At Ever After High in the hallways Roxas was worn out as he placed three large textbooks in his locker,
Since he agreed to train to become the Headmaster Roxas had to sign up for Kingdom Management, International Affairs and Business, which was difficult since he still had Magicology, Hero Training and all his other classes.
"Man, they weren't kidding when they said this wasn't going to be easy." Roxas said letting out a yawn.
In Magicology class Amora was going over her lecture, but for Roxas it was a struggle to keep his eyes open.
"Now when using the Magnet spells you have to keep in mind what your targets are or else you could pull in someone or something else by mistake." Amora said when she noticed Roxas drifting off. "Roxas." She said waking him up. "What would be the best time to use a Magnet spell?"
"Uh…when enemies are far away?" Roxas said.
"Yes, but it also works on enemies surrounding you." Amora said when the bell rang. "Alright class be sure to study today's lecture. Roxas can I have a word with you?"
Roxas reaches for his textbook and drops it. Bending down he and Amora reach for it and their hands touch causing the two of them to look up and blush.
"Roxas you're distracted. You fell asleep during the first half of class and your attention wandered for the last half." Amora said concerned.
"I'm sorry Amora this new schedule is proving difficult for me to handle." Roxas frowns.
"You know you have us to help you Roxas." Amora leans in close. "I could give you some private lessons if you'd like?" She whispers causing him to blush.
"Uh I think I'm good." Roxas said shaking it off causing Amora to giggle.
"But seriously I'm here for you Roxas and so is the rest of your team. I know you can get through this. I believe in you." Amora smiles.
"Thanks, Amora." Roxas turns to walk away bit not before Amora leans in and pecks him on the cheek.
"Good luck." She said as Roxas walks out the door.
As the sun was setting Roxas finally made it back to his room and crashed onto his bed exhausted.
"Who knew classes were so tiring." Roxas groans when he heard a knock at his door. "Come in, door's open."
"Yoohoo. Is everyone okay in here?" Roxas looks to see Maddie pop her head in.
"Oh hey Maddie." Roxas said sitting up. "What are you doing here?"
"Thought you could use some company." Maddie said sitting next to him. "Heard you had a long day."
Roxas sighs and lays down. "Ever since I agreed to have my schedule changed it's been one long day after another."
Maddie looks at Roxas and gets an idea.
When Roxas looked up he saw Maddie wearing his Organization XIII coat and a mop on her head to resemble Xemnas.
"Foolish Roxas if you cannot win against a few simple classes I will defeat you easily." Maddie said in a deep voice mimicking Xemnas.
Roxas looks at her and bursts into laughter holding his sides.
"There's that smile." Maddie grins taking off the mop and coat.
"Thanks Maddie, I needed that." Roxas smiles.
"A little laughter can do wonders." Maddie said when Roxas's Mary Poppins book started to glow. "Ooh Mary Poppins wants to see you." Maddie claps.
Roxas reaches over to grab the book. "Want to come along Maddie?" He asks.
"You bet." Maddie smiles and nods.
Roxas opens the book and the two of them are sucked inside.
When they appeared in the book Maddie and Roxas saw their outfits had changed Maddie was wearing a blue and teal dress and Roxas was wearing a blue and white striped jacket and shirt combo with a hat.
"What in the?" Roxas said looking at his outfit.
"Wow. You didn't tell me the book did this." Maddie said looking at her outfit.
"I didn't before." Roxas looks around to see that instead of Cherry Tree Lane he saw they were in a forest like area. "These must be from parts of the pages we found."
"Quite right." Roxas and Maddie look to see four penguins in bow ties sliding up to them. "A pleasure to meet you both." A Penguin bows causing Maddie to giggle and clap. "Mary Poppins and Bert would like you two to join them for tea and sweets."
"Uh really well I—"
"We'd love to." Maddie interrupts grabbing Roxas's hand and following the Penguins.
"But Maddie I—"
"Come on Roxas you love tea time." Maddie smiles.
Sighing in defeat Roxas knew he wasn't gonna win. "Alright."
"Yaaay!" Maddie cheers as they were led to a small grove where a merry go round was placed near a nice-looking tea table. There Roxas and Maddie saw Bert wearing an orange and red striped outfit and Mary Poppins wearing a white dress and a hat.
"Roxas, so glad you could join us." Mary said noticing them.
"And who's this young lady?" Bert smiles.
"Bert, Mary Poppins this is Maddie." Roxas introduced.
"Hello." Maddie waves as they sat down next to them.
As they sat down and had tea and sweets served to them by the penguins Roxas looks around.
"Beautiful isn't it? It's all thanks to you and your friends for finding them pages." Bert said.
"Wow with just two pages we got all this?" Roxas said.
"Just wait until you see the book when it's finished." Mary said sipping her tea while Maddie took a bite of her scone.
"Hmm delicious." Maddie said tipping her hat to the penguins who brush it off.
"Anything for a friend of Mary Poppins." They said.
"So, Roxas what's on your mind? You don't seem as happy as you should be?" Bert said.
"Well a few days ago I got a chance to have a future, but to get this future it's pretty hard and exhausting." Roxas sighs.
"Roxas, in every job that must be done there is an element of fun. You find the fun and snap. The job's a game." Mary said snapping her fingers.
"Yeah Roxas, think about it why did you want this in the first place?" Maddie asks.
"That's easy…because I wanted to stay at the place I met all of you." Roxas smiles causing Maddie to blush a little.
"Exactly. You're finding the fun." Mary smiles.
"Speaking of fun." Bert stands up and points to the Merry Go Round. "Shall we?"
"Sure." Maddie said as they all got on one of the horses.
As the ride started Maddie cheered and was having the time of her life.
"This is fun!" Maddie cheers.
"Sure, if you don't mind going anywhere." Bert said laying back in his horse.
"Hmm you're right. Oh guard." Mary said as a small window opens to reveal a man.
"Right away Mary Poppins." He pulls a switch and like that their Merry Go Round horses hopped off the Merry Go Round and started moving on their own.
"Whoa." Roxas and Maddie said as they ended up going onto a horse race track.
"And what's this we seem to have some late entries into the race." The announcer said.
"Hey Roxas, race you?" Maddie smirks causing Roxas to grin.
"You're on!" Both race ahead catching up to the other horses.
"Oh those two." Mary shakes her head before following them with Bert right behind her.
Roxas and Maddie were neck and neck as they raced past the other horses.
"Eat my dust Roxas!"
"Not a chance Maddie!"
As they were in the final stretch the two of them were determined when out of nowhere Mary Poppins moves past them and crosses the finish line first.
"Sorry kids, better luck next time." Bert said as Mary was handed a bouquet of flowers.
Roxas and Maddie look at each other and smile as they shrug their shoulders and laugh at the good time they were having.
In the winner's circle Mary was being asked many questions by reporters.
"Mary Poppins you must be so happy."
"I bet there are no words to describe your emotions."
"Well actually there is a very good word. Isn't there Bert?" Mary asks looking towards him.
"Right. Tell them what it is." Bert grins.
(Play Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious)
It's Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Even though the sound of it
Is something quite atrocious
If you say it loud enough
You'll always sound precocious
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Um-dittle-ittl-um-dittle-I
Um-dittle-ittl-um-dittle-I
Um-dittle-ittl-um-dittle-I
Um-dittle-ittl-um-dittle-I
Because I was afraid to speak
When I was just a lad
Me father gave me nose a tweak
And told me I was bad
But then one day I learned a word
That saved me aching nose
The biggest word you ever heard
And this is how it goes
Oh, supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Even though the sound of it
Is something quite atrocious
If you say it loud enough
You'll always sound precocious
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Um-dittle-ittl-um-dittle-I
Um-dittle-ittl-um-dittle-I
Um-dittle-ittl-um-dittle-I
Um-dittle-ittl-um-dittle-I
He traveled all around the world and everywhere he went
He'd use his word and all would say there goes a clever gent
When dukes and Maharajahs pass the time of day with me
I say my special word and then they ask me out to tea
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Even though the sound of it
Is something quite atrocious
If you say it loud enough
You'll always sound precocious
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Um-dittle-ittl-um-dittle-I
Um-dittle-ittl-um-dittle-I
"Now, you can say it backwards, which is docious-ali-expi-listic-fragi-cali-rupus
But that's going a bit too far, don't you think?" Mary asks.
"Indubitably." Bert agrees.
So when the cat has got your tongue
There's no need for dismay
Just summon up this word
And then you've got a lot to say
But better use it carefully
Or it can change your life
For example
Yes?
One night I said it to me girl and now me girls my wife
Oh! And a lovely thing she is too. he he he
She's Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
As the song ended Roxas and Maddie stood up and cheered for them.
Saying goodbye to Mary and Bert the two of them leave the book and appear back in Roxas's room.
"Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious." Maddie sang causing Roxas to chuckle.
"Easy Maddie better use that word carefully." Roxas smiles.
"I can't help it, it's such a fun word." Maddie giggles.
Roxas chuckles as he walks up to her. "Maddie, thanks."
"Huh?"
"Whenever I feel down or unsure about something you always know how to make me smile. Thanks a lot. You're super Maddie." Roxas smiles.
"Am I Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious?" Maddie blushes.
"Maybe." He said blushing as well.
The two of them look each other in the eyes before getting lost in them as they kiss each other on the lips.
"See you tomorrow Roxas." Maddie said walking out of his room.
Roxas looks to his desk where his homework and takes a deep breath. "Remember. Find the fun." Roxas said to himself as he sat down and got to work.
For the next chapter the team will be heading to Twilight Town where they meet two kids who do everything from finding Dodo birds, painting continents or driving their sister insane.
