The students prepared for their parents to arrive for Parents' Week. Two air mattresses were set up in each room for the students to sleep on while their famous parents were at school.

"Huh, that's funny," Maddie told Kitty as the lavender- haired girl attempted to blow up the two air mattresses that would be in that room all week.

"What?" Kitty asked, slightly annoyed at her girlfriend for not helping her.

"I can't hear the narrator anymore!" Maddie folded her arms and plopped on the half-inflated air mattress, letting a good amount of air out of it. .

"Now that you mention it, neither can I." Kitty gave her a look before going back to inflating the makeshift bed from hell.

They could no longer hear the narrator because this is a fanfiction, and as such, does not follow the rules of a normal story. Yes, yes, go ahead and patch up your precious 4th wall everyone. You're just wasting your time. As the narrator, I'm going to run it over with a bulldozer at some point later in this story. I just know it. 4th walls quiver before me!

Anyway, Apple was nervous about Parents' Week. She knew that Snow White and the Good King would most likely arrive together, being family and all. She hoped that her mother and Raven could at least make it to the dorm before they exploded at each other.

Not many people knew it, but the White family was... well, there's really no other word for it then dysfunctional.

You see, the Evil Queen had wanted to infiltrate Snow White's home to better torture her rival. She ended up marrying Snow's father, the Good King, when she and Snow were 20. She had, of course, used a love potion on him. Their "romance" was short-lived, as not even the most powerful sorceress can create real love from a bottle, and not long after Raven was born, they divorced.

Snow still hated the Evil Queen for what she had done. She tended to take it out on much younger half-sister, since her "stepmother" had long since been imprisoned in the mirror realm. Snow was also still mad at her father for marrying the woman who has thrice attempted to kill her in the first place. So yeah, any time Apple's mother and Raven's father for together, especially Raven herself was involved, things got messy.

Apple was just glad her father wasn't going to be there. He took his hatred of the young sorceress a little too far a few years back. When Apple was 10, he had reportedly tried to kill the girl one day that summer with a frying pan. Snow had blown up at Raven over something minor, and she ran to the kitchen to calm herself down before her powers got out of control. Apple's father, seeing his beloved so angry, tried to help by following Raven into the kitchen. He grabbed the first thing he could find, which happened to be the pan in question, and flung it at her. Thankfully, Raven was on the other side of the kitchen, and it only hit her leg. When the cook saw what he had done, she called the police immediately and the young princess was rushed to the hospital. Apple hadn't seen her father since that day.

Huh, is is bad that I laughed at that last paragraph? Anywhoozle, back to the story!

The blonde shuddered as she recalled that day. She had been traumatized hearing about it. She couldn't imagine what Raven had gone through actually experiencing it.

"Apple, can you help me with this real quick?" Raven asked from across the room, head covered completely by a limp mattress.

"Sure, just give me a second to finish with this one!" Apple called back, turning her attention back to the motorized pump. She turned it on, then want and grabbed the air mattress off her roommate's head, revealing a snarled rat's nest of hair that obscured half of her face.

"I'll get this," Apple told her. "You go brush your hair."

"I'd rather deal with the mattress," Raven grumbled as she walked into the bathroom, hairbrush in hand.

"There's a bottle of detangling hairspray on my dresser you can use," Apple called to her aunt. Yes, through awkward circumstances and a quadruple dose of oddly good quality love potion, Raven was technically her aunt. She didn't like to think about it.

"Where are you going?" Darling asked Rosabella as a she tried to leave their dorm.

"I'm going to meet Ramona one more time before our parents get here," Rosabella said, opening the door.

"Well I'm not setting up your air mattress." Darling flopped on her bed and pulled her phone out. She was most likely texting Apple.

Rosabella just stuck her tongue out at the knight before closing the door and heading into the Enchanted Forest.

Rosabella got to the clearing where the girls had met so many times before to avoid detection, and saw Ramona Badwolf standing there. She couldn't help the smile that crept onto her face as she picked up the pace a little bit.

Ramona pulled Rosabella in and kissed her deeply. Rosabella, of course, melted into it.

When they pulled away, Rosabella looked around for a second and face palmed.

"What?" Ramona asked her girlfriend.

"We don't have food. It's lunch time," Rosabella said. Ramona was about to respond when she heard someone coming.

"Hide," she whispered sharply, pulling her girlfriend into a bush.

They watched through the leaves, still as statues, as Cerise Hood came running into the clearing. She paced there for a second before pulling her phone out.

She looked up for a second and looked around, acting like she was taking a deep breath but really trying to subtly sniff the air, before returning to her phone.

A minute later, Daring Charming walked into the clearing.

"Cerise," he said. "I got your message. What happened?"

"Nothing happened," Cerise said, pulling the prince in and hugging him. "I just need to tell you something before Parents' Week starts."

"Sure, what is it?" He took both of her hands into his.

"Okay, so it's about my parents..." she began. "I want you to meet them sometime this week if you're comfortable with that obviously, but there's something you need to know first." She stopped and took a deep breath, then almost gagged.

"Ramona and I'm guessing Rosabella, get out of that bush," she said, facing the exact spot where the girls were hiding. They both stood up, Rosabella's face colored a light shade of pink.

"How did you know we were in there?" Ramona asked her sister.

"I've known from the start, I just couldn't stand the smell of blood and roses anymore." Cerise wrinkled her nose in a way that Daring thought was really cute (not that he would admit it in front of two other people).

"For the last time, I do not smell like blood!" Ramona growled.

"You kind of do..." Rosabella said, trying to hide behind Ramona's arm. Ramona gave her a small glare, but said nothing.

"Just... leave." Cerise at the way back to school.

"Fine," Ramona grumped as she turned and walked away. Rosabella gave both a small apologetic wave before turning and following her girlfriend.

"Doesn't she smell the blood thing all the time?" Rosabella asked as they walked. "What's so different about now?"

"Nerves," Ramona answered. "She's probably telling Daring about our whole family situation, which would make her nervous. Whenever either of us gets nervous, our more wolfish senses go batshit crazy."

"Got it. Wait, why do you smell like blood anyway? Even I smell it sometimes."

"How should I know? Maybe I've gone hunting with my dad too many times...?" Ramona shrugged, really not caring. "Either way, Cerise points it out all the time and it's anoying as fuck."

Rosabella stopped walking. They were a good distance away from school, still, close enough that it wouldn't take more than 2 minutes to get back but far enough away not to be seen by anyone. "Go ahead, we're not too far from school anyway. I don't want anyone to see us walking out of the woods together. They might get suspicious."

"Whatever. Text you later?" Ramona kissed Rosabella before continuing down the path.

"Yeah," Rosabella said.

Meanwhile, Cerise was attempting to explain her family life to Daring.

"So my family is... weird," Cerise began. She pulled her hood down. Daring tried and failed to hold in a gasp.

"My mom married the Big Bad Wolf which means that he's my dad," Cerise said. "You can break up with me if you want to, I don't care. Well I actually do care, but- Look, just don't tell anyone."

"Why would I break up with you?" Daring asked. He grabbed her shoulders. "Cerise, I love you for you. I don't care who your dad is. I mean, not going to lie, the fact that Mr Badwolf is your father terrifies me because I've acted like such an idiot around him in the past 3 years... but that's not the point. The point is, I'm not breaking up with you. Besides, if anything, the ears make you look even cuter."

He kissed her, running his hands through her long brown hair. Cerise, of course, kissed back. When they pulled apart, they stayed in each other's arms for a long time, talking about bookball, of all things.

Ye, so, quick thing, lemme explain the roommate situation. They are as follows: Apple and Raven, Kitty and Maddie, Lizzie and Bunny (not all that important I guess), Briar and Faybelle, Justine and Melody, Ramona and Cerise, Darling and Rosabella, Poppy and Holly, Duchess and Cedar, Blondie and Cupid. Anyone else is irrelevant to the story. Actually, some of this shit might be irrelevant. Idfk anymore.
