HOPE YOU ALL ENJOY THIS NEW CHAPTER :)

Times Collide

"We need to be quiet," May said as they all followed Dominic.

"Duh," Odel said, which earned him a look from May. "Sorry."

They followed him pass the Tea Shoppe, the Red Shoes Club, the Beanstalk Bakery and soon they realised they were at the edge of the Village.

"Seems like he is leaving the Village of Book End," Aquamarine said in a low tone.

"That can't be right, his mother lives in the village," Grace replied.

"Maybe he's not going to see his mother, maybe someone else?" Serena said.

But when it seemed as if he was leaving the village, he did a right turn and appeared at a mansion.

Dominic looked at the door and it asked," Password."

"Gales," Dominic replied.

"Voice recognition, Dominic."

The door opened and he entered, it immediately shut behind him.

"Now how the hex are we going to get inside, the door only opens to people it recognises," Alexander said.

"Well then, it's a god thing you have a witch here," Serena said.

She closed her eyes and moved her hand towards her mouth.

"How do I sound?" Serena asked.

"Just like Dominic," Grace replied.

"Good, let's get in there-"

"Wait! We are about to break into a house and we literally stalked the guy here, why don't we just knock on the door and see if he opens?" Daniel said.

Everyone looked at each other.

"I guess," Serena said in Dominic's voice. "Makes sense I mean we aren't some spies, this kinda got to our heads."

Daniel walked to the door and knocked.

"Who is it?" a lady's voice asked.

"My name is Daniel and I'm a friend of Dominic's."

"Oh, and who are the others with you?" the voice asked.

"We are his friends as well and we came here to talk to you," Serena said.

"Me?"

"Yes, you are Mrs. Gale?" Darling asked.

"Yes, well then, come in."

The door opened and they stepped into the house, standing in front of them was a pretty woman with auburn hair and green eyes.

"And you want to talk to me about?" she asked.

"About your years in Ever After High," Darling answered.

The tales were escorted to the Ever After Halls by Headmaster Grimm and some of the other teachers.

"Okay, we have to be at the front," Donnie whispered to Sam.

"Definitely, but how do we make it sound important for us to be?" he asked.

"Well we are new tales, maybe we could say that we just want our kids to see us?" Cedar offered.

"Yeah. but not everyone is going to go along with the plan," Copper said to Donnie.

"That's alright, as long as some of us are at the front, we would be noticed by our friends in the future, if their memories aren't being affected like ours."

Once they had reached the Hall, Headmaster Grimm started putting people in designated spaces.

"Headmaster Grimm?" Donnie said.

"Yes," he replied without even looking at her.

"Some of my friends were wondering if we could by any chance get an opportunity to be at the front."

"What!"

"We were just thinking just four of us, not all the new tales at the front."

"And why would I agree?"

"Well you don't have to but we were thinking maybe the next generation could-"

"Miss Gale, I have heard enough, only popular characters get to be at the front and since you are new, I don't see how you should be put there with them, it will not-"

"It's okay, Headmaster, she can be at the front with me and Apple," Snowanna said when she overheard the conversation.

"Are you sure of this, Your Highness?" Headmaster Grimm asked.

"Positive," Snowanna smiled.

"Then I believe it is settled, Miss Gale, you will be at the front but not with your friends."

Once Headmaster Grimm was gone, Donnie turned to Snowanna, "Why did you do that?"

"It seemed as if being at the front meant something to you, I man you literally went up to Headmaster Grimm so I wanted to help."

"Thank you."

"Don't sweat it, Apple and I are over there, so let's go," Snowanna grabbed her and they got to the front line.

Donnie looked at Sam, Cedar and Copper and whispered, "Only allowed me."

With everyone in place, the picture was taken and it was now official, if no one saw them, Donnie knew they were doomed.

"And what do you want to know about my years in Ever After High?" Dominique asked.

She was leading them to the study where Dominic was talking to a man with hair as brown as his and blue eyes behind a thick set of glasses.

"What are you guys doing here?" Dominic asked.

"Umm...we came to see your mum," Grace replied.

"What? Why?"

"Dominic dear, if your friends want to see me, I believe it is between them and I."

"Yes mother."

"That gorgeous man over there is my husband, Leonard Courage."

Once everyone had been properly introduced, Darling cut to the chase.

"I know this may sound crazy, but can we ask you when you started Ever After High?"

"Well I believe that was 1993, I remember that year perfectly, it was only a week or so before Legacy Day and I could show you my class picture."

She pointed at a picture in the wall and it flew to her, she then showed it to the tales, where they saw a hall full of smiling faces.

"That's Apple White!" Grace said pointing at the blonde girl close to the girl who looked a lot like her with the exception of the dark hair.

"And that's- oh my gosh I can't even tell which one is my mum and which one is Raven Queen," Darling said looking baffled, "They look just like twins here."

"My, my, you tales do know a lot about your history," Dominique smiled.

"Yes we do, can you remember the time you took the picture?" May asked.

"Well I remember the day, but I never watched the clock for the time, I do however remember that the next day was our Legacy Day, it started at six o'clock on the dot on the 20th of November 1993, it's even in my Yearbook. I can still remember walking to the podium and signing."

Darling smiled at the others, "We have a date, time and place."

"We can get them back, back to their real time here," Grace said.

"No you remember anything before the day you arrived at Ever After?" Alexander asked.

"Why yes, I remember my life in my farm, everything, my siblings, the memories of that old place is so refreshing," Dominique answered.

That worried the tales, they looked at each other and they knew the all had the same thoughts, if Dominique remembered life before she went to Ever After High, that would mean that she was born in the past, and the pictures were just old photos, the memories of this Daring was perhaps of Darling's ancestor, after all they were both Charmings.

"But the strange thing is that when I went to visit my farm, it was not there, as if it had gone POOF! Like it didn't exist, but it was likely demolished, which broke my heart."

The tales talked to Dominique and Leonard about their past lives and soon they believed they had got all the information they needed.

"They both said that their childhood homes were not there when they went to visit them, that means..." May trailed on.

"That means they didn't exist, meaning they never belonged there, their memories must have been altered, she didn't seem to know us," Grace finished.

"Well then, I guess I have a spell to make," Serena smiled.
