EAH: Tale Of Swan Lake

Chapter 3

"Let's just say the smell of love got too much for her." Catlin said.

"Oh...Well then I guess we're just gonna have to make this play make her love the smell of love." Cupid said determined.

"Yeah." Briar said.

*Later*

Ashlynn is walking through town square looking down and upset. She notices Apple in the hair salon. Dutchess walks and stands beside her.

"Hi Ashlynn." She said.

"Dutchess, what do you want?" Ashlynn asked walking away from her, but Dutchess hopes in front of her.

"What do I want? My own happily ever after of course." Dutchess said as Ashlynn walks away from her but she follows. "And now that everyone knows that you're dating a rebel, it looks like there's one available. No glass slipper for you. Hmp!" Dutchess said.

"So you're happy about Hunter and I dating while my best friends aren't, maybe I did make a mistake." Ashlynn said walking away.

"What? No! You're totally the right thing follow your heart! and all that sappy stuff." Dutchess said.

*Castleteria*

Humphrey Dumpty tried to take a seat with Cedar, Cerise, Roberth and Hunter.

"Sorry I'm saving that seat." Hunter said and Humphrey left. Hunter whistles and woodlen creatures prepared a plate and cutlery.

"Woah dude aren't you becoming a full on romantic?" Roberth teases making Hunter blush. Ashlynn walks into the Castleteria.

"Hey Ashlynn!*Ahem*" he cleared his throat and birds flew down dropping flowers making a flowery path for Ashlynn. She walks over to him looking a little sad.

"Hunter. We need to talk." Ashlynn said making Roberth drop his chip eyes widened in surprise.

"Uh,oh. That doesn't sound good." He said.

"Uh, Ashlynn?" Hunter said.

Everyone looked confused and followed the couple as well to the hallway.

"I just, I thought that this would be a good thing showing everyone we were dating. I thought it would take the pressure off, but now... everything is worse." Ashlynn said.

"What are you saying?" Hunter asked.

"My friends are upset. I don't know what's going to happen to our stories." Ashlynn said.

"Yeah, but."

Ashlynn takes his hand."Hunter. I don't want anything bad to happen to us, to you. I think...we should break up." She said gently pushing him away, shocking poor Hunter. She took of the flower crown he made for her.

"I'm sorry." She said and she walked away on the verge of crying. Princess feeling horrible rushed after her to at least comfort her friend.

Roberth stood beside Hunter and put his arm over Hunter's shoulder. "Let's go Hunter." He said taking the sad Hunter away from the crowd leaving a guilty Apple behind.

And so as the sun set on Ever After High.

Briar is snoring away as the fairies brush her hair. Ashlynn, as she powders her face she notices a picture of her and Hunter and she looks down sadly.

The students were getting fairest  of the big dance.

Cedar was rubbing her cheek and the dust as she did so her dust got into Cerise's nose making her sneeze causing a cloud of powder to appear.

Apple's doves tied a ribbon on her outfit, removed the curlers and dropped her crown on her haid, while Raven snapped her fingers and her ravens put her headphones on her ears and one gave her her mirror pad.

Catlin was going through her closet looking for something to wear, while Princess was putting on her make up. Catlin comes out with a silly outfit and hat in front of her body, Princess notices and burst out laughing.

Cupid threw down a rope of sheets and climbed down, she climbs to Grimms window and gasps making her way down faster before landing on the ground, Blondie locks on the other hand falls on her butt.

The students run over the bridge to the party.Meanwhile Sparrow is strumming on his guitar by the fountain as a black swan approaches him, it turns into Dutchess and she skips towards him.

"Sparrow. I need you to help me ruin the true hearts dance tonight." She said.

"What! Why?" He asked.

"Briar is planning it and if I can get her in trouble in trouble with Headmaster Grimm then, there'll be a new opening in the royal ranks." Dutchess explained making Sparrow  a little frustrated.

"You know what, I am done. With you." He said.

"What's ruffled your feathers?" Dutchess asked.

"I. Sparrow Hood. The rockingest, Handsomest guy in this school can't find out where the dance is! No one will tell me coz I'm friends with you." He said.

"Well someone around here must know something." Dutchess said.

"You really think anyone's gonna tell you the truth." He asked. Dutchess heard a rustling of paper and turns to see Cedar.

"There's one person at this school who's cursed to." Dutchess said with a glint in her eyes.
