Chapter 19: Ginger in the Breadhouse

Hey everyone I'm back with a new chapter that I hope you all enjoy. Also I have been asked my many readers if Roxas will travel to other worlds and to answer the question yes he will along with a different team of Ever After Students each time. Please enjoy and leave a review those help motivate me.

It was late at night in the dorms of Ever After High as a shadowy figure was placing wrapped boxes in front of all the dorm rooms.

The next morning everyone wakes up to see the boxes in front of their rooms.

"What's this?" Namine asks opening to find sweets inside. "How nice."

As she was about to taste one of the cookies a small girl with white hair by the name of Helga Crumb ran up to her.

"Do not eat the sweets!" She yelled startling Namine.

"Cousin, Ginger Breadhouse made them!" Helga yelled.

In the boy's dorm Gus Crumb her cousin was freaking out just like she was.

"Her mother used candy to lure your mother and my father to their doom and now she's trying to lure us too!" Gus yelled.

All the boys and girls throw the cookies out the window agreeing with them.

"Oh, come on you're not gonna try them just because of what Ginger's mom did to Hansel and Gretel?" Raven asks.

Both Raven and Namine take out a cookie and eat them causing all the girls to gasp in shock.

"Wow these are beyond hex-tacular." Raven said.

"These might be the best sweets I've ever eaten." Namine said.

"Thanks." A girl with long pink hair in pig tails and glasses steps in from the hallway.

"It's Ginger Breadhouse!" Helga yells as all the other girls run in fear.

"I'm sorry for how they reacted." Namine said.

"It's alright I'm used to it." Ginger sighs.

"I can't believe they think you're going to follow in your Fairy Tale footsteps." Raven said.

"Me neither. I just want to bake for everyone, but I can't even get Helga and Gus to try my treats." Ginger said sadly.

"Some people are just afraid to go off book." Raven pauses to think. "You know I happen to know a guy who would be happy too." Raven said putting her hand on Ginger's shoulder.

"Really?" Ginger said surprised.

"Yep Roxas will make an excellent taste tester." Raven said.

"But what about Helga and Gus what if he's listened to them?" Ginger asks.

"Roxas isn't one to judge people by things like that." Namine said.

"Trust me if people see him eating your sweets everyone will want to have some." Raven said assuring.

"Well tell him to come to the kitchens around 3 and I'll have him try some." Ginger said walking away.

"Roxas is definitely a good start to help someone like Ginger." Namine said.

"Yep and once Roxas shows her treats to a few others we can help them see Ginger is nothing like her story." Raven said.

"I'm in." Namine said in agreement.


That afternoon Roxas walks into the kitchen where Ginger was baking. "Uh hello? Are you Ginger?" He asks.

Ginger pops her head out of the oven with a tray of cupcakes. "Yes, I am you must be Roxas."

"Raven said you needed a taste tester, so I'm here to help." Roxas said.

"Uh just out of curiosity Roxas what do you do with the box of sweets that I leave by the doors?" Ginger asks afraid of what the answer might be.

"I don't do anything before I even take a bite Gus knocks the box out of my hand and throws them out the window and yells you're trying to poison us." Roxas said.

"And what do you think?" Ginger asks.

"They told me the story about Hansel and Gretel how your mom used sweets to lure them in, so she could cook and eat them." Roxas said.

"Yes." Ginger said sadly knowing where this might go.

"But that's no you is it?" Roxas asks surprising her.

"No, I I just want to bake sweets for people." Ginger said.

"Well then I'm pretty sure I count as a person can I have some?" Roxas asks and a smile appears on Ginger's face.

"Absolutely." She hands him a cupcake with chocolate frosting.

Roxas takes a bite and a smile appears on his face. "Wow this is amazing."

"Thank you I just wish other people would try them." Ginger said.

"Well what if you opened up a stand and got someone who's opinion could change how people thought of you." Roxas looks around and notices Ginger's MirrorPad had a picture of a chef on it. "What about this guy?"

"Jack Horner? He's the greatest chef in all of Ever After." Ginger said surprised.

"I bet Raven could help you out and I can help too, if you set up a stand Jack Horner will taste your treats and he'll love them." Roxas assured her.

"You know what, I'll do it I'll go." Ginger pulls out a basket of sweets. "Here's the rest of them Roxas, I have to go, time to make my dream come true." Ginger said running out the door.

Roxas looks at the basket of sweets. "Oh man no way I can eat all these by myself. Maybe I'll find someone to eat these with."

Picking up the basket Roxas leaves the kitchen.

"Well let's see if I can get anyone else to try Ginger's sweets." Roxas said walking up to Dexter and Humphrey. "Hey guys you want to try some of Ginger's treats?" He asks
holding up the basket.

"Ginger?! No…I want to live!" Humphrey said running away.

"Sorry Roxas uh I'm not 100% sure about those." Dexter said walking away.

"Does everyone in this school think Ginger is like her mom?" Roxas asks himself before walking away.

At her locker Cerise was putting away her books when Duchess walks over. "Hey Cerise have you heard? Apparently, Melody loved her date with Roxas so much she's writing
her own music mix for him." She teased before walking off.

"Grr that girl always seems to yank my hood." Cerise said slamming her locker before letting out a sigh. "But she's right I was too worried to make the first move, no I can't think like that it's not official yet, so I still have a chance." Cerise said motivating herself.

Walking away from her locker Roxas spots Cerise and walks over. "Hey Cerise." He calls out getting her attention.

"Uh hey Roxas. What's with the basket?" She points.

"Oh right." He reaches in and pulls out a cupcake with vanilla frosting. "This is for you." He said surprising her.

"Me?" Cerise asks.

"Yeah I mean if you don't want it I'd-"

"No no no! I mean sure I'd love one." Cerise interrupts and Roxas hands it her. She takes a bite a smile appears on her face. "These are amazing."

"Thanks, I'm helping Ginger give out some sweets, but nobody else wants to give her a chance." Roxas said sadly.

"I feel for her, it's hard to get people to accept that you're different. So how many others have tried some?" Cerise asks.

"Honestly, just you, Raven and Namine. But the girls said they had a plan to help out Ginger and basically left me with a whole basket of sweets. Do you uhm want to just hang out and have some with me?" Roxas asks as a blush appears on Cerise's face.

"Really? Uh yeah sure sounds great." Cerise said.

"Great." Roxas said as the two of them walk out to find a place to eat.


Outside the school on a bench the two of them were eating sweets while exchanging stories.

"So as everyone in school erupts into an argument about who should be president Maddie comes up with the solution that both she and Apple would be president." Cerise said.

"As Mad as that girl is she has some pretty smart ideas." Roxas said impressed.

There was a brief silence before Cerise opens her mouth.

"Hey, Roxas what's the deal with you and Melody?" She asks.

Roxas puts down the cookie he was eating. "I'm not sure what you mean, but Melody is someone close to me, I don't know why but when I'm around her I feel…like I have a
heart." Roxas turns to Cerise. "You make me feel the exact same way."

A smile appears on Cerise's face. "Even with the whole?" She lifts up the hood to reveal her wolf ears.

"Yeah they're just ears. Besides you're Cerise Hood, you don't take anything from no one." Roxas said.

"Never have never will." Cerise smiles proudly.

"Exactly and I know I can always count on you because you're amazing that way." Roxas smiles causing her to blush.

"You're the best." Cerise said leaning in and kissing him on the forehead causing him to freeze. "See ya round." Putting her hood back on she walks away.

'Why is it whenever a girl does that to me I freeze up?' Roxas thought as Cerise walked away.


A few days later a limo pulls up in front of Ever After High and a man with blonde hair steps out.

"Look it's not so little Jack Horner!"

"The celebrity chef?!" Blondie gasps as all the students ran to him.

"I got some Mirror Mail that your school has a chef that makes the tastiest treats and I just had to try." Jack said as he signed autographs.

"The step no further." Raven said as she, Roxas, Namine and Ginger were in front of a little stand.

"Those treats! She makes them to lure you to your doom!" Gus Crumb yells as his cousin Helga panicked.

"Well you only live once upon a time." Jack said stepping forward. Namine hands him a pie and Jack takes a taste.

"That is out of this kingdom!" Jack walks over to Ginger. "Hey, can you make some more for my restaurant?" He asks.

"Sure." Ginger said with joy.

"See Ginger just wants to make treats for people." Namine said.

Everyone looks at each other before taking a bite and almost instantly they all ran to the stand and took every desert.

When Gus and Helga arrive to see none were left a frown appears on their faces, until Ginger holds up a tray of sweets. The two of them smile as they end up inhaling all the
treats in a quick motion creeping them out.

"How can they eat so fast?" Roxas asks.

"I don't know, but clearly they need to be taught table manners." Namine said.

Ginger walks over to them. "I owe you three so much for helping to give me the confidence to do this." Ginger said.

"Anytime Ginger." Raven smiles.

"With sweets like these, they need to be shared." Namine said.

"And if you need a taste tester I'm available." Roxas said.

"Thanks guys." Ginger said hugging the three of them.
