Aurora's parents knew that from the day she was born she was something special. Her eyes would shine bright whenever they watched the stars in the night sky and her hair would glow whenever she sang a special song that was once sung by her mother.

Aurora herself knew that she had a purpose to be born, especially with her attributes. Soft baby skin, sparkling green olive eyes and long luscious hair. It's quite a hassle on the wrong days but amazing help whenever she needs warmth from the cold winds blowing by in the kingdom.

Even if she read every fairytale story in the library, there was one she would always read with her parents. One where the princess shared the same attributes and likes as her.

A story called Rapunzel.

If her younger self was to hear of her adventure, she would laugh in her face and tell her that fairytales weren't true, even if her parents were part of it, but look at her now.

The school halls were so shiny, she could see her reflection everywhere like there were mirrors around her.

"This is the Groom Room. We'll be waiting for you." Beatrix giggled and waved after Aurora before walking away with the other girls.

Aurora looked around the Groom Room and decided to sit by the vanity, exhausted.

"Welcome, darling, to the Groom Room." An enthusiastic woman donned in golden fabric appeared in front of the girl, making her body twitch a bit in shock. "Oh, what luscious hair you have. Ooo, and those eyes." The woman giggled before clapping her hands twice. "My name is Professor Dovey and I'll be helping you however I can."

Racks of gowns in pastels came out from the walls with chests of jewelry for every garment and makeup appeared on the vanity top.

Aurora was turned in her chair, facing the professor fully and shrinking at her grin.

"Let's get started with your transformation."

In just minutes of going through different shades, they sought the perfect gown for the girl, did her makeup and made her long hair into a thick 4-strand braid that reached her thigh.

They were led in to an open area where there were two sets of seats on either side of the room. The school for good on the left, the school for evil on the right.

Aurora had been dragged into conversation with Beatrix and her friends while looking over the area. She saw the fairies pushing Agatha to a seat in front of them and cringed when she almost fell over, making her under skirts were show.

Trumpets bellowed, causing everyone and neveryone to find their seats and look to the front. (Get it? Because Evers and nevers- I. Thought it was funny, sorry)

"Welcome, first year students!" Dovey had a bright grin on her face. "I am Professor Dovey, Dean of the School for Good."

This caused the girls to chant.

"EVERS! EVERS! EVERS! EVERS!"

"And I'm Lady Lesso, Dean of the School for Evil." Lesso held out her hand in a nonchalant manner at the opposite, causing them to chant as well.

"KILL YOU! KILL YOU! KILL YOU! KILL YOU!"

Dovey tapped her scepter to get them to stop. "As per tradition, the winning school from last year....us again. Imagine that!"

"Hmmm. Imagine." Lesso hummed.

"...will grace us all with a display of their chivalrous talents." Dovey gestures down the aisle before cupping her mouth. "Gentlemen!" She tapped her scepter twice.

The men came marching two by two, (hurrah, hurrah) causing the Evers to cheer and the Nevers to boo.

They drew their swords and engaged in a playful sword fight before one of their sword was swiped sown the aisle by Agatha.

The boy the sword had belonged to picked it up with a sheepish smile at Agatha and Kiko before going back to the display.

The Everboys did a stand, pointing their swords forward, bringing out cheers and jeers.

Then they threw roses, Beatrix catching a small bouquet, making the girls laugh excitedly.

The one Kiko caught broke at the stem.

Then there was a loud whistle.

"If you boys are finished with dance class, maybe you'd like to have a real fight." Tedros stood with a rope in his hand connected to the ceiling. "What do you say?" He jumped off.

(Too lazy to write the whole drama)

Then Tedros threw his rose and it landed on Agatha.

Shoot.

Then Agatha embarrassed herself by misunderstanding the young lad's actions before she was struck to reality when Beatrix got the rose from her and motioned Tedros to sit between her and Aurora.

"Hello, I'm Tedros." He held out his hand in greeting. "Son of King Arthur."

"I'm Aurora." She held out her hand as well. "Daughter of Rapunzel."

Tedros kissed the back of her hand. "A fellow royal." He smiled, Aurora following confusedly.

"In these two schools, we will take away any confusion and make your souls as pure as possible." Dovey giggled. "Pure Good."

"Or pure Evil." Lady Lesso said wryly.

"Future heroes and villains, you have been chosen to protect and maintain the balance between Good and Evil." Dovey's statement caused many to get excited. "For if that balance is ever compromised-"

"I don't think we need to get into that just now with our new friends, do we?"

And then there came the school master in his robes, steps being as slow as a snail.

"It's such a happy new day. Let's not be downers, hm?" The school master began walking down the aisle.

Dovey was shocked of his appearance while Lesso only smiled.

"Besides, I'm sure this new class will perform exceptionally well." He looked at every student. "And like your parents before you, you are all here because the world of story needs great heroes and villains to teach the people of the outside world to make choices to find their way. So, obey the rules," he pointed at the nevers, "study hard," he pointed at the evers, "and remember, the Storian only chooses the very best of our students for their own adventure."

"But what if we've been dropped in the wrong school?" Sophie drawed attention to herself.

"Or there's been a mistake and we need to go home immediately?" Agatha was next.

"Therr are no mistakes in the School for Good and Evil." The school master calmed down the students. "So....have a nice semester." He walked out after doing a dramatic spin.

Later on

[Dovey on PA]"All students, report to your assigned sleeping quarters."

Suprisingly, Aurora got a room to herself, though she wasn't complaining. Gives her more room for her hair.

Speaking of....

Aurora took one of the rays of the sun necklace and turned it, making the magic spell wear off and show her real hair which was already past  floor's length. She walked over to the vanity and took up a brush, brushing over her strands of hair lightly as the small tune from her necklace played.

Flower, gleam and glow....
Let your power shine...
Make the clock reverse...
Bring back what once was mine...
What once was mine.....
