The Tale Must Go On

Chapter 3: A Princes Power

Axel looked as the four girls ran out of the cafeteria. "You were pretty rude to the one who was eating the cereal." Axel said, looking at his friend, Carter.

Carter shrugged, "What, you've seen the girls here, they just come here to gawk at the princes. And I meant it as a joke."

"I do hate it when people like you just for your looks." Jamie, another Everboy agreed.

Jamie was an everboy with tawny hair, tinted with a bit of gold, soft blue eyes, and olive skin.

"Yeah, but I don't think she took it as a joke." Axel pointed out. "And if you want one of them to go to Snow Ball with you, you probably shouldn't be rude to them." Axel paused.

"I wonder what Zara wanted, she didn't tell me cause she ran after her friend." Axel wondered out loud.

"I don't think it's anything important. Or she would've came and told you." Carter said, getting up. "Come on, we have Good Deeds."

"Yeah, I guess." Axel said. "We wouldn't want to be late or I might lose my Groom Room privileges." He joked, earning a small chuckle from his friends.

"We'll see you guys at practice." Axel told the group of princes, who all nodded and said their goodbyes.

The three walked the halls of Good until they reached Professor Dovey's classroom.

"Hello gentlemen, you're early today." Professor Dovey said, smiling at the three princes.

"Well, rather early then late." Axel said with a quick smile.

"What type of princes run late?" Carter asked, smiling at professor Dovey.

Professor Dovey let out a kind laugh and smiled at them. "Take your seats, until class starts."

The three princes sat next to each other, talking about their recent sword practice.

"I don't know who that is, he never shows his face." Axel said exasperated. "Yet he's one of the best."

"You think? He beat all the princes before him. And he was so close to beating you as well." Carter added, eyebrows scrunched up. "I wonder how he breathes through that mask."

"Trust Carter to turn a mystery into a 'I wonder if he can breathe' thing." Jamie joked.

"My question is, how do the teachers not force him to show his face? Have you seen him on school grounds?" Axel asked the other prince. Carter and Jamie shook their heads.

"Have you heard him talk?" Jamie questioned the other two princes. Axel shook his head as well.

"We shouldn't worry about it, he hasn't beat us." Carter added, reassuring his friends.

"Yeah, you're right." Axel said.

"Class has started, boys." Professor Dovey's voice said, making the princes quiet and turning their attention to the class.

"Everyone knows that you won't find your true love if you can't be a Good person." Professor Dovey started. The boys stared at her attentively. "Even though you have to be a Good person in order to be sitting here right now, you don't want that pureness to fade away. This is why we practice Good deeds."

At this point, the whole class was scratching notes. "So, today I will be giving you 3 different scenarios, and your job will be to see what Good would do." With a swish of her wand, paper's appeared on the student's desks. Axel read the first question:

1. In this situation, you can get eternal glory, but you need to sacrifice something. Would you:

A. Sacrifice your true love (Happily Ever After)
