*back with Lizzie and Duchess while walking to class*
Lizzie: *notices Duchess speed up* Why are you walking so fast?
Duchess: *to Lizzie* I want to get there early so I can tell Mr. BadWolf to transfer me to another class!
*the two are walking*
Lizzie: *concerned* Can you do that? Headmaster Grimm makes all the decisions. There must be some reason why he included you.
Duchess: *annoyed* Putting me in General Villainy doesn't make sense.
Lizzie: *to Duchess* We have a saying in Wonderland: The rhythm of time brings the telling of time.
Duchess: *arches eyebrow* What's that supposed to mean?
Lizzie: *to her* It means all answers will be revealed in time.
Duchess: *looks at her* That actually makes sense.
Lizzie: *arches eyebrow* Why wouldn't it?
*Shuffle leaps from Lizzie's bag and rushes off*
Lizzie: *worriedly* Oh no!
*Lizzie takes off after her hedgehog*
*Duchess follows her*
Lizzie: *yells* Watch your feet or HEADS WILL ROLL!!!
*Shuffle ends up getting scooped up by masculine hands*
*Lizzie and Duchess look up to see a blonde haired boy with blue eyes and in a letterman's jacket and pants and he has on a golden crown*
Duchess: *her heart begins beating and starts blushing*
*Daring Charming was holding Shuffle*
Duchess: *sighs dreamily* (Daring's so handsome...)
Lizzie: *picks up Shuffle* You naughty hedgehog. *puts Shuffle back into her bag*
Daring: *to Lizzie with a smirk* No need to thank me. Rescuing fair damsels is what I do.
Lizzie: *looks at him with an unamused look* I don't need to be rescued. I'm perfectly fine with taking care of my hedgehog. *looks at her bag calmly*
Duchess: *flips her hair strands and smiles at Daring dreamily* Both our names start with D...*she snaps out of it and realizes that Daring and Lizzie are looking at her* *blushes* Did I say that out loud...
*they all see a group of girls fawning over Daring*
Duchess: *huffs in annoyance* (Are all the girls in love with Daring?)
Lizzie: *starts to walk off* Well gotta go, riddle you later...
Duchess: *follows her quickly while blushing*
Daring: *rushes up to them* Uh...hold on Lizzie. *he smiles and the girls shield their eyes* I was wondering if you'd like to do something with me, but then I asked myself, why waste my time wondering? Of course you'd like to do something with me, who wouldn't? *winks*
*the other girls fawn over him*
Lizzie: *smiles* Do something. You mean like...*smiles rather forcefully* ...chop off your head?
Duchess: *attempts to stifle her laugh but she accidentally lets a honk out of her mouth*
Daring: *looks at Duchess oddly* Did you just honk?
Duchess: *nervously while blushing* Uh-huh..
Daring: *notices* You look slightly familiar.
Duchess: *smiles* I'm Duchess Swan. We've had class together...
Daring: *smiles* I'm sure you're enchanted to make my acquaintance. *to Lizzie while flirting* Now...we could go for an evening stroll. My face looks stellar in moonlight. But come to think of it, I look great in sunlight, too. Candlelight, lamplight, firelight—you really can't make me look bad
Duchess: *pouts* (He's asking Lizzie out...what about me?)
Lizzie: *solemn* I don't want to take a stroll with you. I get plenty of exercise from being on the Croquet Team.
*Duchess looks at Lizzie in shock*
*the girls gather around Daring*
Girls: *happily* I'll go on a stroll! No, take me! Take me strolling!
Daring: *looks at Lizzie in confusion* Did you just say, you don't want to go? With me?
Lizzie: *direct* That's what I said.
Daring: * shocked* But...is that possible?! Who wouldn't want to go out with me!
Lizzie: *matter-of-factly* Possible is as possible does.
*Duchess is watching the two and is about to ask Daring but realizes her priorities*
Duchess: *to Lizzie* Come on!
*the two leave Daring who watches Lizzie go in confusion*
*ahead with the two*
Lizzie: *annoyed* I hate getting angry so early in the morning. I don't know how my mother does it. She at least has fifty temper tantrums a day. I've already had a few and I'm already exhausted.
Duchess: *quiet* (Lizzie brushed off Daring's invite like it was nothing. And Daring went to Lizzie while ignoring me! At least I'm showing interest. Does he like Lizzie over me?)
