Alistair finished reading the letter and broke down into tears. He was ashamed of how he had suspected Cupid of cheating on him, and the story of Cupid and her father. He loved her, and her letter broke his heart. He clutched the silver frame with the picture of him and her to his heart and sobbed.
After some time, Alistair gathered himself and went to Cupid's locker. He leaned against it. He could still smell the remaining scents from her perfume, and he missed her a lot. It made him sad to think about her in her house missing him. However, there were only a couple days before her return, so that was something to look forward to… maybe he could go get a gift for Cupid with her friends.
On the day Cupid was to arrive at Ever After High, Alistair got up extra early and got ready to greet Cupid. He stood at the top of the stairs and waited for her.
When her carriage finally came to a halt in front of the great stairs of Ever After High, Alistair ran down the stairs and held her as soon as she stepped out.
"Cupid! I missed you so much!" Alistair cried.
"Alistair, I missed you too." Cupid said. She started sobbing in his arms, which led Alistair to lose control and cry into her as well.
"Aww…" Faybelle said, watching them from the top of the stairs. "How sweet… if only something were to happen to them." She smirked and ran into the school.
When Cupid went to Crownculus that afternoon, Faybelle came and sat next to her. "Hey Cupid." She smirked.
"Oh, um, hi?" Cupid said. What did she want?
"So, how was your visit home?" she asked.
"It was perfectly fine, thank you very much." Cupid opened her book and pretended to ignore her.
"Yeah, sure." Faybelle rolled her eyes. "So I hear daddy's not happy about his little girl going out with Alistair Wonderland." She said.
"Whateverafter, Faybelle." Cupid said. She was getting a little annoyed.
"Well, if that's not true, I guess I can tell daddy what his little princess has been up to." Faybelle smirked.
"Sure, go on." Cupid said. She knew it had to be an empty threat, but her voice trembled still.
"Ok, then." Faybelle took out her MirrorPad. "Let's see, what snapshot of you two should I post on the Mirror Blog…?"
"Faybelle, please, no, I'm sorry!" Cupid begged.
"Too late." Faybelle said. "Ooh, what about this one from True Hearts Day?"
"Faybelle, please don't!" Cupid cried.
Faybelle crossed her arms and stared at Cupid. "Why should I?"
"Because it's nice to be kind to people from time to time?" Cupid said.
"No. Because you're gonna work for me." Faybelle said.
"Work? No fair!" Cupid said.
"Take it or leave it." Faybelle said, picking up her MirrorPad.
"Fine… what?" Cupid asked.
"Start with getting my laundry done. Then clean my dorm – and maybe then run some errands for me before I can think about it?" Faybelle suggested.
"Alright…" Cupid said.
