Chapter 5: Two Roybels
Hey everyone thanks again for continuing to read my story and thanks for all your support. In this chapter I put a little something in from Disney that I think you'll like. Please leave a review so I know how I'm doing.
Disclaimer: I do not own Kingdom Hearts or Ever After High.
It had been about 2 weeks since Roxas first came to Ever After High and today someone else would start their first day. Today was the first day of Ever After High for Poppy O'Hair twin sister of Holly O'Hair and daughter of Rapunzel, since Holly is the older sister she got her mom's destiny, so Poppy doesn't have one.
"Have you decided on your classes?" Baba Yaga asks while filling out multiple papers.
"I'm sorry I haven't." Poppy said causing Baba Yaga to stop what she was doing. "On one hand Magicology sounds like a blast literally, but Hero Training sounds hexcellent too. Who wouldn't want to spar with a dragon?" Poppy said.
"Well you must choose today, classes start tomorrow." Baba Yaga said as Poppy left to decide.
"So how did it go with Baba Yaga?" Holly asks.
"I kinda got thrown through a loop she says I have to choose a destiny by the end of the day." Poppy said depressed.
"Maybe it will help if you ask everyone what they love about their sides of the story?" Holly suggests.
"Thanks Holly you're fableous." Poppy said hugging her sister.
In the Cafeteria Poppy was talking to Apple.
"Being a Royal isn't easy, you have to work really hard to keep your kingdom happy, but you do get to date Princes and live in enchanted castles. Of course, you may have to eat a poisoned apple to get there." Apple said.
Outside on the track field Poppy met with Tiny the giant (I know creative right).
"If you're a Rebel you don't have to be bad, or dislike beanstalks, or the people who climb them." Tiny said.
At a Zipline Poppy met with Briar.
"If you're a Royal you live every day to it's fullest!" Briar said before jumping down on the Zipline when Cerise walks over.
"But isn't it more important to be who you want to be than hide who you really are?" Cerise asks.
"Totally wicked point, who did your highlights?" Poppy asks as Cerise backs up quickly.
"Uh my mom uh gotta go." Cerise hops on the Zipline and slides down.
In the Cafeteria Poppy was sitting down still trying to figure out her destiny when Holly walks over with a tray. "Still haven't decided yet?" Holly asks.
"No they all made such good points." Poppy sulked when a figure walks past them getting Holly's attention.
"Hey Poppy there's still one person you haven't asked yet." Holly smiled.
"Who?" Poppy asks as Holly points to Roxas who was exiting the Cafeteria. "Who's that guy and what's with the black coat?"
"His name is Roxas and like you Poppy he doesn't have a destiny either, so he might be the perfect person for you to talk to." Holly suggests.
"Holly you're the best." Poppy smiles before running after him. "Hey Roxas!" Poppy yells.
As Roxas exits the school he turns to see Poppy had finally caught up with him before stopping to catch her breath. "Wow you're fast." She said breathing heavily.
"Thanks, do I know you?" Roxas asks.
"No, but you might know my sister I'm Poppy O'Hair and I want to ask you a few questions." She said.
"Sure, but I was about to go to Book End." Roxas said.
"Cool I'll ask you as we walk." Poppy said following him.
As they reach the plaza Poppy was almost finished asking him questions. "So, you take both Royal and Rebel classes?"
"Yeah since I don't have a destiny I've been trying both, so I can figure out my own path." Roxas said.
"That sounds perfect." Poppy said writing it down when she notices Roxas' expression turned serious. "Hey Roxas, is something wrong?"
"Shh we're being followed." Roxas whispers startling her.
"What?" She said freaking out as Roxas grabs her hand and runs.
They were running down the plaza past some shops when in front of them at least a dozen Shadow Heartless appeared out of the ground startling Poppy.
"What the Fairy Tale?!"
"Trust me there not as bad as you think." Roxas said summoning Oblivion and charging towards them.
As Poppy watched the battle in shock 6 Shadows spot her and pursue her causing her to run. Turning around to see how far away from them she was Poppy accidently crashes into a cooking booth and falls to the ground. "Oh man that hurts." She said picking herself up.
As the Heartless surround Poppy fear engulfs her as she crawls backwards hoping to avoid them.
As she moves back her hand touches a handle when she picks it up she sees she grabbed a cast iron frying pan. "S-Stay back." She said standing up holding the frying pan like a weapon.
One Shadow lunges forward, acting on instinct Poppy swings the frying pan like a bat and smashes the Heartless to pieces.
"What the?" Poppy looks at what just happened for her expression changes to a grin.
Poppy charges swinging her frying pan knocking three Shadows out with ease. "Oh, man I have got to get me one of these." She smiled.
The reamainng Shadows step out of the way as a Soldier walks forward.
Poppy holds up the frying pan ready for battle.
The Soldier lunges releasing a barrage of kicks which Poppy blocks with her new weapon. "You should now this is the weirdest fight I've ever been in." Poppy said when the Soldier knocks the frying pan out of her hands. "How about 2 out of 3?"
Before the Soldier could attack again Roxas grabs it by its helmet and throws it into the shadows. "Thundaga!" Lightning bolts rain down from the sky destroying the remaining Heartless.
"Whoa." Poppy said in awe as Roxas goes to pick up her frying pan.
"Sorry about getting you involved, but I gotta say you're pretty handy with one of these."
"Thanks, do you fight those things all by yourself?" Poppy asks.
"Sort of, everybody else gets to scared and expects me to do it or others can't seem to beat them." Roxas said.
"Can't seem to beat them? Well tell that to me and my frying pan." Poppy smirks spinning it in her hand.
Roxas chuckles before bursting into laughter. "I don't know why but for some reason Rapunzel and Frying Pan seem to fit."
Poppy bursts into laughter as well. "It does it really does."
Roxas thought back to whenever he and Axel would defeat some Heartless they would celebrate. The warm feeling from that memory came back to him after he and Poppy
defeated these Heartless.
"You know what Poppy you deserve a treat for today, follow me." Roxas said walking away.
Outside the Wonderland Tea Shop Poppy was waiting as Roxas comes out holding two Popsicles.
"Here you go the icing on the cake." Roxas smiles holding one out to her.
"What is this?" Poppy asks.
"It's Sea Salt Ice Cream a few days ago I gave the idea to Maddie to make this in her shop and she loved it so much she bought a freezer just, so she could make these." Roxas said.
Poppy reaches out and takes one and gives it a taste. "It's sweet, but also salty."
"Is it good?" He asks.
"After dealing with those things back there this actually hits the spot." Poppy smiles.
Roxas looks at the Ice cream and smiles softly. "Whenever me and my buddy Axel hung out at the end of the day we would climb to the top of giant clock tower, eat one of these, and watch the sunset." Roxas said as the memory of Twilight Town came back to him.
"Sounds like good times." Poppy said.
"They were the best, so Poppy have you made your choice about your destiny?" Roxas asks as they entered the school.
"Yep Holly and Baba Yaga are in the Student Rec. Room." Poppy said looking at her mirror phone.
'I really need to get me one of those.' Roxas thought before they met up with Holly.
"So have you made your choice?" Holly asks.
"I've decided I'm not gonna decide on a side." Poppy said shocking everyone in the room except Roxas who didn't see the big deal. She even caused Humphrey Dumpty to fall over in shock.
"Wait a spell you must choose something." Baba Yaga said floating over.
"After talking with everyone it's clear, being a Rebel or a Royal is totally hexiting and from Roxas I saw a totally different side I didn't know was possible. So, I'm gonna flip
the script and choose both sides." Poppy said handing Baba Yaga her class choices causing everyone to cheer.
"I like your style I've been trying to choose my best side and well I choose both." Daring said holding up two mirrors.
Roxas walks over to Poppy with a smile. "Looks like I'm not the only one who's trying to find a different path."
"Nope and if you ever need help with those monsters again." Poppy holds up her frying pan.
"Easy there Poppy those were easy if you're serious about fighting them you're gonna need some serious training." Roxas said.
"Bring it on us Roybels gotta stick together." Poppy said.
"Roybels?" Roxas asks.
"Since we both don't have a destiny and we're trying both side we're both Royal and Rebel a Roybel." Poppy said.
Roxas smiles. "Well Poppy I think you and I are gonna be good friends." He said as they shake hands signifying a new friendship.
