Chapter 8

3rd Person POV

Dress Fitting. One of Skylor's least favourite moments. Currently, she, Nya, Seliel, Pixal and Harumi were all getting measured for their dresses, since Legacy Day was approaching

"A bit too tight!" Pixal gasped, and the pixies loosened the grip, and she sighed in relief.

"So...y'all got your speeches down for when you pledge your destiny?" Seliel spoke up, as she raised her arms. Skylor shrugged, "Can I just...run off last minute and hide out in the Enchanted Forest until Legacy Day's over?"

"No, they've got guards all over the place," Nya sighed, "I just hope something happens so we can take a raincheck...and then I won't have to sign-"

"Oh, please!" Harumi sneered, "You're only saying that because of Jay! If you two hadn't gotten back together, you'd be begging to sign that book!"

"Easy for you to say!" Skylor scoffed, adjusting the sleeves, "You just prance around on a lake!"

"Well at least you don't have to turn into a swan!" Harumi retorted.

"At least you don't have to sleep for a hundred years!" the redhead snapped back, "You get to stay in the real world and experience everything! Meanwhile I'm locked up in a tower asleep, and when I finally wake up, everyone I love will probably be dead-"

"Boo hoo! Spare me your sob story!"

That was it for Skylor. Immediately, she wriggled out of the fancy dress and slipped on her normal clothes, "I'm done here. I'll come back for fitting another time," she muttered, leaving the rest of the girls stunned. Nya glared at Harumi.

"What?" she snapped.

"Happy now? Look, I get that you don't like how your fairy tale ends, but it's how the shoe fits. Taking out your rage on others won't make a difference," Nya takes off her gown and changes back into her own clothes, "I'm out too,"

Slowly, Seliel and Pixal do the same thing, murmuring excuses and leaving Harumi on her own. The swan princess scoffs and let's the pixies continue with the fitting.

As Pixal went back to her dorm, a sudden movement flashed before her eyes. She gasped, as the scene started playing again:

A cloaked figure, sneaking into the Headmaster's office, and stealing the Storybook of Legends, replacing it with a fake. The setting moved to the same cloaked figure throwing the book down the Well of Wonder.

Pixal snapped herself back into reality, and took a sharp intake of breath, as she remembered the Magic 101 teacher's words in her head.

"Your power allows you to sense an issue occurring, if it has something to do with an upcoming event. That's how the fairy godmother senses Cinderella's troubles and helps her,"

The blonde suddenly realised what this meant; Legacy Day wasn't going to go as planned.

Nya smiled as she walked hand-in-hand with Jay. People stopped and stared at the couple. And for the first time, the two of them just didn't care.

"Hey, you two!" Kai approached them, grinning. He had a helmet tucked under his armpit, and girls were going crazy.

Jay grinned, "Hey!"

Kai had started to like Jay; him and his sister looked pretty damn good together! "Aren't you supposed to be at your fitting?" he asked Nya. She shrugged, "There was...a small fight, and it resulted in Skylor walking out, and then the rest of us following her..."

Kai sighed, "Harumi again?"

"Yep..."

"Hey, she got blessed with the worst ending there! But then again, it's not our fault,"

"That's pretty much what I said!"

Kai looked around, before turning to his sister, "You seen Lloyd anywhere?"

"Oh, his mom wanted to give him a pep talk."

"Ooh!" Jay piped up, "Speaking of which, I need to meet Cole. I'll find you later!" He bent down, capturing Nya's lips in a kiss. Smiling, he left the two siblings and jogged off to find Cole. Kai nudged her, "Things are getting serious, huh?"

Nya flushed bright red, "Shut up,"  Kai laughed, "Sis, it's my literal job to embarrass you and tease you about love! But seriously, what are you gonna do on Legacy Day?"

"I...maybe I can hide out, and someone can cover for me?"

"Hmm...well hopefully that person says yes! Anyways, I'm gonna ditch this in my locker. Talk to you later, baby sis!" he ruffled her hair and jogged off.

"...I was hoping you'd cover...oh never mind!" she gave up, after noticing he was out of sight.

"Dad, I...I was hoping you could approve of my relationship with Seliel- no...that won't work!" Groaning in frustration, he ripped out the page in his notebook, and threw it into the bin, before burying his head in his hands.

"H-Hey, roomie!"

"Whaddya want, Jay?"

Jay timidly shut the door behind him and approached the son of the Pied Piper, "How's the big speech going?"

Cole sighed, crumpling another sheet of paper, "Not good. How did you and Nya do it so...easy!"

Jay laughed as he took a seat beside his best friend, "It was anything but easy, trust me. You saw. Anyways, we just sorta...did it. People were shocked, and they still are, but...they're gonna have to deal with it!"

"Okay...any ideas on how to tell him?"

"Maybe just bring it up casually like..'Hey! So you've been snowboarding? Cool! I went last month with my girlfriend!' or something like that,"

"Okay...here, you be my dad, and I'll be...me." He placed his hands on Jay's shoulder and positioned him so that he was standing in front of him, "So, dad, I heard you're fond of piano! Well, I recently mastered it...and I've been giving my girlfriend lessons on it too!"

"Well, my boy, I'm glad to see the Piper Piano Love has caught up with you!" A booming voice came from the entrance of their dorm. An elderly man strutted in, beaming, "It's been a while, Cole!"

"Hey...dad!"

Snow White elegantly pushed away the plate of apple crumble, and stared intently at her son, who laughed nervously, "So...Mom!"

"Son, I'm very proud of your schoolwork. Your grades are through the roof!"

Lloyd was taken aback by this, "Oh, um...thanks-"

"I'm not done talking, dearie. Your school called. They informed me that...Morro Queen doesn't want to play his part?"

"Mom...I think that's his choice to make-"

"Oh, don't be like that, Lloyd! It's the family tradition, for us to be poisoned by the apple, before being brought back by our soulmates!"

"B-But Mom, Morro's our cousin. I don't want-"

"Sorry, sweetheart, but it's tradition. I want only the best for my son! So...I want you to give your roommate that little...nudge into the evil life."

"I...please, Mom, don't make me do this,"

"Chin up, apple cheeks. You want your happily ever after, correct?"

The prince stared at his mother, "Yes, but not with-"

"It's a simple answer, Lloyd. You said yes, so I'm assuming that's a yes?"

Lloyd sighed. Sometimes his mother was too...controlling. Nevertheless, he loved her, and wanted to make her and his dad proud.

"Yes..."

"Good! Oh, I just can't wait for your Legacy Day to come! I actually have a little mother-son bonding activity for us to do!" Lloyd watched as his mother grabbed a pen and a piece of paper.

"Let's list all the possible princesses that could wake you from your slumber! Okay...let's see...we have Sabrianne-"

"She's with Kai,"

"Okay...how about her cousin? Antonia Beauty?"

"Mom, I'm not turning into a beast!"

"Oh, right, our genes don't carry that. What about...Naveah? You two get along, you practically grew up together!"

Lloyd buried his face in his hands, wanting to leave, "She's with Jay, Mom!"

"Oh, you and your nicknames! Who's Jay?"

"Jeremiah Anthony Huntsman-"

"Oh my...she's in Royal trouble? Say, does her mother know about this?"

Lloyd paused. He had to say the right thing. If he said no, Nya would be in a lot of trouble. So... he nodded curtly. Snow gasped, "How is she alright with this?! It's not fairest! Anyways, she could still be a possibility! Next we have...Lloyd, this is a bonding activity, yet you're not contributing."

The blonde laughed nervously, "I'm just...forgetting everyone, I guess. You go on ahead,"

"Very well then. How about..."

Lloyd sighed. This was gonna be a long evening.

Okie! Season 13 tea!

Apparently Cole's mother's name is Lilly!

Also, the whole 'MoM' thing has nothing to do with season 13? I also saw these on Tumblr:

So...that's pretty cool! Also...Imma make a oneshot/short story book and dump all my short stories and stuff in there, so that's that-

See you in the next chapter!

Love, Ali 🥂
