*at Ever After High the sun starts to rise on the castle school like structure*

*in a dorm at the school we enter on a dorm room made colored on one side in red, black, and white like decks of cards while the other was bathed in whites, blacks, and purples with feathered motiffs*

*honking can be heard*

*a feminine English voice can be heard from the left side of dorm room*

Voice- *annoyed* Don't tell me it's morning already *annoyed* Off with it's head!

*on the right side of the dorm*

*the girl has olive colored skin and with long black and white hair and is currently dressed in a silk white robe with a black belt with feathered trim*

*the girl yawns and gets up and hears honking noise from her bedside*

*across from her another girl with red and black long hair and turquoise eyes dressed in a card suit patterned robe glares at the other girl*

Girl- *annoyed* For the love of Wonderland, Duchess! Off with that duck's head!

Duchess- *frowns* Pirouette is not a duck! She is a trumpeter swan, Lizzie!

Lizzie- *looks at Duchess in annoyance* Duck, swan, pigeon...they're loud! Find some way to quiet them down.

Duchess- *glares* Of course they're loud, they're named after trumpets, not flutes. Besides they haven't been fed yet.

*Duchess stretch her limbs*

*Pirouette keeps honking*

Duchess- *calls out* Alright, hold your feathers.

*Duchess opens the window and let the swan fly out the window*

Duchess- *to Lizzie* *crosses her arms* Happy?

Lizzie- *smiles* Very.

*Duchess rolls her eyes as the their common room door barges open and two princesses burst in*

Duchess- *glares at the princesses* Ever heard of a little thing called knocking!

*the first princess has long orange hair with green eyes and is dressed in her robes*

*the second princess has long curly blonde hair and blue eyes and is dressed is a red nightgown with a pink laced robe with a black belt*

Orange Haired Princess- *to Duchess* *concerned* We need to talk...*yawns* It's about your alarm clock.

Duchess- *annoyed* What?

Blonde Haired Princess- *admits with a yawn* Yes, your goose alarm clock.

Duchess- *eye twitch*

Duchess- *annoyed* She isn't a goose, she's a swan! As a princess who has birds to help her, you might want to brush up on your birds!

Blonde-Haired Princess- *admits* Right, sorry Duchess.

Duchess- *looks at the other princess* What do you guys want?

Ashlynn- *looks at Duchess* Apple, and I agree as well as the other princesses that the honking sound from your room every morning is starting to become a royal pain.

*the other three nod as well as Lizzie*

Duchess- (Royal pain?!)

Ashlynn- *smiles* I'm happy to lend you some of my song birds *whistles calmly*

*some song birds fly in from the window and land on Ashlynn' fingers*

Ashlynn- *smiles* It's a more cheerful way to wake up.

Apple- *admits* Bird alarms aren't always reliable. *to Duchess* I'd be happy to connect you guys to our network of dwarves. They'll send you a wake up call to your Mirror-Phone.

Duchess- *glares* I don't need your song birds or your dwarfs. *crosses arms with a glare* (Prissy privileged princesses, being bothered by simple honking but still having good destinies, they don't know tragedy if it saw them,  these princess and all get their happily ever after's with love and companionship and what do I get, I get turned into swan forced to live out the rest of our days as a swan who loses their prince in the end. The nerve of complaining about simple honking as if they don't have a care in the world. How infuriating...)

Lizzie- *to the two in annoyance* I order this meeting to be over! Now! Leave our chambers, or it's OFF WITH YOUR HEADS!

*the two look spooked*

Duchess- *false sincerity* Sounds good to me, although I was so enjoying our little chat.*solemn* However it's time to get dressed for class. *to Ashlynn* Unless you wanna be late and show up to class in rags.

Ashlynn- *worriedly runs out the room*

Apple- *concerned* I better go too, my magic mirror is calling.

*the two leave the room leaving, Duchess and Lizzie in the common room*

Duchess- *scowls* Good riddence.

Lizzie- *annoyed* If mother we're here, she'd order their heads to be chopped off.

*Pirouette fly into Duchess'  arms and nuzzles her*

Duchess- *sincerely as she pets Pirouette* *whispers* Lucky girl...you can go fly to wherever your heart desires.

Duchess- *sincerely whispers* Especially when you don't have to deal with know-it-all princesses.

*she gives swan kibble to the swan and started towards the window*

Lizzie- *sighs* I'm going back to bed.

*she goes back to her side of the room and closes the door*

*Duchess looks out the window solemnly*

Duchess- *annoyed* (Those princesses worry about the smallest little thing, all because they're self-assured with their destinies and have happily ever afters waiting for them, meanwhile what do I get?! I get to be a literal Swan Queen with no Happily Ever After and cursed to remain a swan forever after with no prince) *tears stream down her face* It's...not...fair.
