《Black Rose》

Story?

It's breakfast time in Ever After High, and all the students of the prestigious school were eating lunch.

[M/N] was sat with the two charming brothers since they became friends during the spring fair. The boy watched his sister out of the corner of his eye, knowing that she was feeling a bit down.

[M/N] felt a little nudge on his shoulder and turned to see Dexter quietly motioning to his food. He just sighed and ate the regular waffles.

A loud whistle echoed through the cafeteria.

Tiny the giant accidentally dropped his waffles, the food landing on the three Billy goats.

Dexter also got startled by the whistle and accidentally spilled his cereal on Daring.

"My hair!" Daring shouted in agony as he looked into his mirror and saw his appearance.

"Excuse me!" Apple shouted to the students in the cafeteria. "As editor of 'The Griffin', our beloved school paper, I am pleased to announce that I'm doing a special feature! The theme is," She did a dramatic pause. "A Time Of Wonder!"

"It will feature stories about Wonderland!"

This caught the students' attention, especially a charming daughter.

"And all the students from Wonderland who are here now."

Madeline, Alistair, and Bunny sat a table by themselves as they ate while listening to Apple.

"I think Apple's idea is awesome!" Faybelle appeared behind them with two blue pom poms in her hands.

"Thanks, Faybelle." Apple paused. "Wait, you-you do?"

"Sure, cause it'll give you a chance to rehash how these blundering brats got stuck here in the first place -" Faybelle sat on the railing in front of Apple.

"Thanks to Raven's mom: THE EVIL QUEEN!" Faybelle pulled out her tablet that played a recording of the evil queen's laugh.

Students gasped in fear as the recording played. The Billy goats hopped out of the large pancake and scurried away. Dexter, once again, got his food on Daring.

"Ah!" Daring exclaimed in horror. "Again?!"

[M/N] shook his head in amusement at the perfect moment. Two eggs replaced Daring's eyes and a bacon as a mustache.

[M/N] leaned over to the guy and took one of the eggs off with his teeth, not letting it go to waste.

Dexter watched with a small smile on his face as his brother blushed a bit from the (h/c) haired male's actions.

"I can't tell a lie." Cedar started out before shivering a bit. "That lady scares the shavings off me!"

Raven, who was sat across Cedar, looked over to the two females on the balcony. "Hey, that's not fair." She got up from her seat at the table.

Everyone's attenti9n was directed to the girl as she stood at the bottom of the stairs.

"It's not my mom's fault that Wonderland is sealed off from Ever After." Raven looked around as everyone was silent. "I mean, okay, maybe she poisoned Wonderland's magic...And, sure, because of her, Wonderland is more topsy-turvier than ever...."

As Raven tried to justify her mom but did so horribly bt naming out all her evil actions, the students in the cafeteria watched with wide eyes.

"And yeah, thanks to her The Queen of Hearts is a total wacko screwball." Raven made a small crazy motion with her hands near her face.

This caused the students to gasp loudly as she basically insulted the Queen.

"Oops." Raven recognized her mistake as everyone looked at the two children of the Queen.

Lizzie only sighed sadly as she looked down at a locket. The locket held a picture of the Queen of Hearts, star8ng deadly into the air.

[M/N] also sighed as he stared at the small ruby necklace that their mother gave them.

"Hello?" Faybelle sounded annoyingly as she hovered over the (h/c) boy before moving over to Lizzie. "Raven just, like, totally insulted your mom?"

"Sorry Lizzie, [M/N]." Raven apologized meekly. "I was just trying to point out that if you're gonna look for someone to blame, blame Headmaster Grimm!"

A man popped up behind Raven slightly but she didn't notice.

The rest of the students did and watched as she did a bad impersonation of the man who was standing beh8nd her.

Raven finally noticed the looks and chuckled nervously. "Heh, he's standing right behind me, isn't he?"

"Correct." Grimm eyed the girl as she nervously stood in fornt of him. "And you may be seated."

Raven quickly walked off back to her seat.

"As for the rest of you, understand this." Grimm began his speech. "The Wonderland curse is dangerous, no one must be allowed to have contact with that world for any reason, it has been sealed off for your own good!"

As Grimm began to walk off, Apple paused him in his tracks.

"Headmaster Grimm!" Apple called out to him, making her way down the flight of stairs to catch up to him. "Actually, as part of my article for the Gryphon, I was hoping to ask you about the curse am what exactly it-"

"Enough!" Grimm held up his hand to silence the girl. "The worlds must remain separate. And that is all you need to know."

The bell rang loudly in the cafeteria, making all the students look up.

"Now off to all your classes!" Grimm exited the cafeteria.

"Hey, everybody! I'mlooking for volunteers to help with the story!" Apple's voice was soft but loud as she made the announcement. "If you're interested, meet me I'm the study hall after class."

"What class do we have right now?" Dexter asked his brother and friend as they made their way to the exit.

"Rumpelstilitskin's Class." [M/n] answered with a small frown.

"The one I always ace because I got the face."  Daring winked info his hand mirror.

[M/n] confiscated the golden mirror with a simple. "No."
