AN: Happy Halloween guys! Holy Grimm! 50 Reviews! Thanks to all my readers out there, I do this for you and thanks for all your reviews! Sorry that's been a while, but I've got exams coming up and I've been so caught up with doing assignments and such that I haven't had the time to update.

Warning: There's gonna be some conflict (so Apple lovers beware) and some long awaited fluff.

"Apple?" Raven called. The Rebel hadn't seen the Royal since she had announced that she was appointed Crown Princess that morning in Professor Nimble's class. The news spread through the school like the plague, Royals everywhere shunned her and Rebels congratulated her. She didn't really expect anything else, but she got a pie thrown at her, which she had fortunately seen and dodged. That was pleasant.

Raven finally found Apple sitting on the second floor terrace, watching the sunset. The Royal didn't acknowledge her in any way. Her normally perfect posture was gone, her back and shoulders slumped forward in the most casual of ways. Her face looked fresh, though, as if she just reapplied a new layer of make up, but there was a familiar red tinge to her eyes.

"Apple?" Raven asked again, her tone softer. She reached out for Apple, who flinched away when the Rebel's hand made contact with her shoulder.

"Apple, please-"

"Shut up."

"What?"

"Shut UP!" The Royal's head whipped around and she stood. Fresh tears poured from her blue eyes and her lips and fists trembled with rage. "How dare you! How you could you just ruin everything!? You-you witch!"

Raven eyes widened. "Excuse me-"

Apple didn't' hear her. "Legacy Day was a disaster, but this-"

"This?" Raven repeated in a threatening tone, her arms folding and eyes narrowing. "What is 'this' exactly?"

"You being Crown Princess!" Apple screamed, here voice so loud and shrill it scared the birds out of the near by trees. That was first. "It's not right! I-it's not natural-"

Raven's jaw dropped. "Not natural?"

Apple pulled at her hair. "Yes! You're not supposed to be a Crown Princess, you can't be the 'Good' Queen!"

"Who says I can't?" Raven snapped, her fists clenched so hard that her nails dug into her palms. "You?"

"No! The universe! You're going against fate, against your destiny! You have to be the Evil Queen, or else-"

"Or else what? Our stories are going to disappear?" Raven retorted. "I think we already established that's not going to happen."

"But it might!" Apple cried. "If you're not the Evil Queen then I can't be Snow White-"

"-And you won't get your perfect little 'Happily Ever After'?" Raven mocked.

"Exactly!" Apple shouted back. "Why can't you understand how much following our stories means to me?"

"That's just it, Apple!" Raven growled. "Their not our stories! There are parent's stories! My destiny isn't set in stone, I'll write my own destiny with my own Happily Ever After and do whatever I please! I don't care how much you want to be like your mother, Apple, but we both know that I'm nothing like mine!"

Apple shook her head. She couldn't accept that. "But it's not fair! Why do I get deprived of what I want just because of your selfishness?"

Raven's head was about to explode. "Deprived? What you want? Selfishness!? If anyone here's selfish, it's you."

Apple shook her head again. "I'm selfish?-"

"Yes, you are!" Raven yelled. "Have you ever thought about anyone else but yourself? Or stop to consider what I want? I'm going through with this coronation, you're just going to have to deal with it."

Apple didn't respond, but instead let out an ugly, high-pitched wail and fled the terrace with more tears streaming down her face.

Raven just watched as she ran, before she let out a frustrated sigh. The Goth wrapped her arms around herself. With her head downcast, she started towards the exit but stumbled back in shock when she bumped into another body.

"Oh I'm sorry-" Raven froze when she looked up to see whom she had bumped into.

Dexter.

"Oh, h-hey Dex." Raven said with a weak smile. "We have to stop meeting like this."

"Haha, yeah." Dexter said awkwardly before his face became serious. "Are you alright? I heard you guys fighting and saw Apple run out."

Raven slouched and rubbed her arm. "Oh, you heard that?"

"Bits and pieces." The Prince replied. "Were you fighting about . . ."

"Me becoming Crown Princess, yeah." Raven replied, rubbing her eyes. "I don't know. Everything just seems so messed up, I'm trying to stand up for what I believe in, b-but people just don't want to hear what I have to say, unless it's what they want to hear."

"Hey, hey." Dexter said and boldly took her hand, led her to the bench and sat down with her. Raven was in more pain than she let on, Dexter could see it in her eyes. "Tell me about it, I'm a good listener."

The Rebel looked at him and nodded. "I hadn't seen Apple all day and I found her out here. I tried to talk to her and we had an argument, but what did I expect? I guess I just needed to justify why I decided to be Crown Princess."

"Raven." Dexter said softly, not even noticing the slight blush that was appearing of his crush's cheeks. They were so close, and Raven couldn't help but love how the Prince said her name. "Your decisions are your own, you don't have justify anything you do, especially not to Apple."

Raven smiled. "You know, I never really thought about being a future ruler before, but I really want to be Crown Princess. I mean, my father thinks I'd be a good ruler, and I really want to able to help my kingdom, but I guess I really just want to prove that I can be good, that I'm not my mother."

"You are good, Raven." Dexter said. "You have nothing to prove, Apple is just going to have to deal with your being the Good Queen after graduation."

Raven nodded. "Thanks Dex, it means a lot to me that you think that." It was Dexter's turn to blush. "I really thought this is would be a good thing, but it seems that all I can do is stir up trouble."

The Prince shrugged. "They'll get over it, eventually." Cue the awkward silence.

Raven started Dexter's hand that lay on top of hers. "Dex, can I ask you something?"

"Of course."

"You don't have a destiny, do you?"

Dexter went quiet for a moment. "No, I don't"

The Rebel cocked her head to the side. "What were planning on doing after graduation then?"

Dex turned to the sunset. "It was always planned that I become Daring's adviser after he got married to Apple." He turned back to Raven, his eyes sad. "Or if any other story needed a prince, I've always been the spare."

Raven stared at him before she grabbed onto both his hands. How could he think that. "You are no spare, Dexter Charming. You are so much more than that, you always have been. You're sweet, incredibly smart, so very kind and a great listener. If being a Rebel has taught me anything, is that you can do whatever you like, and no one can stop achieving what you want but you."

Dexter smiled. "Thank you, Raven."

Dex looked at, really looked at her. Her amethyst eyes shone with the confidence and fierceness that he never had and always admired about her. She was independent and kind and beautiful, and the Prince had never met a person as perfect as her.

Raven stared into Dexter's eyes, blue as the sky and admired how they shone in the twilight. All she could see was him. Sweet and awkward and wonderful Dexter. The one that would always be there whenever she needed him. Dexter; who she could always rely on. Who she trusted. Who saw her and liked her as she was.

Dexter Charming.

Dexter.

Dex.

Before she knew it she had pressed her lips to his. At first there was nothing, but then Dexter pressed his lips back onto hers, and it was heaven. Joy, fear, passion, longing and every other emotion in between burst within them and were shared through their slow kiss.

Dexter's hands reached up and cupped her face and his thumbs stroked the soft skin of her cheeks. He needed to make sure that she was really there, with him. That she was real, not another dream.

Raven slid her hands up the prince's chest and across his jaw. Kissing Dexter was even more mazing than she ever dreamt it would be. His lips were soft and warm, and moved against hers in the most delicious way.

After another minute of there lip locking, Dexter pulled away, his eyes still closed and rested his forehead on Raven's. "I really hope this isn't a dream."

Raven giggled and pecked his lips. "If this were a dream, I hope I don't wake up anytime soon."

The Prince's eyes opened. "You are so amazing." And with that Dexter did what he been had wanted to do since he first saw her. He wrapped his arms around her, pulled her close and he kissed her. Again. And again. And again.

Raven was so lost in him. All her worries seemed to fade away. Apple no longer mattered, the world no longer mattered. All there was, was them. Together. In that moment, and never did Raven feel like she belonged more than she did when she was in his arms.

AN: *Fangirl squealing * Yay! Finally a kiss! I can't tell you guys how long I've been itching to write this! What do you think? Is it rushed? I don't know, but oh well! So sorry for any mistakes, but I'll edited more thoroughly later when I have the time.

Please R&R!
