Decided that I needed some writing practice, so I'm taking a shot at writing a scene from @xbomboi's EAH arc, Fable Fest. It's a great fan creation of what could've been, so please go read it!

Fair warning, this is my first time writing using canon characters AND fanon characters, so this may not turn out like my other writing. I hope I got Deter's and Wanda's characterizations down well. Enjoy!

"Look," Deter began, "We don't like you." At "you", he pointed his clapped hands towards the two royalty standing before him and Wanda.

I can't believe I had to say that. What are we, spellementary students?

Apple made a sound similar to that of a kicked dog's, and Raven face fell from confusion to disbelief.

The short blonde was quick to regain her posture, though to without squared shoulders and clasped hands. "But why?" Apple gasped out. "That isn't fairest!"

Isn't fairest? That "isn't fairest?" Is she joking?

Deter chuckled bitterly. "I'll tell you why, Apple White," he replied, the embers of anger sparking to life, "You fairytale royalty act all high and mighty," he moved his hands in a quick, grand flourish, "while you couldn't care less about what happens to us." At that, his hands dropped back into a tight cross on his body.

Wanda pushed up her glasses, eyes like flint as she lifted her chin. "It's true."

Apple stepped forward, ignoring Raven's attempt to pull her back. "That's not true!" the blonde fired back, "Everyone plays an important part." She nodded firmly to herself, while Raven winced like she'd been stung.

Deter scoffed. I can't believe this girl is supposed to be the queen someday. "In what, your stories?" He jabbed a finger towards Apple, mouth quirking into a mocking smirk. "What about those that aren't in them? What do they matter, your future highness?"

Apple stumbled back like she'd been slapped, eyes glassy. Raven's body flared a bright purple, before settling as she stepped forward. "Hey, back off." She glanced back at her friend, eyes softening, before turning back to Deter. "She's learning." The blonde perked up, her smile returning. Deter fought the urge to roll his eyes.

Guess little miss trailblazer needs a wake-up call, too.

"You're no better than her, Raven Queen."

Raven's brow furrowed, and her expression turned back to confusion. "What?"

This time, nothing deterred Deter from letting his eyes roll with a scoff. "They call you the rebel of all rebels, but I'd hardly call what what you've started a rebellion."

"Excuse me?" Her voice was sharper now, but Wanda's low chuckle and nod of encouragement to Deter fueled the burning rage in his throat.

Like a lion with a gazelle, he circled her, going in for the kill.

"Sure, you may think you "freed everyone from the chains of destiny", he retorted, putting emphasis with air quotes, "but that's only for the same people who've always had fairytales."

Her head swung as he waltzed, sparkling flames leaking from her clenched fists. "I'm fighting so that we can all have the freedom to choose our own stories."

This girl...! She really doesn't understand. Deter barked out a pained laugh. "All, huh? you really think that?"

Wanda clicked her tongue. "If any of us did what you've done, we'd be locked up in a dungeon."

"What!?" Apple's already porcelain face paled, and Deter fought back a vicious grin. Good. Her ignorance truly would be her downfall.

Deter could see Wanda's frustration grow as she sighed, long and hard, as though she was a teacher dealing with a particularly thick skulled student, leaning her head back and rubbing between her eyes before she locked in on Apple, lips curled back. "Fairytale society is designed to favor individuals with prestigious stories." Like yours, Deter thought, "Meanwhile, the rest of us are stuck living in them."

Deter stopped back in front of Raven. "That's what's not fairest." His smirk widened as Apple withered before his very eyes.

"I-I didn't know..." Her voice faded off, and she shrunk further into herself as Deter and Wanda glared.

That's right, you didn't, because you were too absorbed of yourself and your stupid Happily Ever After.

Wanda straightened and dusted off her clothes, her eyes still trained on the blonde. "Precisely why we must win. If our school beats Ever After High, everyone will be left with no choice but to acknowledge us for a change."

With the nail in the coffin, Deter turned sharply on his heel, hustling past Raven and knocking shoulders with her for good measure. Wanda followed, stalking past a wilted Apple and a shaking Raven.

Headmaster Perrault would be proud.

Turning his head, Deter snarked, "But good luck, right? You're surely gonna need it."

-------------------------------

And that's all! I hope this was good. None of these characters are mind, and I once again recommend reading Fable Fest!
