Chapter 65: Celebration

Hey everyone I'm back. I'm so glad you all enjoyed Dragon Games so much. It was a challenge but I see it turned out great in the end. I'm gonna do a little before Epic Winter including a few worlds. Hope you like it. Please Review and Enjoy.

As the sun was setting on Ever After High loud cheering and celebrating was going down in Book End.

To celebrate their victory over stopping Xehanort and the Evil Queen everyone had put on a festival throughout the whole town.

Booths of food, games and rides were lined up through the streets of Book End.

Donald and Goofy were at the ring toss booth trying to win a prize.

"Steady Donald. Steady." Goofy said.

"I know what I'm doing." Donald said.

He tosses the ring and at first it lands on the bottle making both of them smile, but then it bounces off causing Donald to release his trademark temper tantrum.

Suddenly a ring lands on the bottle meaning someone had won. Looking over Donald saw Mickey being handed a stuffed animal which was basically bigger than him.

"Ha ha come on guys let's go try another booth." Mickey smiles.

"Next time I'm gonna win." Donald said as he and Goofy followed their king.


In the main square multiple tables were set up as everyone enjoying food, drinks and music.

"I'm sorry Thor, but I seriously doubt that only you're allowed to lift that hammer." Darling said.

"It's not just me it can anyone as long the hammer sees them as worthy." Thor said.

"They say the same thing about the keyblade yet I can lift that." Sora said.

"Oh really?" Thor places Mjolnir on the table. "By all means try."

Darling stands up and walks to it. "Darling these past few days have been hard on all of us so none of us will blame you if you can't lift the hammer." Amora giggles.

"Whatever Amora." Darling grabs the handle and pulls with all her might, but the hammer refuses to even move an inch. "This thing's a lot heavier than it looks."

"It's a good thing your friend Blondie isn't recording this." Sora said.

"You think you can do better?" Darling gestures.

"I'm not one to say no to a challenge." Sora walks up. "Wielder of two weapons of great power. Oh man wait til Riku gets a load of this." Sora bends down and pulls, but like Darling the hammer refuses to move.

"Wow Sora that's impressive." Amora smirks.

Nearby Riku was sitting on a staircase chuckling at Sora's failure.

"That's just sad." Riku chuckles as he drank a can of soda when Cupid walks over.

"Hey Riku mind if I join you?" She asks.

"Sure." Riku said as she sat down next to him.

"I don't get it, it's a huge party and yet you're choosing to sit on the sidelines away from everyone." Cupid said.

"Well Sora and Kairi were always the two who always had to have fun, even back home they would goof off while I did all the work. I guess I ended up being the responsible one." Riku said.

"Still there's nothing wrong with having fun sometimes." Cupid said.

For a few minutes there was an uncomfortable silence between them.

"Uh hey Riku there's something I wanted to tell you." Cupid said getting his attention. "Roxas told me the story about you, how Maleficent used the darkness to bring you over to the other side."

Riku frowns at that. "My greatest mistake."

"But still I think that's amazing." Cupid said surprising him. "I mean you were able to find the light and fight the darkness to help everyone. Not many people would have the courage to try to make things right." She smiles.

Riku touched by her words couldn't help but smile. "Wow…thanks Cupid you really think so?"

"Cross my heart." Cupid said.

Riku was touched by this. Looking over he saw Sora, Donald and Goofy pulling Mjolnir but fell to the ground as they failed to move it even an inch. "You know I guess a little fun wouldn't hurt."

Riku gets up and walks over to them. "Alright Sora watch a Keyblade Master have a go." Riku walks up to the handle and pulls but it didn't move causing everyone to laugh even Riku chuckled a little.

"Guess you still have ways to go Master." Sora laughs.

"Still not as sad as your tries." Riku said.

"Alright boys step aside." Raven said walking over. "Let a girl show you how it's done." Raven surrounds her hands with dark magic and yanks on the handle but not even the powers of the Evil Queen could move it.

"Wow Raven that's really impressive." Darling said sarcastically.

"This thing is clearly a prank." Raven said.

"Pranks are Loki's thing, but that's not a bad theory Raven. I have a better one." Thor picks up the hammer with ease. "You're all not worthy." He smirks.

"Show off." Donald growls.

"I can't tell a lie, this is kinda embarrassing." Cedar said.


Meanwhile at the booths Roxas was eating some cotton candy when he saw Apple nearby talking to Ashlynn and Hunter when he walked over.

"Hey guys." Roxas smiles.

"Hey Roxas, talk about a party right?" Ashlynn asks.

"The whole-time people have come up to us and are treating us like heroes." Hunter said.

"We kinda are." Apple chuckles.

"Hey Ashlynn, want to go check out the rides?" Hunter asks.

"Lead the way." Ashlynn said leaving Roxas and Apple alone.

The two of them look away blushing nervously. This had been the first time they had talked since everyone discovered that Roxas was Apple's Prince Charming.

"Uh hey Apple." Roxas said nervously.

"Hey Roxas." Apple said just as nervous.

"So uh pretty fun party." Roxas said.

"Yeah it's really fun." Apple said.

"Uh Cotton Candy?" Roxas asks holding it out.

Apple smiles as she takes a bite.

"Roxas, I really want to thank you for everything." Apple said.

"Well Apple I should be thanking you for knocking some sense into me." Roxas said.

"Happy to do that again you feel like doubting yourself and running off." Apple said as the two of them chuckle. "Hey Roxas, there's something I was wondering. How were you able to get your heart?"

"Uh well." Roxas blushes as his heart started racing at the memory of him with Apple, Briar, Poppy, Melody, Cerise, Maddie, Amora and Namine. "It's…complicated, but I'm really happy to finally have it."

"Me too Roxas." Apple smiles.

Making their way to the main plaza they saw a music stage set up with Melody up above at the DJ station.

As everyone cheered Melody looks down to see Roxas in the audience and smiles.

"Alright party people we're in luck. We have a one of our favorite singers ever after. What do you say Roxas? Care to sing us a song?" Melody asks as everyone cheered.

"Roxas knows how to sing?" Sora said surprised

"Okay he can't have been your Nobody because your singing stinks." Riku smirks.

"Hey I'm not that bad." Sora said.

"Yes you are." Kairi smirks as Roxas walks up on stage and grabs a mic.

"Hey everyone, this is a song for all my friends who go with me on our adventures." Roxas said as the music started to play.

(Play Off To See The World by Lukas Graham)

So, we wanna stay
But can't find peace while sitting still
I guess we never will
We're on the way
We won't hurry back again
The journey in the end

I love this very moment
We're speeding up not slowing
We might know we can't win
But we're dumb enough to try
We're going, there's no maybe
That's why they call us crazy
And we'll say if anybody asks us

Hey, where you gonna go
We're off to see the world
We don't need to know, oh
Hey, where you gonna go
We're off to see the world
We don't need to know

We never need to know
Seeking boundaries to break
Let's forget the ones we've made
So we carry on
Don't let good things pass us by
The time we're gone will be the
Best time of our life

I love this very moment
We're speeding up not slowing
We might know we can't win
But we're dumb enough to try
We're going, there's no maybe
That's why they call us crazy
And we'll say if anybody asks us

Hey, where you gonna go
We're off to see the world
We don't need to know, oh
Hey, where you gonna go
We're off to see the world
We don't need to know

So go tell 'em we won't stop
We know they can't change us
We're gonna go way off the map
To get ourselves back on the track
Go tell 'em we won't stop
We know they can't change us
No need to worry so much
We do whatever we want, oh

Hey, where you gonna go
We're off to see the world
We don't need to know, oh
Hey, where you gonna go
We're off to see the world
We don't need to know

Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

When the song ended everyone burst into cheers.

"Whoo go Roxas!" Lea cheers along with everyone else.


As the night came to an end Roxas on the outskirts of Book End with Thor, Sora, Riku, Kairi, Mickey, Lea, Donald and Goofy.

"Do you guys really have to go? It was really fun." Roxas asks.

"Have no worries friend, I'm always available to help." Thor said as he and Roxas fist bumped.

Thor walks a few steps away before looking to the sky. "Take me back!" Thor yells as the Bifrost engulfs him transporting him home.

Roxas looks to Lea next. "Thanks for everything."

"That's what friends are for. Take good care of your new princess lover boy." Lea smirks causing Roxas to blush making him chuckle.

"We'll see you again soon Roxas. I got a feeling we have quite a few battles ahead of us." Mickey said.

"Agreed." Roxas nods as they made their way to the Gummi Ship.

Before Sora climbed in he turned towards Roxas. "Try not to cause too much trouble." He smiles.

Roxas chuckles. "I could say the same for you."

As they took off into the air Roxas walks back into Book End to see Daring sitting on a bench with a frown on his face.

"Daring? What are you doing here? Why aren't you partying like everyone else over our victory?" Roxas asks walking over.

"Oh hey Roxas. I'm just not in the mood. Don't get me wrong I'm happy we saved the day and you got your heart but…I'm not happy about what happened before that." Daring said thinking about the kiss. "I thought for so long that I was Apple's Prince Charming, it was a destiny I was happy to have. But I'm not her Prince of Destiny you are. Roxas, you stole my destiny." Daring said looking at him.

"Daring I-I'm sorry I didn't mean to I swear." Roxas said.

"Roxas…I'm taking a break from the team and missions, I-I don't think I can be around you for a while." Daring said standing up and walking away.

"Daring wait."Roxas calls out but Daring ignores him.

As Roxas watches his friend walk away and he felt horrible inside knowing he was the reason behind it.

Here's a hint for the next chapter: An old face returns to Ever After High and she's a bit of a wild card.
