Once Upon a Time

Chapter 5

~ Third person pov ~

They were all painting the roses, Evie although she was helping to paint she couldn't concentrate. So many thoughts were running through her mind. What happened to her mother is hardly mentioned in the books; maybe it has something to do with her disappearance?

Yuu : " Evie? Evie? Evie! "

Evie : " oh, sorry Yuu I was just thinking"

Deuce : " you look very thoughtful, are you okay?"

Evie : "Oh yeah, just, you know kingdom problems "
( anime sweat rolling down her forehead )

Cater : " Okay, it's almost time! Okay, all you sexy body doubles, that's a wrap!"

Caters: "Aye-aye, Cay-Cay!"

Heartslabyul Dorm - Tea Garden

Heartslabyul boy: "All hail our leader, the red sovereign himself... Housewarden Riddle!"

Heartslabyul girl: "We salute you, Housewarden Riddle!"

Riddle: "Hm. The garden roses are red, the tablecloths are white... This seems a proper unbirthday indeed.
Is there a dormouse asleep in the teapot, as there should be?"

Trey: " Of course. And should it become necessary, we've also prepared the jam to spread on his nose."

Riddle: "Very good."

Grim: "Myah! Those are some fancy duds!"

Cater: " These are Heartslabyul dorm clothes. Aren't they fierce?
At the forefront of fashion, and they look great on Magicam."

Cater: "One of the Queen's rules mandates formal dress on party days.
As a show of kindness from a beloved mentor, I'll help coordinate your outfits."

Deuce: " Whoa!"

Ace: "Lookin' sharp!"

Grim: "Myah! So cool!"

Yuu : " Do you have dorm clothes too Evie?"

Evie : " Of course, each dorm has, it just varies with the dorm and their founder"

Cater: "Now, let's tear this party up! And don't forget to give Riddle the tart."

Riddle: "Before we begin the croquet tournament, let us make a toast. Does everyone have their teacup?
On this most significantly unauspicious of days, I bid all in attendance... a very merry unbirthday!"

Everyone: " To a very merry unbirthday!"

Cater: "Ace, this is your chance!"

Ace: "Right... Uh, housewarden, sir..."

Riddle: "Ah, it's you. The tart thief."

Ace: "Yeah, so, I wanted to apologize for eating that tart. We made you a new tart to replace it."

Riddle: "Hmm? And what kind of tart is it?"

Ace: " I'm so glad you asked! It's a chestnut tart, and I swear, we weren't stingy with the chestnuts."

Riddle: "A CHESTNUT tart?!"

Ace: "What?!"

Riddle: " The Queen of Hearts's rule 562:
"One must never bring a chestnut tart to an unbirthday tea party."
This is an utterly flagrant rule violation! Do you understand what you've done?!
You've ruined an otherwise perfect unbirthday!"

Deuce: " Rule 562...?!"

Evie : " seriously?"

Yuu : "You have all of these memorized?"
