ELISE SNOW, ever after high.

XV | WAY TOO WONDERLAND (PT. 1)

[TIME SKIP]

It's breakfast time in Ever After High and students were at the castleteria. As they eat their meal with some conversations here and there,  Apple stood at the balcony. "Hexcuse me!"

No one paid attention to her. What she did is she let out a loud whistle, making everyone flinch in surprise. Tiny dropped his pancake, while Dexter threw his cereal at Daring. 

"Excuse me, as editor of The Griffin, our beloved school paper, I am pleased to announce I am doing a special feature. And the theme is A Time of Wonder. It will feature stories about Wonderland and all the students from Wonderland who are here now." The students from Wonderland smiled at her idea.

"I think Apple's idea is awesome!" Faybelle exclaimed. "Thnaks, Faybelle. Wait, you- you do?" Apple stuttered in confusion.

Faybelle flew to the balcony and sat at the railing. "Sure.  'Cause it'll give you a chance to rehash how these Blunderland brats got stuck here in the first place - thanks to Raven's mom: the Evil Queen!" She took out her MirrorPad and played the Evil Queen's laughter, shocking everyone once again. 

"I cannot tell a like, that lady scares the shavings off of me." Cedar shuddered, who sat with Raven. "Hey, that's not fair! It's not my mom's fault that Wonderland is sealed off from Ever After! I mean, okay, maybe she poisoned Wonderland's magic, and sure, because of her Wonderland is even topsy-turvier than ever—and yeah, thanks to her the Queen of Hearts is a total wacko-screwball—" Lizzie sighed at Raven's insult to her mom.

"Hello? Raven just like, totally insulted your mom?" Faybelle said to Lizzie, who was looking at her locket with the Queen of Hearts in it.

"Sorry Lizzie... I was just trying to point out if you're gonna look for someone to blame, blame Headmaster Grimm!" The headmaster appeared behind Raven, who hadn't notice. " He's always like, "You must always follow your own stories", and "Let's trap the Evil Queen in a mirror forever"! Hah, am I right?" The rebels silently gave a signal to stop. "He's standing right behind me, isn't he?"

"Correct!" Raven flinched at the headmaster's voice. "And you may be seated." Raven nervously giggled, walking away.

"As for the rest of you, understand this: the Wonderland curse is dangerous! No one must be allowed to have contact with that world for any reason. It has been sealed off for your own good." Headmaster Grimm turned and started walking away. 

"Oh, oh-oh-oh! Headmaster Grimm, actually, as part of my article for The Griffin, I was hoping to ask you about the curse and when exactly it—" Apple quickly followed Headmaster Grimm, who stopped her from talking. "Enough. The worlds must remain separate and that is all you need to know." The bell rang after that. "Now off to your classes!"

"Hey, hey everybody!" Apple waved her hands around. "I'm looking for volunteers to help with the story; if you're interested, meet me in the Study Hall after class."

"Hey, Elise. Where were you? You just missed breakfast, and Apple's announcement." Dexter spotted Elise already at Professor Rumplestiltskin's class, reading a book. "Hm? Oh, hey Dex. I already ate a granola bar before leaving my dorm." Her eyes went back towards the book she was reading.

"Is there a test that I don't know of?" Elise chuckled at Dexter's question. "No, but you do know that Professor Rumple tends to do a lot of surprise quizzes. I was just rereading the chapters." 

"How many chapters exactly have you read already?" He raised a brow at his girlfriend. "Everything!" His jaw dropped at her answer.

"Hey, Elise." Raven waved to her. "Hey, Raven!"
