Ever After Meets Wonderland!

Chapter 22: Rexter!

Dexter's POV:
        I just got out of my last class and went to my locker. I did my combination but it wouldn't open. I started tugging on it when I heard a pair of soft footsteps. "Do you need some help?" A familiar female voice asked. I turned around and saw Cupid. "Oh. Hey, Cupid." I greeted. "Hi, Dex!" Cupid greeted. "Do you need some help?" Cupid asked again. "Uh, yeah." I replied. Cupid grabbed her bow and arrow and I jumped. "Calm down." Cupid stated with a giggle. Cupid shot the lock on my locker and it opened. "Uh, thanks Cupid." I stated and she smiled. "No, uh, problem." Cupid stated. I opened my locker and put my books in.
     I closed my locker and turned around and jumped to find Cupid still there. "I didn't realize you were still here." I stated. "Yeah. I was thinking we could hang out." Cupid stated with hope in her eyes. "I was actually planning on asking for your help." I stated. "Really? With what?" Cupid asked. "I was planning on finally asking Raven out." I replied and her face fell. "Oh, uh. Y-yeah, I guess." Cupid replied and I smiled. "Sure." Cupid replied with a lot of disappointment. "Thanks. Cupid." I stated. "Yeah." Cupid stated with disappointment. "Are you okay?" I asked. "Yeah, yeah. I'm fine." Cupid replied and I smiled again. "When?" Cupid asked. "In an hour. I want to go get ready first. Meet me outside of the school in an hour." I explained. "Okay." Cupid agreed and we split up.

Cupid's POV:
      He's really going to ask Raven out and they'll be together, an official couple. It'll be hard to hide how I feel about him. Ugh! Then I'll be part of the reason why they're together. But they both really like each other and it'll make both of them really happy. So, I will. It's the best for them. I sighed. But.... Is it the best for me?

Dexter's POV:
       I'm with Cupid at the Hatter's Tea Shoppe talking. "So? How are we doing this?" Cupid asked. "I wanted to ask her on a date and on the date I was going to ask her if she wants to be my girlfriend." I stated. "That's so romantic!" Cupid exclaimed with a shy smile. "Thanks." I stated. "So? What do you need my help with?" Cupid asked. "I need help on what to say, what to do for the date, and if I should get her something." I replied. "First. You should get her flowers and chocolates. Maybe her favorite." Cupid stated. "Her favorite flowers are Lavender's and her favorite chocolates are dark chocolate." I replied. "Get her that!" Cupid exclaimed and I smiled. "Then you just need to be simple, and ask her on a date. Make it simple but the flowers and chocolates will be the romantic part. Just be straight with her, ask her on a picnic date and a walk on the forest. Then, for the picnic, get some of your favorite food and drinks and some of her favorite food and drinks. After the picnic you'll go on the walk in the enchanted forest. You'll be making small talk and then you stop her and look deep in her eyes. You grab her hands and tell her how you feel about her and then you ask her to be your friend." Cupid explained and I smiled. But then I frowned when a thought popped in my head. "What's wrong?" Cupid asked. "Oh, well. It's just, what if she doesn't like me back?" I asked her. "You don't have to worry about that." I stated. "How do you know?" I asked. "Just.... Trust me." Cupid stated and I smiled. "You do trust me, right?" Cupid asked. "Of course." I replied and she smiled too. "Thanks, Cupid." I stated and I walked off.

Raven's POV:
   I was in my dorm room. It's late and it's Friday. I had a few test in a few classes which stressed me out. It's 11:58 and Apple is asleep. I'm having trouble sleeping, though. I sighed as I closed my eyes. But then I jumped when my mirror phone rang. I looked at the caller ID and saw it was.... Dexter? I accepted the call as I sat up. "Hello?" I asked confused. "Look outside your window." Dexter stated. What did he just say? "Huh?" I asked as I stood up. "Look outside of your window." Dexter replied and then he hung up. I looked at my mirror phone and then I threw it on the bed. I walked to the window and opened it. I looked out and I saw Dexter with two things in his hands. But I can't tell what. "Dexter?" I asked in a whisper-yell tone. "Hey, come down!" Dexter yelled in a whisper-yell tone. I smiled at him. This is so not like him, but it's also romantic. So I left my dorm and snuck out.
   When I got out there I smiled at him who was smiling back. "What's this?" I asked. "These are for you." Dexter stated as he handed me the Lavender Flowers and the Dark Chocolates. I accepted them and smiled. "What are you doing?" I asked. "I was hoping, maybe, we could to on a date." Dexter suggested and my eyes widended. Did he just ask me out. "Y-yeah. I would love to!" I exclaimed and we both smiled. "When?" I asked. "Now." Dexter replied. "It's past curfew, though." I stated. "So?" Dexter asked with a smirk. I smirked too. "Rebel." I stated. "Maybe." Dexter stated with a smirk. For once, it's not super awkward between us, and I like it like this. It's way more comfortable this way.
        We went to the Enchanted Forest and sat on a blanket. He set out a picnic as I watched him with amazement. He had food and drunks that he likes, food and drinks that I like, and food and drinks that we both like. He looked up and we gazed into each others eyes. There was a moment of silence and I started the conversation. We talked and ate and drank and had a lot of fun.
     After the picnic we walked in the Enchanted Forest. I laughed at his joke and then he stopped me. He looked deep in my eyes and he took a deep breath. Then he held my hands and I was speechless. "Raven.... I think you're an amazing girl. Everyone says you're a bad person and evil, but you're not. You're one of the nicest and best people I met and I really like you. I don't care what people say or, or think. I-I like you. I-I. Oh, um. I-I like you m-more, m-more then a fri-friend." Dexter explained. I smiled. "Really?" I asked. "Y-yes. Or, um. M-maybe. De-depending, I-I guess." Dexter replied. I grabbed his shoulders and pulled him into a soft kiss on the lips and then I pulled away and let go of him. "Wh-what was that for?" Dexter asked. "I like you too and, and you don't have to be nervous. I don't want this, us, to be so awkward anymore." I stated. "Me too. I was wondering, um.... Would you like to be my girlfriend?" Dexter asked and I smiled. "I would love too!" I replied and we both smiled. We held hands as we walked back to school.
