I'll be skipping Alistair's and Bunny's scenes, except for the introduction.

[TWO WEEKS LATER]

Springtime at Ever After High!

And Lizzie Hearts was looking for inspiration.

Oh, is that the book her mother, the Queen of Hearts, gave her? Is she gonna find-

Brooke! No spoilers. Narrators never give away the story

Listen to your father. Lizzie found the Well of Wonder

The source of all magic and inspiration at Ever After.

Is that the same well Briar threw the Storybook of Legends into? Are we going to Wonderland?

What did we just say?

That's not a spoiler, that was a recap.

She's right. When Brirar found the true Storybook of Legends, she threw it down the Well of Wonder, so she wouldn't have to sign it.

So she could write her own destiny, and not follow in her fairy tale paren't footsteps.

Little did she know that the book will end up in–

Wonderland!

Yes, Wonderland.

Oh, my Fairy Godmother! I can't beliehe we're actually here!

And the palace of the Queen of Hearts, separated from Ever After by an evil curse.

Alistair Wonderland, son of Alice, and Bunny Blanc, daughter of the White Rabbit, were held by some card guards. They were being taken to the Queen of Hearts.

"The baby bird flies. The snake, it slithers. But the cage holds both to die and to wither!" The Queen of Hearts said while sitting at her throne.

"What?" Alistair asked in confusion, meaning he didn't get what the queen is trying to say. The Queen of Hearts stood up, "This is your last warning. Next time my guards catch you exploring, it's off with your heads!" She yelled at their faces, her voice echoing.

One of the guards then came pushing a cart. The Queen excitedly turns her way to it, "Ooh! Afternoon tea! Would that be one lump or two?" She asked towards the two, who just looked at each other.

Now, isn't it time we check in on the school?

Oh, yes! That day Ever After High was holding a festival worthy of Wonderland.

The students were busy decorating the trees with ribbons, braiding some of them.

"This has got to be my favorite part of Spring Fairest... treefitti! Decorating the trees!" She accidentally bumped her back to Andy, who was also braiding some ribbons. They stared sheepishly at each other after that.

"Black and white to represent winter..." Apple moved the braided ribbon to her face, kind of like hugging it. "And a dash of floral color to show that spring has sprung." Maddie added, while hanging from a tree.

"Not even a month with our stay here, yet I'm already enjoying it!" Annie exclaimed to Elise, as they braided the last ribbons. "True, Mom and Aunt Anna would love to experience this!" The two then went towards the candy floss stand.

"And rolling!"

"Welcome friends to the Spring Fairest. Where you'll—" Blondie, who was reporting, was cut off by Ginger. "Oh, Blondie! Blondie!"
