Cupid, Alistair, and Blondie gasped. Blondie hissed, "Quick, Alistair, hide!"

Alistair went and hid behind the clothes rack and watched Cupid go outside the dorm to face her father and Headmaster Grimm. He watched her taken out of her room, and saw the door shut. Only then did he start crying.

"Alistair, I am so sorry." Blondie said.

"Don't be." Alistair said. "Why couldn't I have at least tried to save her from being taken away? I could have tried to talk things with her father, tell her how much I love her. And now, I won't be able to see her until… who knows when? Maybe not foreverafter." He sobbed, and Blondie felt bad for him. Though she hadn't meant it, it was her fault things turned out this way for her best friends.

Eros sat Cupid on the couch and gave her a stern look.

"Chariclo Arganthone Cupid, I thought I told you enough times, you should focus on your schoolwork and not on boys." He scolded her. "I'm also surprised you lied to me about breaking up with that guy. Lying is a bad habit, I tell you."

Cupid looked down at the floor and tried not to cry. She couldn't hear her father's words: she just thought about Alistair. What was she going to do without him now?

"C.A. Cupid!" she heard her father shout. She jumped.

"Do you have anything to say?"

Cupid sighed. "Please, daddy, I'm sorry. But please don't send me back to Monster High – I belong at Ever After!"

"You belong with your precious little boyfriend, don't you?" Eros spat.

"Please, dad!" Cupid pleaded. "I love him, and he loves me!"

"That's not important if he's going to distract you from your schoolwork and your future." Eros said.

"But daddy, you always say that love is the most sacred feeling one could feel, the best gift from god! Didn't you say that everyone should follow their true hearts? And that helping people do so is our job?" Cupid said.

Eros was stunned for a second. He remembered when he had loved a normie – a beautiful girl living on the coasts of the Mediterranean – but gods weren't allowed to date humans, so he had to leave broken hearted.

"Chariclo, go to your room." He said quietly. Cupid ran into her room, crying.

Eros felt his knees go weak and he sat back down on the couch. Cupid really did seem to love that boy. But what about her?

A little while later, Cupid's sobbing deceased, and it was replaced with the sound of singing – yes, Cupid was singing from her room.

O mio babbino caro,mi piace, è bello bello,

Eros had never heard her sing opera before, and it was a beautiful sound. He sighed. He knew what he had to do. It was him that said one should follow one's true heart, after all…
