Right after watching Ace's game, Glory and Grim were strolling through the halls.

"That was a bad game..." Grim mumbles while clinging on to her shoulder.

"At least they did their best." Glory reassures.

"Meh. Could've been better if that Jamil guy didn't pass the ball to Floyd." Grim mutters.

"I mean he's part of the team Grim. You gotta give him credit for trying." She points out.

"Whatever, but where are we going?" Grim ask curiously.

"Well since winter break is coming, I thought of buying my friends some gifts from Mister S's Mystery Shop before they head back to their towns for break." Glory suggests.

"Gifts?" Grim tilts his head curiously and she nods.

"Yeah. Christmas time is in the winter so it's a good time for me to buy gifts as my way of saying thanks for everything you've done for me." She said.

"Oh.." Grim utters but as soon as they arrived at Sam's shop, Grim and Glory stop their tracks with surprised looks to see Vivien chatting with Sam.

"Eh? Isn't tha-! Mmph?!"

"Sssh!" Glory hushes the gremlin as the ravenette scurries behind the doorway and peers her head watching Vivien and Sam chatting in the room along with Grim who is peering from her shoulder.

While inside the store, Vivien and Sam are chuckling about something but Glory quickly notices a blush crept from her cheeks. Knowing what's happening between the too, Glory crept a smile and chortles slyly at their romantic tension.

"Ohoho~ I finally understand why she comes here." Glory coos with a slick smirk while peering from the doorway. Grim however, does not understand what's going on as he tilts his head with a puzzled expression.

"What's wrong with her? That creepy lake lady is turning red like a rose." Grim points out not getting the hint of what's happening, but Glory does and lets out a giggle cuz she's enjoying the living crap out of it.

"That's because you're not getting the whole point Grim." Glory reassures as she smirks at the scene that unfolds behind her eyes.

"Cuz Vivi here is in love~." Glory slyly assures.

"Eeh?" Grim tilts his head still not getting the picture.

Later inside the shop, Vivien and Sam are chortling and smiling together as the brunette tilts her head a little with a sheepish but loving smile while twirling her strand of brown locks.

"Come now. You're making a lady flustered here." Vivien assures gazing at him with a coy smile. The shopkeeper curls his brows with a slight playful smirk.

"Oh? But my friends from the other side tells me that an angel like yourself looks beautiful when you blush like that." Sam coos making the lake goddess giggle once more before smiling back at him.

"You have some peculiar yet interesting friends. In fact your friends are quite the charmer are they?" She inquires with a slight smirk curling her brows with emerald eyes peeked with interest.

"Aah but my friends are not wrong are they? Your presence gives off an angelic vibe since the moment I laid eyes on you and must I say, you look like a pure goddess." Sam compliments with Vivien smiling gently at the charming shopkeeper.

"Because I am one." She told him.

"Oh?" Sam blinks his eyes with an endearing smile and Glory and Grim stood there from the doorway with a shock look while staying silent. Vivien nods at him.

"Yes. I live at the falls in the forest for my entire life. They were bittersweet memories that I cherished..." Vivien explains as she clench the hem of her dress suppressing her grimace from the aching memories of her past while keeping her smile on tact.

"...But either way, my home is quite comfortable and relaxing since I get to roam around in the forest during the nighttime, mediate under the falls, and relax in the lake." She told him as Sam folds his arms tilting his head a little with a inquisitive look before he crept a calming smile.

"Seems like it's an intriguing place to live isn't it? A goddess that lives in lake lurking in the forest under dusk. How endearing." He comments with a smile making the lake goddess giggle softly.

"Endearing you say? I don't think my home is...endearing...." Vivien mutters averting her eyes with a nervous smile scratching her left cheek with her finger. Glory and Grim stood there with silent stares as the ravenette thought about Vivien's past.

Didn't expect her to talk about her background to a shopkeeper like that, but... I wonder what kind of person she was?

Glory ponders curiously while she and Grim eavesdrop and spy on Vivien. Suddenly, Glory and Grim witnessed Sam gently grabs her hand and plants a kiss on it before giving her an easygoing smile that Glory perk up a huge grin like a fan girl with Grim speechless by what just happened with Sam and Vivien.

"Don't to worry my angel. I'm not going to push you over telling me the details of your background. I value your privacy and I'm willing to be patient with a delicate angelic beauty like yourself. Whenever you're down or you're feeling like your are ready to tell me bout your life, I'm always here to listen to your woes." Sam reassures making Glory's gushing over their romance.

"Kyaa~ I ship it so much!" Glory quietly squeals going fan girl mode over Vivien and Sam's intimacy.

"You're becoming like that old midget huh?" Grim dryly snarks with a blank look.

"Let me live my life Grim! A girl has to ship ya know!" Glory retorts with a frown. Vivien stood there with emerald eyes widen in shock. No one has ever told her to come to them when feeling down besides her close friend Merlin. But hearing this from a man that she knew for a few days makes her heart flutter causing her to crept a warm smile.

"I appreciate the offer, but I can assure you that I'm fine. If the time comes, then I'll let you know." She reassures with a warm genuine smile and the shopkeeper nods with a grin.

"Seems fair enough Angel. Now is that all you want to buy?" He ask curiously laying a hand on one of the twelve gifts in the bag. Vivien nods her head and smiled.

"That's all there is to it. These belong to my young lustrous close friend of mine after all." Vivien assures with Sam chuckling softly.

"Well I'm sure this 'lustrous close friend' of yours will enjoy these gifts you've bought for them." Sam reassures and the brunette lake goddess smiles.

"Certainly." Vivien replies.

"Okay! Be right back, Angel. I gotta get a bag from the back. Brb." Sam said with a wink. As soon as he turns around and went to the back room, Vivien let's out a sigh opening her eyes with a blank look.

"Moonchild, noisy kitten, I know you're there." Vivien confronts. Vivien folds her arms and she spun her head to see Glory scooting over to the doorway letting out an awkward giggle with Grim sweatdropping when facing the irked Vivien.

"How much did you both heard?" She ask sternly.

"Well I was about to buy some gifts for my friends before the holiday starts, but then I saw you and now I finally know why you come to my campus that often. However...I didn't expect you to talk about your background..." Glory explains as she mutters the last part feeling awkward of saying this to her before she let's out a sigh.

"I'm sorry that I eavesdropped about your past, but I'm willing to respect your boundaries and privacy." Glory apologizes, but she shook her head at her unfazed by her eavesdropping.

"No please don't apologize. I knew it was coming after all. It's...where I was born with..." Vivien said gripping her right wrist averting her eyes while compressing her grimace about her past.

"Hey it's no problem. It's your choice to not tell me about it. I respect that and not force you to tell me until you're ready." Glory reassures making Vivien smiled sweetly at the kind ravenette.

"Thank you Moonchild, but you mustn't fret about buying gifts. I already bought them for you." Vivien said with Glory sweatdrop in response.

"Yeah...I overheard, but you don't have to go out of the way to buy them for me." Glory mumbles while scratching her left cheek. Vivien pats her head with a soft smile.

"Nonsense. These gifts are for your friends..." Vivien reassures before forming a playful smirk.

"Or should I say bachelors?~" She coos slyly causing Glory to widen her eyes and blush beet red.

"We're just friends Vivi!" Glory shrills, but Vivi tilts her head a little while plastering a frisky smirk.

"Oh? But I can tell your face says it's more than just friendship. Tell me Moonchild, how would you describe your relationship with the boys?" Vivien ask crossing her arms with emerald eyes gleaming with anticipation. Glory averts her eyes and puts her arms behind her back looking a bit timid.

"Well...For Ace, he came out as a jerk when you met him but as you get to know him, he's more outgoing and down to earth. Deuce, he's a stern and kinda awkward guy yet he has a sensitive and fiery side that I'm drawn into, and that's something I admired. Trey is giving me the cool dad vibes type. He's caring, protective, knows how to handle situations calmly, and he's a really good baker. He even taught me how to bake once and helped me make chocolate covered strawberries..." Glory mutters the last part as she lightly shuffled her shoulders with a smile reminiscing her time with Trey at the kitchen.

"It was fun. I really enjoy his company. It reminds me how me and my mom hang out." She said.

"Oh?" Vivien blinks twice when Glory mentions about her mother.

"Yeah. I'm not a good cook or baker, but I do love helping my mom and organize things while she's cooking food for my family. My dad and I love her food. She's the best and one of my role models. I wanna be just as hardworking like my mom and I want to become just as strong as my dad." Glory told her smiling at the fond memories of her parents while fumbling her thumbs from behind. Vivien's emerald orbs glimmer in awe when she talks about family.

Family....

Vivien ponders as this is the first time she ever hears the word "family". She blinks her eyes to see Glory smiling softly before she continues her relationship with the boys.

"Cater is...heheh...He's a flirt but also peppy and a pretty cool dude to hang out. Riddle on the other hand is stern and hardworking, but he's also a caring and responsible person. Plus he's cute when he smiles. Azul is this suave gentleman at first, but deep down he's actually pretty compassionate, perceptive, considerate, yet vulnerable octopus..." Glory said as she twirls her fingers behind her back while smiling coyly.

"He's like me when I was little. Shy but bullied as a child, but with different reason. One, because of my poor performance and two, because of Azul's specie as an merfolk octopus. And when I face the real him for the first time, it's like I'm looking at a mirror...and I'm glad he's slowly trying to redeem himself after the incident and it feels great to have someone that I can relate to. Bullying f#*ks you up in the head. It's no wonder why Azul feels insecure with his form till this day, but in the end we learn from our experiences and we turned them into our strengths. That's how I learned from my experience. All because of my family and best friends." She explains while reminiscing her memories from her world and how Azul's experience is similar to hers before she continues her relationship with the boys.

"Jade is pretty cool too. I like how calm, well-mannered, and composed he is when handling situations yet he has this cunning and dominant side that I can't help be attracted by. The same goes with Floyd. When I first saw him, I was quite cautious of him because he is an erratic and aggressive eel, but at the same time...alluring. I couldn't help but think about what this crazy eel is going to do next. It just makes it fun when he's around and I'm quite fond of him. Leona is a lazy ass and a pain in the butt, however, he also has a practical and thoughtful side that he won't admit, but I must say, he's a pretty attractive lion that has this assertive side that I admired..." Glory said with a loving smile.

"You're really attracting lots of weirdos haven't you, Glory?" Grim ask dryly, but with Vivien smirking widely.

"Mhm Hmm...continue." She insists with a sh#t-eating grin.

"Ruggie on the other hand, is a mischievous but cheery hyena who is a funny hyena and Jack is a tsundere wolf who is pretty hard to approach due to his standoffish demeanor, but when you get a good closer look at him, he's an independent, hardworking, smart, protective, and loyal wolf that values justice and yearns be stronger." Glory explains with a grin before letting out a giggle.

"But enough about me, let's talk about you." Glory insists. Unsurprised, Vivien curls need brows with an obvious smirk.

"Oh? You're questioning my relationship with Sam?" She ask slyly with zen as Glory smirks back.

"You got that one right." She replies boldly.

"Yeah I wanna know too. Why are you with Sam?" Grim ask curiously as the lake goddess chortle.

"Well as you wonder. I developed...what mortals called a "crush" on this strange yet endearing young man." Vivien told them with an open truth.

"Aah so that explains why you come to my campus everyday." Glory understood with a smile and she nods.

"Yeah...Though this is the first time I ever developed feelings for a man before." She said.

"You never fell in love before?" Glory ask curiously curling her brows and she shakes her head.

"No dear child, I don't. I've never acted this way before, yet this is all new to me...I never experienced romance during my youth. I spend my whole centuries roaming around the lake and assisting Merlin and King Arthur during his quest to defeat Mordred back in Avalon." Vivien informs.

"Eeh? Avalon? Is that where you and that old midget lived?" Grim ask and she nods.

"It's an island where we used to live. Right after Arthur's death, Merlin and I transport to Twisted Wonderland through the mirror due to his heartfelt message from him." She explains.

"What did it say?" Glory ask curiously wondering about her and Merlin's backstory. Vivien grins sweetly as she intertwines her hands together.

"...Arthur loved and cherished us as his family and wants us to strive forward never forget the memories and life lessons we've learned." Vivien said.

"Once we'd got there in Twisted Wonderland. We went separate ways. I spend my life alone in the lake at the forest while Merlin worked as a tutor back in Royal Swords Academy and that was before he got retired and takes a job as a nurse at Night Raven College." Vivien informs.

"Whoaa..." Grim awes.

"Now that's something I learned from you and Merlin." Glory said.

"Yes." Vivien nods. Glory grins and cross her arms.

"So when does this crush on yours started?" Glory ask curiously.

"Not too long ago. It happened a few weeks ago when I was on my way to the infirmary and that's when I met him. I was caught surprised yet a bit cautious at first since he's a peculiar, but...he has this soothing effect that made me feel calm and smile when I'm around him. He's a mystery I know, but...I couldn't help but feel relaxed and charmed by his friendly and serene nature. Plus, we have the same interests of ghosts and spirits." Vivien explains with Glory giggling softly at her.

"You really like him a lot." She said with a grin.

"I won't lie, but...I'm actually quite fond of his presence. He's just...a genuinely pleasant man..." Vivien mutters with a blush crept from her cheeks while grinning lovingly.

"Eeh!? You're in love with that creepy weird shopkeeper?" Grim shrieks, but gets flick in the head by Glory.

"Ow!" He winces and rubs his head with his paw before she turns to her with a smile.

"Have you told him about him about your feelings yet?" She ask curiously. Vivien shook her head sheepishly while twiddling her fingers.

"I'm...not...Don't get me wrong. I do love him, but...I don't know if he would ever be interested in getting intimate with a lake goddess such as myself..." She mutters feeling anxious about her feelings to a man she met a few weeks ago.

"...Besides, I need to get to know him more before I confessed my feelings. I just need more time to sort things out before I expressed my genuine feelings for Sam." Vivien reassures. Glory didn't mind and smiled as she lays a hand on her shoulder.

"It's okay if you feel uncomfortable telling him how you feel. I won't pressure you on doing it. Take as much time as you can and if you feel like you need advice then you can just come to my dorm to talk about it. Cuz your best Moonchild friend is here for you." Glory comforts her with a calming smile. With her eyes filled with awe, Vivien crept a sweet smile and gently lays her hand on to hers touched by her comforting and reassuring words.

"Thank you Moonchild. You'll always be my precious child." Vivien assures and Glory nods with a bright smile.

"Anytime, Vivi." She said.

"I mean...If it's Sam you want, then it couldn't be helped. However, I highly doubt that Sam would turn you away cuz whatever the case is, I'm sure you and that weirdo will pull this off in no time." Grim reassures making Vivien giggle softly.

"Thank you, Kitten." The brunette lake goddess grins gently.

"I'm not a kitten!" Grim chides with a tick mark throbbing from his head, but Vivien didn't care and rolls her eyes at Grim with a side grin. Soon Sam came out of the back room with a bag.

"And I'm back-! Whoa there! Well if it isn't Gloriane Corbett and her raccoon friend." Sam perks with a grin but Grim became irked when he called him a raccoon as a tick mark throbs from his head.

"I am not a raccoon!!" Grim chides with an annoyed glare yet Sam was not fazed by the irritated gremlin and chortles all the way before smiling back at Glory.

"I haven't seen you for awhile. How's the little angel doing these days?" Sam ask with an easygoing grin and Glory grins back.

"Things have been good this week. How about you? Shop is still functional and good as always, I assume?" Glory wittily ask with a coy smile wiggling her brows playfully at the shopkeeper causing Sam to chortle and smile at the witty ravenette.

"Why of course it is, my dear little angel. This shop has always been functional and excellent in Night Raven College!" He chirps.

"So tell me little angel. What can I help you with? Food? Snacks? Charms? Spells?" Sam ask listing the things he has in his store. Glory giggles and waves her hand at him.

"Not at all. I was going to buy some gifts for my friends, but someone else already beat me to it." Glory explains as she spun her head with a knowingly smirk making Vivien giggle softly.

"Oh? So you're the 'Moonchild' that Angel's been talking about it." Sam understood as form a small smirk.

"My friends from the other side won't stop talking about you. They said about you becoming popular with the boys recently because what happened in Octavinelle. I'm not too surprised since you're a lovely young girl." He compliments and spun his head to Vivien with a grin.

"And I can assume that you and Little Angel here are close?" Sam guesses.

"We do. Moonchild and I are close friends. I've been helping her with adjusting the school along the way. You can say I'm a mother figure to her." Vivien reassures with a calm smile.

"Aah like Mother and daughter? That I understand. You guys seem very close from what I've seen." Sam compliments with Vivien and Glory giggled softly.

"Likewise." Vivien replies with a gentle grin.

"Indeed." Glory agrees with Vivien as she has to admit. Hanging out with Vivien makes her feel comfortable due to her mysterious but soothing and gentle presence. She likes how mild-mannered and composed she is that gives her a motherly vibe. It reminds her of her mother back in her world.

"Anyways..."

Sam then shoves twelve gifts in the bag and give it to Glory.

"Here's your gift, Little Angel." Sam said with a cordial grin. As she was about to grab the bag of gifts, Vivien lays a hand in front of her and grabs the bag with a smile.

"Allow me."

"Oh no, you've already bought me gifts. I can carry them back to my dorm by myself."

"Oh? You would rather exposed your plans to give them? Cuz the boys will see you carrying them and it will give a dead give away." Vivien informs as she forms a calming smile.

"You wouldn't want that to happened right?" She reminds her. Glory then snaps her fingers out of realization and points her finger at her.

"Good point, but how am I supposed bring these back without the guys seeing me carrying the gifts?" Glory ask curiously and that is when Vivien forms a wise smirk at the young ravenette.

"Aah but that is when I came in, my dear Moonchild." She reassures as Vivien takes a deep breath and gently blew a bubble coming out of her mouth shocking Glory and Grim including Sam, whom he crept an intriguing smile at the brunette. As soon as the bubble merges to the bag, Vivien lightly taps the top of the bubble with the tip of her fingers where it poofs into thin air.

Awed by the ability, both Glory and Grim applaud for her simple yet fascinating ability.

"Holy cow! That was amazing!! What was that?" Grim chirps with eyes gleam with excitement.

"That my dear Grim is called Bubble Teleport. An ability where I can teleport objects with one simple bubble. However, it'll only work when take one or few amount of objects I carried. If it's too much, then the bubble will pop." Vivien explains.

"So where did you send them?" Glory ask curiously as Vivien smiled warmly at her.

"At your dorm of course. I just have to think of a place in my head before I teleport them." She replies.

"Hmm interesting ability you have, Angel." Sam compliments with a grin.

"Why thank you, Dear ghostly friend." Vivien said flashing him with a wink smiling coyly at him. Glory couldn't help but grin widely at the cute moment between her and Sam.

Adorable.

Glory thought while smiling at the cute potential couple. Sam chuckles softly and turns his head to Glory.

"You should come by to my shop more often. My ghost friends from the other side are quite fond of you and I don't wouldn't having a young beautiful charming lady such as yourself come visit my store." Sam implies making her giggle and smiled.

"That would be delightful Sam. I'll keep that in mind." Glory said.

"Jeez. Now you got the shopkeeper fawn over you." Grim whispers with the ravenette grinning at the gremlin and pats his head.

"It's okay Grim." Glory reassures as he pats his head.

"It's nice chatting with you Sam, but Moonchild and I have to discuss some serious matters in our hands." Vivien informs puzzling the ravenette and her gremlin friend. Sam chuckles and smiles softly at her.

"Whatever you say, Angel." Sam said.

———————
Meanwhile at the infirmary, Merlin watches Vivien taking Glory on a walk through his crystal ball. Much to his relief as he lets out a sigh.

"Ah good. Vivien took her out for a walk to talk about the visitors." Merlin mutters.

"And this is a good time for us to meet up with them." A familiar male voice said.

Merlin turns his chair around and nods at the headmaster who is standing against the doorway.

"Of course. Rapunzel and the gang are on their feet. They're going to be arriving soon so..."

The tiny wizard grabs his staff next to him and taps twice to the floor with the cloud poof out of the blue. Merlin hops on the cloud and floats past him.

"Let's be on our way." Merlin insists with the headmaster sighing despondently remembering their previous confrontation at his office where he grimaces at Merlin's menacing expression when he threatened him before he complies with a nod.

"...Right." Crowley replies as he spun around and march his way out of the infirmary and slams the door shut with Merlin flipping the sigh that says 'closed'. Afterwards, they head straight to the halls to meet up with the girls.
——————

Right after they left Sam's shop, Glory and Vivien stroll through the halls with Grim clinging on to her shoulder.

"So what do want to talk about Vivi?" Glory ask curiously. Vivien stood silently for a minute before she told her about the news.

"...Rapunzel is coming." Vivien told her stunning yet puzzling Glory and Grim.

"What?" Glory utters blinking her eyes twice.

"Eeh? You mean the girl from the story that old midget told us about a few times? Why do mean she's 'coming'?" Grim ask curiously looking puzzled right now.

"I'm with Grim on this one. Rapunzel is from Corona. How on earth would she come visit us when she is from another world?" Glory ask curiously.

"That is when you're wrong my child. She isn't arriving just alone." Vivien implies causing Glory to widen her eyes knowing what she means.

"You mean-!"

"Yes." Vivien replies cutting her off and spun her head to the ravenette and her gremlin friend.

"Rapunzel, her husband Eugene Fitzherbert, and her close ally Cassandra, are arriving here in Twisted Wonderland any min-."

"Oi! Glor!"

Soon her sentence got cut off and they both stop their tracks when they heard Ace's voice causing the brunette lake goddess to groan and lays a hand on her forehead.

"I knew this would happened...." Vivien mutters pinching her temple. Glory and Grim spun their heads to see Ace and the rest of the Heartslabyul gang approaching her.

"Ace, Deuce...everyone." Glory utters as they stroll towards her.

"You've already finished practicing, Ace?" Glory ask curiously.

"Yup. Just got out of the shower a minute ago." Ace told her.

"Eeh? Vivi-san?" Deuce utters to see Vivien standing beside her.

"Oh hey. It's the cute lake lady! How's life been? Have you been missing me?" Cater jokes with a playful grin making Glory roll her eyes, Grim shaking his head, and Vivien giggle softly at him.

"Life has been gone smoothly thank you, Diamond child." Vivien replies kindly.

"What are you doing here, Vivien? Aren't you supposed to be in the forest as usual?" Trey ask curiously with the lake goddess sweatdropping while keeping a smile.

"Why yes...but I was just visiting a special friend of mine from the shop." Vivien stated.

" 'Special friend' she said." Grim dryly implies making quotations with his tiny paw fingers.

"Oh yes, a 'special friend' indeed." Glory sarcastically sasses as she shifts her eyes to Vivien with a small sly smirk flustering Vivien deeply before she clears her throat.

"Yes. I was visiting a 'special friend' at the store at your campus. So how about we drop the subject for now?" Vivien mumbles while keeping her smile suppressing her irritation.

"Well...I don't know what this is about, but I won't force you to comply. Anyways, Rabbit." Riddle turns to Glory with his signature stern look.

"Why are you still in your workout uniform? We're about to head out for lunch. A student must wear formal clothes in school according to the rules from the Queen of Hearts." Riddle informs her. Glory scratches the back of her head biting her lower lip.

"Right. About that, I was stopping by at Sam's shop to buy some...things for tonight. But then I saw Vivien there and we talked after and now." Glory explains.

"Oh? What were you doing at Sam's shop?" Trey ask curiously. Glory forms a coy smile and lays a finger to her lips flashing a wink at them.

"It's a secret." Glory whispers with an excitable grin causing the Heartslabyul gang to be puzzled by her dubious answer. Grim snickers at their dumb reactions. Vivien then let's out a nervous laugh and lays her hands on her shoulders before smiling awkwardly at them.

"Yes a secret and we should definitely get back to what we're discussing because it is an emergency." Vivien reassures implying the warning she's about to tell Glory and Grim.

"Huh?" Ace tilts his head.

"For what reason?" Deuce ask curiously still confused, but then comes the familiar voice from miles away.

"Wildcat/Kitten!!" Jack and Ruggie yells and cue the face palm from Vivien.

Oh for goodness sakes! Not now!!

Vivien thought believing this is the worst time for the Savanaclaw boys to come. As soon as they came up to Glory and the Heartslabyul gang, Glory smiled warmly at the Savanaclaw trio.

"Hi guys." She greets them with a cordial smile.

"Oh Jack!" Deuce chirps.

"Good job on the track today!" Deuce compliments with the wolf scratching his head.

"It's nothing really..." He mutters while scratching his head.

"Any mile percentage you got so far?" Glory ask curiously.

"Close. I still need to up my game so I could become a stronger man for my dorm." Jack said.

"Man, you really are a pain in the butt." Ruggie snarks shaking his head at the overachieving wolf, but Jack won't listen and turns to the tiny hyena.

"But it's true! If I have to become a strong member of the Savanaclaw dorm, I have to train all day in order to reach my goals!" Jack genuinely expresses making the lion sigh in annoyance.

"It also comes from the mind as well, so keep that in mind, puppy." He reminds him with an irked scowl on his face.

"Jack's really a determined guy." Grim whispers.

"Wolf is the correct term for Jack, Grim." Glory assures as she turns to Leona with a grin.

"How's everything going for you Leona and Ruggie? How's Magift club?" She ask curiously. Ruggie shrugs his shoulders.

"Eeh same ole, same ole." The hyena nonchalantly replies.

"Yeah. We just have to train those fresh babies to shape." Leona informs calmly.

"And umm..."

Soon a blush crept from his cheeks averting his green orbs with his brows furrowed shocking Grim.

"Whoa! He's blushing!" Grim mutters.

"Grim, he's right there..." Glory mumbles with a sweatdrop.

"And I can hear you, herbivore." Leona retorts as he turns back to Glory.

"Anyways, I found something at the greenhouse and-."

"Pardon me for the intrusion, Lion King, and I apologize for budding in, but I was in the middle of a discussion earlier with Moonchild where it is an urgent matter that I MUST addressed!" Vivien points out clenching her teeth feeling her patience thinning out.

"Hm?" Leona hums looking baffled.

"Urgent?" Ruggie ask looking puzzled.

"Like what?" Jack ask curiously.

"Guys, I think we should let Vivien tell you." Glory reassures them making Vivien sighed and smiled with relief.

"Agreed with Rabbit. She has the right to tell us everything and we-."

As soon as Riddle was about to finished, another voice boomed across the halls.

"KINGYO-CHAN! LIONFISH!!!~" Floyd shouts from down the halls irking the brunette lake goddess further.

"For the love of stallion's asscrack!!!!" Vivien bellows with a tick mark throbbing from her head as her patience finally breaks. Glory and the gang spun their heads, Riddle flinch when he sees Floyd running towards Glory where he tackles her into a big hug.

"Ack! H-Hi Floyd! Aaahehehe..." She giggles nervously when the perky eel stars nuzzling her neck triggering jealous glares from the Heartslabyul and the Savanaclaw boys.

"Lionfish~! What were you doing roaming around in the halls like a guppy? Don't tell me you're hiding from me." Floyd ask with a playful pout making Glory coyly giggle and shakes her head.

"N-No Floyd. I wasn't...I was talking with Leona and the rest of the guys." Glory told him.

"Eeh? The rest of the fishies are here?" Floyd ask tilting his head like a child. Feeling his blood boiled, Riddle and Leona take no hesitation when Leona pulls Floyd away from Glory while Riddle grabs her wrist and pulls her close to him.

"I said personal space, didn't I?" Leona reminds him with an irked glare.

"Oi don't grab me like that, will ya?" Floyd retorts with an irked scowl yanking his arm away from the jealous lion.

"We mean it Floyd! Don't touch her!!" Riddle seethes with a glare while holding her wrist.

"Eeeh?~ Is Kingyo chan and Sea Lion-chan jealous?~" Floyd teases before he shoots a terrifying stare.

"Cuz I was in the middle of cuddling my adorable Lionfish." He lowly snarls showing his sharp teeth sending shivers down to their spines including the gremlin.

"Eeek! Why do attract the scary ones, Glory?...." Grim mutters cowering behind her shoulder.

"I...don't know..." She mutters with a sweatdrop.

I'm not the only one who is getting serious yandere vibes from this guy, right?...

Glory thought sweatdropping at their antics.

"No Floyd."

Soon they all turn to see Jade with an displeased expression along with Azul.

"Leona's right. You should know how to respect people's personal space." Jade assures with his arms fold to his chest.

"Yessssss I get it..." Floyd groans rolling his eyes with annoyance from his brother's lecture. Azul sighs and spun his head to Glory.

"Please apologize for Floyd's unruly behavior. He should know his manners." He apologized, but Glory waves her hands at the octopus.

"It's okay Azul...at least he knows his ways." She reassures.

"By the way, why were you guys-."

As soon as Jade starts to ask the boys, Vivien couldn't contain her patience and Glory, Riddle, and Azul are the three people to notice her shaking.

"Um guys..." Glory mutters.

"Everyone be quiet!" Riddle commands.

"Agreed! Vivien has something to sa-!"

"MEN!" She soon shouts at them as Vivien caught the boys' attention and takes a deep breath and exhale out before she could start talking.

"I am trying to warn you all including Moonchild and her gremlin friend about the important event that is happening today in Night Raven College!" Vivien explains to them.

"Oh right. Vivi-san was talking about to a minute ago." Deuce said.

"Shoot I almost forgot about that." Ace chimes.

"Eeh?~" Floyd tilts his head looking puzzled.

"An important event today?" Jade tilts his head curiously with laying his hand under his chin.

"I'm curious too. What do you mean by important event?" Azul ask laying his hands on his hips.

"She means that Rapunzel and her gang on coming here to our world." An old voice booms through the halls as all of them turn to see Merlin and Crowley standing before them.

"And they will be arriving here in Night Raven College VERY SOON!!" Crowley shouts wincing the tiny elderly wizard as he covers his ears.

"Ack! Oi! I told you I have sensitive ears, damnit!!" Merlin chides with a tick mark throbbing from his head glaring at the loud birdbrain headmaster.

"Wait..." Ace utters as everyone in the halls let out a scream with shock expressions.

"VERY SOON?!?!" They all shout with shock looks. Suddenly a bluish-purple aura emits in the middle of the hall astonishing Glory and the gang.

"Aaaah...Here they come." Crowley informs with a composed tone.

"Indeed." Merlin agrees. Vivien let's out a sigh and glance back at the group with a blank look.

"I warned you all." Vivien reminds them.

"Whoa!!" Glory shouts.

"Eeh?! A glow?!?" Deuce yells looking shock yet confused.

"Holy hell!!" Ace yelps.

"Ffgya?! Is that them?!?" Grim shrieks while cowering behind her shoulder.

"Eeh? Then?!" Ace and Deuce turn to Grim with shock but puzzled looks.

"Omg I don't like this!!!" Cater panics.

"This is bad! Is this magic?!?!" Trey shouts with looking puzzled yet scared.

"What the hell?!" Leona and Ruggie cursed with shock looks as their ears sprung up.

"What the hell is going on here?!" Jack shrieks with his ears and tail sprung up in shock.

"Ack! So bright!!" Floyd screeches covering his eyes with his arm.

"Floyd! Get out of the way!!!" Jade warns him.

"This isn't good! We need to move now!!!" Azul warns.

"Everyone take cover!!!" Vivien shouts. As everyone takes cover and Riddle makes no time to grab Glory's wrist and pulls her close to him.

"Stay close to me Rabbit!!" Ruddle reassures and Glory nods while holding a trembling Grim.

"Got it!" She nods. Soon the bluish purple aura booms through the halls causing everyone to wince and cover their eyes from the blast. Right after the light fade away, everyone and the staff open their eyes. But what they saw have them shook to the core and made Glory gasp with her grey eyes widen.

"No...way..." She mutters.

"Is that-?" Grim utters but Glory nods at him.

"Yeah...That's them..." She said as she and the others got up from the ground but still have shock looks on their faces when Glory told them about trio she recognized from one of her favorite Disney movies from her childhood, Tangled.

"...Rapunzel and her gang." Glory told him shuddering at the presence of her favorite characters from one of her favorite Disney movies.

"RAPUNZEL?!" The boys shrieked with shock expressions as they saw a bunch of belongings scattered all over the floor. Then they notice a slender woman with short brown hair and green eyes wearing a purple and pink dress but with no shoes on, a slim woman with pale skin, raven bobcut layered hair and grey eyes in an grey suit, and a slender man with dark brown hair and a goatee and light brown eyes. Alongside them are a green chameleon on the queen's should and an owl laying on the floor. As soon as the trio slowly rises up from the floor groaning from the hard impact.

"Aaah...Is everyone alright?" Rapunzel ask curiously with her pet chameleon croaks in response. Soon she turns her head to see her husband whimpering.

"Ughh my beautiful handsome face...." He groans while rubbing his head.

"Eugene!" She shrieks as the queen runs up to her husband and carefully lifts him up from the ground. Eugene then smiles gently at his wife and kiss her cheek.

"Thanks honey." He said making her smiled back at him. Soon their close friend slowly got up with her pet owl fluttering towards her and lands on her shoulder as she lets out a soft groan.

"Jeez...where are we?" The ravenette swordswoman inquires glancing at the campus with her brows curled in curiosity while stroking her head.

"I'm not sure...we saw an image of a castle before jumped into a-. Ah!" Rapunzel soon gasps with her green eyes widen along with Pascal, whose jaw drop to her shoulder when they noticed Glory. Soon old memories from her dreaded tower days slowly start to crawl back her in mind.

~~~~~~
"Mommy, why can't I go outside?..."

The young Rapunzel asked while being groomed by her adopted mother.

"The world is a dangerous place Rapunzel. The only person you can rely on is mommy, understand?"

Gothel reassured her as her tone filled with empty promises and fake sympathy. She remembered how Gothel talked to her in a sweet facade manner and how her child self and young self fall for her lies.

"Okay mommy."

She replied with a innocent grin.
~~~~~~~~

Reminiscing back from her dreaded childhood, Rapunzel froze with her green eyes filled with shock and fear making Glory awkward.

"Uhhh hiii...." Glory sheepishly greets them with an awkward smile with Grim shuddering at her stare before turning to his henchman.

"Glory what's going on here? Why's that girl staring at you?!" Grim whispers with a panicked look.

"For obvious reasons, Grim." Glory mutters back.

"And we know exactly why." Deuce chimes in. On the other hand, the staff are dreaded with fear.

"Oh no..." Vivien gasps covering her mouth knowing that this would happened.

"Oh yes...it's happening..." Merlin mutters.

"Welp, this isn't going to end well..." Crowley snarks.

"You're the worst, ya know!!" Grim chides with a tick mark throbbing on his head. Eugene quickly took notice of his wife's feared look.

"Rapunzel? What's wro-. Holy Mother Gothel!!" Eugene shrieks when he saw Glory. Soon memories start to flow back in his mind remembering his first encounter with Mother Gothel.

~~~~~
"Gah!"

He winced as blood spurs out from his right rib with his blood stained from Gothel's blade.

"You even think that you can get away with taking my flower while you're at it, thief."

Gothel sneered remembering her eyes gleam with terror as she threw the dagger to the floor and walks off with Rapunzel sprinting towards him with a feared look on her face.

"Eugene!!!"

She shrieked holding on to his limp body. While being held by his sobbing wife, Eugene makes no hesitation to grab the dagger next to him and cuts her entire blonde locks off leaving his wife shocked and the conniving crone horrified.

"NO!"

She shrieked as the crone desperately sprints and grabs on to the lock of hair until it's too late. Once all of her hair turns the deep shade of brown, Gothel slowly reverts back to her very old self.

"What have to you done?...WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!"

Gothel bellows glaring daggers at the thief as she staggered through the room until she tips on to Rapunzel's hair and lifts her head to see a broken mirror with an image of her horrendous old self.

Horrified by her elderly form, Gothel trembled and shakes her head.

"N-No!...NOOO!"

She grunts as Gothel stood up and covers her entire face with her hood while ranting in humiliation. While screaming in humiliation, Pascal took a chance to pull the strand of Rapunzel's hair causing Gothel to trip from it and fell to the window.

"AAAAAAHHHHHH!!!"

As she scream from her fall, her entire body has turned into dust completely wiping her out from existence.
~~~~~~~

While looking back at his traumatic encounter with Gothel, Eugene glances back at his wife who is trembling with dreaded green eyes.

"E-Eugene-! I-! Wha-! I don't-!" Rapunzel stutters while shivering. Eugene quickly pulls her into a hug and gently stokes her head to calm her down.

"Calm down Sunshine. Easy now." He comforts her while patting his panicked wife leaving Glory and  the boys shocked and confused.

"Ok I'm confused. What's going on here?" Ace ask with a puzzled look.

"Beats me. I'm on the same boat as you guys are."  Leona points out looking irked right now.

"Same here." Jack chimes in.

"Me too." Ruggie agrees.

"Same goes for us from Heartslabyul." Deuce points out.

"And from Octavinelle as well." Jade included. Soon Cassandra groans softly while stroking her head.

"Hmm? Gothel? What do you mean?..." She mumbles, but as soon as Cassandra spun her head, everything went crashing down when she saw a young version of her mother standing before her. Owl stood there with eyes widen to see Glory without any words to say.

Speechless, Cassandra's eyes widen and froze in her place before letting out her response as trembles at the young teen girl that resembles her mother.

"...Mom?...I-Is that you?...." She stutters stinking Glory and shocking the boys and Grim.

"EEEEEEEHHHHHH MOM!?!?!" The Jack and Ruggie shrieked by the revelation.

"...What?" Leona utters with eyes widen in disbelief like a cat has got his tongue. Soon the boys and Grim spun their heads to Glory with shocked looks.

"She's your daughter?!?" Ace and Deuce shouts.

"Wait! You guys are related?!?" Cater shrieks with a mixed of shock and confusion.

"Eeh? Lionfish has a baby fish?! That's so weird!!" Floyd screeches weirded out by the situation.

"This...is a strange day..." Trey mutters looking dumbfounded for a second.

"Rabbit, do you know something about this?" Riddle ask curiously making Glory shaking her head and flails her hands to her friends.

"No! She's not! We're not related! I promise you guys! We don't know each other!!" She reassures.

"More importantly, Glofish is far too young to be a mother." Azul points out.

"Furthermore, who are you and how do you guys got here?" Jade ask curiously tilting his head laying his hand under his chin.

"Umm well-." As Rapunzel was about to explain, Merlin, Crowley, and Vivien barges into the conversation.

"I'm glad you asked, Leech." Merlin said as he floats towards her group along with the headmaster and the seer.

"As Sundrop stated before, these three people are from another dimension from Corona. A kingdom where the current queen, Rapunzel and her husband, Eugene ruled along with their close ally and former handmaiden, Cassandra. Who is the biological daughter of Gothel." Merlin explains.

"And these three were transported through the portal by their close friend and royal engineer to find the new user after they detect the sundrop flower and Moonstone Opal from our world." Vivien inform more.

"Wait. You know who are are?" Cassandra ask skeptically with her brows curled.

"Indeed. Moonstone. We're well aware that you three will be teleporting to our world so we decide to welcome you guys to our world as well as in Night Raven College." Vivien explains calmly causing Rapunzel and her friends to blink their eyes twice.

"Night..." Rapunzel utters.

"Raven..." Cassandra spoke.

"..College?" Eugene finished the sentence.

"YES!!" Crowley shouts scaring the Corona trio and the rest of the Night Raven College.

"Ack! I said indoor voice Dire!!" Merlin shrieks.

"Oh! Sorry, but Vivien and Merlin are right. What you're standing here is Night Raven College where students enroll in this magnificent campus if they have the potential of becoming great mages a factor which is determined by a mirror known as the Mirror of Darkness." Crowley explains as he lays his hand to his chest with a welcoming smile.

"I, Dire Crowley, am the headmaster of this campus. I welcome you, Queen Rapunzel, her husband, and their loyal friend to our world and our campus. It's a pleasure to meet you all." Dire greets them cordially. Then Vivien grabs the hem of her dress and curtsies to them with a warm smile.

"The pleasure is all mine, your royal majesty, your highness, and Lady Cassandra. I am Vivien also known as Lady of the Lake. I am a close friend of Merlin." Vivien said as the tiny wizard nod and bows his head to the queen.

"It's great meeting you, your highness. I'm Merlin, the nurse of the infirmary here in Night Raven and a mentor of Sundrop here." Merlin told them.

"Huh? Mentor?" Cassandra ask curiously.

"Indeed and one more thing that I need to addressed to you all." Merlin said.

"Hm?" Rapunzel tilts her head with a puzzled look.

"Yeaaah I'm not following. Explain again?" Eugene ask still looking lost.

"Gladly." Merlin replies as he floats towards Glory and extend his arm with a smile underneath his bushy mustache.

"You see people. This young lady here is not Gothel. This is Gloriane Corbett, Twisted Wonderland's future queen and the reincarnation of Mother Gothel who currently possessing the sundrop flower and the Moonstone Opal on both hands." He told them causing them to widen their eyes.

"Uhh future Queen of what-now?" Eugene ask looking confused yet shock.

"WHAT!? THE REINCARNATION OF OUR MOM!?" Rapunzel and Cassandra shrieked with shocked looks and cue the DUN DUN DUN music in the background as Glory and group's faces are filled with awkward looks.

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

With the shocking reveal has exposed, Owl stood on Cassandra's shoulder froze and speechless by the revelation as he shift his eyes at Pascal, who has his jaw dropped by the twist, let's out a soft croak before fainting on Rapunzel's shoulder.

Heya guys thanks for reading my new chapter of The Reincarnation of Mother Gothel and OH BOY that was a long chapter! Before we get to the next chapter, I wanna show you guys my fan art of Glory. Here it is.

I place my OC and used photos of the dorm leaders to stand together by using Pic College. That way she and her boys will stand out. And I also done the same thing as the other four pics I did. Here.

That's Glory at the Heartslabyul with the wacky, maddening, but lovable Heartslabyul gang. 👸❤️🌹♠️♣️♦️

Then there's Glory at Savanaclaw dorm with the sexy and wild Savanaclaw boys. 🧡👸🦁🐗🐺

Here's also Glory at Octavinelle with the charismatic and handsome, but calculating Octavinelle boys.🤍👸🏻🐙🦈🦈

Finally, here's Glory at Scarabia with the fun, bright, but enticing Scarabia duo. 💛👸🏻🧞‍♂️🐍

Now that's out of the way. Here's the next fanart that I drew recently this week.

I changed the eyes for her cuz I find that fitting for the aesthetic of the reincarnation of Mother Gothel. Cuz I can imagine of Glory looking like Gothel with those eyes she has. But I also want her to look coy but seductive at the same time as she comes out of the coffin just like the dorm leaders from the trailer and poster. I also made a cover out of it for my OC's chatroom and QnA book which is coming up riiiiggght now....

There you go! My original cover of Glory's Chatroom and QnA book.

Welp that's all that I need to show you guys. Thanks for following me on Wattpad and I'll see you guys in the next chapter. Bye bye!
