Female narrator:

Welcome, fairy-tale friends,

to spring

at Ever After High.

Male narrator:

Where following

their true hearts

is the only thing

on students' minds.

Female narrator:

Royals with Royals,

and Rebels with Rebels.

Male narrator:

Well, it may not be

as straightforward as that.

Look at Hunter

and Ashlynn.

(chopping)

(vocalizing)

- (birds tweeting)

- Boys: Hey!

Hi.

Nyeeah!

All:

Ah! Run everyone!

Off with their buds.

Female narrator:

It seems that hearts

and destinies

don't always move

in the same direction.

"Cupid and Dexter Charming."

(sighs)

Cupie and Dexy!

Ugh!

(sighs)

Hey, Cupid.

(vocalizing)

- (music playing)

- (camera flashes)

Anyone sitting here?

Yes.

I mean no!

No one is sitting there,

and yes, you should sit there.

- Thanks.

- Shh! Quiet in the library!

The evil step-librarians

are so wicked.

Yeah, last week

they made me

re-catalogue the entire

forbidden-book section.

- (giggling)

- Shhh!

Well, look what I found.

(gasps)

"The History

of True Hearts Day"!

Thanks, Dex!

You are such a sweet...

Both:

Shhh!

And so each time

a fairy tale is told...

Cupid:

Headmaster!

My dear,

I am writing my speech for...

Love never waits!

What are you going on about?

True Hearts Day!

Where... ahem...

did you find that?

It tells

all about this totally

"hexcellent" holiday

that encourages everyone

to follow

their true heart's desire.

But it hasn't been

"spellabrated" in years.

And never will be again!

That holiday is dangerous.

But... but...

Some students might see it

as a sign

to break from their destinies.

Maybe True Hearts Day is...

Ahem.

You are not to talk

about this to anyone.

Do you understand me?

Yes, sir.

I won't say a thing.

True Hearts Day?

- (music playing)

- (camera flashes)

I don't get it.

(sighs)

(gasps)

Charades!

48 words.

A holiday that used to be

"spellabrated"

in the fairy-tale world

that encourages us

to follow

our true heart's desire

but Headmaster Grimm

doesn't want anyone

to know about it,

but you think

we should "spellabrate" it

anyway

and throw a secret underground

True Hearts Day dance?

Why didn't you just say that?

'Cause Headmaster Grimm

told me not to say anything.

Secret dance?

What if Grimm catches us?

He won't.

Come on!

It'll be happily ever awesome!

I do throw

the most "hexcellent" parties.

- Yay! We're having a secret

True Hearts Day dance!

- Shh!

(echoing)

Secret True Hearts Day dance!

Secret True Hearts Day dance!

Both: Shh!

Um, you might not

want to shout that.

You know,

being a secret and all.

(rock music playing)

♪ Sparrow!

He's the hottest guy, oh!

(rock music playing)

♪ In the fairy tale... ♪

- Whoa!

- Stop that!

- (music playing)

- (camera flashes)

Come on,

they went this way.

I'm finally

going to get some proof.

Why do you even care?

I care 'cause it's not fair.

Ashlynn

is breaking the royal rules

with her secret romance,

but she still gets

a happily ever after

and I don't!

So you got a plan?

I mean, it's not like

we're just going to find them

in some romantic mo... ment.

- (music playing)

- (camera flashes)

(gasps)

- (music playing)

- (camera flashes)

(laughs)

(tinkling)

- Say cheese.

- Huh? Ah, curses.

Oh, hey, Duchess!

Sparrow.

We didn't see you.

- (Hunter laughs)

- What's going on?

♪ You two

are totally busted! ♪

Ashlynn, Hunter.

I think the real question

is what are you two doing here?

Having a secret

romantic rendezvous?

We gotta find

a better place to picnic.

Please.

You two can't tell anyone

Hunter and I are

secretly dating.

Um, yeah, wow.

Well, I'm gonna!

Ash, this is going

to knock you down

the royal rankings.

But don't worry.

I'll take your place

and your happily ever after.

(rock chord plays)

Bummer.

♪ Princess-to-be! Oh! ♪

All:

Stop that!

(plays one note)

Cupid (filtered):

Now, my Love Tale friends,

this is the part

of the MirrorCast

where I try

to solve your romantic problems.

So, Fragile in Fairyland,

what's in your heart?

Um, well, I...

Dex?

I kind of...

no, I do...

I do have a crush

on this girl named Raven.

Raven Queen?

You have a crush on Raven Queen?

- (all gasping)

- I mean Rachel!

Rachel, yeah.

I like a girl named Rachel.

Okay, Rachel.

So you like her.

What's the problem?

Well, whenever I'm around her,

I get really tongue-tied.

Oh, okay.

Look, how about putting down

your feelings on parchment?

That is a great idea!

- I'll write her a love... poem.

- (all gasping)

Uh, ahem, thanks, Cupid.

You're the best. Bye.

No problem.

- (sighs)

- (door opens, bells jingle)

- Oh, hey!

- It's Apple White!

- (music playing)

- (camera flashes)

True Hearts Day! Aren't you

just totally "hexcited"?

It used to be

such an important holiday

on the royal calendar.

Ah, love!

Finding

our predetermined princes.

I'm sure, yeah.

Oh, sweetie, what's wrong?

You can tell me.

I mean,

we are friends forever after.

I'm not sure

you'd understand.

What?

Is it boy trouble?

Oh, wow, hey!

I am thirsty.

Um, I'm gonna go get us

a couple Hocus lattes.

Double foam,

extra apple caramel, right?

- Troll: Uh, you work here?!

- Oh!

I want these

in a size 74!

Oh.

Male narrator:

And so Dexter finished

his True Hearts poem

for Raven.

Now he just had to wait

for a response.

What's this?

- (music playing)

- (camera flashes)

It's a love poem.

Oh, a secret note!

- (music playing)

- (camera flashes)

Is there anything

more hat-tastic?

But who's it from?

"D. Charming"?

(laughing)

Ladies.

- (music playing)

- (camera flashes)

Daring?

I had no idea

he felt this way.

'Sup, brother?

Oh, gort.

Male narrator:

Love is very...

- Female: Complicated.

- Male: Yes, complicated.

Male narrator:

The path of love

is never straight.

Female narrator:

Well, it was until people

started choosing

their own stories.

Male narrator:

You must admit,

this is much more interesting.

Female narrator:

Mmm, well, let's see

what happens.

(door bells jingle)

Hey, Ashlynn.

- (music playing)

- (camera flashes)

What's up with

the urgent text message?

- Is every...

- Shh!

Sorry, Cedar,

but I need help.

- We need help.

- Uh, Hunter?

Shh!

I'm not Hunter.

I'm, uh, Gunter.

Gunter Guntsman.

(crickets chirping)

Is this about your guys'

secret relationsh...

Shh!

Yes, it is about... that.

Duchess knows,

and she's going to spell it out

for the whole school.

We don't know what to do.

Well, I always find it's best

to tell the truth.

You're right, Cedar.

Gunter Guntsman!

I got a triple mint

Hocus latte

for Gunter Guntsman!

Over here!

(motor revving)

(honking)

I got party supplies!

(honking)

C.A. Cupid!

I'm Cupid!

That's me.

(honking)

Just sign here.

Party supplies?

Why, yes,

party supplies

um, for...

Our play.

And what exactly

is the name of this play?

- It's, uh...

- All: Um... uh...

- (music playing)

- (camera flashes)

It's called

"The Play That Almost Was

And Then Wasn't

But Then Was."

Mmm.

Very well.

(sighs)

I don't know, Duchess.

It is a bombspell,

but Ash and Hunter

are my friends.

If you don't report on it,

someone else will.

(all gasping)

No, they can't own it!

Now I'll never

get my happily ever after!

Oh, hey, Duchess.

(giggling)

- Apple White: Ashlynn?

- (gasping)

You and Hunter

are... are dating?

But you're a Royal.

And he's a Rebel.

♪ Totally awkward,

oh! ♪

Female narrator:

A Royal dating a Rebel?

That's just not

how the tale is told.

Male narrator:

She followed her true heart,

which is kind of

what True Heart's Day

is all about.

So, fellow fairy tales,

Blondie Lockes here

to give you reaction

to the royally

rebellious romance.

I think it's "hexcellent."

(sobbing)

Ashlynn and Hunter

decided to rewrite

their destinies.

What's wrong with that?

Oh!

I feel for them.

I mean,

keeping secrets is hard.

- (growling)

- Ahh!

A Royal and a Rebel?

Ha!

They're from

two different worlds.

(roaring)

- I am trying

to do an interview here.

- (whimpering)

I'm worried

about Ashlynn and Hunter.

If they don't

follow their destinies,

their books

could close... forever.

(cooing)

(bell ringing)

Remember our quiz

tomorrow

on tiara size

and future neck problems.

Apple, we have to talk.

Ash, this is hard for me,

which is a first

because I usually

handle everything so very well.

- I know.

- I'm just so surprised

you didn't trust me enough

to tell me.

I didn't think

you'd understand.

I guess I don't.

It just

doesn't make sense to me.

I don't want to see

anything bad happen

to someone I care so much about.

(honking)

And so you're telling me

all these heart-shaped cakes

are for your play?

- Yeah, the play!

- Yep!

You know it!

They're for

the really funny scene

where Briar

throws them at Hopper!

- Excuse me?

- Oh, yeah.

It's such a funny scene.

I just wind up and ugh!

(chuckling)

Very well.

(both sigh)

(all chattering)

Hi, Ashlynn.

Duchess!

- What do you want?

- What do I want?

My own happily ever after,

of course.

And now that everyone knows

that you're dating a Rebel,

it looks like

there's one available.

No glass slipper for you!

Hmm!

So you're happy

about Hunter and I dating

while my best friends aren't?

Maybe I did make a mistake.

What? No!

You're totally doing

the right thing.

Follow your heart

and all that sappy stuff.

(birds chirping)

Sorry, I'm saving this

for Ashlynn.

(whistling)

Hey, Ashlynn!

Ahem.

(birds chirping)

Hunter, we need to talk.

Uh, Ashlynn?

I just... I thought this

would be a good thing,

showing everyone

we were dating.

I thought it would

take the pressure off.

But now

everything is worse.

What are you saying?

My friends are upset.

I don't know what's going

to happen to our stories.

- Yeah, but...

- Hunter,

I don't want anything bad

to happen to us... to you.

I think...

I think we should break up.

I'm sorry.

Male narrator:

And so as the sun set

on Ever After High...

(snoring)

(sighs)

Female narrator: The students

were getting fairest

- for the big dance.

- (sneezes)

Meow!

(gasps)

Ooh!

(playing rock beat)

Sparrow?

I need you to help me ruin

the True Hearts dance tonight.

What? Why?

Briar is planning it.

And if I can get her in trouble

with Headmaster Grimm,

then there'll be a new opening

in the royal ranks.

You know what?

I am done with you.

What's ruffled your feathers?

I, Sparrow Hood,

the rockingest,

handsomest guy in this school,

can't find out

where the dance is.

No one will tell me

'cause I'm friends with you.

Well, someone around here

must know something.

You really think anyone's

going to tell you the truth?

(pages rustling)

There's one person

at this school who's cursed to.

(rock beat playing)

(gasps)

- Raven, over here.

- Wow, Briar, you really know

how to throw

the most "hexcellent" parties.

- I had some help.

- Ha ha! I, uh...

...appreciate your kind kudos,

fair maiden.

(giggling)

Hey, guys,

who's D.J.ing tonight?

We got the daughter

of the Pied Piper.

Melody Piper?!

(all cheering)

What up, Ever After?

Ready for me to drop

some True Hearts tunes?

All:

Yay!

Then follow me.

(techno beat playing)

This Next Chapter Day

saw a 30% rise

in our semi-magical

creature attendance...

- Duchess: Psst!

- ...rates, which,

when you compare that to...

Psst!

Excuse me.

Duchess Swan,

I'm addressing

the entire magical community

on the MirrorNet

at this very moment.

I know.

And I'm so sorry

to disturb you.

But there's something

I just thought you had

to know about.

Which is?

I hate to tell on my friends,

but some students

are having a secret

True Hearts Day dance.

Show me where.

Ahh!

(rock music playing)

So 300 autographs later,

my quill finally gives out.

- But there are

100 more girls in line...

- Daring?

Daring?

Uh, can we talk for a minute?

- Of course, yes.

- I wanted to thank you

for that poem

you left on my locker.

Um, I never wrote you a poem.

You didn't?

But it says right here...

"D. Charming."

(gasps)

Dexter!

- Hi, Dex!

- (Daring laughing)

So...

not exactly

a happy True Hearts Day, huh?

Why does my brother

always get the girl?

It's not fair.

Maybe you should

stop thinking so much

about your brother

and, um,

concentrate on someone else.

- Uh, who?

- You.

You spend so much time

comparing yourself to Daring,

you forget you're great

just the way you are.

- Really.

- Cross my heart.

Thanks, Cupid.

It was Dexter!

Can you believe it?

Dex, he's so sweet

and cute.

And I'm gonna tell him that I...

(gasps)

(music slows to an end)

I'm too late.

Where is this party?

Not much further.

(rock music playing)

Give it up

for Melody Piper!

(all cheering)

Now since True Hearts Day

hasn't been "spellabrated"

in such a long time,

I wanted to tell everyone

what it's all about.

Once upon a time,

there grew a very special tree...

the Heart Tree.

And even if the winter

was harsh

and the other trees

failed to bloom,

the Heart Tree

blossomed no matter what.

And so

our fairy-tale ancestors

gave the blossoms to each other

on True Hearts Day

to show that even though

it's not always easy,

true love

will always find a way.

And so

to encourage all of us

to follow our true heart...

(whistling)

(all gasping)

Make sure to give yours

to someone special to you.

Can I... Hunter?

When I listen

to my true heart,

it tells me that

you're my Prince Charming.

Aw!

But how can you be a Royal

and date Hunter?

I don't know.

But if writing

our own happily ever after

means I can't be a Royal,

then call me

Ashlynn Ella, the Rebel!

- (all cheering)

- (gasps)

I'd like to give this

to you, Hunter,

if you'll have it.

Of course.

(all cheering)

Apple!

I'm so sorry.

I just had to do what...

Why are you giving this

to me?

I might be worried about you,

and I might think

you're doing the wrong thing,

but I want you to know

that we'll always be friends,

no matter what.

That's what's in my true heart.

Thanks, Apple.

You're the best.

(giggling)

I know.

This is literally

the best day ever.

I'm gonna do it.

I'm gonna do it.

Don't be a worry flurry.

Let's party!

(laughing)

Mine, mine, mine,

mine, mine.

Hmm.

Hey, Cupid,

have you seen Cedar?

I can't find her anywhere.

Oh, Cedar had something

royally important to do tonight.

(rock music playing)

There it is.

Humph!

(sighs)

(music continues)

- Hyah!

- (chord plays)

Dudes,

trying to practice here.

Miss Swan!

Detention!

What?

Where are they?

♪ You totally got

what you deserved! ♪

Yeah.

Cerise: You told Cedar

the wrong spot

'cause you knew Duchess

would try to get it out of her.

(giggling)

Yep.

Then she left me a note

back in the dorm

telling me the real party

was here.

Male narrator:

Now that is a happy ending.

Female narrator:

I have to say,

my true heart agrees.

(vocalizing)
