Y/N: Wow. This is....insane.

You stood in witness at the entire festival that was currently being held at Ever After High. It was all for the Kingdom Games, and it was absolutely glorious.

Brair: It's even better than Sping Fairest. Not that you would know.

True. You were trapped in Wonderland at the time. But the festival here was still cool. Booths with food were lined up alongside booths with games and other shops. There were rides that were also provided for fun times for all and several large Mirrors were being set up to give everyone a view of the games when they started tomorrow.

Holly: Oh, by the way, did you ever get your uniforms?

Holly O'Hair, daughter of Rapunzel.

Poppy: I heard that you guys were going retro.

Poppy O'Hair, other daughter of Rapunzel. Also the only person allowed to touch your hair with any kind of clippers.

Y/N: Yeah, retro is definitely the word for it.

You groaned when you remembered what they were. Still, it was pretty cool to be a part of something like this. Come tomorrow, all eyes would be on you and the other Champions. Of course, the main Kingdoms will be participating. Ever After High, Wonderland High, Neverland High, and Oz. But, there were bound to be more families entering champions. You were hoping Asi would, but you haven't gotten word on them yet. And you wondered if the Charmings would enter.

But seeing all the great Kingdoms come together like this was pumping you up.

You walked with the twins and Brair to look around at the festival since you had a free hour. You definitely wanted to walk with Lizzie eventually, and maybe even Darling, Hunter, and Cerise. You wanted to walk with everyone. You really just wanted to actually enjoy school this year. No crazy adventures, no wacky fights, just fun school times.

Granted, Jadis is still on the loose, but the adults were handling that.....for once.

Still, this was all off to a great start.

Kitty: Oh, I like it~

Oswalt was trying in his uniform for the Games. He messed with the brace a bit before he sighed. This was just....really exposing.

Oswalt: I don't know if I like it.

Kitty and Ruby sat on his bed and watched as Oswalt moved his prosthetic hand around. It blended in well enough, and he was pretty satisfied with how it looked. The uniform itself, however...

He snapped his fingers, turning his clothes back to normal and grabbing his hat.

Ruby: But Braum was a bit of a surpise. I never knew.

Oswalt: Seems only Ozma and mum knew. But, she's back at Oz trying to regain her strength.

Kitty: Makes sense. Being a Griffin for so long must've been a lot.

Before Oswalt could comment, he found an arm around his own.

Kitty: Now enough showing off. You get to escort us around the festival.

Oswalt: "Us?"

Ruby joined him on his other side with a smile.

Ruby: Us. Kitty said lunch was on you.

Oswalt gave his beloved a look of disappointment, but Kitty was already used to it and instead began to drag him along.
-------------
Man: Step right up! Test your might!

You and Brair walked towards a test of might machine while Poppy and Holly got some food from one of the booths. Brair nudged you and pointed to the hammer.

Brair: I bet you can't get the high score.

You raised a brow. Was she being serious?

Y/N: I think I tested my might when I saved Ever After High........the last three times.

Brair: But what about the hammer?

You rolled your eyes and paid the man. You then took the large hammer and took a step back. High score. It was 100. Easy. You could get that for sure.

You took a deep breath and lifted the hammer, bringing it down with your strength, sending the ball straight up to the top. You and Brair watched the numbers began to rise until they reached 1000!

The man's jaw dropped while the previous high score holder, a large man who was a blacksmith, just dropped his head and walked away. You smirked and rested the hammer on your shoulder.

Y/N: Too easy.

Oswalt: Was it now?

You and Brair turned around to see Oswalt, Kitty, and Ruby walking towards you. Oswalt smiled as he looked at your score.

Oswalt: Hand me the hammer, pipsqueak.

You frowned and tossed him the hammer. Oswalt got a feel for it's weight and approached the machine. He slid a foot back, took a breath, and slammed the hammer down. You all watched as the number skyrocketed to an easy 1500. Oswalt spun the hammer around before resting against it. He looked back at you with a knowing smirk.

Y/N: Not a chance.

You took the hammer back and quickly hit the machine again. The score this time was 2000.

Ruby: Here we go.
---------
After going back and forth for almost a whole hour, now gaining an audience to watch your seemingly impossible feats, the highest score was now at a whopping 10000.

Y/N: Beat that, you loser.

Oswalt: I will!

Kitty: Not.

You were both suddenly smacked in the back of your heads. Kitty placed her fists on her hips and looked at the two of you.

Kitty: You two broke the machine. Now no one else can use it.

You both looked at the beaten machine before looking to the man who was in charge of running it. He was on his hands and knees crying.

Y/N: Oh. Uh, sorry.

Oswalt: Apologies.

Looks like you got carried away. You turned to Oswalt and smiled.

Y/N: Well, guess we can go and get something to snack on now.

Braum: And it'll be on me.

You all turned to see Braum approaching you. A few onlookers were struck by her beauty while everyone else seemed surpised to see another natural born Ozzian. You smiled and waved.

Y/N: Hey, Braum. What are you doing here?

Braum stopped and shrugged.

Braum: It's been a while since I got to see a festival in person.

She then looked to Kitty.

Braum: And you must be the oh so famous daughter of Cheshire.

Kitty: Why so you say it like that?

Braum: Let's just say your mother and I didn't have the best relationship. Doubt it would be better if we were meet again.

Kitty's interest was immediately peaked. What happened? Then again, it was her mother, so it was probably just her mother being her mother. She turned to Oswalt who shrugged.

Braum: Well, let's go get some grub.

She began to walk off, leaving the rest of you to follow.
-------------
Braum: I see you got your father's eating habits.

You chowed down on a bowl of Asi noodles. Your fourth bowl of noodles. It was just so good. You didn't really get to enjoy Asi food when you were there due to everything happening. But it was pretty good.

Oswalt, on the other hand, was eating at a more human pace. Braum had already finished her bowl, but she decided against ordering another. The chef seemed stressed enough dealing with your order for endless food.

Darling: Looks like he's back at it.

You slurped the last of your noodles and looked over as Darling and her brothers joined your small group at the noodle stand. You smiled and high five your friend.

Y/N: What's up, Princess?

Darling: Just the usual. Chased odd three suitors on my way here.

Y/N: Sounds like fun.

Oswalt noticed their clothes and their general presence at the festival.

Oswalt: So, the Charming Family really did join after all.

You sat up.

Y/N: You did?

Daring just smiled, everyone around shielding their eyes from the flash.

Daring: Of course we did. And this year, we get to have our sister join us.

He threw an arm around Darling and Dexter and pulled them in for a mock huddle.

Daring: The Charming Children will be dominating the competition!

Braum looked at the three and whispered to herself.

Braum: The Charmings?

Y/N: Bold to make that claim to the competition.

Darling just smiled.

Dexter: So we're all competing against each other? That means four of the Fellowship will be in the games.

Oswalt: Four?

Darling: Hunter and Cerise were picked to represent Ever After High.

Wow. That would mean you would be going against your friends. Only Farriah wasn't picked as a champion.

Y/N: Wow. I just keep getting pumped!

You turned back to the cook.

Y/N: Another bowl, my good sir!

The chef started to cry as he got to work making another bowl. The tears added to the flavour.

Oswalt: You're a menace.

You just grinned.

Braum: I guess we'll see how it goes tomorrow. I'll be expecting a lot from Charles' kids. Don't let me down.

The three siblings looked to Braum confused.

Daring: Who is that and why does she know our father by name?

Y/N: It's a long story.
-------------
The day had finally arrived. It was early in the morning when you stood at Oz's designated locker room as you got dressed. The uniform was really exposing, but it was also "retro", so you didn't particularly mind.

Oswalt: This is embarrassing.

Braum: Just enjoy it. Besides, everyone will be more focused on what we do rather than what we wear.

Y/N: I'm just excited. Whatever the first competition is, I know we'll kill it!

The event will be announced and explained before your team would pick who would participate in it. Each event was worth three points for first, two for second, and 1 for third. Everyone else would get no points, meaning the winner was decided by whoever has the most points at the end of the Games.

The competition would be tough, that was certain, but you were ready.

You all exited the locker rooms and made your way up to the stadium where all the other teams were waiting. And thanks the magic of the Godmothers in Training, the area was changed to represent the grounds where the first games were held.

Braum: You boys ready?

Oswalt: Let's get to work.

Y/N: Yeah, let's go!

Let the games begin.

The End Is Just The Beginning...
