Chapter 25: A Twist in Time

Hey everyone I'm back, deciding to try something new I put the entire adventure for the Castle of Dreams into one chapter. This is the longest chapter I've ever written so far and it took me awhile to get everything figured out. I hope you all enjoy the twists I've added to this world. If you like this and want me to do Mega Chapters for the worlds from now on tell me. Please review and enjoy.

On the Tempest the kids of Ever After High were still trying to take in the startling news about the first world they must save.

"M-My mother is in danger?" Ashlynn asks worried.

"That's impossible, your mom is back in our world." Briar said.

"Roxas what's going on?" Bunny asks.

"I'm not sure, but we'll be coming up on the Darkness and we're going right to the source of it." Roxas said steering the ship.

In her seat Ashlynn puts her hand on her head trying to process all this information when Hunter and Apple walk over to her.

"Don't worry Ashlynn I promise I won't let anything happen your mom or this version." Hunter said.

"Hunter I'm scared Yen Sid said if anything ruins these worlds Ever After is affected too. What if I end up disappearing?" Ashlynn asks.

"Hey, hey don't talk like that we are not going to let you disappear." Apple said grabbing Ashlynn's shoulders.

At the wheel Roxas was trying to get them to Castle of Dreams quickly when Blondie walks up with her MirrorPad.

"Shocking news people of Ever After, Blondie Lockes here with a big story. Appreantly our first mission by Yen Sid is having us go off to save a counterpart of none other than
the famous Cinderella, the mother of our very own Ashlynn. We now go to Roxas on the plan to save her." Blonide turns it to Roxas. "So Roxas what's the plan?"

"We're going to the cause of this, once we land all of us are going to save Cinderella and makes sure this problem is gone." Roxas said.

"Brave words from our fearless traveler, we'll be back with more when we land. This is Blondie Lockes." She said turning off the recording.

"You brought your MirrorPad?" Roxas asks.

"I'm a reporter I go where the action is and the people of Ever After deserve to see this." Blondie said.

"Roxas tell us what exactly the status of this world is?" Raven asks.

Roxas brings up the map and points. "The darkness is just starting it's at this point here. We're going to stop before anything happens."

"Perfect we just drop down beat the bad guys and come back here to celebrate." Daring smiles.

"If only missions were that easy." Namine said knowing from experience.

"We're coming up on the Castle of Dreams." Dexter said they all look to see a beautiful, tall, castle off in the distance.

"Whoa is that Cinderella's castle?" Cerise asks.

"It's beautiful." Lizzie said.

"Roxas are you sure darkness is coming from here?" Maddie asks.

"Oh, it's not coming from there." Roxas said.

"Then where?" Alistair asks.

Roxas lands the Tempest on the outskirts of the castle as everyone gets out Namine hands Ginger a speaker.

"If anything happens call us and we'll come running back." Namine said.

"Good luck out there." Ginger said waving goodbye.

They walk closer to find a dark and gloomy house deep in the forest.

"Well you don't a pen to connect these dots." Dexter said.

"Stay close." Roxas said as they approached it.

Ashlynn looks at the house curiously. "I don't know why, but this place seems familiar." She said.

"Maybe we'll run into your mom here." Darling said.

"I wonder what this version is like?" Briar said.

At the back of the house they heard two people arguing. They sneak around back to see a young woman with red hair in a fight with an old lady in blue while another young woman in green and an old woman in purple was watching, at their feet was a fat black cat.

"Give that back to me!" The old lady said.

"No way grandma! Bippity Boppity Boo!" She yelled as a magical blast fires from the wand ricocheting off multiple objects and blasting the cat.

The kids from Ever After High gasp in shock.

"There's only one person who says that to cast a spell." Kitty said.

"The Fairy Godmother." Cedar said.

"And are those?"

"Lady Tremaine and the Evil Step Sisters Anastasia and Dirzella." Ashlynn gasps knowing those names by heart.

"If that's the case where's Cinderella?" Raven asks looking back.

Anastasia pulls the wand away. "Bippity Boppity Boo!" The blast fires off the axe and the wood basket hitting the Fairy Godmother turning her into a statue.

Lady Tremaine's eyes widen in surprise as she reaches out and takes the wand.

"So, this is how Cinderella did it. Girls with this we can undo Cinderella's tricky and get what's rightfully ours I call upon all the forces of the Universe." Lady Tremaine holds up the wand.

"We can't let her finish that sentence!" Cupid yells as they all charge toward them.

"Bippity Boppity Boo." Lady Tremaine said as green blasts shoots out of the wand. From it a storm appears. "Reverse the Moon and Sun, turn back the tide and time, unravel
Cinderella's happily ever after to the moment my troubles began!" Lady Tremaine said as the green fog surrounds everyone.

"Roxas what's happening?!" Namine asks.

Alistair held Bunny close as the fog surrounds them.

"This is what the warning meant." Roxas said as they find themselves back at the house only it was daytime, and the house looked perfect.

"Uh anyone want to tell me what the heck just happened?" Sparrow asks.

"I don't know, but where are we?" Cerise asks looking around.

"Look the house." Melody said as they all look at its condition.

"This is mad even for me." Maddie said when a carriage pulls up nearby.

"Ah hello children." They turn to see man dressed in blue with a monocle walking over. "Tell me is this the House of Tremaine?" He asks.

"Uh yeah." Hunter said not sure what was happening.

"Excellent, bring it out." The Grand Duke claps his hands and a man walks out with a glass slipper on a pillow causing them to gasp.

"Yes, it's quite something, whoever fits this slipper will become the Prince's bride." He said as he walked in.

They all raced to the window to see what was about to happen.

"I don't believe this." Bunny said.

"We went back in time to the very moment Cinderella's destiny came true." Holly said.

"But then we also know what happens next." Raven hints.

"The stepsisters fail, Cinderella comes down, tries on the slipper and poof she marries the prince and lives happily ever after." Cupid said.

"And once that happens we go in, take the Wand, and get back to our time." Cerise said.

"So, all we need to do is sit, wait, and watch one of the greatest moments in Fairy Tale history." Apple said as they all watched Anastasia sit down at the chair.

They hold up the slipper to see her foot was at least 4 times bigger.

"Oh, this is going to be funny." Kitty chuckles as Blondie takes out her MirrorPad.

"And recording." Blondie said.

"They'll be lucky to get that over one toe." Briar giggles.

They all watch the man struggle to put it on her feet doing all they could to hold back their laughter.

"It's even funnier when you see it happen with your own eyes." Cedar said.

Lady Tremaine seeing this takes out the magic wand and waves causing Anastasia's foot to shrink to size where the glass slipper fits with ease.

"It fits!" Anastasia said with joy.

"It fits?" The Grand Duke said surprised.

"It fits?!" Everyone from Ever After High said in shock.

"It fits." Lady Tremaine grins holding up her daughter's foot with the slipper on it.

"B-B-But that's impossible, that's my mother's slipper." Ashlynn said in shock.

"Is anyone else worried about what might happen next?" Melody asks.

"An Evil Stepmother has the Fairy Godmother's wand." Dexter said as everyone's eyes widen in realization.

"She could take over the kingdom." Maddie gasps.

"Everyone look." Bunny points.

Inside they see Lady Tremaine on the stair case with a woman with blonde hair and dressed in what looked like rags.

"That can't be I danced with the Prince, that was my slipper, look I have the other one right here." She said taking out another glass slipper.

"I don't believe it, Ashlynn that must be this world's version of your mom." Hunter said.

"You may have danced with him, you may have thought it was love, but the slipper fits Anastasia and that's who he's marrying. Whatever you think happened last night was all a dream." Lady Tremaine knocks the slipper out of Cinderella's hands causing it to fall to the ground and shatter. "I don't care where you go or what you do, but you stay away from the palace, stay away from the prince." As she walks down the stairs Lady Tremaine looks over.

"Oh and pick up that broken glass." She said laughing as she and her daughters walked to the carriage leaving a devastated Cinderella.

Ducking for cover as they walk by Roxas looks inside. "Roxas what do we do?" Holly asks.

Roxas gets up from his hiding place and walks inside with them all following behind him.

"Are you okay?" He asks.

"I'm sorry young man, but the one in charge is gone." Cinderella said not even looking at him when suddenly a small mouse ran up to Roxas.

"Ven Ven! You came back!" The mouse said surprising him and Cinderella.

She looks and smiles. "Ventus it is you." She said running down to him.

"What happened Ven Ven? We thought you went looking for friend?" Jaque said when he notices everyone behind him. "Oh, lots of friends."

"Uh Ventus?" Roxas asks when he remembers Vanitas called him by the same name. 'Why do people call me that?' He thought.

Roxas looks to the mouse. "Look I'm not this Ventus guy my name is Roxas and we're all here to help you."

"I think it's sweet you all came, but you came all this way for nothing. My dream is over." Cinderella sighed.

As a tear hit the ground multiple clanking noises were approaching the house.

"Uh guys we might have to save the pep talk til after this." Cedar points and approaching the group were at least two dozen Soldier Heartless.

"Well handle these things, Roxas try to talk some sense into her." Raven said as she, Daring, Hunter, Cupid, Maddie, Sparrow, Melody and Lizzie walk out.

"Alright just like Roxas taught us. Lizzie, Hunter, Cupid clear us a path." Raven said as both took out their bows while Lizzie got her Croquet Mallet.

"Off with their heads!" Lizzie smacks a croquet ball sending it smashing into a Soldier's skull sending it falling to the ground.


With the battle outside going on Roxas and the rest of the team watch Cinderella walk over and pick up the broken pieces of her slipper.

Ashlynn walks over to her and helps pick up the pieces. "Such a beautiful slipper, that night must have been magical." Ashlynn said.

"It was, for just one night everything seemed perfect. It felt so much more than just a storybook romance from just one dance all my troubles went away, and it felt so much more than just a dream." Cinderella said bringing a smile to Ashlynn's face causing her to stand up.

"You have to go to the palace." Ashlynn said startling everyone.

"Ashlynn what do you mean?" Apple asks.

"That evil witch may have the slipper, but they forgot one thing, the Prince knows who he danced with at the ball I bet if we could just get her to see him." Ashlynn said.

"Then we can fix everything." Briar smiles.

"But how are we going to sneak into the palace?" Cinderella asks.

"Lucky for us we brought along the sneakiest cat in the world." Blondie said as Kitty walks forward and does her signature disappearing act.

"Cinderelly we can do this! We can find your prince!" Jaque said in excitement.

"We'll get you to the Prince and leave the rest to you." Namine said.

"You children are so sweet." Cinderella said turning to Ashlynn. "Although for some reason I feel like I've met you before."

"I uh just have that kind of face." Ashlynn said choosing to say anything about her family history.

"Hey uh guys let's go outside and help the others." Alistair said as they run out to finish the Heartless leaving the two of them alone.

"Who are you?" Cinderella said looking at her.

"Someone who wants you to have your Happily Ever After." Ashlynn smiles.

Cinderella cups her cheek. "I wish I had met someone like you a long time ago, I just know we would have been close."

Ashlynn smiles widely hearing her say that. "Well what are we doing standing around here? You can't live your life in your dreams if you want them to come true."

"You're right it's time to get my Once Upon a Time." Cinderella said taking a cloth and wrapping it around her hair.

Ashlynn stared in awe at seeing her this determined. "You two aren't going anywhere without us." They both turn to see Roxas and Hunter standing by the door.

"Hunter." Ashlynn smiles at her boyfriend.

"Cinderella your escorts to the palace are ready when you are." Roxas said and Jaque climbs onto his shoulder.

"To the Prince." He declares.

"You guys finished them already?" Ashlynn looks out to see Alistair and Darling stabbing the last Soldiers with swords.

"Turns out having a big team means you get the job done quicker." Roxas smiles.

"Are you sure you're not Ven Ven?" Jaque asks.

"Pretty sure little guy." Roxas chuckles.

Cinderella walks outside to see all of them looking at her with smiles on their faces.

"All of you want to help?" She asks.

"We would consider it an honor." Daring said and everyone nods in agreement.

"Then let's get going." Cinderella smiles leading them to the palace.

"I can't believe we're actually going to the palace with the Cinderella." Poppy whispers.

"May not be our version, but still." Apple said.

"Hey Ashlynn, are you okay?" Briar asks.

"I'm helping my mother find her destiny…I'm at a loss for words." Ashlynn said.

"Roxas this is hands down one of the craziest adventures in Ever After history." Cerise said.

"Yeah, I don't think the people of Ever After would ever believe this." Roxas said.

"Roxas we can barely believe this." Melody said.

"There it is." Maddie points and in front of them was a little town and behind it was the palace.


About an hour later they were looking at the front gate of the palace where the gate was closed, and two big armed guards were standing in front of it.

"You know this might be the first time I've ever gone to a palace and they didn't roll out the red carpet for me." Daring said.

"I don't even think my mom can't sneak past a gate that big." Kitty said.

"Maybe we should try the servant's entrance." Cinderella suggests.

"Hey, won't they ask questions if they see all of us in the palace?" Cedar asks.

"Leave that to me, I have an idea." Namine said as they see a woman with brown hair and a green dress at the door.

"Excuse me what business do you have here?" She asks looking at Cinderella.

"Oh you see..." She tries to think of something when Namine steps in.

"We're the school children from the village and our teacher brought us here to meet the king himself." Namine said gesturing with her hand behind her back for everyone to play along.

"Oh yes uh we can't wait to see the King." Raven said nodding her head.

The lady looks at her list. "Miss, I oversee everything that goes on in the palace and we have no record of a field trip of any sorts." She said in a huff.

"Well you must have forgotten to write it down because she came and talked to you." Namine said waving her hands and the staff lady shook her head before looking at
Cinderella and smiling.

"Oh yes of course, now I remember these children are the future of our kingdom I hope you enjoy your visit." The Lady said letting them in.

"Namine how did you do that?" Darling asks.

"Altering memories is my specialty." She smiles.

"Impressive." Roxas said as they entered the hallway. "Alright everyone split up into groups we'll cover more ground." Roxas said as Daring, Dexter, Darling, Sparrow, Cupid and Blondie went down one hallway. Alistair, Maddie, Bunny, Kitty, and Lizzie went down the other.

"Alright we got this hallway." Apple said as the she, Roxas, Raven, Cerise, Ashlynn, Hunter, Melody, Poppy, Holly, Briar, Namine and Cinderella ran down it looking for the Prince.


In another part of the castle Daring's group were searching the rooms for the Prince.

"Anything?" Dexter asks.

"Nothing, this palace is overwhelmed with empty rooms." Blondie said.

"Hey, I just realized something she never told us what this Prince guy looks like." Sparrow said.

"You're bringing this up now? Are you serious?" Daring asks when a man with black hair and white shirt walks over.

"Hey uh are you kids lost?" He asks causing them all to jump.

"Oh uh sorry sir." Darling said hoping her wouldn't bust them.

"No worries, I get lost in this place so many times. Follow the paintings and the armors and you'll find the carriages." He points.

"Uh why are you helping us?" Dexter asks confused.

"I'm in a really good mood right now about to see the love of my life." He smiles.

"Oh, how romantic." Cupid sighed.

"What's her name?" Darling asks.

"That's the thing I never got it, all she left behind was a glass slipper." He said causing their eyes to widen. "Well have a great day I know I'm about to." The Prince said running off.

"We found him! Awesome!" Sparrow said shredding on his guitar.

"Wait a minute, we ran ahead of Cinderella so that must mean." Dexter said.

"He's going to meet The Stepmother." Blondie finished.

"Alright here's the plan after his majesty realizes the stepsister is not his Princess we grab him and take him Cinderella." Daring said and all of them nod in agreement before
following the Prince.

They arrive at the door and peek inside to see him meeting with Lady Tremaine and seeing Anastasia.

"Oh, uh hello am I in the right room? Um I think there might be a mix-up." The Prince said.

"Oh no your Majesty you see the slipper fits my daughter." Lady Tremaine said.

"See." Anastasia said holding it up.

"How can he miss it?" Drizella said sarcastically.

"Oh, I see it it's just uh I was expecting someone else." The Prince said shocking Lady Tremaine.

"Yes Ashlynn was right." Dexter smiles.

"True Love never fails, not even something like this could stop that." Cupid smiles.

"Be ready to intercept." Daring said as they listened in.

"But the royal proclamation?" Lady Tremaine asks.

"Well it appears more than one girl can fit the slipper. I am so sorry to inconvenience you, I'll have the carriage bring you all home." The Prince said turning to the door.

Lady Tremaine furious by this points the wand at him. "Bippity Boppity Boo." A blast fires out hitting the Prince.

They all gasp at the sight as the Prince walks back to propose to Anastasia.

"Love is not something that should be forced." Cupid growls opening the door. "Your majesty get away from her!" Cupid said startling everyone.

"I didn't realize brats were allowed in the palace." Drizella said the others in her group get behind Cupid.

"Listen you old witch we know what you're doing, and we won't let you get away with this." Daring accuses.

"Oh is that right, your majesty these children have such wild fantasies, perhaps we can move this to another room?" Lady Tremaine asks.

"Of course, come along darling." The Prince said with Anastasia and Drizella following him.

"Listen you little brats, you have no idea what I have been through." Lady Tremaine's expression changed to evil. "It took me years to finally widow my way into wealth and now I plan to go all the way to royalty."

"You're a monster." Darling growls.

"Maybe, too bad you children won't be alive to tell anyone. Bippity Boppity Boo." She waves her wand and in front of them a Large Armor Heartless appears in front of them. "Ta ta children I have a Kingdom to inherit." Lady Tremaine said leaving.

"That thing is completely covered in armor." Dexter said.

"Not every part." Cupid pulls back her bow and fires an arrow hitting it in the head. "Aim for the head we have to get out of here warn Cinderella!"

Daring and Darling drew their swords, Sparrow gets his guitar ready and Dexter's pistols appear.

Blondie not having a weapon goes behind them with her MirrorPad recording everything.

"Let's go!" Daring yells as they charge at the Large Armor.

"Rock on!" Sparrow slams on his guitar and the shock waves cause the Heartless to shake. Dexter fires plasma blasts from his pistols from his pistols causing the Large Armor
to fall to the ground.

"Daring! Darling Now!" Dexter yells.

The two of them charge and slash multiple times at the Heartless before it swats its arms at them causing the two Charmings to fall backwards.

The large armor stands up and jumps high into the air before dropping down on them causing everyone fall in pain.

"Man that thing packs a punch." Sparrow groans.

"Cupid, Dexter can you hit that thing in the head again?" Darling asks.

"Easy." Cupid said.

The Large Armor jumps at them again, but Cupid fires her bow knocking the wind out of it. Daring charges with his sword and slashes the Armor turning it into a heart
defeating it.

"Nice job Daring." Dexter said.

"Thanks brother." Daring smiles.

"Come on we better find Cinderella and tell her what happened." Cupid said.


In another part of the castle the kids from Wonderland were searching for the Prince when they came across a large door.

"A door that big always has something we might need." Alistair said.

They open it to find themselves overlooking the ballroom. "Whoa this place would be great for throwing parties." Maddie said looking around.

"Well if we do our job right maybe a wedding party will take place here." Lizzie said.

They hear footsteps below them and look to see the Prince dancing with Anastasia or at least trying to she kept stepping on his feet and messing up.

"Meow that lady has two left feet." Kitty said cringing at her horrible dancing.

"She looks like terrible." Bunny said.

"The Prince can't honestly think she's the one can he?" Alistair cringes.

When the dance ends a short man with white hair walks out. "I'd like to have a word with my new daughter in law immediately." He said startling everyone.

"If that guy is the King, then that must be the Prince." Alistair said.

"Lets go." Maddie said as they ran after the King as they arrive at his chambers they come to a stop.

"Bunny, Kitty lay low and don't get caught." Alistair said as Bunny changed to rabbit form and Kitty turned invisble.

The two of them walk in to see Anastasia with the King. "Your majesty I'm sorry about earlier I have a condition that-"

"You miss are a dreadful dancer." The King laughs.

"Yes I am." She admits sadly.

"Reminds me of my Queen she danced all over my feet too, but she took very good care of my heart. Come my dear I want to give you something." The King said leading Anastasia to a desk with Bunny and Kitty right behind them. "A Princess is given many things land, riches, horses, but today I want to give you something much more." He opens a heart shaped box to reveal a pink sea shell.

"A Sea Shell?" Anastasia asks.

"This shell was the Queen's most treasured possession, we found it walking by the water the day we met, we reached for it at the same moment and when our hands touched I knew I had found True Love." The King said as Bunny and Kitty looked at the old man and smiled.

"Just from one touch?" Anastasia asks.

"My dear there is nothing more powerful in this world than True Love." The King said handing her the shell.

Bunny and Kitty seeing that it was over left the room. "Let's meet up with the others, we might have a problem." Bunny said.


With Roxas's group they were searching the castle, but so far have come up short. Looking through multiple rooms Cinderella found herself on a walk way filled with flowers as she stared at in awe Roxas and was talking with the others.

"Any luck?" Roxas asks.

"We must have searched at least 100 rooms." Namine sighed.

"Why do rich people need to have such big castles in the first place?" Raven asks.

"This isn't even a fun castle, I'm serious half those rooms just and pictures everywhere and one ballroom." Briar said.

"Next time we find a map for these worlds." Hunter said as they walked out only to have the Prince walk right past them towards Cinderella.

Ashlynn gasps. "That's him." They all run out to see Cinderella walking towards him and Ashlynn had a big smile on her face.

"Oh, here it comes they'll meet and then they'll fall in love right in front of our very eyes." Apple said.

"Hello, your majesty it's nice to see you again." Cinderella smiles.

"Uh I'm sorry have we met?" He asks.

"We did, last night at the ball." She said.

"I uh think you have me mixed up for another Prince." He said.

"Well you were an amazing dancer." Cinderella said.

"Well it wasn't just me it was my…. partner." He said looking into her eyes when suddenly his eyes glow green putting him back under the spell. "In fact, I'm gonna marry
her."

"Marry?" Cinderella smiled.

"Well you only meet a girl as amazing as Anastasia once in a lifetime." The Prince said shocking Cinderella and everyone watching.

"Anastasia?" Cinderella said confused.

"I'm sorry I need to go my father wanted to meet her himself." The Prince said walking off.

"But this isn't right." Cinderella moves toward him when the head staff lady walks over.

"Miss I'm sorry to tell you this but you and the others must leave." She said.

"Please just a few more minutes." Cinderella begged.

"What is happening? If he saw her he should know the difference." Holly said.

Cedar takes out her Revealer Rays. "What's going on?" He seems to be telling the truth."

"But we all know that's impossible." Cerise said.

They all watched in horror and in sadness as the Prince walked away from Cinderella.


Walking out of the place everyone was sad, but no one was sadder than Cinderella.

"Cinderella! Cinderella!" They look down the hall to see all their friends running towards them.

"We found the Prince!" Dexter said.

"So did I but he doesn't even remember me." Cinderella said.

"No he does he really does." Cupid said.

"Look at this." Blondie shows everyone her MirrorPad which had a recording of the Prince being zapped by the Fairy Godmother's wand.

"Magic? So that's what happened. He didn't forget me, she made him forget me." Cinderella smiles.

"What about the King? Does he have any suspicion?" Poppy asks.

"No in fact he loves Anastasia she's clumsy, a messy eater and the worst dancer I've ever seen but the King loves that because she acts just like his Queen." Alistair said.

"So, going to Daddy isn't possible without any proof." Hunter said.

"What do we do?" Naime asks when Roxas comes up with a plan.

"Everyone we have to steal us a magic wand." He said.


They all walk down the hall to see green lights shooting out of the chambers Lady Tremaine, Anastasia, and Drizella were in.

"Ok Roxas what's the plan? How are we going to sneak in?" Ashlynn asks.

"We aren't." Roxas reaches up to his shoulder and Jaque climbs on. "Jaque you're the only one that can do this, I need your help."

Jaque nods in understanding before crawling under the door.

"But what about the Prince?" Ashlynn asks.

Roxas pauses to think. "The Stepmother clearly used something to alter his memory we just need someone who can restore it." He said looking at Namine.

"You can count on me." She nods.

Suddenly they heard a crashing from inside. Cinderella looks to see Lucifer their cat running around with the end of his tail on fire.

"We need to get in there and help." Cinderella said.

Roxas looks around and gets an idea.

Inside Lady Tremaine, Anastasia and Drizella were picking up the damage when they heard a knock at the door.

"Who goes there?" Lady Tremaine demands.

"Complimentary Tea and snacks courtesy of his Majesty for his bride to be." A voice said.

Anastasia opens the door to see Maddie and Ashlynn pushing in a cart. "So, which one of you is the lucky bride?" Maddie asks pushing the cart in as the three of them have no idea Cinderella was under the cart ready to grab Jaque.

"I am." Anastasia said with joy.

"Congratulations would you like one lump or two?" Maddie said holding up the tea cup.

"Three please I love sweets." Anastasia said.

"Coming right up." Ashlynn said getting cups for them when Lady Tremaine glares at her.

She walks closer to Ashlynn. "Uh can I help you?" Ashlynn asks trying not to be nervous.

"There's something about you that seems familiar, something I've come to despise." Lady Tremaine snarled.

"Uh I'm sorry we've never met before." Ashlynn said looking away.

"Yes, it would appear so…Cinderella!" Lady Tremaine flips over the cart to see Cinderella sneaking toward Jaque.

"Cinderella?! You work here?" Anastasia asks clearly oblivious to what was going on.

"You are far more persistent than I thought." Lady Tremaine said as Cinderella gets up.

"I am not going to let you get away with this." Cinderella said.

"I already have." Lady Tremaine smirks.

"I don't think so. Maddie, Ashylynn, Jaque!" Cinderella yells.

Both Maddie and Ashlynn throw hot tea at them causing them to scream in pain while Jaque grabs the magic wand and runs out followed by them.

"The wand! After them!" Lady Tremaine yells as Lucifer chases after them. Once Maddie and Ashlynn make it out Briar shuts the door causing Lucifer to slam into it.

"Come on!" Roxas yelled as they all made a run for with guards approaching from the back.

"Roxas you take the others and find the Prince!" Cinderella said turning left while they ran right.

As Jaque was being chased by Lucifer he realizes he still had the wand. "Bippty Boppity Boo!" He yelled Zapping Lucifer changing him to the size of a lion. "Oh boy."

Roxas turns around to see Jaque in trouble. "Everyone find the Prince!" Roxas turns around and charges. As Lucifer pounces Roxas summons Oblivion and slashes him causing
him to jump back. "Time to play cat!" Roxas said holding up his keyblade.

Lucifer looks at Roxas in horror as an old memory of another Keyblade wielder causes Lucifer to step back in fear.

"Bippity Boppity Boo!" Jaque yells turning Lucifer to normal. "Roxas I'll go help Cinderelly you go find the Prince." Jaque said running off.

Roxas nods running off.

In his training room the Prince was practicing with a sword when Apple and Raven ran inside.

"Wow lots of people are in the palace today." The Prince chuckles.

"Please sir we need you to come with us." Raven said breathing heavily as she and Apple grab his arms.

"What the? Why?" He asks.

"Please it's a matter of great importance." Apple said as they ran out.

Cinderella was running as fast as she could with all the guards after her. When she enters the front of the castle, she slams a sword in between the door handles so the
guards couldn't get in.

"Cinderelly! Catch!" Jaque throws her the wand and Cinderella catches it.

"Cinderella over here!" Apple yells as the Prince runs into the room.

"Lift the spell let him remember! Bippity Boppity- "Before she could finish the guards break in and grab Cinderella.

"No!" Raven yells at what they were seeing.

Lady Tremaine walks over and snags the wand. "What's going on here?" The Prince asks walking towards them

"Nothing your majesty just a little trouble with my maid." Lady Tremaine said.

"It's under control sire." A guard said.

"Are you alright?" The Prince asks.

"This girl is a thief." The guard said.

"I am not! Please you're under a spell!" Cinderella reaches out to grab his hand but is pulled away.

As the guards pull her away Lady Tremaine looks to the Prince.

"I hope she's alright, she seemed fine when I met her. I mean a little confused when I met her, but still." The Prince said worried.

"Don't worry your highness I'll see to it personally she gets all the help she gets." Lady Tremaine said when Drizella runs over.

"Sorry, but we won!" She said.

"You will take care of her right?" The Prince asks.

"Personally." As the Prince walks away Lady Tremaine grabs a guard. "Put her on the next boat out of the Kingdom I want her banished." Lady Tremaine said causing Apple
and Raven to gasp.

In another room all the Ever After High Students had lost he guards and were hiding.

"Everyone but Raven and Apple are here." Namine said.

"I hope they found the Prince." Melody said when they came running in.

"We got trouble! Cinderella is being banished!" Raven said causing everyone to freak out.

"What?!" Roxas said.

"She plans on having Cinderella put on the next boat out of here!" Apple said.

"Roxas what do we do?" Poppy asks.

Roxas paces back in forth. "Okay here's what I got Cerise you're the fastest run ahead to the docks and find that ship, Namine I want you, Cupid, and Cedar to snap the Prince out of this spell, everyone else come with me, we got a boat to catch!" Roxas said running out with everyone right behind off to do their tasks.


At the Prince's chambers he was wondering what was wrong with him when Namine and the girls walk in. "Is everything alright your majesty?" Namine asks.

"Not really something seems weird." He said pacing back and forth.

"Your majesty we can explain everything." Cupid said.

"How?" He asks when Cedar reaches into her bag and pulls out a glued together glass slipper. "I don't believe it, is that the other slipper?" He asks.

"Your majesty Anastasia wasn't the one you danced with at the ball, it was Cinderella the girl you met." Cupid said.

"But I thought for sure it was Anastasia." He said.

"You said it yourself you danced with her elegantly throughout the night and when you touched you instantly felt something. Tell me does Anastasia make you feel that way?"
Namine asks.

"N-No it doesn't." The Prince admits.

"That's because Lady Tremaine she's Cinderella's stepmother and she hated Cinderella so much she put a spell on you to make you love Anastasia and not her." Cupid said
shocking him.

"She did that to me?" He asks not sure.

"Yes, she did and if we don't get you down to the docks you'll lose your only chance at True Love." Cedar said.

"I I don't believe this, I need to go find her!" The Prince said running out.

"Yes!" Namine and Cedar cheers.

"True Love conquers all." Cupid smiles.


At the docks Cerise was running as fast as she could looking from boat to boat. "Come on where are you?" Cerise looks around and gasps when she sees Cinderella being escorted onto a boat which was filled with Pirate Heartless. "Roxas I found her! 5th boat down! Heartless are attacking!" She yells.

Roxas and the others see the Pirates with their swords ready to strike. "Cinderella!"

Apple seeing one about to attack summons her staff. "Concentrate, focus. Fire!" Apple launches a little fireball that knocks the Pirate back away from Cinderella. "I I did it!" Apple smiles.

"Apple that was amazing." Ashlynn said.

"Charge!" Roxas runs onto the ship with everyone else right behind him.

The Pirates prepare themselves when Kitty appears behind them and whacks one with a bat. "Gotcha!" Kitty yells a Bunny jumps down and top of the Pirate crushing it into
darkness.

One of the Pirates climbs up and takes the wheel steering out into the water.

"Poppy!" Roxas yells to her being the closest one.

"Poppy charges and whacks it in the face with her frying pan sending it falling backwards.

The Pirate pulls out his sword and charges when out of nowhere a line of hair gets in his way causing it to slip and fall overboard.

"Nice, a hair trip wire." Poppy smiles at Holly's cleverness.

"I got your back." Holly said.

Raven blasts the Pirates with her magic unaware of one coming up from behind.

"Raven!" Dexter yells as she turns around to see it about to strike when Dexter pulls out a plasma pistol destroying in one blast.

"Whoa nice moves." Raven said impressed.

"Uh thanks, Roxas is a really good teacher." Dexter said acting nervous.

Melody fired music notes and Cerise delivers super-fast kicks. "How many more are there?" Cerise asks.

"Everyone hang on!" Briar yells as she spins the wheel hard causing many Pirates to fall overboard.

"Quick thinking Briar." Ashlynn smiles.

Briar turns and gasps. "Ashlynn!"

They look to see a Pirate making his way to Cinderella. As it pulls out his sword something jumps towards ship.

"Leave her alone!" They all look to see the Prince jumping onto the ship from the sail and slashing the Pirate to pieces.

A big smile appears on Ashlynn's and Cinderella's face.

"What did I drop in on?" The Prince asks.

"We'll explain later your majesty." Ashlynn said as he looks towards Cinderella.

"Remember me?" He asks bringing a smile to her face.

He reaches his hand out and the second they touch everything comes back to him the ball, the dance, everything.

Cinderella hugs the Prince as he spins her around before getting down on one knee. "Will you marry me Cinderella?" He asks bringing a smile to everyone's face.

"Yes, I will." She said causing everyone to cheer.

The Prince turns to the students from Ever After High. "You you all knew she was the one, didn't you?" He asks.

Roxas nods answering for everyone.

"Well then I think it's only appropriate you all come as guests to our wedding." The Prince said.

"That sounds just right." Blondie smiles.

Ashlynn looked in awe she would see a version of her mother's wedding.


Back at the palace they explained everything to the King.

"So, you see your majesty Lady Tremaine used a spell on your son to have him marry so she could inherit your riches." Ashlynn said.

"Using magic on my son? The nerve." The King growled in anger.

"Your Majesty we've gone over every inch of the castle, it appears they have fled." The Grand Duke said as the King stands up.

"Then search the entire kingdom! I want them found and arrested!" He yells before dropping back into his seat. "Keep in mind my old heart can only take so much, please tell
me that this is the girl you intend to marry." The King begged.

"Yes Dad, she is." The Prince smiles causing the King to jump out of his seat.

"Then what are we waiting for?! Fetch the florist, bake the cake, the wedding is on for tonight!" The King cheers.

As the sun was setting Roxas and his teammates were walking down the hall to see the happy bride before she walked down the aisle, and everyone was so happy.

"I can't believe we get to see one of the greatest Fairy Tale history." Blondie said excited hoping to record the whole thing.

"Hey guys I uh want to say something." Roxas said causing them all to stop in place as he turns around. "I know this was a crazy first mission and I'm not going to lie I was
scared at times." Roxas said.

"So were we Roxas, but you helped us through it and in the end, Cinderella gets her Happily Ever After." Melody said.

"Well I just want to say thanks for sticking by me through all this, we all make a pretty amazing team." Roxas smiles.

"And we couldn't ask for a better leader." Namine smiles.

"Well let's go wish Cinderella good luck on her big day." Hunter said when Jaque came running down the hall at full speed.

"Zug Zug! Cinderelly in trouble!" Jaque yells.

"Jaque what's going on?" Ashlynn asks picking him up.

"Stepmother came back, turned Anastasia into Cinderelly, gonna make her marry the Prince. She sent Rucefee to finish Cinderelly off once and for all!" Jaque screamed.

"I am really starting to hate this woman." Daring groaned.

"What's she gonna do to her?" Hunter asks when they heard a horse neighing as a giant Pumpkin tied it up with its vines and a large ugly man appears on the carriage.

"Does that answer your question?" Lizzie asks horrified when Ashlynn growled in anger.

"That is it!" Ashlynn yells startling everyone. "Roxas grab a team and bring her back! I'm going after that Stepmother!" Ashlynn said running towards the wedding.

"Whoa Ashlynn is terrifying when she's like that." Kitty said and everyone nods in agreement before they ran after her.

"Anyone know how to drive a carriage?" Roxas asks.

"Right here." Briar said.

"Alright Cerise, Poppy, Holly, Darling, Maddie come with me!" Roxas said as they ran to the carriages.

"We have to stop the wedding!" Namine said.

"I'm going to help Ashlynn!" Hunter said.

"We'll come too!" Apple said as she, Daring, Blondie, and Lizzie followed.

"Alright looks the rest of us are on the Wedding, whatever happens we can't let them get to kiss the bride until the real one shows up." Namine said as they all ran to the
wedding.


As the wedding was about to start Lady Tremaine and Drizella were making their way to their spot where they would see the wedding and her plan finally happen.

"Finally, after years all this power will be mine." Lady Tremaine smirks when she looks ahead to see Ashlynn holding a wooden staff. "You again." She snarls as Apple, Daring,
Hunter and Lizzie arrive with Blonde hiding nearby.

"You've gone through great lengths to ruin things for Cinderella, but I never knew one thing about, what Cinderella ever do to you?" Ashlynn asks not taking her eyes off her.

Lady Tremaine's expression turned dark. "Cinderella is the most pathetic human being to ever exist, always having that stupid smile on her face, and thinking that you can do anything if you believe in foolish things like dreams or True Love. It's disgusting I had the perfect plan to live the life of luxury I deserved, but then Cinderella had to fit that slipper and then my entire future was ruined." She growled.

"And you ruined Cinderella's entire future because of that." Hunter growl.

"Yes, and it was going so well until you brats came into this and helped Cinderella get the Prince again." Lady Tremaine said drawing the Fairy Godmother's wand. "But I will
make short work of all you."


Meanwhile racing through the forest was a carriage with Briar at the wheel and in the back was Roxas, Poppy, Holly, Maddie, Darling and Cerise. All of them looking around for any sign of Cinderella.

"Look up ahead!" Darling points up ahead to see a fat ugly man pulling the Pumpkin.

"Wait a minute, that's Lady Tremaine's stupid cat." Cerise said.

"I'll keep him distracted Cerise I want you and Maddie to get Cinderella out of that pumpkin." Roxas said as both girls nod in agreement.

As Briar brings the carriage closer Lucifer looks over to see Roxas summon Oblivion and Maddie pull out her Mallet. Both jump off and onto the Pumpkin.

From behind Cerise was climbing up the Pumpkin roots to see Cinderella trapped inside through a hole.

"Cerise!" She said surprised.

"Hang on we're getting you out of here!" Cerise said.

Roxas climbs up onto the Pumpkin and faces Lucifer who had an evil grin on his face. "Come and get it." Roxas said as Lucifer pulls out a sword and slashes at Roxas.

As the two of them clash Maddie smashes her Mallet into the Pumpkin multiple times eventually making a hole big enough for Cinderella.

Cerise and Maddie reach in and help Cinderella onto the Pumpkin.

"Alright ready? 1, 2, 3!" Maddie said as the three girls jump from the pumpkin to the carriage.

"Alright we got her!" Darling said pulling Cinderella inside.

Roxas looks over to see the plan had work and smiles, using the opening Lucifer swings a punch knocking Roxas down.

"Roxas!" Maddie said when they reach a canyon causing the carriages to go down different roads. Roxas and Lucifer were on the low road while everyone else was above them.

"Is there any way we can get down there to help him?" Poppy said.

"We'd need a really long rope to get to him, did anyone bring anything?" Cinderella asks.

"No, but I can think of something else that could work." Darling said as they looked at Holly's long hair flying in the wind behind them.

Holly smirks as she stands up and gives Poppy the longest strand. "Just like how Mom pulled dad up the tower." She said.

Poppy stands over the carriage taking a deep breath. "ROXAS DUCK!" Poppy yells jumping down and using her sister's hair like a rope and swings in towards them. Roxas seeing her fly in ducks just in time to see Poppy slam her frying pan right into Lucifer's face knocking him backwards.

"I got your back." Poppy said helping him up.

"Let's hit that so hard her loses all 9 lives." Roxas said.

Lucifer gets with an enraged look on his face until Poppy and Roxas slam their weapons into him causing Lucifer to fly out of the carriage and into the caverns below.

"Poppy that might have been the bravest thing I ever saw." Roxas smiles reaching for her hand.

Poppy blushes at his praise. "It was nothing really. Uh hey pull us up!" Poppy said as Darling, Cerise, Maddie, and Cinderella help Holly bring them up.

"You have really strong hair." Cinderella said impressed.

"I get it from my mom." Holly said as the two of them are pulled back into the carriage.

"Briar we have everyone turn this thing around." Darling smiles.

"You got it." Briar said as they return towards the castle.


Back at the castle Lady Tremaine was using the magic wand to keep everyone at bay hiding behind the wall Apple periodically came out to try and blast her with magic, while Hunter and Lizzie did the same with their arrows and various objects hit by Lizzie.

"We need to get closer!" Ashlynn said.

"Give me some cover!" Hunter yells charging in to get a better shot.

"Bippity Boppity Boo!" Lady Tremaine yells firing a green blast.

Hunter jumps out of the way and fires an arrow the grazes her shoulder causing Lady Tremaine to flinch in pain. "Bippity Boppity Boo!" She blasts the table in front of Hunter
bringing it to life.

"Hunter look out!" Apple said as the table charged ramming into Hunter sending him falling to the ground.

"Hunter!" Ashlynn yells running out to him. Picking him up she saw he only had a few bruises, but the attack had knocked the wind out of him.

"Sorry I made you worry." Hunter said before groaning in pain.

Ashlynn glares at Lady Tremaine. "My mother always told me that there's good in ever living thing, but today I found out she was wrong you might be the worst human being
in the world!" Ashlynn said.

"Flattery will get you nowhere." Lady Tremaine said.

"I won't let hurt my friends or anyone else anymore." Ashlynn said as light started to form in her hand, but she didn't notice.

"Let's see I think a toad will be perfect for you Bippity Boppity Boo!" As the blast fires straight at Ashlynn her gaze turns bright as the light expands around her staff allowing her to knock the blast away.

"No way." Daring said in awe.

"Incredible." Lizzie said.

Blondie was speechless at what was right in front of her.

When the light disappears in Ashlynn's hands was a Keyblade the blade part had taken the form of a star, the guard resembled the castle they were in, and the keychain at the end was a glass slipper.

"A-A Keyblade?" Ashlynn said in shock before her face turning into a smile. "My Keyblade." Ashlynn takes the battle stance she had seen Roxas and Namine make many times.

Lady Tremaine and Drizella just look in shock before Lady Tremaine snaps out of it. "Bippity Boppity Boo!" She fires blast after blast towards Ashlynn.

"Ashlynn look out!" Apple yells.

Ashlynn charges forward knocking the blasts away with her new weapon.

"She's giving us an opening…hit her with everything!" Hunter yells.

Lizzie pulls the helmet off a suit of armor and whacks it sending it flying knocking Lady Tremaine in the stomach knocking the wind out of her.

"Blizzard!" Apple coats one of Hunter's arrows with ice and he fires it hitting Lady Tremaine dead on startling her. She looks up to see Ashlynn right in front of her.

Ashlynn screams as she slams her Keyblade into Lady Tremaine sending her flying backwards into the wall.

A smile appears on Ashlynn's face as she just saw what happened. "We did it."

"And that's a wrap." Blondie stops the recording. "Ashlynn that was amazing."

"That's my girlfriend." Hunter smiles.

"Aw you guys." She blushes in embarrassment when she hears the wedding march song causing her to gasp. "The Wedding!"


At the wedding Namine and the others had put on many distractions as their gift to the couple right now Sparrow and Melody were in the middle a rock and roll solo, unfortunately Rock and Roll had not been introduced in this world yet.

"Enough!" The King yells stopping the music. "You have been providing numerous amount of entertainment for over an hour and while most of them were very impressive like the boy's magic show." He said looking at Alistair, Bunny and Kitty who high five. "We need to start the wedding." He said causing Melody and Sparrow to walk off the stage.

"Namine any other ideas?" Dexter asks in fear.

"Just one hope the others make it back soon." Namine said as Ashlynn and her group arrived.

"What happened?" Daring asks.

"We stalled for as long as we could how's the evil stepmother?" Cupid asks.

"Ashlynn gave her a beating." Hunter smiles.

As what looked like Cinderella walked down the aisle to the Prince everyone was not happy.

"Please tell me that's the real one, please." Bunny said as Cedar put on her revealer rays only to see it was really Anastasia.

"Oh, I really wish I could lie right now." Cedar said.

"Come on Roxas hurry." Ashlynn prayed.


Outside the castle the carriage carrying everyone pulls up and Roxas and his team jump out with Cinderella ahead of them.

She reaches the front door when two guards block her. "No entry."

"What? But she's the bride." Darling said.

"Nice try that's the bride." One points inside.

Briar walks up. "Well the rest of us happen to have our invitations sir." She said going through her purse.

"Let me see." He looks in only to have Briar punch him in the face when the other tries to attack Briar pulls out Pepper Spray blasting him in the eyes and causing him to scream in pain. "Come on!"

"Ok that was awesome back there." Cerise said as they ran in.

"A girl has to have a few tricks up her sleeve." Briar smiles.

Back inside Lady Tremaine was limping towards the wedding with Drizella nearby. "Those little brats won't get in my way." She growled as they arrive.

"Your Majesty do you take this woman to be you wife?" The Priest asks.

"I do." The Prince said.

"And do you take this man as your husband?"

"I-I-I" Anastasisa stutters.

"Just say it." Lady Tremaine growls.

"Don't say it." All the Ever After High students whisper.

"I don't." Anastasia said shocking everyone as the real Cinderella runs in.

"Anastasia?" She said surprised.

"Cinderella." Anastasia nods. The site in front of him causes the Priest to faint.

"Spoiled little ingrate! I've given you everything Anastasia!" Lady Tremaine yelled marching in revealing herself to everyone.

"But I want someone to love me for me." Anastasia said.

"Guards! Seize her!" The King yells as they ran towards her.

"Bippity Boppity Boo!" Lady Tremaine blasts the sky and a green vortex appears blasting the guards turning them to chickens, pigs, and rabbits. "And now for you." She said
looking towards Anastasia.

"Turn her into a toad mother!" Drizella said.

"Stop this ends now!" Cinderella yells as she and the Students of Ever After get in front of Anastasia.

"Even better. Bippity Boppity boo!" Lady Tremaine fires a blast towards them, but Roxas calls out Oathkeeper and fires a blast of light colliding with it.

The two beams struggle to push each other back. Until with one large burst of energy Roxas's beam blasts through and hits Lady Tremaine and Drizella with her own blast
leaving nothing there, but the Fairy Godmother's wand.

Everyone could only stare in awe at what just happened until Anastasia snapped out of it and brings Cinderella over to the Prince. "This is the real Cinderella, your True Love." Anastasia said before walking towards the wand.

She looks around to see everyone looking at her in fear. "Bippity Boppity Boo." She said pointing the wand at herself turning her back to normal.

Cinderella seeing this walks over to her stepsister. "Anastasia, thank you." She said hugging her. Anastasia hands her the wand. "Bippity Boppity."

"Boo." Anastasia finishes the spell and from the magic the Fairy Godmother appears free from her stone prison.

"Oh my goodness, I feel so stiff." Fairy Godmother said.

Anastasia walks over to the King and takes out the shell he gave her. "Your Majesty, I don't deserve this."

She holds out the shell to give it back to him, but the King smiles and gives it back to her. "Everyone deserves True Love."

"Bippity Boppity Boo." The Fairy Godmother said turning Cinderella's dress back to normal.

"Thank you all of you." Cinderella said.

"Would you like me to return you to your former lives?" Fairy Godmother asks.

"Former lives?" They both ask.

"Yes you two were well…oh never mind." Fairy Godmother said seeing that loved each other just the same before walks over to the Ever After High Students. "Want me to send you all back?" She asks.

"Uhm can it wait until after?" Ashlynn asks.

"Of course my dear." Fairy Godmother said.

"Is anyone going to marry my son?" The King asks annoyed by all this.

"I do." Cinderella said.

"I now pronounce you husband and wife." The Priest said recovering.

Cinderella and the Prince lean in and kiss resulting in cheers throughout the halls.

After the wedding Cinderella, the Prince, Anastasia, Jaque, the King and Fairy Godmother were standing in front of everyone.

"Well I guess this is goodbye." Apple said.

"I can't thank you all enough for what you've done." The Prince said.

"Think nothing of it we were happy to do it." Lizzie said.

"All of you are more than welcome to return here at any time." The King said.

"Thank you, your majesty." Roxas said.

Ashlynn looks over to Anastasia. "I hope you can find your Happily Ever After."

"Thank you." Anastasia smiles.

"Ashlynn thank you for everything." Cinderella said reaching for her hand.

"You're welcome Cinderella." Ashlynn smiles.

"If I ever have a daughter I hope she's as amazing you are." Cinderella said as a big smile appears on Ashlynn's face before she reaches forward and hugs Cinderella who gladly returns it.

Jaque walks over to Roxas. "Hey Jaque, what's up?"

"Roxas thank you for helping Cinderelly." Jaque said.

"It was pleasure." Roxas smiles.

"If you ever run into Ven Ven say hi for me." Jaque said holding up his little hand for a high five.

"Deal. Watch over Cinderella for us little guy." Roxas holds up his finger and Jaque high fives it.

"Bye bye everybody." Jaque said jumping off Roxas and walking back to Cinderella.

"Is everyone ready?" Fairy Godmother asks and everyone nods. "Bippity Boppity Boo." She waves her wand and a bright light surrounds them.


When they wake up they found themselves back on the outskirts of the kingdom.

"Are we back?" Roxas asks when Namine's speaker goes off.

"Namine is everything okay?" Ginger said.

"Uh yes um Ginger this might sound weird, but how long were we gone for?" Namine asks.

"What do you mean you guys have been gone for 15 minutes." Ginger said startling everyone.

"Only 15 minutes? Do you guys think it was all dream?" Kitty asks.

Roxas takes out the device to see the status of this world. He brings it up and looks very carefully.

"Well Roxas is everything alright?" Hunter asks as he turns around with a smile.

"Better, it wasn't a dream. We really saved this world!" Roxas said and everyone erupts into cheers.


Deciding to celebrate Ginger walks into town to find some ingredients for the party.

"Let's see just one more thing and I'm done." Ginger said as she walked into a bakery to find a man with blonde hair pulling bread out of the oven.

"Hi there, can I help you with something?" He asks.

"Yes I need a pound of flour and can I get a few of those baguettes?" Ginger asks pointing at them.

"Of course, honey one bag of flour." He calls out to the back as he puts the bread in a basket for Ginger.

"Coming right up sweetie." From the back room Anastasia walks out with a bag of flour. "Here you go." She said handing it to Ginger and then kissing the man on the cheek.

"Thank you, I have to say you two have quite a bakery." Ginger said looking around.

"Best in the Kingdom my husband is amazing." Anastasia said.

"Oh you." He blushes looks to the clock. "Oh, we have to hurry we don't want to be late for the ball." He said as he and Anastasia went to the door.

"The ball?" Ginger asks.

"Yes, his Majesty is throwing a big party to celebrate his wedding, in fact it was on this very day we met." Anastasia said.

"How could I forget? After the wedding I had brought out a large platter of my treats and we reached for one at the exact same time and when we touched." He smiles.

"It was magic." Anastasia smiles as Ginger gets her supplies and heads for the door.

"Wow that's beautiful." Ginger smiles

"Thank you. Have a wonderful day." Anastasia said as they closed the bakery.

"Looks like a Happily Ever After can happen in any world if people look for it." Ginger smiles as she turns around and walks to the Tempest.

For those who are wondering what the next world is here's a hint: Oo de Lally
