Spells and Louds
Chapter 147: Into Book End
I don't know if some of you guys know the land of Ever after High. I have been a fan of it for as long as it aired. Enjoy.
(Spellman Estate)
Neil and the rest of the family including the Pokemon are all dressed for winter and prepare to leave. But first they have to wait for company.
They are now waiting by the Great Gate. "So where the heck are they?" asked Sergei.
"They'll be here. We just have to be patient" said Leon.
Soon they spot Becky and Dana inside her car, Lori inside of Vanzilla and Peter on his bike and Sam in her truck.
Among them were also Lucy, Carol, Whitney, Teri, Fiona, Miguel, Jackie and Mandee.
Then the Rosato van arrives and drops off Jordan.
"Sorry about being late guys, Lola kept insisting to come with me. Mom had to make sure she stayed put" said Lori.
"We brought our Pokemon with us as well" said Becky.
"By the way, are you two ready for your big match tonight?" asked Dana.
"For the NXT Tag Team Championships. Damn yeah!" said Leon.
"We are goi9ng to win it!" said Sergei.
"And we'll be there to cheer you guys on" said Neil.
"Why are you here Lucy?" asked Leni.
"I had nothing else to do today, so I decided to come along and see the Evil Queen or her daughter Raven" said Lucy. "I even brought Shard with me."
The Nerubian Scarab sniffs through the snow and eats a dead mouse.
"Okay, that was gross" said Sunset.
"Alright. Let's get going then. I wanna see how fast Rapidash can be in their enchanted plains" said Peter.
They all step through the portal and they were back in Ever After High.
Some of their friends were amazed by the place, even though its winter it still looked amazing.
They even spot Apple and Darling on they're dragons.
"It seems Evil Queen's teachings are doing well for Ever After" said Neil.
"Everyone seems happy about this" said Lincoln.
Then they spot Duchess Swan Spellman, Briar Beauty, Raven Queen, Maddeline Hatter, Lizzie Hearts, Rosabella Beauty and CA Cupid.
Even the two dragons land and Apple and Darling join them.
"You guys made it! And you brought some of your friends" said Duchess.
"We told them about the village of Book End being your world's version of the mall, so they wanted to come along as well" said Leni.
"My friends are busy with something else" said Lincoln.
"They have their own things to do back in Royal Woods" said Linka.
"Glad I don't have any plans" said Jordan.
"Welcome to Ever After I do hope you all will enjoy your time here" said Apple.
"Sure beats trying to save it from annihilation" said Leon.
"And being frozen in place" said Sergei.
Neil sighs and looks at his two brothers. "Let's not talk about it guys."
Then Lucy approaches Raven. "Can I see your mom?"
"I'm sorry what?" said Raven.
"Looks like someone is a fan of your mom!" said Maddie.
"She is and she really wants to meet her" said Lincoln.
Raven was hesitant at first. But she could see just how much of a fan Lucy really is, even if you can't see her eyes Raven can see through them.
Raven smiles. "She's at the dragon arena."
"Wicked. Do I need an escort?" asked Lucy.
"I can come with, I'm not much of a fan of going to malls or places to shop stuff. Plus I wanna get a chance to see this worlds version of dragons up close" replied Sergei.
The duo then make their way towards the dragon arena.
"So, where's Book End?" asked Mandee.
"I wanna see how amazing it is" said Jackie.
"I wanna see how they style hair and facial" said Miguel.
Duchess chuckles and liked to see how excited they were. "Come on, just follow us."
"You guys are so going to love this place" said Briar.
"And we can all have lunch at my dad's tea shop!" said Maddie.
Then they see Peter walk away with Rapidash. "Umm, sir where are you going?" asked Lizzie.
Peter turns around. "You guys go on to your fun. I'm gonna go and ride like fire with Rapidash here."
He then hops onto his Pokemon and they make their great race to the open fields of this world.
"Leave him be guys. Peter is not much of the kind of person to be in large areas with many buildings. Sometimes" said Neil.
As they continue walking Raven spots Dexter and they both wave to each other. Dexter forgot he was holding the ladder and his brother Daring falls into a large pile of snow.
"Seriously brother. What are you- Oh hey Rosabella" said Daring.
Rosabella giggles and waves back.
"So, is that your boyfriend?" asked Carol.
"His name is Daring and his brother Dexter is Raven's boyfriend" said Rosabella.
"Sounds like you two could be related one day" said Fiona.
"I'm sorry what?" said Raven.
"By the way, how did your mom feel when she heard that you were dating Dexter Charming?" asked Neil.
"Well, she was a bit shocked and also intimidated by him. But she saw how dork-like he is and he does show smarts and he cares. So she's warming up to him" said Raven.
"Sounds like your mom is getting a bit protective over you now" said Timmy.
"She's my mom what am I supposed to do?" said Raven.
While they are walking they notice Apple and Darling holding hands.
"Umm, are you two dating?" asked Teri.
Apple looks to the others. "Well, yeah we are."
They all gasp. Except for their Ever After high friends.
Darling giggles. "We'll tell you guys when we reach our destination."
Meanwhile none of them have noticed that they just passed by Gyro who was talking to Headmaster Giles and they didn't even notice them walking by.
"By the way, what are those animals you have with you?" asked Rosabella.
"We'll tell you guys when we reach our destination" replied Linka.
CA Cupid looked to all of them nervously. She wanted to ask them something, but she knows it can wait.
(Tower Salon)
They all relax as the teens get their hairs done by Holly and Poppy. The O'Hair twins.
They needed some help, so Miguel volunteered to show them what he can do with teens and hair, especially with Whitney's large blonde hair.
"Wow and I thought I had big hair" said Holly.
"You have long hair sweetie" replied Miguel.
Neil is sitting on the chair getting his hair trimmed by Leon.
Dana is relaxing with the hair dryer, she does notice Leon. "How are you good at haircuts?"
"Better yet, where did this skill came from?" asked Gwen.
Leon stops and looks at the mirror and is amazed by his own parlor skills. "I have no idea how god am I this."
Neil was confused as well, but he was impressed by his younger brother's hair cutting skills.
Leon gave him a light shave, he gave Neil a slight military buzz cut and a few good trimming on the top.
"Does Sergei know about this?" asked Neil.
"Not really. We should tell him later" said Leon.
Lincoln and Linka are also getting their hair well fixed up and so did Timmy.
Rosabella petted the fur of Absol. "So what are these guys anyway?"
They soon explain to them all about Pokemon and that their town is now a living space for some species.
This was amazing to hear, they continued on chatting about what they've all been doing and what it was like in their world of earth.
Lizzie tells them about her mom and her off-with-you're-head words.
Briar describes herself as one gal who wants to live it all and party all the time, but she hates it when she falls asleep.
Maddie just starts speaking words that only Raven could translate, she was decided to speak Wonderlandish.
Rosabella tells them about how her relationship with Daring is going and they were amazed that the prince who always thinks about his looks is now becoming a prince who would truly care about others.
Duchess also says that her relationship with Sparrow is now back to being friends again, she's trying to see if he likes her as more than a friend.
Neil is a bit protective hearing that. But he then feels like he wants to know if this Sparrow Hood truly does care others more than his stupid out of control rock music.
They also tell them that Cerise Hood has revealed her wolf ears and that her mom Little Red Riding hood is married to the Big Bad Wolf, which meant Ramona Wolf is her sister. At first people didn't seem comfortable with this. But then they learned to understand just how amazing she was, wolf ears and all.
Faybelle is still going through her punishment and they heard that one of her punishment was to turn Rumplestiltskin's straw into gold for one week and to write a paper report about all of her mistakes in more than 5,000 words.
Sally Whitemane has been doing great as the temporary ruler of the land, she even made good terms with the Queen of Hearts, Sleeping Beauty, Belle and the Mermaid kingdom. She even provided new sturdy Azeroth defenses and magic for the Ever After kingdom. She was more excited to be visiting Wonderland.
Then they all look to Apple White and Darling Charming.
"So, how did you two hit it off?" asked Sam.
"Yeah, Sam and I are also a thing and we wanna know how it went" said Luna.
Darling decided to go first. "Well after the whole incident with the change to Ever After. I went to comfort Apple and it worked, we talked for a bit and it kinda turned awkward when we touched hand."
Apple continued. "It was then I realized I did have a small crush on Darling and what id di next was completely surprising." She blushes madly and so does Darling.
Gwen's eyes go shocked and wide. "You kissed!"
This causes Apple and Darling to bluish again. "Y-Yeah, it was the second time we kissed" said Darling.
"To be fair you kissed me first when I was under the sleeping spell. Which could've killed me" said Apple.
"I was giving you CPR Apple" said Darling.
"And they also call it the kiss of life" replied Leni with a smile.
"So I guess we decided to see how far this small relationship of ours will go, I am a princess and so is she" said Darling.
Apple then holds Darling's hand. "I am the future Queen of the lands and currently the Princess who seeks her prince Charming and I found my true love, my Princess Charming."
Darling blushes as she intertwines her fingers with hers.
The others thought it was sweet and awed at this moment.
"You think Lola is gonna freak out from this?" asked Leon.
"Pretty sure man" replied Neil.
Neil then notices CA Cupid was silent since they first arrived to the world.
(Wonderland Haberdashery and Tea Shoppe)
They all enjoy eating scones, cupcakes, pies and drinking tea. Though Neil, Leon and Gwen bought some Lattes from another shop, they weren't in the mood for some tea.
"Lola would literally love to be here" said Lori.
"Totes" said Leni.
Raven then smirked. "I'm pretty sure she won't like what happens next."
"What do you mean?" asked Dana.
The students then cover their ears, so they do the same as well.
Then all the clocks hit twelve and they all trigger with whistles, horns, cuckoo birds and trumpets.
Soon the sound was gone. "What was that?!" asked Whitney.
"That my friends was the Wonderland madness of my dad's Shoppe!" said Maddie.
Then the Mad Hatter arrives with more pies. "Why thank you my dear darling daughter of mine. Now who wants more pie?"
"I could use some seconds" said Luna.
"Me too" said Timmy.
Neil then looks to CA Cupid. "Alright Cupid, what's the problem?"
They all look to her with confusion. Cupid takes a deep breath and talks.
"I heard that you know Headmistress Bloodgood of Monster High. Well I was once a student there" said Cupid.
Some of them gasp. "But why were you a student there?" asked Dana.
"Yeah, you're like not a monster" said Leni.
"Plus Cupid is the daughter of Eros the god of love" said Fiona.
They all look at her confused. "What? I learned that from my middle school days" replied Fiona.
"Well, I was a student. I actually had a radio station in which I solve love problems other monsters had. They made sure that their identities remained a secret" said Cupid.
"Like the one you have at Ever After High" said Lizzie.
"Wow! Now that is mind blowing!" said Maddie.
"So, why come here to Ever after?" asked Lori.
"Well it turns out that this world has some love issues that needed some of my romance expertise. So I transferred" replied Cupid.
Deep down she still didn't want to reveal that she had a crush on Raven's boyfriend Dexter. It would be awkward.
"I hope my ghoul friends are doing well at Monster High" said Cupid.
"I'm sure they are Cupid. They even went to our world to shop at the mall" said Sunset.
"Let me guess, Cleo brought her servants?" asked Cupid. The teens nodded.
"Of course she did" replied Cupid.
Soon after lunch at the Tea Shoppe, they explore more of the village, clothes stores, jewelry shops, book stores and they even get some new shoes from the Glass Slipper Shoe store and meet up with its owner Ashlynn Ella and her boyfriend Hunter was bringing in new shoes from delivery.
It was now time for them to head on home. They all head for the Great Gate.
"Well this was one heck of a day! I hope we can come back here again" said Carol.
"I am so going to wear my new shoes at the mall tomorrow" said Fiona.
"The girls back in Royal Woods high will be so impressed with this awesome dress" said Mandee.
"Same with me" said Jackie.
"I'm gonna try out those hair styling techniques Poppy told me, see how the customers like it" said Miguel.
"Bobby will literally love this dress, once I invite him to the winter dance party" said Lori.
"I'm gonna share some of these books to mom and see how she like them" said Jordan.
They then turn to the Ever After High girls. "Thanks for this awesome shopping day girls" said Leni.
"Well you are the friends and family of Duchess, so we wanted to see how you guys liked this place" said Raven.
"So, how would you guys rate our world? From down the creek or Wonderland-tastic?" said Maddie.
They all chuckled and responded. "Wonderland-tastic!"
Duchess then hugs her family. "I really enjoyed having you guys here."
They also responded with a family group hug. "We enjoyed being here as well Duchess" said Gwen.
"And we're looking forward to having you around for Christmas as well sis" said Luna.
Then they see Peter, Sergei and Lucy arrive.
"So, how was your day?" asked Lincoln.
"Wicked! Evil Queen was very welcoming and even let me ride with her on her dark dragon" said Lucy.
"I am terrible at Dragon Riding" replied Sergei. "Also whats with the Cotton Candy breathing dragon?"
"That would be my little flying friend" said Maddie.
"What about you dad? Did you and Rapidash enjoy the open plains?" asked Sam.
"Damn right we did! We even met up with Cerise, Ramona, their Big Bad Daddy wolf and a wolf pack. We ended up racing" replied Peter.
"And who won?" asked Lizzie.
"It was a tie between Cerise and Ramona, Rapidash and I were second, the wold pack was third and their dad was last. He really is letting old age make him less fast, but he does pack a mean wind gust" said Peter.
"He huffs and he puffs those who make him man" joked Briar.
"Well we should all be heading back home now" said Linka.
"Well see you soon Duchess" said Sunset.
But then Duchess hugs Neil one more time. "I can't wait for Christmas dad."
Neil smiles and hugs her and kisses her forehead. "Me too my little duckling, me too."
The students thought this was very sweet, Duchess really is trying to become soft to others.
They then break the hug and Neil heads through the gate. Duchess knew that this was the start of a new life for her, the other students knew this was the start of new adventures for them.
They all now understand that "The End is just the Beginning …."
