Chapter 85: True Hearts Nightmare
Hey everyone I'm back with a new chapter. This one was a fun one to write. I'd like to thank my buddy SuperHeroTimeFan for giving me the ideas for the first part of the chapter. I hope you like it. Please Review and Enjoy.
It was the day before True Heart's Day and all over the school students were talking about how excited they were for Cupid's party.
In the Castleteria, Roxas was talking with Sora, Riku and Kairi.
"So what is this True Heart's Day?" Sora asks.
"It's a holiday they celebrate where the people here follow their hearts and give these amazing Heart Blossoms to the people they truly care about." Roxas explains.
"Aw." Kairi said holding her chest.
"You better be sure to get your hands on one of these Heart Blossoms Sora." Riku chuckles.
Sora looks to Kairi and a blush forms on his face as he looks away causing everyone to giggle.
Walking nearby Lizzie was watching Roxas with a smile on her face before shaking it off.
"Hey Lizzie!" Lizzie looks to see Briar, Apple, Maddie, Bunny and Courtly waving at her to come sit with them.
Walking over Lizzie almost trips on the ground but catches herself at the last minute.
"Whoa that was close." Apple said.
"You okay Lizzie?" Briar asks.
"Yes, I'm fine, why do you ask?" Lizzie asks.
"Well lately you've been a little out of it." Bunny said.
"Well if you all promise not to laugh, I do have something on my mind. You see…there's this boy." Lizzie said getting their interest.
"Oh my fairy godmother, Lizzie Hearts has a crush on a boy." Briar said excited.
"Who's the lucky guy? Tell us, tell us." Maddie said eager.
"Well he's kind, brave, caring, selfless, not to mention he helped Wonderland." Lizzie said as Bunny to glare.
"Lizzie, you can't date Alistair." Bunny snaps quickly causing everyone to look at her.
"Wow Bunny I didn't think you were so possessive." Courtly teases.
"Uh well I uh." Bunny said causing Lizzie to giggle.
"It's not Alistair…I'm in love with Roxas." Lizzie said causing Apple, Briar and Maddie's eyes to widen in shock.
'Wait a minute, the other 5 pieces of his heart…Lizzie's one of them.' They thought.
"So Roxas…what brought about this crush?" Briar asks trying to hold back her feelings.
"I can't help it, when we were forced into that game Jumanji he said he'd choose saving me over that ending that nightmare. He doesn't fear me when I shout instead, he finds that mad side of me enjoyable. He's so perfect I can see it now. Roxas, King of Wonderland." Lizzie said causing Maddie to do a spit take.
"Uh Lizzie, what does your mom think about this?" Briar asks nervously.
"That's the best part, she approves." Lizzie sighs.
Immediately Maddie snaps and leaps at her.
"You think you can just start planning your wedding when you haven't even asked him out." Maddie said grabbing her shoulders.
"Off with your head!" Lizzie snaps as the two girls wrestled.
"Maddie, stop." Apple said as she and Briar pulled them apart.
Oblivious to the fight Roxas gets up and walks away. Quickly the girls wave to him who waves back, but the second he walked away the girls looked at Lizzie and Maddie. Anger seeping inside Apple and Briar let go and let Maddie and Lizzie continue their cat fight leading the others to slowly walk away leaving them to it.
Outside on the Bookball field, Namine summoned her keyblade while Darling drew her sword. Clashing weapons, the two girls locked blades when Namine noticed a smile on Darling's face.
"You seem happy." Namine said.
"Is it that obvious?" Darling said as Namine pushed her back and charged forcing Darling to go on the defense.
"What is it?" Namine asks as Darling side steps and swings her sword.
"Well…I was thinking about when Roxas and I danced together at Thronecoming." Darling said.
"You were pretty lucky." Namine said.
"It's more than that, Roxas understands me and doesn't see me as a damsel in distress, but as a fighter to fight alongside him. I think…I think I have a crush on him." Darling admits causing Namine to trip and fall to the ground.
'Darling? Wait does this mean she's one of the 5 pieces?' Namine thought as she picked herself up. "Wow Darling, that's…something."
"I know right, maybe he'll even give me his Heart blossom." Darling sighs.
"What's that?" Namine asks.
"Oh right, you weren't here last time. You see when someone gives someone their Heart Blossom it shows that they love someone with all their hearts." Darling said causing Namine to grit her teeth.
"Is that right? Well I have a feeling you're out of luck because Roxas is going to give that to me." Namine said as Darling looks over.
"Is that a challenge?" Darling grits her teeth.
Namine lets out a scream as they two of them clashed again only this one was much more ferocious.
Walking down the hall Roxas looks out the window to see the two of them going all out and whistles impressed before walking off.
In another room, Farrah was helping Holly and Poppy get their outfits ready for Cupid's True Heart's Dance tomorrow.
"So are you girls excited for the dance tomorrow?" Holly asks.
"I am, I can't wait to get my Heart Blossom." Poppy sighs.
"Who are you going to give yours to Farrah?" Holly asks.
"Well there is one boy I was thinking about." Farrah blushes.
"Wow Farrah did you finally find yourself a prince?" Poppy asks.
"He's not exactly a prince, but he's kind enough to be one." Farrah said.
"Tell me all about him." Poppy said putting on her lipstick.
"Do we know him?" Holly asks.
"Yes, you know him. You see before Thronecoming I was feeling down on how I would never get my chance to go to the ball or dance with a prince, but he was kind enough to dance with me and when Roxas held me in his arms I felt so safe. I am going to the ball tomorrow and Roxas will be my Prince." Farrah said and at the mention of his name Poppy ends up drawing lipstick on her face in shock.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa what do you mean your Prince? Roxas isn't someone you can just claim for yourself. He can choose who he dances with by himself." Poppy said.
"And he will choose me and then he'll give me his Heart blossom." Farrah sighs causing Poppy to growl as she tackles Farrah to the ground and the two of them engage in a cat fight.
Thinking quickly Holly walks out of the room only to come face to face with Roxas.
"Hey Holly, have you seen Farrah and Poppy?" Roxas asks.
"Uh nope why do you ask?" Holly asks nervously.
"Well I was hoping I could get a few more dance lessons from Farrah and then I wanted to get some tips for my hair from Poppy." Roxas said as Holly quickly shut the door so he couldn't see the fight.
"Uh nope I'm sorry but Farrah broke her leg and Poppy is really sick so uh why don't you go look for someone else." Holly said nervously.
Looking at her closely Roxas' eyes narrow. "Holly, I know what you're doing." He said scaring her.
"You do? What?" Holly panics.
"Look Holly you seem really nice, but I love Poppy and I promise I would never do anything to hurt her." Roxas said causing Holly to blush.
"Wait…you think that I?" Holly stutters.
"I'll see you later. If you see Poppy and Farrah tell them I can't wait to see them." Roxas said walking away.
As Holly was left speechless the door opens behind her to reveal a glaring Poppy and Farrah.
"Holly were you trying to do what I think you were doing?" Poppy asks.
"What? No...I-I swear." Holly stutters when Farrah grabs her and pulls her into the cat fight.
"Hey Farrah, I'm here to help with your dre—" Ashlynn walks in to see the three girls fighting and slowly backs away.
In dance class, Melody was doing some stretches when she noticed Meeshell staring off into space lost in her thoughts.
"Ever After to Meeshell." Melody said snapping her fingers, but nothing worked. "Hello, Meeshell?" Melody said shaking her snapping her out of it.
"Huh? Oh hey Melody." Meeshell said looking over.
"What's going on? Is something on your mind?" Melody asks.
"Well there's a boy who I've been thinking about lately and I really want to ask to the True Heart's Dance." Meeshell said getting Melody's attention as well as the rest of the class.
"Who is it?" Melody asks.
"Well…it's Roxas." Meeshell admits surprising Melody.
'No way is Meeshell one of the 5 girls?' Melody thought before clearing her throat. "So uh what is it about Roxas that you like?"
"He helped me overcome my stage fright and become more confident, he's nice and generous, and when I see his strong arms and body my legs feel like—"
Before she could finish Melody tackles Meeshell to the ground.
"His body! You're attracted to Roxas because of his body!" Melody yells.
"Uh do they remember that the floors were just waxed?" Duchess asks as the two of them slipped on the ground and slid across the room before picking themselves up and fighting again.
In Art Class, Amora, Cerise and Crystal were making sculptures.
"Hey Amora, what do you think?" Cerise asks showing a small sculpture of a wolf.
"Very nice." Amora said using her magic to craft a sculpture of a model of Asgard.
Suddenly they felt a chill in the room. Looking over they saw Crystal using her wand to create a life-sized sculpture of Roxas.
"Wow Crystal that's good." Cerise said.
"It looks just like the real one. Where did this source of inspiration come from?" Amora asks interested.
Crystal was about to answer when they heard a clash from outside, looking out the window she saw Namine and Darling still fighting.
"How long have they been fighting?" Crystal asks.
"About 15 minutes." Amora said.
"Well anyway in the time I've known Roxas I'll admit I've grown rather found of him. He's always there when you need him and I-I think I like him." Crystal blushes.
Cerise and Amora look at each other and were both thinking the same thing. 'Crystal must be one of the 5 pieces.'
"Well at least she's not going into details about why she likes him." Cerise whispers.
Crystal was about to make another ice sculpture when they see Holly running down the hall.
"I'm telling you I wasn't doing it!" Holly screams as Poppy and Farrah chased after here.
"Get back here!" Farrah and Poppy said shoving each other out of the way.
Back inside they see that Crystal had made an ice sculpture of herself and it was holding hands with the Roxas sculpture causing Amora and Cerise to glare at her.
"Roxas is like the fire to my ice and I just know he'll choose me to give his heart blossom to." Crystal sighs.
Growling in anger both girls tackle Crystal into the ice sculptures.
The next day, Cupid was in the kitchens mixing something pink in a large pot. "Alright." Cupid dips her arrows into the pot and the tips glowed bright pink before turning back to normal.
"One batch of heart seeking arrows." Cupid smiles putting them in her quiver. "I better put these away, knowing tonight I'll be helping quite a few people fall in love." Cupid said walking away.
Walking in from the other side of the room Crystal, Briar and Ashlynn were getting supplies for the party.
"Alright we just need to get the ingredients for the punch and we'll have everything set for the party." Briar said as they looked around the kitchen when Crystal notices the large pot of liquid love.
"Hmm could this be it?" Crystal asks as they looked over.
"I guess Cupid was so excited she made this for us in advance." Ashlynn said.
"That girl takes True Hearts Day very seriously." Briar said as she picked it up and carried it to a cart, but as she did the pot splashed and some of it ended up in Crystal's mouth.
"Hmm not bad, but it could use some more juice." Crystal said when hearts appeared in her eyes.
"Juice huh? What kind?" Ashlynn asks when Crystal froze the mixture into snow cones. "Crystal what are you—" Before they could finish she loads the love snow into her snowball cannon and blasts them both in the face causing hearts to appear in their eyes.
"Uh oh. This is not going to be good." The female narrator said.
"Mom what's going on?" Brooke asks slightly afraid.
"This romantic holiday just turned into a nightmare." The female narrator said.
"I'm scared." Brooke admits.
"Me too sweetie, me too." The male narrator said.
At the "secret location" of where the True Hearts Dance was everyone was helping out in any way they could.
"So these hearts you give are not actual hearts?" La asks curious holding a paper heart.
"No, La this gonna be fun. Trust me." Raven said when Crystal, Briar and Ashlynn enter the room.
"About time you guys showed up." Cupid said when Crystal blasts Raven, Rosabella, Kairi, Olette, Blondie, Kitty, La, Duchess, Namine, Apple, Melody, Lizzie, Maddie, Farrah, Meeshell, Darling, Poppy, and Cerise making hearts appear in their eyes.
"Oh no. Amora run!" Cupid snaps turning to her.
"What's going on?" Amora asks startled.
"If that hits you until midnight you'll be—" Cupid never got to finish as Crystal blasts them both making hearts appear in their eyes.
"Alright boys, time for you all to feel the love." Briar said licking her lips.
In the hallways of Ever After High, Daring was at his locker looking at himself in the mirror when he sees Rosabella walking up behind him in the reflection.
"Oh Rosabella, hi." Daring smiles.
"Hey there Charming." Rosabella said stopping in front of him. "So any plans for tonight?"
"Well I had a few in mind." Daring said when Rosabella grabs him by his jacket and presses him against his locker.
"Consider them cancelled." She said as Daring sees the hearts in her eyes.
"Rosabella?" Daring gulps. "Wh-What are you doing?"
"Following my story…and taming a beast." Rosabella said making Daring shiver in fear.
"Daring?" The two of them look over to see Dexter walking over. "What is going on?"
"Dexter help me!" Daring said when Raven grabs him from behind startling him.
"R-Raven? Uh hey. What's up?" Dexter asks nervously when Raven slams her lips against him making Dexter turn bright red when he notices the hearts in her eyes and gasps.
"Sorry Rosabella." Daring said giving himself his beast arms. Lifting Rosabella up he tosses her into Raven and grabs Dexter's hand. "Come on we gotta get outta here!"
As both brothers ran down the halls Raven and Rosabella look at them with big grins on their faces. "You can run but you can't hide." Raven said.
Throughout the school most of the boys were doing their best to deal with the love sick girls.
Lea was sitting on a bench outside eating an ice cream unaware that La was crawling up a tree looking at him with a predatory gaze. Licking her lips she waited until Lea left himself open and pounces on him pinning him to the ground.
"La?! What the heck is wrong with you?!" Lea snaps.
"My king needs to have sharper reflexes." La said making him blush.
"K-King?"
"Well how else are we going to rebuild Opar?" La flirts.
Nearby Hayner was running for his life as Kitty appeared in front of him.
"Peek a boo." Kitty winks.
Quickly turning around Hayner tries to run out the door but Kitty appears in front of him and jumps into his arms.
"Meow." Kitty purrs nuzzling his face causing Hayner to turn bright red.
In the hallways Olette was looking around unaware of frog Hopper hiding above the lockers in fear.
"Hopper. Come out come out wherever you are." Olette said when Hopper misteps and falls in front of her. "There you are."
Freaking out Hopper tries to escape but Olette grabs him. "I know just what a frog needs to turn into a prince." She said about to kiss him when Pence bumps into her causing her to drop him.
"Pence, my friend how can I ever thank you?" Hopper asks hopping onto his shoulder.
"Hide me!" Pence said as Blondie was running after him.
"If I can outrun bears, I can catch you Pence." Blondie grins as Olette joins her causing both boys to freak out.
As Roxas was walking through the library he a snowflake fell on his nose surprising him.
"Huh?" Looking up he saw Crystal walking towards as she waved her wand causing snow to rain down above them. "Crystal?"
"What do you think Roxas? Kinda romantic?" Crystal asks getting closer.
"Uh I guess it's really impressive." Roxas stops when he sees the hearts in her eyes. 'Oh no not this again…wait Crystal likes me?' Roxas thought when Crystal kisses him on the lips.
"Don't worry Roxas, it's cold now, but I'll keep you warm." Crystal said when suddenly a stream of water blasts Crystal into the wall.
"Out of the way! He's mine!" Meeshell said holding out her orb.
"Oh come on." Roxas whines as he tries to make a run for it but Farrah appears from the other side of the door.
"What do you say Roxas? Want to go to the ball with me?" Farrah smiles when suddenly cards spun around Roxas and Lizzie pounced at him tackling him to the ground.
"Who needs a ball when you can have all of Wonderland." Lizzie said when a sword narrowly misses her.
Looking over they saw Darling swoop in and grab Roxas.
"Why would Roxas want to date a girl who needs saving when he can have a girl who can help save him?" Darling asks.
Roxas looks to see the five girls surround him from all sides and panics.
In the Casteteria, Sora and Riku had their keyblades drawn with their backs to each other.
"Riku I'm scared." Sora said.
"Me too Sora, this is crazier than everything we've ever faced." Riku said as Cupid and Kairi apporched them with hearts in their eyes.
"Come on Sora, I don't bite." Kairi said.
"We just want to show you both some love." Cupid said.
Suddenly they heard a scream, looking over they saw Hunter and Humphrey running for the their lives as Duchess and Ashlynn chased them.
"Come on Hunter we can go on a nice long nature walk." Ashlynn said.
"Hey Humphrey how about we make another dance video together?" Duchess flirts.
That night as the clock neared midnight all the guys covered in kiss marks as they ran as fast as they could before boarding the Tempest and Roxas immediately ran for the controls.
"Come on come on come one come on." They said quickly as Roxas tried to start it up when Maddie and Bunny jump on the windshield causing them all to scream.
"Hey Roxas, how about the four of us have a nice tea party?" Maddie grins.
"Interested in joining Alistiar?" Bunny asks.
"Roxas get us outta here!" Sora yells.
"I can't we're stuck!" Roxas said.
Looking down they saw Apple, Briar, Farrah and Amora were using their magic to keep the ship from flying.
As all the girls circled the Tempest everyone on board held each other in fear.
"Guys I just want to say, you all are truly one in a million friends." Humphrey panics.
"I never thought this would be how I left this world." Lea said when Poppy, Cerise and Melody kick open the door scaring them.
As the girls got closer and closer to the boys felt like it was the end for them when suddenly the clock chimed midnight and the hearts in all their eyes disappeared.
"Huh? Hey what are we doing here?" Namine asks.
"Last thing I remembered was we were getting ready for the True Hearts Dance." Apple said.
"Wait a minute…we missed it!" Darling said as all the boys looked to each other.
"We take this to our graves." Riku whispers.
"Agreed." They all nodded.
As everyone was going to bed trying to put the nightmare behind them Roxas laid in his room and looks at his newest heart blossom. Picking it up he walks out of his room.
At the doors of Apple, Cerise, Melody, Amora, Maddie, Namine, Briar and Poppy a knock was heard.
As they open their doors, they look down to see 1/8th of a Heart Blossom with a note that said "Happy True Hearts Day, Love Roxas."
