"MADDIE?"

" CEDAR?"

"LIZZIE?"

" DARING?"

"BUNNY?"

"DEXTER?"

"ALISTAIR?"

"CERISE?"

" CUPID?"

"BLONDIE?"

"HOPPER?"

"POPPY?"

"DARLING?"

" ROSABELLA?"

"FARRAH?"

"JILLIAN?"

"HUMPHRY?"

"DUCHESS?"

" RAMONA?"

" FAYBELLE?"

Most of the EAH teens were reunited in the darkest (and awkward) of time.

*TOILET FLUSH*

* RUNNING WATER*

*HANDDRYER*

Sparrow comes out of the nearby bathroom with a cardboard roll in his hands.

"Dudes, chicks, and none of the above, we're out of toilet paper!" Sparrow wailed earning looks for all around him. "What? Did I miss something?"

Everyone was silent for a moment until squeals, cries, and laughter broke out as the friends were reunited at last. Friends grouped hugged and began excitedly talking over one another just happy to be together!

Apple noticed Ashlynn on the side.

" Ashlynn!" Apple cried out s her eyes filled up with tears of joy as she rushed to her dear friend, but before she could do that-

"No!" Ashlynn shouted with her hand doing the 'stop' motion.

"Ashlynn?" Apple questioned meekly.

" Don't touch me, speak to me, or even look at me, APPLE WHITE!" Ashlynn seethed with anger as she spun on her broken heel and stomped off.

Everyone parted like Moses and the Red Sea as Ashlynn stomped by leaving Apple and the others confused.

"Ashlynn?" Apple meekly questioned. "What just happened?"

"Nows not the best time to talk to her, Apple." Briar said as she placed a hand on Apple's shoulder.

"BUT I GOT A LOT TO SAY TO YOU THREE!"

Everyone turned to see a fuming Lizzie, with her fist clenched so tight they were turning white, face so red that it hid her heart shaped make-up on her eye, and eyes locked on Apple, Daring, and Darling.

" I trusted and believed you three and all you've done to me was betrayed, lied, and hurt beyond repair!" Lizzie shouted up in the three's faces.

"Lizzie, I'm so sorry." Apple apologized.

" We didn't mean to hurt you." Daring admitted.

"Honest." Darling lamented.

"LIES, LIES, AND MORE LIES." Lizzie bellowed.

Daring and Darling hid behind Apple as Lizzie's fury grew.

"You knew how to get to Wonderland and kept it a secret from the rest of us. We're refugees and haven't seen our show in a whole year but treated it like a playground where you could escape the pressures of being ' the perfect princess'." Lizzie pointed at Darling who looked like a kicked puppy.

"You completely ignored my refusals to your advantages, yet you continued after I said no. Somehow made me like-like you and when that happened you decided to move onto the next princess like I was one of the damsels on your to-date-list. " Lizzie pointed at Daring who looked ashamed of himself.

" And then there's you! You said we had to follow are destinies, that it was wrong to Rebel against our stories, that we all had our parts to play, and we'll all get 'happily ever afters'. I believed you when you said all that because I believed that if I followed being Royal I would return to Wonderland with my friends only to find out I've been played a fool." Lizzie pointed as Apple who was filled with shock.

"Lizzie-" Apple croaked.

"OFF WITH ALL YOUR HEADS!" Lizzie stormed off in the same direction as Ashlynn.

This left everyone stunned especially Apple, Daring, and Darling.

"Um, hello?" Faybelle obnoxiously shouted. "Anyone miss me?"

Everyone remained silent as the six fairy cheerleaders came up front.

"Girls!" Faybelle exclaimed. " I know it must've been hard to survive without me."

"Faybelle, Faybelle, she's the worst!" The cheerleaders chanted. " We hate her more than liverwurst!"

With the cheer done the fairy cheerleaders flew away leaving Faybelle stunned silent.

"AAAHHH!"

Everyone turned to see Gordon in pain.

"GORDON!" Dexter cried out as he ran to him. " SOMEONE HELP HE NEEDS A DOCTOR!"

"Quick to the doctor's office!" Sparrow commanded.

DOCTORS OFFICE

Okay, it wasn't a doctor's office it was a spare room in Sparrow's treehouse that he used as a store his guitar collection as many guitars hung from the walls and in display cases. Now it housed many beds with patients in them being bandaged up.

Gordon was asleep on one of the cots as doctors and nurses healed him. Dexter watched Gordon from a safe distance as the others were close by as a doctor approached them.

"I have splendid news kids-" The doctor began. "Gordon is going to make a full recovery. You kids did a great job taking care of him with the minimum supplies you had, he just needs to rest up and he'll be right as rain."

Everyone gave a sigh of relief while Dexter fell to his knees as tears ran down his face as he broke down as the teens comforted him.

"Hey, while Gord-o is resting why don't I give you guys the grand tour of Case De Hood?" Sparrow questioned. "I updated the place since Raven took over ad people needed to take shelter. I might even rent this place out as a vacation home."

"If it's cool, I'll stay here." Dexter said as he took a seat next to Gordon.

The others understood as they left Dexter behind.

Base of Treehouse

The base of the treehouse had refugees sitting around near family and friends with sorrowful expressions and dark eyes on their faces. Everyone was trying to keep busy by cleaning, cooking, and playing board games with missing pieces.

"Here we are back at the base of my treehouse-" Sparrow announced. " With the other refugees."

Everyone looked up to see the teens.

"JERKS!"

"LIARS!"

"TRAITORS!"

The refugees jeered at the teens scaring them as the crowd advanced around them like an angry mob ready to tear them limb from limb.

"Hey, back off!" Poppy said jumping in front blocking her friends.

" We won't let you near them." Alistair had his arms out ready to defend his friends.

"Apologies, we were referring to Apple, Faybelle, Duchess, Daring, and Darling."

" Actually, that checks out." Kitty agreed.

"KITTY!" The teens scolded her.

"Our friends aren't jerks, liars, or traitors." Bunny huffed.

"Yes, they are: Apple and Faybelle aided the Evil Queen, Darling visited Wonderland on multiply occasions, Humphry made a tracking mirror, Briar threw the Storybook of Legends away, Headmaster Grimm lied to us for centuries, and a whole bunch of crap I lost track of." A refugee jeered.

" And Cerise is half-wolf!" Another said.

"What the fuck did you say about my cousin!" Ramona roared as she shifted into wolf mode with her teeth out and snarling.

The mob backed off in fear.

"Look, everyone." Maddie came forward. " Our friends made some mistakes, but they made up for them and are trying to help cure Raven from the curse Headmaster Grimm put on her."

"What curse?" A mob member shouted.

" The curse Headmaster Grimm put on Raven to turn her evil!" Cerise said.

"Raven's not cursed, we saw her sign THE REAL Storybook of Legends and she's following her destiny." Another mob member shouted.

"No she's not!" Brooke argued.

"Wait a second who's she?" A mob member questioned.

"She's Brooke and she's a narrator." Maddie said.

Everyone looked annoyed at yet another Maddie's 'narrators' talk except for Kitty who was wide-eyed.

"BROOKE!" Kitty meowed.

"Yes, Kitty." Brooke nodded. "It's me."

"Oh my God!" Kitty ran up and hugged Brooke tightly. "It is you; don't you see they're telling the truth!"

"I'm not buying it, and I watch late night infomercials!" Someone shouted.

The mob mumbled amongst themselves.

"It's the truth!" Cedar shouted as she stepped forward. " Headmaster Grimm and the Evil Queen poisoned Raven, Brooke is a Narrator, and we are going to stop Raven before she breaks her mom out of mirror prison."

"Why should we believe you?" Someone said.

"Because -" Cedar began. "I CAN'T LIE !"

It was true everyone knew of Cedar's curse, so she was telling the truth.

"And we have proof in the many copies we made." Cerise said. " Blondie play the evidence."

"Got it!" Blondie said as she, Humphrey, and Hopper finished putting up the projector.

The film ran revealing everything.

" Don't you see we're telling the truth now?" Apple questioned.

"Yeah, but it still doesn't mean we trust you; what kind of future Snow White are you?" Someone in the crowd shouted.

The air in the treehouse became stale with awkward tension.

" Actually, I'm not the future Snow White anymore." Apple began as she rubbed her arms nervously. "I made a deal with Duchess if she got us here safely, she could have my destiny."

*GASP*

Everyone gasped at what they just heard.

"That's right!" Duchess proclaimed as shoved Apple to the side. " I'm gonna be the new Snow White with all the bells and whistles."

Despite all the truth in front of them the refugees were still filled with doubt and fear.

"Alright that is quite enough as co-president of Ever After High, we're gonna need help to save Raven." Maddie stated.

"And as also co-president I know I left everybody down, but I want to make things right." Apple said.

"Apple's right!" Sparrow came up front. "As someone who has done bad things on purpose countless, I forgive Apple for the one mistake she's done."

Ashlynn stepped forward " I'm willing to give Apple a second chance."

"And I have complete faith in Maddie, Kitty, and Brooke." Lizzie stepped forward earning smiles from the three girls.

"And we'll need all the help we can get so any helpers?" Farrah questioned.

At first the room was silent until chanting was heard.

"Farrah, Farrah, she's so great!" The fairy cheerleaders chanted. "We hope one day we'll bake her cake!"

Soon everyone was onboard and willing to help the teens.

"So, what's the plan?" Blondie asked.

The room became silent again.

"WHO'S HUNGRY?" Sparrow exclaimed. "That way to the underground kitchen."

"I'm hungry!"

"I could eat!"

" I call dips on the good rations!"

A good number a refugees went to the underground kitchen and as soon as they were away from the teens.

"Hey, where's my dad, Hunter, and Holly?" Maddie questioned.

"And Justine?" Ramona questioned.

Poppy and Ashlynn just looked down on the floor their face painted in sorrow as Ashlynn ran her fingers on Hunter's Silver keyring with feathers.

"Oh." Maddie and Ramona said in unison as they understood.

The mood went to sad, to moody, and nosedived into depressing.

"Let's go to my room we can think of a plan there." Sparrow said.

Later

Doctor's Office

Dexter's eyes began to flutter open as he rubbed the sandman's sand from his eyes trying to see and remember where he was.

"You drool in your sleep." A voice said.

Once, Dexter got his bearing he remembered he and the others were in Sparrow's treehouse, in the doctor's office, with -

" Hey, Dexter." Gordon gave Dexter a warm yet weak smile.

" Gordon!" Dexter cried out as he hugged his friend as Gordon hugged back. "How are you feeling Gordon?"

"Much better, my leg still hurts like fuck, but I won't complain." Gordon said.

"Language!"

The two turned to see Apple, Maddie, Earl Grey, and Brooke with a tray of food.

The next hour was spent telling Dexter and Gordon of their plans to save Raven.

"So, how did that happen?" Gordon questioned Dexter.

"How what happened?" Dexter said as he bit into a roll.

"You and Raven, when we were captured, you didn't finish telling me the story. When did you fall in love with her?" Gordon questioned as he stuffed my ice chips into his mouth.

"Yes, do tell us Dexter!" Maddie clapped as she bounced in excitement as Earl Grey sat on her shoulder adorably squeaking.

" I won't lie, I'm curious as well." Apple agreed as she sat down next to Maddie.

"Me too!" Brooke added.

Dexter knew he had no way out.

"Okay." Dexter began. "Well, it all started Freedom Year." Dexter began.

Okay, gonna end it here! The next chapter we're gonna find out how Dexter fell in love with Raven. Bye.
