The two mystery figures appeared In a dark hallway in the dead of night, taking note of their surroundings.
"Alright, no one's here. Good. Now let's put these on." the older twin says and hands him an amulet along with putting on her own. They both press the jewel that was in front and they both turn invisible. "Works every time."
The other smiles (if shown), before he caught onto a sound coming from nearby. "Um... Sis? Do you hear music or is it just me?"
His sister tried to look at him questionably. She then realizes that from a little distance that she hears party music. They, if they could, both looked at each other and went to where it was coming from. They then saw the Castleteria filled with teens dancing and colorful lights flashing.
"What?..." She asked.
They watched for a moment. Then the oldest thought of an idea. "Well, since they are distracted, we can search the school!" she suggested and went in the opposite direction.
"Nope." He says tugging her arm to stop her. "We need to see Apple. We barely went to this school and maybe she can help us with that." he reasons.
She looks at her sibling as she could for a moment, then sighs. "Fine."
Looking around, they both watch and observe. Lots of teenagers were either talking to others or dancing. All of them were having a good time but no sign of the one they're looking for.
"This seems pointless. We haven't seen her in years. She might as well look like a whole other person. And there are lots of people here! It's gonna be hard trying to find her in this crowd." she says.
"Don't give up yet." he tells her. Then looks around and sees a familiar face of a sleepy brunette. "Hey isn't that Briar? Apple's BFFA?" the brother asks while pointing at the Beauty.
His other twin looked to see the young princess. Even though the princess was a fully grown teen, she could still recognize the face. "It is." She looked a little different from the sleepy little girl that played with Apple when young, but it was still the same girl.
This gave the brother an idea. "Let's go see her." He says grabbing his older sister's hand.
If they can't find Apple then surely her BFFA would if they are still friends.
When they got to Briar, they both noticed that she was looking for someone. When she did, she called out. "Apple!"
Both of the twins' eyes widened when hearing that name. When they looked, they saw a blonde come in. Both of them observed her intently as they recognized Apple's face, hair, and the crown that she always wears.
"She kinda looks like you." the brother commented. And his sister nodded in stunned surprise and overwhelming nervousness.
"Hey Briar!" Apple gleefully says. "This party is amazing!"
"Glad you like it." the other princess says. "And things are about to get even better once we turn up a notch!"
"That's good to know." Apple states. "Is there anything you want to tell me?"
The two noticed how Briar's rambunctious attitude died down as she frowned, instantly getting worried.
"Apple," Briar falters a bit. "You can't keep ignoring her like that. She told me why you were avoiding her."
Both twins raise their eyebrows.
Apple's smile drops as she looks at her BFFA. "I... I can't face her now. She might hate me for ignoring her."
"Apple, I know for a fact that she won't hate you. You both have been great friends and she is also your roommate/crush." Briar states. Both invisible figures watch as they look at the two while hanging their mouths at what she said, taking in both the sleepy princess's statement and the blonde's flushed face.
"I told you not to mention it in public!" she whispered.
"Relax, girl. Everyone is busy dancing and I don't think anyone would listen to you crushing on your roommate through the loud music." Briar teased while snorted at Apple's panic attack.
The other two didn't know what to think. 'Aw. My baby sis is in love! Good work, Apple!' the sister thought.
'Wow... I can't believe it. She's grown up so fast! And now she's in love!' the brother might as well shed a tear.
"Look, you clearly can't keep doing this. I know this hurts for both you and her. Do you think this will help with anything just by not telling her the truth?" said Briar. "Besides, maybe this would be your chance to get the girl of your dreams." she points out while Apple was blushing red as the color of her namesake but still refusing to speak further.
The sleepy princess sighed. "I'll leave you alone to deal with these thoughts. Just know that you have to tell her eventually."
Briar left Apple and the twins looked around the other party members having the time of their lives while Apple's usual loving smile was gone.
They sigh. They're really doing this.
Before The blonde princess could go join her friends, she was grabbed by her waist and mouth, taking her by surprise. Apple's eyes widened and she struggled through their grasp as she was pulled away from the party. The two made sure she was quiet hoping that no one noticed the princess being kidnapped.
Only, someone did notice.
Right there standing a few feet away in the crowd, was a very angry witch.
Apple struggled through her kidnappers as she wrestled through their grasp.
"Shhh. Calm down, we don't want to hurt you. Just hear us out and we'll explain." a feminine voice says in the air close to her.
That was when Apple noticed that the mysterious person said 'we' and realized that her kidnapper wasn't alone.
The captived princess then decides to stomp on her captor's foot.
"OW! HEX IT!" the person shouted and held her swollen foot.
Apple then made a run for it but then felt the slight impact on her shoulder. She suddenly felt very dizzy and then stumbled to walk until she dropped to the floor with a dart on her.
"Bro! What did you just do!?" the sister exclaimed with both hands on her head while looking at the unconscious body, turning off her amulet.
"I- I panicked! Okay! I didn't mean it!" he replied as he too turned his amulet off and was terrified at what had just occurred since he just shot his baby sister.
"You just tranquilized our sister! We are in so much trouble and she won't ever trust us again!"
"Wait! I have an idea! We can move Apple to a classroom and when she is awake, we can explain everything once she's awake!"
"Apple?!" said another voice.
Both twins turned their heads. Stunned as they see Raven. The witch's eyes wide as she looked at the two back and forth, until her amethyst eyes landed on her sleeping princess with a tranquilizer dart on her shoulder.
The two realized how this looks. They're screwed.
"What did you do?!" the purple haired girl asked in rage while her eyes and hands burst in magical flames, making the other two even more terrified.
"This isn't what it looks like! We can explain everything!" the sister cried out.
"Then explain to me why my roommate is on the ground asleep with a dart on her shoulder!"
"Your roommate?!" they both said and freaked out. Anyone would have been better off to see her and her brother in this situation, but their sister's crush who turned out to be magical was a whole different situation.
"Yes! And you two should talk faster before you both get-" Raven was cut off and then plummeted to the ground just like Apple as she had a dart on her arm.
The eldest looked at her brother in exasperation and wide disbelieving eyes. She was so done with this. "Are you kidding me!" she threw her arms in the air. "Not only did you make our sister unconscious," the eldest then points at the witch, "You made her crush unconscious!"
"Look, I am too used to tranquilizing people when being in danger given by the many crazy disasters we seem to get into." he defends, feeling really bad and having his hands up in defense.
She looks at him for a moment. She sighs. His sister wouldn't blame him for reacting. Even though he was the more reserved of the two(and the softest), he still has his limits.
"Lets just grab the two in a very faraway room before any more people come in seeing us like this." she says picking up Apple, not wanting to deal with this conversation, "And we should probably tie them up or we'd be dead." she states out while dragging the body and her twin doing the same with Raven.
Kitty: Pffft!
Maddie: Kitty!
Kitty: (Laughing) I can't- it's… Hah!
Brooke: Just move on.
