Chapter 6: True Hearts Day Part 1
Hey everyone for the big episodes or specials I plan to extend them into multiple chapters so I can get in all the details. As for the last chapter I'm glad everyone enjoyed the seeing Poppy fight the Heartless cause I have plans for the other students as well. Please leave a Review and enjoy.
It was a beautiful Spring Day at Ever After High and everyone was enjoying it, unaware of a big surprise coming up.
Inside the library Dexter was walking Roxas through how to use his new Mirror Phone. "I still don't see why I need this Dexter." Roxas said as Dexter was climbing a book shelf.
"Trust me Roxas having a Mirror Phone is a good thing, if you want to find us you can dial or numbers and find a meeting spot, you can go on the internet and play games, and if those monsters show up you find out immediately where they are." Dexter said climbing down with the book he wanted.
"Oh I know where they go, it's where ever I am." Roxas mumbled.
"What you say?" Dexter asks.
"Uh how does this thing know?" Roxas quickly recovered.
"Don't worry you'll get it as you go along. Can you help me get these books to Cupid?" He asks putting some in his hands.
"Cupid?" Roxas asks curious.
"Oh, right you never met her, Cupid is the Daughter of Eros the God of Love when her arrows his someone their hearts show them their true love." Dexter said as Roxas
picked up the remaining books.
"Her arrows help your heart show you the way?" Roxas said curious.
"Trust me it works." Dexter said as they approach a girl with pink hair, a pink dress, and wings on her back. "Hey Cupid anyone sitting here?" Dexter said dropping the books on her table.
"Yes, I mean no! I mean please sit." She said as Roxas places the remaining books down.
"Hi, you must be Cupid." Roxas said.
"Yes I am." Cupid said when the three of them were hushed loudly by the two librarians making them jolt in surprise.
"The Evil Step Librarians are so wicked." Cupid said softly.
"I know right? Last week they made me reorganize the forbidden book section in the library. Look at what I found." Dexter pulls out a book with an image of a tree with a
pink glittering gem in the shape of a heart in the center.
Cupid gasps. "The History of True Heart's Day? Oh Dexter you are such a sweet-"Before Cupid could finish the two librarians slam a ruler down in front of them telling them to be quiet.
"What's True Heart's Day?" Roxas asks.
"It's a totally hexcellent holiday that encourages everyone to follow their true heart's desire." Cupid said with excitement.
Roxas looks down and sighs. "My heart's truest desire, hat to tell you this Cupid but I don't this is a holiday for me." He said getting up to leave.
"Not the holiday for you? But it's about following your heart how can he say no to that?" Cupid asks worried.
"You should show this to someone maybe we can have a party or a dance to celebrate." Dexter said.
Cupid nods in agreement as she takes the book and leaves the library.
In the Enchanted Forest Roxas was walking along the lake thinking about True Heart's Day. "Just my luck my first holiday here and it celebrates literally the one thing I don't have." He lets out a sigh. "Maybe I should talk to someone about this whole following your heart thing, the only think I ever followed was missions."
As he continues walking he looks to see Hunter and Ashlynn sitting by a tree on a wooden table.
"Hunter and Ashlynn maybe they can give me some advice." Roxas said walking towards them.
Hunter draws back his bow and arrow and fires the arrow right through vines of flowers creating a crown of them which float down onto Ashlynn's head.
"Hey guys." Roxas calls out getting their attention and quickly freak out and what they thought he was doing before calming down.
"Hey Roxas, what's up?" Ashlynn asks.
"I saw you guys out here and I know you're just hanging out to get a break from school, but I need your help." Roxas said as both Ashlynn and Hunter sigh in relief.
Right before they could give him an answer a girl dressed like a ballerina and Sparrow show up. The girl is Duchess Swann daughter of the Swan Princess. "Say cheese." She said snapping pictures of Hunter and Ashlynn.
"Aw curses." Hunter groans.
"Oh uh hey Duchess, Sparrow I didn't see you what's going on?" Ashlynn said in a panic tone.
"You two are totally busted!" Sparrow sang on his guitar.
"Man I hate it when he does that." Roxas groaned covering his ears.
"Ashlynn, Hunter the better question is what are you doing here? Having a secret romantic rendezvous?" Duchess smirks.
"We need to find a better picnic spot." Hunter said.
"What does she mean?" Roxas asks not sure what anything that she said meant.
"Please you three can't tell anyone Hunter and I are secretly dating." Ashlynn said.
"Oh yeah well I'm gonna. Ash this is gonna knock you down the Royal Rankings, but don't worry I'll take your place and your Happily Ever After." Duchess laughs as she walks
away.
"Bummer, PRINCESSS TO BE- "
"SHUT UP!" Ashlynn, Hunter, Roxas and Duchees yelled stopping Sparrow from singing again.
After Duchess and Sparrow left Roxas, Hunter, and Ashlynn walked slowly back to school with an uncomfortable silence going on.
"If it means anything I wouldn't have told anyone." Roxas said hoping to break.
Ashlynn sighs. "Thanks Roxas, but Duchess is going to post that all over school."
"Well maybe you could talk to someone who's on your side that can help you figure this out." Roxas suggests.
"Well the only other person who knows is-" Ashlynn slowly smiles. "Thanks Roxas, come on Hunter." She said as the two of them run out of the forest as fast as they could.
"So those two were a couple like Sora and Kari. What goes on inside people to make them want to be with another person so badly? I wish I could understand why." Roxas said confused.
As he walked through the hallways Roxas noticed that everyone was looking on their electronic devices to watch Cupid's show. "Now my Love Tale Friends, this is the part of the Mirrorcast where I try to solve your romantic problems. So, Fragile in Fairyland, what's in your heart?" Cupid asks putting someone on.
"Uh well I uh." Roxas looks behind him to see the stuttering coming from Dexter who was talking through his Mirror Pad. "I kind of, no I do have a crush on this girl names Raven." Dexter said oblivious to Roxas.
"Raven Queen? You have a crush on Raven Queen?" Cupid said as she and all the viewers were shocked.
"Did I say Raven I meant Racheal!" Dexter panics. "Anyway, whenever I see her I get tongue tied, what should I do?"
"How about putting your feelings into a letter?" Cupid suggests.
"That is a great idea!" Dexter getting other people's attention, before he could continue Roxas covers Dexter's mouth.
"Everyone is staring and I've made a fool of myself saying the wrong things at the wrong time." He whispers and Dexter nods before they ran down the hall.
"Uh how did you know?" Dexter asks when he was sure the coast was clear.
"I was literally a few feet from you when you said you liked Raven." Roxas said causing Dexter to slump.
"What's the big deal? All our friends say they like Raven." Roxas said.
"Yes, but how I like her is different. When I see Raven my heart beats like crazy, she's kind, and if people took the time to talk to her they'd see she's a cool girl." Dexter said.
"That's an interesting way to describe a friend." Roxas said.
"Cause people mostly say stuff like that when they're in love." Dexter said confusing Roxas.
"Love again why does that word and hearts seem to be so related to each other?" Roxas said holding his head.
"You'll figure it out when a girl makes you feel this way." Dexter said walking away to write his letter to Raven.
"This holiday has me more confused than my first week at the Organization." Roxas sighs.
In the main hall of Ever After High a large bird flies in with a large bag of party supplies. "I got party supplies! C.A Cupid!" He honks as Cupid quickly runs over.
"I'm Cupid." She said quieting him down.
"Just sign here." He holds out a paper for Cupid to sign. Once he hands over the party supplies and leaves Cupid runs into Headmaster Grimm.
"Party Supplies?" Grimm asks.
"Uh, yes Party supplies for the uh- "Cupid is interrupted as Briar and Hopper come to her rescue.
"Our play." Briar said as all three of them nod.
"And what exactly is the name of this play?" Headmaster Grimm asks causing Hopper to choke and transform into a frog.
"It's called "The Play that almost was And then wasn't But then was." Hopper said.
"Very well." Grimm said leaving the hall just as Roxas walks in and notices the three of them.
"Hey what's going on?" He asks.
"Oh Roxas great timing, I know you said this holiday might not be for you, but the three of us are working on a huge True Heart's Day Dance and I want you to come." Cupid said.
"Wait what?" Roxas said confused.
"Come on this is a holiday for everyone." Cupid smiles.
"Cupid please how can I enjoy this holiday about hearts when I don't even have one?" Roxas asks, but Briar, Hopper and Cupid chuckle.
"No heart? This guy?" Hopper smiles.
"Roxas you don't need to be scared it's just a party." Briar said.
"But guys- "
"Here's an invite be sure to bring it or they won't let you in." Cupid hands him a piece of paper with a heart on it before taking the party supplies and leaving.
"These people are something else." Roxas groaned.
In another part of the school Duchess was showing Blonde her footage of Ashlynn and Hunter.
"I don't know Duchess this is a big scoop, but Ashlynn and Hunter are my friends." Blonde said.
"If you don't report this someone else will." Duchess said when gasps echoed through the hall.
Everyone looks to see Ashlynn and Hunter holding hands proclaiming to everyone that they are a couple.
"No! They can't own it! Now I'll never get my Happily Ever After." Duchess groans.
"Oh, hey Duchess." Ashlynn smirks holding up Hunter's hand to signal they beat her at her own game.
As they walk away the two of them come face to face with Apple. "Ashlynn, you and Hunter are dating? But you're a Royal and he's a Rebel." Apple said in shock.
Before they could answer Sparrow appears behind them with his guitar. "Totally Awkward!" He sang before the new couple walked away.
Watching them from the end of the hall Roxas saw what just happened. "This could make things complicated." He said.
