Once Upon a Time: Ever After High (Book 10)

Ch.71 New Neverland

Random thought, if Ever After High comes back with a reboot on the cartoon and they change things like the reboot of Monster High, I swear I'm not gonna watch it. Now I'm crossing my fingers that it doesn't happen.

After the diner, everyone went to the science lab of Storybrooke High as everyone watched Piper and Tinkerbell make Blue Pixie Dust from the Never Diamond. They watched as the diamond was grinned up, heated, and with Tinkerbell's magic, it soon became blue dust as Piper poured the contents into a little glass container.

"Here you go" he offered with a smile "Blue Pixie Dust."

Everyone couldn't believe their eyes as they stared at the fairy dust that sparkled in the light.

"It's beautiful" Olivia gasped amazed.

"Be careful though-" Piper warned "You don't want it to fall into the wrong hands."

"Oh we know" Elena assured as she took the container "We'll keep it safe."

"I can't believe this" Mira smiled "We're one step closer to fully breaking the curse."

"But uh, how exactly are we going to break the curse once we have everything?" Aidan put in.

"I think Destiny will tell us soon" Elena replied as she examined the dust "No wonder this dust is so rare, it really is beautiful. Thank you Piper, and thanks Tink."

"Glad we can help" he smiled.

"Well then-" she smiled as she turned to everyone "That settles that, so you guys wanna like go to the movies-?"

But before she could continue, the door suddenly burst open as Chase ran in and while trying to catch his breath.

Oh my God Chase what happened?" Darling gasped when she saw his bloody nose.

"We got a problem-" he panted "Pan's back."

"What?!" they all gasped.

"Wait how is he back?" Olivia questioned confused "Didn't Piper trap him in Pandora's Box?"

"He swap bodies with Brenden" he panted "Brenden's in Pandora's Box, not Pan."

Everyone's jaw dropped and eyes widen.

"Are you serious?" Terrence gasped.

"Does it look like I'm serious?!" he exclaimed with frustration "I found out when I saw his reflection in the mirror, and when I confronted him about him, this happened. I managed to lock him in the storage room of the diner but I don't think it'll hold him long."

"Come on" Piper ordered as they all headed to the diner.

And when they walked inside, they saw the table knocked over along with some cups and chairs.

"Damn" Ilene said surprised as she turned to Chase "Pan really did tried to beat your ass."

They then entered the back room where they saw more stuff knocked over.

"Oh oh" Amanda pointed to the storage room that had been opened by force and the broom was broken in haft "Looks like Pan got out."

"Oh man" Lauren pouted "Now I gotta clean all this up."

"Any ideas on where he went?" Terrence questioned.

"Hard to tell" Piper sighed.

"Your apartment perhaps?" Christina guessed.

"I don't think so. I mean if I was an evil person, where would I go?"

"Well what I used to do-" Mira spoke up "And still do, I would go to my vault."

At that point her eyes widen with realization.

"Uh, you don't think he's going there right?" she questioned nervously.

"He could be" Elena breathed as she turned to the Wonderlandians "You guys get Brenden out of Pandora's Box, the rest of us will find Pan."

After giving the Wonderlandians Pandora's Box, everyone left the diner as Ilene gripped onto the box and opened it. And soon everyone watched as Pan, or Brenden in Pan's body pop out and onto the floor.

"Brenden?" Christina said.

"Oh good I don't have to convince you guys" he breathed in relief as they helped him up.

"How did this happen?" Lauren asked.

"I was in the room on Jane's ship-" he explained "And Pan tried to like take my shadow, and then he switched our minds before Piper trapped me in the box. Where is Pan by the way?"

"Everyone's looking for him right now" Amanda answered "But until we know what's up, we need to get you out of that body."

"How?"

"By going to the guy who knows everything, Gold."

Now in front of Mira's vault which outside appeared to be a mausoleum in the Storybrooke cemetery.

"Alright" Mira sighed "Let's see if that jackass is in here."

Elena turned to the Charmings "You guys stay out here in case you see him."

They nodded as everyone else entered the vault. Following Mira, everyone quietly walked down the stairs as Mira peeked from behind the wall and spotted Pan searching through her spell book.

"Do you see him?" Olivia whispered.

"Hell yeah I do" she whispered back "And I know the perfect way to stop him."

While he was distracted by the book, Mira quickly used her magic on him as he collapsed on the floor unconscious.

"Well that was easier than I thought" she smirked as they went up to him as she picked up her spell book.

"Yikes" Piper bit his lip when he noticed the black eye on Brenden's face "Looks like Chase hit him hard."

"Well he deserved it" Olivia put in.

"So why was he looking in your spell book?" Elena asked Mira.

"That's what I'm gonna find out" she declared as she opened the book to the mark page and read over it as her eyes widen "Holy mother of God."

"What?" everyone demanded.

"It's the spell" Mira breathed in shock.

"What spell?" Elena asked.

"The spell I used to cast this curse" she replied with guilt.

"You mean-" Elena's eyes widen "The curse on Ever After High?"

"Yeah" she sighed sadly.

"Wait a minute-" Olivia spoke up "Why would Pan be looking at the Storybrooke curse?"

"Beats me" Mira shrugged as she turned to Piper "Piper you got any ideas to why he would do it?"

"Well-" he replied a bit nervously "There is one possibility."

"What?"

"Since his plan of becoming all powerful through Wonder magic failed, there is another way to do the same thing, and that's to rule over another land."

"What do you mean by that?" Elena asked with a concerned look.

"If he's reading the old curse, that means he can cast another one on this town, he wants to make Storybrooke the new Neverland."
