A few days later, the students of Ever After High went on a picnic to the Enchanted Woods, and Blondie posted the pictures on the Mirror Blog so that everyone can download. She made sure she didn't post any of the photos that would give away Cupid and Alistair… but apparently she had missed out on something.
Eros studied the picture. No, it couldn't be. He knew his sweet daughter knew better than to go out with the Wonderlandian boy again – she even broke up with him in front of his own eyes! But the photo said it all. He was looking at a shot of a girl with wild blue and violet hair laughing with a lilac haired girl with feline impressions – but what his sharp eyes had noticed were his daughter holding hands with a boy in the background. That was not supposed to be there.
He picked up his MirrorPad and dialed Cupid.
"Hello daddy!" She said, cheerfully. "How are you doing?"
"Everything's swell, my dear." He said. "Now, I called because I wanted to ask you something."
"What is it?"
Eros sighed. "I saw the picnic photos on the Mirror Blog, and I want you to answer me in yes or no only: are you still going out with that guy I made you break up with?"
Cupid fell into stunned silence. She quickly recovered and said, "No, of course not, daddy." Her voice trembled.
"Then how are you going to explain the picture of you and him making out?" Eros asked.
"There is no such picture, I'm certain!" Cupid's heart was racing. Hadn't Blondie said that she hadn't posted pictures of her and Alistiar?
"Check the footage I send you. After you're done with comprehending the situation, call me back." He hung up.
Cupid quickly opened the jpg file her father sent her. It was a picture of Maddie and Kitty – with her and Alistair in the background.
Cupid's heart sank. What was she going to do now?
She called back her father, dreading what he would say.
"Did you check?" Eros asked.
"Yes daddy." Cupid said.
"Have I not said that you are not to go out with a fairytale?" he asked.
"Yes daddy." Cupid said.
"Well, what do we have here? You have not listened to my warning – therefore you pay the price. You need to focus on your own life and your own future young lady."
Cupid gasped. Can it mean –
"I'm coming to Ever After High right now. Pack your things. You're going back to Monster High." Eros said.
"But daddy, please, no!"
But the phone went dead, and Cupid lay on her bed and sulked. Coming into the dorm a few minutes later, Blondie was surprised to see her so upset. She asked Cupid what was the matter, and Cupid told her what happened.
"Cupid, I – I'm so sorry!" Blondie said.
"No, Blondie. It's not your fault." Cupid said.
"Oh, what have I done? Quick, I'll get Alistair."
Blondie and Alistair rushed into the room not long after Blondie set off.
"Cupid, I am so sorry!" Alistair said.
"Alistair, forgive me." Cupid weeped.
"No, it's not your fault. It's not anybody's fault." Alistair said. He sat on Cupid's bed and stroked her back, and she cried into his shoulder.
"I'm going to miss you so much." Cupid whispered.
"Me too." Alistair said. "If only you knew how much I love you."
Just then, there was a knock on the door. "C.A. Cupid, this is Headmaster Grimm. Your father is here to talk to you."
