Gardenia, she's going to knock down all these apartments and stuff, which happened to be right where Blair's family is. Coincidence? I think not. Although, Delancy didn't seem so sure of the decision. Now, after a long moment of thinking, Blair's decided she's going to prove whether she's the Princess or not. How... I'm not sure.
Antonio... poor lad. He's still trying to follow his heart while not hurting Luciana. It's really sad. But it also seems that this arranged marriage thing has brought Ro and Antonio closer together.
I, for one am losing my mind. But can you blame me? I'm pretty sure the junior year of high school isn't supposed to be this crazy. Right?
"I cannot believe you've got a date!" Aramina gushed "Even before I have a date!"
"It's just a thanks-for-saving-my-life-for-the-second-time date." Corinne pointed out "Not a date date."
"Yeah-huh." Renee grinned "Louis' been watching you since..."
"Don't say it again!" Corinne interrupted "I am aware that he ran into me Freshman year."
"So. How's the rest of the Blond Society?" Viveca asked.
"Half, not sure. Other half, okay."
"Do you think they'll all be back for the dance?" Aramina asked.
"I can only hope."
"You asked Corinne to the dance!?" Liam's mouth dropped open "And you're alive?"
Louis rolled his eyes as he closed his locker "It's to repay her for saving my life twice."
"You didn't!" Eric laughed "You're using her saving you as an excuse to get a date!?"
Louis let out a huff of hair "Leave me alone." then he walked away.
Jeremy frowned "Too bad Liana isn't in any danger." he looked around "Or is she? I haven't seen her lately."
During lunch, Corinne was heading to sit with her friends when Erica came running up to her.
"Hi, Anneliese." Corinne said with a knowing smile "What's up?"
"I don't know what to do." Erica said quietly "Corinne! Julian and the Princess are still missing! And I think I'm falling in love with the king!"
"Really?"
"It's terrible!" Erica shook her head "He's supposed to be marrying Anneliese!"
Corinne shook her head "I don't know what to say, Erica."
"I just hope they show back up soon." Erica responded, then she walked off.
"You're not the only one." Corinne sighed.
"Hi." A voice said, causing her to jump and spin around.
She let out a small laugh of relief "Yes, Your Highness?"
Louis shook his head "Please, call me Louis."
"Louis." She nodded with a smile "Did you need something?"
"Well..." his face turned a dark shade of red "I... was wondering." he cleared his throat "The dance... um... what... um..." he rubbed the back of his neck "Color..."
Corinne's eyes widened "Oh... I'm not exactly sure. You'd... have to ask Viveca."
"Viveca?" he looked towards the brunette that was on the other side of the cafeteria. The idea of discussing this again was not his idea of fun.
"Yeah." She blew a piece of hair from her face "But... I'll take a wild guess and say pink."
He blinked a couple of times "Pink?"
"Yeah... pink." She subconsciously kicked her foot against the floor.
"Pink." he looked around, not sure what to do "Pink."
"What is going on over there?" Renee whispered to the other two.
"No clue." Aramina answered "But it looks awkward."
"Way awkward." Viveca agreed she squinted "She just said Pink. And he said Pink. And she says it again. And he says it twice more."
"What about pink?" Renee asked.
Aramina gasped "He wants to match for the dance! That is sooo sweet!"
"Prince Louis in pink." Renee thought a second "Whoa."
"What are they saying now?" Aramina asked.
"She's suggesting another color." Viveca said, squinting her eyes a little more "Tur... quoise." her eyes widened "Turquoise!" she shook her head "She just suggested turquoise!"
"That I can see." Renee said with a shrug.
"Pink and turquoise are not even close to the same color!" Viveca said exasperated.
"Vivi." Renee sent her friend a pointed look "Can you see him in pink? Liam yes. Louis, no."
"She's got a point." Aramina added "Besides, turquoise and pink are pretty together!"
"Oh! Look away!" Viveca gasped "She's coming!"
Corinne sighed as she slid into her seat "Oh boy."
"Awkward!" Renee sang into her cup of soda.
Corinne frowned at her "You weren't watching that were you?"
"Who wasn't?" Viveca retorted "It was... hilarious!"
"And sweet!" Aramina sighed dreamily "He wanted to match you at the dance!" she slammed her hand down on the table, causing the others to jump "Which makes it an official date!"
"Aramina! Sh!" Corinne hissed "And no it does not!" she shook her head "By the way, have you seen Blair?"
"Nope." Renee shook her head.
Corinne sighed "Great."
Well, the next morning, Corinne and her friends were walking to school together. They had plenty of time, so they were just strolling leisurely.
"I can't believe the dance is tomorrow night!" Aramina siad as she skipped "Viveca. You've got the dresses, right?"
"Duh!" Viveca tossed her head proudly "They'll be the most beautiful gowns at the ball!"
"I wouldn't count on it." Corinne said with a smile "But they'll probably be one of the top twenty."
"You insult me." Viveca grumbled.
Renee chuckled as they rounded a corner. Then she gasped "What's that?"
Up ahead was sitting a carriage surrounded by several men. One of them, Philippe's sidekick.
"What are they doing?" Aramins whispered as the four ducked behind a pile of crate.
"Whatever it is," Renee said "They don't want anyone to know about it."
Corinne nodded in agreement.
As they watched, Bertram opened a wooden crate and pulled out a decorative sword "These will make the perfect party favors for the school dance." then he a real sword form from the center "Prince Louis won't know what hit him."
Aramina gasped and immediately had three sets of hands covered his mouth.
A few minutes later the men left with the crates.
"Did you see that!?" Renee gasped.
Corinne nodded "Philippe's planning on sneaking weapons into the school dance!" she took a few steps back "Come on! We've got to warn Louis!" then she took off running.
"Corinne!" Ro called as soon as she saw her running towards the school "I... think I'm going to the dance." she said as she fell in step beside her.
"That's great." Corinne said, focusing on the door "Why wouldn't you?"
"I don't know." Ro answered "It's just... I don't know."
"Good luck." Corinne sent her a smile then ran up the steps and burst through the doors.
But she hadn't taken two steps inside than Treville grabbed her arm.
"The Principal wants to talk to you." he said, pulling her down the hall.
"But... Why?" She asked slowly.
"You shall see." Treville looked over his shoulder "Aramina. Viveca. Renee. You'd better come too."
As the four girls stepped into the office, they spotted Drosselmeyer pacing behind his desk.
"They're here." Treville said.
"Ah." Drosselmeyer turned to face them "I have a..."
"Sir," Corinne interrupted "I don't mean any disrespect but..."
"Philippe is planning to sneak real weapons into the school dance to kill Prince Louis!" Aramina blurted out.
Treville's eyebrows lurched "Oh? How do you know this?"
"We saw it with out own eyes!" Corinne said.
"And heard it with our own ears!" Aramina added.
"What proof do you have?" Treville asked.
Corinne looked back at her friends "Well... none right now. But at the dance..."
"Corinne. Stop this!" Drosselmeyer shook his head and took a deep breath "I don't want to do this. But you have caused enough trouble in this school!"
"Sir, please..." Corinne started, but the Principal silenced her.
"The only thing that kept allowing you to attend here were you exceptionally and surprisingly high grades."
Renee frowned "High grades?"
"Yes." Drosselmeyer nodded "Corinne has the second highest grades in the school."
"What!?" Aramina and Viveca gasped.
"Julian Everitt has the highest. Then Corinne, Louis, Mariposa, and so on." The man cleared his throat
"Your grades are better than Louis'?" Renee asked, then she crossed her arms "I don't believe it."
"Look, Mr. Drosselmeyer, you have to listen." Corinne said with a shake of her head "Louis' not the only one in danger. This whole school is in trouble!"
"I'm aware." The principal said "And somehow it all comes back to you."
"What do you mean?"
"Bliar Willows got arrested last night for stealing from Dame Devon."
"What!? She would never!"
"I believe you know Erica James?"
"Yes. Why?"
"She has also been arrested for impersonating Anneliese, who is now dead."
"What!?" Corinne's eyes widened "How?"
"That is none of your concern. Her mother in inconsolable."
"But I..."
"Genevieve has disappeared and her father is sick. Liana and Alexa, Odette, Merliah and Annika are gone. Not to mention Aiden. All the guardians of Fairytopia have been poisoned so the Enchantress has to train the apprentices so they can perform the flight of spring. "
"What!?"
"I'm not finished. Not to mention these strange boys that keep following Kristyn around." he shook his head "And on top of it all, the school dance is tomorrow night!"
"Sir," Corinne said slowly "Most of this has nothing to do with me. I'm afraid I don't understand."
"With everything going on, I can't take this constant trouble from you." Drosselmeyer stood from his desk and shook his head "I hate to do this, but Aramina, Viveca, and Renee. You three are suspended from school til after the dance."
"No!" The three gasped.
"And Corinne," he looked straight at her "I hate to do this. But you... Are expelled."
(OOOH YEAH! Another chapter *doing glory dance*. Sorry if this story seems really complicated. It's hard to keep up with all the other students, which I have somehow managed not to do. Oh well, next time I'll just do one movie. Unless y'all want Senior year? No movies to follow! Okay, here's a head up warning, my laptop is... dying, frying and everything else it's not supposed to. So, if it does finally and officially crash, there won't be many updates. There might not even be any til... AUGUST! And me not being able to write that long... I'll just cry. Forever. And Ever. So, hope my laptop lives! Laterz!)
