At the other dimension, the carriage next to the gate of Old Corona as the horses stop galloping when the door opens revealing Rapunzel, her husband Eugene, and her best friend Cassandra, whom all got out of the carriage. Once they got out, they all saunter to the village as they all felt a sense of nostalgia while wandering the village.

"Man, it's been a long time since I've visit here." Cassandra admits.

"Right? This place is still peaceful as ever!" Rapunzel chirps with a grin and Pascal croaks with glee.

"Not wrong there. I'm wondering how that kid and his dad are doing these days ever since the Zhan Tiri incident? Hope they're doing good." Eugene assumes, but Rapunzel giggles and lightly judged her arm to his rib.

"I bet they're doing just fine Eugene." She reassures and Eugene grins softly.

"Well if it isn't Corona's crowned queen."

Soon the trio glance up to see Old Corona's leader as Rapunzel perks a bright smile.

"Quirin!" She chirps as she and her friends run to the elderly Quirin as the cheery queen hugs him before departing with a big smile.

"Hehehe. Nice to meet you again, your highness." He said as he turns to her husband.

"You too Eugene and...." Soon he widen his eyes to see Cassandra before he crept a warm smile.

"Welcome back, Cassandra. It's been awhile." Quirin greets her kindly with Cassandra grins sheepishly while stroking the back of her head.

"Heheh. It's nice to meet you too, Quirin. Is Varian around?" Cassandra ask curiously.

"He's-"

"Dad!"

Soon the trio peers behind Quirin as his son, Varian, sprints towards with his perky smile.

"Dad, I almost finished with-." His words soon cut off when he noticed Rapunzel and her friends and he perks a smile.

"Rapunzel! Cassie! Mr. Rider!!" Varian chirps as he hugs Rapunzel making her giggle.

"Hey Varian!!" Rapunzel grins as the energetic boy runs up to Eugene to give him a strong hug flinching him.

"Whoa there, buddy! Easy on the hugs!!" He winces as Varian releases him so he could breathe. Then he pulls Cassandra into a loving hug and glance up at his close friend.

"Welcome back, Cassie. I missed you." Varian expresses with a warm toothy grin. Touched, Cassandra grins back and reciprocates his embrace.

"Me too, Varian." She assures with a smile. As soon as they depart from embracing, Varian turns to Rapunzel.

"So how are things with the search? Did you found any clues about the two gems?" He ask curiously. Rapunzel, Eugene, and Cassandra each other awkward looks causing both Varian and his father to be puzzled.

"Ummm guys?" Varian utters.

"Is something the matter, Rapunzel?" Quirin ask curiously as the trio glance back at the father and son duo with serious expressions.

"We just came back from Lord Demanitus's place and we know exactly where the two gems are." Rapunzel said causing them to get baffled.

"Oh?" Quirin tilts his head and cross his arms with an intrigued look.

"Where are they?" Varian ask curiously as Rapunzel bits her lower lip with an awkward look.

"Well...this is going to be weird to explain, but-."

"They're in the other dimension." Cassandra directly told them cutting her off as Varian and Quirin are left speechless when they heard about the current location of the two gems.

"Another...dimension?" Quirin utters with his eyes widen.

"You're joking right?" Varian ask in disbelief.

"I joke you not." Eugene flatly reassures.

"Wait? How is it possible? The sundrop and Moonstone are send to into space-! Wait." Something clicked to Varian's mind when he turns his head to Rapunzel with a panicked look making the queen puzzled.

"Umm Varian?"

"Rapunzel, you send the two gems into space long time ago right? Do you think it's possible that you send it to another world?" He assumes causing the Queen to curl her brow.

"Sending to gems...?" Rapunzel baffles and Pascal scratches his head curing his brows.

"...To another world?" Cassandra ponders placing her hand under her chin tilting her head curiously.

"Um what? Why are you bringing this up?" Eugene ask looking confused.

"Don't be ridiculous, Varian! Of course it's not possible! The sundrop and the Moonstone vanished years ago!" Quirin retorts.

"I know dad, but I'm just making a theory! You send them to space, I know, but...Demanitus said the two gems are in another world. Do you remember how it got there?" Varian reminds her as Rapunzel stood there pondering about his theory.

"Two gems...into space?...Aah!" She soon let out a gasp as the realization hits her when a memory flashes back in her mind when she sends the two gems into space after Zhan Tiri's demise. After minutes of thinking, Rapunzel stood there froze and starts shivering.

"I...send them to the other world...." She stutters with her eyes widen.

"Wait what?" Eugene utters still looking puzzled.

"Eh?" Pascal croaks tilting his head looking baffled.

"Raps?..." Cassandra stares at her best friend with a worried look as she saw her clenching her fists.

"It makes sense why Demantius's machine says its in another dimension because it was me that sends them to another world! And now it's in the hands of a new user!!" Rapunzel shouts.

"What!?" Cassandra, Eugene, Varian, and Quirin shrieked and Pascal let's out a croak letting his jaw drop to her shoulder. Panicked, Rapunzel grabs Varian's shoulders and pull him closer.

"Varian! You are an expert of inventing things! Is there something you have that could have us transport to the other world?!" Rapunzel ask with an anxious expression freaking through boy out.

"Daah! I-It's just a thought that I came up, but-."

"Wait a minute blondie!" Eugene immediately pulls his wife away and hugs her close.

"You can't possibly think that's true!" Eugene assures.

"He's right, Raps. What if something like that isn't true?!" Cassandra exclaims, but Rapunzel shook her head and pulls away from her husband as she turns to him and Cassandra.

"No guys! Think about it! I send the sundrop and the Moonstone to space many years ago. What happens after it got send into space?" Rapunzel inquires. Eugene and Cassandra thought for a moment.

"If you send it to space...that means....ack!" Now then realization hits on Cassandra.

"Yeah...I feel you." Eugene agrees.

"But still! That monkey's machine said that the new user is possessing those two gems. How are we supposed to find her if we don't know how to get to another world?" Eugene ask looking conflicted.

"Most importantly, what would she need them for?" Cassandra added as she ponders about the user's intentions. Quirin looked a bit hesitant before he told them our their latest invention.

"Well...we do have one thing that could help with your problems." Quirin informs shocking the trio.

"Huh?" Cassandra and Eugene shrieks with Pascal croaks in joy.

"Really!?" Rapunzel perks with eyes beaming with hope.

"Yes, but it's not complete yet. However, I can show you the progress of out invention." Varian suggests.

"That would be amazing! Let's go!" Rapunzel chirps as she dashes off with a giggle and Pascal croaks with glee.

"Wha!? Hey, Raps! Wait up!" Cassandra shouts as she chases after her best friend.

"Blondie wait!" Eugene yelps as he chases after his wife and Cassandra with the father and son chuckling and smiled each other.

"She's perky as I remembered." Quirin said.

"But she's also a strong close friend of mine." Varian reassures with a smile as his father chuckles softly.

"You're right. Come on, let's show them around." He assures and Varian nods.

"Right." He replies as he and his father follow the trio into their village heading straight to their home.
————————

Back at the hall of Mirrors, Merlin and Vivien having a discussion with the Octavinelle boys with Glory, Grim, A-Deuce, and the Savanaclaw boys standing beside them.

"Now since you three already aware of what's going on with sundrop. I would advise you all to do the same thing as the other dorms are doing so no one would know our secret meeting." Merlin advises and the Azul place a hand to him.

"No worries, Merlin-sensei. I have no intention of doing so..." Azul reassures as he turns to Glory with a sincere smile and blue eyes gleam with warmth.

"After all, it's a dorm head's job to protect those who are need and I'm willing to protect my siren without relying on people's magic for my own advantage." He vows with a smiling genuinely at her with the ravenette reciprocating his smile. Vivien then lays her hand on to her chest smiling warmly at his vow.

"My...such a touching vow." She mutters smiling and adoring Azul and Glory's newfound bond.

Yup. It's official. Azul and Glory are now part of my ship list. Ohohoho~

Merlin thought while covering his smirk causing Vivien to sweatdrop when she notice his damn smug underneath his bushy white mustache.

Oh boy...The more men she attracts, the more zanier Merlin gets with his ship list.

Vivien thought with a wary look.

"Oya. Does that mean we became part of the family now?" Jade playfully ask with a smile.

"Haha! That means we get to see this again." Floyd chuckles.

"WE'RE ALL GOING TO SEE THIS AGAIN!!" Everyone shouts.

"Oh oh oh. Indeed you are." Merlin chuckles with a hearty smile.

"Speaking of which. How on earth did gain this rare power that you did back at the VIP room and earlier ago?" Azul ask curiously.

"Most importantly, where did you learn how to heal people with your song?" Jade chimes.

"Ummm long story short...." Glory said.

Two minutes of explanations later....

"What!? You've found the Moonstone Opal at the Coral Sea?" Azul shrieks.

"Yes. It was nearby the rocks when my left hand was glowing." Glory explains.

"And you found the sundrop flower at the abandoned house while you and your friends were traveling to the Dwarf's mines to get the crystals for Crowley?" Jade ask curiously with his eyes widen in shock.

"Yeah. That's how it happened." Glory replies.

"Ehehe~. Lionfish is full of surprises. First, you found the sundrop flower at the abandoned house. Second, you've suddenly became Twisted Wonderland's future Queen. Then, you found the Moonstone Opal at the Coral Sea. And with those two gems together, you have the ability to use the ultimate power with two gems together. Finally, you have a cute unique magic that involves kissing them before you sang the song. That's so cool!" Floyd praises with a toothy grin.

"Indeed Floyd. I'm quite impressive with the work that you've put in. It's no surprise why you're Twisted Wonderland's future Queen. You're like a goddess." Jade compliments.

"And you did that all by yourself, color me impress." Azul praises with a smirk.

"Except she didn't want to be queen to begin with." Leona points out.

"Eh?" The Octavinelle boys looked confused.

"He's right." Glory said as pulls out the dagger from her backpack when her left hand glows yellow transforming the dagger into the legendary Excalibur. This shocks the boys completely.

"This what made me queen in the future. It's called the Excalibur. Formerly wielded by Avalon's greatest ruler, King Arthur himself. He used this sword to defeat the wicked warlock, Mordred." Glory explains the Octavinelle boys take a good look at her sword.

"Unbelievable...." Azul mutters with a mixed of shock and admiration.

"Wow! So shiny!" Floyd glees with eyes gleaming in awe.

"My my, what an intriguing weapon." Jade compliments admiring the sword with a grin.

"Thanks, but the Excalibur doesn't look like this. Vivien infuse the essence from the Excalibur by dipping my dagger into the water and that's how it came like this." Glory explains.

"Wow..." The Octavinelle boys awed and she grins at their fascinated reactions.

"According to legends, those who wields this sword not only declare the one true ruler, but also unbeatable as long as the wielder's heart was pure." Glory informs.

"Aah like you for example?" Jade assumes and she nods.

"Right. Though I'm still trying to get use to this whole 'future queen' of twisted wonderland, but I'm willing to not rush things and focus on my training." Glory explains with an awkward grin.

"So you were chosen as future queen?" Jade guesses as Glory averts her eyes sheepishly.

"Yeah..." She replies with a uneasy tone, but Deuce pats her back with a reassuring smile.

"Don't worry about the future Glory-san. You still have time to hang out with us and train harder then before." Deuce comforts.

"Yeah. You'll pull through cuz we're always going to be with you." Ace reassures with a grin.

"Hehehe. Thanks guys." She chuckles softly.

"Aah, you endured so much misfortune during your time here haven't you? You have my sympathies, Glofish." Azul reassures feeling bad for her misfortune.

"Agreed. Being ruler must be rough. Especially when you're going to become one in the future." Jade informs.

"Poor Lionfish! You must be enduring this a lot!" Floyd cried as he hugs Glory.

"Can't say 'I don't agree with you'. Cuz no joke, it sounds like a pain in the ass when you think about it." Ruggie said.

"Yup. It sucks to be stuck in a role that you don't wanna do." Jack agrees.

"True. Besides, how do humans manage to take on the roles as rulers? I just don't get it." Grim snarks while clinging on to Glory's shoulders. The lion scoffs at Grim's complaints.

"Tch. Nobody wants be ruler if they are chosen to be one." Leona bluntly points out feeling no stranger when it comes to ruler since he grew up in a royal family as the 'black sheep' back in his hometown. Glory sighs understanding where they coming from.

"It's a hassle, I know...."

Soon her sword disapates reverting back to its dagger form as Glory puts her dagger in her backpack.

"But I rather not worry about it too much. Cuz right now, I'm focusing on studies here in Night Raven College, my training with Merlin, and most importantly spending time with my friends." She informs as Ace, Deuce, Grim, and Jack smiled fondly at her with Glory forming a warm grin.

"Those are the two things I need to focus on before I think about what to do in the future." She said as she lets out a soft giggle and smiles brightly.

"Cuz right now I'm in the present, so I don't have to rush things out of the blue. Besides, I still have time to hang out with you guys while focusing on school." Glory reassures.

"That seems fair enough." Jade said with a smile.

"Duh. You're still young Lionfish, so let's take a down a notch, ok? That way, I could give you many hugs!" Floyd chirps while nuzzling his head against her shoulder letting out his dorky laugh making Glory sweatdrop with an awkward grin.

"As long as you don't squeeze me, we're good." She said.

"Hmm I don't make promises.~" Floyd coos playfully.

Oh Jesus....

Glory thought feeling scared from Floyd already until Merlin let's out a cough.

"Correct you are, Sundrop. You were placed in a inconvenient situation thanks to Vivien here." Merlin points out glancing at the lake goddess.

"Which I apologize for that, but I have a reason to do so." Vivien reassures.

"And I'm aware of that Vivi." Glory assures as she glance at Leona.

"Cuz I have to do something to get that cranky lion back to the light." She said as Leona averts his eyes with a blush remembering how she saved from his overblot state back in the arena.

"Regardless, you still need to train and focus on your studies." He reminds her as he pats her head.

"For now, I would like for you to go back to Savanaclaw and pack your stuff." Merlin instructs as he lets out a chuckle and grins.

"Cuz you young lady and Grim, got your dorm back." Merlin said.

"Hell yeah! We definitely beat Azul for sure!!" Grim chirps.

"Damn right! Your plan was awesome Glor!" Ace compliments.

"Agreed. That was a well-thought plan you came up." Deuce praises with a warm smile.

"I have to say Wildcat, that was pretty impressive." Jack praises with a genuine smile. Glory giggles.

"Thanks, but Leona and Ruggie were also involved in this so you gotta give them credit too." Glory reassures glancing at Leona whom turns away with a huff.

"Don't get wrong! ...I only done that, so I get you guys to get out of my room." Leona denies while blushing, but Glory wasn't fazed and rolls her eyes.

"Sure Leona." Glory sarcastically replies with a smirk.

"Shishishi! You're so easy to read ya know! Come on, out with it. Admit that you love her." Ruggie assures with a smirk.

"I don't wanna hear that from someone who has feelings for Lioness." Leona bluntly retorts making the hyena flinch and became awkward when this was brought up.

"Uhhh..."

"Umm guys-." Jack was about to call them out, but Grim made it worst when said this.

"Oh yeah, Ruggie's face was beet red after Glory kissed him on the forehead. Ack!" Grim gasps and smacks his mouth when he accidentally lets his tongue slip out causing everyone to be shock by the revelation and Glory face palms.

Goddamnit Grim.

Glory thought while face palming at the grey gremlin.

"You did what?" Leona glance at Glory with a frown as she turns to the jealous lion with a blush.

"Ruggie was exhausted from doing chores...so I perform the same healing technique on him." Glory explains while blushing.

"Eeh!? You kissed Leona on the forehead too!?" Ruggie shrieks with his ears perk up.

"Oh oh oh. Looks like my healing technique is starting to rub off on you.~" Merlin teases with a smirk underneath his bushy mustache, but this doesn't help her case at all as Glory covers her flushed face with her hands.

"You're not helping Merlin." She mumbles while heating up.

"Merlin, you do not get to say anything." Vivien dryly instructs with a blank look.

"Does your magic always involved with kissing?" Jack ask curiously.

"Not always...But that's what Merlin taught me during our first training together..." Glory mutters while heating up.

"Eeeh!?" Ace, Deuce, Jack, and Grim shrilled with shocked filled looks.

"Oya. That explains where she receives her sneaky and unpredictable nature then." Jade understands with a grin and his eyes gleam with sheer amusement.

"WAIT! HOLD THE PHONE!! THAT'S WHAT YOU TAUGHT HER!?" Ruggie barks with a flushed look.

"You taught her to kiss me!?" Azul shrieks with a shock and fluster expression.

"The 'Mental Healing' technique and the unique magic, yes." Merlin informs casually.

"Oh...Oh my...." Azul utters as he covers his mouth with his entire face blushed beet red once again. Floyd then burst out of laughter when he sees his flustered reaction.

"Ehehehehehe~! He's red again! You're really are a frisky siren, Lionfish!!" Floyd cackles.

"Why am I not surprised that you would do something like this?" Leona grumbles while pinching his forehead.

"The name says it in the title people, come on!" Ace rants.

"Even the 'Kiss' part gives it away..." Deuce mutters.

"You people sure are rowdy."

Soon everyone turns to see Riddle, Trey, and Cater standing before them.

"Oh, Hi Riddle!" Glory chirps with a bright smile.

"Dorm head, Riddle!" Deuce shouts.

"Dorm head! W-When did you get here!?" Ace shrieks.

"I just arrived from my dorm along with Cater and Trey." Riddle explains.

"Eh? Vivi-chan? You're here again?" Cater ask as Vivien smiles warmly at him.

"Hello again, Diamond child." She greets him.

"I'm not a child, but out of curiosity. What's going on here?" Caster ask curiously.

"Yeah, everyone is crowded near the Octavinelle mirror. Did something happened, Merlin-sensei?" Trey ask curiously.

"Aah Rosehearts, Diamond, and Clover. Perfect timing. I was explaining Azul and the Leech twins about our secret meeting so you don't have to worry about them since those three aren't a threat no more." Merlin reassures.

"So it appears that you lost then." Riddle assumes as he turns his head to Azul whom he flinch but forms his charismatic smile.

"Why hello, Riddle. What a coincidence to meet here at the hall of mirrors." Azul assures while trying to act cool, but neither Riddle or his friends bought his suave gentleman act.

"Real classic, Azul, but we all know what happened between you and Rabbit." Riddle retorts as he forms a smirk and folds his arms.

"I told you not to underestimate her. She's a force to be reckon with, remember that?" He reminds him as Azul let's out a sigh.

"Yes and I deeply regret for my actions towards her and her friends. For now, I'm going to build my goals without relying on other people's magic." Azul reassures.

"I can't even tell if he's telling the truth or not..." Grim mutters.

"Beats me." Jack snarks, but Glory let's out a giggle.

"He'll never learn when to give up on his fascade." Leona said.

"He will guys, I'm positive." She reassures making the two sigh in skepticism.

"So does that mean Azul and the twins are keeping a secret from the other students?" Trey ask curiously.

"Indeed, Clover child." Vivien replies.

"And they're going to do the same thing as you guys are doing." Merlin informs.

"Let me guess, you used your unique magic on Azul right?" Cater guesses.

"Except I perform the hurt incantation on him to weaken him before I sang the healing incantation." Glory explains.

"Whoa really!?" Trey ask with a shock.

"Yeah but not too much, but...*sighs* thank god, I didn't overdo it." Glory sighs in relief.

"At least it's your best effort of trying to maintain control." Grim reassures.

"Yeah, but I'm glad that I brought him back to normal." Glory said with a grin.

"Speaking of which...."

Floyd soon wraps his arms around Glory freaking her out along with the boys as the eel forms a toothy grin.

"Can I have a kiss too, Lionfish?~" Floyd pleads with a perky smile shocking and outraging the boys.

"Umm..." Glory gingerly shoves Floyd away from her.

"..Yeah no." Glory declines.

"Eeeh come oooon~ You've kissed Azul, Leona, and Ruggie. Why can't I have a kiss?" Floyd whines.

"You've what!?" Riddle shrieks when he heard about this. Soon Leona pushes Floyd out of the way and gets in front of her.

"Oi have you heard of personal space?" Leona ask frowning at him.

"He's right, Floyd. You shouldn't be getting into people's personal space like that." Jade calmly reassures.

"Eeeeh come on, I just wanna join on the action too.~" Floyd coos with a pout as Glory let's out an awkward chortle.

"Heheheh. Long story short Riddle, I did a healing technique called 'Mental Healing' where I would kiss them on their foreheads to have them relieved from stress or any type of distress. Though it only last for a few minutes. That's what Merlin said to me during our first time training together." Glory explains sheepishly shocking Riddle as he turns to Merlin.

"You also taught her that too, Merlin!?" Riddle shouts with a dumbfounded look.

"Only occasional times, yes." Merlin nonchalantly informs.

"Wow..." Trey gasps with awe.

"Damn. How many guys do you have to kiss Angel-chan?" Cater ask curiously with a teasing smile.

"Pfft and that was Azul's kiss." Floyd snickers.

"Hey! Don't tell them that!!" Azul scolds with a glare while blushing.

"Hahaha! Damn Glor! How many first kisses are you going to steal?" Ace ask with a smirk.

"More importantly, who are you going to kiss next?" Ruggie ask with a cheeky smile causing Glory to blush and covers her face out of embarrassment.

"Can we not find out about who am I going to kiss next? Cuz I don't wanna find out who, ok?" Glory retorts while heating up. However, both Merlin and Vivien smirked slyly at her.

"Oh but you do, Sundrop." Merlin assures.

"And you will kiss someone in the near future my dear Moonchild. And that someone happens to be in the desert~." Vivien slyly implies with a slick smirk and that crosses the line for Glory as she made a deadpan look.

"Nope. That's it. We're done here. I am going back to the savanaclaw dorm to get my stuff because I am DONE talking about this. Come on Grim!" Glory chirps as she lifts Grim up to the ground and holds him against her chest.

"See you guys." She said as she marches to the mirror leading to Savanaclaw dorm shocking the boys.

"Eeh? You can't leave now! I haven't received my kiss yet!" Floyd coos as he follows her.

"Oi! What did I just say?" Leona reminds him as he runs after Floyd.

"Ack! Leona wait!" Ruggie shouts as he runs after his dorm leader.

"Gah! Ruggie senpai! Leona senpai, wait up! Don't run in the halls!!" Jack barks as he follows after his seniors.

"You will not touch her, Floyd!!" Riddle shouts as he follows Leona to chase after Floyd.

"Ack! Riddle-kun, hold up!" Cater shouts.

"Riddle you have classwork to do!" Trey assures, but Riddle won't listen and kept his feet up high.

"Rule #256 said that 'one must focus on your schoolwork everyday', but now change of plans. I won't tolerate any indecent behavior and I will not allow that nuisance to touch Rabbit and gets away with it!!" Riddle exclaims as he proceeds follow Leona to chase after Floyd.

"Lionfish come on~ Give me a kiss before you go!" He pleads while chasing after her.

"Leave us alone weirdo!" Grim hisses with an irked look.

"Floyd come on, I'm having a rough day today! I just need to pack my stuff!" Glory shouts.

"Then why not come over here so I can squeeze you tight!" Floyd suggests.

"Uh yeah no can do!" Glory declines as he picks up the pace.

"Come onnn please?!!!~" Floyd whines while chasing her like a clingy eel.

"Floyd! Stop bothering her!" Azul scolds.

"He's right. She needs to get her stuff so please don't follow her!!" Jade advises as both Azul and Jade ran after the group to stop the unpredictable Floyd from chasing after Glory. Leaving Ace, Deuce, Merlin, and Vivien to sweatdrop at their little chase.

"I knew something like this would happened..." Vivien mutters with a blank look.

"Same here, but...." Merlin crept a giddy smile.

"This is just the beginning of the picture perfect family!" Merlin glees making her sigh and shakes her head.

"Why did I even bother thinking about you saying this?" She mumbles.

"This family's messed up." Ace bluntly remarks with a sweatdrop.

"Can't help but agree...and this is going to be one dysfunctional family as time goes by." Deuce points out.

"....Indeed." They all agreed as they watched the boys chased after Glory and Grim.

"Floyd come on, I just healed Azul from his overblotted state. Just let me grab my things from Savanaclaw!" Glory pleads.

"Then let me come with you and after that, you can give me a kiss and I will give you a hug!" He chirps.

"Floyd!!" Glory shrieks while fleeing away.

"Lionfish!!!" He yells while smiling happily.

"WILL YOU QUIT FOLLOWING US DAMNIT!?" Grim shouts getting really annoyed with Floyd chasing after them.
———————

Later at Old Corona, the trio arrived at Varian and Quirin's house where they roam around Varian's lab where they felt a sense of nostalgia here especially Rapunzel. She remembered arriving here for the first time and her first encounter with Varian. It gave her butterflies when gazing at his lab again. It brings her a smile to her face.

"It's been a long time since I visited your lab..." Cassandra mutters while looking around feeling deja vu.

"Eh. It's still messy as always, but I'm happy to see you again." Varian said.

"It takes you back in your younger years hasn't Cassandra?" Quirin ask with a huge grin and she chuckles.

"Big time." She replies.

"So what did you guys invent recently?" Eugene ask curiously as Varian chuckles.

"Oh you'll see, Mr. Rider." Varian reassures.

"It's Eugene. Not Rider." Eugene reminds him as the young man chortles.

"Hehehe. Im kidding. I know that you're no longer the legendary thief known as Flynn Rider. Past is in the past after all." He assures. As soon as they get to their latest invention. Varian and Quirin walks straight to their machine that is covered in a white sheet where Varian forms a perky grin.

"Okay, so guess what dad and I built two days ago." He said as Varian and his father swipe the sheet where the trio widen their eyes to see an almost built tunnel.

"I call this the dimensional portal." Varian said.

"You created a time traveling portal?" Eugene ask with a look of disbelief.

"Funny thing is that my son wanted test a theory if it's possible that a person could transport to another world from another. So...I thought about it and I decide, 'eh' why not? So we built a portal machine that travels different dimensions." Quirin informs.

"You used to be so cautious with your son's invention. What made you changed your mind?" Cassandra ask curiously as the elderly man chuckles.

"I was. I was wary of my son's dangerous inventions at first, but..." He then turns to his son with a warm smile.

"Now I support him and his passion. Even though there is a time that I get cautious, but I trust my son enough to figure out the inventions and I will everything I can to help him while helping my people in the village." Quirin explains with a grin as Varian smiled warmly at his father. This made Cassandra grin a bit.

"Your relationship seems stronger than ever." Cassandra compliments.

"Stronger than before you mean." Varian points out.

"And I'm always a proud father ever since." Quirin assures while smiling at his son as he pats his head making him chuckle. Cassandra glance down at the floor as she felt a bitter sting in her chest a bit when she sees their father and son relationship.

"That's...good to know." She mutters with a sad undertone as she reminisces her childhood where she remembered being abandoned by her mother when she was a child. But that was before she finds out about it and turned against her best friend while not realizing that she's been brainwashed by Zhan Tiri. However, she managed to pull back the pieces of her self worth and now she's much more of a stronger woman than before and she's glad to learn her experience.

On the other hand, the ecstatic Queen roams around the soon-to-be finished portal with green eyes beaming with awe.

"Wow...This is amazing you guys! Now we could totally find the new user!" Rapinzel chirps as Pascal hops off from her shoulder to gaze at the portal with an awed look.

"Yes, but it still need a few adjustments before it's done." Varian informs.

"Then we'll wait until it's done how long?" Rapunzel ask curiously.

"About a few days." Varian told her.

"And you sure this is going to work?" Eugene ask curiously as the young inventor smiles warmly at him.

"I'm positive." Varian reassures.

"Then it's settled. Tomorrow we'll wait and prepare to pack our stuff. Then the day after, it's off to the another dimension!" Rapunzel instructs with a determined smile as Eugene and Cassandra nod with a smile with Pascal croaking in glee.

"Varian, thank you for everything you've done for us. Be sure to take breaks while you're finishing up the portal." Rapunzel reassures.

"Heh. Sure thing, your majesty." He complies with a small grin. Rapunzel then turns back to her friends with a smile.

"Let's go!" Rapunzel perks as she skips her way out with Eugene waving his hand at them.

"Welp thanks for showing us your portal thingy but we better get going. See ya." Eugene said as he runs off to catch up with his wife. Cassandra then walks over to give Varian a hug.

"I know we just reunited, but...I'm glad to see you again Varian." Cassandra expresses with a warm smile and Varian hugs her back.

"You'll always be my close friend, Cassie. Thanks for stopping by." Varian thank her with a toothy grin. As they both depart ways, Cassandra waves with a smile.

"See you next time, Varian." Cassandra said as she turns her heels and runs after her close friends. Once they left, Quirin wraps his arm around Varian.

"Well son, time for work." Quirin reassures and he nods.

"Yeah." Varian replies as both he and Varian walk back to their station and began working on their portal machine.
—————————

Meanwhile at the Savanaclaw dorm, Glory already packed her stuff in her suitcase. Things have also gone good with her and the Octavinelle boys as the trio exchange numbers igniting their bond. Right after they done packing, Glory turns to the grey gremlin.

"You got everything Grim?" Glory ask curiously.

"Yup. All set." He replies and she grins.

"Good. Let's move." Glory said as she extends her arm to him as Grim climbs up to her shoulder and the ravenette stands up. But soon the door opens to reveal Leona.

"Hey Leona." Glory sheepishly greets him.

"Guess you're leaving huh?" Leona ask curiously and she smiled coyly.

"I am." Glory replies.

"Mmm..." Leona then walk pass Glory as she and Grim turn to Leona where they witnessed him kneeling down and rummage something underneath his bed until he pull something out. He then stands up and spun around to give her a small handmade African basket.

***This was one of Sydballet99 's recommendation when she made a list of the things she wants me to draw. She either wants me to do an African bowl or basket. So I choose to draw a basket for my follower. Sydballet99 If you're reading this chapter, your request has answered. I hope you enjoy the drawing that I drew for you.***

"Eh? A bowl?" Grim tilts his head looking puzzled as the lion lets out a sigh.

"No, it's not. It's one of the baskets that Cheka send me after the Magift tournament." Leona told him. Fascinated, Glory took the bowl out of his hand and gazes at it letting her gloss over the texture of the basket. She crept a grin when feeling the smooth texture of the hay as well as the decoration of the inside from the basket. Glory then glance up at Leona with a smile.

"This is lovely Leona. It looks so tribal that gives off a savanna-like vibes from this. I love it!" Glory compliments with a grin. A blush crept from his cheeks and averts his eyes.

"It's...just a basket. I only gave it to you cuz my nephew send me three but I don't have enough room since my room is packed." Leona explains. Flattered with his gift, Glory walks up to him and gives him a hug shocking the lion as he turns his head to see her letting go of him.

"Thanks Leona. This is really sweet." Glory said with a coy smile. Leona turns red and cross his arms.

"...Whatever. Just get out of here." Leona bluntly said as Glory rolls her eyes with a smile.

"Kay Leona. Tell Cheka that I said 'hi'." Glory said as he nods. As soon as she was about to leave, Leona mumbles about something.

"Wish you could stay longer." He mutters. She soon stops and spun her head with a puzzled look.

"What was that?" Glory ask curiously making him widen his eyes and turn away.

"Um nothing." He denies, but Glory can tell he's lying by the way he's turning his head away for him, but decides not to nosy and smiles gently at him.

"See ya." Glory said as she closes the door leaving Leona all alone in his room. Right after she left, Leona thought about Glory planting a kiss on his forehead this morning before he lets out a sigh.

"...I'm going to bed." He mumbles as he flops down to his bed and shuts his eyes falling asleep.

Later at the halls, Grim looks back at Leona's room with a wary look.

"Jeez, Leona said something weird back there. Did you hear?" Grim whispers as Glory giggles softly.

"Oh I did, Grim. He's definitely a big softie under that his mane." She reassures with a smile.

"Wildcat."

"Hm?"

Glory turns her heels to see Jack running towards her in the halls.

"Oh, hi Jack." She greets him kindly. Jack soon notice the basket she's holding.

"Eh? Why are you holding a basket?" He ask curiously.

"Leona gave it to me earlier ago. He said Cheka gave him three baskets after the Magift tournament, so he gave me one so he could have more space in his room." Glory explains.

"Oh right..." Jack understood as Glory watches the tall wolf scratching his head with a tint blush crept from his cheeks before staring back at her.

"Listen...I know you're leaving and all, but...I was wondering if you would like to come to the Track and Field club next week. I saw your speed before during our last spar together at the courtyard weeks ago before the magift tournament and I know you're in the photography club, but maybe if you come...we could jog together?" He shyly asks while blushing.

"...I heard Deuce is there so..." Jack mumbles feeling awkward as his ears droop down in timidity, but Glory let's out a soft giggle and grins gently at him.

"Of course I would Jack. That would be awesome." Glory complies with a grin.

"Eeh?" Grim utters with a baffled look and Jack's ears soon perk up upwards.

"R-Really?" Jack ask with an ecstatic tone as his tail swings back and forth like a puppy. Glory giggles noticing his tail wagging and nods at him.

"Sure. After all, I am a track runner back in my world and it'll be great for my training so you have my word, Jack." Glory assures with a grin. This made his heart skip a beat as he nods at her with a light blush on his cheeks.

"...Great." He said trying to act tough, but deep down he's actually happy that she accepts. Glory grins brightly and giggles.

"Cool. See you tomorrow Jack." She said as Glory turns her heels and strolls down the halls carrying her suitcase. Once she left, Jack crept a small smile feeling butterflies fluttering around his stomach. But as soon as he turns around, Jack flinch when he saw Ruggie standing behind him with a frown.

"Gah! Ruggie-senpai?!" He shrieks.

"You asked her on a date?" He grumbles with his arms crossed. Jack recoils and shook his head.

"N-No! It's nothing like that. I only ask her because I find this club fitting for her since she's a fast runner and all." Jack reassures, but Ruggie scoffs at his explanation and rolls his eyes.

"Sure it is." He retorts as he turns around and walks off with a foul look.

"Eh? Ruggie-senpai?" Jack calls him out, but the hyena ignores him as he kept stomping through the halls leaving him puzzled at first, but sniffs his scent and immediately picks up his jealousy.

"...So that's how it is huh, Ruggie senpai?" He mutters staring at him intently.

From the far end, Ruggie is stomping through the halls with a scowl on his face.

"Tch. Jack thinks he could just ask her out huh? Damn that wolf." He grumbles but stops to realize what he's saying and let's out a sigh.

"Damnit...this sucks..." Ruggie mumbles furrowing his brows when he ponders about Glory for a moment when she carried him back at the arena, healing his wound at the infirmary, and kissing his forehead with her mental healing technique. However, he quickly shook his head and lays his hand on his forehead pinching his temple.

"What are you doing to me, Kitten?..." He mutters looking conflicted, but soon an idea popped from his head and snaps his finger.

"I got an idea..." Ruggie mutters as he crept a cheeky smirk where he starts strolling through the halls pondering about his plan.

Meanwhile at the hall of mirrors, Glory and Grim transported out from the Savanaclaw's mirror where she lets out a sigh and smiled warmly.

"Can't wait to see the ghosts again. It's been awhile since I'd saw them." Glory said.

"Yeah. It's been three days, but thank god three days are over cuz WE GOT OUR DORM BACK! Woohoo!" Grim cheers pumping his fist up in the air. Glory giggles and smiles at his cute cheeriness.

"It's good to have our dorm back." She remarks.

"Indeed my child." She agrees.

"Hm? Vivien?" Glory utters as Grim glance to see the lake goddess sauntering to her.

"Were you waiting for me?" Glory ask curiously.

"Yes and it's quite urgent Moonchild." Vivien informs as she lays her hands on her shoulders.

"You'd brought Octopus King back to the light, but you'll be facing bigger adversaries than before. You've seen the dorm leaders overblot with negative energy, but the next one will be much worse. Because during winter break, a viper will strike underneath the sands in the desert. So beware of the outcome my dear child, I bid you adieu." Vivien informs leaving her and Grin speechless as the brunette lake goddess releases her shoulders and gives her a gentle smile.

"I'm counting on you Moonchild. Remember what I said." She reminds her as she turns her heels and left the hall of mirrors. Once she left, Grim turns his head with a confused look.

"The hell does she mean by that, Glory?" He ask curiously as she stood there pondering for a minute.

"Viper...Viper....aah!" Glory soon gasp as the puzzles quickly come together when she remembered the vice dorm leader of Scarabia that she meet at the cafeteria that morning weeks ago.

Realized what she meant, Glory shook her head making Grim puzzled.

"Glory?" He stares at her with a concerned look before she gives him a reassuring smile.

"It's fine Grim? Let's go back home." She reassures as she picks up her luggage and head straight to the Mirror Chambers to transport to the ramshackle dorm they belonged.
———————————

Later at Crowley's office, Dire was at his desk sorting out files until he heard a knock from the door.

"Hm? Come in." He said as the door opens to reveal the tiny elderly nurse.

"Hello Dire." Merlin greets him cordially and the headmaster smiles back.

"Aah Merlin. Didn't expect you to come by to my office. Is there something you like for me to help?" He ask curiously as the tiny wizard floats down to Crowley with grin.

"Actually there's one thing I need to ask you about." He implies with a grin that is written danger.

"Such as?" He ask.

"Simply really..." Merlin said as he lays his staff to the floor while keeping his awfully cheery smile.

"Have you made ANY progress of finding her world yet?" He questions curiously.

"Hm? Oh! ...Aaah that. Umm well, you see here Merlin. Things have been hectic this weekend and I've been busy with work as the headmaster, but I'm willing to get back to the research as soon as I'm done with today's work. As I am very kind." He reassures with a grin while sounding nervous. But Merlin isn't buying what he said as he kept his sunny smile on tact and let's out a chortle.

"Oh oh oh. Good to hear because let me tell you something that you must remember." He informs as he raises his staff and point it at Dire where it emits a bright white light as Merlin shoots him the most deadliest scowl ever.

"Let me give you a warning Dire. If something happens to Sundrop when you don't find her way back to her world, I swear to Mordred's skanky ass that I won't hesitate to turn your entire existence into the oblivion. Do I make myself clear?" He warms him with a menacing tone as Crowley gulps while keeping his composure together.

"...I'll keep your word, Merlin. And do whatever I can find her own world where she would tell her parents about her situation as future queen of twisted wonderland before she travels back to here." He reassures with sweat dripping down from his forehead while keeping his composure in tact. Merlin stares at Dire for a five minutes before he lifts his staff up and the white light vanished from the tip of his staff.

"...I hope so, Dire. I hope so." He said as Merlin turns his back and floats to the entrance but gave him a serious scowl one last time before he spun his head to the door as he swung the door open with his staff and shut the door closed leaving the headmaster sighing and laying his head to his forehead.

"I better be careful not to get into his bad side. But..." Crowley then lifts his head up and nods.

"I won't give up. I'll do some research while winter break. That way, I'll find something to get her to travel back to her world." He proclaims as he sits back to his chair and works on his files.
——————

Right after Merlin left his office, the tiny paused when he noticed Vivien standing next to the door.

"Seems like you have a rough interaction with Dire." She points out making him sigh.

"I thought you were going back to your lake right after you warn Sundrop about the threats in the near future, Vivien." He reminds her.

"True, but I also saw a vision of you and Crowley sharing an intense moment so I must check if you're okay." Vivien informs.

"Admirable but I rather if you keep this between you and me. I don't wanna know what happens if Sundrop finds out about Dire's actual motive." Merlin assures which the lake goddess nods at him.

"Agreed. Crowley is definitely hiding something." She assumed without further question. Merlin turns to her.

"You can see the future right? Don't you know Dire's plan?" Merlin asked curiously. Vivien narrows her eyes despite holding a collected expression.

"It's quite complicated to say..." Vivien mumbled. Merlin furrowed his bushy brows at her before sighing.

"Well whatever the case is. I'm hoping he does find her world otherwise...he'll pay the consequences." He informs ending the sentence with a dark tone. Vivien can sense his aura and walks up to him as she lays her hand on his shoulder where he glance at her.

"Merlin please. Calm down, you must've think this too much. You need to get some rest." She reassures as Merlin sighs.

"I know that, Vivien. I know." He said as floats his way back to the infirmary leaving Vivien concerned for her elderly friend before glancing at his office.

I hope you know what you're doing, Dire...

Vivien thought as she glance back at Merlin with a worried look.

Because you don't realize what he's capable of....

She ponders as Vivien became more worried about the future itself.
