Once Upon a Time: Ever After High (Book 3)

Ch.15 Froggy situation

After gathering the ingredients for the punch, Ginger and Hopper went to the cooking room and started to make the punch.

"I never knew punch contained so many ingredients" Hopper said as he poured in some pink powder.

"Well again this isn't an ordinary punch" Ginger said as she added some sugar to the punch.

"Now it says we have to add 2 tablespoon of grind up baby unicorn horns?" Hopper read the directions.

"Got it right here" Ginger pulled out a jar of grind up baby unicorn horns.

"I didn't know unicorns can loose their horns?" Hopper said.

"It's true" Ginger said "It's like loosing a baby tooth and then they grow a new one".

"Interesting" he said amused as she poured in the unicorn horns.

Hopper then started to smell something sweet.

"What's that smell?" he asked.

"Oh while I was waiting for you, I decided to bake some cupcakes for the party" Ginger said.

"What kind?"

"All kinds" she smiled.

Just then, Faybelle came in.

"I thought I smelled something sweet in here" she said.

"What do you want Faybelle" Ginger frowned.

"Like I said" Faybelle frowned as she placed her arms on the table "I smelled something sweet in here, so I decided to take a look ad see what poisonous treats you're making".

"Just punch for the party" Ginger said "And no, it's not poisonous".

But Faybelle then picked up a jar and read the label.

"Grind up baby unicorn horns?" she said "Sounds like you're making a potion to me".

"Kinda like that" Ginger admitted "But it's safe".

"And Hopper" Faybelle turned to him "You're helping her?"

"Actually she's helping me" he corrected "I'm bringing this punch to Briar's party this Saturday".

"Wow" Faybelle groaned "I party that I wasn't invited to".

"You can come if you like" Ginger said.

"Oh sure" Faybelle smirked "Be the party crasher that I was born to be".

She then took a sniff.

"Is something burning?" she asked.

"My cupcakes!" Ginger gasped as she and Hopper ran to the kitchen.

At that point, Faybelle gave a sneaky look as she pulled out a tiny container filled with some dark powder and poured it into the punch. She gave a stir as the powder dissolved into the punch. Soon Ginger and Hopper came out from the kitchen as Faybelle acted like nothing had happened.

"Well that was close" Ginger set down the hot cupcakes.

"Wow" Hopper looked at the cupcakes "There really is different flavors, chocolate, vanilla, red velvet".

"Now we just gotta let them cool before we frost them" Ginger said.

"Well I've had enough of this" Faybelle said as she left the room.

After she left, Ginger and Hopper continued to added more ingredients to the punch, not knowing what evil Faybelle had put in it.

Math was a pretty hard class for Elena, it was easy for when she first came to Storybrooke, but things are getting harder. The teacher, Mr. Wren was a strict teacher, and no one wanted to get him mad. But now everyone remembers him as the Big Bad Wolf from Little Red Riding Hood, and his daughter Kayla was Cerise Hood, daughter of Red Riding Hood. And today, Mr. Wren was passing out graded quizzes to everyone. He handed Elena back her quiz. Grade 60. Elena sighed as she rubbed her forehead with her fingers.

"Dang Elena" Ilene said from the desk next to her "What happened? You should to be good in this class".

"I don't know" Elena sighed "This semester is just getting harder".

"Well you better do well on the test coming up, if you fail that you could fail the semester".

"I'm trying the best I could" Elena sighed again "What did you get?"

"65" Ilene sighed.

"At least you got higher than me" Elena sighed.

"But I still failed".

Elena just gave a groan as she rubbed her forehead again. But in the back of the class, Mira watched Elena being stressed out by her grade, she now knew what subject Elena was struggling with. After class, as Elena was heading towards her next class, she was stopped by Mira.

"Hey Elena" she said.

"Oh, hey Taylor" Elena said, still thinking that Mira's name was Taylor.

"So I couldn't help but overhear that you're struggling in Math".

"Yeah" Elena sighed "If I fail this test I'll fail the semester".

"Perhaps I can help you" Mira said.

"Really?"

"Yeah, I'm pretty good at math, so maybe I can tutor you".

"Oh, I appreciate that".

"So what do you say after school I can tutor you at the 'Wonder diner'?"

"Okay" Elena smiled "I'll be there".

"Great, see you then".

After Elena left, a sneaky smile curled up Mira's lips. Her plan was just starting to work. But after school, before Mira went to the 'Wonder diner' to meet up with Elena, she went into an empty science classroom and gathered some lab items. She then reached into her purse and pulled out some strange ingredients as she lit up a burner and started to heat up a beaker filled with some blue liquid. She then began to add the other ingredients as the liquid started to boil.

"Now for the final touch" she said as she used her magic to make the liquid get smoky.

Soon the potion was finished and Mira poured it in a little vessel.

"If all else fails" she said to herself "Make Raven drink this".

But as she turned around to leave, she was surprised to see Dylan standing in the doorway with a shocked look on his face.

"You-" he pointed to her with his eyes widen "You're- you're her!"

"Her?" Mira said.

"You're Mira!" he gasped "Mira Shards!"

"Excuse me?" Mira said like nothing was wrong.

"I got a text saying that Mira Shards was at this school, and now I realize that it's you!"

"Oh" she said with interest "So everyone is looking for me huh?"

"I see what you're trying to do" Dylan said, trying to hold his bravery "You're trying to make Elena drink that potion!"

"So you saw everything huh?"

"There is no way she's gonna be evil!"

"Oh Hopper" Mira smirked "It just takes time, she will be evil no matter now long it takes. So until then, why don't you play with your kind".

And with that she snapped her fingers making Dylan poof and disappear, until she looked down and saw a frog on the floor.

"Well this is certainly a froggy situation wouldn't you say?" she said in a sassy tone as the frog just gave a ribbit.

Mira then left the classroom, leaving Dylan who was now a frog alone on the floor, not knowing what to do.
