Male Narrator:

Once upon a time...

In a faraway land...

I am Raven Queen,

daughter of the evil queen.

And I pledge...

Um, I...

Come on, do it.

I...

Male Narrator:
All eyes were on Raven.

As she faced.
The most important choice...

- Female
Narrator: Really? You're gonna start there?



At Legacy Day?

Male Narrator: - You know there's.
Only really room.

For one narrator here.

Female Narrator:
Start at the beginning,

Where the whole.
Rebel and Royal drama began.

Male Narrator:

Oh fine. Gather 'round,

friends,

and let us tell you a story,

the story.
Of Ever After High.

Male Narrator:

A high school for the teenage

sons and daughters...

Of the most famous

fairy-tale characters...

Who ever lived.

Whoa.

Male Narrator:

But this year was

like no other

For the students

of Ever After High.

It was the year of Legacy Day...

A momentous event

where the students pledge

to all the magical world

to follow the same paths

as their fairy-tale parents.

Female Narrator:
Which they better do, or else.

Male Narrator:

I'm sorry. Who's telling

this story? If you don't...

Would you two

stop fighting?

Peas and crackers.

Um, who are

you talking to?

Why, the narrators.

Oh, you can't hear them,

Raven. Only I can.

Okay.

Can I talk now?

Mm-hmm.

It's just... I'm sick of everyone

thinking I'm so evil

because my mom was.

It's not fair!

No one thinks you're evil.

Now you're just talking crazy.

The daughter of the Mad Hatter.

Calls me crazy?

Would you stop.
With the worry flurry?

Everyone at school

loves you.

It's Raven Queen!

Run!

She is evil!

Run, everyone.

See? They love you.

Yay! Tea time.

Earl Grey.

Oh, you clever dormouse.
Why yes,

This is a new dress.

Male Narrator:

And so, life for Raven

was not easy,

feeling alone and isolated.

Female Narrator:

As it should be.

She is destined to be evil.

Male Narrator:

Couldn't go 20 seconds

without talking, could you?

Hey, Raven, uh...

You look gort.
I mean great.

I... I don't even.
Know what gort is.

I'd offer you a seat,

but I'm evil.

To sit here, you'd have

to be pretty...

...daring.

Oh, Daring.

What? No, Raven.

I'm Dex.

Dexter Charming.

Daring's my bro... ther.

Oh, gort.

Raven, how's every

enchanted thing?

Apple White,

good to see you.

Hey, Daring.

I, uh, have to warn you.

Don't stare at the teeth.

Just got them whitened.

Oh, oh, there's the bell.

Time for.
Good Kingdom Management.

Raven, what's.
Your next class?

Uh, History of Evil Spells.

That is so

perfect for you.

Hey, Cerise,

how's it going?

(Growls,

Oh, uh, sorry.

I... I have a cold.

Free food!

Male Narrator:

That night as Raven

returned to her dorm,

she found quite the surprise

waiting for her.

Hey, Maddie.

Welcome home, roomie.

Huh, good one, Apple.

I'm rooming with.
Maddie this year.

Not anymore.

Since you're such

an important part

of my story...

You poison me.
I fall asleep.

The prince wakes you.
With a kiss, blah blah blah.

Yada yada, I know. So?

So I asked Headmaster Grimm

if we could live together.

And he said yes.

Isn't that enchanting?

Uh, but... but...

Oh, oh, oh.

You are going to love

rooming with me.

I'm thoughtful.
And beautiful.

And I sing the most.
Wonderful songs.

About woodland creatures.

♪ Oh the doves

love to fly.

And the hares

love to burrow. ♪

Move along.

Move along.

Nothing to see here.

And I already decorated

your half of the room.

Apple:
Isn't it just the evilest?

I knew you'd love it.

This is gonna

be a long year.

Male Narrator:

Which brings us to

the rehearsals

for the Legacy Day ceremony.

So when your magical.
Key appears,

You insert it gently

into the Storybook of Legends,

then stand shoulders back

and declare your destiny

to the world.

Have I made myself clear?

Headmaster Grimm,

but what if...

No questions? Good.

Now, we're going to practice

with this tiny manual

of entirely

reasonable school rules.

Milton Grimm:

Who will go first?

I, Madeline Hatter,

pledge to follow the destiny

of dear old Dad,

the Mad Hatter of Wonderland.

When do I drink the tea?

Milton Grimm:
Next!

I'm Hunter Huntsman and

I pledge to follow my destiny

as the next Huntsman.

I'll swing my axe bravely and...

Really, Pesky?
You want to play that way?

Milton Grimm:
Next.

I'm... I'm Cedar Wood

and I pledge

to follow my destiny and.
Be the next Pinocchio.

Well, I mean, not

the next Pinocchio.

I mean, actually,

I can only tell the truth

while I'm in school,

but then one day...
One day, I'm gonna lie.

Uh, but does that mean

that I'm gonna be like my dad

or not like my dad?

Milton Grimm:
Next.

I'm Raven Queen

and I pledge to

follow my destiny as...

Um, I have a question.

What is it?

I was just wondering,
I mean,

What if I don't

want to take the pledge?

What? It's just a question.

And here's your answer.

If you don't

pledge your destiny,

your story ceases

to exist.

Ceases to exist?

So then what happens to me?

You will cease to exist.

Poof.

Now, Raven, continue.

But, Mr. Grimm...

Poof, poof!

Um...

I have to go.

What about her destiny?

Milton Grimm:
Now, settle down, everyone.

Male Narrator:
In the Vault of Lost Tales,

Deep beneath the school,

another was listening.

Male Narrator:

Giles Grimm, the brother

of the school's headmaster.

The Raven flies.

The clouds, they sing.

But what should happen

when the tide roles in?

Male Narrator:

What will happen, indeed?

Female Narrator:

Are you done? Can I tell

my side of the story now?

Male Narrator:

If you must. Go on..

Female Narrator:

In a faraway land,

all eyes were on Apple

as she made the most important

declaration of her life.

I am Apple White,

daughter of Snow White.

And I am ready

to pledge my destiny.

Male Narrator: - Of course you'd start.
With Apple,

Always playing favorites.

Start at the beginning

of the school year.

Female Narrator:
Oh, fine.

Gather 'round, friends,

and let us tell you a story,

the story of.

Ever After High.

A high school.

For the teenage sons. And daughters...
Hmph.

Of the most famous.
Fairy-tale characters.

Who ever lived.

Female Narrator: - But this year.
Was like no other.

For the students.
Of Ever After High.

For it is

the year of Legacy Day,

a momentous event

where the students

pledge to all

the magical world

to follow the same paths

as their fairy-tale parents.

I can't believe it.

Legacy happens this year

and there is just

ever so much to do.

Totally, right?

I mean, this year's

after-party is gonna

be a page ripper.

I heard D.J. N-Chant is...

Briar.

It's not just.
About the party.

This is destiny.

Future queen!

We can't let anyone post

embarrassing pictures of us

on MyChapter.

Hey, daughter

of Sleeping Beauty.

If I'm gonna be catching "z's"
for a hundred years,

I got to live it up now.

And come on.

No one would post.
Anything bad about you.

Everybody loves you.

It's Apple White.

Gorgeous.

Tiny:

Can I carry your books?

Why, Tiny, aren't you

the sweetest little thing?

Thank you.

See? They love you.

Oh, oh.

I don't want to miss a minute.
Of our first day.

Hi, everybody.

Briar: - Hey, what's up?
Howdy.

Hey, Prince Daring.

Um, why are you holding

your hand over your mouth?

Well, you see, I just

got my teeth whitened.

And Headmaster Grimm said

I can't show people, 'cause...

But your smile

is so charming.

Well, you know...

Ah! My eyes!

I can't see!
Ah!

Tiny:

I'm okay.

Apple, Daring...

So any juicy dating details

for my mirror-cast show?

Talk to the mirror.

Blondie, Daring and I

are still not a couple.

This is high school.

We've got "forever after"

to be together.

But you two are

the perfect couple...

Not too this,

not too that.

You're just right.

Come on, Apple.
Let's go get some lunch.

Charm you later.

Oh, oh.

Female Narrator:
And so that night,

Back in the Ever After dorms,

Apple had a surprise waiting

for her new roommate.

You think Raven's.
Gonna like this?

Of course.

What future evil queen.
Wouldn't love...

An evil throne, an evil crown,

and an evil haunted mirror?

True, but why are you

doing this for Raven?

Because she's such

an important part

of my story.

When she poisons me,

it changes everything.

Then the Prince can wake me

and I become queen.

That's when I get.
My "happily ever after."

I need her.

Raven: - Hey, Maddie?

Uh, quick, hide.

I don't want Raven to know.
You helped me.

I'll go out the window.

I've never done that before.

Whee!

Welcome home, roomie.

Huh, good one, Apple.

I'm rooming with Maddie.
This year.

Not anymore.

Huh?

Man!

I am good-looking.

Whee!

Daring, how'd you know

I was gonna be here?

Catching damsels.
In distress...

It's kind of my thing.

Well, that was a total rush!

Stay here.
I'm going again!

Hey, you want to get

a Hocus Latte?

Uh, that sounds magical.

I love mine with nutmeg.

How do you like yours?

Oh, I like a lotta,

lotta, lotta,
lotta, lotta cream.

Hey.
Hi, Ashlynn.

Want to go on

a nature hike later?

I haven't been.
In the woods in days?

And it just feels so good

to get back to what really

matters.

I got a shipment here

of 300 new shoes

for the Glass Slipper.

New shoes?!

Where?

It's a shoe thing.

Well, she is.

Cinderella's daughter.

Ooh, time for our.
Legacy Day rehearsal.

I can't wait for everyone

to get a glimpse of the queen

I am going to become.

Female Narrator:
But what Apple didn't know.

Was that Raven Queen

had other plans...

Male Narrator: - That would change.
The world.

For the better.
For the worse.

So when your magical key.
Appears,

You insert it gently

into the Storybook of Legends,

then stand shoulders back

and declare your destiny

to the world.

Have I made myself clear?

But what if...
No questions? Good.

Who will go first?

Ooh, me, me, me.

Mm, ah, ooh, ooh.

Step right this way,

my future queen.

I am Apple White.

And I pledge to

follow my destiny

as the next Snow White.

Perfect.

I know.

I am Briar Beauty.

And I pledge to follow

in my mom's footsteps

and sleep for

a hundred years.

But before I do,

I'm gonna live every minute!

Ooh, speaking of which,

my dorm room Friday night,

we're gonna blow the roof

off the place.

Milton Grimm:
Next.

Hey, there.

Charming, Daring Charming.

I pledge to be just

like my old man, King Charming.

Brave, good-looking,

kind, good-looking,

thoughtful,

and good-looking.

Next.

I'm Raven Queen.

And I pledge to

follow my destiny as...

Um, I have a question.

What is it?

I was just wondering,
I mean,

What if I don't want

to take the pledge?

She has to do it.

I mean, if she never

poisons me, then I'll

never fall asleep.

And I'll never be kissed.
By my Prince.

And I'll never become queen.

And I'll never have

my "happily ever after."

Now, Raven,

erase that dangerous

idea from your head.

Continue.

I have to go.

What?
Hey, what about her destiny?

The rules...

I mean, the rules!

Female Narrator:

And so Apple took

refuge that night

in the enchanted forest,

Wondering what would

become of her destiny

should Raven not follow hers.

Headmaster Grimm?

Forgive me for

startling you, my dear.

I need you to keep an eye

on your roommate, Raven.

We must follow the paths

set out before us.

It's the only way to keep

our world safe.

Please, watch Raven

and convince her of this.

I know you'll do

whatever it takes.

I'll...

Female Narrator:

And so...

on the grave portent about

to befall Ever After High...

Male Narrator:

Must you always be so dramatic?

Female Narrator:

Must you always ruin

my ominous endings?

Male Narrator:

You're always taking

the Royals' side.

Female Narrator:
I mean, I'm known.

For my endings.

Female Narrator:

And so here we are...

Legacy Day,

where the students

of Ever After High signed

the Storybook of Legends,

pledging to follow

the paths

of their fairy-tale parents.

Male Narrator:
Or not.

Female Narrator:
Seriously? I'm narrating here.

Maddie, you have to help me.

I don't feel like I can

sign the Storybook of Legends,

but I don't want.
To let everyone down, either.

And do not forget the whole,

"If you don't sign,

your story disappears.
Poof!

And you may vanish.
Into oblivion."

That's a thing, you know,
And it's gotta hurt.

But we don't know.
If that's true.

But what if it is?
But what if it's not?

But what if it is?

You're not helping.

Wait a tick.

- ♪ I think I know.
Who can help! ♪

No, but see...

I am totally a Royal.

Raven!

There you are.

We have to talk.

Come back!

Apple, where are

you going?

I have to convince Raven

to sign the book.

My destiny depends on it.

Raven?

If anyone knows the truth.
About the Storybook of Legends,

It's Giles Grimm.

Feathers and friends,

together, alone.

He's speaking Riddlish.

He was cursed.
With a babble spell.

Makes him sound. You know,
bru-ru-ru, cuckoo.

He says it's nice

to have us here.

Ask him about the book.

If I don't sign,

am I really gonna... disappear?

Mm-hmm. Can a musical chair

change its tone

when the tablet of granite

is inscribed with a bone?

Hmm. The king who sings

with pages of sky

fears too much the dawn

that rises with lies.

He says there's.
Something wrong with the book,

And that if you don't sign,

your story... will...

What? What?!

Oh, sorry.

If you don't sign,

your story will continue.

Ah, really?

Oh, that's great.

I think.

Uhh! You think?

Hey! Riddlish is not

an exact language.

Female Narrator:

At last it was Legacy Day.

Next we have.

Apple White.

I am Apple White,

daughter of Snow White,

and I am ready to pledge

my destiny.

And next, Raven Queen.

I am Raven Queen,

daughter of the evil queen,

and... I pledge...

uh... I...

Come on, do it!

Ohh!

I am Raven Queen,

and I'm going to write

my own destiny.

My "happily ever after"

starts now.

Oh, no!

Yay!

Raven did it!

I'm still here.

I didn't disappear.

How could you be so...

so selfish?

All:
Boo!

All:
Yay!

I'm sorry, Apple,

but I... oh!

Ahh!

Hold everything!

Raven:
Ohh...

I didn't know

I could do that.

I'm sorry, Apple,

but I don't want anyone

to tell me who to be.

I want to figure that out.
On my own.

And don't you understand?

I'm not the only one

who gets to choose

their own destiny now.

We all do... even you.

But I don't want to choose

a new destiny.

I liked the one I had,

and because of you

it might not happen.

But it might.

I don't know.

I... I just don't know.

Wow!

You're still here.

No poof, poof, poof. Yay!

I know. It feels good.

Male Narrator: - Life between the Royals.
And the Rebels.

At Ever After High

would never be the same

after Raven stood up

for what she believed.

Female Narrator:
What she believed was wrong.

She didn't honor her destiny.
She tempted fate.

Listen, narrators, we are trying

to have a nice moment here.

Raven does not know

the forces she has released.

This must be contained

before her dangerous idea.
Spreads.
