This chapter is Dapple, enjoy!

Walk Out On Me-Courtney Love-3:25

"Fine, go then! I understand," Apple got ready to start sobbing, "I'm not the perfect Snow White!"

"Apple," Daring sighed, "You're being over…"

"I am not being over-dramatic! I should go and dye my hair black, maybe then you'll stay!"

Daring sighed, "Apple, I'm going to pick up our dinner…We ordered food, remember?"

Apple was too busy caught up in her own over-dramatic sobs to listen to the prince. He slipped out and went to go and pay the pizza delivery man.

"You're back!" Apple wiped her tears and collected herself, "You do love me…Oh, Daring!"

She all but knocked the pizza out of Daring's hands. Overdramatic or not, Daring had to give Apple credit for putting up with him regardless.

Super Rich Kids-Frank Ocean-5:05

Apple's head was spinning from two Gold Crown Vodka bottles and whatever had been in those pills that Briar had given her. Daring decide not to partake in the pills but, he kept on drinking.

It was nice to do this, to go to parties, get ridiculously messed up and then not have a care in the world either way. Apple and Daring were meant to live the high life with each other and their other Royal pals. That was all that mattered, wasn't it?

And, if they were a little scared at they destinies, they could just resolve to drink it down and live it up. That was only going to be a portion of their lives. Their story didn't have the power to overtake their lives…or, it shouldn't…

Her mind was wandering too much, "Daring…Heee, take a shot with me?"

"Of course, m'lady!" Daring poured them some shots and they took it together.

"Taking shots in sync, is there anything that they can't do together!?" Briar complimented the pair.

Exactly. And, maybe later, if Daring could sneak back into his castle, they could go and take his dad's Jaguar Carriage for a joy ride. Maybe they didn't quite have a loving and mature relationship just yet but, they were growing and would grow even more in time.

Telekinesis-Ne-Yo-4:20

Daring was well aware that magic existed, after all, there wasn't a magic spell around that couldn't fix just about anything. But, he thought that magic was reserved to those skilled in sorcery.

But, when Apple started picking up on some telekinesis skills from her Home Evilnomics class, Daring was convinced that he'd never seen any type of magic more mystic or beautiful.

"Daring, can you please hand me the…never mind. I'll fetch it," Apple used telekinesis to drag over a book that she wanted.

"That's lovely," he commented.

"Oh, Daring! Stop, you're making me blush," She gave him a pouty smile and she moved his crown off of his head if only to annoy him a bit.

"Nice try," He leaned forward and pecked her lips.

The Charming prince decided to let Apple play with his crown in the air for a bit. It was mesmerizing to watch her do so anyhow.

Carry On-Fun-4:38

Apple understood that knights were required to go fight in wars but, that didn't mean that she liked the idea of Daring going off and participating in some kind of war. She hated all of this and wished that the neighboring kingdom would just go and solve it's own damn problems and stop asking for help!

"Don't look so down," Raven passed Apple in town, "The boys get home today."

"What?" Apple couldn't believe it.

"In about an hour, their ship is going to dock at harbor," The ebony haired princess then had to be on her way, "See you there!"

The hour didn't go by fast enough.

"Daring!" Apple squealed his name when she saw him and ran onto the docks, nearly toppling him over with the forced that she ran at him with.

"Ooof…Ahem, I mean, it's nice to see you, Apple!" Daring recovered well from the almost-collision with Apple.

She wrapped her arms around him and had no intention of letting go, He was her Daring and no one else's, especially not some other kingdom's.

Conqueror-Estelle and Jussie Smollett-4:29

While Apple had been the one standing by destiny back in high school, she certainly hadn't followed that disunity in adulthood. She ruled a large majority of fairytales at this point in time. Power was better than biting into a poison-filled fruit and waiting to be saved. Besides, the poison fruit had been Raven's problem and, Dexter had saved her, she was fine now.

The new power-hungry Apple scared Daring a bit but, he never left her side. She was still Apple underneath her darkness regardless so, he wouldn't dare abandon her. Besides, when Apple got angry nowadays, it wasn't her usual whining and squealing…The last person to make her angry…

Daring shook his head not wanting to picture what had become of that poor girl's heart. Either way, he was here to stay by Apple's side for as long as she wanted him to. No matter how she'd chosen to write her story.

The Riddler-Method Man-4:01

"A babble spell, what do you mean a babble spell?" Apple was worried already.

"Chemythstry was rough today, Daring added more fairy dust to the mixture than he needed to, it exploded and he's been babbling since," Dexter explained.

"Then fix it!" Apple pouted angrily.

"We're trying to, Maddie said she has to finish her shift at the tea shop before she can help, it's busy today," Dexter offered some more info.

"Fine," Apple sighed, rather unamused, "Daring, can you say anything?"

"Sweet succulent fruit, do not fret. For only because my words are tangled, you have nothing to regret," Daring spoke.

"We think he's speaking Riddlish, it's not too strong a babble spell," Dexter clarified.

Apple sighed and then kissed Daring on the cheek, babbling or not, he was still very handsome. Poor baby, she wished she could cure him herself.

Baby I-Tenderoni-4:12

Apple stretched out her shoulders are she got out of bed with Daring. He hadn't gotten up out of the covers yet. But, he was very much awake and looking Apple's way.

Her small and petite frame was so fragile, needing of protection and, he was glad to be her protector.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Apple asked as she grabbed her glasses and a book off of the night table.

"Because even in the morning you have the ability to look lovely," He smiled, making it a point to stare into her eyes after the fact.

Now, Apple was prepared to argue that she'd look better with long black hair cascading down her back but, she merely accepted Daring's compliment. She could have this battle some other time. She didn't take his love for granted and, she certainly shouldn't start doing so now.

Breakdown-Mariah Carey-4:46

Wasn't part of following destiny going along with your pre-written story? Apple thought so. Or, had she been mistaken this whole time?

She didn't understand why Daring felt that he 'needed time for himself' and, how perhaps, being her rescuer might not be how he wanted to spend his story and or pledge his destiny. He may as well have told Apple that he was done with her all together.

Here she was, holding on in vain to the ideals of destiny while her prince slipped away…It couldn't be like this. No!

Or, was this serving as a wake-up call of some sort? Did she have to give up on the pre-written ideas that she had been programmed to embrace and maybe start thinking for herself the way Daring had?

Maybe…Big maybe though. This was all so scary and, all of this thinking over the situation was making Apple's head hurt. She needed more time with this decision over turning her back on destiny, really…

Well, at least Daring was off figuring himself out and allowing Apple the space and time to figure herself out.

Hot n Cold-Katy Perry-3:35

"Hmph," Apple frowned at the fact that Daring was using her hair gel, "Daring, give it!"

"Apple, I'm only borrowing it," He started, "I'm running low and have to go shopping after I finish class today."

"You said that yesterday. You're so indecisive! You're like a princess with an enchantment over you," She shot him some semblance of a glare.

"I lost track of time while I was taking pictures, you can't blame me, can you?" Daring didn't get why Apple was making such a big deal out of this.

"Go! Get out of here, I won't be seeing you for lunch then," She flipped her hair and started walking away from him.

"Alright."

"Oh, stop it! Come here," Apple pulled him by his hand, "You are so insufferable!"

She planted a kiss on his cheek, "Have fun at class. See you at lunch!"

Daring waved good-bye to her…She could get so crazy sometimes.

You Better Run-Pat Benatar-3:04

Apple snuggled into Daring, running her hand over his heart. That was hers now. If he was going to be with her, that was the end of that.

Their love was theirs and theirs alone.

And, if anyone might choose to stand in the way of that, Apple was going to zap those who did and turn them into apples! Or, whatever fruit fit their personality. She and Daring did need a nice centerpiece for their dining hall table.

Going against destiny had been the best decision that Apple had ever made. She was a powerful sorceress and, while ruling kindly was nice, it was better to be feared than loved. Maybe even Daring was a bit scared of her by now. Whatever, it worked out in her favor. Apple had always know that everything would.

Yet another chapter has ended! Shuffle is one fun tool and, I love writing to songs and not at all knowing what's going to pop up next! Have a Royally Rebellious day my loves.
