A Mixed-Up Destiny Disaster

Epilogue

Bailey stood at the bridge of Ever After High, looking around at her classmates waving back at their parents. She looked over her shoulder at her parents.

"Don't be nervous, Bailey. You have Tessa, and you'll make a bunch of other new friends," Maria reassured her.

"I'm not worried about friends, Mom. I'm worried about..." She looked at her father. "I'm afraid I won't fall in love like you and Dad did."

She smiled. "Don't worry, sweetie. You'll have your own love story, you just have to find the right guy."

"But you and Dad were the Robin Hood and Maid Marian. You were destined for each other!" Bailey argued.

"We didn't know we were destined for each other until after we fell in love," she reassured her daughter.

"Didn't Dad fall in love with when you first-"

"Ah, let's not talk about that right now! The important thing is to have fun and learn all you can. Got it?" Sparrow asked.

Bailey nodded with a smile. Bailey looked over and saw Tessa walking over to her, along with her parents. "Hey, Tessa!" Bailey said, hugging her friend.

Tessa hugged back, smiling at Bailey's parents. Tessa pulled away and looked at her parents. "Any advice?" she asked.

"Don't let magic overwhelm you, and don't let Bella get on your nerves," Raven advised her.

Tessa nodded and walked off with Bailey into the school.

The four parents turned to each other.

"Coffee?" Dexter suggested.

"Yes, please," Maria groaned dramatically.

They all laughed and walked toward Book End. Maria glanced at Sparrow, knowing they had two six-year-olds waiting for them at home. Sparrow wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her closer.

"Things never change, do they?" Sparrow asked as they were joined by Alistair and Bunny.

"Nope, and I hope they never do."
