A few days have passed since the incident with Bane attacking the school. Since then thanks to the help of the Batman, or the Dark Knight, the superpowered criminal has been sentenced to a secret fairy tale jail for especially dangerous criminals until further notice. Meanwhile Headmaster Grimm has managed to get the gymnasium repaired and the school looked like it was as good as new, like nothing had ever happened.
Things were finally starting to look like they were going back to normal at Ever After High.
Currently Cerise Hood was racing her wolf friend, Carmine through the trees and bushes. She clearly had the advantage as she managed to stop at first, but Carmine clearly wanted to go for another lap.
"Sorry, Carmine. I'd love to race again but I got to get back to school."said Cerise, as she petted the head of a disappointed Carmine.
Carmine responded by licking her, causing her signature Red Hood to fall off her head and reveal her wolf ears.
"My ears!"said Cerise, who quickly put her hood back on.
"Go find our pack."instructed Cerise, causing Carmine to nod his head in agreement before running back to the pack.
Cerise meanwhile stood up and looked around, before letting out a sigh of relief, as it appeared that no one saw her wolf years, so she decided to go back to Ever After High. Unkown to her, Kitty Cheshire had seen the whole thing and was now smiling her signature Cheshire smile.
"Hehehehehe."giggled Kitty before she disappeared.
Meanwhile Cerise made it back to the school, relieved that no one discovered her secret.
"You beat that wolf in a race."said Kitty, getting Cerise's attention as she turned to face her.
"How do you do it?"asked Kitty with clear sarcasm in her voice, as it was clear she knew the answer.
"I'm all ears..."
"Kitty, you can't tell anyone about that."said Cerise, feeling like no one would understand her secret.
"Heheheheheheh."giggled Kitty again before she disappeared, with her signature Cheshire smile being the final thing to stay before it disappeared too.
"What's going on?"asked Bruce, as he and Raven approached Cerise from behind.
Cerise growled at them with her wolf eyes before she noticed it was them.
"Raven, Mr Wayne."said Cerise, upon noticing them.
"If there's something you want to get off your chest, I'm all ears."said Bruce, as he motion for Cerise to sit on a nearby bench.
"You wouldn't understand."said Cerise, feeling like he would never get what she was feeling.
"You mean how you're not only the daughter of Red Riding Hood, but also the Big Bad Wolf."said Bruce, shocking Cerise as she wondered how he knew that!
"Ha...When...How?!"asked the girl, wondering how her teacher knew that.
"I'm considered the world's greatest detective back in my world. Also it was pretty obvious from your preference to meat, the fact your eyes turn wolf like when you get upset, and you make sure that your hood stays on at all times."said Bruce, as Raven was shocked to say the least.
"But... why didn't you say anything?"asked Cerise, wondering why?
"Because who your parents are shouldn't matter. You are Cerise Hood, nothing is going to change that. If your parents want to be together then they should be allowed to be together."said Bruce, as his parents Thomas and Martha Wayne taught him that people who want to be together should be allowed to be together, no matter who they are.
"Thanks... Mr Wayne... it kind of feels nice that I can share the secrets with someone."said Cerise, pulling out a locket that had her family portrait.
"It is a relief to tell someone that my family is keeping a secret."said Cerise as she opened the locket.
"Wait! Your mom Red Riding Hood married the Big Bad Wolf. Don't worry, I won't say a word."said Raven, as Cerise is her friend.
"Me neither."said Bruce, as it was clear that keeping the secret meant a lot to Cerise, and he needs to respect her wishes.
"Thanks, you two."said Cerise, before looking for Kitty disappeared.
"But it's not you that I'm worried about."said Cerise, knowing that Kitty will try something.
...
(Later)
Later at the track. Cerise, Daring, and a pig were stretching as they prepare to run laps.
"We're running laps today. Which you'll find important when some crazy old bakers try to eat you."said coach gingerbread man, still haunted by the memories of almost getting eaten.
"Okay, now ready, set!"said coach gingerbread man before he blew his whistle, telling the runners to begin running!
Meanwhile Kitty appeared out of nowhere as a wagon suddenly appeared with her moniker.
"Kitty."said Raven, wondering what the Cheshire was up too.
Kitty meanwhile winked at a nearby caterpillar, who opened up the wagon to release the stag that was inside.
Cerise noticed the stag and her wolf instincts went into overdrive as she began running after the creature, causing the deer to begin running around the course as Cerise passed Daring and the pig rather easily.
"Oh, no."said Raven, realizing that this was bad.
Meanwhile the stag ran back into the wagon for safety, and as soon as the deer was out of sight, Cerise went back to normal as she realized what she had just done.
"So Cerise! Anything you want to um...tell us."asked Kitty as she reappeared with a smug look on her face.
Raven tried to think of something when she felt someone grabbed her shoulder, she looked inside was Mr Wayne who did and he winked at her as she smiled as it was clear he had an idea.
"I am very impressed that those speed shoes that I gave you are working."said Mr Wayne, as he pointed out that Cerise wasn't wearing her normal shoes.
"What?"said Kitty with shock.
"Mr Wayne asked me to test out his new shoes, and they turned out to be a success."said Cerise, as Raven remembered that Mr Wayne gave Cerise new shoes in the case that Kitty tried to pull something.
"As for you, young lady. I think we should have a chat in my office as I don't think that stag is in that wagon willingly."said Bruce as he grabbed Kitty by her arm and started dragging her to his office, but to his surprise she wasn't struggling.
"Raven, you and Mr Wayne are the best."said Cerise, as Raven was glad they could help.
"Although I think Kitty won in the end."said Raven, feeling that victory was bittersweet.
"What do you mean?"asked Cerise, wondering what Raven meant by that.
"I think she purposely got in trouble on purpose so Mr Wayne would pay attention to her."said Raven, pointing out how Kitty seem to be blushing and smiling as Mr Wayne dragged her to his office.
"I see what you mean... lucky."said Cerise, with a final part under her breath.
"What was that?"asked Raven, who could have sworn she hurts Cerise say something under her breath.
"Nothing..."said Cerise, glancing her eyes back and forth as Kitty continued being dragged to Mr Wayne's office.
Short chapter. I will do these here and there in order to keep the story interesting and up to plot.
