   Welcome, fairy-tale friends to spring at Ever After High.

Where following their true hearts is the only thing on student's minds.

Royals with royals, and rebels with rebels...

Well, it may not be as straightforward as that. Look at Hunter and Ashlynn.

Hunter Huntsman and Ashlynn Ella were under a tree. Hunter then chopped some wood and made a table with it, putting some food after that. His action and suprise made Ashlynn smile.

Elise was by her locker, putting some stuff away, unbothered with some suitors following Apple with bouquets in their hands.

Dexter, who was looking for her, finally found her, while pulling out some roses. Which Cupid, daughter of Eros, thought it was for her and held her hands. Unfortunately, he walked passed her and went towards Elise.

Just as he was close to her, Lizzie Hearts blocked his way and cut the roses using her scissors. "Off with the buds."

Dexter slumped his shoulders and just walked to his locker. Cupid reached her hand out to grab his shoulder but was too late.

It seems the hearts and the destinies don't always move in the same direction...

Cupid was alone in the library, doodling on her notebook. "Cupid and Dexter Charming." She sighed when she finished the drawing of Dexter.

"Cupy, and Dexie!" She exclaimed, making the librarian groaned. As she doodle more on her notebook, Dexter then came to her table holding a bunch of books.

"Hey, Cupid!" He greeted, fixing his glasses. "Anyone, seating here?" He asked at her.

"Yes... I mean, no! No one is sitting there, and yes! You should sit there." Cupid nervously answered. "Thanks." The librarian then shushed him for being to loud.

"Shh! Quiet in the library!" The librarian scolded.

"The evil step-librarians are so wicked!" Cupid whispered to Dexter. "Yeah! Last week they made me re-catalogue the entire forbidden-books section." He told her, making her giggle. Once again, they were shushed by the librarians.

"Well, look what I found." Dexter held up a book. A book that tells about the history of True Hearts Day. Cupid gasped taking the book.

"The history of True Hearts Day?" She read happily. "Thanks, Dex! You are such a sweet—" The evil step-librarians then popped out behind them. "Shhh!"

Upon reading the book, Cupid immediately went to the headmaster's office, excited to tell him about what she read. The headmaster was busy playing with dolls when she reached his office.

"And so, each time a fairy tale—" The headmaster panicked and shoved the dolls back to the drawer when Cupid was by his table. "My dear, I am writing my speech—" Cupid once again cut him off.

"Love never waits!" She exclaimed.

"What are you going on about?" Headmaster Grimm was confused on what she's talking about. "True Hearts Day!" She said pointing the book.

"Where did you find that?" Just as he was about to grabbed it, Cupid was quick to snatched it away. "It talks about this totally hexcellent holiday that encourages everyone to follow their true heart's desire. But it hasn't been spellebrated in years." She explained, her tone dropping down at the end sentence.
