The Apple of My Eye: Book Two (An Ever After High Crossover)

The Interview

"This is Blondie Locks, reporting live from the Ever After High Thronecoming Dance with breaking news! There is a new royally rebellious romance in the air. It's a surprise to find that the rumors were actually true! That our very own Apple White, the firm believer of honoring tradition has flipped the script, following her true heart and is dating the new kid, Kyle Broflovski! So does this mean that he's actually the true prince of Apple's destiny?"

The reporter cuts though the couple's dance, shoving the microphone into their face.

"Care for any comments, you two?" giggled Blondie.

Kyle faced his Starlight, who gave a polite nod. He parted his lips, words already forming in his mind.

"When we first met, I thought I was destined to be alone. As time went on, we gotten to know each other and I realized that I wasn't alone after all," smiled Kyle.

Apple tilted her head slightly, her expression one of pure love. Caught a bit off guard, Blondie passed the microphone to her.

"All my life, I've been dreaming about my happily ever after. Now after all that we've been through, how can I live my happily ever after without sharing it with the person who means the most?" Apple's eyes glossed over, barely holding back tears of happiness. Blondie, sniffling, pulled a tissue from her bag and blew her nose, attempting to maintain her composure.

"How beautiful!" gushed Blondie.

She then hands the microphone back to the Elven King.

"Last question! What's with the new look? Were you hiding those ears this whole time behind that hat of yours?" Blondie arched a brow, asking the one question that must have been on everyone's minds.

Kyle nervously placed a finger to the chin, slightly scratching it as he figured out what to say.

"It's an elf thing. Elves are highly magical creatures of the forest and apparently, we are closely tied to the moon. So, I guess that hexplains my new features," Kyle laughed, trying not to say too much about his true nature.

"Well, there you have it, folks! This is Blondie Locks signing off!"

The reporter motions for Dexter to cut the feed as Blondie rushes up to Kyle and Apple, pulling them in for a group hug.

"I knew it! You two ARE just right for each other!" she squealed.

She then releases them as she scurries away, finally leaving Kyle alone with his princess. Kyle let out a small sigh, relieved that he didn't embarrass himself during the interview. In the corner of his eye, Apple pulls out her MirrorPhone, nudging closer towards him.

"Do you mind if we take a picture?" she asked, a hint of color rising in her cheeks.

Kyle assisted her in positioning her phone. As the camera clicked, he leaned in, planting a kiss on her warm cheek. Apple sprang back, her face now a shade redder than her name.

"Another photo to cherish forever after," Kyle said with a wink.

The Swan Princess, fuming with anger, sat isolated in the ballroom's corner, her arms tightly folded, until she was approached by a mysterious dark fairy.

"Looks like your plan backfired. What a fairy fail," Faybelle shook her head.

Duchess ground her teeth, her fists clenched in fury. She was set on revenge, and she wanted it immediately. She wouldn't allow her rivalry to conclude in disgrace.

"I won't be defeated by that fake Royal! She's gained even more popularity than ever after!" Duchess's feathers bristled with irritation.

Faybelle rested a hand on her best friend's shoulder, a sly smile spreading across her face.

"Do you really think I left you without a backup plan?"
