3 years after graduating from FTRS and not seeing her friends, there is a reunion party exactly 5 years after their last battle with Stiltskin. Gillian Cobbler's life is going exactly how it's supposed to... but is that a good thing?
Started: Januar...
I can't believe this day has finally come! Though I wanted nothing more than to escape this place when I first got here, I think I'll miss FTRS after I leave.
"Hey thief, you ready for the graduation ball? We're waiting on you." I hear Jax say. I take a deep breath.
Why am I so nervous? It's been 2 years since we defeated Alva and Stiltskin, I was fairly nervous then, but it was mostly anger. Now my hands are shaking and my stomach is doing flips while filled with butterflies.
I take a few more deep breaths and look in the mirror. Kayla designed my outfit and did my hair, she added a small amount of blush to my cheeks and a little bit of lipgloss.
My hair is in a stylish updo. It's in a bun with flowers in a circle around it.
My dress, I'll admit, is absolutely stunning. There is no way for my to describe it. I'm so confused by the feeling of liking a dress that I just can't describe it.

I touch the door handle and slowly turn it.
What if my friends think I look ugly? What if they laugh? Since when am I so self-conscious?
I pull the door open and step out. As I do I hear a gasp or two from my friends.
"Wow... you're actually wearing heels." Jax says. He looks surprised and is trying to mask it with a joke.
I smile nervously. Grimm, why am I so freaking nervous?!
My friends stare at me for a few minutes and I feel myself start to blush enough for my entire face to feel burning hot.
"We should get going." I say, clearing my throat.
My friends all blink a few time then nod.
Is Jax... blushing?? He totally is!!! Why?!?
I'm freaking out so much on the inside right now... it's okay Gilly. Just breath. Calm down. It's not like this is the day you get out of FTRS or anything, except it totally is.
My friends and I all walk down the ever changing hallways. I'm really going to miss this place. The constant fear of getting stuck in one of these walls is so exciting.
We all enter the FTRS gardens and look around. It's been 2 years right down to the day that we defeated the most feared villains of Enchantasia as 12 year olds.
"The guests of honor!" I hear someone yell and everyone turns to me and my friends.
I hear cheering and clapping.
"Let's get this party started!!!" I hear someone scream and not 5 seconds later music starts flooding the gardens.
My friends and I rush out and start dancing like there's no tomorrow, I took my high heels of first, obviously.
Hours later the music stops and I look around at my friends.
"I guess this is goodbye then." Maxine says in a hushed, sad tone.
"Don't talk like that Maxine! We'll all meet up from time to time, and we'll stay in touch!" AG says with a huge smile.
We all smile and I think of how different we all are. A witch, a pirate, a beanstalk climber, a fairy, a mermaid, an orge, a beast-princess, a prince, and the daughter of a shoemaker. We all ended up at FTRS and that's how we all met. This place that we're leaving, possibly forever, is what brought us all together. I'm going to miss every bit of it.
