(Scene: Ever After High - Hallways)
(Love was in the air! People were giving each other valentine cards with eagerness and excitement to spend time with the ones they care about the most. Cupid was practically livid with the amount of love was practically merged with the atmosphere)
(Maddie and Kitty were giving each other cute cards, both giving their own twist as Maddie’s card gift to Kitty was confetti and Kitty’s card gift containing a launched pie out of it, splattering on Maddie’s face. The hatter girl laughs and enjoyed tasting the pie)
Maddie(Happy): (Humms to herself) Mmm! This is delicious!
Kitty: (Smiling shyly, looking away) I made it myself. Took a while, but I managed. I hope you like it.
Maddie(Adoring and excited): (Hugs her girlfriend tightly) I love it! It’s so you! It’s wonderlandiful! You’re the best!
Kitty: (Blushing happily) Glad I made you happy. And your gift was wonderlandiful too.
(It was a lovely moment. But unfortunately, it didn’t last long as a flash of pink envelopes around them, causing a few people attention and in an instant the wonderland duo disappeared out of bright light, leaving some students to either rub their eyes in pain from the light or confused about what had just happened)
(Scene: The Fandom Theater - ???)
(Maddie and Kitty suddenly appeared out of nowhere in a dark room, looking around looking confused as heck at how they got there)
Kitty: Okay, where the hex are we?!
Maddie(Curious): (Thinks to herself) Hm, for some reason, I have the slightest feeling that we’re in the Fandom Theater.
???: And that feeling is right!
(Startled, the girls looked around, trying to find who said that. And that was when the lights turned on)
???: So excited for you two to be here today for everyone!
(Maddie and Kitty find themselves in what looks to be some sort of game show with various color palettes of pink everywhere. The Fandom Theater residents were watching and cheering, excited for a good show)
Kitty(Confused): What the fuck?
Mitty(Intrigued): (Clapping) Ooooh!
???: I know, I know. One of my best works.
(The wonderland duo turned to where the voice came from)
(She looked like VP, but was clearly different in looks. For one, her hair was more wavy with magenta dyed below her black hair and pink eyes with hearts in them. She wore a hot pink leather jacket over a white shirt with a light pink heart on the front that showed some of her stomach. She also wore tight black pants and red shoes. What stood out most was the big feathery pink wings that could rival Cupid)
Kitty: (Realizes what was going on and groans) Are you kidding me?! We were at school!
???(Amused): Can’t stop me from whisking you two away! And don’t worry, I left a note to your headmaster and your parents that you’ll be away for the day.
(Then, Lucky and Brooke comes rushing to them)
Brooke(Worried): Are you two okay?!
Maddie: Good to see you Brooke! And we’re fine as ever!
Kitty: Other than the fact that we just got kidnapped right after a lovely moment, I’d say fine.
Lucky(Apologetic): I am so sorry. Venus gets a bit… too carried away.
Venus: My, whatever do you mean, Lucks?
Lucky: (Gave her a pointed glare) I’m just glad you didn’t go too far.
Brooke: (Glances at Lucky and whispers to him) Wait, what do you mean?
Lucky: (Whispers back) Venus is the part of VP that… likes- no, loves to ship.
Brooke: (Widened her eyes) Oh.
Lucky: Yeah. I’m just happy she didn’t… (Hesitates)
Brooke: Do I wanna know what you were gonna finish with that sentence?
Lucky: (Firm) No.
Venus: Since I didn’t properly introduce myself, (Smirks) The name’s Venus! The more attractive personality in VP’s head if I do say so myself. (Keeps admiring herself)
Kitty(Deadpanned): (Looks at Lucky) Let me guess, she is also the narcissistic part.
Lucky: (Half lid eyes) Yep.
Venus: (Keeps admiring herself until she realizes she has something to do and looks at the others) Oh, wait that’s right! The game!
(Kitty and Brooke looked at each other warily while Maddie was excited)
Maddie(Excited): Oooh. What kind of game?
Venus: Glad you ask! (Using her wings, she flew above and showcased her stage) Welcome to “The Ship-a-thon!” Where three couples compete in various activities and in the end, win the grand prize!
Kitty: Whelp, here we go again.
Brooke(Anxious): And by activities?
Venus: Nothing you need to worry about considering this is only for couples! Don’t worry, I have judge positions for the both of you! (Snaps her fingers, and in a flash of pink, Lucky and Brooke were by the side as judges along with Snowflake, who waves awkwardly)
Lucky: *Sigh* yeah, they’re on their own.
Venus: Now, (Snaps her fingers and in an instant, Maddie and Kitty were already participating and there was clapping heard and Venus speaks from a microphone) Welcome to the Ship-a-thon! Where couples compete together to earn love points to win! First up, we have the wonderland duo, Maddeline Hatter and Kitty Cheshire!
(Maddie was waving to the audience in excitement while Kitty just gave a bored look)
Venus: Next up (It was dark for a moment. A drumroll was heard and the lights turned on to reveal the next competitors) The fantastic girls, Flamey Everin Dracolor and Unicily Fruitloop Tetria.
(The crowd cheers as Unis and Flamey appear. Unis waves to the audience in enthusiasm)
Flamey: (Gave Venus a look) Really? Our middle names as well?
Venus: (Shrugs) Meh. Been boring in the head these days.
(The lights turn off again)
Venus(Dramatics): And now our final couple. The amusement park entertainers, Wolfy and Winter Howlers.
(Wolfy and Winter appear as the lights went back on, and the audience cheers)
Wolfy: (Bows his head) Thank you! Happy to be here!
(Winter awkwardly waves)
Venus: Now we have our couples, (She claps twice, making it dark again. There was a spotlight on and floating pink hearts appeared like bubbles in the air. She poses dramatically with a wink and her hands forming a heart as the lights turn back on) Let’s have a lovely time!
(The crowd cheers louder and Venus snaps her fingers, getting in their own stations)
Venus: Now, I bet all of you are wondering about the three activities you’ll be participating in today.
(They all nod)
Venus: Well, (Smirks mischievously) Why don’t we find out?
(Suddenly, a part of the floorboard from the middle of the stage opened up. Out of it, there came a big spinner full of various activities sectioned out)
Venus: (Shouts in excitement) You all know what that means! Let’s spin that wheel, people!
(The crowd cheers their excitement loud and clear. Venus looks at the couple contestants)
Venus: Now, which one of you would like to spin the wheel?
Maddie: (Raises her hand excitedly) Oh, oh! Me! Me! MeMeMeMe-!
Venus(Slightly Overwhelmed): Okay, okay!
(With a bright smile, Maddie skipped to the wheel humming happily with Kitty giving her an adoring smile as she followed behind. As they get to the wheel, Maddie spins it with lots of enthusiasm. As it spins, it lands on “Dance off!”)
Venus(Intrigued): Ooh! Competing in fluent moves of rhythmic style and fun! Interesting! All you gotta do is impress the judges with your dance moves to win points.
Kitty(Cringes): Do we have to?
Venus: Yes. Now, (She claps her hands, and the place went disco with music) Let's dance!
(Despite not wanting to, the cheshire danced anyway. She was pretty good as her and Maddie danced together happily, giving out a good performance full of creativity and wonder)
(Winter and Wolfy were somehow doing a fancy dance together and were doing damn good, impressing everyone)
(As for Flamey and Unis…)
Flamey(Embarrassed): (Failing at dancing which was a cross between a goose flailing and a camel with two left front feet) Why did it have to be dancing?! I’m a librarian for fucks sake!
Unis(Amused): (Chuckilng as she danced just fine) What does being a librarian have to do with dancing?
Flamey: I’m just awkward! Stop laughing!
Unis(Encouraging): C’mon! Dancing is supposed to be fun! Just ignore everyone right now and just focus on me. Let loose!
(Though unsure, Flamey listened to her girlfriend and started letting loose, ignoring everyone. She was soon smiling as she laughed along with her partner)
(Then the music stopped and the stage went back to normal)
Venus: Okay, the judge's decisions are made up!
Brooke(Shocked): WHAT?! But we didn’t even discuss anything!
Venus: You didn’t have to. One of the various traits of being a writer in your own story is that they can choose to look into a character's emotions and thoughts.
Brooke: What?! Wait, does that mean VP could have looked into our thoughts this whole time?!
Lucky: *Sigh* Not all the time. VP doesn’t do it often considering she wants to respect boundaries and people’s private thoughts just as much as others would do for her.
(Brooke nodded. Makes sense)
Venus: Fantastic girls get 100 points! For the wonderland duo, they get 300. And finally, Amusement park entertainers get 400 points!
(The contestants high fived)
Venus: Let’s take a short break!
(Later)
(After the break, everyone was murmuring to themselves, waiting for their host. All of them were confused as to where she was. She does have a show to host)
Brooke(Worried): (Whispers to Lucky and Snowflake) Where is she? Isn’t she supposed to be here by now?
(Snowflake shrugs, unsure)
Lucky(Exhausted): *Sigh* I’ll be right back. (He stands up, and walks out of there)
(Scene: The Fandom Theater - The Break Room)
(Lucky came in, looking for Venus. His patience was testing)
Lucky: Venus? (irritated) Venus, you need to start the show that you started! We’re the heck are you?!
(He kept searching for some more to find the valentine personality. It was getting repetitive as he was getting more annoyed the more he looked. Even looking at the same spots)
Lucky: Venus… (Ink may have been moving)if you don’t come out of where you’re hiding…
(He stops himself from more anger as he hears snickering. Snickering that he knows all too well coming from the behind the couch)
Lucky(Angry): Oh? Laughing at my misery, I see?(moves the couch)Well too bad!
(Venus shrieks in surprise as she drops her manga)
Lucky: (Blinks in bewilderment. He calms down his ink as he comes to the conclusion) You got distracted reading yuri manga, didn’t you?
Venus: (Foolishly playing dumb) I don’t know what you mean…
(Lucky just keeps giving her a deadpan stare)
Venus(Nervous): Look! I just read this good and absolutely funny manga that I had to read! Can I just go back to reading? I’m sure everyone else can wait a little-
Lucky: No. (Takes her by the ankle) You’re coming back whether you want to or not. (Starts dragging her away)
Venus: (Claws away on the carpeted floor, wings flailing gust of wind but it was no use) No! Please! Leave me be! Let me read more useless lesbians! Pleaseeee!
Lucky: You can do that later. Come on.
Venus: (Shouts in dismay) It’s not FAIRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!
(Scene: The Fandom Theater - The Valentines Game show)
(Everyone stared confused of their host wallowing in pitiful tears)
Venus: (Wallowing) Why….
Brooke(Unsure): What happened?
Lucky: (Not amused) Nothing you need to worry about.
Kitty(Impatient): Can we just get on with it already?
Venus: (Snaps back to focus. Though it doesn't really help her sadness) Right. (Looks at the contestants) Who wants to spin the wheel next?
Flamey: (Raises her hand) Guess I’ll go.
(Flamey along with Unis tagging along, walks over to the wheel. She spins it, whirling around and around until it lands on “Guessing games”. Many yelps in surprise at Venus’s squeals)
Venus(Excited): (Yells) Yeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!! Guessing!!!
(Not all of the fandom theater residents were surprised. The Ever After High group were confused)
Lucky: (Notices this) VP likes to make people guess. A lot.
Venus: (Claps her hands, and pink cards appear in each of the contestant’s hands) All of these are lovey dovey couple questions that you’ll ask to see if you know each other like you think you do. A good way to learn more about your lover! If you get one right, you’ll get 100 points or more every time you get it right in a row. If wrong, nothin and you lose your streak. We’ll take turns with each of you and see who earns the most points. First up, the wonderland duo! Good luck!
Maddie: (Looks at her first card and reads) “What does your partner like to do in their free time?” Hm… Well, if I know my Kitty, she would nap on her favorite tree spot of course. And spending time with friends. Oh! And pranks!
Venus: Ding ding ding! Correct! 100 points!
(celebratory music was heard, and the crowd cheered. Kitty smiles fondly at the Hatter and hugs her tightly, purring happily as Maddie kisses her cheek repeatedly)
Venus(Adoring): (Takes a picture) Aww. I just… Oh… (shakes herself back) Okay, next question. Kitty?
Kitty(Distracted): Eh… something about favorite food. Tea and crumpets, of course.
Venus: Ding ding! Also correct! (Music plays again) 200 points! (Points at Flamey and Unis) Your turn.
Flamey: (Looks at hers, only to blush in surprise at the card while moving it away) What the-
Venus(Confused): Hm? (Snaps her fingers to teleport over, looking over the librarian’s shoulder to see what was wrong. She widened her eyes and took it away) Whoops! Sorry. Uh, it got mixed up with the… um… man, this is awkward. Um, different question! (Snaps her fingers and is back to her usual spot)
Flamey: (Gives her a stink eye, red in the face as she looks at the next question while trying to keep her composure) “What is your partner’s favorite color?” None. She likes all of them.
Venus: Ding ding ding! (Music played for a moment again) Correct! 100 points!
(Flamey and Unis high fived)
Venus: Next question!
Unis: (Looks at her card) “What is your partner’s worst… angst…” (Her eyes were widening as she looked at Flamey)
(Flamey’s eyes shot up in horror at the question. As did everyone else)
Brooke: (Looks at Venus with a stern face) Venus, why is that a question? Isn’t that a bit personal?
Venus(Nervous): Well… I was a bit too excited with the games and questions so I didn’t really think that hard…
Unis: Can we just skip this one?
(Venus was about to protest but Flamey beat her to it)
Flamey: No, it’s fine.
Unis(Worried): I don’t want to-
Flamey: It’s been years. It’s fine for you to answer.
Unis(Hesitant): Your parents.
Venus: … correct. 200 points. (Unease at the silence) Man, this it… let’s just move on to the next couple to cheer ourselves up.
(Later)
(It has been multiple questions after another, and three of the couples had various different points received)
Venus: Okay! The tides are set! With the wonderland duo at 1400 points, the fantastic girls with 1200 points, and amusement park guys on 1500 points. Final quest-
(crashes and screeches of panicked surprise erupted in the room. Everyone was confused as to what was going on as beast of black with red eyes emerged, growling and hungry)
Kitty(Scared and on edge): (In a protective stance along with Maddie) What the hex are those?!
(Venus’s eyes were wide with recognition. She turned to Lucky, who also had a knowing look)
(The beast were moving towards the audience. Luckily, the fandom theater is always prepared as they held out weapons out of nowhere and started fighting against the beast)
Brooke(Confused and worried): Where did they even get those?!
Maddie(Determined): (Takes out a random sword from her hat) Less questions as they are unnecessary at the moment! Charge!!! (She runs to the fighting, struggling with the sword’s weight)
(Brooke gives out a confused noise and Kitty smiles her way to her girlfriend, knowing that Maddie isn’t much of a knight as she would just be swinging that sword with no control. Brooke just grabbed a random wired microphone and used it as a swinging weapon)
(Venus gave out an annoyed hum, snapping her fingers to make a hot pink crossbow appear in her hands. With this, she fired pink arrows at the enemies with great precision)
(So far, the theater residents were holding out on their own. With Flamey breathing out fire, Lucky shooting out gunfire, and Snowflake using his pokemon, victory was on their side)
(... Until that hope was lost when a even bigger beast that reminded people of godzilla came crashing)
Kitty(Terrified): Well, we’re dead.
(All hope might be lost. But Venus just have had enough of it)
Venus(Angry): That is it!
(At the sound of her booming voice, everyone froze)
(Venus was shifting. She was bigger, and had on white robes laced with gold and red instead of her casual clothes. She had curved red horns on her head and fangs sharp like a vampire. Arms were filled with battle scars along with her face, the black eyes with red pupils with pink hearts inside them. She even sprouted four more extra wings as all six of them were so huge that they look like they can make tornadoes)
Kitty(Curious): (Eyes wide, as a question formed) Off topic but is she a demon or a god? Because I can’t really tell.
Maddie: (eyes wide with amazement) Perhaps both.
Venus: Do you know how hard I worked on this debut? How hard did I come up with this? Days! Days I tell you! And to have it wasted all because Vil decided now of all days to show off and ruin it! (she held her crossbow, which also had a major upgrade as it was bigger and laced with gold, and pointed at the gigantic beast)Well, give this warning to her once death awaits. Never mess with things you don’t understand!!!
(There was a flinging sound, as the arrow on fire shot towards directly to the beast’s chest, making it burn agonizingly for all to see. Venus gave a wicked smile as she cackled. Everyone stood terrified. Even the beast ran away, knowing it would also be their demise the longer they stayed)
Lucky: Well, looks like the ship-a-thon is canceled. (Looks around the ruckage around the room, thankful no one was hurt. He notices Corgo’s irritated expression at the mess) Anyone wanna help clean up.
(Sounds of agreement filled the room)
(hours later)
(Scene: The Fandom Theater - Outside the theater)
(Venus, back to normal, stared out thinking with an unusually serious face as she sat. Lucky arrives, concerned)
Lucky: They’re waiting for you back at the dance.
(She stayed silent)
Lucky: (Sat next to her) Pretty strange for you to ignore a dance full of music and couples.
(She still doesn't answer)
Lucky: Does… does it have to do with Vil…?
Venus: *sigh* She's up to something. This attack… Why attack out of nowhere? And today of all days? And… Why show any signs after all this time?
Lucky: Well, who knows what that girl is thinking. After all, she’s the most villainess out of all of you. (Tries to find the right words to her worry) We’ll be ready this time. And if they ask… Well, no use denying.
Venus: (Smiles) I guess. (Stands up) C’mon, let’s go back. Ain’t no way they’re having a valentine dance without me.
Lucky(Glad): That’s the Venus I know.
(Scene: The Fandom Theater - Food court)
(After everyone was done with cleaning up, Venus was the one to announce a dance being held at the food court. Everyone was clearly excited to be dancing)
(dark but illuminated it was pink and red flashing around. Music was being played as well as a DJ being there. Everyone, especially the couples, were having a time of their lives)
Venus: (Holds out a microphone, and gives a noise of attention to the audience, all eyes on her) Glad you all are here for today! Even though our ship-a-thon was canceled, that still doesn’t mean that our prizes won’t be given to our winners.
(Everyone gave each other a look of confusement)
Venus: Since the results and everything were… well, destroyed, I thought that we’ll just give the prize to all the contestants. (She looks at each contestant that participated) Maddie, Kitty, Flamey, Unis, Wolfy, and Winter. Thank you for playing. And as a reward, you all get free magical summer vacation tickets. (She snaps her fingers)
(Each of them had a gold and blue ticket appear in their hands)
Venus: (Smiles at them wide) Can take you anywhere you like. But they can only be used for the summer. Hope you enjoy them.
(Maddie and Kitty stared at their tickets full of wonder. They smile at each other with love and happiness)
(Flamey and Unis hugged each other affectionately)
(Winter gave a kiss on the cheek to his husband, as they both looked at the family photo that Wolfy was holding. It was a old picture of the two of them hugging a young girl)
Venus: Before I leave, I want you all to have a fun time. (A fist in the air) Enjoy!
(They all cheered out, ready to dance again)
(Photos:)
(Maddie and Kitty making funny faces)
(Flamey and Unis hugging each other close)
(Winter and Wolfy kissing)
(Everyone dancing)
(A group photo with all of them smiling. The couples holding each other close. Words “Happy Valentines!” was written in red)
(Scene: Ever After High - Maddie and Kitty’s dorm - Night)
(Raven didn’t know what was going on. But when she heard giggling from her BFFA’s room she enters)
Raven: Hey, Maddie. You here? People have been saying you and Kitty disappeared out of nowhere.
Maddie: Oh! (Shares a knowing glance at Kitty) Nothing to worry about, Raven. Just some love with some friends.
