That afternoon, Abbey Roe and Millie were in the Castleteria. Today's lunch was stone soup, much to the princesses' dismay.

"I don't get it," Abbey Roe said. "It's our first day back from vacation, but the food tastes terrible." She lifted her spoonful of soup. "It's not even edible!"

"Well we all can't be Maddie," Millie said, referring to a teal-haired girl eating the stones in her soup.

Suddenly, fairy godmothers in-training teleported all over the room to hand out the class schedules to all of the students (except for Raven, whose schedule disappeared due to a scared fairy godmother). When Abbey Roe and Millie got their schedules, they went over them to see which classes they got.

"No way!" Millie squealed. "We're in the same classes for Beast Training and Care iplus/i Crownculus! But why doesn't your schedule list Kingdom Management, Princessology, and Muse-ic? I mean, you're a princess."

"I took them last year, remember?" Abbey Roe asked. "I know it was Freedom Year, but I still wanted to take them early on so I can get a better option for future classes."

"Oh, right," Millie said with a giggle. "The whole school wouldn't stop talking about your big solo."

"For the last time, it was my mom's signature princess song," Abbey Roe explained. "I was singing it the way it was meant to be sung."

"That's not what everyone on the MirrorNet's video page says," Millie said.

"What big solo?"

That voice came from Maddie Hatter, who just appeared next to the two princesses. "Oh, hi Maddie," Abbey Roe said. "What's up?"

"Besides the sky?" Maddie asked in response. "Raven is off getting her schedule from Madame Yaga and I overheard the Wiser Narrator saying something about you having a killer solo. May I hear it?"

"I don't think so," Abbey Roe said, embarrassed. As much as she loved the attention, only a few people were talking about it. Mostly Millie and a few other girls. Everyone else was too busy noticing Apple.

"Don't worry about not getting attention," Maddie said. "Just sing."

"Okay..." Abbey Roe said. She took a deep breath and began her song.

It started with a smile!
I was happy for a while!
But I'm thinking you lied to me!
Now I'm feeling super, ultra angry!
Your words had such a ring!
That I couldn't hear a thing!
But now I see what you're all about!
And I can't sit still, I wanna SCREAM AND SHOUT!

You're so untrue!
I see through you!
I'll yell and scream 'til I turn blue!
Your front's a fake!
You low-rat snake!
To mess with me's a big mistake!
You're so untrue!
With you I'm through!
What goes around is comin' back at yoooooou!

But sadly, no one else paid attention to her. All she got was a smile from Millie and a jaw drop from Maddie. "Wow!" the teal-haired girl cheered. "You sing better than every single girl in this school! How come no one noticed such natural talent?"

As if on cue, Apple showed up with Daring. "That," Abbey Roe groaned.

Apple and Daring walked over to the girls' table. "Hey Abbey Roe, Millie, and Maddie," she said. "How's every enchanted thing?"

"Hello Apple," Abbey Roe said. "And Daring."

"I-uh I have to warn you," Daring said. "Don't stare at the teeth. Just got them whitened." He flashed his signature smile, making Millie blush and giggle.

"Then you better shut your mouth more often," Abbey Roe replied in a dull tone. "You don't want to flirt with multiple girls in front of your girlfriend." Since she was a lesbian, she never found Daring attractive. In fact, she saw him as nothing more than

"Oh, cheer up, Abbey Roe," Apple said, putting her arm around the shorter princess' shoulders. "Daring and I are still not a couple. This is high school. We've got forever after to be together."

"Don't worry about her, Apple," Maddie chimed in. "The Wiser Narrator says Abbey Roe isn't attracted to Daring because she's a..."

Lesbian. Abbey Roe is a lesbian.

"Yeah!" Maddie remembered. "A less-bee-an. I think it has something to do with beekeeping."

Abbey Roe flinched, pulled away from Apple, and instinctively grabbed Millie's hand. "You okay?" Apple asked.

"Abbes is just a bit sensitive when it comes to love," Millie explained. "So I think it's best not to talk about it."

"That's alright," Apple said. "She can be happy even if she doesn't want to date."

With that, the bell rang. "Oh-oh! There's the bell," Apple said. "I better get going. Come on, Daring." And with that, the two left.

"So Abbey Roe," Maddie said. "Are you trying to say Apple is always upstaging you even when she doesn't know it?"

"Yeah..." Abbey Roe muttered. "It kind of stinks."

"Oh, stop being such a grumpy gus," Maddie said. "Maybe going to Briar's party this evening will cheer you up."

"Briar?" Millie asked. "As in the daughter of Sleeping Beauty?"

"What? Don't you like Briar?" Maddie asked.

"She's on permanent bucket list mode," Abbey Roe explained. "She thinks that since she's going to sleep for a hundred years, she has to 'live it up'. But she has no idea that for some Sleeping Beautys, like her own mother, only slept for less than a year."

"You'll thank me this evening," Maddie said. "The party is in the ballroom. Remember to dress fancy!"

"Okay," Millie said with an eye-roll. "We'll see you there."
