(Scene: The Fandom Theater - Food Court)
(The place was packed with people and Thanksgiving festivities. The tables were aligned around the area filled with thanksgiving foods such as turkey, mash potatoes, ect. Along with other delicious delicacies. There were other decors as well to fill the Thanksgiving holiday themes and everyone was dressed nicely to enjoy themselves. Just then, Brooke, Maddie, and Kitty come in, taking the place in)
Maddie(Excited): Wow! This place is packed! And the food! (Takes out a tray of tea biscuits from her hat) All this place needs is some of my dad's special Thanksgiving biscuits and we'll be all set!
(Lucky comes to them)
Lucky: Hey guys! Glad you could come!
Brooke: We're glad to be here! Man, I can't wait to dig in and eat!
Kitty: Meh, I just came here because there would be a lot of people to mess with and get away with it.
Brooke: (Whispered to Maddie) aren't you going to stop her?
Maddie: (Smiles while whispering back) I'll let her have this. This is a great time to have fun after all. (Puts the biscuits on a nearby table)
Brooke: (Turns to Lucky. And then everyone else. And then looks at Lucky in confusion) Where's VP? Shouldn't she be here?
Lucky: (Gets a bit nervous) ah… well, that…
Kitty: Okay, spill. What is it?
Lucky: Remember when Halloween happened and you all had to deal with Witchy-loo?
Kitty: Yes.
Maddie: Clear as day in my mind.
Brooke: I still get nightmares.
Lucky: Well, it's like that.
(The girls groan)
Lucky: Don't worry. This one isn't that insane or would have the interest in messing with you for entertainment.
Brooke: But dangerous?
Lucky(Unsure): (makes a so-so gesture with his hands) Ehhh, 50-50. She's just… reserved.
Kitty(Doubtful): Why on Thanksgiving, though?
Lucky: *sigh* Thanksgiving is about being thankful. A kind of thing that varies to either personality, possession, and people. VP checks things off with the first two… it's just the last one is difficult. Especially to family.
Maddie: Why? (Gasp in horror) does she have family issues?! Is that why she makes family angst that good?
Lucky: No! She has a pretty good relationship with them… I think…
Kitty: (Raises her eyebrow in worry) You think?
Lucky: She's fine with them at times. They're really stubborn and it feels annoying to her whenever they have talks about grades and stuff… It's called having Asian parents and the other thing!
Brooke: What's the other thing?
Lucky(Stern): (Glares menacingly) We don't talk about that. Ever!
Brooke(Scared): Okay! Okay… so what happens on Thanksgiving that she seems like a recluse?
Lucky: (Thinking back) Well, she has this little problem that she has in real life. People could hear her but she ain't all that audible. We don't really know why it happens, but we would have many weird misplaced words that people thought they heard. Like saying "people", and others just get "potato". Happens a lot.
Maddie: (Giggles) Anything else?
Lucky: Well… Her family also ignores her so she tends to do her own thing. But even with all these little things, she still represents her being thankful. But to be honest, it's kinda hard to be thankful for something when you are unsure if you are even thankful for it.
Kitty(Skeptical): How is it hard? Just appreciate and be thankful for it.
Lucky(Tired): (Rubs his forehead) You know what? That is gonna be a whole other thing that I don't really want to explain. Just know that VP has a hard time being thankful.
Brooke(Upset): But that doesn't mean she shouldn't spend Thanksgiving with us!
Maddie(Determined): Yeah! I think everyone of us wants VP, whether a persona or not, here with us to spend time on Thanksgiving!
Kitty(Unsure): I mean… would it be such a bad thing? (Looks nervous at Maddie and Brooke's pointed eyes on her) Well, I guess we're doing this!
Lucky: *sigh* Fine. I'll take you to her. Do what you like to get her out of there. But I should warn you, it would be difficult.
(Scene: The Fandom Theater - in front of the Craft Door)
(the group stared at the singular white door that had a paper sign on the front that said "VP's Cardboard Craft Area!" in bold red letters while also having a picture of a opened cardboard box with fire out of it)
Brooke(Curious): I don't think I ever knew this was here. Did you?
Maddie: Nope!
Kitty: (Shrugs) I think I have but I didn't pay much mind to it.
Maddie(Skeptical): (Looks at Kitty) Really?
Kitty: *sigh* Okay, I did check to see what was inside but there was a punch of cardboard in there that I stopped looking around. Really dark too.
Lucky: Well, VP used to create things out of cardboard back then. Though, with school and writing, she does it only sometimes if she wants to or feels like it.
Maddie(Intrigued): That sounds really interesting! And creatively wonderful at the same time!
Brooke: Wait, why would this personality even be here?
Lucky: Well, she's kind of thankful for her craft skills. (Turns to leave) Bye! Good luck with her!
Brooke: Wait-!
(Too late. He was already gone, leaving the girls in silence. Then they looked at the door)
Maddie(Cheery): Whelp, let's go in! (Walks to the door)
Brooke: Wait, shouldn't we think of a plan in order to convince her?
Kitty: (chuckles) Brooke, please. Have you met us?
(Maddie opens the door… only to be blocked by cardboard)
Brooke: (Looks at the mass amount of cardboard with wide eyes) Umm…. Want me to get the scissors?
Maddie(Unfazed): Nope! (get's her hat, and takes out a chainsaw)
(Scene: The Fandom Theater - The Craft Room)
(A girl was working on something using cardboard and materials peacefully in the shadows. Until she was interrupted by the sounds of a loud and terrifying chainsaw, startling her)
(Out comes Brooke, Maddie, and Kitty. Maddie, was the one carrying the chainsaw)
Maddie: (Turns the chainsaw off and puts it away in her hat) Phew! That was a lot of cardboard!
(The girls stare out in amazement of the room. It was big and filled with arts and crafts of all kinds. Mostly boxes of cardboard)
Brooke(Amazed): Well, that's one way to reuse stuff.
Kitty: (Gives her friend a look) Really?
Brooke: (Gave the cat a minor glare) Look, let's just go find her and hope for the best. Any idea where she is?
Maddie: (Points in the shadows) Maybe we can ask her?
(They see someone glaring them down with bright orange eyes)
Kitty: Well look at that. Guess we didn't need to split up in a location we barely know of to do a search party.
Maddie: (Shouts out) Yoo hoo! Can you come over here?!
(The girl just backs away, attempting to escape)
Kitty: Oh, no you don't. (Uses her Cheshire abilities to take her to the shadows behind the girl. She grabs her wrist and warps her back to the girls)
(The girl was struggling through the cheshire's grasp)
(The girl was revealed to look like VP but what was different about her was that she black hair that reached above her shoulders and part of the strands were held by two orange hair clips. She also had a red beanie that had a roblox pin on it and red glasses with red tape held together that she wore over her orange eyes. She wore a fluffy tattered orange with yellow hue sweater over her red collared shirt with autumn leaf patterns. The sweater had a VP cardboard crafts pin and a white polar bear with a christmas hat pin. She also had jeans and black sneakers with paint while also wearing red leather gloves and orange diamond bracelets)
Maddie(Friendly and excited): Well, hello!
(The girl flinches)
Brooke: (Looks at her and blinks) Huh. You know, when Lucky told us about her, I thought she would look more…
Kitty: Weird?
Brooke: (Glares at Kitty) No! Just… with Witchy-loo and all…
Kitty: Guess this one is normal… probably.
The Girl(angry): Buông tôi ra!
(The girls froze in silence)
Maddie, Kitty, and Brooke(Confused): Huh?
Kitty: What did she just say?
The Girl(Mad): (Still struggling) Tôi nói "Buông tôi ra!" đồ ngốc! Hãy để tôi yên!
Brooke: I think she's speaking Vietnamese.
Maddie: The art of words is a fickle thing to grasp. Like Riddlish. Though, I think me and Kitty would be able to figure out what she's saying soon.
(Before Brooke could ask what that meant, the girl then stomps on Kitty's foot, making the Cheshire to yelp in pain and letting go of the girl as she made her escape)
Kitty(Angry): (eased her throbbing foot) You piece of shit!
Brooke: We need to go after her!
(The girls, minus Kitty who was still crying in pain, went after her at full speed. They dodged the multiple crafts of cardboard)
Brooke(incredulous): How many cardboard crafts does VP even have?!
Maddie: (Finds a mini cardboard piano with a storage compartment) You got to admit, she has great talent!
(The girl looked from her shoulder to notice they were catching up. Getting desperate, her eyes start glowing gold. Just then out of nowhere, a giant cardboard t-rex came in with glowing gold eyes in front of them. Brooke and Maddie stop in their tracks to look at the cardboard beast with wide eyes)
Brooke(Terrified): (Shrunk there) oh, boy.
Maddie(Surprised): (Blinks and tilts her head) You know, I think I saw this coming in the fanfic.
(The Cardboard T-rex lowered its head to the VP personality, to which she replied be climbing up to its neck. She was riding it)
The Girl: (Shouts) Tôi không đi cùng các người! Tôi sẽ không hành hạ bản thân mà bỏ bê đâu! Và bạn không thể ngăn cản tôi!
Maddie: (Writing what she said down on a notebook she got out of nowhere) Hmm, yep, yep. I think she said something about neglect and not coming.
Brooke: Wait, I thought you said you can't understand her?
Maddie: (Smiles) Not currently. But it's easy-peasy to pick up a new language. It's how me and other Wonderlandians adjusted to Ever After so easily.
The Girl: (Shouts) Hãy rời khỏi miền của tôi trước khi tôi tạo ra bạn!
(The t-rex roared loudly, causing both of them to wince and cover their ears. They felt hopeless. Until someone appeared behind the girl on the t-rex)
Kitty(Pissed Off): Yeah, that's not happening. (grabs her by the arm and warps back to the other girls and then quickly lunges at them as she teleported away)
(The t-rex was confused, blinking away the gold glow and went to sleep)
(Scene: The Fandom Theater - Food Court)
(The people of the theater were still enjoying themselves and having a fun time. Though, that didn't last long when Brooke, Maddie, Kitty, and the VP personality came from this air and fell to the ground)
The girls: Oof!
(All eyes were staring at them as they got from the ground except for the girl)
Maddie: (Stretching) That was a lot.
Brooke: Kitty, a warning next time?
Kitty(Annoyed): Hey, you should be thanking me. If not for me, then you two could have been rex chowder. (Thought of it) Not sure that would've worked with cardboard, though.
(Lucky come to them in exasperated rage)
Lucky: (Shouts) What is the meaning of this?!
Brooke: We brought her here to participate.
Lucky: I just thought you all wouldn't be able to! I thought you'd just give up after the first few tries!
Maddie: Well, when dealing with Ever After High shenanigans, giving up seems pointless.
(The girl was fuming. Her eyes were emitting glowing smokes of gold as she slowly got up to stand, causing the rest worry. Worrying more when they heard rumbling from a distance)
Brooke(Weary and Alert): (Looks around) What's going on?
Lucky: (Stands his ground and glares at them) You made her furious, that's what! Not only is she ignored at parties, she is forced to try to participate by her parents who don't understand her problem with them!
Kitty: (Glares at him) You people really leave things out huh? So what is happening to her?
Lucky: (Gave her a flat look) Remember what happened with Witchy-loo?
Kitty(Realizes): (Recalls her time on Halloween and throws her head back in tiredness) Why?... Why again?
Maddie: (Confused until she widened her eyes to the same conclusion as her girlfriend) Oh, dear…
(The wall burst out as masses of cardboard came flying through to circle the girl, causing a mess. As it did, the cardboard attached itself to her, forming a large cardboard mech suit, with the girl wearing it like armor with smoking glowing gold eyes)
The Girl: (Glares at the girls) Bạn sẽ trả tiền…
Brooke(Terrified): (Looks at Maddie and Kitty) *gulp* Guys, what did she say?
Maddie(Scared): Nothing nice.
Kitty(Scared): We're dead.
(The girl in the suit raised her fist and lunged at them. They closed their eyes as they braced for the impact. Luckily for them, the fist was stopped by a hand of ink)
(Lucky had his eyes glowing dimly blue and his hair sticking up slightly. The black dot over his eye was moving in a slow pace)
Lucky: (Shouts out) Stop right now Thera!
(The girl, Thera, was looking at him with wide eyes, stopping her attack to back away her hand. The girls sigh in relief. Lucky went back to normal and put the ink away)
Lucky: (Talking down to her) It was one thing to not come to a party, minding your own business. But it is another to attack people while ruining the party. (Refers the mess she made) I know these girls messed up big time-
Kitty: Hey!
Lucky: By pushing emotional boundaries where they didn't mean to. But they just wanted you to have fun.
(Thera was silent)
Brooke: (Walks up to her) Hey, uh… can you understand me?
(Thera nods)
Brooke(Apologetic): Look, we didn't mean to intrude. We meant well and wanted you to come and participate with us and have fun for once. I know about your problems with parties. And I promise, we won't leave you out.
Maddie(Encouraging): Yeah! You're a friend! And friends don't leave friends out!
Kitty: (Nods) What she says I guess.
(Thera slowly calmed down, letting the hold of her powers to release the cardboard as she went to normal)
Thera(Unsure): Bạn có chắc không?
Lucky: (Points at the food that survived) We also have some of your favorites. Like chả giò and mashed potatoes.
Thera(Interested): (Perks up) Chả giò và khoai tây nghiền?
(Lucky smiles and nods. Thera immediately rushes to eat)
Kitty(Incredulous): That's it?! All we had to do was tell her the food?!
Lucky: We usually just give them to her when she's working. (Smiles at the girls, gratefully) But I gotta say, good work to you guys.
Brooke: (Looks at the place with rubble and mess) Still, the place is still wrecked. And it was our fault for making it happen.
Flamey: (intervenes) Please, this place has gone through worse wreckage.
Snowflake: (Looks at Thera talking to the youngsters as she got some food) Besides, it's been a while since we've seen Thera out of the Craft Room. We couldn't thank you guys enough for that.
Fruitloop: (Goes to Flamey's side) And like you said, Maddie. We won't leave her out.
(The girls smile at one another)
Lucky: (Gestures to come) Now come on! We better make sure we all have a fun time!
Most of them: (Shouts in unison) Yeah!
(Photos:)
(Thera getting her cardboard creations to clean up the palace and repair with everyone helping her)
(Shows Thera staring out in amazement while sitting at a table as Maddie was stacking towers of teacups as others laugh and ate together)
(Thera was playing a violin and everyone was cheering her on as the melody felt alive)
(Thera was creating alive creatures of cardboard and giving them to her friends who loved her gifts)
(Everyone took a genuine group photo with huge smiles as they huddled close together. The words "Happy Thanksgiving, Everyone!" markered in orange)
(Everyone was looking at the photos fondly. Until Thera start glowing orange, indicating that she was disappearing)
Maddie: (Looks at the glow in concern) What's happening?
Kitty: (Widened in recognition) She's leaving. Her time is up.
Brooke: (Looks at Lucky) Can't she stay a little longer?
Lucky: *sigh* That's how things are. (Smiled to them) But she won't be gone for long.
(The girls looked at her, wanting to say goodbye)
Brooke: Take care!
Maddie: Yeah! Tạm biệt!
Kitty: Hope to see you again. You're alright, I guess
(Thera nodded at that and then smiled at them for their goodbyes. As the glow started to grow, she said her last words before disappearing)
Thera(Thankful): (Smiling wide) Cảm ơn các bạn. Thank you.
(The light flashed, making everyone cover their eyes. As the light dyed down, they uncovered their vision to see a sleepy VP in front of them)
VP: (Stretched) *yawn* Huh? What happened?
Maddie: (Smiling as she went to greet her friend) Chào mừng trở lại, VP!
VP(Confused): Huh, you said, hi. Right?
Kitty: You didn't fully understand her?
Lucky: (Explained to them) VP has a hard time understanding languages. The fact that Thera only prefers to speak vietnamese just means VP is thankful and appreciative of her heritage.
VP: (Notices the mashed potatoes) Ooh! Mashed potatoes! (Goes to them) Don't mind if I do!
Lucky: (immediately grabs her by the shoulder) Oh no you don't. Thera already ate enough as it is.
VP: (Whines) Oh, c'mon! Just a bite!
Lucky(Skeptical): Sure… a "Bite".
VP(desperate): Let me eat the mashed potatoes.
Lucky: I am not letting you get a stomach ache just because you want more mashed potatoes!
VP: No fair!
(They all watch with laughter at the interaction)
The end… is just the beginning…
Note: I had to use Google translate to write Vietnamese so... please note that not all the words may be correct.
Happy Thanksgiving, Everyone! Thank you for reading!
