Chapter 72: Headmaster or Not
Hey everyone I'm back. Lots of you were surprised by what I set up in Epic Winter and I'm happy to hear so many of you liked it. Now since that was the last EAH event if there's any event you'd like to see happen feel free to tell me. Please Review and Enjoy.
It had been a week since the Winter storm and things were finally getting back to normal…well normal as things get at Ever After High. Crystal had moved into the dorms at Ever After High in order to learn more about the team and she ended up becoming Courtly's roommate.
While the two of them had their differences, mainly about what setting the AC should be set to they eventually warmed up to each other and became friends.
At the Tempest Roxas, Daring, Crystal and Rosabella were talking with the Snow King.
"Hey there Snowflake." He smiles.
"Hi dad, sorry to bother you on your vacation." Crystal waves.
"It's no trouble at all if it means I get to talk to you." Snow King said.
"Wow compared to what we had to deal with this is quite a surprise." Daring whispers causing Roxas and Rosabella to nod.
"Anyway your majesty we wanted to ask a favor. You see you turned my friend Daring into a beast during that whole fiasco and we were wondering what spell it was?" Roxas asks.
"Oh that's an easy one, you just need to combine the ice magic with a little rage and cast it on the user." The Snow King said.
"I see… Crystal, you ready?" Roxas said as his Moogle floated next to her.
"I'm ready kupo." It said.
"Me too." Crystal nods readying her wand.
The three of them stepped back as Crystal and the Moogle got to work.
"Are you sure you want this Daring?" Rosabella asks.
"Yeah, I thought a lot about this and like Roxas said this will be a great way to help on missions." Daring said as bright flashes of light came from Crystal and the Moogle.
Meanwhile next to them Roxas was lost in thought as he thought about what Headmaster Grimm had said to him.
'Me? The Headmaster of Ever After High? I can't believe they actually offered it to me." Roxas thought.
"Alright, we're done." Crystal said as she and the Moogle moved out of the way to reveal a blue orb.
"We call it the Beaststone." Crystal said.
"Appropriate name." Rosabella giggles.
"Alright Daring, lets see if it works." Roxas said as Daring walked up and grabbed it.
"Alright Daring, concentrate on the stone and it should work." Crystal said.
Daring closes his eyes and concentrates resulting him turning back into his beast form.
"You know I kinda missed this." Rosabella said causing Daring to laugh.
"What do you think Roxas? We now have a beast on our team." Daring said.
"And if you want to change back all you have to do is concentrate on turning back." Crystal said as Daring changed back to normal.
"What do you think Roxas?" Daring asks but Roxas was still lost in his thoughts. "Roxas?"
"Huh? Oh uh yeah looks great." Roxas said.
"Are you alright Roxas?" Rosabella asks concerned.
"Yeah I'm fine, just got a lot on my mind. I'll see you guys later." Roxas said walking out of the Tempest while they looked at him concerned.
At the outdoor deck Roxas was sitting down eating an ice cream and watching the sunset.
"I didn't think deciding something like this would be so hard." Roxas sighs.
"There you are." Roxas turns to see Amora, Raven, Namine, Apple, Dexter, Daring and Cerise walking over.
"We've been looking all over for you." Raven said.
"Oh, why?" Roxas asks.
"Roxas, we know something's going on." Dexter said.
"You want to talk about it?" Apple asks.
Roxas looks at them and saw how concerned they were. Letting out a sigh Roxas nods as they sit around him.
"So what's going on? What's happening?" Amora asks.
"I'm avoiding the headmasters." Roxas said.
"Oh no. What happened this time?" Cerise asks not liking where this was going.
"Well he offered to change my schedule." Roxas said uncomfortably.
"Why?" Daring asks.
"They uhm want to train me to be the next Headmaster." Roxas said causing them to gasp.
"By Odin's beard." Amora gasps.
"Roxas that's amazing!" Namine said as they all cheered.
"Look it's not that big of a deal." Roxas said trying to calm them down.
"Not a big deal? Roxas, becoming Headmaster is like the most hexclusive destiny there is." Apple said.
"This is so awesome." Raven smiles punching Roxas's shoulder.
"We gotta tell the others." Dexter said excited.
"What did you say?" Namine asks.
"Don't go off celebrating just yet guys. I don't know if I'm even gonna say yes." Roxas said surprising them.
"What do you mean you don't want to say yes? Roxas this is a once in a lifetime chance. I thought you wanted a destiny." Raven said.
"I do, but…this is a big one and I don't know anything about running a school. What if I'm not good at it?" Roxas said worried.
All of them look at Roxas and see how overwhelming this new opportunity was for him.
"Roxas, do you know what we think of when we think of the headmaster here?" Apple asks.
"A royal pain in the neck who constantly gives us trouble?" Roxas said causing all of them to chuckle.
"Now that's just Headmaster Grimm." Raven smirks.
"Roxas, a Headmaster is someone who puts the needs of this school and the students above anything and you have all that." Namine said.
"You've done so much for this school, even when they were gonna lock you away you came back to save it." Cerise said.
"You brought me from Asgard and helped me realize I had a talent for teaching magic." Amora smiles.
"You helped us realize parts of our stories we didn't even know existed." Apple said.
"You helped us become better versions of ourselves that we didn't even think we could become." Dexter said.
"You helped us realize the paths we could take to find the destines we wanted." Cerise said.
"But more than that, you were always there for us when we needed it. Now it's our turn to be there for you." Apple said.
Roxas looks at all his friends surprised by all this.
"Roxas, for as long as we've known you you've never backed away from a challenge." Daring said.
"We'll help you ever step of the way just like the way you've done for us." Namine smiles.
A smile slowly forms on Roxas's face. "Thanks guys."
The next morning in Headmaster Grimm's office Milton, Giles and Baba Yaga were going over papers when they heard a knock at the door.
"Come in." Milton said as the door opens to reveal Roxas.
"Uh hey." Roxas said walking.
"Roxas, have you decided?" Roxas asks.
"I have, but before I give you my answer there's something I want to say." Roxas said as they stopped working and looked to him.
"When I first came to this school, I had nothing but my name and my keyblades, but the longer I was here the more I came to love this place. This school is the first place I've ever called home and the people in this school have become very close to my heart, heck if it wasn't for this place, I probably never would've gotten my heart. I love Ever After High and I would love nothing more than to be here in the future." Roxas said as smiles form on everyone's face. "I want to become the Headmaster." Roxas smiles.
Milton gets up from his desk and walks up to him with a smile. "I think is school is going to be in good hands." Milton said as he led Roxas to his desk. "Let's make some adjustments to your schedule."
An hour later Roxas walked out of the office with his new schedule.
"Headmaster Roxas, you know it has a nice ring to it." Giles smiles.
"You know Milton I was surprised at first that you offered this opportunity to him. What made you want to?" Baba Yaga asks.
"It started when Roxas stood up to Snow White and told her what this school meant to him, he's done so much for our students and honestly…the boy is starting to grow on me. I used to think everything revolved around signing the Storybook of Legends, but thanks to him I learned we don't have to rely on that book anymore." Milton said.
"So I guess it wasn't just the students he helped after all." Baba Yaga smirks.
"That boy is gonna be a great headmaster someday." Giles said.
