Chapter 93: Step in Time

Hey everyone I'm back, now tonight Descendants 3 is finally here and I think we all should have a moment of silence for Cameron Boyce. I hope you like what I have planned. Please Review and Enjoy.

In the Headmaster's office, Headmaster Grimm had called Xion and Namine to his office for something important.

"It's strange for you to call us here and not have Roxas nearby." Namine giggles.

"Yes, well this matter is just for you both." Milton said.

"As you are aware we recently gave Roxas his own last name and since you two were in a similar situation we decided it would be best to give you both ones as well." Giles said surprising them.

"Really?" Xion smiles.

"Oh yes dears." Baba Yaga said.

"Now Namine for your new last name we thought the name Kioku would be a good fit." Giles said.

"Kioku?" Namine asks.

"It means memory, we thought it was a good fit for you." Baba Yaga said.

"Namine Kioku, I like it." She smiles.

"Now as for you Xion we came up with—"

"Uh Headmaster, if you don't mind I'd like my last name to be the same as Roxas." Xion asks.

"You want to be Xion Twilight?" Milton asks as she nods.

Looking to Giles and Baba Yaga the two of them shrug not seeing a problem with it.

"Xion Twilight it is." Milton smiles.


Meanwhile down in the castleteria, everyone was sitting down enjoying lunch.

As Merida stood in line she was glancing at the food in confusion. "Uh guys what is this stuff?"

"It's a burger. They're really good." Sparrow said taking a bite of his.

"And here they let you eat food with your bare hands?" Merida asks.

"Yeah, it's the only way how to." Briar said.

Looking at it, Merida picks up her burger and takes a bite out of it before smiling. "I love this world."

"So how are you guys liking being a student here?" Apple asks looking at Sora, Riku and Kairi.

"It's pretty nice actually." Riku nods.

"Yeah I have lots of fun." Kairi said.

"Although I wish they would cut us a break on the homework." Sora said causing everyone to chuckle.

"Nope even though we're heroes we still gotta do homework." Roxas said.

"So what do you guys think this big mission Yen Sid has planned for us is going to be? We're coming up on it." Raven asks.

"I bet it's a big one, maybe we'll be fighting some really strong opponents." Daring said.

"Maybe it's some kind of competition." Cerise said.

"I'm betting it's a new world." Xion said as she and Namine walk in.

"Whatever it is I just know we're gonna do well." Roxas said.

"I don't know about all of us." Humphrey said as they looked over to see him, Dexter, Hopper and Duchess having unsure looks on their faces.

"What's wrong guys?" Briar asks.

"Well we're not exactly as familiar with fighting as you guys are, what if we mess up?" Hopper asks causing Merida to frown.

"Oh yeah I just joined a few days ago. Maybe you should do this without me." She said.

"What? We can't Yen Sid he wanted all of us to go." Darling said.

Roxas tries to think of a way to talk some sense into his friends when he felt a vibration coming from his backpack. Opening it he saw his Mary Poppins book was glowing.

"Mary Poppins." Roxas smiles as he opens it and all the Forever After Fighters were sucked inside.

When they light faded away Roxas found himself at Cherry Tree Lane with Duchess, Dexter, Humphrey, Hopper and Merida who were looking around confused.

"What the? Where are?" Humphrey asks.

"What magic is this?" Merida asks looking around.

"Where are the others?" Dexter asks when suddenly they heard a cannon go off startling them and turning Hopper into his frog form.

"What on Earth was that?" Hopper asks.

"Right on time." A familiar voice said.

Turning around Roxas saw Bert, but his clothes and face were filthy. "Bert? What happened to you?"

"Oh this? It just so happens today I'm a Chimney Sweep. I see you all just heard the Admiral." Bert said looking up.

"Admiral?"

"Ahoy down there." Looking up at a house they saw a man in a sea admiral's outfit looking down at them.

"Ahoy Admiral Boom, perfect timing as always." Bert waves.

"Good evening Bert. Ahoy young ones." Admiral Boom waves. "I saw Mary Poppins take a large group of young ones up on the rooftops."

"Ah she's getting them ready I suppose." Bert smiles.

"Them? You mean our friends?" Dexter asks.

"But why aren't we with them?" Duchess asks.

"Well, Mary says you 5 aren't so sure about what you can offer to your friends is that right?" Bert asks as they all frown.

"Bert I want to tell them they shouldn't worry but I think they need a little more help." Roxas said.

"Quite right, so mind telling me what's on your mind?" Bert asks.

"Well we just recently joined the team, we're not as experienced as the others." Hopper said.

"Not to mention we feel like we might hold them back." Dexter said.

"Hold them back? Fellas you do the opposite. Why if you're not all together fighting side by side then your friends won't have anyone to rely on or to watch their backs." Bert said.

"We need you, all of you." Roxas said.

"Your team will always be there for you, but you need to be there for them as well." Bert said

"Quite right Bert." Looking up they saw Mary Poppins walking down to them on staircase made of smoke. "Come along children."

Smiling Roxas walked up the stairs followed by Bert and the others shrugged before following behind them.

As they reached the rooftops the sun went down to reveal the night sky.

"Hello!" Sora said popping his head out of chimney.

"Hello!" Raven said as she, Apple and Cerise popped out of another.

"Hello!" The rest of the Forever After Fighters said popping their heads out of the chimneys.

"Look it's all your pals." Bert smiles.

"What are they all doing?" Merida asks.

"Showing you that they'll always be ready to step in to step in just in time." Mary Poppins smiles.

"Step in time! Step in time!" Bert calls out saying their cue.

"Step in Time!" They all yelled jumping out of the chimneys and onto the rooftops.

When the song and danced finished all the Forever After Fighters walked up to their friends.

"Guys that was amazing." Humphrey said.

"So great." Hopper said.

"Well Mary Poppins told us that if we tried this you guys would know how we all feel about you guys on the team." Riku said.

"And we all just jumped onboard." Donald said.

"And it was fun." Goofy smiles.

Seeing how much effort the team had put into making them feel better Humphrey, Dexter, Merida, Hopper and Duchess felt much better about their chances for Yen Sid's task.


That night at the Ever After High girl's dorm, Apple and Raven were walking to their room humming the lyrics to Step in Time.

"Man that Mary Poppins is something else." Raven smiles opening the door to their room.

"I'll say, she's so helpful." Apple smiles when she suddenly heard a blast followed by a thud. "Raven? Raven?" Turning around she saw Raven laying down on her bed unconscious.

Walking up to her Apple shakes Raven trying to wake her up but it was to no avail. "Wow, you're out like a light." Suddenly she heard a cackle.

Turning around she summoned her staff. "Who's there?"

Walking around the room she found herself drawn to her mirror. Looking at her reflection she looked in horror to see her reflection was the Organization member holding the Centurion staff.

"You?!" Apple jumps backward about to attack when she realized it was just her reflection. "Wait a minute, what am I doing?" Apple raised her arm and the Organization member copied her.

Smirking Apple made a silly face when suddenly a hand shot out of the mirror and grabbed her by the neck.

Choking her Apple looks in shock to see the Organization member climb out of the mirror and throws her across the room.

Apple looks up in horror as the figure raises the Centurion

"No one can save you now." It said bringing it down on her when Apple screamed waking her up revealing all of it to be a dream.

Looking around Apple panted heavily before running to her mirror where she saw her normal reflection.

While she was distracted she didn't notice Raven was awake and was worried about her roommate.
